IOWA DRY FARMING.
rit Lake Beacon1 ].

Prominent among the factors of
prosperity and bulging values in
northern Iowa is the plain drain tile
OF modern commerce. Only few
years ago the value OF tile In the pro-
motion of agriculture was not fully un-
derstood. Then when our land was
cheaper and markets lower there was
less in this farm investment and our
farmers lacked the means to invest
largely But after land has reached
the half hundred mark and markets are
ANYTHING like the present it is impos-
sible for any farmer or land owner to
demonstrate how he can afford not to
tile fiat land or prairie sloughs.
1t costs from $40 to s15 an acre to
tile farm naturally wet in rainy sea
sons From $1,000 to $1,000 seems
like lot of money TO bury on quar-
ter section. but when it is known that
by this investment the earning capacity
of the land is often much more than
doubled and It's selling value enhanced
from $50 10 $40 an acre the margin of
profit is so sure and so wide s to adj
nit of no question as to the invest
men;.
There is yet much thing to do in
northern Iowa but already the tiler
has worked wonders. From the car
window a change in the face of nature
is conspicuous. The acreage of profit
able crops is much larger even IN a
dry season ard in a wet season the
sum OF products ncomparably in
creased When the thing schemes are
all thru the wet season will have little
terror for our farmers for no crops will
be drowned out and there will be fit
ting seed time and abundant harvest.
1t is difficult to realize how the tile
drain is improving conditions on the
farm and contributing to the pros
perity of all who profit by successful
farming There is no question as to
this line of dry farming.

I love TO hear the story OF the mighty
men of old.
The martyrs and the heroes OF The
land;
love TO see the vision Of their deeds
of valor rolled
The men who built the world with
horny hand.
Their sacrifice was noble and hey
built for other times.
Beyond their own hopes sweeping IN
a flood.
But best Of airs the lesson that around
their story chimes
They had the Holy Bible In the blood
They hewed and fought and wrestled
with The forces IF The wrong,
They stood tour-squa-e 70 every wind

They PRAYED ana hoped and trusted
and trey IA bored WIKI song
Till twt,.gh, from the mornings early
They met eternal problems Of a print

With spirit stern as manhood in the
bud;
And here arose a steeple and beyond
Il rose town
Because they had the Bible IN the

We read their speech and sermon

Bipartisan Corruption.


The state of Illinois is as rotten as
New York, and in The same way. The
worst corruption j. that which has af-
fected both parties 10 point where
the worst elements of both can COM
bine to defeat the better of either.
That is government by a debauched
minority Of the whole. because the
healthy majority Is divided between
two parties II is the paradise of graft
ers and those who hire them to pluck
the public for private benefit.
This bipartisan corruption is com
mon in municipalities, is not unknown
in legislatu Is most fully developed
between Tammany and the republican
old guard IN New York, and is clearly
revealed in the disappointing result OF
the Illinois primaries.
That name is mock. by the way.
In New York those afraid Of the people
defeated any primary law. In Illinois
they got up a clumsy imitation primary
law, with the aid If an Obscure con-
stitution and a complaisant supreme
court, under which the politicians still
control nominations.
Thru this Hopkins was nominated.
and republican Legislators who took
Lorimer money and blaokmailed the
fish trust, and now democrats abso-
iutely under Indictment for bribery.
We do not know what Ia to be done.
so LONG as 1t is so much easier to COM
bine the evil minoritles in two parties
than the sound ma jorities
The combine on congressman fell
short. Cannon goes back shorn of his
best-er Notwithstanding, including
the unspeakable Beutsll.

The Iowa Taft club of Des Motnes
has closed and locked its doors They
are opened now only when a dealer
cones along to make an offer for the
furniture. or a junkman appears TO bid
on the ton or more of copies Of Mr..
Taft's Winona speech. and a ton or
more Of other documents defending
regular republicanism against insur-
gency. which the club was going TO
circulate. but will not now.
For the Iowa Taft club. with head
quarters at the state capital and mem
| bers ali over Iowa, is bankrupt, not in
purse but in spirit Its mem bers fought
hard all through the primary campaign
for Mr. Taft and his administration
against the assaults Of the Cumnns
insurgent forces, and il it didn't quite
win at least it held on and KEEP; the
banner of party discipline and party
loyalty flying in Iowa
But two things happened last week
which broke the spirit of the clut
caused its members to ask Whats the
use" and 20 put up the political shut
, tiers and prepare for a Liquidation Of the
tangible assets.
The first was Mr.. Taft's notice
through Mr.. Nortons famous letter
tAdt the insurgents VINO nave 1lOu ted
and condemned and fought him and
the regulars who have stood loyalty
by him and taken all sorts of blows
and abuse for him would hereafter
look precisely alike to him and would
be regarded as equally good republic

The second was letter from Secre-
tary Loudenslager of the republican
congressional committee soliciting Il
copy Of Senator Cummin's speech at
the Iowa state convention for use as
campaign document, with the prom
ise to circulate 1t throughout the coun-
try
The members of the club recalled
how Senator Cummins had praised all
the republican presidents except Mr.
Taft. how Mr.. Taft's picture was ex-
Guided from the convention hall, and
! how the Cummins platform that was
adopted damned Mr.. Taft with the
coolest and faintest praise. They also
remembered how the Curnmins news
! paper organ at Dies Moines hay ds-
nounced and ridiculed Mr.. Taft for
months in cartoon and editorial and
how its pet term for Mr.. Taft has been
/ the fat fraud"
And they remarked one to another
that II Mr.. Taft liked this sort OF thins
so well as to turn the other cheek to
it-as to invite more Of IT by declaring
that he would make no distinction be.

The COURAGE OF CITIZENSHIP.

W. ] BRYAN announces that he has
bolted the head OF the democratic
+,cke+ in Nebraska He does not favor
the election Of Dahlman and will not
support him Quite the contrary
Mr.. BRYAN desires Dahlnaan's defeat be-
cause OF what Dahlman stands for.
Unless he we're TO put party sub
eeryience above his mora convictions
and his standards % common political
decency Mr.. BRYAN can do nothing else
Dahlnan thoroughly ard joyfully rep
resents the liquor selling interests from
the brewer down 20 the bootlegger
His candidacy IS the demand ,or the
wide open state. He ia the vide open
candidate. OF the wide openers. Per
sonally he IS Of the vide open type. He
demands the repeal Of the daylight law,
pledges himself 20 veto county option
law, IN fact IS as trustworthy rep
resentative of the element supporting
him as tho ne were lookout" Or
cadet" How could Bryan support
him?
Personally Mr.. Bryan is not entitled
to large credit for MS refusal. Mr.
Bryan is "a great man, a clean man
privately and politically and Metho
dist 1t is OF no great personal credit
for him to oppose Dahlnan. It would
be very much 20 his discredit were he
to take the contrary course. His action
cHnches mis- claim 70 consistency; but
to stand openly for decent government
Is precisely what We expect and have
q right to demand of such men as Mr..
Bryan who VIII De a leader of men
when the half drunken rabble behind
the Omaha mayor is disorganized and
disintegrated and Nebraska IS trying to
forget Dahlman's name
For men in public and private life to
stand for the right thing ought not
to be extraordinary. For business
man to have convictions and express
and vote them ought not to be evidence
Of insanity or utter recklessness. The
private citizen or public man who in
sists on enforcement of law and com
pIiance with the statutes ought not be
regarded as a hero or a fool. Neither
Roosevelt nor Bryan Is doing anything
more than the plain duty of an honest
man when they stand for public right
eousness. The other choice is cowardice
and neither Of these men is coward.

SUGGESTED PHILANTHROPY.

Traer Farm Journal
The question was recently put to the
writer: IF you had the money of
Rockefeller. a Carnegie or a Morgan
what use would you put it to?
While it is easy TO speculate on the
numerous dispositions one might make
of these large fortunes we are sure
that the task would prove to be more
arduous than one might suppose II we
were suddenly to come Into possession
of such a large sum.
One idea that we have long cher
ished is that good disposition of a
vast sum os money might BE made in
establishing small farms OF ten, twenty
Or forty acres, with good Improvement
and modern conveniences and selling
these to poor families that congest our
large cities and give the city magis-
trates so much concern. Once estab-
lished in congenial surroundings It
would be well to have some Of our
prominent agricultural instructors visit
regularly at certain appointed inter-
walls tho communities and give such
instructions and assistance as were
seemingly necessary to make the work
Of each resident profitable and con-
genial.
Such places could be sold to settlers
on the installment plan, giving the
homemaker ample time. with little or
no interest In which to pay for the
home. All accumulation could be re-
invested making the system perpetual.
The people themselves would not
alone be benefited but the country in
general would be great gamer in added
products. Such system properly
worked out could hardly fail to pro-
duce untold good to the poorer classes
who are today ekeing out bare exist

WE'RE STARVED OUT.
IRurlinxton HaWkeVel


1t Is reported by the official record
ers that ffty-seven ministers in the
northern Iowa conference have sought
some other calling. finding it impos-
sible 10 make both ends meet as salar-
les are today compared with the cost
of living There is something that the
new association of comm ercial bodies
might profitably study when they are
bordering tho problem Why people
leave Iowa
Like the teacher the minister has
never been we'll paid in Iowa. Like the
minister. he may have had some slight
Improvement in his income in the re-
cent years, but there has been nothing
as compared with the increase in the
cost of living In the early days. people
did without many things that we con-
slider necessary now simply because
they could not get them. These COM
PARSONS with the days Of the pioneers
are unfair and unjust The right COM
PARSONS are rarely made.
For instance. In the early days. the
land was almost given away and the
man who had lot of land might be
no better off than the landless new
arrival. Perhaps not SO well. And now
The land is bringing excellent prices,
and everything that grows on the land
is bringing excellent prices, and the
people who We're able to maintain
churches and schools in the early days
ought to be able to pay ministers and
school teachers munificent salaries in
stead of trying to keep these salaries
on a level with the good old days when
land was cheap and there was no mar
ket for the produce of the Iowa soil.
and just a bit farther on land was TO
be had for nothing. People are leaving
Iowa, especially people who have no
land, because they can do better else
where. Ministers are leaving their
chosen calling because there is no need
Of their becoming martyrs in a land Of
peace and plenty, and because they can
do much better at something else.
There is growing scarcity of teachers
in Iowa because teachers can do ever
so much better at something else.
