HIS OWN REFERENCE.

A young man with a practical know
ledge in his head, skill in his hands and
health in his body is his own letter OF
references Mix him up with sixty
millions of others and you will find him
again as he will have habit OF being
on top Throw him naked into a de-
sert island and he will be at the head
of something. He does not go whih-
ming over the land. blaming fortune
and saying he has had no chance, but
goes out and does something. and goes
out again and does 1t better. Men that
can do things, either with head or
hands, are the men that are wanted.
and the demand is as great here and
now as it has been at any time since
the beginning.

HARMONY?

Under the sarcastic caption of 'Har-
mony' the Des y mes Capital refers
thus to the Times Republican:
The Marshalltown Times Republi-
can, which established a branch office
on the Pottawattamie reservation for
the purpose OF determining the con-
grassional situation but with disas-
trous results. demonstrates that its

ANOTHER PAVING BLUFF.

The Creston paving suit has turned
out TO be a bluff pure and simple. War
ren Brothers, patenrees Of bithulithic,
who sued ST. Louis contractors for al
legged infringement have withdrawn
their suit Creston viii now get paving
for s1.6s per square yard. which IN all
essential parts is the anne as the paw
ing which costs Grinnen $2,13 per
square yard Grinnell pays $500 per
city block more for paving than Cresf
ton pays for the same thing. This paw
ing problem is largely one Of educa-
ton.
The game is the same in other kinds
of paving. Last summer we had gem
tlernen in Marshantown trying 70 get
s19S per square yard for paving which
contractors could lay for s1-35 Il they
could escape the royalty Of the patentee.
The T-R started an Investigation of
paving and discovered that in other
cities concrete paving had been laid in
the face of threatened suits for IN
lIIASEII4ti4l puL LA4HSL Lie NV f7SA@H-S 80
ways flatteued out into nothing more
than a bluff.
Then the city council drew up speci-
fcations which were the same as the
patented concrete in substance but
enough different to avoid the patent.
The owners of the patented pavement
arose before the city council and told
them that this new pavement was the
same thing as theirs and they threat
ened law suit but almost at the same
time the city of Fond Du Lac, Wis.
was laying the same kind of concrete
at 1892 per square yard. The velvet
the patentee sought above reasonable
price would have cost Marshalltown
$4,000 to $4,000.
And now the same lesson has come
to Grinnell from Creston on her bithn-
tithic. Bithulitchic has the same con-
crete base as concrete pavement The
only difference is in the top layer OF
wearing surface. In the case of con-
crete this is made one and one-hal1
inches thick OF cement, sand and gran
tie chips while In bithulithic the tor
course is made of granite c.>ssss es!!!ccs
In with a patented asphalt composition
For this patented top course two fnche.

ty in 1t is estimated at all the way from

CUArAuNs Is CONSISTENT.

An effort Is being made to charge
Cu.nrnins with all the blame for pre-
cipttating the contest in the late pri-
mary. 1t was ever thus. 1t was tier
ated and reiterated that when Cum
minis reached the senate his selfish de-
signs would substde and he would sit
down and allow his friends and sup
porters to shift for themselves. In this
he has disappointed all hts critics. He
has been absolutely consistent. He
has contended for the same things in
the senate that he contended for as
governor. He has never shirked re-
sponsibility, evadad an Issue or refused
to support a friend who stood for the
same principles that he stands Tor.
Had he taken no part in the primary

SMOKING THE T.-R. OUT.

tlaNla NOuUty ANSNSJ.
The editor OF the News has been a
constant and Interested reader OF the
Marshalltown Times Republican for
many years. We have learned to have
a great deal OF respect for its indie
pendence and reliability. We We're
especially interested IN its discussion
Of the relative merits OF the republican
candidates for governor at the late
primary, and agreed with It in the
main We are now waiting TO see what
/. intends to do with Carroll. The T.-R.
was outspoken IN Its denunciation Of
Carroll. He was paraded as man
Of mediocre ability. tool OF certain in
terests. a falsifier, traducer OF good
men. man unfit to grace the office
of governor of this state. More than
this, 1t proved its position.
If the T.-R was right before the pri-
mary it cannot consistently support
Carroll for the governorship. II the
paper is honest 1t Will repudiate the
ticket The democrats have a candi-
date for governor against whom no
breath OF suspicion has ever been is
sued His integrity has never been
questioned. HIS ability Is conceded.
AS q constructive statesman he IS
known to be the peer OF any man in the
state There is little politics in the
governors office. His duties are pure
ly executive. He does not have the
shaping of political policies. He but
recommends to the legislature and exc
cutes the law.
The T.-R should now be honest with
itself and Its readers. 1t should have
self respect enough and loyalty enough
to the principles Of good government
to come out openly and support Mr..
Porter for governor. The T.-R can
not afford to atuItify itself and advo-
cate the election to the exalted office
of governor in this state a man who It
has time and again stated was unfit
The fact that he is a republican and
that he has made fairly good govern
or is not sufficient. The question with
the T.-R should be and Is, can It sup
port a candidate for office that the pa
per itself has stated is unfit.

LABOR UNION EVOLUTION.

Whenever we see a labor union en-
ter upon a policy that takes thought
for material aid 10 its members in
time of personal misfortune we feel
that progress is being made. The re-
sources of labor unions are TOO often
reserved for fighting purposes. The
thing takes concrete shape in this
way: The man voluntarily on strike
gets help; the man involuntarily in
capacitated for work by illness or ac-
cideRt gets nothing. unless. perhaps,
if he should manage 70 earn a little
something, il would be an assessment
on that for the relief of the man in
good health on strike.
Fortunately. this policy is being
modified. The unions are coming 10
see that there is a large field for good
in providing against the adversities
that may overtake the individual
worker,
An example is the course Of the In
ternatienal Printing Freshmen and As
sistants' union which has undertaken a
Iaudable work on behalf of members
OF its organization afflicted with tu-
herculosis. The effort is made, TOO,
along the most enlightened lines. 1t
recognizes that this disease is durable
if promptly and properly treated. The
best medicine for the consumptive is
fresh air. The union has purchased a
tract of five hundred acres at Hale
Springs, thir.y-eight miles from Ashe-
willie. y. c.. noted for its health giving
mineral waters. and will there erect the
home. all of whose inmates strong
enough 10 receive benefit from physical
exercise will find opportunity for it on
the spacious tract, which will be util-
lied as a, farm.
This is an example Of the higher and
better mission Of the labor union. To
strike and TO fight when necessary is
all right, but TO strike and TO fight
should not be all Il Is pleasing
circumstance that evolution IS going on
in the right direction.

THE chief difference between
cooking for the sick and for
those in good health is that the
sick person must have his food
properly prepared and the one who is
perfectly well ought to have it proper
ly prepared. One is case Of neces-
sity in order to regain health; the 9th
er is case Of prevention to ward on
sickness. There is no medicine more
important and powerful than the right
kind Of food cooked and served in the
best way to make it easy OF digestion
and nutritious. Since this Is true
there is no part Of nursing more i'm
portant than that Of preparing the In
valid's meals. Selecting and cooking
meals for one who has little appetite

tritious foods and cooking them we'll

eye and thus aid digestion.
The food should be served in small
quantities and By courses. 1t is not

tray may be gratifying to the person
convalescing from a long illness when
food was limited to liquids, but as a
rule it is unappetizing almost to every
person. Before taking the tray to the
patient make sure that his room is In

SUCH A DIFFERENCE.
rGr,1ndy Rapublican.1

We wonder how many Of our readers
have noticed the difference between the
man who has been married but short
time and one who has been married
for several years. You can always tell
a young husband from an old one.
When a man has been married a few
months, you will generally see him
working in the garden or fixing up
about the house and while he works he
whistles OF sings, or occasionally looks
up toward the window to see If anyone
is watching him. A year later he is
still working in the garden but the
smile has changed to a frown and he
occasionally looks toward the house
wondering why in thunder breakfast
is not ready. Another year rolls by
and his looks would sour milk, but he
Is still at work. stopping occasionally
TO kick the dog or throw brick at the
cat. The next year We find him sitting
On the front porch. smoking a pipe,
while his wife does the digging in the
garden. Now just watch our young
men, as one by one they are caught in
Cupids net, and see If this rule does
not work out the problem correctly.

CLAM DIGGING PROFITABLE.

loTeulST County 1liuepeNueIlCeJ
The river bed for half a mile down
stream. beginning fifty rods below
the bridge, has yielded big returns
for the labor expended. For the
past month five men have been en-
gagged in clam digging in that part
of the river mentioned, and last
week finished their work, which
shows that sixty-five tons Of shells
have been gathered. These at SIG per
ton, which is the lowest price paid.
makes the product worth s1,040. AS
some of the shells sold at a larger
greater.
In addition to the amount received
for the shells, number of fine pearls
were secured, and. basing an esti-
mate on their value by the prices
paid for a few that have been sold
and offers made on others, they are
the total up to $3.50, which is very
satisfactory to the men for month 8
work.
Two pearls sold for $3.50, another
for ST., and an offer of $40 was made

slugs that will bring in a considerable

work and exposure in connection
with clam digging. The men. pro-

the water the greater part OF the time.
The clans are dug up with forks made
for the purpose and loaded onto boats
and taken to a central point where the
light shells are separated from those Of
a darker color. Then that the shells
may be easily opened and the nsussel
removed, the clans are boiled in large
kettles and searched for pearls. 1t

of the returns here mentioned, 1t is

Both campaign committees are
claiming a majority of the delegates in
the coming state convention. Each

where the various candidates will get
in their harmony arguments.
