PIGS FEET.
a. Poor Foot Regarded by an Expert
as a Fatal Weakness.

as a Fatal Weakness
One of the best known experts on
hogs in. this country has this to say
about the Importance that good feet
play in the standard of perfection in
those animals:

that we look at the feet first, and un-

Is one that is more apt to be transmit

Significant Words.

There have been so many versions
of well known saying in American
politics and so many statesmen have
been credited with its authorship that
it is perhaps interesting to observe that
Adlai e. Stevenson in his book of rem
iniscences gives the real author as
John Randolph Of Roanoke. Steven

PEOPLE OF THE DAY
New illinois CONGRESSMAN.

The newest addition to the house of
representatives is William j. Moxley
Of Chicago. who represents the Sixth
Illinois district. He was chosen to
ill the vacancy caused by the election
Of William Lorimer to the United
States senate.
The new congressman is essentially
business man. and he has been sue
cessful. He never allowed his name
to be used for an elective office until
his nomination for congress was lit
orally forced upon him.
Congressman Moxley is a native Of
Ireland. but has lived fifty-seven of
his f1fty-eight years on the west side
of Chicago. He began his business ca

Eggs of Crabs and HOLSTERS.

Crabs and Holsters are Matched from
eggs, resembling upon birth nothing sc
much as the animalculae shown by the
microscope in a drop of ditch water
They are as unlike the shellfish they
are to become in mature life as a grub
is unlike butterfly. In the case OF
the crab the egg clusters are attached
beneath the animal after extrusion,
while with the lobster they become
fastened to the tail, which by its fan
ming motion increases the stream OF
oxygenated air through and among the
ova.

a Noh.PARTIsAN BENCH.

F. w. Meyers the Review edi-
torial writer. is personally greatly
pleased at the recognition accorded
Hon. A. Van Wagenen, of Sioux City,
by his nomination by the democratic
party for Judge of the supreme court.
Mr.. Van Wagenen is a man of fine
ability and unsullied honor. AS a
judge on the district bench he ac-
quilted himself with marked distinc-
ton. AS a lawyer he has won his
way to the front rank Of the Sioux
City bar. AS a citizen he has shown
himself broad-minded, fair and honor
able. Whenever any movement has
been undertaken for the benefit of
Sioux City he has been called on and
he has responded to every call. He
is man in the prime of life, vigor-
GUS, quick-thoughted, thorough stu
dent, judicious, but with enough warm
blood in his veins to prevent him from
letting the fine spun technicalities of
the law draw him away from the real
merits Of any cause. 1t is the evident
intent of the primary law to withdraw
the supreme bench as much as posi-
bic from politics SO it cannot be laid
to us as treason when we express the
hope that Mr.. Van Wagenen will be
elected. We need some new blood,
some rich warm red blood on the SUI
preme bench. We need to bring that
body closer to the people, and we are
convinced that no man would better
accomplish this result, and give to our
highest court the touch of common
sense and common sympathy which it
needs, than could Anthony Van Wag-
enen, Of Sioux City.

MUCK RAkERs.

1t is indeed thankless task to
criticise the muck-rakers. 1t is so de-
lightful to feel ourselves creatures of
superior virtue, so pleasant to join
with the Pharisees in that ancient
paean of praise, Il thank thee Lord
that am not as other men," that the
rude disturber of complacent dreams
is most unwelcome guest. Indeed,
when one insinuates that there are
honest men in public life outside the
muck-rakers themselves, one must be
prepared to have the finger of scorn
pointed at him and to be accused of
having sympathy and possibly COM
plicity with rogues and scoundrels.
Nevertheless, in spite Of the dan
gers which we confront, we desire to
express our opinion that the members
of our national congress are men of
average intelligence, that they are
possessed of ordinary honesty and
business acumen, that some of them
are inspired even by patriotic and
high-minded ideals, and that neither
the penitentiaries nor the asylums
for feeble minded were robbed to COM
plete the congressional quota. We
know this is not the popular view
which sensational Chautauqua orators
would inculcate, but it is the common
sense view and the only one which
does not impel the belief that the
American government is a failure.
However, it is the man who jumped
Niagara Falls who draws the big sal
airy at the dime museum and it is the
man who makes himself notorious by
calling all his fellows fools and
thieves who carries off the Chautau-
qua prize. Lenroot, the Wisconsin
progressive, did not place himself in
the muck-raker list and made man
ly and dignified presentation of his
cause. the Rainey speech was filled
with misrepresentation and gave full
proof of the excellent judgment dis
played by Theodore Roosevelt when he
placed Mr.. Rainey in the Ananias
class,

Farm Boys Shower Bath.

Correspondent to Wallaces' Farmer:
Two weeks ago we made bathroom
in a vacant corner of the barn. We
punched one circle of tiny holes about
an inch and q half apart in the bottom
of an old dishpan. then four holes in
the rim, and suspended it by four
wires just above ones head; then set
an old washtub underneath. One fell
low stands in the tub and says
ready" and another pours pail OF
water into the dishpan. Say, at works
fine; it costs nothing, and we fixed
1T in thirty minutes. Tell all the boys

about dark is wonderfully refreshing
in this warm weather.

the people were ready for them. This
has been called piracy" and perhaps
it is, but the fact remains that the re-
publican party can be relied upon to
take the hest of all the theories, boil
them down, get the good out of them
and put them into practice. That is
why we can be SO much of a republi-
can and SO much Of a socialist at the
sane time.

PRACTICE VS.. THEORY.

If one were to take the platform of
the socialistic party as promulgated
at the Iowa state convention, rip the
heading off, forget that it was Social
istic." and judge it solely upon its
merits, he would be much surprised
to find how familiar were the tenets
and how greatly the different planks
were in accord with his wishes. Be
ing ssocialistic," it is, of course damn
able and proper minded young men,
having the interests of their country
at heart, should climb on top of build
ings and throw eggs at it's advocates,
but, ripping the name of, you will
find that the platform contains heap
good medicine after all. Surely no
Bryanite could find fault with the
initiative and referendum proposition.
The postal savings bank has the ap
prevail of all parties. The strengthen
ing of the employers liability act will
meet the approval of every working
man, while old age insurance appeals
to everyone as most desirable thing
when we get around to it.
The only planks which would cause
distrust are those which cater to labor
unions. We have no unions out here
and our people are rather distrustful
of them. looking upon them simply as

The point is that socialism has
ceased to be the wild-eyed impossible
ity it was few years ago. There is
nothing said in the platform about
taking my typewriter away from me
and giving it to the man with the hoe
in order to even things up. There is
nothing anarchistic, nothing lunatic,
in the document. In fact, it is disap-
pointingly commonplace and sensible.
Those looking for sensations will be as
disappointed as the young student who
labored through Table Constantin''
in the original French in order to get
the thrills out of that most staid and
respectable volume.
/ The great change is not so much in
the attitude of the socialist party as
in the attitude of the people. We are
gradually learning that competition is
a failure. that it brings out only the
worst, the most ferocious, the most
selfish traits. We are learning that

of its theories, the socialists will no

SALOON MEN HUNcoED.

IL 4 x Z
The greatest mistake the liquor in
terests in Iowa have made in many
years is in insisting that the democrat
ic platform reopen the liquor question
throughout the state. From the stand
point of the liquor dealer some of the
provisions Of the mulct law may seem
oppressive, but we are convinced that
the sO-called liberal element in the
wet counties, totally underestimates
the strength of the anti-saloon senti-
ment in the dry counties. This senti-
ment Is not confined to any party. We
believe there are counties in the state
where not hundred votes could be
obtained for any change in the liquor
Z laws, save to make them more rigid.
i This being the case, we doubt if the
democratic party has done favor to
the liquor interests. 1t would have
been much better for them to have
avoided agitation. The plank was in
serted simply to enlist active financial
support. This it will perhaps do, but
the outcome will be that the saloon
men will be greatly out Of pocket and
) the very best result that they can hope
for is that the mulct law shall be al
lowed to stand. The mulct law was
q compromise measure, in some ways
It is distasteful to the liberal" ele-
ment and in others it is distasteful to
the prohibition element. Without en-
tering into the right or wrong of the
matter at this time, we believe the
liberals have everything to lose and
nothing to gain by stirring up fight
all over the state simply to aid the
democratic party.
~ Look at the situation in Crawford
county. We practically have a county
option high license law at the present
time. The saloons have complied with
the requirements of the mulct law, the
petition has been circulated and APP
proved, the interests of the saloon
keepers are secure for number of
years, providing that they shall abide
by the police regulations of the mulct
law. Further, by the Moon law, they
are protected from increased competi.
ton. There may be fewer saloons
but there cannot be more saloons. This
!. law gives the present proprietors q
practical monopoly not enjoyed by any
other business. What have the sa
loon men of Crawford county to gain
by renewed agitation? What guaran
tee is there that new option Law
would not have just as high if not q
higher license? What guarantee il
there that the police regulations would
not be just as strict if not stricter.
What guarantee that under the new
law there might not be dozen sa
looms in Denison instead of five? Still
further, what guarantee is there thai
the agitation will result in legisla
ton favorable to the liquor interests
It is not entirely possible that, should
the fight wax warm and the prohi
bitionists be successful, the result
would be the repeal of the mulct Law
with no substitute in its place restor
ing the status of the old prohibition,
days, a status which would drive every
responsible man out of the liquor bus
mess? 1t is our honest opinion tina,
the liquor interests for suckers and
the liquor interests as suckers and
that the best they can get out of re
newed agitation is the worst of it.

EMMA POE ALLEN.

New York, Feb. 24.-The remark
able tenacity with which Missourians

in letter from Mrs. Emma Poe Al

of the Chancellor, Perry NJ. McCrack-

reads in part:
Having saw a little sketch con-
corning your future welfare, I felt a
little interested in the name myself,
because that was my name heretofore
and I have often heard of you and
have been wondering if we were any
relation. My father is from Old Ken
tucky-name Anderson Poe-and two
brothers also. If you should happen
to receive this would be glad to hear
from you.''
The letter was probably prompted
by the discussion recently revived in
regard to permitting Poe's name to
be engraved in the hall of fame.

finally succeeded in dragging his arms
