that Garst is also Tenth district can

yon should win his spurs before asking
for the sword of command.
1t is undoubtedly true that Kenyon
was a progressive in the Cedar Rapids
convention OF 1901 but Byers was The
campaign manager for proSresslNes
there and Smith and Garst and Funk
We're leaders of whole districts On the
other hand in 1906 Kenyon was not
progressive, having preferred Perkins
for governor to the progressive candi-
shoulder With Cummns in that fight ana
became lieutenant governor when Cum
Minis was elected. Smith and Funk and
Byers were progressives then when
Kenyon was not. Again in 1908 Ken
ycn was for Allison when Smith and
Garst and Bvers and Funk We're all
fighting for the progressive candidates.
Kenyon was not a prog-t ssive then but
these other men were. Today ii can be
granted that Kenyon is progressive.
Those who know him most intimately
insist ,ha; he is and he probably is. but
he certainly has no such record for
loyalty to principles when under fire as
these other men have and it can be rea-
sonatly agreed that preference can be
claimed for them for United States
senator at the hands of a progressive
N majority in a party caucus without de-
nying to Kenyon the right to run and

TOUCH OF THE PRIMITIVE.

A discussion is in progress which
would be serious were it not at first
hand ridiculous Will Mrs Mary Baker
Eddy rise from the dead? Mrs Stet-
son says she will Other prominent
followers of Mrs. Eddy say she will
not. The newspapers, seeking inter-
esting matter and striking headlines
feature the assertions Of both and peo-
pie read them with diverse minds. The
strange part of it all is that a grea
many persons OF reasonable intelligence
actually hang on the discussion as tho
it really amounted to something.
In this twentieth century we pity the
credulity Of earlier and more ignorant
ages. The schoolboy smiles over the
general belief with which the legion
aries OF some noted commander of an
early century awaited the resurrection
in the flesh Of their dead leader.
Ancient superstition is a mock from
the SNUG standpoint of present day in
tellfgence-and then some Of the real
intelligence Of today considers serious
" Mrs. stetson's spurious prophecy
Of the bodily resurrection of woman
strong in her way and generation but
as dead as Julius Caesar was in his and
as dead as he is today.
The point in the discussion is no.
concerning Mrs. Eddy but the living.
Dead and turned to clay, she. like
Caeear might stop hole to turn the
wind away" And that is quite as
true Of all who have lived and died and
turned 20 clay" The astonishing
thing In the whole discussion is thta it
should be discussed at ali and that
enough Of the simple barbarian is left
IN the midst OF the mighty intelligence
ana wide knowledge Of the time to
lend . listening ear such asser.ive
notoftsty seekers as the Stetson

The Farm Help Problem.

The endeavor to introduce upon
American farms, and npon our larger
areas, those intensive methods Of Gull
tivation which afford the only sure
means Of hrir ging produt ion up to
the higher level attained on the farms
Of many European and some Asiatic
countries. frds itself everywhere hin
dered. and often entirely blocked,
by the absence OF efficient farm labor
Says a writer in the Farmers Insti-
tute Annual:
Talk as you may OF better tilIage.
Of better fertilization, OF rotation Of
crops. and Of the larger net profits per
anre to every tIller Of the soil, II he
would adopt these improved methods
Of farming: If you can not show the
average farmer where he can get COM
petent labor at somewhere near fair
wages. he is going to turn q deaf ear
to all your pieadings for Improvement.
For efficient farm labor can not be
bought. can not be hired. can not be
contracted for"
It remains true, however, that in
other countries there is suficiency
Of competent farm labor II is also q
known truth that thousands upon
thousands of competent farm lAborers
annually leave those countries to seek
new homes in the United States. The
anomaly is then presented Of q con.
slant stream OF labor Of the kind de-
sired, pouring ACROSS the Atlantic and
losing itself in a great volume Of simi-
lar labor already here, while the land
owners who need 1t are able to get Of It
little or none.
Evidently there is something wrong
in the manner in which our farmers
have approached the problem. May II
not be that it has been approached too
exclusively from the standpoint Of the
farmers selfish desires. with too little
consideration for the interests Of eithe:
the Iaborer or the community At large?
Let the writer Of the paragraph
above quoted-let the average farmer,
anywhere. who utters a similar COM
plant, ask himself: What have I
done to make life on my farm so at
tractive to the iaborers whom hire
now and then. that they should wish
to remain with me all the year round p
The effort has usually been merely to
get as much work out Of the laboref -
possible during his stay. and to make

While we strongly advocate the In
fusion of new pure bred blood into our

breed to begin with. do not be con-

another: this course is most disastrous
to those seeking to develop herd Of

Senator Smith OF Usage does not yet

there is none that appears to have a
letter reserve of real political strength
than he; but his ambition Is SO well
under control that its boundaries are
not now subject to accurate definition.
Meanwhile Of course it viii be remem-
hered that the progressive" divisions
have Senator Young very easily in the
position OF leading candidate. No one
sees where he can hope for enough
votes to win; but SO long as he is far

The point which the T.-R has made
as to Judge Kenyon is that his popular
fly as a progressive has been merely
that Of a favorite son. He has not been
prominent nor even a factor in the
statewide movement when compared
to such men as Senator James A.
Smith, OF Usage. Senator Funk or At
torney General Byers. While able as
a lawyer he has not the legislative ex-
perience OF any ore Of the three and

movement during the past fifteen years.

The Freeman-Tribune has the high
est regard for such good men and pro-
gressive republicans as Senators Smith
and Funk and Attorney General Byers
and comedies that they have been a
force in the state in support of the pro-
yressive movem ent. But surely the
Marshalltown paper is not in favor OF
fores.al]ing the candidacy Of other men
who have rot held office. but who have
been identified with the progressive
movement from the start. Senators
Smith and Funk and Attorney General
Byers have been greatly honored by the

LET THE FARMERS IN.
waterloo courier.1


The farmer must be considered
roads boosters, for the farmer is the
element most interes'e ed financially
both in outlay and income from good
roads. AS evidenced by the protest
of Z 3. Ieo. at session Of the War
1rdianola Saturday. the farmers do
rot care to be ordered to drag their
roads by any upstart convention Of
city pale-faces who probably own
automobiles and will be accused OF
advocating good roads for this rea-
son Whatsoever step is taken for bet
ter roads should he taken in harmony
with the farmer ard not without
his counsel.
This Is one reason why the making
of good roads should be entrusted
20 state admins ration for the draw
ing Of plans and the giving Of re-
words. AS long as good roads are
boosted merely by an Independent
o-ganizaticn, that ora nizatlon will
be accused of class policy and per-
eoral and selfish motives.
With the inauguration OF a state
system, road improvement would be-
core automatic and every farmer as
well as others would be represented
in the state government. There is no
compulsior. or disagreeahle infection
OF authority in a proper system of
state aid. A community can remain
idle II it chooses or 1t can get busy
and get its rewards for inspected
work on roads from the state. 1t
always chooses to do the latter. for
that is the most economical. No need
Of roads conventions except for
technical discussions by engineers
after state aid has made improvement
inevitable and systematic.

A good lady doctor has just ,dis- coveredn that 300, 900 or maybe it is 300, ,ooo, 900 boys and young men Ego wrong" every year. A con siderable smaller but still quite appalling number of the virtuous sex take the same bad road-ac- cording to the same authority. And the lady doctor aforesaid finds that our schools are the chief corrupt CTS of youth, are hotbeds of vice, and that our whole social and fnan- cial system will have to be altered to keep us from travelling straight to the demnition bow-wows. by fast express. The argument over the figures the lady doctor produc- es is stale and unprofitable. In the nature of things, it is merely pitting one guess against another. It seems to us more profitable, more comforting, and a million times more true to point out that the vast majority of youngsters who go wrong end by going right. We are holding no brief for the wild oats theory of ethics. We merely wish to point the obvious but unexploited fact that youth is healthy, and tends at the worst to "wobble right.
