A PLEA FOR TRAMPs.
Waterloo Times Tribune].


A half century ago the tramp was
unknown. They Were here but there
were so few of them that we did not
notice their presence. We have become
to abhor the tramp, to look upon him
as a thoroughly useless member OF So
ciety. and yet he has his good quail
ties. When We understand that the
professional tramps who will not
work, are but a small per cent OF the
membership and that the great major
ity are men in reality seeking better
conditions, altho '-roushing it, on the
road and another great body work oc-
casionally, we have perhaps properly
classified them. Too many people think
they are leeches on the body polite
and good for nothing, and think that
trarps are worthless. 1t IS surprise
20 most people to find that the tramp
is useful, on occasion, in his way. He
drifts to places where labor is need
ed. He is desirable for that length OF
time, anyway. Not all tramps are
thieves-only small Per cent OF them
are. They are, surely, class Of "ne'er-
Co. wells" ans the world would get
along better without them-but so long
as We must have them, let us think az
well Of them as we CIR and give them
creiit for everything to which they
are entitled.

BREWERS CLASSIFY SECRETARY VII son,

Secretary Wilson in his address to
the brewers at Chicago apologfzed for
the church people and others who have
criticised him for accepting an honor
airy office at the hands OF the associ-
ated brewers. He told the Assem- led
manufacturers OF beer that:
They are honest. conscientious.
well-meaning people, probably with the
best Of motives. but this great Amer
lean government cap not be run upon
the theories they hsld ;. The ma
jority of people who have attacked me
are church people,
The apology appears to have been
repudiated by those to whom it was
addressed Following Secretary Will
sons speech Presiden; Audreae spoke
Referring to the honest. conscientious
and well-meanin people" he said:
In this country the so-called tenn
perance movement has fallen into the
hands Of the most Incorporate people
Of the nation. Men suffering from
what I can only describe as chronic
moral inebriation, men utterly devoid
of reasoning powers, largely lacEing
in the most elementary knowledge . nd
-ducation, and worse than all. in only
o many cases prompted solely by the
numerical benefits they derive from
le cause they make a profession Of
championins
The saloon has it's drawbacks as
ell as its ADVANTAGES but one who
ally is conversant with the saloon
cognizes that those who do succumb
the temptations of the saloon are
CIV conpe red with the many who de-
rive only comfort and benefit from It."
The question then lands by the as
sertion Of the president Of the brewers
0-ecisely where the Church people"
I'd "well- meaning people" put it. 1t
plain question of the saloon.
cording to President Audreae the
loon is a good thing. "a comfort and

fessed d.awba cks. to be maintained

nercial motives So Audreae supple
rented Wilson's speech.
The apology was refused. The brew
ers' congress classified Secretary Will
son precisely as the Church" and
Temperance people" had him and his
action classified.

THE CARPET WelVFR's BOYS.

Franklin county farm land are worth

f. Wilson's letters from Hampton re-
Gently told of the three sons OF a
Philadelphia carpet weaver who many
years ago came to Butler county with
his family and settled ON a forty-acre
farm. Finding forty acres in the new
proposition he went back to Philadel-
rhia to weave carpets leaving the boys
and his wife on the forty. He earned
and saved s1,7oo in three years,
brought it west and added to his forty
acres by purchase. He stuck to his
land and the boys stuck to him. They
worked for wages or the rev railroad
for s110 a day while the mother and
the boys farmed. Nobody in this later
Iowa day can understand the scarcity
OF real money Of that earlier time and
how much dollar and ten cents
meant and amounted to to the pioneer.
But they stuck. The three boys now
middle aged men, own 1,1e0 acres Of
Franklin county land. The checking
account Of any one Of them at the
bank would have paid their fathers
wages Of $1.1o for decade. They're
rich as riches go in Iowa They are
successes az good citizens. But please
remember-they stuck. II worked as a

OF them. 1t is better place than 1t

The First Frost.
Across the gayiy bordered walk.
Along the garden wall,
A freaksome spirit of the night
Had sounded sudden call.
And quick his minions gathered there
They breathed along the way,
And straight,Nay every flower fell
In unexpected fray.
Geraniums ana scarlet sage,
And clematis that grew,
Upon the garden wall were touched,
BY what they scarcely knew.
They felt the chill Of icy breath
OF goblin fingers cold.
And shrank within them selves, till
stems
Their weight could not uphold.
And when the curtains of the night
Rolled back. and it was day,
A hundred brilliant garden flowers
In blackened spIendor lay.

BAD MEN and TOWN FfRsHALS.

A rev days ago the town marShal
of an Iowa town arrested a drunken
and disorderly man on the street. The
fellow resisted arrest as was his Gus
tom when interefered with by an Of
fee In the melee the marshal was
badly beaten and some OF his teeth
knocked out The fight ended when
the marshal shot the fellow and seri-
ously wounded him. Thereupon vocif-
erous condemnation of the shooting
and demand for the official head Of the
marshal waxed loud. II was uni
versally regretted" The marshal
should have taken him without resort
to shooting" etc. etc, and so on.
What was the marshal to do. lose
the rest Of his teeth and lose his man,
confess the supremacy OF active ruff
,ianism over the law, resign his star
and leave a drunken bully dominate
the streets yi:'ch the marshars sworn
duty was to protect? Possibly. also
after splitting cut the broken teeth the
.iEhtins for his own lie and limb as
ell as for the enforcement Of th= Ia y
and ordinances 1t would not be aston
shing if the marshal grew heated in
the contest and forgot for the moment
that he was supposed to be a legal
automaton and remembered that he
was a human being fighting to defend
himself.
Especially in the smaller towns and
cities there obtains a too general con-
clusion that because Bill" lives in
town and his father and his wifes
folks were early settlers, "Eill" &C

Henry Fisld and AlfaIfs.

Henry Field, tho seedSman, ID one
Of the greatest enthusiasts over alfal-
Il growing that we have in Iowa, says
the Shenandoah World. He insists that
1t 10 the best crop anybody can grow.
1t helps the land, and 1t makes more
money than any other one farm crop.
And he has q good many actual
figures to back up his enthusiasm
with. The farmers who grow alfalfa
make money out OF 1t. almost without
exception. But he goes . good deal
farther than any Of the farmers we
know about. He would carry 1t to the
extent Of growing 1t almost exclusive
ly on his farm, II he had the farm and
were farming. OF course the fact that
he does not have the farm, and that he
Is selling seeds instead of blowing
dirt, may make his viewpoint some
what different. The other business
besides the one we are in should gen.
orally be run in different way from
what 1t is run.
But he has just returned from q trip
down into Oklahoma. where he went
to see q new arrangement that man
has gotten up, an apparatus for curing
the alfalfa and making 1t into meal
right from the field. just after it has
been cut This man has been working
on this new mill for about three years
and does not have it fully developed
yet. But he can take the green hay
right from the field, and within twenty
minutes turn out sack of alfalfa
meal 1t is a much finer quality OF
meal than where it is made after the
alfalfa has been cured in the field be-
cause in handling it then about 400
pounds, or more Of the dry leaves
which are the best part of the alfalfa
are shaken Off This alfalfa meal is
now selling for $40 ton in Kansas
City.
We don't know much about farming
but we are convinced that growing al
falfa is a mighty good thing. and We
think more OF it should be done IN
Iowa and this county.
