Engineer Cooper and his force of
assistants and employees are afford
ing fine example OF how to do
things by the vigor and rapidity with
which they are pushing construction
of the big dam across the Mississippi
river here. Mr.. Cooper is himself a
veritable human dynamo and he in
fuses his spirit into all who come in
contact with him. Nothing is allowed
to interfere with the progress of the
work. Let the weather be what 1t
may, everything goes on with as
much energy and eclat as If condi
tions were always ideal. The secret
of Engineer Cooper's success lies not
alone in his big brain and his indom-
table will. He is an ardent disciple
of the gospel of hard work and knows
the inestimable value Of keeping ever
lastingly at It.

vital importance to the farmers of

VARIED CAUSES FOR DIVORCE.

Many causes for divorce have been
given by many people. The remedy,
in the opinion of many, lies in uni
/ form divorce legislation. Considerable
attention has been given to the state
ment of Judge Neff of Cleveland, who
is quoted as saving that high prices
coupled with small incomes, resulting
in an intense struggle to keep up APP
pearances and crafty social ambi-
TONS are responsible for a great
many of the divorces applied for in
this country. A Scranton. Pa, paper
quotes Judge Edwards OF the local
court there as taking an adverse
view from that of the Cleveland iur-
ist. Judge Edwards says that he does
not know what causes lead to the APP
plication for divorces in Ohio, but he
can say, without taking issue with
Judge Neff, that the high cost of liv-
ing has not been the chief cause for
divorce in this country.
Il have observed. continues the
Judge, that the hasty and improvi
dent manner of contracting marriages
is responsible for the divorces that
come before me. From my general ex-
perience, | should Judge that hasty
and improvident marriages cannot fail
to be failures. Young men and young
women get married without realizing
the step that they are taking, become
blinded, as it were, with romantic
dreams, and these dreams do not last
long
It is believed that the consensus of
opinion on this subject will rest with
the findings of Judge Edwards. When
hasty and ill-advised marriages can
be regulated long step in the right
direction will have been taken.

a TAXATION MIDDLE.
Court Decisions Confusing Relative to
Assessment Of Bank Stocks.

1 DES MONIES, Feb. 2.-The gem
eral assembly will unquestionably
adopt bill to place the assessment
and taxation of stock of national, state
and savings banks and loan and trust
companies all ON one basis, that of
having the shares assessed to the In
divldua1 shareholder as other moneys
and credits; but this will not straight
en- out the tangle into which this
whole matter has been thrown by
reason of certain court decisions, as
affecting this years assessments. The
demand for copies of the recent de
cision in the Estherville bank case
has been SO great that the supreme
court clerk was tempted to have it
printed in pamphlet form for dis
tribution. The whole matter will soon
go to Attorney General Cosson in the
hope that he may explain the whole
matter for the benefit of county Of
ficials all over the state.
The United States supreme court
held. in substance, that the Iowa
method of taxing state bank was
illegal: then the Iowa supreme court
held that the method of taxing shares
of national bank was Illegal But
the last decision was based upon the
former, and involved solely ques-
ton of discrimination. The court at
Washington held that the Iowa law
which provided for assessing shares
in state bank to the bank itself was
void because the state had no right to
pass any such law which might in
volye actual taxation of non-taxable
court said that if the Iowa law as to
assessment of shares of state bank
is void. it would be wrong to assess
shares Of national banks the same
way.
A new angle has been given the
matter by discovery that the law Of
Iowa which the federal court declared
null did not pretend to repeal any
prior law. which raises the question
as to whether or not the old law is
not still in force. And If it is still in
force then shares OF state and saw
mss UduhS HudS Ut dSScSSSu ~ lu0
individual owners now: but otherwise
there is no way at all for taxing them
until the legislature has fixed it up.
But if it is found that the old law
of Iowa is still in force and neither
court has decided that point-then the
latest decision by the Iowa court was
erroneous, because there was no dis
elimination as between the two kinds
Of bank stock in matter of assess
ment
This. then. is the tangle which the
office Of attorney general has set out
TO make straight, and until it is done
the assessors and county officials will
not know just what to do about the
present assessments. The legislature
can fix 1t for the future The whole
matter has suggested to the legisla-
ture new argument in favor of a tax
commission to make a complete in
CURRY into the Iowa assessment and
taxation system.

PASSING Of the Household.

Memphis (Tenn.) News-Scimitar:
Mary Ann is looming large in sociol-
ogy. The difficulty in keeping domes-
tic servants Is said to be the cause
of the apartment and boarding houses
of the cities being filed to oyerfowing.
Mary Ann often gets more blame
than belongs to her. Maybe this is
why she doesn't remain Mary Ann.
For her to be invested with the
important task of carrying the domes.
tic life OF the country on her should
ers is decidedly novel-and too much.
That the old-fashioned household is
passing away can not be doubted. Do
mestic life Is no longer what it used
to be; but neither is business life, in
dusGrial life, nor even social life.
Not one, but many forces are work
ing to the passing of the household
Railroads and trolley lines, the tele-
graph and telephone have begotten
restlessness, and we have become CAD
abouts. The county line has ceased
to be the limit of vision. We lead
broader, swifter, perhaps more fruit
full lives than ever could be embraced
In the narrow confines of the old
time household.
Physically. even, the home has won
derously changed. The fireplace, the
sacred shrine of the old-time home,
has been walled up and no longer
casts it's blessed glow on life. The
lamp. about which all the family gath
cred in the evening, is gone, too. The
living room-the home ROOM" az the
Dutch more appropriately cali it,
and more appropriately use it--sur-
wives only in name. The father has
his den" the mother has her own
room. the small children have the
nursery, and the half-grown boy has
the back yard and the streets.
The modern home is place to
sleep and take most Of our meals
we live elsewhere.
The children today are brought up,

Jacob NJ. Schiff, the banker and
philanthropist, declared at a meeting
in New York. that there are not
enough Jews in this country. Stats
tics show that they constitute only 2
per cent of the population, whereas
they ought to constitute per cent.
Three million Hebrews are now in ac-
tive demand. These could be sent
west to grow up with the country.
Banker Schiff says one thing that is
true, and that is that the money test
as requirement for immigrants
should be abandoned. This is good
sense. Many man without money is
a valuable addition to the nation and
many man with money is positive
detriment

SAN ERANcIsco

San Francisco has been chosen as
the location of the Worlds Fair in
1915. The selection recalls Bret
Harte's famous poem addressed TO tbe
city by the Golden Gate:
Serene, indifferent of Fate
Thou sittest at the Western Gate;
Upon thy height, SO lately won,
Still slant the banners of tho sun;
Thou seest the white seas strike tbeir
tents,
O Warder of two continents,
And scornful of the peace that flies
Thy angry winds and sullen skies.
Thou drawest all things, small Of
great,
To thee beside the Western Gate.

UP IN The MORNING.

UP IN THE MORNING.
Up in the morning and laugh it away
The care and the worry that shadow
the day.
Up in the morning and out with the
light
To do the sweet deeds Of the dream
of the night.
Up in the morning
Along the whole line;
This day singly sweetly,
This day shall be mine!'
Up in the morning with courage and
steam
To take the sweet toll in the world of
sweet dream.
Up in the morning with laughter to
share
The weight of the burden, the cloud
OF the care.
Up in the morning
Each man to his trust,
With JOY for the climbing
That leads from the dust.
Up in the morning DER doubt to pre-
vail,
To fling every banner abroad to the
gale.
Up in the morning with prayer in
the heart
Like dews of refreshment to give you
start.
Up in the morning,
All hands to the way
To sweet deeds of service
And then TO sweet play.
Up in the morning to face the old
fight,
With strength from the spiritual
peace of The night
Up in the morning and out with the
throng
To turn the great weeping of life to
a song.
Up in the morning
With heart lifted high
A smile in the spirit,
A dream In the eye!
