The Passing Of the Wife.

NHHH. ~
We have known for some time that
the wife would have to go. We have
held off as long as possible the In
eyitable moment, but 1T might just
as well be over with at once.
The wife was a very desirable ar
ticle while she lasted. She mended
the hose and did the Homework when
necessary and sat up patiently and
waited for hubby's return. A useful
person certainly-one tt love, to hon-
or and obey.
Now thes uffragette age is upon us
and the wife is rapidly becoming ex-
tinct, say Life.
In a few more years she will be ex-
hibited in museums,
Adieu. madam! We respect your
memory!
1t sometimes happens that a woman
marries a man because she is sorry
for him. But is not that a poor way
to show her sympathy?
Lots OF people who have brains
don't know how to use them.

CHANGING ELECTION DAY.

The travelling men of the state are
making a reasonable request when they
urge that election day shall be changed
from Tuesday to Monday. There ia no
particular reason why elections should
be held on Tuesday more than any 9TH
er day except Saturday, and the travel
ers offer good ard subs tanial reasons
for the suggested change. 1t costs each
tralever or his firm one day in work
and wages if the travelling man is to
stay at home TO vote.
1t costs time and money for those
who are so situated thar they can
come home to vote. Or it costs the
traveller his vote. He can take his
choice As the statistics are given
only about % per cent OF the travelling
men In the United States vote on cleo
ton dag.
If there is good reason why the
change should not be made III both
state and national elections will some
one offer them. They do not readily
occur TO the average observer.

THE PREACHERS COAT.

At the Shenandoah conference OF
NJ ethodists Bishop Neeley found oc-
casion 10 remark upon the dress of the
c.ergymen assembled and 10 call atten-
ton toward unpreacherlike methods OF
dress. The fact seems to be that the
preachers, most OF them. had arrayed
themselves like other men in sack
coats of a variety Of quiet coiors, gray
predominating, the ordinary business
suits of ordinary mankind. The
bishop stuck for the black coats and
the parapnernaiia OF the profession and
severely criticised those who had gone
wandering after the strange gods OF
sack coats and hall peg trousers.
The bishop might have used his time
to better advantage. His criticism vii!

and expectation that the church and

reason why the preacher should "ea!

THE COUNTY FAIR


In an article cri,icising the recent

would rather see a good, old-fashioned
pun plin show with the so-called at
fractions and fxed-up horse racing cut

IF BUSINESS IhTsRFERs CUT IT OUT!


II the thing you want TO do interferes
with business. cut out the business.
According to Des Moines newspapers
business is suspended in the city hall
council are present in the city, Mayor
Hanna is on lecture tour in OHIO
where he IS educating Ohioars IN COM

the Des Moines brand Of hot air. Coun-
Gilman MacVicar IS attending an ex-

IN the meantime the city faces Judge

the court costs are not paid in forty

salaries 10 men whose business i, IS
to earn them. Des Mo.nes is presurn-
ably paying wages for every Gay the
mayor and the counc.imen are out on
their iecturing tours. attending con-
crosses ard visiting other cities. The
question is what IS the city in general
getting for the wages? And the query
will rise in the average mans mind
whether salarted man paid by the
city 20 conduct its business is different
from the man pad by a private in
d.vidual or corporation 20 transact
business for them and whether Il
boosting. advertising, individual en-
gagements, or other things interfere
with city business it is proper to cut
out the business.
The thing about the commission plan
which appeals most directly to the av-
will De Oh the JOB; thai they are paid
wages To attend to city business and
that Is the first consideration. Voters
eject managers OF departments and ex-
pect them 10 do the work they are PAID
for. L the plan IS TO square with
its promise the men must square with
their jobs. There is no more good rea-
son why man paid by the city 20

head OF a department in big store
should wander about town visiting or

employers business and the neglect Of
the department over which he is sup
posed to have charge and for which he
is responsible.

THE COOPERATIVE STORE.


A cooperative grocery store was re-
Gently started at Marshalltown by la
Dor unions The authorized capital was
10000 and the paid up capital was S.
900. It Was started In July and has
been run at q loss ever since 1t was
established, and few days ago closed
to avoid further losses. The only ex-
PLANTATION offered is lack Of patronage.
1t appears that the union labor men,
bers themselves. and even the stock
holders. only gave 1t part Of their
patronage. They exercised their rights
by trading where they thought they
could do the best and frequently they
could do better at the other groceries.
The ordinary man not in business is
too apt to think that the business
mans life is one of profits and roses,
leading up TO luxury and wealth, when
the fact Is that with exceptional cases
the life OF a business man Is con-
tinual struggle to keep his head above
the financial waters, and only few
succeed in doing so.
City markets. especially In our lar
ger cities. have proven successful be-

CANADA-THE OTHER SIDE.
THOMPSON Courier1.

Thompson Courier].
One objection to the Canadian north
west is that winter begins there the
first OF October and lasts until the
middle of May. The frost does not get
entirely out of the ground until August.
and some years there may be found
traces Of the frost all the year around.
You must depend on small grain for
your income. You can not raise much
stock. for the risk II too great II you
have a good big snow storm in Novem-
Der, you will have snow on the ground
all winter. for IT will never warm up
enough to melt it until summer comes
In that case your stock is ruined. for
no one in that region can get up
enough hay to keep a large bunch of
stock thru the winter at a profit. Re
member there are no corn stalks. no
rough feed which would go to waste
without stock to consume it. After the
middle OF August. all the farmers in
northwestern Canada set down on
their knees and pray that there Will be
no early frost. Just about one year out
OF four they will get it, and it has
about the same effect that killing
frost in August would have on the corn
belt Here you harvest your grain In
July. but up there they do not get II
seeded until June. and altho the long
days make things grow fast. the har-
vest is early II i, comes short of Sep
tember.
And you must eat and keep warm
and keep your horses all thru that
seven months of winter. You have got
to take chances on making enough IN
the short summer to carry you thru
Your hens viii lay no eggs. your cows
