TIE REAL EXPLANATION.

Several towns in Iowa have reviewed
the work Of their census enunerators
nnd in some cases errors have been
found in favor of said towns. The
enunerators aid not get them all In a
few cases. But in no instance has
there been found any considerable err
ror. Most OF the increase, in fact,
could be accounted for by the extra
zeal Of new enumerators. It L. reported
that Iowa Falls found 200 people more
than were reported by the regular CEN
sus enumerators. And an enterpris-
ing newspaper man has figured that II
the ratio Of difference found in Iowa
Falls were to hold good thruout the
state that 1t would be found that the
state had not lost population but had,
in fac, gained.
This is sort Of hair splitting busi-
ness a. best. The natural increase in
our population the excess Of the birth
rate over the death rate, would have
given us an increase in poulation OF
something like 100000 during the de-
cade between 1900 and 1910 If we had
simply held our own. There is little
to be gained by deceiving or deludinG
ourselves with the notion that the CEN
sus enumerators did not find all the
people they should have found. We
have lost all OF our natural increase
and a part Of the original stock It 4.
altogether likely that the enumeration
CT Iowa was as accurate as 1t was IL
other states.
Let US just settle right down ~ tiri'
conclusions: II we are going to holt
and attract population to Iowa WI
must COS hape our industrial affair
as to make it profitable for them t
come here and stay here. Let US qui
counting the people we have left as ,
miser might count his hoard and g
after those we may stll lose and CON
vince them that they can make NOR
money here than they can elsewhere
Necessarily. this means that more peo
pie will have to do a little less think
ing about self and . little more abou
town In a larger and broader sense.

upon BY "city foiks' who have pros
Dered ana crave more room than che

But the prosperous city man - NOT
the only ono who will take advantages
Of Ave acre tract. The wise work.
ingfnan Win bend his energies to Sc
cure one Of these. If he SO desires
he can live on It and from it as inde-

The ordinary Iowan still connects his
dreams Of the soil with half mile long
corn rows and wide grain fields. So far
only few wise ones have realized the
profit Of truck farming-and they are
rich or getting rich. But the garden
truck man is coming, the fellow with
ten acres who lives well, dresses WELL

his little farm because he tills it inten-

There ought to be a ring Of Ave and
ten acre homes around every good
town. Ten acres isn't too much for the
rich man wherein may be set off a
100000 residence surrounded by the
landscape artists best. Ten acres is
plenty for the poor man to live on ana
thrives in independence of the factory
and without fear of the poor house.

HOW MUCH ARE THEY WnR1H2

There ought to be small opposition to
the proposal to raise the salaries of the
governor to $500 and those of the
state secretary. auditor and treasurer
and Of the superintendent Of public in
struction to $4,000. Not because it ne
cessarily follows that better salaries
will result in better men for these
elective positions. but because a man
of sufficient capacity and integrity to
deserve election to the governorship
is worth not less than $500 and that
the state Of Iowa can afford to pay
good men respectable salaries. 1t is
equally true of the other positions in
cluded with that Of the governor What
tude would expect to pay less for men
charged with mana cement of it's con-
Germs?
Certain pinheaded opponents of Sen
ator Cumrlins were wont to sheer at
him as poverty stricken. And Cum
minis grew poor and was hard up when
he was governor He had deserted the
leading and most lucrative law prac-
tice in the state to be governor Of Iowa
and advance important principles of
government. 1t was a great change
from a $4,000 income to that = the
salary Of an Iowa governor. Few men
other than he would have made the
sacrifice Of cutting their income in four
and working harder for the one-fourth
than for the larger sum.
Any man big enough to properly fill
to his own and the credit OF the state
any one Of the offices mentioned. is
worth all 1t is proposed 70 pay him and
then some. And the state is wealthy
enough to pay 1t and more There have
been officials who would be costly at a
section mans wage-but that is an
other story.

10 Focc,s ANSWER.

There is an answer to A pressing
query irMr. C. z. Wilson's regular con-
tribution published in last evenings
Times-Republican in which he de-
scribe's the farm of Mr.. Joseph Fagg,
near F1dora, and relates how that ex-
cellent farmer makes high priced land
pay.
It isn't a new answer. but the old,
hard work and sensible application Of
common scientific principles to the
1872 bushels of corn to the acre on a
thirty-acre field, despite the ravages Of
cut-worms and against the handicap
of replanting, because the soil had been
properly conserved and because he
attended to his business of corn rails
ing. He kept sixty-five head Of cattle
fat on fifty acres Of pasture because he
MANFRED the pasture land instead of
expecting it to raise grass simply be-
cause it lay outdoors and he took 1873
bushels Of oats to the acre because OF
planted good seed and cultivated 1t
when it grew.
That's the answer Hard work and
brains That's the answer to every
question which seeks the reasons for
success. And it's old as the hills and
sound as the rocks they are built upon,
It is the answer to the problem, How
shall 1 make money on 5000 an acre
land?"

[Webster City Freeman Tribune1. ).
Judge Kenyon and his friends may
traffic and trade in the offices of the
future. They may pledge themselves as
to sovernorships, lieutenant governor
ships. and even judgeships in the SUI
preme court, and the Judge may thus
secure an election to the United States
senate. but In all good conscience he
will be In the class with Lorimer-
Des Moines Capital.
Let's see, who would have the APP
pofntment Of supreme Judge In the
event Of the election OF Judge Deemer;
whom the standpatters and small mi
nority of progressives are supporting
for United States senator? Have the
friends Of Kenyon presumed to traffic
in an office that would be made vacant
by the success Of the alliance between
the standpatters and some progressives
against Kenyon? No wonder Colonel
Young complains In the same issue of
his paper that the people OF Iowa take
the Capital as a joke.
Moreover, the coloners unkind allu-
sion to Lorimer is base ingratitude.
Wasn't Lorimer "vindicated" OF the
charge of bribery and wasn't the COL
onel ''vindicated" Of the charge Of
"skiver" binding frauds?
