Great Week for Farmers.

Clinton Herald This is a great
week for the farmers Of Iowa. Small
grain never was in finer condition,
and while corn planting has been
somewhat delayed, it will go in rapid
ly now. And the soil and temperature
never was better for planting corn
than 1t is right now There has not
been an over-abundance OF rain this
spring. but the ground is amply
moist and is working up as fine as a
garden bed With warm weather and
showers which are certain to come it
will not be very long until the Iowa
farmer will be contemplating his
fields with the greatest satisfaction
If conditions continue as favorable ms
they have been Iowa will have great
harvest

Chicauo and ST. Louis

Des Moines Capital: Chicago. which
frequently lays claim to being Re
publican city, has just elected Dem.
ocratic mayor by big vote. st. Louis
has elected a Republican assembly By
an equally decisive majority.
Many causes will probably be speci
fed as being responsible for these re
suits. but to our mind there is one in
particular which is deserving OF EN-.
phasis.
Chicago is without Republican
newspaper that is, a newspaper which
breaches the doctrine of Republican.
ism all the year around and one year
after another. The Inter-Ocean car.
ries at the top of it's first page the
words 1.-The only Republican newspa-
per in Chicago" and yet it supported
Carter Harrison for mayor in the city
campaign just closed
The other Chicago papers are Re
publican in spots and upon particular
occasions. To find ringing note in
behalf of true Republican principles
would require long and tedious wait
and most painstaking search. AS a
result Chicago politics is one contin-
uous round OF chaos. Candidates are
all things to all men or any old thing
to catch votes.
How different is the situation which
we find in st. Louis. st Louis has
several good papers, but she has one
paper which never lowers the Republi.
can flag: never falters in fealty to
Republican principles. We refer to
the St Louis Globe-Democrat. When
Missouri was so densely Democratic
that moss was the party emblem, the
Globe-Democrat continued to fight and
to prophesy of victory. And one day
victory came The Democratic party
was routed throughout the state. The
margin of safety is not large, but 1t is
healthy margin.
In states, cities and communities in
which real Republication is constant
" being dinned into the minds of the
people, the voters can be depended
upon sooner or later to demonstrate
that the educational hammering has
not been in vain.

Seeing and feeling the tLorns that are

But glad of the fragrance and red
Of the rose,
Hoping for better things always. yet

Worn out and weary I may be, but
Discouraged or gloomy vhen plans
90 astrsy
TO i've on in peace with ny loved

To merit their patience and gentle

To give friend or foe 10, q reason 20
And bravely 10 bear all my little

To count II pleasure 10 labor for

But always unwilling to strike at a

Avoiding all hatred IS something that
