in card published in the Bloomfield
Republican. But that no really needy
person may suffer he offers to CON
tribute to the relief of those unable
to help themselves. His card is as
follows:
..One theft and one attempt at
burglary in less than three months
is surely enough to raise the Irish in
even an old Methodist preacher
Well. to the party who took my
wife's new dress skirt we will say
just in the quiet of the evening
please return it to the porch where
we can get it, To the burglar who
visited our bed room Friday night
between two and three o'clock, we
beg to say you surely are in need
or you wouldn't attempt to get the
few cents of pocket money that two
poor old people have; for that was
all we had, and this timely warning
will cause US to keep what little mon
ey we have in the bank and also be
more careful about locking up every
thing. Let me say to the poor, hard
up person, if you need help so badly,
and if you are not able to go out
and earn something for yourself, Just
come and convince me that you need
part of the very little | have worse
than do and I will give you a check
on the bank where / keep it. Please

A FIRE PREVENTION PROGRAM

The fire protection committee Of the
Des Moines Commercial club will
have charge of the arrangements for
observing fire protection day-Novem-
Der lin that city. An outline of the
procedures contemplated should be
of local interest as showing what
other communities propose to do.
Fire prevention pledges will be dis
tributed to all the children in all the
schools. A total of 10000 have been
printed. The children will sign them
and take them home to show to their
parents. By the terms of the pledge
they promise to be careful Of match
es and to in every way exert their
efforts to prevent fire loss. The text
of the pledge will be written on the
blackboards of every school room, too.
Pupils, young and old, will study its
meaning and in every room there Will
be a special class Of instruction in
fire prevention on that day.
At the same time the same message
will be sent direct to al the grown
ups of the city. Fire prevention cards
and circulars will be sent on that day
with the package deliveries of the re-
tail merchants. These cards will tell
Of the enormous fire waste in Iowa
and the nation; they will relate the
story OF disasters caused by careless
ness, and at the same time tell how
the people may reduce the fire waste
and prevent fires.
Among the startling facts to be set
forth will be that If all the fires il
the United States in one year were
in houses and buildings along both
sides of one street that street would
reach from Des Moines to New York
City. Also that in every other house

Uncle Sans Rosebud lottery, has been

true that we live higher than any 9th

Russell Mason of Des Moines, i,

Russell Mason of Des Moines, in
an interview in the Capital, called at
tention to the fact that biblical units
of measurement are three in number
and all show that the Hebrews OF
early times used their hands and arms
as measures. He went on to say that
the lengths of all the standard meas
urements are based upon the lengths
of several portions of the human hand
and arm. The palm is 22l inches
and is the width of the palm. The
span is eight inches, and it is the
length OF the stretch from the end
of the thumb TO the tip of the little
finger The cubit, best known of all
biblical measurements, is 181a inches,
and it represents the length Of the
arm from the point of the elbow TO
the end of the middle finger.

In commenting upon Hugh Robin

he delayed too long. In support OF
this idea it says:
If he had started earlier he could

of flight, and the peop.c. always
aroused by an attempt to break a rec.

Business in Politics
There is no Danger of Socialism in the United
States, but We Need More Cooperation.

John Hays Hammond in New York
American: The general complaint
among business men is that there is
too much playing politics." and l be-
/ lieve there is much truth in this view
Nevertheless, there are great legisla-
tive problems vitality affecting indus.
/ try to be solved. but it is unfortunate
! that the solution of these problems is
/ left too much 10 demagogues or to in.
competent legislators. The moral OF
! this is there should be more. business
men n public life.
There is undoubtedly a readjust-
ment between capital and labor TAX
ing place the world over. The proper
equilibrium that will be established
will be for the advantage of both CAPT
tai and labor.
There is much that is valid in the
complaint Of the less fortunate or less
successful against many who have ac-
cumulated great wealth. All that
Americans should expect in the race
Of life is equal opportunity, SO far as
the law can provide.
One of the best safeguards we
Americans have against socialistic
doctrines of the destructive kind is
that ability and ENTERPRISE are not
handicapped by clasg legislation or by
conditions of caste, The great bull
warks against dangerous socialism in
this country are the Roman Catholic
and Hebrew chulches and the labor
organization.

living in America, am convinced as

tie romance the husband, before be-
ing incapacitated for work had de-
voted his time for years in a vain
quest for gold in the Black Hills. The
fortune that evaded him has now
come to his wife, and the soil will
yield up its more prosaic riches for the
support OF the family. 1t is just bit
naughty for Uncle Sam to run a lot

cuLLoM ON FUTURE LIFE.

Shelby III. Cul0m, the Illinois SEN
ator, who began life in Springfield.
in 1853, as the friend Of Lincoln, has
written history of his life under the
title of Fifty Years of Public SER
vice" It is a fine record of living
and achieving and it is janmed full
lof incidents and anecdotes of public
life, many OF them clustering around
the martyred President of the civil
war era.
In brief conclusion he recounts
how his wife and all his children have
preceded him in death and then he
adds this note on the possibility OF
meeting them again.
"As think of it now, l do not
know where l obtained the strength
to survive all these sorrows. 1 have
no great fear of death except the
natural dread of the physical pain
which usually accompanies it ! GER
tainly wish beyond any words l have
power to express that l could have
greater assurance that there will De
a reuniting with those We love and
those who have loved us IN some
future world; but from my reading OF
scripture, and even admitting that
! there is hereafter, cannot find any
satisfactory evidence to warrant such
/ a belief. Could l believe that should
meet the loved ones who have gone
before I do not know but that
should look forward with pleasure to
the passing across Not having this
belief, / am quite content to stay
where am as long as l can, and,
| finally, when old Charon appears to
row me over the River Styx, l shall
be ready to CO."
i It is understood that Mr.. Cullom has
been church member all mis- life.
If so, his doubts as to future life
on the testimony of the scriptures are
somewhat remarkable. On one point
The is clearly in error-in common with
a good many people. He assumes that
idying is painful process. He speaks
of "the physical pain which usually
accompanies it." There may be cases
lin which dissolution is painful, as
where one Is burned to death or grad
Iually strangled, but such cases are
very rare AS a rule dying Is no more
painful physically than going to sleep.
Even in death from the most painful
diseases the final act of dissolution is
preceded by relief from suffering. The
, horrors OF death SO graphically de-
picted by sensational speakers do not
exist except in the imaginations of
those who describe them. They are
never witnessed in real life except
where death is from some extraneous
cause and is prolonged. as suggested
: labove. Death from natural causes
cannot be differentiated, either OBJ
; Jectively or subiectively, from passing
into what has been well denominated
it's twin brother, sleep.
There is another Misrepresentation
that 1t might be well to correct in this
connection. People look on the face
Iof the dead and remark the peaceful
, expression always present. They at
tribute this to resignation, but as a
matter of fact it is due to paralysis
} of the facial muscles in common with
those Of the rest of the body. Being
Iparalyzed the muscles relax and the
expression commonly noted is the re-
suit.

Even the musical comedies give the

George Fitch can become sarcastic
on occasion. He explains, for in.

ed or too exclusive or too stupid to
be sent to public school any long.
er, her fond parents send her to a
finishing school. These schools, he says,

schools in this country is that they
are not private enough. They are too

that Keokuk has bonded debt of

ed for. In the early days Keokuk
voted bonds to the amount of good
many hundreds OF thousands of dollars
In aid of railroads. Gradually this
Indebtedness has been cancelled until
only $4,000 is outstanding at the
present time. Every year witnesses
a decrease In the amount.
