FOR THE NEXT TEN YEARS.

There is much for intelligent con-
sideration in the facts Secretary Boil
ton of the Greater Des Moines Com
mittee punches together in the fol-
lowing paragraph:
1T is lamentable to consider that
Iowa creates more wealth than any
other state; that we create more
wealth than all the gold mines of the
world combined; that we raise one
sixth Of the oats; one-eighth of the
hogs, one-ninth of the corn, one-thir-
teenth of the cattle, one-fifteenth of
the barley and buckwheat and one
eighteenth of the winter wheat in the
United States; that we have in our
state one-seventh as many people as
live in the sixteen states west OF
Iowa, and yet we can support but 81,
600 people in our factories
With a view of making the situa
ton complete the Register and Lead
er adds to. this that there are dozens
OF Iowa factories that are more profit
able than gold mines, while every fac
tory at all well managed Is paying
large dividends. Wherefore 1t sug
guests:
Here is great field Of endeavol
for the state in the coming decade
Every county seat in Iowa shou,t
have thriving factory within tha
time and some of them should be
come factory centers, as like towns
have become in Indiana and Ohio.

gestions whereby milk and cream can

Under this heading the Nauvoo In
dependent says:
| "Keokuk is getting benefit from
the building of the dam beyond ex-
pectations from one source, and that
is in the number of people attracted
by the work Thousands of people
go there every week 1t will be an
attraction for sightseers, not only
while it is in the course of construc-
ton, but after the dam is completed
and for all time to come. 1t is an OBJ
jective point for excursions and there
it is where 1t Injuries Nauvoo, as the
excursions pass us by where formerly
many stopped here. Verify, Keokuk
is lucky"
Keokuk is fortunate in having such
an attraction, and the Independents
appreciatiye reference is valued as it
deserves. But speaking of Tuck" at
no time did that element-unless 1t
was bad luck-enter into the matter of
making the building of the great dam
possible. If Engineer Cooper or Judge
Logan or. A. E. tombstone could be
induced to relate the inner history of
the great enterprise, particularly the
repeated discouragements incident to
the task of financing it, there would
be tale unfolded that would en-
nance the public appreciation of the
value of intelligent, persistent and de-
termined effort as an element Of sue
cess. AT no stage of the proceedings,
extending over series of years, was
luck" in their favor. All the 'luck"
they encountered was bad luck. 1t
may be doubted If any great under
taking ever carried forward to sue
cess owed it's success in larger meas
ure to hard work and logged tenacity
OF purpose. Nothing came as free
will offering, nothing came about as
the result of combination of fortu-
itous circumstances, nothing lust
happened Point after point was won
by keeping everlastingly at IL in spite
of all difficulties and dis
couragements until finally the
resolute efforts of years were re-
warded as they deserved In view OF
these things the word lucky" rather
CRATES on the ears of the Informed
when used In connection with the
great enterprise that is now such an
attraction to visitors. Keokuk's luck
In the matter consisted solely in hav-
ing such citizens as C. P. Birge, John
N. Irwin, William Logan, A. e. John
stone and Others who might be named,
and in being so fortunate as to In
terest Engineer Hugh l.. Cooper in
its water power possibilities. All
else was hard work, and more hard
work, and still more hard work.

The "Uplift" press of Iowa is adj
vised by the vinton Eagle that it
should not stampede with the an

term. The facts in the case are thus
recalled by the vinton paper:
TT is the originator of that kind of
politics in Iowa. 1t Is easy to hold
party ethics if the unwritten law is
enforced, but when lot of scheming
politicians, who think more of them

Threshing returns indicate that win.
ter wheat Is yielding satisfactory re
suits, some reports claiming yields
beyond expectations. The quality OF
the grain generally is good. Short
yields continue to be heard from, the
damage being caused by the hot
weather or Hessian fly. Most Of the
poor yields are in the soft winter
wheat states. Kansas reports many
large yields of hard winter. In some
sections of Illinois and Missouri smut
infests the wheat.

compilation of results OF the years
canvass for saloon petitions in Iowa,
and finds that not to exceed 700 sa-
looms will be legally operated after

change in public sentiment in many of
the smaller cities of the state. The
reduction was brought about mainly
by the Moon law.

THE MAN FROM THE CROWD.
Men seem as alike as the leaves on

AS alike as the bees in a swarming OF

And we look at the millions that

All equally little and equally great,
And the pride of our courage is cowed.
Then fate calls for man who is larg
er than men,
And the man comes up from the
crowd.
The chasers of trifles run hither and
yon,
And the little, small days of small
things still go on,
And the world seems no better at
sunset than dawn,
And the race still increases its plenti.

And the voice OF our wailing is loud.
Then the Great Deed calls out for the
Great Man to come
And the crowd unbelieving, sits sullen
and dumb.
But the Great Deed is done, for the
Great Man is Come
Aye. the man comes up from the
crowd.
There's a dead hum of voices, all say
the same thing,
And our forefathers' songs are the
songs that we sing.
And the deeds by our fathers and
grandfathers done
Are done by the son of the son of the
son.
And our heads in contrition are bow.

he rises in view!
Make room for the man who shall
make all things new!
For the man who comes up from the
crowd
And where is the man who comes uI
from the throng,
Who does the new deed and who
sings the new song,
And who makes the old world as
world that is new?
And who is the man? 1t is You. 1t /

And our praise is exultant and proud
We are waiting for you thereto
