KEEP YOUR EYE on THE BALL.

Representative Moore, OF Linn, made
some very serious charges against
Professor Holden, the agricultural ex-
pert. in a speech to the legislature yes
terday, charges which the professors
friends and admirers will desire to see
disproven or substantiated.
1t is a very serious statement when
the assertion is made that the profess
sor is urging appropriations upon the
legislature in order to promote his own
interests and that special interests are
seeking "a grab" under his supervision.
Mr.. Moore denounced Professor Holden
as a thorough dsorganizer and une
disciplined" as unworthy to work for
the state" as having "prostituted his
connections in Iowa to advertise lands
in another state" Other members of
the house disagreed with Mr.. Moore
and Dawson, Of Cherokee, expressed
himself as personally insulted" over
"the TRADE against Professor Holden"
The outbreak makes evident to all
that which has been long evident to
many that there has been too much
lobbying of one kind and another and
that lobbying for special appropriations
before the legislature is a mistake on
the part of members Of college facul-
ties and holders of special professor
ships.
Whatever may be the truth as to
Professor Holden, Mr. Moore was much
outside the facts when he said: 'Short
courses are no good. You can not get
a college agricultural education at a
carnival" While no one expects to
acquire college education in a ten
day course. the short course has been
a great educator, is so accepted by all
and will continue to exert an especially
valuable influence on agricultural COM
munities. The Times-Republican was
opposed to the proposed 100000 appro-
is opposed to the principle Of getting
out of the state treasury funds which
of right should be raised by those
most interested and directly benefited
by their USE On the contrary the short
course Is "all to the good" as opposed
to Mr.. Moore's conception Of it's use
lessness, and worth the money to every
community which finances it.
In this new complication of general
agricultural education and college ex-
tension the main thing, the value and
necessity Of such teaching to the in
terests it serves and aids, is not to be
lost sight of. 1t is the main thing.
The Kennedy case and the Holden
trouble are merely incidental happen
ings. Keep your eye on the ball!

WHEN BABIES s1ARvE At THE BREAST

suppose that out Of NIarshalItown's
population sixty were dying daily of
starvation; that babies were starving
at the lean breasts Of mothers who
watched in utter helplessness to see
them die; that groups Of unclad chill
dren stood glazing into shop windows
at food they could not obtain; that
men and women crept about like liv-
ing skeletons searching the garbage
heaps for a forgotten scrap with
which life might be prolonged another
day. Imagine If any Iowa Imagination
can, Marshalltown pinched in the
clutch of actual famine, burying each
day sixty Of its population who had
starved to death.
Full fed, prosperous and happy, such
condition is practically unimagine-
able in Marshalltown; but it exists in
China. 1t is actual there. In cities
comparative in sive with our sixty

other subjects, no matter how import
ant. What is even Of more serious
concern is that such a course of pro-
ceeding might endanger the very object
which the extra session is invited to
consider.
A policy Of directness and candor in
dealing with the reciprocity agreement
would benefit the democratic party
more than a policy of insincerity and
indirection possibly could. Whether It
will follow the suggestions OF common
sense remains to be seen. There can
be no doubt. however, that the country
as whole expects the agreement to be
treated fairly and on its own merits
and approved at this session by vote
in which no sort OF narrow partisan
consideration will be allowed to figure

Mrs. Scott. Family.

Oklahoma is about. to acquire a
remarkable family. Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Scott Of Highland, Kan, are
seeking a location for a home some
where in the state where they can
obtain plenty of land. They will
need it, for they have been married
not quite ten years, and are the pa
rents Of nineteen children, all Of them
boys and thirteen of them living.
They hold the record on triplets. hav-
ing five sets to their credit, and two
sets Of twins. All of the thirteen
boys living are under five years old,
Mr.. and Mrs. Scott are the children
Of farmers living near Highland.
Last fall the Scots decided that
they must find more land, went TO
Alberta, Can. They were not salts
fed there and returned. On the re-
turn trip all records In the history of
railroading were broken. Mrs. Scott
and the thirteen boys all rode on one
first class passenger ticket. AT Omaha
the conductor made q vigorous pros
test e,.-,s,.., 49,.
Madam, you can not carry whole
Sunday school along with you on that
one ticket, and you need not tell me
these are all yours. You will have
to pay fare for some Of them"
"The rules Of this railroad COM
pany provide that a child under .
years Of age may ride free when ac-
companied by its parents with a first
class ticket, don't they?" retorted
Mrs. Scott.
They do, but you will have to show
me-
Then Mrs. Scott dug down into her
valise and brought out the family
bible in which was recorded the
names and ages of each of the chill
dren. The conductor had to give in.
The mother and children occupied
five double seats in the homeseekers'
car and paid for only one.
The names and ages Of the Scott
children begin with A. They are:

cleared for prompt enactment OF the
reciprocity agreement. It may be,
however, that the temptation to play
politics" will overcome their inclina-
tion to take up first and finish first the
business for which congress has been
reassembled out Of season. Partisan-
ship Is blind, and members OF congress
TOO often lose sight Of the larger adj
vantage while trying to score some

No Clue Found of Thief
Who RansaCked Flat

The police today failed to get any
clue to the identity of the thief who
stole jewelry and other articles valued
at $50 from the apartment of Earl
Whitley, $50 Fourteenth street north
west.
Mrs J. \. Davis, of 1910 Euclid street
northwest, was puassing the apartment
about o'clock last night ami saw the
thief at work. She supposed the man
was the occupant of the fiat until she
saw him put out the light and start
away with the plunder
She rushed to the corner where she
found A policeman, and told him what
she had seen through the window. He
hurried to the apartment, but in the
meantime the thief had made his es-
cape Entrance had been effected by
breaking the lock on the door. When
WiIfey returned home later in the even
ing, he gave the police list of the
stolen articles, which, he said, were
worth about $50.
