THE MCNAMARA CASE.
Waterloo Times-Tribunel,

It Is the duty Of union men, as we'll
as all citizens. to take no sides in the
case until there are more developments
Gompers and Morrison can do no good
to organized labor by rushing to the
defense Of the men at this time. The
officers Of the American Federation OF
Labor may not believe them guilty. but
that does not clear them. If they are
guilty, organized labor should be the
first to denounce them as, 1t will be up
to organized labor to clear itself. Labor
leaders must admit that there have
been many outrages perpetrated In
various parts Of the country within the
past year or two. many bridges and
structures being built by non-union
labor having been destroyed by dyna-
mite. Some interested parties execut-
ed the crimes-tnirty OF them. Union
labor can not support this kind Of
work and live. No one knows this bet
ter than the honest union man. The
thug element must go from the ranks
Of labor as 1t must 90 from the ranks

THE MAN IN THE HoMESTRETCH.

When a man reaches so he is at the
head of the stretch. Here is where ne
turns for the straight run TO the 20
year limit Of mans years. He Is on
his last score except by reason OF great
strength. These last twenty or thirty
years look precious to him. He has
turned the corner sees the finishing
line, the way looks short and the end
of the race near. Men. like horses,
blow up in the stretch. Like auto
mobiles their weakness becomes most
apparent toward the end of the endur-
ance run.
Now a good horseman prepares his
Rnimal for the finish that he may have
speed and stay. The automobile driver
watches his car anXiously, goes over
bearings, tests tires and carburetter
and parts. He knows if the machine
isn't in good order it will never finish.
But the man in the honestretcn
doesn't care for the machine Whach
must carry him past the 10 year mark
or leave him along the roadside or back
of the distance fiag-thar is most men
do not He can't understand that ne
is on the last lap. He thinks whip and
spur or more gas and an advanced
spark ought to drive him home. He
drives harder until something breaks.
The machine is junk.
The man in the homestretch needs
more common sense and knowledge OF
his machine. He must learn to drive
slower, take more time. His racing
days are over. Sprinting belongs 10
the boys. He needs a golf stick more
than a pair Of running shoes. It's up
10 him to ride easy, nurse his mount,
watch for tire trouble and come TO the
20 year mark if ne can.

THE WAY TO BUILD CITIES.

The way to build cities IS to build
factories; the way TO build factories Is
to use home products at home.
Ii any person in any city is inter
ested more than another in growth OF
earning population the retailer is the
man most interested.
In how many cities are retailers
making special effort to boost the arti-
cles manufactured at home? In how
many cities is a concerted movement
to push home packed foodstuffs, home
made wagons, buggies and other manu-
features made by the labor which
spends its wages in town and con-
dcuted by capital which pays a city tax
levy?
1t is one thing to be friendly and
another to push. Who's pushing?
Trade at home" is a good motto and
in the interests OF the home town.
Money that goes away often loses it's
way and fails to come back But the
motto needs another clause especially
related to the retailer who is anxious to
have all trade at home" Side by
side with it, equal IN Importance and
justice belongs the remainder Of the
legend: Sell things made al home -
Selling things made at home doesn't
mean supplying them; it means selling
s-heIn, using them as leaders, pushing
the sale Of the home made article, CIV
ing it the reputation it deserves. Arti-
icle by article the home made stuff is
The equal OF the stuff made in some
other town Much Of ii is better The
trouble with it IS, first that it is not
pushed by the home retailer and sec
ond that it isn't advertised and pushed
at home by the home manufacturer.

MOORE AND HOLDEN.
TCastana Times1.


Banker Moore of Linn, made fierce
attack in the senate the other day on
Professor Holden, OF Ames. Banker
Moore found inspiration for his attack
in the proposed 365, 900 appropriation
for farmers Institutes and short course
instruction. He thought Professor
Holden was asking too much money for
his class OF educational work. Sure
$4,000 year Is an outrageous sum to
expend on the scientific and agricul-
tural advancement of the farmers Of
this state.
OF course, it is a mighty measly sum
compared to the amount the farmers
pay into the treasury of the state, but
that is what the clodhoppers are for
pay! Pay for legislators, clerks, stem
ographers, and any old thing that
needs an appropriation. But asking a
little OF his own money back for home
entertainm emit almost causes that gen.
tleman from Linn to burst blood ves-
sci and winds him up like a small boy
with an overload OF green apples.

About Cold Storage Chickens.

One Of the troubles about cold stor-
