WHERE SHALL THEY PLAY?

A big new factory is a big thing for
the town. It bring more people, adds
more families, makes more business.
There are more children in school and
about the streets. There's the rub,
shout the streets.
Where else shall the children play?
A. the city grows and the automobiles
uaultiply what are we going to do with
the children? Where shall they play?
In cities space must needs be set
aside for children to play in. This
space Is best provided in connection
with the schools, but until this can be
dome, to afford playground space near
/ home for all the children. the use Of
special lots and spaces Is being set
aside more and more for the purpose
and teachers or leaders provided. Los
Angeles, for example, has lis play
grounds In connection with the public
Gohools and employs fifteen special
t1achers to lead games and teach the
NAudren to make the most Of the vari-
,0as apparatus provided.

the students at the deaf and dumb
school at Olathe the other day. The
interpreter didn't treat Shukers as he

Of the board, when he made q speech.

prefer afterward. e
Yes. they enjoyed 1t very much,''
replied the Interpreter.
"But wish you would explain why
they frequently applauded at inoppor-

A Washington policeman found a
negro at o'clock one morning acting
rather suspiciously in the neighbor-
hood of some of the big houses on
Massachusetts, avenue.
Here. you." shouted the policeman.
"'What are you doing here?"
'Nothin'."
'Ewell, think you are. Explain now

Ed cHAssELl ROYAL COCO FELLOW.

It Is now a certainty that Ed Chas-
SELL state binder and royal good fellow
among politicians, familiarly known in
every county in the state. is going to
be candidate for the republican NOM
1nation for secretary of state. and from
all appearances his nomination will be
comparatively an easy race.
Chassell has been prominent in our
state politics for twenty years, during
which time he has continued to make
new friends each year and to lose very
very few Of the old ones which he has
had to his credit. 1t was true of him
when he was a candidate for the NOM
ination Of secretary of state years ago
when a state convention traded the
nomination away from him to Dobson.
1t was true Of him when he served in
the lower house of the Iowa legislature.
It has been true of him while he has
served with conspicuous efficiency as
state binder. and, during recent politi-
t1ng genius has been back of many
cam paign conducted under the man
agement, first of Treasurer Gilbert
son and then of Robert Fleming, he has
proved himself a loyal progressive
without exciting the enmity of poll
lticians Of the opposing faction. Chas-
sells game Of politics has always been
q fair game.
Chassell personally is a clean man.
Officially and in private business he
has been distinct success. and no
better timber has ever offered itself
than he to serve the state Of Iowa.
There have been times when many a
loyal citizen has wished and has even
suggested Chssser run for governor,
90 If he is now content to seek posi-
ton as member Of the executive council
under the title OF secretary of state,
the people OF this state should con-
slider themselves fortunate in being able
to secure the services OF such a man.

TESTING RECIPROCITY.

The Ninth district test was no test
at all. If it says anything it suggests
that the Iowa farmer is not interested
over reciprocity to the extent that some
newspapers would have US believe. It
was a light vote IN the Ninth. Hun
dreds OF republican voters stayed at
home. Even the democratic vote was
not polled. II it shows anything it
shows apathetic interest in the issue
which IL attempting to be raised.
The fact is that Iowa has not thought
out carefully the Canadian pact It is
true that the farmers are suspicious of
It, that they see no advantage for them
selves in 1t and suspect that it might
be of disadvantage. But they are
neither scared nor excited. The drums
were beaten loudly enough in the Ninth
but nobody seems to have sat up nights
unless It were the candidates. And it's
b candidates business to sit up. He
has to.
II the president shall come west and
make q personal plea for his measure,
backed by such argument as he used
In his recent speech he can probably
win . very substantial support for it
from the middle west farmers who
still seem to be in a receptive and
'considerate mood.

candidates as they do to defeat stand

The Cedar Rapids Gazette wonders
How many cities are going to toler-
ate the unsafe and insane Fourth. with
its hideous noise. it's killed or manned
boys and girls. it's idiotic discharge Of
weapons loaded with blank cartridges"
The Des Moines Register and Lead
err believes There will be congressman
from Iowa who will be ashamed to
hear their own records read to them
within the next five years, and Iowa
newspapers that will regard 1t an I'M
friendly act to republish what they
are now saying"
"Other senators, who would not for
the world say what they think about
Canadian reciprocity. are right at the
front on the Lorimer proposition" re-
marks the Nevada Representative.
IF President Taft really wants the
presidential nomination next year
there is nothing to prevent him from
getting it, insists the Parkersburg
Eclipse. HE has the machinery under
his control: all he has to do is to open
up the throttle and Frank Hitchcock's
machine will do the rest. All other
candidates are simply wasting their
energy and money in an effort to de-
feat the president"

terest, is it not because the one VINO IS
performing it fails to invest it with the
purpose and dignity it deserves!
blessed is he who has found his
work." says Carlyle. Let him ask no
other blessedness. He has work-a
purpose; he has found it, and will fol-
low it," This man does not watch the
clock while waiting for the quitting
hour each day nor does he watch the
calendar to note when the vacation
season is to arrive. Yet, to him va
cation would really mean more than to
the one who finds less Of pleasure IN
his daily tasks. Where 1T is the man
and not the, work he is doing that is
embarrassing, a vacation presents the
spectacle Of an unhappy workman
seeking to go away somewhere for the
purpose OF getting away from himself
for while. This he will hardly be
able to do. He will find the same lack
Of interest in his play that he finds IN
his work.
1t is not use for one to change his
geographical surroundings. in order
that he may find happiness. The man
who goes on a vacation outing and
finds pleasure Is the one who takes 1t
with him The more he enjoys his
fifty weeks of work the more truly will
he enjoy his two weeks Of play. If he
can not see the wholesome, sunny side
of things in the office the mill or amid
whatever surroundings he may be en-
ployed. he will not be likely to find it
in the fields or the forest Every per-
son should have a good time today
right here and just now. Toll Is a
privilege. not a punishment When
labor ceases to wear smiling face
careful investigation Of the conditions
surrounding it should be made. There
is inheritant In labor a true dignity
that Is a source OF perpetual strength
and a constant reward. Properly at
tuned to his work. no man will yearn
for a vacation. He will find Joy in his
work and a happy recompense in his
power to achieve.-Christian Science

A MONUMENTAL BLUNDER
WEBSTER City Freeman1

There is considerable snobbery and
nonsense in the erection of gorgeous
monuments to the memory Of men who
have served the people with credit in
various capacities. A monument cost
ing $4,000 would be just as appropri-
ate and just as demonstrative of the
peoples appreciation as one costing
$4,000. It is not the intrinsic value Of
the pile Of bronze or ma sorry that eni-
phasizes the love and veneration Of
people. The fact that thousands arc
willing to. contribute few cents to
defray the expense Of the work is in
itself the more enduring testimonial.

WHEAT AND RECIPROCITY.
dubuque Times-Journ,

dubuque Ttmes-Journal1
AS matter OF fact, however, we
need not look to Canada for cheaper
foodstuffs. Wholly without reference
to what our congress may do about
reciprocity, her production OF wheat
will continue to grow and her surplus
will continue to find its ultimate market
in Liverpool. This Liverpool price vii,
continue to determine the domestic
price except when the market is under
the control Of manipulators who con-
slider neither the producer nor the con-
sumner, but only their own selfish in
terests. II Canadian wheat were freely
admitted to our country manipulation
Of the market would be more difficult
and the more difficult we make it the
better for all legitimate interests. AS
another consequence Of its free adj
mission. Canadian wheat which now
goes around Robinhood's barn to reach
the mills and the export market would
be carried by our railroads to our mills
and seaboard cities. The Canadian in
terests which fear this are opposed to
reciprocity.
AS for other foodstutfs, such as beef.
pork, eggs, fruits, ETC., our imports
from Canada are not a drop in the
bucket compared to our exports to that
country. Canada is not and never will
be a corn and livestock country, while
In the production OF fruits, eggs. etc.,
our milder climate gives us the same
permanent advantage. We should take
her market while we have the chance.
THE TENTH AN ILLUSTRATION.
Rockwell City Advocated
The fact is some times complained
of that since Iowa has adopted the
biennial election system there Is more
politics than there was when cleo
tons were held each year. One cause
for this is the fact that when a man is
elected to a position If he does not
Immediately announce that he will be
a candidate for another term there are
always those ready to attempt to Gre
ate the impression that he will not be
in the race and as consequence
candidates begin to bob up, believing
that being early in the field and secur-
ing pledges will give them a prestige
over others who may contemplate
coming out. Such is the case with re-
gard to congressman from the Tenth
iowa district. 1t is safe to say that
Hon. Frank p. Woods has never intt-
mated to anyone that he will not at
nouncement that he desires to again
represent the people Of the district III
the lower house of congress. 1t is none
the less true that the intimate friends
Of the gentleman mentioned have
knowledge that he expects to be
candidate and that any talk to the
contrary Is simply for the purpose Of
boosting some one else for the position.
If the people really desire less politics
1t might be good idea to turn q deaf
ear to candidates who begin campaign
ing as soon as an election is over. In
the meantime it will be well to remem-
Der that Frank P. Woods will be
candidate for reelection and IL will
probably be found that the talked Of
opposition to him is largely In the
minds Of those who want the place
themselves.
