TIE MANGMAN,s MOOSE.

one of the most effective of NIacau-
ley's cartoons in The New York World
was printed yesterday, unoer the
title Twins" 1t consists of two ropes
each worked into a hangmans moose.
One is named Lynch Law" and the
other Recall of Judges" and both are
the same. ne World publishes two
sayings by two very eminent men in
this country warning against the rush
toward direct government by the shout
Ing crowd" Says Cardinal Gibbons:
Better venal judge here or there
than to have all the Judges on the
bench slaves who sit with their ears
TO the ground to hear the popular Will"
Says Archbishop Ireland:
IF ever independence from popular
clamor is imperiously demanded it is
when men are hidden to speak in the
name of supreme justice, regardless
ness of mind Is the prerequisite to a
decision"
There can be no question in any sane
and law-abidinG mind as to the
strength and soundness of these views
and they ought to have the effect of
making millions of men careful of the
Courts, the last bulwark against mol
rule In America
We wish that the newspapers could
see as clearly and speak as wisely
against the evil tendencies of the times
as these two prophets OF the Church.

HAVE MUCH no LEARN.

William c. Brown. president OF the
New York Central Railroad. has
brought back with him from Europe
the opinion that the farmers of the
United States have much to learn. IL
this opinion were not correct, we should
not have our agricultural colleges, our
State Departments OF Agriculture and
national Department of Agriculture.
Our farmers are willing to be taught
In an interview on his arrival in
New York, Mr.. Brown said:
In England they produce twice as
much on an acre of land as we do, and
on land that has been used for q thou
sand years and not half as fertile as
our land, Seed selection and close
study of every principle of aEricul-
ture has brought the people to that
scientific point of production. In Ger
many every child spends part of his
time In an agricultural school,"
The farmers in the nation. however,
have awakened to a realization of the
vital Importance of increasing the pro-
ductivity of their lands. Gradual i'm

BIG FIVE TEACHERS ASSN.

Teachers Will be Held at

21st and 22d.


The fourteenth annual meeting of
the Big Five Teachers Association
will be held at Postville, April 21st

ings OF the Big Five Association
have been considered the best Sec
tional meetings held in Iowa, and
the officers propose to make the
meeting this year especially helpful.
For the lecture Friday evening they
have been fortunate in securing Dr.
Chas. S. Medbury of Des Moines,
who will give his masterpiece, 1.-THE

noted speakers will be Prof. c.. p.
Colgrove of the State Teachers Col
lege, Prof. A. E. Bennett of Upper
Iowa University, Prof. E. c. Bishop
of Iowa State College, and State
superintendent A. M. Deyoe, besides
number of local educational lead
ers.
1t is recommended that directors
give Friday off without loss of pay,
to those teachers who wish to at
tend. They will be repaid in better
work done in the school room, for
their having attended. The executive
committee have used every effort to
make the meeting this year excel in
the character of program to be pre-
sented. and it is hoped that teachers
will join, by their attendance and
support in making the meeting this
year a banner meeting in every
respect.

On the first of the month Capt.

railroad, resigned his position, after
being in the service of the company
for thirty-one years. Capt. Merry
is one of Iowa's best citizens, an
old soldier, a business man and a
citizen whose life has been an open
book, and who has gained a wide
acquaintance throughout the state
among all classes of people. He has
had much to do with the development
OF the south, in which he has been es-
pecially interested, and has demon
strated leadership and capacity
such as few men have. In his re-
tirement the company loses a val
liable representative. Thousands of
friends throughout the state will
wish him long life OF ease and

NATURE AND ADVERTISING.

A HEN is not supposed to have
much common sense or tact,
yet every time she lays an egg
she cackles forth the fact.
A ROOSTER hasn't got lot of in
tellect to show, but none the
less most roosters have enough
good sense to crow.
THE MULE, the most despised of
beasts, has persistent way of
letting people know he's around
by his insistent bray.
THE BUSY LITTLE BEES they
buzz, bulls below and cows
moo, and watch dogs bark and
ganders quack and doves and
pigeons COO.
THE PEACOCK spreads his tail and
spuawks; pigs squeal and rob-
bins sing, and even serpents
know enough to hiss before
they sting.
BUT MAN, the greatest masterpiece
that Nature could devise, will
often stop and hesitate before
he'll ADVERTISE.
