Burlington Hawk.Eye. There are
no dissatisfied farmers there, none
are caught by the tongue of the land
agent and the lure of cheap land way
out yonder." The farmers in that
section know when they have good

better. There have been no farm
sales thereabout this. spring. There
are no farmers from that section go

farm that is considered for sale. 1t
is one quarter section, fine farm,
with all improvements In excellent

$l65 per acre, but is not at all anx.
ious to get rid of his property. And
none Of his nelghbors would part with

REPUBLICAN ILLINOIS.

The Illinois republicans, in what
was the greatest primary election
ever held, polled $4,000 more votes
than were polled by the Illinois demo
Gratis. That is the most significant
thing the figures disclose, says the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat. The
great majority for Roosevelt can not
nominate him. The still greater ma
jority for Clark can not nominate
him. The total vote of the two par.
ties in the primary of Tuesday was
about three-fifths of their total vote
in the state at the presidential cleo
ton four years ago, the latest basis
of comparison. 1t reached the UMPIRE
cedented figure, in such polling, of
$4,000 votes. And OF these, 1856 900
were cast by republicans.
The republican party in that state
has been for SO long a time disorgan-
lied and demoralized through force
OF internal discords in state politics
that such display of party spirit as
this was unlocked for. IL shows the
Illinois republicans to be still on the
firing line, and at once raises the in

THE WRECK OF THE TITANIC

The loss of life and property in
the sinking of the Titanic is appall'
ing. Never before in the history OF
sea navigation has such a frightful
disaster occurred. The burning OF
the General Slocum off the Atlantic
coast in 1904 was more terrible in
some ways, but the loss of life in
this holocaust was only about one
half of that which attended the wreck
of the Titanic. Among the noted
people who went down with the new
"Autocrat of the Seas" were Mr.. and
Mrs. John Jacob Aston, Maj. Archi-
bald Butt, aide to President Taft;
Charles NJ. Hays, president Of the
Grand Trunk Pacific of Canada, his
wife and daughter; w. T. Stead, Ben
jamin Guggenheim, F. D. Millet, the
artist, and j. G. Widener of Philadel-
phia; Mr.. and Mrs. Isador Straus, j.
B. Thayer, vice president of the
Pennsylvania railroad; J. Bruce Is
manager, and Mrs. Harris, and Col.
Washington Roebling, builder of the
Brooklyn bridge.
Untold wealth was represented
among the passengers, there being on
board at least six men each of whose
fortunes might be reckoned in tens
of millions of dollars. A rough esti-
mate of the total wealth represented
in the first class passenger list would
reach over half billion dollars.
Put wealth and position are no
match for the elements, when re-
sistless combination overtakes a ship
such as that which came to the ii
tanic. Heroism and chivalry were
present to marked degree, and the
unknown and unsung members of the
crew deserve all rewards in this
world and in the world to come for
bravery and self-sacrifce. OF the
twenty-five hundred people aboard,
something like 800 were saved. The
rescued comprised women and chill
dren exclusively. So far as known
every man aboard the unfortunate
vessel was lost. The world will ever
look with pride upon this showing.

DR.. Horace E. Reid of Decatur, Hi.

people of Oskaloosa. He spoke to
over 500 students at the high school
and to about $50 of the students of
Penn college in the morning and in

women at the Congregational church
on the subject of Pure Womanhood".
In the evening he closed the day by

The whole system is based on an
abnormal greed for the dollar on the
one hand and the ignorance which
exists among young people regarding
the true duties and responsibilities of
life on the other. The remedy for this
evil exists in the proper education of
women and young girls in purposes of
social purity. and the doing away with
the false modesty and prudery that
has existed in the past. Our present
marriage and divorce laws should al.
so be reorganized and the law made
stricter and uniform in all of the
states. Marriage is now too easy and
should be discouraged among the
poor, those who may be deceased and
among the criminal classes. The
Sacredness of the marriage institution
and the double standard of morality
that now exists in society were both
emphasized, as both were in great
need of Improvement.

adjusting and these must come, If the

civilization brings to us. God has

or Mr.. Roosevelt. The defeat of
Senator Cullom, full of years and
honors, but whose decline could be
seen beginning on the day when he
voted to retain Mr.. Lorimer in the
senate, seems to answer the question
completely. Immediately following
his strange and unexpected action in
that case, church societies, civic bod
les, and other organizations long in
cluded among the bulwarks of his
unchanging strength, began adopting
resolutions condemning it. If he, or
any of his advisers, supposed that be-
cause the senate at Washington went
to sleep over the Eorimer case, the
Illinois republicans were likewise
nodding in forgetfulness of it, they
know better now. When a man so
we'll qualified as Lawrence Y. Sher-
man entered the field to succeed
Cullom, his candidacy raised the
question of whether Lorimerism was
stronger than republicanism in Hi
nois. Now we know that it is not.
Long ago Mr.. Lorimer was advised
to resign in Difference to the pubic
opinion seen to be raging against
him. Whether he intended to defy
that opinion, or whether he hoped to
conciliate it, there were party leaders
at Washington who blundered woe
fully in not taking early and decided
action in his case, The president
was never among them. In fact, it
is known that he desired and urged
such action as we have indicated

to be regretted that this work was
left for the Illinois republicans to do,
