AIYPE OF AMERICAN.

A Chicago newspaper held a contest.
It sought for the perfect baby. All
over the city tape lines recorded
competitive measurements OF legs,
arms. chests and stomachs of protest
ing kids. A committee OF doctors sat
on the results and selected the one
child who measured nearest to perfec
ton.
Now when You strip babies or prize
fighters and measure up their physical
proportions their bank notes accounts
andt he street they live on 90 not add an
inch What counts is meat and model.
When the doctors got thru in Chicago
the We're de Veres and the Cholmond-
leys and such like were not in it. The
kid who took first money bore the name
Of Elmer O'Toole. He was peach Of
q boy. built like a watch, good looking
IN the face av him. And his name was
Elmer. after his grandfather. who en-
tered a farm in Illinois sixty years ago
and O'Toole from his other grandfather

the silarty Irish.
That's the beauty OF babies. They
grow just as perfectly in the little red
house of the section foreman as IN the
palace Of a king. And the beauty Of
this country is that it doesn't make
much difference whether he was born
on Lake Shore drive or in a fat on
South Halstead if he gets busy. One
thing the poor and the Dutch and the
Irish and the rest OF US have that no
millionaires or princes or potentares
can beat US on-our babies. O'Toole,
Campbell, HochheiTner. Larsen, Hech-
echek or Jones. everybody has an equal
chance in America or one thing at
least and that is the shape and
size and opportunity Of our babies.

THE FIVE MILL TAX.

believe. every county in the state will
find to be the case. The work Of the

II IS THE SENSE OF THE PARTY,

From the tone of the newspapers
which have in the past favored other
candidates and policies and opposed
Cummins strongly and in some in
stances bitterly opposition to a Cum
minis presidential delegation will be
ness against the senator is personal
and ineradicable. Lafe Young and the
Capital proclaim war notwithstanding
that LATE. previous to his appointment
by Carroll, was ready and anxious to
fall in line with the senior senator-if
the senator would not oppose Lafe's
senatorial ambitions. 1t was too high
priced brand Of harmony for Cum
minis and his refusal renewed the blood
feud. The Capital will oppose the Iowa
candidate for the presidency. The
Sioux City Journal will be in opposl-
ton. Its editor has his reason Neither
the one nor the other were or should
have been expected to do anything else.
But, on the other hand, there is
much manifest readiness among the
anti-Cummins press to support Iowa,s
candidate. Dave Brant's Iowa City Re-

John Arthur Jonnsln, rother day,
within the ring OF hope, you put poor
Jimmie Flynn away and spoiled our
latest hope. And yet your triumph
was sin; no virtue in It lies: in.
stead OF swatting men like Flynn,
why don't you swat the flies? You
showed how deity you can spoil 4

better for your toll, o seli.compla.
cent pug? oYu're waxing old: You
should begin 10 do some labOrs wise;
instead Of swattlng gents like Flynn.
you ought TO swat the flies. You
slammed Flynn's head and made 1t
sound much like muffled drum: you
fabored and you pranccd around and
punched him out OF plumb; you smote
his larynx and his chin, you biffed
him in the eyes; but better far than
swatting Flynn. II were 10 swat the
flies, Down where Las Vegas broods
ana means you cooked a young mans
goose; II took In thirty thousand
bones you say. as an excuse. But
there are better things that gin, for
which your bosom signs; why swat a
helpless cheese like Flynn, when you
might swat the flies? John Arthur
quit your vain career, which makes
all good men sick; cut out the Hol,
lands and the beer and buy a swat
ting stick. Brace up and spring your
golden grin, and win nobler prize
than is the scalp OF Jimmie Flynn
go forth and swat the flies!
