A FISH STORY.
1Hnmholdt Repuhlican.1

Hum DOlOC fsepuDIlCdN.J
They say that County Clerk Stephen
son of Kossuth told good fish story
when he came down from Lake Okobo-
il last week. The L. D. NJ. r. says that
he and a party were out on the lake
fishing the other day and had a nice
string Of crappies and small fish when
they started to row across the lakes
for home. The string of fish were be-
ing towed astern Of the boat when sud
denly the owners noticed an extra
strain pulling the boat. Upon investi-
cation it was found that huge six
teen pound pickerel had become at
tached to the string in a curious man
rer 1t seemed that the big fish had
made a lunge for poor little crappie
on the end of the string and swallowed
1t, but the crappie had stuck In the
throat Of the pickerel and It could
neither be swallowed nor elected. So
there it was at the mercy Of Steve and
his gang og 1sak Waltons. 1t was bad
enough for the Ash but It was even q
greater strain on the reputation for
truth and veracitv that our genial
county clerk has heretofore borne.
Charley Wooster will have to 30 II he

CLARKE. CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.

Lieutenant Governor Clarke, candl-
date for governor Of Iowa, spoke in
Marshall county yesterday to an as
semolage Of farmers and business men
to his own great advantage and the
pleasure and approval Of his audience.
It was an excellent speech not only il
what he promulgated but in the
glimpse 1t afforded of the man him
self. Mr.. Clarke made many new
friends yesterday and strengthened the
bond between himself and those who
have long known and admired him
not less for his fine Judgment in state
and business affairs than for his COM
plete rnanliness.
Governor Cfa.kes conception OF a
greater Iowa includes the farms and
the factories and the workshops and
the farms and in the workshops from
the workingman up to the capitalist. 1t
includes the business and the homes
of all Iowa. 1t holds to the square deal
for all men Of all classes and his out
line Of needed legislation includes
humanity as well as business. He in
cludes men and morals in his uIti-
mate Of prosperity and good govern
ment.
One thing the newt governor Of Iowa
pointed out as an astonishing fact that
is that practically every law on the
statute books of Iowa which is human
itarian in its character has been placed
there within the past ten years Be
fore that time such laws were con-
spicuous only by their absence He
pleaded for more legislation which
shall affect the conditions OF all men TO
hearty sympathy.
What is true of Iowa ten years ago
was true Of all the states and is still
true Of most of the states. Iowa is in
advance of all other states in legis-
lation unless Wisconsin is to be ex-
cepted. These two stand in the van in
practical operation OF an awakened
public conscience; and George Clarke
at once hard headed, practical bust
ness man and idealist represents more
nearly the practical purposefulness Of
the popular awakening than any other
candidate for governor nominated b!
any sister state for it's highest and mos,
important office. Idealistic with iudg
ment, purposeful with poise, sturdily
progressive and exceptional in balance
and capacity, Clarke Is an Iowa op.

been but slight understanding OF the
real issue predominant in the minds

We wish to goodness the Des Moines
Capital would have its editorials
signed. Mondays paper hands out
string Of platitudes about the recent
republican convention and gives
bouquet to Gov. Carroll. All Of this
does not bother US in the least. but 1t
does keep us guessing as to whom is
entitled the credit Of the editorial and
whether it flowed from the pen Of pro-
gressive Lafe, the ST.. editor, or stand
pat Lafe the Jr. editor. or ditto Wea-

we will credit 1t to the las- named for

churches and these church people greet
country members and country attend
ance with q fine fellowship and strong
community Of church and friendly
neighborliness as obtains between
themselves. Aside from the limitation
Of the discussion to churches and
churchmen nearly one-third Of Mr..
Wallace's auditors yesterday were city
business and professional men and he
or any other would have been unable
to separate his hearers one from another
either in his audience or among the
groups that fraternized here and there,
In all the congregated mass OF people
no man could say by manner or even
by dress there goes the city man and
there the countryman."
Mr.. Wallace's plea was for higher
civilization upon the farm. In this we
shall all agree, not only for the farm
but for all this country of homes
whether they stand on the slope OF
splendid Iowa farm or sit on sixty
foot lot in the city. No civilization
can be great in this country which
does not include all our people and
bind all people together in community
Of common desires, privileges and
ideals. There is small difference be-
tween country and city people here
except the slight differences Of locality.
There is no separation OF impulses to-
ward better things in government and
morals and the common right. The
prosperity of the farms and the bust
ness streets is one prosperity. The
making of beef and the manufacture OF
machinery belong to and are part OF
the prosperity of each. Indeed there
Is no such word as each in the
lexicon of Iowa prosperity and ad-
vancement There is no such word as
both" The word is all In church,
in society, in business and in hope we
are one people. Let US keep that view.
1t is the only height to look forward
from. Let US see all Iowa and all
America in our visions for the dreams
which have come true as the centuries
passed prophesied closer relationships
between all men and the obiiteration
of class and special privilege.
The vision of q mighty Mississippi
valley whence, not only the bread and
meat OF world shall be supplied but
out Of which shall be grown the higher
tons is one which has been seen by
many men. 1t is not a new vision
In truth it is not & vision or a pro-
phecy but a promise, a pledge to the
Land which He hid of old time in the
west" to uncover in the fullnesS OF
His own time. 1t will come but it will
not be FASTENED by arbitrary classifi-
cations of men upon their avocations
and employments. II may and will be
FASTENED by the gospel OF human
brotherhood. For in the final analyses
of great events nothing has been gained
by wars between nations and castles
and classes except the recognition by
men of other men. There is no fight
between the man Of the countryside
and his brother III the city. There is
no occasion or justification Of atavistic
PRONUNCIATION Of mistaken Impression
which has practically disappeared that
the city and the country must be ar
rayed one against the other.

Taft Was Too Highly Recommended.

Mr. Taft was too highly recommend
ed for the place. If no more had been
expected Of him than was expected of
Harrison he would have caused no dis

done Ny Taft in the last six months is
as nothing compared with what he

all reason. All others must stand on
their merits and he is frank to admit
that their merits are few in number
and not noteworthy in character. But
in describing those with whom he is
associated he uses only adjectives in
the superlative degree.
Mr.. Taft was always in agreement
with Mr.. Roosevelt. Possibly this was
why Mr.. Roosevelt thought 30 well OF
his intelligence. At any rate, critics
were at first silenced and then con-

WHERE ARE THE FROGS?

Time was when any small boy could
catch dozens OF frogs around Clear
Lake in ten minutes time. Now the
man who can catch a frog is a dandy.
1t is just the season of the year when
they are in demand. The black bass are
now beginning to bite and the fisher
men think that there is nothing like
the frog to cast for bass. Since the
lake authorities put in the drainage
system all the sloughs on the north side
Of the lake. which were the breeding
places for frogs, are dried. Even at the
head of the lake, where there used to
be plenty of frogs, and where there is
now plenty of water. there are no
frogs.
