A MucH-GovERNEp STATE

Complaint has been made that Iowa
has too many boards and commissions
in it's state government The objec-
ton is probably we'll founded. but
there may be some consolation in the
fact that Iowa has fewer such govern
ing boards than Illinois. The Ke-
vance StarsCourier gives the follow
ing list of subsidiary bodies that help
run our neighboring state:
Illinois farmers institute.
Live stock commission.
Cruelty to animals, agents to en-
force laws.
Railroad and warehouse commits
sion.
State board of arbitration.
Commissioners of labor,
Department factory inspection.
Free employment offices.
Examiner of architects.
BARRIERS examining board.
State mining board.
Inspector of mines.
Board of agriculture.
Mine fire fighting and rescue sta
ton commission.
bOaTu OIL oqudil1dlloH.
Court of claims.
State board of health.
Examiners of registered nurses.
Dental examiners.
Board of pharmacy.
Board of pardons.
Canal commissioners.
Internal Improvement commission.
Commissioners of uniform laws.
Fish commissioners.
Food standard commission.
Library extension commissioners.
Lincoln park commissioners.
State art commission
Civil service commission.
Geological commission.
State highway commission.
Voting machine commissioners.
Employers liability commission.
Illinois park commission.
Mining investigation commission.
Penitentiary commission.
Special tax commission.
Game wardens.
vicksburg monument commission.
Board Of administration.
Charities commission.
Long as the list is it is by no means
complete. 1t does not include the
boards that look after several of the
state institutions nor the boards con
cerned especially with educationa
matters. The number is sufficient t.
give rise to the suspicion that the pur
pose in view is to supply everybod.

payer is paying the freight. He al

George Fitch, who is something OF
an insurgent, confesses in the columns
of the Peoria Herald-Transcript that
he likes Taft better while he is charg-
ing up and down Massachusetts spill
ing out honest opinions in tobasco
terms than he did while the President
was sitting with hands meekly folded
In the White House and letting Broth
err Mckinley express his pious horror
of personalities in politics. Mr.. Fitch
thinks that if Taft had smiled less ana
cussed more three years ago there
would have not have been SO much
and such damaging talk concerning
Goodyear vertebra.

Editor Watterson Of the Louisville
Courier-Journal has begun fierce on
slaught upon the third term aspira
tions of Roosevelt, comparing the
colonels campaign to that of Presi
dent Grant for third term. Waiter
son calls it an assault upon the in
tegrity of the nation, and upon plat
form of revolution more drastic than
any outside of anarchism. He de-
clares that third termism means not
only life tenure but the concentration
of power in the fewest hands. and
says those who propose it for Roose-
welt are shallow takers, self-seeking
politicians in fact and traitors at
heart"

ter rightly says as to this:
1T may or may not be true. Many
a man without an education has shown
rare courage. 1t is hoped, however
that there is something In modern
education that develops this invalu

LIFE .

LIFE.
Life is too brief
Between the budding and the falling
leaf,
Between the seed time and the golden
sheaf,
For hate and spite.
We have no time for malice and for
greed;
Therefore, with love make beautiful
the deed;
Fast speeds the night.
Life is too swift
Between the blossom and the white
SHOWS drift
Between the silence and the lark's
uplift
For bitter words.
In kindness and in gentleness our
speech
Must carry messages Of hope. and
reach
The sweetest chords.
Life is too great
Between the infants and the mans
estate,
Between the clashing of earth's strife
and fate,
For petty things.
Lo! we shall yet who creep with
numbered feet
Walk glorious over heavens golden
street,
Or soar on wings!

AND EXTENDING DEVELOP
MENT WITH REGULARITY.

The development of the ore bod
les in the Nevada Wonder is pro-
ceeding with the usual regularity,
and results are as satisfactory.
AT the north drift on the 400
foot level another body of ore of
high milling grade was cut last
week. Its fun extent has not yet
been determined.
The counterbalancing apparatus
for neutralizing the weight of the
cage was originally design
ed TO go only to depth of 500
feet. Since the shaft has been
sunk to the 700 level this part of
the machinery had to be altered
to suit the changed conditions BY
splicing in more cable to allow
the cage to reach the lower levels
This job has been completed, and
In day or two the crosscut east
on the 600-foot level will be started.
It is expected that the ledge will
be cut in a short distance when
drift will be run north to reach
the ore bodies already opened up
on the upper levels. and from which
the mill is now being supplied, Most
