~syndicaIism."

In America the specter of syndical-
ism first appeared in the Lawrence
strike. The American Syndicalists, the
Industrial Workers Of the World, who
directed the strike In Lawrence, have
been attracting more and more atten-
ton since and have been trying to
make syndicaiism a factor In American
ne. American syndicaiism should not
be regarded as an importation from
France. or course, American syndical-
lists have been more or less in contact
with French syndicalfsrs. but; the
movement has grown up on American
soil and can be traced back to the
knights Of Labor. The latter had al

The haystack hasn't any business on
q 5000 an aero farm. Its poor rela-
ton the strawstack is in the same fix.
1t ought to have shelter because 1t is
worth putting under cover. 1t be-
longs in the dry. 1t pays to house IT
and feed it. 1t doesn't pay to leave
1t out in the field to rot down. 1t
doesn't pay to burn it as we used to
do when land was worth ten dollars an
acre. In the long run it doesn't pay
to bale it at the stack even If the price
is good. In the end 1t comes to soil
robbing and to commercial fertilizer.
Over in the Rock River valley OF
Illinois is one of the fine farming sec
lions of the United States. 1t isn't
as good today as central Iowa nor are
it's farms selling equally we'll with our
farms. 1t isn't as good land now.
Those people believed the soil mex
haustible. They sold hay and straw
and cornstalks of it for years. They
were a generation ahead OF US and
their land is a generation worse on
than ours will be II we heed the
lesson of the example.
A haystack Is an antiquity. 1t is a
loss. Aggregated from all over Iowa it
Is a great wasre.

The president will not come to the

miss a mighty fine show.
The apparent anxiety of the Des
Moines Tribune to see the third party
movement 'involve every office seeker
in Iowa" does not march With the

to Roosevelt's candidacy.
The Rosenthal case is only another
instance of going the limit to preserve
a special privilege.
President Taft's assumption that
everyone who can't stomach the Chi
cago convention is a socialist ought 10

Well President Taft accepted the
nomination and any fears that ne
would refuse have been dissipated.

Congress can adjourn if it cares to.
From now on until November the base

Nevertheless the farmers Of Iowa
will continue to look toward -Anles and

cultural instruction.

A WASTE AND AN ANTIQUITY,

A hayStack has no more business on
n $3.50 to 5000 an acre farm than a
longhorn Texas steer or a prairie
1t is directly opposed to economy and
efficiency in business which calls for
economy and efficiency in operation
quite as loudly as does the packing
business where nothing but the squeal
of pig gets away. The hay belongs
within doors and under cover as much
as the hogs, the horses, the mich cows
and the feeding steers. Because
none Of them can stay out in the
weather and the snow and rain withou;
cost to the man who owns them
The agricultural department records
show that the farm value of hay in
1911 was s14.64 per ton. That is, good
hay was worth that on the farm where
it was cut and cured. 1t was worth
more last year than In previous years
but it was worth 1925 the year be-
fore and $10.62 the year before that
1898, to all practical purposes 50.
The man who stacks hay must lose
part Of it. How much depends largely
upon the skill of the stacker and the
weather 1t must endure; but it is per
haps not too high an estimate to as
sumo that he loses 10 per cent Of the
value of bright, good hay. II so hi

The Modern spin.t.r.

IaDeECeen, >. H.,G NeWS1
1t is deemed a mark Of wit, inisome
quarters. to sneer at the bachelor or
the spinster. and point to them with
scorn, but there is abundant evidence
to prove that the average bachelor and
the average spinster are quite as useful
to humanity. in their way, as their mar
ried brothers or sisters. 1t all depends,
with the bachelors as with the benedict.
upon the man. as 1t all depends with
the spinster and her married sister,
upon the woman. The "old maid of
an earlier day-who figured oftener in
fiction, anyway. than she did in real
life the one with a cat and q parrot
and a gossipy tongue and spiteful
disposition-has disappeared in these
modern days. The modern spinster is
as busy and as usefully occupied as the
mother Of dozen children-if there
really are any women any more who
mother a flock Of twelve. The spinster
OF today reads the latest books and
magazines. She belongs to from one to
a half dozen women's clubs. She Is
active in all good works. II she is
rich, like Miss Gould. she spends a
large portion of her income in financial
assistance to Institutions calculated to
advance mankind. and especially wo-
mankind, in the scale Of civilization.
II she has to wor kfor living she does

BLEcT1NG PosTMAsTERs.


One Of the recommendations of the
late progressive convention OF Iowa
was that postmasters be elected by the
constituencies served but be subject to
removal by the. postofIce department.
The recommendation appeared to be
very popular in the convention and 1t
has received considerable notice else
where. Some Of this notice, however,
has not been favorable, and the Chi
caso Record Herald, Burlington Hawk
Eye and Cedar Rapids Republican are
all noted as criticising the proposition
and as regarding It as subversive OF
the best public service.
The critics appear to US to overlook
the second clause Of the recommends
ton, which was that the postmasters,
after being elected by the people, be
subject to removal by the department.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

The Upper Des Moines-Repu blican
feels that no republican is bound to
support Taft for president on account
OF mis- nomination at Chicago being
made by the bosses and in opposition
to the plainly expressed will of the
people. If the national committee is
going TO make TIE nominations with
out regard for the wishes of the rank
and file Of the party, the voters are
aosolved from obligations so far as
the head of the ticket is concerned.
On the other hand the nominations
for state and county officers in Iowa
were made fairly at the June pr!mar-
les and they should De supported to a
man. There should be the same COM
mon honesty in politics as is recog-
nized in every day business.
Roosevelt is not the man to back
up when he starts in what he believes
the right direction" says the Iowa
Falls Sentinel. People who believe he
will not carry thru his third party
ideas do not do the man justice. He Is
the only leader Of national prominence
VINO has the courage to take such lead
ership.'
"Who is responsible on the republic
can side?" asws the Marion Register.
The party was united when Taft was
.naugurated. In two years the country
went democratic. They say Roosevelt
but Roosevelt was thousands Of miles
away-in the jungles Of the dark con-
| tinent Not a word reached him. Not a
word was received from him. 'Respon-
sibIe' Nonsense. Taft was RESPONSE
BILE"
1.-The republicans OF Iowa nominated
a splendid state ticket at the primary
in June, and in this county a county
ticket was named that is hard to beat,
argues the Spencer Reporter. while
republicans have their differences on
the presidential matters, and many
progressive republicans will not vote
for Taft. they are going to support
| the state and county tickets"
| Judging from Iowa. and this section
! Of Iowa, either Roosevelt or Wilson
will carry nearly all Of the hitherto re-
publican states Of the north" boldly
predicts the Rockwell Photograph.

FARMING.
Waterloo Times Tribune.1

dlSIIOO IIiieS- IIlOOHS.J
Take thresi1ing for instance. It was
once the thing to have a horsepower
with ten or twelve horses. presided
over by man with a big whip. who
kept the mill going by touching up the
horses. Many a country boy was as d.
vided in his opinion as to whether he
would rather be the driver OF a horse
power. the feeder, or circus clown.
There was man to toss the sheaves
to the tabler; the tabler placed the
sheaves head foremost in front Of the
band cutter. The band cutter slashed
the ole double bands" and the feeder
fed the straw to the cylinder which
beat the grain out Of the husks. How
many farmers these days, can make a
double band ?" Then there were usual
1y three men to stack the straw, and
one man with a boy assistant to meas
ure the grain. There was a general
utility man who oiled the machine and
who sometimes stood on top Of the
separator and looked wise. There were
haulers, pitchers. measurers and what
not. Threshing was, in some way. a
kind Of social function. where men met
to exchange political views.
Then there were the women, toiling
and moiling. cooking, baking, stewing,
brewing; for threshers were proverb-
tally hungry. Every fellow drank from
his saucer in those days. and used his
elbow as fuicrur, with his arm as a
lever. when conveying the amber fluid
to his eater: tho you were blind and
partially deaf, you could usually tell
when soup and coffee were on the bill
Of fare
Nowadays the thresher is run by a
gasolene engine; the bands are cut by
machinery, the grain is measured by an
automatic continuance, and even the
straw is stacked without more than one
pitchfork to help shape things. And
the machines are not 50 noisy, they
thresh more completely. clean the grain
better. and there are no longer the
haste. worry, tired women and general
ly tornup condition Of affairs The
owner pays by q check on the local
bank: the threshing man pulls up
stakes, bitches his engine on In front
ana goes to the next place in grand
procession. Some farmers own ma
chimes In common and thresh when
they get ready.
Farming has grown into skilled
| business instead af vocation OF plod-
ding drudsery. And no right minded
person will sigh for the good old days
