1.-THE BIG WAD."

Woodrow Wilson Is alarmed or pro-
fesses to be, over large campaign funds
and the mention of two million fund
has brought out a protest from him
against the ulegitimate use Of money.
Whether or not Mr.. Wilson is as much
alarmed as his utterances would indi-
cate he has done himself no harm with
the voters by his expression. More

In line with his protest as a candidate
and his denial of Ryan support, with

his sincerity.
A big campaign fund is temptation
toward dishonest politics. 1t may be
and doubtless is, possible to spend two
millions honestly enough in political
canpaiRn but nobody believes that the
great campaign funds have been ex-
pended With strict morality Big money
In hand offers opportunity to buy and
attracts those who have something to
cell. II there is in the United States a
tcampaign committee which can spend

Flaw and legal enactment the millennium
should be near at hand.
A big wad means certain things in
fodty elections; we all know and ADMIT
that. A big wAd means the same thing
IN national elections: We should know

WHAT'S WRONG WITH TEACHERS

We notice in a report of the teach
ers' examinations for Marshall county
that one third of the applicants failed
to pass for any grade certificate and
that only one or two received first
grade certificates, the balance Of them

Gates. In Hamilton county, out of for
ty-three teachers, who wrote the ex-
aminations, one received a first grade
nineteen received second, eight got
third grade, and fifteen failed. Over
one third failed to pass. This seems
to be about the way they run in the
different counties.
The question Is, what's wrong? Is
it the applicants or the examinations!
We have examined q number of lists
Of questions as sent out by the state
superintendent and they appear tc
be such that any applicant competent
to teach fair grade Of rural school
ought to be able to make a passing
grade on them. Some Of the questions
are silly and irrelevant but the most OF
them are reasonable and require but
decent knowledge Of the text book sub
jects to answer correctly.
The questions are prepared at the
state superintendent office and the
examination papers are marked there
and the certificates issue there or upor
the ncrkings Of his office. The county
superintendent has little to say i'll the
matter except to conduct the examina
ton and send in the papers.

even at q very slow speed. It doesn't
look as tho 1t had been dragged all
summer, and one of the hills IL very
stony and badly washed. The streets
Of Green Mountain are just as bad, II
not worse, than the roads, all of which
makes 1t appear that there are very
few autos owned up in that section.

north and was told that up near Bea-
man the road was probably good. "for
they drag the roads up that way" And
presume they are better, for it seems
as tho the farther one gets away from
Marshalltown the better the roads are.
II have been over the Varnum hill
road number of times this summer

When The Tribune writes itself in
support Of the candidacy Of Theodore
Roosevelt In Endorsement Of the poll
cies he advocates and Of the platform
on which he stands. 1t does not con-
tract to close its eyes to whatever Of
folly or hypocrisy there may be in the
local propaganda Of the progressives.
The Tribune asks what alliance
formed between the local progressive
Orga niaxtion and discredited elements
in the state and county republican or
ganization can result profitably to the
state or countyr
That such an alliance Is being form
ed. or is aimed at, seems beyond
doubt The motive Of the republicans
who followed the leadership Of Will
liam Lorimer is revenge on the organ
ization which threw them out. The
motive of the progressives who would
accept their aid is gain. The associa-
ton Is not hallowed.
Progressivism prays to be delivered
from such hypocrisy, from such folly,
from such lack wit conspiracy.
The right of the progressives to put
up state ticket was undeniable
Their right to put up county ticket

oughly organized They must be con-
Scious that they are striking at eff
fcient administration in the state, but
in their minds the cost may be cheap.
That sufficiently guides them. 1t does
not prove the wisdom of their course.
Their right to submit county ticket
is not denied, but the folly Of 1t is OBJ
vious Liberal opinion everywhere in
recent years has tended to demand the
divorce Of local administrative ques-
lions from national and state politics
Local administration is not now with
in the scope of the progressive move
ment. The local progressives Should be
interested in obtaining for Cook coun-
ty good government regardless of its
political color. They should advance
the cause of worthy candidates and
not put obstacles in their way.
An alliance between the progressives
and what IS worst In the republican
party merely to bring about the defeat
Of the best fitted candidates in the field
for county offices is an atrocious piece
of business.
Where the local progressives are the
most needed they are heard of the
least. What the progressive movement
1iedes, both nationally and in the
state. is legislative aid. If Roosevelt
end Johnson are elected they will need

THE PASSION FOR MONEY.

[Sioux City Journal.J
What men ought to do is to make
good. What they are trying to do is
to make money.
The cost Of living Is associated with
desire much omer intimately than
with necessity. The people who are
economical are tho people who would
rather practice economy than 60
to Jail. But they feel themselves
wronged. They lament the unequal
distribution OF wealth. They reckon
wealth in dollars. If they had more
they know how they would use more.
They would buy white shoes and a
arrower skirt. They would take a
vacation and blow themselves. They
would build a sleeping porch. They
would have a touring car that would
open peoples mouths as it went by.
They would abandon the dream OF
going to the Dickinson county lakes
and go to Europe, possibly to study
French, but more likely to study
music or to make personal inspection
Of Monte Carlo.
One thing leads to another II the
fashion is to be followed. What
makes the mare 90 is money. and 1t is
the same with the automobile, the
limited train, the steam yacht, and
every orchestra that leads the dance.
Even the millionaire, who has to give
attention to the irons in the fire, has
his perplexities over the cost Of living
Down the line his troubles are I'M
observable until some fine morning
report is brought that he has blown
out his brains.
The extreme cost Of living to very
many is in the torment Of thinking Of
what they have not, and in venturing
as far as they dare to feed the vanity
of their dreams. Men and women get
discouraged. They say it is no use;
that the world, which Is very wicked
and very grasping, is against them
and they turn tramps and something
worse. Crime Ii divided into classes
some in purple and fine linen and
some In rags and dauby paint.
The lover OF money is pretty sure to
be robbed-robbed of decent living
Of health and physical comfort, and
shove all, Of the Jewel OF personal
character. The love Of money is q
stimulatn to envy, and envy travels In
no other way than the way OF ruin.
