The WAY OF WISDOM.

The Illinois leaders Of the third party
movement have decided 10 disapproVe
and discourage placing state and coun-
~ tickets in the field against the
nomintes already made by the state
and county republican organizations
This is generally approved by the lead
ing newspapers which favor the ex-
president They point out that the
state ticket is a good one, carrying
good mems names and that 1t was the
result of awakened republican con-
science In opposition TO the bossism
which bought and sold senatorsh1ps
and that to repudiate respectable state
and local tickets would be popular self
reputation.
II is a question to be carefully con-
stdered in every state where outraged
republican sentiment proposes to ex-
press itself in condemnation OF the
manner in which Taft was nominated
and to reassert the right Of the major
tty at the polls The Roosevelt third
party movement. if 1T is to attain
Its best dignity and form the nucleus
of a progressive party as its organizers
hope it may, must remain just. 1t must
not lose its head and confuse the inno-
cent and deserving with the unjust and
the guilty. Thus the state nominees in
Iowa are on the whole as representa-
tive Of progressiveism as any the new
party could name They are all good
men. named under the very majority
rule that the Rooseveltians nall to the
mast of the new party movement as
the first principle Of it's faith.
There is wide sympathy among vot.
ers with the Roosevelt candidacy
Whatever predictions may be made
now the candidacy is for1nidably strong
and likely to grow stronger, We have
seen Colonel Roosevelt's power as {
vote eetter demonstrated. He still re
mains the most generally popular mai

CLEAN EATS"
Waterloo Courier.1


MaSor Thompson favors an ordi-
nance requiring a standard OF health
for persons employed in public eat
ing houses and for all those handling
food for public consumption. The
purpose Of such regulation would
be TO prevent the touching Of food by
people with tuberculosis, venereai -or
other diseases. Such precaution, 1t
may be seen, is quite necessary to the
health, to say nothing OF the peace
of mind Of persons obliged to take
their nourishrnent in whole or In part
over the hotel table or restaurant
counter.
And while this subject is under dis
cussion it may be appropriate to add
a few words in behalf OF general
cleanliness for the benefit of proprle-
tors of public eating houses. Filthy
tricks will queer" restaurant
more quickly and surely than poor
food. II some would realize this
there is no doubt but what they would
insist on cleaner service. Some people
will not touch a public drinking cup
and vet at some restaurants the glass
es containing drinking water with
meals are not washed from one patron
to another. 1t is easy to see how foul
disease could be comm unicated from
mouth to mouth in this way. to say
nothing of the responsiveness OF the
idea.
Common decency. after health
should be the care OF every restau-
rant keeper. Men who will do some
things which have been seen behlno
restaurant counter should be kicked
out, sox and breeches. and the manager
who does it will make hit with the
/ public.

ranks In favor Of substituting for Mr..
Hamilton. in case Of democratic sue

ere OF the party In this connection the
name Of Jerry B. Sullivan, OF Des
Moines, has been mentioned.
The gossip is based on the conten-
ton that the political situation has so
changed that the primary election
should not be regarded as binding on
the democratic members Of the legis-
lature.
On June no living democrat had the
temerity to entertain even remote no
ton that the democratic candidate for
senator would have a chance Of cleo

HENS AND AUTOMOBILES.

WEBSTER City F'reeman-Tribune.I
Faint hearted people who have
feared that the automobile craze was
going to ruin Iowa financially ought to
cheer up. The chicken and egg crop OF
the state will furnish all the money
that is expended for autos and their
up-keep. The value of the egg crop In
Hamilton county. according to the re-
turns Of the assessors. is approximate
ly $4,000 a year. The state raises an
nually more than 100000 chickens
and as Hamilton county is probably an
average county in chicken production,
the county produces approximately
100000 every year. Estimating these
chickens at so cents each-75 cents
would be nearer their real value-wc
have an annual income from this
source of $4,000, making a total for
chickens and eggs in Hamilton coun-
ty alone of 1855, 900. That sum will buy
200 $1,000 automobile and run them for
a year. Probably the average price OF
autos is not more than $1,000, as they
vary from $500 to $1,000. with the ma
| jority at or near the $1,000 mark. There
are many more of the cheaper cars
| sold. Some say that OF the cars in use
! in Iowa and probably in Hamilton
county, at least one third are Fords
| which cost from $500 to 500. accord
ing to the kind.

INVESTMENTS IN IOWA.


The Mt. Vernon Hawk Eye suggests
that too many Iowa people do not I'M
dertsand the value of investment IN
Iowa soil and Iowa industries. The
Hawk Eye thinks if there was better
understanding, more Iowa money
would find investment in Iowa.
Very true. There has never been a
safer. better investment than Iowa
soil. There is no better investment now
notwithstanding the fact that Iowa
land is high. Iowa land is going high
err 1t can be made to produce much
more. The limit has not been reached
nor will it for some time.
All Iowans need to do is to nave
faith In Iowa. They have examples
many of them-of what faith has &C
complished The men who have made
the most money with the fewest loss
es. and whose position in the world Of
business has remained the most sub
stantial, are the men who have put
their faith and their money in Iowa
investments.
In pioneer days there were faint
hearts, who feared Iowa would never
amount to anything: others paid
small price for Iowa land and went tt
work. That land. which then cost ar
insignificant sum, is now worth $3.50 tc
5000 per acre, and the products of the
soil are pouring millions of dollars an
nuaNy into the pockets of those lane
owners.
The men who invested in lowe
| twenty. fifteen. ten, Ave years ago
have made good money on their IN
vestments. The men who are investinl
today in Iowa will make money. tn
| investment is safe.
| The future increase in wealth ma.
not be so great, but there will be goot
increase. And here is the essentia
point-in Iowa there is never crol
failure. That is the basis Of permanen
| and uninterrupted prosperity.
