THE INDIVIDUAL.
[sfoux CITY Journal.l

The beginning of all hetterment Is
with the individual. The problem Of
salvation is personal, and each one for
himself, under the revelation open to
him, must work out that problem for
himself. II ne shall seek help he may
find it, but without his seeking there
is no help for him. He must ask in or
der to receive: and without his asking
there is no power to save him. He can
not be saved by community, by any law
written by the hand Of man, nor by the
power that comath down from above.
To be dependent upon the world is
foolishness. for X is divinely ordered
that men must be dependent upon
them selves. under the guidance of the
spirit.
The children Of men everywhere seek
to escape from trouble. They proceed
blindly and they are forward of mouth
m explaining failure. They complain
uselessly and in ignorance They may
say they have studied conditions: and
what they have done is to look away
from themselves. They have sought
with passionate desire to lay their
burdens at some other door. They have
considered the faults Of others, and
their own faults they have not
weighed No amount Of wealth can buy
peace of mind No amount OF wealth
can drive trouble from any mans
threshold. Nor can any man escape his
troubles by running away. He must
meet them. live with them, and strive
to the utmost of his strength to make
the best of his situation. An empty
pocket is as nothing compared to an
empty heart. No man need look far for
the proof. The palace may contain
more guests of misery than any howell.
Integrity Of. mind is the surest safe
guard against trouble. This is not say
ing escape can be made: but It Is say
ing that "a conscience void Of offense
toward God. and toward men," is su-
preme help in every time of trouble.

the inevitable. II anxious to save his
face as much a. he may. Chairman
Clayton Of the committee in this case
has ordered proceedings discontinued
and the subcommittee on the ground
in the state Of Washington has agreed
that proceedings should stop. Chair
man Clayton explains that:
The main object of impeachment
being to get rid Of an unfaithful OFF,
Ger. having been accomplished in this
case by the resignation Of Judge Han
ford, If It is true that he was unfaith-
full, there seems to be no necessity for
1mpeaching him in order to disqualify
him from hereafter holding any office
of honor or profit under the United
States. take it that no president will
ever appoint him, and no constituency
would ever elect him to any office of
honor or profit. OF course, there Will
be no formal action on the part Of the
committee on the judiciary until a re-
port is made by the subcommittee
which I appointed to investigate the
alleged misconduct Of Judge Hanford."
Chairman Clayton and the commit
tea like Hanford, is taking the easy
way out Of 1t. C1aytons own saving
faithful" suggests the possibility that
he may not have been unfit to wear the
er7nine Of a federal judge. It was to
leave this possibility Of doubt upon the
record that Hanford resigned when he
found that the goods had been found
on him and that salt couldn't save him.
Hanford should not be permitted to get
away with a verdict Of not proven.
Either he is guilty or not and the COM
mittee, which has already in it's hands
evidence upon which 1t dare not do less
than remove him, should not agree to
a compromise which reacts upon itself
Contrary to Chairman Clayton's
statement the main thing in this inves-
tfgation was not to get rid Of an I'M
faithful officer. 1t was to inquire into
the case Of a federal Judge charged with
serious offenses against the ermine.
It IL well to take into consideration the
fact that the people as whole are in
c1ined to distrust the federal judiciary,
and that charges against members OF
that body should be carried to a def
mite conclusion to the satisfaction OF
the public and the welfare Of honest
and capable judges. If Hanford had
pleaded guilty the case would have
been different. He simply resigned TO
escape a verdict. And his resignation
should not be accepted.
The open way is the best way. AS
it is many will wonder who and how
many were involved in the testimony,
whether Hanford would not have
"squealed" if the case had gone to its
conclusion and wEo, besides Hanford,
was being taken care Of when he hand
ed in his resignation to have it accept
ed and the proceedings cease.

If Taft republicans lay claim to any
virtue it is party regularity. and there
is absolutely no justifiable reason for
their boiling. They are satisfied with
Taft and the Chicago convention. Why
should they bolt? They make no claim
that the nom inees for state, district,
and county offices in Iowa we're unfair
~ or dishonesty nominated or that any
of them are unfit. Why should they
bolt? They had their way at Cedar
Rapids and Chicago and booted out
Senator Cumm!ns and his friends Why
should they bolt?
There is just one reason and one
reason only why Taft republicans are
threatening to bolt and that reason is
revenge. They propose that republi-
cans who can not conscientiously sup
Fort Taft should do 1t any way and in
the event that they do not. they intend
to kill every innocent bystander who
happens to be within range Of the eye.

venge is mighty poor platform upon
which to stand from now until No

stand fire. If 1t has any success it
must be by the dog in the manger''
policy.

A GOOD JOB EARLY.

The average graduate from good
college would be delighted to know
that a position paying $1,000 a year
awaited him upon graduation. In fact
a great many pretty good men fairly
educated wait and work a long time to
he able to command such salaries.
This gives the positions attained by
the young men who have been lately
graduated from the Iowa agricultural
school distinct place. The report is
that the men who have contracts are
being paid from $1,000 to $500 year.
Professor Curtis is authority for the
statement that many men refused po-
sitions carrying $1,000 to $500 be-
cause they saw better returns in prac-
teal farming for themselves.
This is a distinctive showing which
should attract immediate attention
from boys and young men who are
cnunseling with themselves as to their
future. Farming is good business Of
itself. The young man who sees his
way clear to a farm OF his own or
who can go back to the home farm as
manager and operator has his field Of
success wide open before him, after he
has become educationally fitted for the
management Of 5000 an acre land. If
he fails the cause is within himself.
The young man without capital who
can step into a managers job at from
1920 to $1,000 year rides horseback
on opportunity. That start, supple
mented with industry and brains, will
take q young man anywhere.
It Is gratifying that so many Of the
Iowa graduates go back to the farm
to become farmers in their own right.
Half the asronomy class went to the
farms direct Half Of them to high
schools. The other courses, horticulture,
forestry. dairying, have placed their
men every one.
The best thing in the world for d
young man IL to know how to do some
thing well and have the opportunity
to do It The Iowa agricultural and
engineering school seems to fill the en-
