STAYING At HoMW
TAlbia Republican,

A Monroe county man came into
The Republican OFFICE the other day
for little chat Before he left had
found out whole lot about himself
and his family. He did not know that
I found It out, and talked along al
unconscious that some Of these days
I would print something in the paper
about II. Here was the startling
statement he made to me: Il have
lived in Monroe county all my life.
was born here and have never been
outside of the county" The man ID
over forty years Of age and has never
been outside Of Monroe county.
That struck me az being mighty ODD.
The man raises the best corn in the
county, his children are well dressed
and he il happy In the possession or
a good farm, and stands way high
with all his aneighbors. can't for tho
life of me see why he doesn't hitch
up the old bay mare some day ana
go some place. Take his = .e along
and let them drive down to Abba, from
here take a train to most any old
place. At this time we would see
Keokuk and see the big dam-then
come home and have all the wonders
f~~ee
der over. There is no danger OF him
getting wander-lust, but he may be
able to find that travel will broaden
him, and will be an aid to himself
and family. I hope he goes away
within the next year and enjoys a
little outing and then come back. and
If he wants to go against all the hard
knocks OF farming It win be all right
with me. but he will flnd there are
other men who farm, and they do not
do it by the hard knocks" way either.
why say. II I were that fellow would
attend the state fair and then come
on down to Abba and attend the Mon
roe county fair. He told me he was
coming to Abba to the fair and I
hope 1t doesn't rain the day he sets
his mind to come for the next day he
may change again.

The Des Moines Capital, referring to
the birth Of the Aston baby explains
that the visit of the stork had been
expected for days" This relieves the
public mind from the impression
that the child was horn accidentally. II
thus appears that advance information
had been in the possession Of the fam

MUCH SYMPATHY AND SOME SATISFACTION

Judge Van Wagenen was seriously
injured and G. R. Whitmer, president
Of Sioux City bank, was badly hurt
in an automobile accident Thursday
evening as they were returning from
Spirit Lake. where the judge had gone
to make acceptance Of a democratic
nomination for congressman from the
Eleventh district The newspaper ac-
count says:
The motor was running thru the
little town of Wallace. 1t was making
twenty miles an hour. 1t approached a
sharp curve, the view of which was
hindered by nearby buildings. Sud-
denly another car darted around the
corner at the speed of twenty-five
miles an hour"
There Is sympathy with the injured
men. but it is modified greatly by the
utter carelessness with which they
seem to have been driving thru the
little town" at high speed, turning
sharp corners at twenty miles an hour
with small regard for what they might
find there. In this case they met an
other careless person driving needless
Iy around the corner at twenty-five
mile speed. The chances are that
neither car was within the limit
claimed. At any rate both were speed
ing thru the little town Of Wallace
in the dusk at rate that would have
been fatal to q child on it's way home
with the milk or the evening newspa-
per or to the woman running across
the road to drop . word or two with q
neighbor. In this case they met the
opposite pole Of their own battery.
The hope Is that both the injured
men will make rapid and full recovery.
that they will not suffer serious and
lasting effects from thsir unfortunate
accident: but there win be general sat
isfaction that the ears met each other

Harvest Time,

Harvest Time,
There's no time like harvest time
When grains are waving ripe.
When In the trees the pickers climb
While merry blackbirds pipe;
There's no day like q harvest day.
Where floats the harvest dust,
But mind not what the farmers say
When their machines go bust.
There's no week like harvest week,
When glorious Is the moon,
When toiling are horses sleek.
And mowers click a tune:
There's no JOY like harvest JOY
When hayracks line the pike.
And ranch hands, both man and boy.
Are out upon strike.
There's no song like harvest song,
When 1t is writ in town;
Sing out, boys, and make 1t strong
The hidden jug Is brown:
There's no toll like harvest toll.
So seize. my lads, the scythe,
While poets, on city soil.
Cheer on with verses blithe!

THE PROBLEM OF SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION

Professor Fairchild. superintendent
of public instruction in Kansas charges
the rural school with being ''the one
laggard In the American educational
procession" He pronounces the teach
ing body immature, lacking proper
training; tersm are too short; school
buildings are poor and ill-equipped;
supervision Is inadequate: high school
privileges are denied: the rural school
attendance is decreasing"
The rural school is not all 1t ought to
be. However it is not SO uutterly lost
and worthless as some school men
seem to desire to make out. 1t Is not
worthless and utterly inefficient. On
the contrary it is doing a very ex-
cellent work. is fairly well differed
and its teachers as sincere and DESTROYS
Of the advancement Of their pupils as
teaching force is immature mainly by
reason Of the lesser wage offered in the
rural schools. Supervision is made
quate and the attendance is decreas-
ing but the rural school is not to be
utterly condemned as an educational
force and advantage.
Professor Fairchild is a consolida-
ZIONIST. He says the 100000 rural
schools should be consolidated into 3d.
900. 1t is thing easy to say. On pa
per the plan of township consolidation
works out to the last decimal place; it
is easy enough to figure out plan Of
transportation for the children on pa
per. 1t Is a different matter when six
to twelve miles wagon travel per diem
in all kinds Of weather is considered,
especially for the small children.
Consolidation Of the rural schools is
certain to come. The decreasing num-
Der of school children in the country
and the demand for better educational
facilities from the country will bring
about a consolidation Of one kind or
another. 1t may be that when we have
made and are maintaining good roads
good all the year that it may extend
between township lines. In fact the
solution of the good roads problem is
the solution Of the consolidated school
problem. They belong together and
combine to advance one another.
But the country dweller is justified
in protesting against an off hand dis
posal Of his school problem without
due consideration and on small knowl-
edge Of his difficulties He Is also
justified in pointing to the city schools
as inefficient under conditions and in
pointing out that Of ESQ boys who enter
the grades eight finish with diplomas
OF graduation. He may justly ask what
balanced equipment the youth who
must or who does at any rate, leave
school for labor at 16 gets from the
city school.
The rural school problem is one
which needs both the school man and
the rural resident on the Job. The
country dweller must broaden his
horizon and the school man must learn
more Of country conditions and gain a
better understanding Of country people
1t must be worked out in collaboration
AS it will be-

A BULL MOOSE OPINION.
rTama 1araJd.1

L aIHt1 x1SEdIu.J
Nominations for county and state
officers in Iowa were fairly made at
primaries In which every voter had q
right to participate. AS a result Iowa
republicans who have enlisted under
the Roosevelt banner refuse to sever
their relations to tho republican par
ty. They will remain loyal to Iowa re-
publicanism as 1t found expression at
the primaries and they will be loyal to
the candidates named therat. They are
for Roosevelt for president not only
because they believe he fairly earned
the republican nomination and Is the
real nominee of that party for presi-
dent but because they believe him to
be the man from whom. at the present
crisis, the country has reason to ex-
pect the best administration Of govern
mental AFFAIRS. Since Theodore Roose-
welt entered the New York state leg
islature in 1ss2-thirty years ago-he
has been battling strenuously for the
rights Of the common people. The Sc
cret Of his influence in his honesty, his
integrity and his courage. That con-
f1dence is his today In a greater meas
ure than ever before and the great
mass Of the people, to whose best in
terests he has devoted his life, will
not desert him in November. The fact
that the big bosses in all parties hate
him IL to his credit. The influence and
power Of big bosses are waning in
America this year.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

Remarking that Prof. p. G. Holden
is to receive an annual salary OF So
200 as president Of the Iowa Agricul-
tural Association, recently organized In
Des Moines," and that "sipce 1t is held
that the professor involves himself IN
financial sacrifice under this engage
ment, he is permitted to add to his
revenue by filling lecture engagements
and his friends anticipate that his plat
form work will supply considerable ad-
dition to his income" the Sioux City
Journal concludes: THE arrangement
is such that confidence Is strong the
state will be able to retain the profess
sors services in the promotion Of It's
material interests"
wouldn't it be fire thing If the
most excellent points in the repubf-
can. democratic and bull moose plat
forms could be culled and incorporated
into one?" asks the Oelwein Register.
