Chinese visitors to the minister are

SEED CORN LOOKS BAD.

He may not feel inclined to do so,
but If Professor Holden would drop
his campaign for governor for few
weeks and take the road" as he used
to, a great many persons would not
feel so dubious about the prospects for
good seed corn this year.
Now that seed corn testing has be-
come an important matter with Iowa
people, we may expect, yearly, fears az
to the outcome regarding the tests
Just as we fear dry season or wet
season. When we arc deeply interest
ed in any one thing, especially such a
thing as affects our prosperity. we are
likely to be expectant and eager and
not look altogether calmly on the out
come; our optimism fails us and we
become pessimists.
No doubt there is ason for concern
this year, az 70 seed corn. The tests
thus far made are not satisfactory
Only about one-half of what seems to
be the best corn turns out strong, while
the average of weak ears is running
about 16 per cent. And this is prize
corn test. Selected ears, shown IN
competition at the state corn show in
conjunction with the short course at
Ames in January. show that only 49.s
per cent Of samples showed sufficient
strength for seed corn; 1914 showed
weak; while "a per cent were totally
unfit, none Of the kernels terminating
In this case, average seed corn. it may
be certain. will fall far below these fig
ures. So that, if we are to have show
for better than average crop this
year, we must look carefully to ouI
seed corn testing. And it is here that
Professor Holden's work would tell
as it has told in the past.
1t is very evident that seed corn con
ditions are in worse shape than for
some time past, owing tc the drought
Of last year. II is useless to plant seed
corn the kernels Of which would not

| weakness. Our crop can only reach
strong proportions when we have the
strong and perfect seed.
The short courses to be held in the
various cities Of Iowa will do immense
good. It behooves every tiller of the
soil to take advantage OF them-.if fol
no other reason than to study seed

AN ILLUSTRATION Of PROGRESS.

The best and most recent illustration
Of the marvellous change in human
thought as applied to government is
China, Of which school boys who are
scarce. men learned as a despotic land,
where none had rights except it's rulers,
norant as poor. a country without hope.
And yesterday China, less than two
long lifetimes since the first mighty ex-
pertinent of complete self government
was instituted in America became a
republic in the orient where slavery
and despotism root strongest and where
liberty has never thrived.
The Chinese republic has hard times
ahead. At is stands it is the most des-
perate experiment yet attempted in
self government. But it is bold be-
ginning and the birth of a new order
in Asia. Men. however ignorant who
have learned of the common right of
ideal. Thru difficulties they find their
way at length to the stars. The great
est republic laid on the firmest foun-
dations by the wisest and most patri-
otto men OF history fought itself into
peace and unity.
Progress will not be stayed. Soon
Or late the barriers which attempt to
stay it are whelmed under its irresist-
able advance whether the resistance
be a Manchu dynasty in China Or the
barriers greed and self interest raise
against enlightened public sentiment IN
our own country. The day of the stand
patter draws to Its close. Listen to the
The majority Of the people
favor a republic. From the prefer
ence of the peoples hearts the will Of
heaven is discernlble."

Corsican cadet once made an opening
for himself that enabled him to shift
about kings and ancient dynastics as
if they had become pawns in game OF
his own contriving. But the chances
for boys are not in the old world what
they are in the new. II the accretion OF
millions can not be limited by income
and inheritance taxes, or other legal
enactments, it may be necessary to put
the poor office boys under bond not to
grow up with the country too ever
lastingly fast and far. Yet what they
accomplish does not come without a
long and trying apprenticeship of some
kind. Edison had been struggling a
good many years when he had the al
most stunning experience of receiving
and cashing his first $4,000 check.
The wizard of many inventions now a
part of everyday life is not one of the
sort of multimillionaires held to be
dangerous to the march Of mankind.
But the gifted American boy can be
considered apart from the subject OF
millions, and there is no better time
to go into this branch than on an an

There will be little satisfaction with
ANYTHING less than a thorough investi-
cation of the Florida scandal in the de-

any person or persons are involved but
because a department Of the United

MONEY.
ISioux City Journal.]

tSlOux city Journal
The arts Of speech are employed to
connect money with ali enterprises in
behalf OF education, in school and in
church. Men give their lives to Christ
and to the exacting task OF soliciting
donations. 1t can hardly be said that
gifts rendered in the thought of Simon
are not received. 1t is not at all easy
to draw the line, nor can 1t be main
tanned that the line is drawn az severe
ly az in the far away time Of Peter
and John. 1t is hard problem, with
roots running far into the sorcerous
love OF money. The plea is. to be sure,
that it is needful to make a business Of
rescuing the perishing, OF providing
christian education, and of keeping
open the doors OF the christian church.
With business is associated money;
ard with business is associated the
display Of equipment and tho goods
that appeal to the eye. The rivalry In
the business OF laying on OF hands is
very great, and the temptations in the
way are many.
