There is structure which
every graduate from our school
is building, young and old, rich
and poor, each one for himself.
Ii is called character, " and
every act of your lives is a stone
for this structure. If day by
day you are careful to build your
lives with pure, upright deeds,
at the end you will stand a fair
temple, honored by God and
man. But as one leak will sink
a ship, and one flaw break a
chain, so one mean, dishonorable
act or word will forever leave its
impress and work its influence
on your character. Then let the
several deeds unite to form a
day and one by one the DAYS
grow into noble years, and the
years as they slowly pass will
raise at last a beautiful edihce,
enduring forever to your praise,
and you will cherish with the
utmost tenderness the memories
of your school life. the old
school house. the familiar walks
about the place, the desk upon
which YOU wrote your name, all
lndelibly stored away in memory
never to be forgotten.

There isn't a progressive daily in iowa
favorable to a third ticket The state

urging the third party to keep out OF

getting from these papers would fall

BITES MAY CAUSE
BLOOD POISONING

Des Moines, Aug. 29.-Blood poison
ing is expected to result from bites
inflicted upon City Officer Charles
Mohr, by John Davis, when the latter
attacked the officer. Mohr attempted
to place Davis, who is bartender.
under arrest and when Davis resisted
the officer drew his revolver. 1t was
knocked from his hand by the bar
tender, however, and Mohr was bitten
fiercely. His face was covered with
blood when others came to his rescue
and there were many marks over his
body where Davis had forced his
teeth into the oficer.

It has been brought out frequently
in congressional debates that Presi-
dent Taft's economy commission has
saved the country much money
through it's recommendations for the
reorganization of government depart
ments. Yet this did not deter the
democratic house from inserting pro-
vision in the sundry civil bill reducing
the salary of the members Of this
commission and cutting the appropria-
ton for it's work. The fact that the
recent congress appropriated more
money than its predecessor, taken in
connection with the crippling Of the
economy commission and of the tariff
board, is strong proof that the demo-
cratic majority in the house was not
as much interested in economy or
efficiency as it was in making material
for the coming campaign.

TAFT Not to Blame.

Sioux City Journal: "As a result Of
Taft's leadership the party nationality
is in sore straits" says the Council
Bluffs Nonpariel. But that is. not 80.
The party is in difficulty because OF
persistent effort to destroy the unity
and effectiveness Of the party. we
have had more than ten years OF IT
here in Iowa. At the very beginning OF
the Taft administration there was plot
ting for his overthrow. At the eleventh
hour. Theodore Roosevelt appropriated
what had been done to himself He
transgressed his promise that under no
circumstances would he again accept
a nomination. Failing to receive the
republican nomination, he Withdrew
from the party and set up new party
which has no legs to stand upon ex-
cept the legs upon which Roosevelt
supports his physical being and MS
inordinate personal ambition.

Mr.. Roosevelt's, Mission.

st. Louis Times: The colonel he
says, welcomes the publicity ass ocia-
ted with the Penrcse charges. This is
not surprising. The colonel always
courted any variety of newspaper
notoriety, so long as his name was
never absent from the public prints.
Politician that he is, knowing his re.
mote chances of election, there is a
suspicion he founded the bull moose
party fer this same reason.
Nominated or not, elected or not,
veracious or not, resting under grave
charges or not, there is well-found-
ed belief that the colonel will always
be happy so long as his personal activ.
tiles are front page stuff. The colonel
is the worlds greatest press agent, and
he is absorbed in his work.

spontaneous, nationwide uprising for
Roosevelt Nothing Of the kind is ap-
parent and as the days pass there is
less and less evidence that such spon-
taneity Is to be In evidence. There
was momentary exaltation, but with
out that clearly defined purpose which
was necessary as the foundation OF
success The brief spasm has passed,
there still remains enthusiasm for
Roosevelt but it Is without organiza-
ton or continuing incentive. The zeal
has lapsed somewhat and people are
beginning to think of other things
that concern them as individuals
more than the problems Of . new
political party.
Another significant phase Of the re-
action is the loss Of aggressive action
by the new party. Events have put
it and It's leader upon the defensive.
Colonel Roosevelt Is now centering his
energies upon a series of explanations
OF his relation to Perkins, Archbold,
Standard Oil, the Harvester and the
steel trusts, Tennessee copper and
other incidents of his administration
and of the Chicago conventions. The
colonel never shows to advantage ex-
cept when making a cavalry charge
in politics. Put him behind the breast
works Of explanation, apology and
self defense and the enthusiasm OF
his followers slides down the mercur-
ial glass. Undoubtedly the colonel
will put up strenuous fight, but the
psychological moment has passed. He
cannot recover lost ground, because
dash and impetus were an essential
factor in his success,

it was two weeks ago and | think 1t
will decrease still further as the peo-
pie have opportunity to digest Roose-
velt's plans for the encouragement OF
trusts. Mr.. Perkins prominence also
is doing harm to the Roosevelt cause.
I do not know that Mr.. Perkins Is In
creasing in weight, but it is fact that
he is becoming heavier load each
day."

conclusions confederation Of reports
