KENNEprs REASONS.

Professor Kennedy, animal husband
rist at Ames College rounded up what
seems to be a pretty widespread con-
cIusion when speaking of Professor
Holden's candidacy he said:
"Mr Holden has a great many good
qualities. He Is a remarkable man IN
many respects, but he is not business
man. He Is not the man for governor.
The majority Of the people in Ames
who know Holden. Ike him. but the
majority Of the people IN Anes would
not vote for him for governor"
This fairly states the position Of
Holden. Nobody has anything against
the man, but a great many agree with
Professor Kennedy that he Is not the
man for governor Of the state. There is
the difference between the sturdy and
competent business man and the pro-
nnoter to consider. Professor Holden
scarcely represents sufficient solidity
and executive Judgment to please the
average 1owan

Professor Kennedy's reasons are the
general reasons why many Of those
who like Holden and wish him well
refuse to vote for him. They are suf-
ncient reasons. Professor Holden does
not appear to measure up to the office
he seeks.

FROM OHIO.

Early returns appear to indicate that
the president has been defeated in his
own state. Manager Dixon Is claiming
the state by . lead Of fifty thousand
and the counter claims appearing are
weak and indicative Of lost hope. Here
then 10 presented the spectacle OF three
candidates for the presidency. the throe
most likely to land the nomination
among them. who have not carried
their own states Roosevelt in New
York, Taft in Ohio and Cumnins in
Iowa. LaFollette carried Wisconsin
with whoop but his victory seems to
have brought him little beyond the del
egates. Perhaps the value Of the
united support Of the home state of a
candidate has been overestimated.
It is. however. u great loss TO Taft II
he has been dectsively defeated in his
own state. He needed 1t. 1t followed
the stern refusal Of Illinois and Penn
sylvanta and the victory in Massa-
chusstts which was more disaster than
gain. It came following California and
North Dakota and the denial OF the
pres1denss demand from the core and
center OF enthusiastic repu blicanisrn.
II he has been defeated In Ohio it is
at the end Of campaign in which
every argument in his favor has been
urged. where every pressure has been
applied and where tho topic OF state
pride has been dwelt upon to the limit.
The general conclusion that 1t was up
to Ohio to keep the president in the
game or to put him out OF it made it
imperative upon Taft TO hold Ohio
accent1laees the loss to Taft. 1t
IL not as tho he had other powerful
republican states behind him. The loss
Of Ohio must put the president in the
attitude Of coming to a convention
backed by his own officeholding bene-
nctaries in the north and by a greedy
horde Of southern delegates whose
states arc always solidly arraved
against the republican party at cleo
tion time and whose largest political
incentive IL = federal appointment.
The chances are that Ohio put Taft
on the shelf and Roosevelt in nomin-
stion yesterday.

EVERY MANS CONTEST.
George D. Perkins in Sioux Cit
Lou

George D. Perkins in Sioux CITY
Journal
Every man has contest with him
self He is disposed to avoid trouble
He is disposed to look for some other
and easier way. He is inclined to fol-
low other men as they appear to him,
and TO Shift responsibility. He wants
the benefits of a good life without
the struggle Of it. But he can never
get far in betterment under surrender
to the goes Of weakness. What he has
need to do is to be true to himself
to the better side of himself. If he
cannot serve himself in this larger
and truer sense. he can not serve the
Lord. Mistake Is made in regarding
the Lord as some kind Of a foreign
missionary, or as some kind of an ar
bitrary potentate. Why should men
fear the Lord? They should fear the
Lord because they have such good
reason To fear themselves. They
should fear the Lord because they
have such good reasons to fear the
evil that is present with them as q
tempstef. and which they are called
upon in service to themselves to re-
1ect. All reward of which men know
in the compensation OF the steadfast-
ness in well doing: and the lesson OF
it is repeated over and over again in
all affairs Of life.
Il is important to know that service
Of the Lord is nothing aside from SER
vice of ones self IN the higher sense.
and that from such service comes all
the larger opportunity to be of ser
vice to ones fellow BEINGS. Out, OF
| such service has come all the upli1t
of time, and in such service Is all the
hope Of better things to come
The fear of the Lord, the persona
icatiors of love and truth is the fear
Of evil in ones personal Me ana OF lts
bitter penalties in the world.
Now therefore fear the Lord, and
serve him in sincerity and in truth;
and put away the gods which your
father, served on the other side Of the
Hood, and in Egypt; and serve We the
Lord"

There would be no obvious connection
between the price Of oats and the king
OF terror except for the fact that in be-
ginning our last pilgrimage It is usual
to ride as far as the cemetery. For this
link in the journey the Boston livery
men threaten to increase the fare. OF
course, 1t is only a few gasps from the
high price OF living to the increased cost
of dying. but those who looked upon Mir
vana as a happy escape hardly expected
the Stable Keepers Association to take
the initiative IN defeating the welcome
release. They have added a pang to arti-
culo mortis-if we may drop into the
easy Boston vernacular-by declaring
that the expense of maintaining business
has increased 10 per cent. and they are
forced to recoup themselves on the
funeral procession.
1t has accordingly been declared that
certain zones shall be established with
the cemeteries as the central point and
that the charges for carriage hire shall
be regulated according to the distance
to the burial ground of which the corpse
may make choice. The unfortunate who
