Autumn's Pictures.
rr -r. =


II to win the truest pleasure from
nature we must possess The art of see
ing things properly and to their very
depths. there is probably much more
TO be discerned in autumn than at any
other period. The enchantment OF
color is the most wonderful bestowal
for US to admire. A September walk
reveals little Of it: but that is only
the beginning Of the pageant. Merely
the hints Of what is yet to be are there;
but they are most interesting to note.
The transformation by the great ma
sician is in progress. but it is so subtle
that we can scarcely detect it. We see,
indeed. what has happened since last
week. or even neutrality-suspicious. alter
atoms of tree and plant-odd happen
ings of hue and form-but Of the mir
ac!e that Is passing directly under our
eyes We are unconscious.
The chief pleasure in autumn for the
nature lover is undoubtedly in the pic
lures. Turn where he may. there is a
gallery ready for his inspection. The
skies are beautiful and ever varying
the sunsets more and more wonderful,
as the season deepens. Those of Sep
TENDER have characteristic charm
which, however. is less than the scar
let, green and yellow lights Of October.
Color in fact, is the chief ingredient In
the draught OF pleasure for him who
loves the beauty of the world-the ioy
that is always within reach. At this
season OF the year, and from now on
ward until the end of November. for
the eye OF sympathy and love there is
an unceasing forest of happiness, even
in simple walk

FUTURE TARIFF TALK.
[Sioux CITY Journal.1

tSolOuS Olly Journal
Millions OF persons nave become i'm
pued with the belief that reduction in
the tariff means business distress and
nard times. With multitude OF poll
ticians this tradition has become their
stock in trade and their chief political
asset. What is going to happen to
these men when business increases un-
der the stimulus of. the Wilson tariff
law instead OF going to pieces? How
are they going to explain: What will
become of their old battle cries p
Kansas City Star.
Assuming the correctness OF its as
sumption, for which most of us will
be found stoutly pulling, the Stars
questions might be answered in differ
ent ways. 1t Is Of course, q possibility
that the republicans would drop the
tariff issue and make a desperate ef-
fort to paramount something equally
good. as the democrats used to do
when the Dingley law was on the top
wave Of popularity. Dropping one sub
ject and picking up asothe: is pri-
vilege that always inures to the chai-
lenger in political debate. It is un-
likely. however. that the republicans
will be 80 hard up for something to say
next year or three years hence that
they will have to boycott the tariff al
together. Even IL the new schedules
get by without causing any serious
disruption of business. II Is probable
the the republicans may find few
things to say that will keep the demo-
Gratis busy explaining.

COMPLAIN ABOUT YOUR ROADS.

Mr.. Beard. of the state highway
commission, invites complaints Of neg
lect 10 either drag or repair county
mission to see that county engineers
have the county roads dragged or be
removed from office. This gives the
public Its opportunity OF appeal and
the invitation should be accepted b.
every one who is not satisfied with the
condition of his road
However, there is another way in
which 10 get your road dragged. The
county has money with which to pay
for the work, but the board of super
visors is busy and so is the engineer
Let some interested person apply for
the position Of superintende dent Of
dragging Of a convenient district. The
chances are nine to one that the board
will jump at the opportunity 70 accent
his services and will pay him a per
diem. Then he can go cut and con-
tract for the road to be dragged at
the county's expense and have his own
road under his own control
The board of supervisors and the
county engineer must ses. that the
work is done for that is the law. but
the work will be done much sooner
If public spirited citizens Will volunteer
20 help. That Is what is in the minds
of the commission in suggesting that
people chip in to help the county
Out in Greene county. where one
member of the state commission lives,
the farmers help out in crawling their
roads by doing the hauling with their
own teams at $3.50 per day for ma n
and team. thus they contribute at least
half Of the work if not more as $50
is scarcely half of the net cost of man
and team to farmer. In this way en-
teri = sing farmers can have their big
hills cut down and their roads graveled
by getting up a road party in their
own neighborhood and soliciting the
county board for half the expense.
The Times-Repubiican believes in
complaining to the state commission if
the roads are not dragged and re-
paired but it also believes that volun-
teer aid to the county board will get
the same work done quicker and with
much less of unpleasantness.

the SMALL FARMERS eLDARADo.

A Marshall county farmer cleaned up
better than 800 per acre this year from
three acres of grapes, and it was dry
much better The big Western Grocer
Mills is advertising for apples to ca n
and people in Marshalltown find it very
difficult to obtain real good milk at S
of 5000 per annum per cow. 1t would
seem from such figures as these that
it were time for more people to be
making a good living upon the land.
The facts are that il is wholly un-
necessary for people to chase rainbows
clear across the continent. Buying land
in far distant places amid climate and
soil absolutely strange and generally
unknown is more OF a gamblers bust
ness than 1t rs of farming. If the same
people who have sold out in Iowa to
move away into distant states had
simply acquired small farms here they
would today be enjoying more general
prosperity than has come 10 them altho
it is true, of course, that many have
prospered anyway.
But when one hears of what this
man has done raising pop corn, what
that one has done raising a few thor
oughbred hogs. what another has done
with grapes, or with apples. or with
small dairy. or with cabbage. it seems
useless for our people to run away from
