CHEAP LABOR PERIL.

Many large employers of labor
would be delighted to have the
federal government, through its
treaty making power, hold down
the bars and let in the alien.
What would become of the
American farmer if the great
corporations of the country
should enter the land market,
buy all of the best lands of the
country and then cultivate them
with Monaghan, Chinese, Hindu,
Japanese and other cheap alien
labor? The rich and the pow
erful will have their fortunes
vastly increased by having all
barriers to cheap labor broken
down. They know that the
quickest and surest route Is
through the treaty making pow
er. because they only deal first
with one man, the president,
and one body, two-thirds Of the
senate. - Representative SissOn
Of Mississippi.

South African Lame Sickness.

An investigation of the South Afri,
can disease known as lamziekte. or
lame sickness. suggests that it is due
to a special plant poison that is gen
Grated under abnormal conditions In
grasses or other plants that are nor
mally harmless. Its development seems
to be associated with unusual weather
and soil experiences. of which summer
drought is important. Through such
conditions whiting would favor the for
nation of the poison, and this gives
explanation for the common belief that
the disease results from eating wilted
plants

THE INCOME TAX.

Of legislative bodies to pass laws
which are calculated to produce
classes. | think, for instance,
the proposition to assess the in
comes of men who are receiv-
ing more than $4,000 and to ex-
empt the incomes of those who
receive less is one of the worst
things that have ever happened
In this country, because 1t i'm
mediately arrays 81 per cent Of
the people against 3 per cent
| have no objection to an income
tax when and as needed. l have
nothing to say against an in
come tax as principle. But
to make 81 per cent Of the peo-
pie interested in favor Of an in
come tax which eXempts them
and which compels the 3 per
cent to pay these large sums OF
money is a very large mistake.

It's not what a brother can do
we hold dear,
But just what he Is in his
heart.
1t isn't the wonderful heights he
has scaled,
1t isn't the medals he wears,
1t isn't the fact that by many
he's hailed
With applause for the deeds

glory that shows,

heart.

Curtis.

Ammaretta .. Dixon was born in
Westchester county, N. X, March 90,
l849. Died August 10, 1913, aged "a
years, 4 months. 2l days. She was
married TO Charles Curtis Dec. %,
1l84s, who preceded her to the better
land in 1879 To ahis union two child
rem were born, Jane Elizabeth and
Smith, the latter dying when s years
old. Her early life was spent in New
York state, coming west to Orleans
township, Winneshiek county, Iowa,
with her husband in 1856, making that
her home until the fall Of 1901, when
she moved to this city. She resided
here until her death.
When she was 1S years OF age she
united with the Methodist Episcopal
church at Round Ridge, Conn. At the
time Of her death she was still loyal,
faithful member Of the church at Cresco.
Mother Curtis had lived on borrowed
time tor many days. She had been a
great sufferer for some time. The In
finite love and tenderness with which
she was surrounded undoubtedly pro-
.longed her days. She was always the
same, patient and cheerful. Her Fathers
will was supreme to her. She talked
frequently to her pastor regarding the
future life. Death was simply a change
to her. A home on earth was to be
given up and the home in heaven was
to be occupied.
The many family friends offer their
sympathy in the sorrow that must
come at the loss of a mother and friend.
The funeral services were conducted
from the house by the Rev. B. W. Soper
assisted by the Rev. John Gammons
also Rev. Skater, and Rev. Bell Of Wau
