materially in this whole decade.
But if eighty cents year per cap
ita-the maximum claimed saving to
the country by free sugar, which is TO
be Offset by loss In revenue of s52,-
100000 per annum at least--can and
must be saved, at least the folk in
Louisiana should be given genuine
chance for readjustment, and a gem
uine chance to go into other things.
What President Wilson proposes
does no such thing as that
The same paper takes up the treat
ment of the tariff question. 1t gives
to William HsTaft's plan it's sanction.
Here is what it says:
There is one last thought mot to

remember in future presidential and
congressional campaigns: There is
coming home now TO you, to us, the
penalty for long years of political
treatment of an economic question.
There should be--there must be-
devised BY this nation some sane and
practical way in which tariff schedules
are to be framed which will not
punish whole regions, wreck indus
tries, and set the business of nation
/ In turmoil with recurrent political
wrangles. There should be-there
must be-set up some expert tribunal
as far above political considerations
and as safe from faint OF corruption
as the supreme court or the inter
state commerce commission, with row.

sounding a note Of warning which the

1t is speaking Of the destruction which
will come to a great industry. Three

men of pronounced abilities should
sacrifice of their time TO serve the
state. For instance, it is commonly
known that in Linn county are men
ranking high in the business and pro-
fessional world who steadily refuse
to accept party nominations for the
legislature; alleging they cannot az
ford 1t. This is not said as reflec-
ton upon the men who now represent
the county at Des Moines; but 1t is
said because men of the best abilities
should accept service Of the state. To
re-assert that Iowa legislatures run in
narrow grooves Is to re-assert the
exact truth. It Is common knowledge
throughout the states, other than Iowa
that almost anybody can go to the
Legislature. II, then, better talent
can be induced to. serve, Iowa will not
remain state with reputation for
restriction, narrowness and proyin
cial Puritanism; 30 much SO that the

Where Influence Counts

his wife is socially very ambitious
and wishes to see him shine in the
world of work that she may ascend
on the social ladder and enjoy re-
/. fiected glory.
And somehow it seems very paltry.
and unless the man Is built on simf,
( lar lines. to him it must seem rather
unworthy; for it skins only the sur
face of the ambition that would see
+, and help him grow, just to develop the
bigness and the greatness of him.
Folk say that as time slips along
and the halcyon days OF life together
gradually merge into the duller
eyerydays with the skies sometimes
wonderfully blue and sometimes heav-
lily overcast, nothing counts SO much

And surely it is true that that
scores its many telling points and 1t
is only right that it should; for it is
the way OF nature
But of what avail the best-cooked
dinner in the world unless the heart
is in tune with the dinner?
And it seems that of all things that
would urge man on to set his mark
a little higher. and still little higher,
would be the knowledge that at homc
there was someone who cared, some
one who knew and was thrilled when
he rose, grieved and disturbed when
he fell Someone, too, big enough in
mind and in heart to understand his
ambitions and, mayhap, to help turn

For that is when the word infiu-

Experience.

The world was made when a man
was born.
He must taste for himself the for.
hidden springs;
He can never take warning from old
fashioned things.
He must fight as boy. he must drink
as a youth,
He must kiss, he must love, he must
swear to the truth
OF. the friend of his soul he must
laugh to scorn
The hints OF deceit in a woman's
eyes
They are clear as the wells of Para
disel
And SO he goes till the world grows
old.
Till his tongue has grown cautious,
his heart has grown cold,
Till the smile leaves his mouth, till
the ring leaves his laugh,
And he shirks the bright headache
you ask him to quaff.
He grows formal with men, and with
women polite
And distrustful of both when they're
out of his sight
Then he eats for his palate and
drinks for his head,
And loves for his pleasure-and it's
time he was dead.

Without being at all sympathetic
with the old notion that wife should
sink her personality into that of her
husband, and without an overweening
faith in the might of influence, with
no other force behind 1t, it does seem
that a wife sometimes loses sight of
her wonderful opportunity to help
broaden the life Tinker with hers by
the strongest OF ties.
For, whatever a mans obligations,
whatever his duties may be, it is a
beautiful thing, and mighty work
from day to day, to create home
setting that gives real meaning to
those words "a labor of love" In 1t
there is no room for the pickering.
the fault-finding and the needless jar
ring that prey upon the mind and
react upon the work of the day.
1t Is very true that it is a lonesome,
sorry enough way for any wife or
any husband who attempts to create
that atmosphere alone: but in this
instance one is not thinking of the
difficulties or of where the duty rests;
one is only thinking Of the result. OF
that, and of the mighty satisfaction
that comes with the knowledge OF
work well done, the knowledge that
the one to whom the greatest alleg-
lance of all has been pledged, is full
filing his duties the better because
of the influence and the atmosphere
