The Closing Down Of Taber's Min.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: The saw mill
at keokuk has closed down "for
good That Is villainous phrase.
Surely it is not for Keokuks good,
nor for the good OF the men who were
wont 10 have regular employment at
that mil. Not for the good OF the
owners of the plant, who have consid.
cradle money invested in 1t. A quar-
ter OF a century ago there were hun
dreds OF mills on the upper river.
They have been disappearing rapidly
IN recent years. and but short time
ago, one of the Keokuk papers was
pointing with something akin to
pride TO the fact that the Dam CITY
had one Of the few mills that were
left on the upper river. When Quar-
ter Of q century ago, a mere brief
TWENTY-FIVE years past, some one
dared to call attention TO the fact that
the forests at the headwaters of the
river We're being destroyed, he was
laughed TO scorn and told that the
pineries could not be exhausted in
thousands OF years. Yet the rafte-a
have gone and all but one of the great
mills have closed down, because thera
are no more logs TO be had.

Friedman has made a great fortune

Because this is SO. increased doubt
will be felt by DR.. Friedmann's own

CHARACTER AND REPUTATION.

! 1haracter and reputation sometime
30 together, frequently they are wide
lly separated. Reputation has a Ger
tain value which should not be under
rated Or despised But character is
lof the two, by far the more important
In a recent lecture on the subject Of
The Vision Splendid" Ernest Wra,
tOneal OF Chicago closed with a mum
Der of trite epigrams on this subject
which young men ought to clip and
paste in their hats. Following are
some of them:
Reputation is what men say you
are; character is what God knows you
are
Reputation is seeming; character is
being.
Reputation is your photograph /;
character is your face.
Reputation is manufactured; char
|acter is grown
Reputation is what comes over you
from without; character is what rises
up from within.
Reputation is what you have when
you come to town: character is what
You have when you go away.
Reputation makes you rich or poor:
character makes you miserable or
happy
Reputation is what you need to get
a job. character is what YOU need to
keep one.
Reputation is what is chiseled on
your tombstone. character is what the
angels say about you before the
throne CT God.
Reputation is but the synonym OF
popularity Nothing is more uncer-

character is the reality OF himself. A
good character is in all cases the
fruit of personal exertion. It is not

the result of ones own endeavors-
the fruit and reward OF good principles

A New York paper in commenting
On the call for the biennial convention
OF the Women's Trade Union league O!
New York sounds a note OF warning.
It calls attention to the fact that
there are women hricklayers and

Iductors and messengers, women core.
makers in foundries and taxicab driv-
ers, and even woman stack painter.
It sees grave harm coming to the
man through this appropriation of his
rights. But the paper does not say a
word about the men dressmakers.
men cooks, men milliners, men clean
ers, lanndrymen, window washers, and
goodness knows what else besides.

Under the new law, which has just
gone into force in the state. the state
executive council is preparing to make
exhaustive investigation first into
land values for assessment purposes
and later into corporation values for
the same purpose; ali with view to
make more equitable adjustment OF
assessment values for the year than
ever before. Under the decision of the
district court in Des Moines the council
is required TO make an investigation and
ascertain the true value of property.
The council, acting under the new
law, had already taken steps to have
this same thing done and the work is
already well under way.

Industrial Commission investigating
Claim That Some Employers Have
Illegal Method of Creating Fund.

Madison. Complaints that few EN-
ployers are assessing the wages of
Workmen in order to create a fund to
pay for insurance under the work
mems compensation act are receiving
the attention of the industrial COM
mission. The alleged practice is con-
trary to law. The commission, in TAX
ing up one of the complaints, issued
the following statement:
"The compensation act provides
that the employer shall pay the COM
pensation as provided in the act and
that the employer shall secure insur-
ance covering this liability, or be ex-
empted therefrOm by the industrial
commission. It is our judgment that
the employer cannot shift the liability
for compensation or the insurance Of
compensation onto the employees by
deducting any part of their salaries to
pay insurance or compensation. We
do not think this can be done even by
agreement with the men, for it would
be palpable evasion of the spirit of
the law to do so. The public policy
of law is determined by the legisla-
ture, and where the legislature has
declared a public policy, a citizen may
not set aside that policy, even by con-
tract
