IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

In the old days." says the Sigour-
ney Review, they did not need to en-
ploy an orator for commencement. The
fellows in the graduating class fur
nished the oratory and the entire pro-
gram except the music. Nowadays they
get some big gun to talk and that we
judge is the reason the attendance is
not as great as Of old"
"The statement that this secret or
ganization often sought and some
times managed to procure control OK
the committee on labor and Judiciary
in both the house and the senate is
significant to the point OF being sinis-

STREET CAR SPRINKLERS.

a sprinkling car that Will be run over

will be an Improvement on the old way,
and the business men will save that
$4,000 in very short time. 1t seems
to the looker-on in Vienna, as If the

other story and rather than not to have
it done or to have it done in manner
most unsatisfactory the Clinton mer-
chants are going to do it themselves.

FLAGS ON SCHOOL HOUSES.

[Cedar Rapids Gazette.]
An school houses must have flags
from this date forward. according to
a law passed by the last general as
sembly. Most school houses have had
flags for years. Those which dldn
should have had them long ago, so
that the law is al, right.
Patriotism is fine thing 10 teach
the boys and girls Of the state. The
presence Of the flag is great help IN
teaching patriotism.

Hog cholera is carrying off great
many hogs, but the scare is what will
create the real shortage. When hogs
begin dying in a neighborhood the
living hogs and pigs are rushed to
market regardless of weight. With
both cholera and the scare working
overtime, as they have been this sum.
mer and fall, we will be pretty sure
to hear Of the real thing in shortage
in hogs before another year rolls
around.
One Of my neighbors, who is some
what of a rusher, has husked his corn
and is breaking sod for next seasons

new automobile and d having the time
Of his life sailing over the best Of

odors, or the cream will not be clean.
If there is no machine shed Oil the
farm the machinery should at least
be taken out of the fields and the pol
ished surfaces painted or covered with
axle grease. Paint will prevent rust
and its use will add years of life to
almost any farm machine.
Wire corn cribs can be built in
hurry and will do for holding the
overflow, but unless theyareroofed
they can scarcely be regarded ascribs.
1t takes a little training to teach
the cows to take their places when
they are turned into the barn, but, if
the choreman knows his business,
they will soon learn. The choreman
who has to club his cows into their
places should try to get a job in
blacksmith shop or stone quarry.
Perhaps all the sweet things that
are said about the sweet plant-we
must not say weed now-are true, but
it is hard for some of us to believe
them. Anyway, it might be all right
to try at least a small patch in the
pasture as starter.
This vicinity has very few straw
"piles" this fall, but there are many
well-built Stacks" Burning straw to
get it out of the way is a thing Of the
past.

Philippine independence.
We can satisfy the obligations OF
generous justice toward the people of
Porto Rico by giving them the ample
and familiar rights and privileges ac-
corded our own citizens in our own
territory and our obligations toward
the people of Hawaii by perfecting
the provisions of self-government al

pines we must go further. We must
hold steadily in view their ultimate
independence, and we must move to-
ward the time of that independence as
steadily as the way can be cleared
and the foundations thoughtfully and
permanently laid.
Double Duty Toward Alaska.
A duty faces us with regard to
Alaska which seems to me very press:
ing and very imperative; perhaps |
should say a double duty, for it con-
Germs both the political and the ma
terial development of the territory.
The people of Alaska should be given
the full territorial form of govern
ment, and Alaska, as storehouse,
should be unlocked. One key to it is
a system of railways. These the gov
eminent should itself build and ad-
minister, and the ports and terminals
it should itself control in the interest
of all who wish to use them for the
service and development OF the coun.
try and its people.
Specially Important.

portance and significance | beg that

equipped and empowered to render
aven more eflectual service than it

ions of mine labor and making the
mines more economically productive |

For an Idle Moment.

A party of four just returning from a
theatre called in at fashionable restau-
rant. The prim old maid who was the
guests of the evening was charmed with
everything, especially the music. While
The waiter was Standing by the table she
asked him to find out the title Of the
peace the orchestra was playing. The
willing waiter promised, but other duties
claimed him for awhile, and when he re-
turned the lady had completely forgot
ten her request. When he bent toward
her and softly whispered something in
her ear she recoied with horror Then
recovering from the shock, she turned
with cold, relentless fury upon the hap
less man who waited. How dare your
she cried. "How dare you" 1t took the
terrified waiter quite time to explain
why he had merely breathed the title of
the piece so softly: What Can | Do to
Make You Love Me?"

Reading room of the public library has
been opened on Sundays. During that

There is a very good picture collection

is arrang ID of the birds that come north

Fredric Workman has long decriptiOn
of life and sport in the Southland, but
one does not realize its length as he
reads. The fact that this same remark
applies equally we'll TO the offerings of
other contributors, will perhaps explain
why SPORTS AFIEID has attained its
present prominence in years and p0pu-

S. D. Barnes, is another example IF a
long article that is undeniably too short.

The Law of God.
PUBLISHED BY REQUEST.

l..
There is no law but the law of God,
No power but the power of good;
No bending beneath the AluAghty rod,
No begging for daily food,
For God, in his tender, loving care,
Knows not OF sin or pain;
And sendeth us not affi ction sore,
TO bring us to Him again.
Our God is the Father Mother love,
Whose law is controlling ALL;
Who knoweth our need before we ask,
Who answers our earnest call.
Hetgiveth us of His perfect store,
Ii we on His power rely;
Our health and our strength, our daily
bread,
This bountiful all supply.
So let us know our Father. God,
Is the source of love and power,
His Law of Good will supply our need.
Whate'er be the day or hour.
There's never care His love cannot help,
No sorrow He cannot heal,
No sickness or sin but His loving thought
Can destroy and himself reveal.

self from the city post haste; sent the
two women found in the house to Jail
manded two married men found in the
house. Why the women should be pun
ished and the disreputabe bipeds 60 free
Is only known by the justice, who must
have strange standard of Justice and
