SOLDIERS AS CITIZENS.
tIowa Falls Citizen.1

One can hardly stand on the side
lines Decortaoin Day and watch
the old soldiers marching to and
from the village cemetery without
being impressed with the fact that
they make mighty good citizens. If
good citizenship consists in fidelit!
to home, honesty toward our fellow
men, and love of country. just
where Will you go to beat the old SOL
der?
In looking over the marching col
unln. you will seldom see a veteran
who does not pay his honest debts.
He may not be Very rich in this
worlds goods. He usually isn't.
He does. however. earn or has earned
by honest toll sufficient means to
support his family and provide
home for those near and dear to him.
He has due regard for his obligations
and is dependable in the manifold ways
and duties OF life.
In looking over the marching
column. YOU will seldom see an old
soldier without proper respect for
the home. There is every fidelity to
his family and the families OF other
people. He despises the moral leper
and the dispoiler of womanhocd. He
stands for decency.
In looking over the marching col
urln. YOU will see no soldier with
out love Of country. He placed his
life a. the disposal of his country
and there can be no greater test OF
loyalty. The training of the sol
die. in the army did much TO make
good men and good citizens OF them.
Ii is a test by fire that would be
good for many young man whose
mind may run TO smaller things.
The example set by the soldier IS
worthy of emulation BY the more
pretentious. He has been satisfied
to humbIy follow the humber rur-
suits of life. He has been satisfied
TO toll and labor without the dis
turbance OF the consuming fires Of am
bition. He has been satisfied TO do
his duty without d great hue ana
din TIE has been satisfied TO love
his country without exploiting il. He
has been satisfied to curb the selfish
within himself and have proper respect
TO. the rights OF his neighbor. He has
been satisfied to plod on without using
the tactics Of the shyster and the sharp
dealer.
You can't get much better citi-
zen than the Old soldier o. the war
Of the rebellion.

NOT ONLY ROCKWELL, CITY
Rockwell CITY Advocated

]. isn't often the Advocates becomes
peevish. but when it sees fault and
everyone else sees il just as plainly.
why not have a little something TO say
about it? Rockwell City in most
things is abreast with her neighbors
ana in many respects outstrips all com
petitors. but in one respect she is sore
~ and wontenly behind the whole
world That's a pretty broad asser-
ton but cannot he successfully refu-
ted What is more this condition IS
every year costing out town hundreds
of dollars when rightfully belong mere
but which by the conditions spoken OF
is driven to other towns Do you
know what the writer is trying TO get
at? Nothing more nor lMss than the
we'll and widely known horrible conGi-
ton of the public highways leading in
to the town. 1t is a matter Of com
mon comment that the streets Of Rock
we'll City and the highways for d mile
or so adjoining the town are universal
~ in the most deplorable condition OF
those in any section Of the county.
The Advocate does not care to discuss
the matter Of who is TO blame for this
condition of things, but does desire 10
impress upon the authorities and BUSH
ness men of the town that impossible
roads more than any ether one thing
causes trade that naturally belongs to
Rockwell City TO go elsewhere. NO
one will attempt TO dispute the truth
to this assertion. and yet no one seems
inclined to awaken to the true situa-
| ton and attempt to take any steps for
the betterment OF conditions
While il may make 10 especial diff
/ ference how much nor how loudly

/! against the disgracefui conditions as
they exist. and while it may with some
| shadow of truth be asserted that COM
/ plants from this source are occasioned

taHt fact remains that the farming
community adjacent to t1a town, while
probably not loud in their complaints
/ nevertheless do refuse to come to a
/ town 20 do their trading that has not
sufficient pride nor enterprise to see TO

, in as good shape as those leading
to other towns "If this be treason.
make the most of it." but in the mean
time awaken to the actual situation
and someone make move for change
for the better. The business men OF
the town are the ones most directly in
terested and it would appear that they
are the ones to in some way set the
ball rolling. Lets begin campaign
among ourselves for better streets and
highways and not let up until some
thing worth while is accomplished.

If 4 MAN..

II man were to voluntarily deprive
himself of the benefits of a large fort
une, If he were to sign off all his hold
ings and return TO poverty the question
of sanity would be an open one. Men
like to see their property work. The
mortgage money after it is paid IN Is
an eyesore until il is working again.
But suppose a man gains large
riches, accumulates much more than
he can or does or ever will use. Sup
pose he bends mis- energies toward the
enlargement of his fortune. sits over
his notes and bonds and money bags
until the day comes when ne must leave
it all, what satisfaction does be get out
to others TO be boarded or scattered or
given? Above the comfort Of his own
children and relatives II he has those
who need assistance, what is there IN
leaving q huge accumulation TO be
wrangied over or divided with SNUG
expressions Of satisfaction among
those who never did anything to make
it?
There's lot Of fun in making
money. 1t is an absorbing game. II is
big game, a mans game. But there
is more in making it do things than in
boarding it. The mere possession of
money doesn't get any man anything
except certain power. 1t doesn't
bring love or respect or confidence
The things the man does with his
money bring these. When all is said
and done the men who have thought
more of others than OF themselves
have had the best time. They have
had more real satisfaction in them
selves. That is history. That is life.
The man of wealth is to be envied
not because ne has much money but
because he has mighty opportunity.
He Is a 1000 horse power Corless en-
CINE. He ought TO be running a big
plant. When he limits the use of his
power to his own dollar making it is
as tho he had hitched the Corliss TO a
single mole corn SneiieT. IL Is a waste
of his capacities.
Men grow old and die. The longest
life is but a span. There isn't time
enough for any of US to do all we
would like to do. We ought to do
the big things. We ought TO get the
most out Of life for ourselves. When

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

Iowa farmers can grow alfalfa,
says the Parkersburg Eclipse. There
is no disputing this statement because
a great number in various portions of
the state are doing 1t successfully.
They went about it. however. in an in
telligent manner and have kept at it
in the same way. 1t takes brains to
grow good crops under unfavorable
conditions. such as alfalfa runs UP
against on much OF the soil in Iowa"
Some of the vets OF Waterloo be-
moan the fact that in consequence OF
the loss of revenue from saloons the
police force must be reduced. They
should know that not half as many
policemen are NEEDED without saloons"

The divorce was granted on the

it was a case of too much mother

making enough money to sup
port a separate home for his wife,
and so took her to live with his
mother. The mother did not like
her sons wife. So she left him,
and he got a divorce.

Philadelphia, Jan. 25.-Marlen
E. Pew, editor of The News Post,
the only adless paper other than
the Chicago Day Book in the
world, is under $500 cash bond
today to answers charge of Grim
inal libel brought by Magistrate
James Carey against Pew person
ally and the paper. The suit calls
for $4,000 damages.
The News Post recently pub
lished a story criticizing Carey
for sending a 17-year-old girl ar
rested by a city fireman to jail.
The girl said she saw the fireman
choking another girl he had ar
rested, and that she told the fire
man to stop his brutality and was
then arrested by him. She was
charged with interfering with a
fireman"
Pew attacked the magistrate
and his court for finding the girl
guilty and holding her in Jail.
Pew says that the case against
him will decide the. issue of gang
rule in Philadelphia. He says the
big gang is behind Carey in the
suit and that he will fight to a fin
ish.
Carey was elected Feb. 18,

enjoys the esteem and respect of
all who know him.
