Then. let 1t be suggested that there

Men who have children love them
They desire for them a better chance

Of a higher type than themselves. Such

WHY NOT TRY IT IN ,owA7

Two good things for Iowa are being
,neglected-apples and alfalfa. Not en-
;tirely neglected but the orchard is re-
tcsiving small attention and alfalfa
Jess. And we are told that both crops
may be made extremely valuable TO
the state
Certain sections in Iowa, notably
southwestern, are raising apples which
compete as to quality. quantity and
price with the apples imported into the
State from the highly advertised ap-
pie regions. The fact seems to be that
Rn Iowa orchard is g. winner II 1t is
given anything like the attention tina,
the orchardist of the rou,ed valleys IN
the west and the hillsides Of the east
bestows.
1t is not hard life, that Of an
orchardist. Indeed it Is an easy task
compared with the conduct Of general
farming. Why do not more Iowans
with the fru!, fever take up apples in
Iowa instead OF taking a chance Oh
the ford representations of foreign
promoters Of orchard lands? A failure
in Iowa wouldn't mean entire loss.
The land is worth good money to raise
other crops on.

IOWA FARMS AND FARMERS.


The II. L. Quick farm Of 2sS acres
in Lee county. changed hands few
days ago. The purchaser gave up
$4,000 for this farm. being $3.50 per
acre. Not so many years ago. the cor
respondents would have made great
stories about this sale and all the
papers would have featured 1t. To-day
II Is not regarded worth more than a
few lines. Yet it must be rather dis
couragins news for the man who Is
plugging away in a subordinate posi-
ton in big city. without hope Of pro-
motion and with no prospects OF getting
ahead-the fellow whom the papers
are advising to get back to the soil.
In the first place he never came from
the soil and in the next place he has
no $4,000 lying about loose, nor Is
h. able TO purchase a much smaller
place at similar figures. And II he had
II. he would not know what to do with
II. There is as much sense in advising
the men who are not winning big po-
sir!ons and a ane income in the towns
to go back to the soil as there would
be in advising the farmer who does
not succeed on the farmland there
are such-to jump into town and be-
gin fixing teeth or doing electrical work
or tuning pianos Farming is more
than a trade. more than a half dozen
trades put together, and the really sue
cessful farmer needs to know much
more than the man in town needs to
get along on.

THE JUDICIARY.

lDes Moines Register and Leader.]
While Iowa recently sanctioned a
new plan for the nomination and cleo
ton Of judges, Texas is in the throes OF
agitation for a change of the system
in vogue there, and elsewhere in the
nation there is a significant movement
TO alter the existing methods of choos
ing judicial officers and to restrict. their
power.
In Texas, az the state bar associa-
ton, few days ago. Henry D. Nc
Donald, who was associated with Rea
gan. Hogg and other noted Texans OF
an earlier day. brought a terrific in.
dictment against the primary scheme
OF selecting judges in vogue in that
urging a return to the old convention
system. In the course Of his remarks
however, ne said this:
Il really believe in system that
would permit the judges OF the SUI
preme court to name the district
Judges
The idea Is not new: that is to say,
II has been proposed with force,
especially of late. that the scheme Of
state judicial and law enforcing sys-
tenn be put on a basis analogous to
the federal plan This would contem-
plate the appointment Of the judicial
officers by the executive and the ap-
pointment Of prosecuting attorneys
by the state department OF Justice
at whose head is the attorney gen.
eral. To this plan influential and
thoughtful people have subscribed. but
the general tendency is in the other
direction.
In Iowa the late legislature ADOPT
ed the non partisan law which will
permit the nomination and election OF
supreme and district judges in this
state without reference to their poll
teal party utilization. 1t is unlikely
that for some time the people will
consent to relinquish the right them
selves to name judges on nonpar-
tisan basis to put the selection OF
judges in the hands OF an executive
| who is the head and titular leader OF
one or the other of the political par
ties, however desirable 1t might be
and however much the grade of ability
thus secured for the bench might be
improved 1. is probable that the
same opposition will develop in Texa.
with respect to the suggestion that the
supreme judges name the district
| judges
Eventually, however, It Is probable
that the people will perceive that they
will exercise the minimum Of theil
political power when they choose q
single or a few representative execu.
tive officers accountable for the So.
| lection Of all other officials.

Psalm Of the HaIosrs.


He that turneth from the road to res

God will be his guide.
