First Whit, Man in Iowa.

1t was 24O years ago, on June 20.
1873, that white men first set foot on
Iowa soil. On that lly the Indians
living in village which was probably
located at the mouth Of the Iowa river
were ARrprised to see two men strange
in dress and color approaching along
the path which led from the river
bank. The two men were Father Mar
quette, q Jesuit priest, and Louis
Joliet, a French trader, who had SCI
out the previous month to discover and
explore the Mississippi river OF which
they had heard SO much. The Indians
received the strangers kindly and with
great ceremony, and 1t 10 of this meet
ing that the poet LongfellOw wrote IN
"Hiawatha'' in the incident Of the COM
ing of the Black Robe chief There
was feasting and exchange of pres
ents and then after few days the ex-
plorers continued their journey down
the great river.
For many years it was supposed that
this first meeting between white men
and Indians on Iowa soil occurred near
the mouth of the Des Moines river,
But several years ago. in an article
published by the State Historical So
ciety of Iowa, Prof. Laenas @. Weld
produced evidence which goes to prove
that the Indian village was located at
the mouth of the Iowa river.

Prun, III. Ora psvinss.

II grapevipes are allowed to grow
without pruning, ordinarily. about ten
times as much fruit will set as the
vine can well mature. The effect of
unpruned vines is seen in the wild
grapevines, which bear small and in
ferior fruit. Many Of the domestic
grapes have been obtained from wild
grapes by process Of upbreeding, Civ
ing them better environment, and by
pruning. In other words, when you
take nine tenths of the vine away from
wild grapevine. the one-tenth will
bear better and more fruit than the
entire vine would bear The object OF
pruning is to get just as much fruit
from as little vine as possible, accord

''Twsnty-tlve times during the his
tory Of Iowa has the general assembly
been called upon to select men to rep
resent ths commonwealth in the senate
of the United States; and on three
occasions the governor has made APP
pointments,' two Of which were later
ratified by the legislature. Fifteen
men have been the recipients Of this
highest gift within the power Of this
state. Two Of them resigned before
the expiration of their terms In order
to accept positions In the presidents

manned for two or three successive
terms; while one occupied = seat in

For four Of these men the COVER
norship Of the state of Iowa proved a
stepping stone to seat in the United

resented the people OF Iowa In the

LAFOLLETTS FAILURE.
Nevada representative

Senator ILaF,ollette has published a
book in which he "roasts' the fepub-
lican leaders, as Roosevelt, Cummtus
and others from whom he received en-
couragement to enter upon his candt-
dacy for the republican presidential
nomination but who did not fight for
him clear thru the preliminary CAM
paign. We wish the wisconsin senator
would not "grouch" after this fash
ion. The fact IL that whole lot OF
men Of larger and smaller influence
started in with q sincere purpose OF
supporting LaFollette for president;
but when the psychological moment
came for him to get into the held and
lead his hght, he did not get IN. After
wards it appeared that he was
sick, which was good excuse;
but his intending supporters were
not able at the time to get any excuse
and when ne finally did start he went
to Philadelphia and made speech
which was at the time most universal
~ accepted as q demonstration OF tenn
porary disability. Then his friends oyer
the country understood what had
puzzled them before. In the mean
time his candidacy had fiattened out
for lack of his own leadership at the
critical moment Back of his failure to
lead at that moment is the further
condition that he had contracted TO
furnish series Of magazine articles
and was in consequence working him
self to death. There is no question that
he did this because he needed the
money, and the whole matter as IL
is reviewed is in several respects
pitiful; but all of that does not
alter the fact that it took well
man and one who was in position TO
give his time to the fight to be the
standard bearer. il the republican
party were to be saved from the
clutches of the outfit that were propos-
ing to renominate Taft. 1t was not
the fault Of anybody but was the mis-
fortune Of LaFollette and perhaps OF
the republican party that it came to be
recognized and had to be recog nized,
that he was not qualifying according
to the requirement Of the situation. and
that political arrangements must be
made less dependent upon his health
and activity. AS before suggested, 1t
makes US sorry to see that Senator
LaFollette can not size the matter up
in this way.

WHERE IT FAILS.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil.l

[COuncil BlunS Nonparell.J
Here is where society is at fault.
There is too much temporizing with
crime and criminals. In nine cases out
of ten when man stands before the
bar of justice and is found guilty Of
crime Of any kind it is the sequel Of a
long career in the same line. A very
large percentage Of the crimes COM
mitted In the country are the work OF
men who have done time for kindred
offenses. This is simply another case
in point. This man had done time for
threatening to do just what he did do
when released. A man with dispo-
sition like that has no business at large
in any community He should have
been confined until it was demonstrated
beyond reasonable doubt that he was
cured Of his mania for revenge. And
that should be the aim Of all prison
work, the cure of the men committed
for violation of law. And no man should
be released until he is cured. Instead
of ninety days this man should have
had a course Of treatment extending
over a period Of nine years or possibly
more.
