AN ADDRESS ON CHARACTER.

Kenyon spoke on LARA bee yesterday
to the joint assembly. HIS was an easy
task and we'll done His subject gave
scope for eloquence. for Larrabee was
pioneer in the political Development
of Iowa as IN the reclamation Of her
prairies. The address was upon char
acter. The life that illustrated the i'm
mortality Of high scharacter was one
eminently fitting to emphasize the veri-
ties of character and service For Of
all Iowas governors Larra5ee will ranl,
as the pioneer of the square deal and
the enemy Of special advantage
The speaker was exceliently chosen.
Politically he is a result Of the move
ment which began effectively with Lar
rabee and was carried to its climax ty
Cummins. He is heir to the fruits Of
the labors Of that great and earlier
governor and that later but not less
great and courageous executive an,
leader. And Kenyon rs a worthy hei.
to a great inheritance. He is heir to a
large privilege. vast opportunity and
heavy responsibility Few men have
had such an opportunity or have ac-
cepted 1t more seriously.
The keynote which carries thru the
biography Of great men is character
and service. thru the history of the
world from the story Of nations down
to the least community. The only mer
who deserve memorializing are those
who serve the public good.

Peevish Children
Suffer With Worms

Don't be angry with your child be-
cause he or she is continually irritable.
In ninety nine out OF one hundred cases
you will find that the trouble IL worms.
Among the common symptoms OF the
presence of round worms are nervous
ness,-which leads to epileptiform at
tacke dizziness vertigo. carpricions
appetite, restless sleep, itching of the
eyes and nose nausea and often hys-
terra. Rpund worms are several inches
in length and infest the stomach. Os-
casionally several hundred are found
in a single person. Thread worms are
smaller, often not longer than quarter
Of an inch. The symptoms denoting
their presence are about the same, but
in this case the child has no appetite.
Jaynes Tonic vermifuge is unsur-
passed in removing worms. Not only
will it destroy them. but its tonic
effects will restore the stomach to
healthy activity. AS Jayne's Tonic

tons Of Its beneficial effects Will b.

PUBLIC OPINION AND THE LAW.

good lawyer. He served the state as
governor. He came much in contact
with the public. In a recent address
before local bar association he made
some significant statements. Among
others We're these
The constitution and the laws must
be construed with regard to the exist
ing conditions OF society and industry.
If we (the lawyers) are to become
mere conservators of institutions and
protectors of property we are sur
rendering the prestige and the leader
ship that have been ours for so long.
We should have a system of court
procedure and system Of admins
tering the law and justice that will
reflect public opinion.
This is rather revolutionary from
legal point of view. Some lawyers
may be found to say that this is advo-
eating the rule Of the mob. But HadleS
does not have this idea in mind. He
takes account in this connection OF
well advised and well considered pub
lie opinion Hadley's contention In
this connection is that when intelli-
gent public opinion condemns men, as
sociations, customs and long estap-
lished practices that the fault is mucn
more likely to be found in the things
condemned than in public opinion
Whereas, lawyers are prone. to rail at
public opinion rather than look within
for faults to be remedied.

A SONG Of Corn.

A Song Of Corn.
Tho other products of the soil
Are very good TO eat;
And fruit is pleasing to the taste,
And so are fish and meat;
There's nothing since the world began
OF seed or tuber born.
That nourishes the human race
So perfectly as corn.

The pudding in the pot,
Cornbread that makes the butter melt
II is so piping hot:
The hoecake Of the sunny south,
What epicure could scorn
Such simple. tempting dainties made
OF good and wholesome corn.
There's health in every yellow grain,
There's magic in the meal,
1t builds our jaGed muscles up,
And makes them strong as steel:
Each kernel gamers up the gold
And fragrance Of the morn.
So let us all take off our hats
To every field OF corn.
