His address was earnest and appeal

and his deductions therefrom were
logical and given in such spirit of
fairness and earnestness that every
sentence he uttered fell upon the
minds and hearts OF those who heard
him with convincing force.
His ideas OF choosing a husband
were plain and practical. given in
language that could be easily under

the congregation. He has wonderful
thought and power in the analysis OF
the subjects of his addresses. He has
studied them well from high moral
and religious standpoint and is conse-
auently well fortified in every propo-
sition he presents.
In treating the subject of choosing
a husband, he held out a solemn warn
ing to young women that the wives
and children very often reap the
harvest, the seed of which were sown
by the husband. and made stirring

nent in business, in politics and in
social life as any man in the state.
The death of such a man must of
necessity prove great loss to his
community and city.
We naturally wonder how a man
so young and apparently in as sOod
health as was Mr. Hart should fall
a victim to a disease which would
carry him away so suddenly as in his
case. The cause must be found in
the fact that many men are spurred
on by ambition to undertake nor
than their physical abilities will war
rant and permit their time to be TAX
en- up with business or other prob
lens to such an extent that their
health is forgotten and is undermined
before they realize that anything is
the matter with them 1t must be
recognized that one cannot accom-
r1ish as much in a short time as Mr..
HAIR was able to accomplish without
great effort and constant application.
Under such conditions it should be
no surprise if the vitality of the per-
son becomes exhausted and death
follows without any particular warn
ing.
There should be in the death OF
this prominent man a warning to
other business men who are bent on
building up regulations for success
full careers in business or along 9th
er lines. 1t is better to accomplish
less if wealth and fame are to be
purchased at so great sacrifice

congress has done nothing to pro-

Many civilian soldiers want to come

The rock of conservatism, upon
which the republican party split, is
now looming as a big danger in the
path of democrats. Many of them
think the extension of federal power

is an invasion of states rights and
unconstitutional; that the states are
competent to protect the natural re-
sources of the country, and should be
permitted to do so.

KENYON A REPUBLICAN,.

Senator Kenyon in his speech at
Minneapolis the other day before
a progressive club OF that city tod
them very plainly that he was a re-
publican, and that the only hope Tor
success was for the progressives and
republicans to bury their differences
and get together. There is always
something refreshing about Senator
Kenyon's republicanism. He is no
trimmer. He is republican because
he believes in the principles OF the re-
publican party. He indorses ana
stood for the republican ticket from
TOP to bottom at the late primary,
and as result received the highest
vote of any candidate on the ticket.
He didn't trim or support half OF the
ticket, upon some trumped up griev-
ance, but stood by his guns and the
result was that he holds the respect
and good will of all of the republicans
of Iowa, regardless of factions.-Man-

The New Administration.

When Governor Wilson becomes
President Wilson on March 4th, next,
the national government for the sec
ond time since the civil war will be
wholly in charge of the democratic
party in it's legislative and executive
departments. This does not mean
that every employee of the govern
ment will be member of the demo
cratic party any more than are all
employees under the present govern
ment republicans. 1t does mean, how
ever. that in all departments demo-
cratic policies will prevail and demo
cratic responsibility be assumed,
hence it is proper to say that the dem
ocratic party will be held to a safe
and economical conduct of the affairs
of government In other words the
democratic party stands in the posi-,
ton of an industrial plant that has re-
ceived a trial order from retail house
If the goods received meet the ap-
prevail of the people then other orders
may be expected, but if the goods
shipped do not meet the approval of
the people then no more orders will
follow. This being the situation, the
democratic party must make good or
at the expiration of its term close
down it's plant and go out of business.

Bread Conveys Diphtheria.

At recent meeting of the Academic
de medicine Of Paris, DR.. Rene Nor
eau, health physician at Sens, report
ed small epidemic of diphtheria
traced to a common source, a baker
who transmitted the infection along
with his bread sometimes to persons
whom he did not see. This epidemic
attacked eleven persons and caused
four deaths. 1t was not restricted to
a single commune, but extended to 3
at distance OF from rs to 3 81
miles. This spread was all the more
surprising since diphtheria is not ire
quent in either of the three communes
and has not been mentioned since
1905. Although several bakers fur
nished bread throughout the affected
districts, all the patients without ex-
district where there were at the time
er, whose wife and son were the first
attacked. The woman had contract
ed diphtheria when on trip to
district Wheer there We're at the time
several cases of the disease. After
the bread was taken from the oven it
was placed for time in the bakery
which connected with the sleeping
room of the bakers wife and son. Dis
infection of the bakehouse and the
houses of the patients put stop to
the epidemic. Although this manner
of spreading disease may be rare, says
the Journal of the American Medical
Association, it is worthy of considera-
ton when an epidemic springs up
among persons who have no apparent
mutual relations and when no other
cause can be discovered.
