MORGAN AND THE REST OF US.

J. Pierpont Morgan is dead. Mr..
Morgan, having lived more than seven
ty-six years, arrived at the final goal
of the world in the old common way
which has been the way Of all since
death came into the world. Morgan's
death will shock the financial centers.
Perhaps it will shake them. But there
IL no good reason why Morgan's death
at practically four score and ten
should seriously affect legitimate bust
ness. Whether Morgan or any other
person shall have conc &c his t!cel day
on earth the sun will shine and the
rains fall and the processes of nature
continue. 1t is one Of these processes
that takes Morgan and will take US as
it has taken in their time all who have
lived. But the cattle will cover the
thousand hills. and men will go about
their tasks and pleasures as they have
done alwayA The grass grows as green
on a grave as elsewhere.
II Is wise lAlQS 10 understand t0at
men fade as the leaf. a wise UNDER
standing for all Of US Morgans or Muir
phys or Johnsons, milionaires or rner-
chants or odd job men. 1t is rather
strange that we refuse 10 accept and
understand of ourselves what we fully
recognize as 10 other forms of creation
that men and machinery wear out and
must be replaced.
It doesn't make much real difference
in the long run when we die. whoever
we are or how wide or limited our cir
Gle of business or acQuaintanceship
The main thing is what we did while
We lived. Whatever the present e.
feet Of Mr.. Morgan's death il will he
transitory. If he did really great help
full and excellent things while he might
those will live for II is impossible to
kill the thought and hope behind
really splendid purpose. Those are i'm
mortal and their exercise by any hum
an being the best bid for immortality.

The fve-m mile limit bill passed by the
house several days ago has not been
acted upon by the senate yet, but II is
thought the senate will pass 1t tho II
was defeated by that body in 1911.
II is regarded by majority OF the
people of the state TO be very i'm
portant measure The elimination OF
saloons from proximity - educational
institutions in Iowa certainly meets
with favor from every citizen of me
state who believes in sobr.ety and that
temptation To Incorporate. habits in
students should be minimized by separ-
ating the saloon from seats Of learning.
Nothing would be more helpful 10 Iowa
City than 10 relieve il from the ban
of the liquor traffic The state uni
verity would imne diateiE receive an
impetus Of prosperity and growth thas
would soon put il 20 the front among
the seats Of learning in the west. Inc
location and other advantages of Iowa
City have been outweighed by its repU-
tation as saloon dom mated town
Once relieved from this nightmare the
people would cease to worship at
the shrine of Bacchus and rejoice IN
their shrine from saloon thralldoU.

COUNTRY SCHOOLS AND ILLl1ERAcY.

Not immigration. but the lack of ed
vocational opportunities in rural dis
tricts. is chiefly responsible for the rel
atively high rate of illiteracy in the
United States, according to a bulletin
by A. c. Monahan Of the bureau of ed
ucation. Thes rate Of rural illiteracy is
twice the urban rate, despite the fact
that approximately three-fourths Of
the immigrants are in the cities. Still
more significant is comparison be-
tween children born in this country Of
foreign parents with those born of ma
tive parents. The iillteracy among
native. born children OF native parent
age il more than three times as great
as among native children of foreign
parentage," says Mr.. Monahan, large

tiles for education in rural America

one-room echoolhouseS In the entire
country of which 5000 are log buildings
still in use. They find that with so per
cent of the school population enrolled
average attendance in these schools is
but 81 per cent. Tthis latter may APP
ply in some degree to the rural schools
of this state for there is universal COM
plant over regular attendance. And
when the bulletin asserts that 1.-The
school buildings and grounds in most
country districts are in a condition that
is only approached by homes Of the
most shiftless residents of the dis
tricts," ii is going to be hard matter
to out form under it-for that is true
TO out from under it-for that is true
OF Iowa as elsewhere. The average
school building and grounds in Iowa
are not better kept than the buildings
and farms of the most shiftless farm
ers in the district, usually not SO well.
1t would be an excellent thing were
every interested resident of every rural
district in Iowa TO ask the bureau for
this bulletin which is illustrated with
photographs of good and bad rural
schools, from the log schoolhouse 10

neeted with a Louisiana school; and

supervision as it prevails in the several
states. The purpose OF the map is 10
show how real the need is for the kind
OF business like supervision OF the
country schools that has led TO such eff
fcient results in the cvity.

LAST WEEKS BUSINESS.

Building opera tions are active. TIE
net surplus OF Idle cars IS increasing
but is not unduly large. while railroad
groi1 earnings for the first three weeks
of March showed gain Of "A per cent.
Estimates o. April interest and divi-
bends show an increase Of about s1S,
000, 600 over a year ago, due chiefly TO
larger dividends by industrial compa-
MES. Foreign commerce continues
large. The statistics for the port Of
New York show exports s14.9s0.442 for
the latest week and imports of SIS,
25,257-a reduction in exports, but
marked gain in imports. Abroad. the
fall Of Adrianople foreshadows an early
termination Of the Balkan war and has
still further improved the international
monetary situation, especially in Ger
many.
a large volume Of business % supply
immediate needs, but comparatively
little buying in anticipation of future
requirements. The shoe trade is quiet
as far as fall orders are concerned.
while Leather IS firm and hides are
moving slowly. The heavy rains in the
south have caused an advance il cot
ton.
Disastrous foods compelled the shut
down Of iron and stee! plants in certain
districts. besides hampering freight
movements. Consequently, the industry
has become slightly disorganized and
shipments must necessarily be delayed
in quite a few irAances. There re-
mains an insistent demand for steel
bars. with the mills reported 20 be more
congested than al any previous time.
Considerable activity also prevails in
wire products and the larger produc-
ers have announced an advance Of 81
a ton. Additional railroad buying in
cludes an order for $4,000 tons Of rails
from one system alone, while & good
deal Of figuring is being done on cars,
even tho deliveries vii! nor be available
until late In the year.
Liabilities of commercial failures re-
ported FOR March 20 date amount TO
s23,o37,ss4, Of which s5,6o3.735 were in
manufacturing. sl1,Sss.Oss in trading
and s5,565,15O in other commercial
lines. Failures this week numbered PAS
in the United States against 2a2 last

OF many to enter upon an experiment
In which England and Germany have
gone N far We still cling to the
notion that the; teacher, like everybody
else. should save as she goes along
and provide for her own old age
But when present day conditions are
considered, and present day demands.
1t becomes plain that mere thrift on
the part Of the teacher is not enough.
The range OF investment Is exceedingly
small for those who are experienced in
the ways Of business. and the returns
of safe investment each year grow less,
While the cost Of living constantly
presses on even the most flattering in
come
England and Germany are as con-
stitutionally committed to individual
effort and individual thrift as America.
They have had the problem with them
longer and in more aggravated form.
They have accepted the annuity and
pension as the only, provision the com
munity can make against the days
when the salary Garner must cease to
earn a salary. II Is a form of state
fers the opportunity to provide against
day of want.
Other states have provided this
means Of protection, and Iowa will not
be entering upon any untried expert
ment. Neither will Iowa be adding
any considerable amount to the cost
OF teaching in the state On the other
hand, encouragement will be given to
teachers 10 making teaching a profess
sion, and to remain in Iowa.
The house should pass the senate
bill.

The jury composed Of men IN entire
| sympathy with her returned verdict
in her favor for $4,000. The prime
question in the case is, does the Jim
Crow act, requiring railroads carrying
passengers to provide equal but sep
arate accommodations for the while

state commerce, and, If SO, is it consti-

gagged in interstate transportation OF
passengers. and, as 30 construed, is not
invalid as an interference with inter
state commerce and is reasonable
exercise of the police power OF the
state. It also applies to sleeping cars.
As to the verdict. the court says: The
verdict Of the jury is grossly eSces-

FIGHT on CLIFFORD THoRNE.

Washington. Ia, Democrat
Somebody mas started silly fight on
Clifford Thorne and his EXPENSES while
at Washington, .. G.. locking after
some railroad rate cases. We do not
know how much attention is being paid
TO the charges, but in keeping with
our stand for home men and home In
situations. We want to go on record as
saying that all such talk is the sil!test
kind Of tomfoolery.
We DO not know how much of the
charges is truthful or how much he has
over charged OF. now much good ne has
done the state BY fighting for railroad
rate reform, but it is our opinion that
Clifford Tnorne has stopped al Gecen:
hotels, as ne should.
We do no. believe the great state OF
Iowa wants it's officials to stop at
cheap boarding houses, aitho we may
be mistaken about it. Not being re-
former, We may err. But we nave AN
idea that people OF Iowa want its Of
ficiais 70 live decentis and to ;rave! IN
comfort and in keeping with the dig
nifty OF their Offices.
OF course, Clifford could travel with
stock, by getting stock passes over the
railroads and he could stop off at night
and sleep in box cars or around the
depots and he could carry lunch tied
I'D In a cotton handkerchief. but we
do not believe II is necessary. He
could walk II the roads were good, but
we do not believe he is expected to do
that, even.
No charges have been brought
against him that make US think there
is the least evidence of graft about it,
and this paper, liz glad to stand up for
a home man. And this Is not stultify-
ing the Democrat. because all the
Democrat has ever disagreed with
him on has been on some Of his views,
but not on whether he should travel in
comfort when working for Iowa, or
not.
We do not recall what hotel he pa
tronized when in Washington ana We
do not care. We hope, also. that he
got his meals at q good place. He
might save money by patronizing chop
suey houses for free lunches. even. We
have an idea there are saloons liz
Washington where lie TIii.sa: Sc: glass
Of beer for a nickel and free lun'h.
but we would not advise him to do IT,
The people Of Iowa can oxford to pay
his way and that OF every other official
for the state. We think 1t pretty cheap
when we go to kicking on our officials
travelling too luxuriantly.

! about railroad rates. and we do not
