WORK AND OLD AGE.

One hears so much said of late
against the practice of men who have
passed the age of fifty-five and sixty
years continuing to labor that there
is danger of the public being misled
and deceived into the belief that life
may be shortened by this practice.
We are quite willing to accord good
faith to the advocates of this delusion,
but it is nevertheless delusion that
labor is hurtful to the man who has
arrived at the age of sixty years. More
men grow into state of cary decay
and float out on the sea of eternity
by giving up work than by applica-
ton to work after they have passed
the meridian of life.
Stagnation is death, and especially
so to one who has led an active life
up until he is fifty or sixty years of
age and then retires with the thought
that inaction will prolong life. The
best evidence to prove that giving up
work does shorten a mans life is to
be found in the numerous examples
which every community furnishes.
The London correspondent of the
New York Sun sheds some valuable
light on this interesting subject. He
says:
Don't stop work at 10; do more of
it," remarked Sir Gilbert Parker a
few days ago, and Sir James Crichton-
Browne, an acknowledged authority
on longevity, agrees with Sir Gilbert
thoroughly.
''If you want feeble and miserable
old age, give up working" said Sir
James, who, although born as long
ago as 1910, is one of the busiest men
in the kingdom today. "The most Wig
orous period of human life in it's en-
tirety is obviously between Is and
40 years of age" he added, 'but to
say that men above the latter age are
comparatively useless is to fly in the
face of the biographical dictionary.
Much of the best work of the world
has been done by men over 40, and
we should by no means stand where
we are, but be back in the twilight
ages if bereft of what these men ac-
complished.
Musical expression, like speech,
reaches its acme in late middle life.
But higher in the cerebral hierarchy
than speech or music centers are 9TH
ers concerned in the manifestation of
purely intellectual powers, such as
reason and judgment, which come to
perfection late, and may long pre-
serve their integrity. A preponder-
ance of the work involving calm and
powerful reason is done by men from
IS to 20 years of age. Our judicial
system in this country has been built

JUDGE ouARroN FOR CONGRESS

Judge Quarton of Algona has de-
cided to come out as candidate for
congress against Frank Woods on the
progressive ticket. The judge has
taken plenty of time to sound the feel
ing in the Tenth and has decided that
he has chance to win. He will have
enthusiastic supporters in each county.
He is an able man and is popular and
a good public speaker He is farmer
on large scale and live stock breeder.
He will make spirited campaign,
intending to make number of speech
es in every county. He will also be
supported by number of noted bull
moose speakers and it is intended
if possible to secure COL Roosevelt lor
at least one speech. The campaign is
now on in dead earnest and if Woods
is returned he will have to hustle as
never before. While he is a success
full campaigner, Mr. Woods is losing
ground. He has flirted too much with
the democrats, has not stood for the
the letting out of the many of his
postmasters through the appointment
of democrats has weakened his organ
ization. At Coon Rapids he has not
been able to find single person to
circulate his petition though there
are more than 400 republican voters
in the town and township. If Mr..
Woods hold on the party has weaken
ed elsewhere as it has here Judge
Quarton will have walk away with
the election easily. He would do the
district credit in congress. He would
be heard from on the floor and in the
committee room and the Tenth would
again be known for brains and effici-
ency. While The Enterprise is known
as a standpat republican newspaper it
will support Judge Quarton for the
reason that it would like to see a man
of high character and ability in con-
gress from this district. Every effort
will be made to have him speak in
Coon Rapids sometime during the cam
paign and he can be assured in ad-
vance of hearty meeting.-Coon Rap

"The way to make old age peevish

by which it is sustained and tranquil

given favorable conditions and bar

Sir James added that very often
old age was made feeble and decrepit
because of the maladies of early life
All these maladies leave their foot
prints behind them, and in aged men
were often found the tracks ~of
measles or the marks of whooping
cough.

What Was the Reason?

Some time ago an eastern newspa-
per printed the price of bed as $175
instead of $11.75. The advertiser was
much worried over the trouble the
mistake might cause, and the publish
er was trembling to thing how much
the blunder might cost him. Strange
to say, nobody inquired for the bed in
question. The publisher says that the
mistake was so obvious that readers
realized that the price was wrong and
did not attempt to take advantage of
the store. Some unkind advertising
man suggested that the incident
proved that the newspaper has no pull
ling power. The mystery remained un-
solved at last reports.

CLARKE A GOOD GOVERNOR.

The supporters of John w. Row.
ley for the nomination for governor
on the republican ticket, as well as
the supporters of Judge Lee, are max
ing their campaign upon the theory
that Governor Clarke committed a
grave error in not vetoing the meas
ure of the last general assembly pro-
viding for the extension of the capt.
tol grounds at Des Moines. This plan
of campaign may suit Mr.. Rowley and
Judge Lee also, but it would impress
the voters of the state more favor
ably if these gentlemen would conduct
their campaign upon the theory that
they possess qualifications for fill
ing the Office of governor
The supports of Judge Lee have
called upon the republican newspa-
pers throughout the state to express
themselves on their choice for gov
ernor and to give their reasons for
making a choice. We have no hest
tation in expressing our choice and
in giving the reason for the same and
we unhesitatingly assert that under
the circumstances Governor Clarke is
entitled to a denomination and the
reasons prompting us to this conclus-
ion are to be found in the fact that he
has made and is making good gov
ernor; he is aman of mature years and
has had sufficient experience to quail
ify himself for the office of governor
He is man of character and integ-
rity, notwithstanding the charges on
the part of number of people that
he was wrong in the course he pur-
sued respecting the extension of the
capitol grounds. 1t has been the prac-
tice of the republican party to give
the governor second term where |
he has made good record during his |
first term.

and this agitation on the
part of both Mr.. ROWley and Judge

renominated and this agitation on the
part of both Mr.. Rowley and Judge
Lee may weaken his candidacy, but
it will not result in the nomination OF
either one of them for governor. We
appreciate that in certain localities
in the state there has been worked UP
some criticism against Governor
Clarke on account of his relation to
the capitol extension proposition, but
where persistent effort has not been
made to stir up trouble we do not
imagine there is very much feeling on
the question.
The governor may lose some votes
on account of this matter, but not
withstanding he will be stronger be-
fore the people than any other candi-
date who can be nominated by the re-
publicans at the coming primary.
Governor Clarke may have made a
mistake, but if he did it was an error
of judgment and not of the heart. We
do not believe that to save his life the
governor would do dishonorable
thing or betray the people of his
state. His conduct in private life and
since he has been governor all go to
prove that he is an honest man. We
know that if he is continued in the
Office of governor that he will man
age the affairs of the state quietly,
but safely, and that he will not bring
disgrace to the high Office he occu-
pies.
We wonder what qualifications Mr..
RoWley possesses to claim the nomina-
ton for governor. The only thing
which has been emphasized is the
fact that he will stand ready to veto
an appropriation for public improve
ment Judge Lee may have attained
some notoriety in judicial way,
since he went upon the bench and may
possess local popularity, but he is
not known throughout the state and
all that he can hope for is to divide
the republicans in the state and to
weaken the candidacy of the man
who succeeds in securing the nom
inati0n.
We are for Clarke's denomination
because he has made a good record
as governor, because his record dur
ing his first term warrants his asking
a second term, because he is an able
and conscientious man and If elected
to the Office of governor will insure a
good administration.
