THE DEAD EDITOR

The following was telegraphed by
Louis Murphy. editor of The Du-
buQue Telegraph Herald. in reply to
an invitation from the managing edi
tor Of the Sioux City Journal for an
estimate OF George D. Perkins:
Snow is falling gently while this
telegram is penned, as If nature had
In preparation bed Of down to rest
the weary body OF our dead BROTHER.
In this season when nature slumbers
after exhausting It's forces to fill the
granaries Of the world, it Is fitting
that he should sleep the sleep we'll
earned by service that had It's inspira-
tion in love and drew guidance from
q mind masterfully philosophic. To
yield to the cry OF the heart and
wish him back we're to doubt the wis.
dom and goodness Of God, and SO
there is resignation in the decree OF
Providence and serenity and peace
induced by knowledge that his life
surely was deserving life, his aims
truly noble aims, his humanity akin
to that of the Redeemer, whose creed
he loved to preach.
Part OF my fathers priceless heri
tage was the affection OF George D.
Perkins and that affection went out to
me when essayed. nearly twelve
years ago, to WELD with unknown
hand mighty pen. All that his af
fection has meant to me cannot say
beyond that its value is inestimable

This Body 10 NY House.

This body Is my houseit Is not I;
Herein sojourn. till in some far sky
lease fairer dwelling, built to last
Till all the carpentry Of time Is past.
When from my high place viewing
this lone star,
What shall / care where these poor
timbers aref
What tho the crumbling walls turn
dust and loam-
l shall have left them for a larger
home.
What tho the rafters break, the
stanchions rot,
When earth has dwindled to glim-
mertng spot.
When thou. clay cottage, fallest. I'll
immerse
My long-cramped spirit in the uni
verse.
Through uncomputed silences of space
! shall yearn upward to the leaning
Face.
The ancient heavens will roll aside
for me,
AS Moses monarched the dividing sea,
This body is my house 1t is not /;
Triumphant In this faith live and
die.

PROTECTION OF FARM PRODUCTS

PROTECTION OF FARM PRODUCTS.
In letter addressed to the voters
OF the Second district, Harry e. Hull
OF Williamsburg, the Republican con-
gressional nominee, In accepting the
Republican nomination, challenges
Henry Vollmer, his Democratic op-
ponent, to answer the following ques-
ton:
"Will you, il elected, offer bill to
Immediately amend the present law TO
restore the duties on farm products!
This is a pertinent question and a
vital one. AS the Clinton Herald
points out, the farmers OF Iowa and
other agricultural states are being
thrown into direct and disastrous COM
petition with the cheap lands of Can.
ada and Argentine and yet the pro-
Queer is receiving practically no re-
lief. Near the seaboard few pro-
ducts may be cheaper but the inland
country pays as much for Its FOOD
products as it did before the present
Democratic tariff law was passed.
Mr.. vollmer should answer promptly,
frankly and uneQuivocally yes or no.
The farmers of the Second district
have a right to know in advance
whether or not he would exert him
self to restore the duty on farm pro-
ducts in the event OF his election to
|congress.

THOUGHT FOR TIE DAY.

What constitutes state?
Not high-raised batlement, or
labored mound,
Thick wall or moated gate;
Not cities fair. with spires and
turrets crowned;
But men, htgh-minded men,
Men who their duties know,
But know their rights and knowing,
dare maintain
Prevent the long aimed blow
And crush the tyrant, while they rena
the chain.

The report Of the director Of the
bureau of agriculture at Manila states
that the rice crop of the last year
was the greatest which has been re-
corded for many years In the Philip
pines, being 100 per cent greater than
in the previous year AS a direct
result of the bumper crop thers has
been decrease of rice imports Oh
more than 176,0oo,00O pounds, repre-
senting in value over s2,5o0,oO0. There
was banner export crop of hemp
for the year, marking the highest
point which it has reached in the his
tory OF the industry. The exports
amounted to 14d.576 tons, valued al
$2S,G4i,744.

The highest structure In America,
and, with one exception, the highest
OF any kind in the world, has just
been completed near Tuckerton, on
the New Jersey coast. It is, wireless

still the tallest monument to mans

The Oldest lnhabftant.

Marshalltown Times Republican:
The Oldest inhabitant Is disgusted
with this winter. It's different from
the winters, the Iowa winters when
he was boy and young and used to
live out on the farm. He doesn't be-
lieve It's healthy. 'Tain't natural
Also It's bad for crops. Crops need
bfg fan OF snow. He never knew ii
to fail but what q big crop OF every
thing follows heavy snowy winter.
When he remembers the winter OF
(each old inhabitant will supply such
date as recurs to him.)
That winter the snow came last On
October and never went off the
ground till the middle of April. He
remembers that everybody husked
corn in bob-sleds and had to leave
the down ears under three eeet OF
snow. He Fuslasd his all alone and
finished New Years day. Crust on
the snow that would hold up team
and a good load of corn. That was
the winter that the man froze to death
lrp In the creek in the blizzard The
prairie chickens used. to ccma into the
barnyar,d and eat with the hens. The
roads we're full and you couldn't sec
a fence nowhere. Used to drive right
over the fences straight to town.
There by the big hila in that cut he
and his neighbors had to tllnnel
through the drifts and drove under
the archway of snow clear up to the
last Of March. And there was a whal-
ing. crop. It seems like the big snow
was as good as spreadin of ma
nure. Everything was big crop.
But they didn't get much out OF 1t.
Prices were low.
Huh! Only one zero day SO far this
winter. You can't remember the cold
New Years, can you? Well that was
what the oldest inhabitant calls cold
weather. Cattle froze standing stila
about the straw stacks. Hogs froze
to death IN heaps where they had
piled UP for the warmth Father went
out to do his chores and came back
in a minute or two with his eyes
frozen shut and had to thaw them
loose before he could open his eye
lids. Folks got as far as the barn
and managed to feed stock some way
but nobody could stay outside and
4! live. The red hot stove seemed to
have no effect and they crowded
close to 1t, stayed up all night and
managed to stay alive. There WASH,
any hot air furnaces then. A cook,
stove with wood to burn was the
main heating apparatus. Nobody had
fur coats those days. Overshoes were
unknown. Say, the young fellows OF
today would freeze to death right on
| top OF the stove If they had to stand
such weather as that was.
The oldest infabitant wonders what
a boy would think nowadays IL he
started out to hall hogs to town i,
mil ss with the mercury at 40 below in
a thermometer that only registered
/ that low. Laws knows how cold II
actually was. The oldest inhabitant
doesn't. He hauled hogs that day. Fl,
wore cowhide boots with two pair o.

NEW SCHOOL BUILDINGS NEEDED

NEW SCHOOL BUILDINGS NEEDED.
Keokuk's most pressing need at the
present time Is two new school buila-
ings. as all will agree who are con-
versant with conditions as they exist.
One of these buildings should be erect
ed the coming spring in the Seventh
ward on the block OF ground purchased
some time ago by the school board
for the purpose, and the other In the
First ward to replace the present Gar
field building.
No argument should be needed to
convince any intelligent, fair-minded
person Of the urgent necessity for
both buildings at the earliest practi-
cable date. Simple statement Of the
facts In the case should suffice. The
children Of school age residing in the
Seventh ward at present attend the
Cary school on Des Moines street be-
tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth.
This involves traversing greater
distance than IL required of children
attending any other school In the
city. But this is the least Of their
complaints. The Cary school is over
crowded by reason of the large area OF
territory tributary to it and 1t is inn
possible under present conditions to
maintain proper sanitation. Not only
the comfort but the health Of the pu-
pills is in constant jeopardy by rea-
son OF the number in attendance.
Every child in the city Is entitled to
an education under conditions that
make for comfort and health, and this
Is out OF the question at present In
the Cary school. A new building in
the Seventh ward would relieve the
existing congestion. It would afford
the children in that part OF the city
convenience to which they are en-
titled by every consideration OF right
and justice and enable them to acquire
an education under sanitary and help.
full conditions. The Seventh ward has
increased rapidly in population the
past few years and Is still growing.
Common fairness requires that 1t be
afforded adequate school facilities.
The Garfield building Is nothing
Y AIOlC AOl lcSS tudu d dangerous ure'
trap. The furnace is directly under.
meath the main stairway, and In case
OF a fire from. that source the pupils
would be cut off from all means OF es.
cape except by the outside fire es-
capes. In the panic and confusion
that would inevitably ensue in case OF
fire many Of them would perish. Keo
kuk should not invite such horror
by continuing to use the Garfield
building for school purposes. The
lives of the children in attendance
there are menaced daily by the mos
horrible death imaginable This condi
ton should not be permitted to con
tinue day longer than is absolutely
necessary. A new building should be
erected with the least possible delay
Unless this is done there is danger
that Keokuk will experience the
greatest tragedy in It's history.

that Representative Rainey of Illinois

rates. In about fifteen OF the larger
cities where the rates were apparently
very low it was found that either a
part or the entire cost OF the laying
of water mains is assessed against
the property owner, and the interest
charge on these costs should be added
to the rate in making comparison with
cities where the owner is not assessed
for mains.
