THE PRESIDENT

What the country really thinks of the
President and his Administration is prob
ably better portrayed in our magazines than
by any other medium. Magazine comment
is necessarily our most studied and carefully
planned form Of public expression. More
over since the magazines frankly admit they
cannot champion many unpopular causes,
that they must reflect popular sentiment in
large degree in order to hold their readers,
the consensus of magazine opinion on q
matter as universally vital our Admin
istratlon has a very considerable signih-
cance
There have been numerous recent Issues
to stir up editorial comment, among others
the agitation over national defense the
Presidents message to Congress, recurring
ripples of the Mexican situation and the sig
nIlcance of the recent elections. In the
following list, covering most of the maga-
zines that print controversial articles. 10
magazines indorse the President and his Ad
ministratIon, five criticise adversely, two are
neutral and 10 are completely silent
Most of the magazines generally accepted
as representing the most conservative ele-
ment--which Is opposed to the tendencies OF
the Administration--are in the class which
have nothing to say. The more popular. or
less conservative. are in the predominant IN
the class lndorsing the Administration. the
leading writer's in this class call the Presi-
dent an idealist and point out that ideaisn
=. diaaoult to attack because Of its very
evanescence. Perhaps this accounts In part
for the silence of the less enthusiastic.

soming into girlhood She had been
ailing for some time but was uncom-
planning and it was not suspected she
was so i'll until only two days before
her translation to the higher life
with her Heavenly Father. All was
done that skill and love could do but
the Heavenly Messenger came quick
ly and bore the unsullied little spirit
to its eternal home After a brief
prayer at the home by Rev. Scoggan,
the little body was taken to Tabor,
Iowa, where services were held at
the home of the mother brother, O..

Sudden Death OF Mrs. Ed Brown.

E g. = W 4 rl ID ID y.
Just as preparations had all been
made to move from the home near
kenesaw, Nebraska, to Wisconsin,
and while the husband was in that
state, Mrs. Ed Brown died suddenly
of pneumonia fever. The body was
brought to Decatur City, Iowa, Mrs.
Browns former home, where the fun
eral services were conducted in the
Methodist church on Wednesday
morning, Dec. End, by Rev. Guy j.
E'ansher. pastor of the Methodist
church of Leon.
The following obituary was read
at the service:
Clara Belle Wright, daughter of
David and Matilda Wight was born
near Gladstone, Illinois, Feb. 2Sth,
1877, and died at her home near
Hastings, Neb., Nov. 26th, 1914,
aged 81 years, months and 81 days.
She was married to Edward
Brown of Decatur, Iowa, in the
month of Nov. 1898. To this union
were born five children. She leaves
to mourn her loss a loving husband,
five children, five sisters and one
brother, and host of near relatives
and friends. Her death was sudden
and has shocked her neighbors and
dear friends. She will be sadly miss
ed in her home as she was so good
and willing to do anything to make
the family happy. Five years ago
she united with the Christian church
in Nebraska. she was always cheer
full and always tried to make others
happy
