THE HARDWARE MEN.

The hardware men Of the state are
in session of the sixteenth annual con-
vention of the Iowa Retail Hardware
Dealers convention today. About 1,4OO
of them are expected to be present and
take part in discussions on advertising,
employers liability and like subjects of
common interest to hardware men. Ad-
dresses will be given by selected speak
ers from other parts of the country and
the business of hardwariag be pretty
thoroughly discussed.
1t is different crowd than an as

Chicago Tribune. Some people want to

place, will keep nicely until the follow
ing day. But If the buying citizen is
too "finicky' to believe that statement,
let him buy his meat on Sunday. The
meat market man can make Sunday
opening less obnoxious by opening
early and closing before church or
Sunday school services, and the man
who must buy his meat on Sunday
should not object to getting to the
market early. An article Of clothing
bought on Sunday is sometimes found
to be necessary, but individual casrs
can be looked after and the store
closed again, and the Sunday 1aW
fracture not made obnoxious. It is the
storekeeper who keeps open all day
who makes Sunday closing laws POS
sible and brings about a demand for
their enforcement. If business men
will be careful, conservative and reas-
enable, and church going people be
likewise in their Sunday trade, buying

not laying burdens and demands upon
storekeepers on Sunday. they would be

It seems that the city authorities

One of the most obnoxious Is that no
inscription shall be placed upon a

THE pY1HlANs' GOLDEN JUBILEE.

The knights OF PytnlaS are celeDrat-
ing the golden jubilee" Of the order
this week communicating its organi-
lodge Of thirteen government clerks in
Washington. Now the order has near
ly 5000 lodges with a membership OF
nearly 100000. The officers Of the or
der estimate that 100000 persons win
take part in the jubilee exercises.
In it's inception the order was in
clerks. The ritual was written by
Juds Henry Rathbone. an ex-schoo1
master who had secured a government
clerkship. The civil war was in pro-
gress and there seemed to him need
Of patriotic fellowship among those
who served the nation clerically. So
the first lodge was instituted with its
membership Of thirteen Of whom two
ares till living The merit Of the order
forced 1t farther afield until its mem
bership approximates million, its as
sets are more than $4,000, 900, its ex-
penditure during the fifty years Of its
existence has exceeded $40, 900 900 'for
the elevation. the betterment and the
happiness Of mankind" It's patriotic
purpose was made manifest when In
the outbreak Of the Spanish war the
uniform rank Of the order rendered it's
entire membership to President Nc
Kinley, himself a member Of the order.
It's auxiliary order the Pythian Sis
ters is most effectively useful in a very
quiet and unassuming fashion, not only
among the membership Of the Pythians
but in general way. Altogether the
golden jubilee Of the K. Of P. is one to
be noted and assisted generally.
It would be extremely nard to make
a reasonably accurate estimate of the
wide helpfuIness and ready assistance
given by fraternal orders in the United
States. We are nation Of "joiners"
Somehow we Americans like the
dramatism OF the lodge and the ritual
istic work, the nodding plumes and the
glitter Of peaceful swords. But be-
meath all the gorgeous apparel, under
the sheen OF imitation armor, below the
chapeaux and beyond the pomp and
circumstance Of parade lies the moving
impulse strong in brotherhood and the
sincere desire and purpose to guide
guard and protect fraternally each
other. to afford shelter to the depend
ent, to dry the tears on the faces Of
widows and orphans, and relieve suf-
fering and want. The spirit Of the
