THE INSPIRATION OF THE
SOUL.

lido not care if you are a bank,
er-you may follow it where yoo
will-but the man who gets the
closest to the soil. along with
other intellectual powers, is the
greatest man in every commun-
ity.
True enough, the man who digs
in the ditch all of the time will
be as narrow as the ditch. But
show me the man who stays be
hind the counter all the time, and
I will show you a man who gets
as narrow as the distance be-
tween the shelves and his coun-
ter. Show me the man, whatso'
ever the profession or occupation
that goes into the suburbs OF q
city, builds himself home with
a plot of ground about it, with a
garden,a miniature farm as I
were, who takes an interest IN Il
and occasionally digs in the soil
and l will show you a man IN ev
cry community who is the oracle
Of that community, who controls
it's destiny Show me the woman
who takes a personal interest II
her flowers and garden, studies
them. and occasionally digs in tht
dirt and / will show you a wo
man that is healthy, happy, {
good housewife. Show me a hel
that scratches in the dirt, and
will show you the hen that lay
the egg. Such is the eternal dl
vine decree. Agriculture? i
is not narrowing. If man wants
to be a statesman. how can n
legislate on a tariff bill unless h
knows those troubles and dlfh
culties that confront the cottol
farmer. the wheat farmer. and ev
cry other farmer in the Republic
When he gazes in the air an'
never looks down he lives a dr can
life. that either makes of hin
great professional man, or fail
mo in his ambition. a vagabont

NaturaliZed at 1J Years.

Mrs. Mary Arduser, aged 10, of
Monticello was naturaliZed as a citi-
zen of the United States in the dis
trict court by Judge Milo Smith last
week. Mrs. Arduser took this step
in order that she might prove up on
a claim which she homesteaded in
South Dakota some few months ago.
She had already taken out her first
papers in South Dakota a number of
years ago. Mrs. Arduser has been
a resident of Monticello for the
greater part of her life, coming here
from Germany while a young wo-

The editor will have to pay the Sec
ond installment this month. and next
year he will have to do it over again.
It's matter of some Importance.
Now John. let's sit down and talk
this matter over. If the editor will
vote for you, and if enough other vot-
ers in the district will vote for you
to give you the election. what will you
do to cut down the editors taxes?
Would you have his % cents poll
tax RENTED? You will have nothing
to do with that? Then let's try some
thing else
Would you come to Harlan and la
Dor with the city council to have them
reduce the electric light tax. or the
water tax. or the city tax? You
wouldn't? That's bad for the town
part Of this tax bill is $2709
Would you. then. care to interview
the school board and ask them to re-
duce the school tax? You wouldn't?
That's bad again. for the school part
of this tax bill is S32.SS.
OF course. John, you would be will
ing to see the board of supervisors
and ask them to reduce county taxes.
Being state senator and a friend Of
the people YOU wouldn't refuse to do
them a little favor like that? You
couldn't do anything? Too bad, John
The county's share of that tax hill ia
1894 And there's only S5.OS left on
which you have a chance left to save
the editor something These are state
taxes, and you surely will help some
on them.
Well. what will you do, John? Will
you cut off the SO cents for agricul,
tural college extension work? or the
81 cents for the improvement of the
state institutions? or the 10 cents for
the Teachers college? or the 20 cents
Tor the State Agricultural college? or
the 20 cents for the State university?
Speak up, John We are getting anx
ious to know how much you are going
to save us. When you make up your
mind what you are going to do about
these little items let us know.
~" viii save 10 tue % cents cdD-
itol extension tax? All. John, you sly
rascal. that tax is already levied for
next year and after that there won't
be any more. You are trying to fool
US.
This leaves. John, only $500 cents
of state taxes. How much of that will
you cut off? What will you do to cut
it off? The state government must go
right along.
Come, John. answer a few of these
questions. The editor wants to know
how much taxes you are going to save
him and how you are going to do it,
Unless you can give satisfactory an
swers to few of these questions, tell
ing how and where you are going to
save state expense, the editor will con-
clude you are trying to get his vote
and the votes of others under false
pretenses.

NOTE THE EIGURES

When any democrat approaches you
tn undertake to poison your mind
against republican officials with the
usual misstatements about railroad
assessments, just remember that as a
matter of fact and of history the state
executive council in 1913 gave to rail
road property in Iowa the biggest
boost it ever received in any one year,
that the increase was over fifty million
dollars over the previous year, and the
value was for the first time distributed
strictly according to law. If your Of,
fee seeking friend has any story that
doesn't fit In with this plain fact, you
can set him down as fraud The
facts should be adhered to.

A COMPARISON

II the pork bill" which the admin,
istration at Washington sought to
force through congress had not been
headed off by Senator Kenyon and
other republicans it would have sad
died on the people an expenditure
greater per capita than the state taxes
in Iowa per capita. In other words,
what the democrats at Washington
wanted to do merely to throw a sop
to voters here and there and to make
fat jobs for contractors and others
would have cost the people Of Iowa
as much as the entire state tax an
nually. And yet these same democrats
are pleading to be given chance at
the state treasury of Iowa.
