inescapable punishment for it. The
rich man who is idle degenerates,
loses all the pleasures of life, seeks
vainly for amusement that he never
finds, and the poor man who re-
mains idle suffers in comfort and
agreeable associations in like man
ner.
A man cannot quit work simply
because he has attained a compe-
tence without suffering this punish
ment. That is proven by the fate
of many farmers who have become
rich through the rise in the price
of land. They seldom live very
long. Formerly the business man
expected to retire when about SO
years of age. Now a great many
men about 60 are doing the most
effective work of their lives, while
those who have retired go hobbling
about without any interest in life.
They are suffering the punishment
that nature administers to the idle.

THE SIN OF IDLENESS.

Omaha World-Herald: There is
a class of agitators who talk great
deal about the idle rich, and their
talk has been reflected in the press.
They would do well to turn their
attention for while to the idle
poor. There are idle rich and there
are idle poor, both equally detri-
mental to the welfare of the nation.
An idle man, whether rich or poor,
is a parasite. There are many rich
who work with incessant zeal every
day in the year. They will not take
time to stop minute on the street
to converse with an acquaintance.
They are at their work every day
on the tick of the clock and often
work hours overtime. There are
men among the poor who toll in
cessantly and there are men among
both classes who shirk work of all
kinds.
Idleness is a sin, whether the man
is rich or poor, and there is always

AN OLD CROUCH.

We doubt if any other city in the
United States stands for the block
ing of the streets that Boone stands
for. For the entire summer many
of the main streets of this city have
been wholly closed to the public.
They are not all open yet. A patch
of asphalt finish, 6 or feet long,
has kept an important northside
street closed for block for week,
while apparently nothing was going
on in covering the concrete. For
la distance of three blocks from
Greene to Monona, Sixth street has
been closed for many weeks. There
are no indications that it will be
opened soon. Early in the summer
the important south side streets
were closed for weeks at time with
no apparent attempt to hurry the
asphalt laying.-Boone News-Re-
publican.
The editor of the News-Republi-
can must be developing an excess
sive bump of crouch. Here in Web.
ster City we have become so used to
having our streets out of commits
sion that we really like it. Some Of
our streets where sewers were put
in last summer and winter still re-
semble the rocky road to Dublin and
a number of streets where paving
has been in progress for so many
months that the oldest inhabitants
would not attempt to fix the date
are still closed. But nobody here Is
complaining. In fact we have be-
come so accustomed to this sort Of
thing that we really enjoy it and it
is quite a disappointment when we
find one of these streets where trav-
ell is actually normal. There is
nothing like being pleasant. If it
takes six months to lay block Of
pavement we ought to be thankful
that it is not six years. That is
the way Webster City feels about it
and most of our people are so over
joyed at long delays that they real
ly want to pay little extra for the
work, but the authorities will not
allow them to do so.

will not throw his hat into the ring.
If there is any forlorn hope leading
to be done the colonel. will permit
it to be done by Mr.. Beveridge or
somebody else, who needs the ad-
vertising for his lecture business.
Obviously Col. Roosevelt has
abandoned what never could have
been more than a faint glimmer of
hope that the progressive party can
do better than hold the balance of
power two years hence. Under the
most favorable circumstances there
will have to be coalition of the
forces in opposition to the admins
the republican party would be able
to dictate the terms. Would the
republican party be willing to ac-
cept Roosevelt as it's candidate and
adopt strong Roosevelt platform
in 1916 if such a course held
promise of restoration to power!
The emphasis with which the
colonel's overtures toward republic
fusion in New York
were rejected looks rather ominous.
That the republicans won three out
of four congressman, and came
within 5000 votes of electing a
governor in Maine in spite of third
party opposition is likely to argu-
ment the republican homecoming
movement Should the coming cleo
tions record third party setbacks
since 1912, republican self reliance
is likely to be greatly strengthened
by 1916.
But even if the republicans
should be willing to go into a
fusion movement with Roosevelt as
it's candidate, the circumstances in
1916 may be such that the colonel
will not want to make the race.
if, for instance, the Wilson adj
ministration should be as strong
politically in 1916 as it is today
if Wilson's Mexican policy should
turn out well and if he should
cover himself with glory in the
European settlement--if the demo-
cratic tariff trust and financial
policies, plus it's war emergency
legislation should give popular
even a fusion nomina-
ton would not be of any great
value to a man who stood in no
need of advertising. The colonel
doesn't stand in any need of the
kind of advertising he would get by
taking anothe Kicking.
All things considered, it probab-
ly is true that Col. Roosevelt
doesn't believe he will be candi-
date in 1916. Whether or not he
will be need not, of course, decide
until the lay of the land is located
early in 1916.

r r. AND 1916.

Sioux City Journal: In letter
to a friend, evidently given out for
publication with authority, Col.
Roosevelt expresses both the hope
and the belief that he will not be a
candidate for the presidency in
1916. The colonel does not say that
under no circumstances will he be
candidate, nor would the express
sion be greatly strengthened If these
words had been used.
No doubt the colonel believes he
will not be a candidate in 1916.
One cannot be so sure as to the
hope, but it is easy enough to credit
the colonel with hope that he will
not be pestered to be candidate II
there is no hope whatever OF his
election. That the colonel does not
want to be a candidate for anything
merely for the purpose Of getting
whipped was indicated by his recent
remuneration of the New York gu
nomination when state
leaders and rank and file alike were
a virtual unit in believing his can
didacy essential to holding what
had been won in the way of party
organization.
Col. Roosevelt will be candidate
for a third term in 1916 If he can
see his way clear to obtaining a

will hold out any reasonable hope

A LESSON ON SANITATION.

Times-Republican: In the hospit-
al for the insane at Clarinda an act
i've epidemic of typhoid made its ap'
pearance few weeks ago. OF pa
tients and attendants the cases ran
to half a hundred. Only one person
has died, however, and the disease
is reported under control. The in
vestigation disclosed that case OF
typhoid had occurred on farm near
the spring whence the institution
draws its water supply and the con-
clusion was that the water had be-
come contaminated from this isolat-
ed case. The water was boiled and
chemically treated, the ice cut from
the neighborhood of the spring
sterilized and the epidemic waned
Immediately.
The lesson is not less for the in
dividual than for health boards. A
typhoid epidemic in this Gay Oh
general understanding or the prlnci-
pies of hygiene and the deadly char
acter of carelessness, is crime
pure and simple.
If some person thru carelessness
or design were to poison the wells
whence water is supplied to lesser
or larger number of people it is not
at all unlikely that a lynching
party would be formed to take the
law into it's own hands. The care
lessness and neglect that infects
water supply with typhoid germs is
scarcely less culpable than the care
lessness or elaboration that should
scatter arsenic in town well.
The winter is coming on. For
several months the offal and the
poisonous waste Of communities Will

Col. Roosevelt is making Hercu-
lean efforts to hold the remnant Of
the progressive party together until
after the fall elections, but the
European war news is so interesting
that the colonel is finding it difficult
to break in on the front page and
without the front page he cannot
hope to stay the onward march Of
republicanism and democracy. He is
making some rafting good speeches
and the average man will believe in
about nine-tenths of what he says,
but the average man does not share
in the belief that the progressive
party can accomplish anything of
moment than the defeat of the re-
publicans.
