THE PRESIDENTS POPULARITY

We do not wish to DISCOURAGE
President Wilson, hut 1t is evident
that the sweetest part OF his term
has passed The linger he lives IN
office, the more friends will ne
estrange.--Perry Sentinel.
No man in high office who is worth
his salt can administer il without
making enemies; nor can he hope to
enforce the dictates Of his best
Judgment and be true to his con
science without antagonizing some
ambitions and interests. The Presl-
dent is just now experiencing
severe test Of his courage and con-
slstency and finds arrayed against
his canal policy some Of the most
influential democrats in congress.
But we believe he will emerge from
the trial stronger than ever before.
and that any loss Of prestige result
ing from the struggle will not be his.

A TEST OF AMERlCANiSM.

The president of the University Il
Iowa has resigned because of the IN
triision of politics into the manage :
ment of the institution.
Politicians in Iowa, as in some
oher commonwealths. do a good deal
of talking about the Peepul and the
Peepul's rule.
Well. now, what do the Peepul oi
Iowa propose to do about the resl2-
nation of President Bowman? com
ments the Chicago Record.
Here is an issue more vital to a
state than railroad domination or
the trust. Do the people OF iowa
realize this? If they do not there Is
something radically wrong with them
as a people worthy Of free institu-
tions." If the people do not care or
do not know how to defend the peo-
iple's universities, they deserve what
they will most certainly get by rea-
son of the enslavement of these instl-
tNthons namely, nothing less than
their own enslavement.
Iowas action upon President Bow
mans resignation is a test OF Iowa $
intelligence and Amerilanism.
There are signs that Illinois may
have to meet this test. Wherefore
we are watching events in our neigh
bor state with especial interest. Bnt
SO will every intelligent American
throughout the country, for 1t IS
high test of essential Americanism N
a commonwealth proud of it's place
among the states, Of its wealth ana
inclusive prosperity, Of its schools
and colleges.
If Americanism is dying in such
state il is the worst Of omens.

EDUCATION AND GOOD RoAr 5

One of the speakers at a good -
convention in Fort Worth rece
declared that there are 10000 III
educated children in Texas ''wno
have never entered a school house
In addition to the 10000 who neter
have attended school the speaker
said there are 200 600 absente As
from many sessions" Bad roads un
questionably are responsible for much
absenteeism in the rural schools. t
may be az open question whether the
fact that $4,000 ler-s children do
not attend school At all Is attribnt
able to bad roads. There are many
children who do not like to 10
school, and there are Others who do
not go because of poverty or other
ADVERSE conditions. Such as these
would not likely be influenced by the
roads

PATIENCE
Be patient With you2s.
When the STOPPING Sky.
Leans down upon the hills
And tenderly, as one who soothing

An anguish gathers earth to lie
Embraced and girded no the sun

Feel patience then?
Be patient with you?
When the snow girt earth
Cracks to let through spurt
or sudden green, and from the muddy
dirt
A snowdrop leaps, how mark its
worth
To eyes frost hardened, and do weary
Feel patience then?
BE patient with you?
When pains iron bars
Their rivets tighten, stern
TO bend and break their victims, as
they turn,
Hopeless, there stand the purple
| OF night to spill oblivion. DO these
men
Feel patience then?

The Fall of the Year


When the rain is gently falling.
And the flowers are in bloom,
When the mother birds are calling
For their little ones to come;
When the sun is brightly shining,
And the clouds are floating by,
When the birds are bravely singing
As they hear the children cry,
When the mother birds are calling
To their little ones below,
When they think OF flying southward
Where they're sheltered from the
snow
When the cold is here at last,
And the snow begins to fall,
When the birds are flying southward.
This IS what we call Fall-Pearl
