UNFAIR AND UNWORTHY COMMENT.

The Sioux city Journal says that if
Cosson is such fine attorney and
Thorne such a fine railroad commits
sioner. why disturb them to make gov
errors out OF them? Why not find an
other man who will make a governor Of
the same kind? The Journal misses
the point of personal aspirations
Politicians always want better Of
fee. 1t is not where they can serve
the people best or most, but where they
can shine the most and strut around
the most-Cedar Rapids Republican.
The comment of the Cedar Rapids
paper Is unfair and unjust to the men
who are under discussion. Neither is
of the type which has been favored and
supported by that newspaper but both
are men who have proved their worth
as public servants and men of high
character in and out of office and who
may properly aspire to the governor

the voters for services rendered. Meth.
| er is classed as q mere politician by the
public or by publicists. Both have beer
most serviceable. Both have estab-
lished regulations for sincerity, hon
esty in office, capacity. Moreover ther,
is a very strong sentiment that amount
to urgency behind the tentative can
| didacy OF each Of them.
1t is too early for candidates. for tn

IT LOOKS LIKE VOTES FOR WOMEN.

The equal suffra gists are looking
forward with confidence to the COM
ing legislature. They see the amend
ment coming out to feminine victory.
There is every probability that their
confidence will be justified and their
fond hope fulfilled The last legisla
ture approved suffrage. II was an i'm
portant plank in the republican plat
form and this is a republican legis-
lature
Still the suffragists should keep busy
with their propaganda. There will be
strong opposition to the amendment
from powerful interests. No: that thesa
interests are as powerful in Iowa as in
some other states but nevertheless
powerful and active. To be sure Iowa
has no grape growing and wine MAX
ing industries as have California and
Ohio. On the contrary the strong tenn
perance sen timent of the state favors
woman suffrage as an added strength
to the temperance movement. But at
that there Will be plenty doing secretly
and openly against votes for women in
Iowa. For equal rights on a saloon pc
tition OF every citizen over y means
the immediate departure of the saloon
from the cities where it is now in
trenched with the possible exception of
Dubuque. And those interests viii fight
for their lives.
However the sentiment Of Iowa is for
woman suffrage. If the women and
the equal suffragists can get the
amendment out of the assembly the
referendum will 90 the rest. The voters
are ready 20 grant full Suffrage to
women. That is one OF .he many SEN
siole conclusions reached by tfls voters
Of Iowa during the past ten years.

THE KILLED. WOUNDED AND MISSING.

Somebody has made the estimate
that Germany has lost in killed and in
capacitated 10000 men during the war
However close or far away from the
facts il IS likely that the losses Of the
other nations have Appropriated that
Of Germany. Germany in her forward
movement no doubt suffered the
severest because the attacking force
always loses most But Germany on
the defense behind trenches should
equalize that In the eastern theater
1t is safe 10 assume that losses have
been nearly equal
But suppose all told that the allies
and Germany and Austria and the
smaller nations have lost by death
and wounds and disease three times
Germany's estimated losses 100000
men. That would take out OF the &C.
Invites of this country, were IL our
loss, all the men Of Iowa and Illinois
with probably Minnesota, Nebraska,
Kansas and Michigan thrown in to
balance. 1t would sweep Iowa clean
Of every human being in it except the
100000 Of Des Moines left alone in the
center. II would take every person
out OF Alabama and leave it a deserted

100000 persons OF all ages in California.
And those with a taste for figures and

tons.

losses. II requires q years to grow a

The Strawpile
Worked to Death.

A few months ago q prosperous fa1.
mer committed suicide upon the farm
that he had cultivated all OF these
years The neighbors who had watched
hin SOW and reap and kept in touch
with his movements and methods were
not surprised when the sad announce
Ynent Of his untimely death was made.
The tragedy Of this mans death was
not in the rash act itself but in the
years that led up to the fatal hour.
The neigibors knew that he was sim
ply working himself to death. He had
reached a point where he thought he
might rest but the prodding OF life
time of vigorous action was 30 intense
that he could not reconcile himself to
a life of inactivity. When he would
relax his efforts he imagined that things
were going wrong and that he must
again get into the harness. And So.
wearied OF toll and care. ne sought
death by his own hand.
There are many such cases scattered
all over this fair land. Some men ana
women upon the farms are Simply
working themselves to death and DO
not realize the fact. They work in
cessantly in order to gain a competen-
CIV that will permit them to retire when
che shadows begin to 1engtflen as the
sun slowly sinks behind the western
hills but when they reach that point
health is broken and the habits formed
during the years Of activity are 80
domineering that they are dissatisfied
with idieness and unable longer ia
work they become an easy prey to the
Grim Reaper.
Statistics show that the life Of the
average retired farmer is Ave years

GREELEY SAID IT. ANYWAY.

Mason City Times.1
Who was it that said Go west,
young man?'' The phrase has often
been credited to Horace Greeley but he
was not the first to use it and once de-
MED that he said it. It was written by
John B. l.. Soule, brilliant young man.
who edited the Terre Haute Express in
1s51-53 On one occasion Col. Richard
W. Thompson of Terre Haute, advised
him to go west and grow up with the
country, adding: Why, John, you could
write an article that would be attrib-
uted to Horace Greeley II you tried"
Soule modestly doubted it, but Thomp-
son insisted and Soule promised to try.
The result was an article in the Ex-
press on the opportunities offered to
young men by the west. which began
by saying that Horace Greeley could
never have given better advise than
that contained in the words, Go west
young man 1t was a suppositious
quotation from Greeley. but the article
was copied and pretty soon the suppo-
si'ious phrase was attributed to Greeley
himself. And it had received wide cir
culation the New York Tribune came
out with reprint of the Express ar
ticle accompanied by foot note by
Greeley. saying that he was nc the
author OF the expression. but he fully
Endorsed it and Joined in saying, go
west young man, go west."-Indian-
apolis News.
The story which the Indianapolis
News prints is very plausible, but the
fact remains that Horace Greeley did
give that advice to Josiah B. Grinnell.
the founder of the beautiful city In
Iowa which bears his name. that Mr..
Grinnell followed the advice and pur-
chased 5000 acres OF land in Iowa, or
ganized a colony of high grade eastern
ers and started the most f1ourlshing
community in the west. When Horace
Greeley lectured in Iowa he was intro
duced to his old friend J. B. Grinnell,
who gave him full credit for the phrase,
and Mr. Greeley did not deny II. In
] fact he boosted that SO fine a commune
/ ity and college come from the advice
he had given. J. e. Grinnell was born
| in Vermont. He became Congrega-
/ tional minister and occupied pulpits in
Washington, d. c., and New York City.
He was the first minister to deliver an
anti slavery sermon in Washingto ton
the capital of the nation. On account
of a throat trouble he was compelled to
give up preaching. Looking for some
thing to do he sought the advice OF
Horace Greeley. and was told to go
west and grow up with the country. II
the News has doubts of the accuracy
of the statement let the editor OF that
paper happen in on the town of Grim
nell and deny this claim.

Warm Water For Dairy Cows.

Do not forget that the cows and
calves need water during the winter

fact that IL the water 10 much below

that a COW can do well at milk pro-
duction drinking cold water thru q

think that she can produce milk when
eating only corn stalks. Milk is about

WANT PERMANENT ROADS.

lMateriOO IlmeS- IrlDuHe.1
Practical good roads enthusiasts
have had difficult time trying to con-
vince Iowa people that good roads
would pay for themselves many times
over. Specialists in the employ of the
government have found as above.
Iowa has preferred to allow other
states to take the lead in establishing
hard roads and paying for them by
state, county or road bonds. with as
sessment against AUDITING property for
part pay. Iowa must soon be con-
WINGED that its road laws are disgrace
and provoke such waste of money
and effort as should startle a commun-
ity not quite SO conservative and halt
ing. Iowa will be convinced that good
roads are absolutely necessary and
that the way TO get good roads Is to
put money into making them perma-
nent, not wasting 1t in dragging and
piiing dirt around to blow and be
washed away. No state can better at
ford TO put money into permanent
roads than Iowa. No state state wastes
so much money on Its roads as Iowa.

Sudden Death in . siIe.

A recent fatal accident in Ohio calls
attention to danger to farmers which
can not be too widely circulated. Since
1875, when the American silo was
built by Dr.. Manley Miles, this meth
cd Of preserving forage for livestock
has been generally adopted. Although
the department OF agriculture has fire.
quently called attention to the danger
of carbon dioxid gas accommodating in
silos under certain conditions, no fatal
tiles have been reported heretofore.
On the morning OF Sept. 10. four work
men on the farm of the Athens fOnioI
state hospital, assembled the ladder on
the outside Of silo to an open door
about twelve feet from the top and
umped down one after another onto the
silage, the top OF which was about six
feet below the door About five min
utes after. two other workmen follow
ing them found them unconscious. AL
though large force OF workmen were
Immediately summoned and the bodies
OF the four men removed at once thru
a lower door. the physicians OF the
hospital who were at once on the
ground were unable to resuscitate any
of the four men. Evidently the car
bon dioxide bad accumulated during
the night. filing the silo UP to the
level Of the door and forming layer
OF carbon dioxide gas six feet deep.
Such accidents, says the Journal of the
American Medical Association. might
easily be repeated on any modern farm
Agricultural Journals should call the
attention Of the farmers to this danger
and should urge that silos be carefully
ventilated before being entered.
