"Coiumbia."

She's standing at the parting of the
ways,
To right, to left, she turns her search
ing gaze;
She's standing. in her strong and
clean-souled youth,
Silently waiting for the dawning truth.
For she must choose the armor of her
might.
And she must choose the captain OF
her fight,
And she must follow, on her chosen
path.
The God Of love--or the wild god of
wrath.
And one would grid her with flam-
ing sword,
And one with His unconquerab Bile
word.
My country, or my country, arm thy
youth
With honor and invulnerable truth:
Yea, follow 20 Il great and lofty goal
The God o. Love-the captain of thy
soul.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

| The Des Moipes Register thinks tina
by withdrawing from the cabinet "Mr.
Bryan introduced the splendid English
custom into this country of leaving Of
flee when out of harmony. When the
present war opened. John Burns and
two other conspicuous members of the
English ministry resigned their posts,
and they were not critized. Not only
that, but later number Of other mem
berS were asked to resign in order that
a coalition ministry might be formed
to strengthen the government for the
prosecution OF the war. Leaving an
office when cut of harmony with
the purpose of the administration
strengthens the government rather
than weakens it,

the counter, talking over the situation
frankly with every man of good BUSH

mands that the man with a lot of soft
corn and no live stock be helped to

TESTIMONY OFFERED.
Nevada Representative

The Marshalltown Times epublican
takes note of the Representatives as
surance that that paper has been mis-
taken in classifying Mr.. Kuehnle as
wet" but it insists that 1t wants to
hear directly from Mr. Kuehnle him
self upon this proposition, as well
perhaps as on some other propositions.
With this desire we do not think we
shall take issue. We would accord to
a candidate for a high office choice OF
his own time and manner in making
any formal declarations of public pol
10y and we would also justify 1t If he
should decline to become involved IN
too detailed discussions; but we agree
with the Times Republican thar the
question OF law enforcement Is one or
the questions a candidate should meet
fairly and seasonably in this state at
this time. The essential matter as to
which we still disagree with the Times
Republican Is that. though 1t employs
language of politeness in it's demand
for official information. yet it appears
still to entertain the idea that Mr.
Kuehnle will be embarrassed by the
question We do not think he will be
so embarrassed There is. moreover.
another angle to the matter. which has
had something to do with our discus
sion so far and which may gain added
point later on. That is that neither
newspapers nor the public necessarily
receive al their face value the profess
sions and promises Of candidates For
example. II Mr.. Harding were to swear
on a stack OF bibles as high as the
dome OF the state house that he as
governor would enforce the prohib-
tory law without fear or favor and
with all OF the means that might be
available and necessary. the Times
Republican would not believe him,
and neither would we. In other words
a candidates words, II they are really
to count, have to be backed up by his
reputation and character, and 1t was
in consonance with this philosophy
that we were offering to the Times
Republican our testimony that 1t had
made mistake in classifying Mr..
Kuehnle as wet" We are not
quarreling with the Times Republican
about the matter nor seeking to drive
that paper into a hole. 1t Is evident
that the Times Republican is not well
acquainted with Mr.. Kuehnle and that
it has from some circumstance re-
ceived an incorrect impression con-
corning him. We will add that II MT.
kuehnle were the sort of man that
the Times Republican was at first in
clined to regard him. we would no
more support him for governor than
the Times Republican would: but the
truth is that the editor of the Repre-
sentative roomed with Mr.. Kuehnle in
college as far back as 1882 and has
maintained with him quite close rela-
lions during all the intervening years,
and = :: mnnn such association that
this paper predicates its renewed as
surance to the Times-Republican that
that paper has Mr.. Kuehnle sized up
wrong. We do not ask the Times-Re-
lublican to desist from it's call for Of
fetal information: but when 1t shall
get the same we do hope that 1t wiz
accord credit thereto,

JUST A PORK" POLITICIAN.
Sioux City Jouruall


Champ Clark has again given dem
onstration Of the wisdom of his party
in not selecting him as it's presidential
candidate in 1912. In speech upon
the subject CT river Improvements at
St. Louis he shows himself to be a
thorough going "norls her-er politician
and a sectional demagog. According
to the Associated Press report, he said:
If an appropriation is for the i'm
provement OF Ohio. Pennsylvania New
York or New England waters it is a
patriotic expenditure, but if the appro-
pration is to be used in Iowa, Missouri
or ArkansaS; OF that region, it is pork.
The cheap demagogy Of this is at
once apparent in this fact: whoever
has opposed pork barrel" appropriate
tons has opposed those for eastern
rivers and harbors quite as earnestly
as he has opposed those for the Mis-
souri, valley states. AS an illustration,
and refutaton Of Sneaker Clark's
claptrap. Senator Burton vigorously
opposed and defeated pork" appro-
priation Of 100000 for the harbor Of
Cleveland, o., his home city, and Sena-
tor Kenyors hardest fights were d.
rected against Atlantic coast projects
involving millions OF pork"
The cheap demagogy Of Clark is at
once apparent in this additional fact:
every advocate of pork wants all the
sections Of the country represented in
the barrel" SO that log rolling and
swapping Of votes will be the easier.
For that rea son, advocates Of pork"
for eastern states are not only willing
but anxious not merely anxious but
insisten., that western states be given
liberal supplies Of pork" in order to
get the western congressman and sem
ators in line. The proof of this IL
found in the inspection OF any and
every pork barrel bill that has been
introduced.
If Clark were a statesman instead
of an old fashioned, pork" swapping
politician, he would have told his st.
Louis audience that no pork is
patriotic expenditure OF money, and
that he as speaker OF the national
house of representatives. would not
countenance any raids upon the ma
tional treasury by pork" hunters OK
any section, east or west.

Topics of the Times

Seems like a few quick firers on the
ridges This side of the Rio Grande
could be used to discourage raids by
bodies Of .Iexicans and give the artil-
lerists a little touch of preparations.
The Charles City Press is still ghost
dancing Vi, th..c Old battlefield of Gum
Minis and anti Cummins. Like an
ancient Sioux warrior might prance

Knee. Somebody should inform the
esteemed Charles City contemporary
that the war is over.
Some fol,.s seem slow to understand

ness proposition. When Mr.. Harding
or anybody else whispers to the Iowa
farmer that good roads advocates are
slipping up to him to confiscate his
farm with brick boulevards on every
cross road the farmer grins and winks
his other eye. He is by way of good
roads advocate himself and he knows
that he Isn't a plaything for anybody
not even those who would use him as
an asset in a governorship campaign
The hardest thing for professional
politician to understand is that the
farming population has grown out of
the infant class.
AS to that billion dollar loan the
borrowers are lucky, with their line Of
credit, to get half of it.
Perhaps John D. Jr., will explain

fhe premises should ne thoroughly
cleaned. all Litter burned and the
houses disinfected. If the cleaning and
the disinfecting 10 done in a thorough
painstaking manner this infected farm
will not long be a source OF infection
and danger.
The hogs on farms Immediately sur
rounding the infected farm should be
vaccinated by the simultaneous
method
All herds in the community should
be carefully observed and any indica-
ton of sickness should be investi-
gated at once by competent veteri-
marian. apd II the outbreak is spread
ing, the herds should be Immediately
Ivaccinatsd and treated as described.
Adequate dosage should be employed.
One-half v. C. Of serum per pound of
body weight is the dose recommended
for all pigs weighing 100 pounds or
less. On large animals an increase OF
twenty c. for every 100 pounds in
creased weight is recommended.
AS stated above, the dosage for the

Pigs weighing less than fifty pounds
should NOT be vaccinated, but should
receive a protective dose of serum,

for this recommendation is that small
pigs outgrow the immunity conferred
by vaccination.-Dr. Clink, in Farm

1t and the moro 30 whom II n called
preferred stock" This usually does
NOS give them any share In the man
agSn1ent Of the paper. It means simply
q higher rate of interest than usual,
but with no obligation to pay 1t. We
have never yet known farmer to buy
stock in an agricultural Newspaper
buying either common or preferred
stock-whose hopes were realized. Let
1t be borne In mind by the farmer that
under the corporation laws common in
the west, the majority Of the stock
not of the stockholders and
that IL he II q minority stockholder he
is absolutely at the mercy Of the ma
jority.
Farmers may safely take stock in q
! creamery or elevator in their own
neighborhood. and particularly so IL
stockholders. each having but one vote,
no matter how many shares he NAV
have. This IL 30 closely connected
with his own business, that he can
watch It.
Up to certain extent the best in
vestments for the farmer are on his
o farm. There is not one farm in
ten In the corn belt that 10 adequately
improved. that is, improved In such
way as to make It do it's best. There
are lands to be drained, fences to be
built: there are improvements to be
made in houses and barns.
If the farmer has spare money to
invest, he may safely invest it in the
bonds Of the very best railroads. In
times of depression. he may safely in
vest in the stocks Of these best rail-
roads, provided he does not buy as
speculator. but as an investor.
The safest investment Is in mort
gage on farm in his own neighbour
hood, and the best investment is loan
to a worthy young man Of high char
acter. industry and intelligence, who is
trying to get a farm Of his own. Mr..
Morgan said that he loaned on char
acter, and that should be true every
where If a corporation is not run by
men of good character, 1t is not safe
to touch at any price. Notice the
wrecks of the great Rock Island and
the Alton-splendid railroads, but
wrecked because they got into the
hands Of men who were dishonest.
It is always a good plan to keep your
Investments absolutely within your own
control. or In corporations under the
control Of friends in whom you have
confidence; but even friends will bear
watching. The farmer may safely in
vest in good land at a low price.
whether buying or selling. the aim of
the companies Is to give the highest

Is a certain amount Of danger In the
