a PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY.
Will Be Held i'm Iowa for First Time
Next April.

81 Along with their speculation con-
corning the state primary, politi-
clans are beginning to take an inter-
est in the presidential primary,
which will be held In Iowa next
year for the first time, says the Des
Moines Register and Leader.
Al The presidential primary will come
on April 10. At it, according to the
laws passed by the Thirty-fifth gem
Ieral assembly, the voters of each par
ty will elect the delegates and alter
mates to their respective party ma
tional conventions, the national
committeeman for each party, and
delegates to the county conventions.
The number of delegates to be
elected will be determined according
to the call sent out by the national
committee of each party.
The law makes provision for the
manner in which candidates for dele
gate shall file their papers and get
their names on the ballot. The bal
lot will carry two questions, Shall
the district delegates be Instructed
by the vote of the state at large"
and "Shall the district delegates be
instructed by the vote Of the con-
gressional district" and upon the
decision Of these questions will rest
the course the delegates will take in
the convention.
The early date of the presidential
primary will make the campaign for
presidential nominations the first
feature Of political activity in Iowa
next year. In former years the
delegates to national conventions
have always been selected in the
state convention for that purpose by
delegates chosen under the old eau
Gus system. Installation of the new
system will mark the passing of an
other of the few remaining remind
ers Of the old system of caucus rule
III politics.
Additional of the presidential pri-
mary will also give Iowa a total of
three statewide elections in the one
year. The primary on state officers
will follow in June and the general
presidential, state and local elections
vii come in November.

Think 1t Over.
remote

The weekly newspaper promotes
the interests of the town in which
it is published to such an extent that
it becomes impossible to place an es-
innate upon it's worth. There is no
enterprise that does so much for the
corporation or the individual citizen
as the paper. It. stands opposed to
the town knocker, the town kicker,
the town fanatic and the town
drones. 1t stands for action as
against dry rot. 1t stands for pro-
gress as against stagnation. 1t is
ever ready to combat the schemes
of Missionaries and as ready to aid
the constructive plans of the wise
and level headed citizens. 1t is for
the upbuilding of the community.
The paper has not yet come unto it's
own, however, because it is never
appreciated to the extent of it's
worth by the people at large. Yet
when battles are to be fought for
newspaper office always to find the
loyal editor ready, frequently with
out hope Of reward Many other
enterprises are encouraged by a
bonus, but rarely is the newspaper
offered any such help and still more
often not given the support it is en-
titled to. Communities frequently
lose sight of their real benefactor
when they fail to recognize the
weekly journal as such. The editor
and his paper stand as the bulwarks
of defense against the attacks Of evil
or designing scenes affecting the
good of the individual or the town.
For these and other reasons the
newspapers of the town and county
should receive the support Of the
public at large in a very liberal de-
portant business enterprise OF the

Homemade Lace.

The story comes pretty straight,
says the Red Oak Express, though
not quite direct enough to warrant
the mention of any names. A certain
merchant went home recently, as he
is in the habit of going home when
ever he gets hungry, and he had no
sooner got into the house than his
wife rushed to him with an armful
OF the most beautiful lace which
ever trimmed the lingere Of a
bride or 4 debautant, and then
she went on to explain. "Why just
think she explained, this lovely
handmade lace, worth 81 a yard for
only csc! The woman wanted 75c
per yard for it, but jewed' her
did you buy, Susie? - asked the inter
.ested hubby, as he examined the
lace. "All she had left-seven
yards,' replied his enthusiastic bet
Iter-half. We'll, I'm sorry to inform
you that you just lost -. 40 on your
deal. sold that lace to some wonn-
an at the store this morning for DC
per yard land I'd have made even q
better price than that to you" After
the lady Of the house had recovered
from her swoon they compared notes
ON the peddler's description and she
proved to be the same woman who
had cleaned the merchants store Of
this particular style Of lace, which
BY scientific use Of the scissors,
trimming out some OF the "mAchiny-
looking" threads, was made to look
like the real stun. Wonder how
many ladies' of the city Nere stlng?

Pensions and Preaching.

The churches will only be paying
a debt of honor when they establish
an adequate pension fund for aged
ministers.
: The young man who wishes to
study for the ministry finds the way
made easy for him. He can get with
out money and without price the
best known education in his chosen
calling. Scholarships and endOW-
ments carry him over the rough
places; and if he shows character,
Intelligence and devotion, he need
not worry about the financial side of
life until he graduates.
Then his monetary troubles begin.
He has been warned long before
that preaching is not intended to be
a money making profession, but it is
impossible that he should realize in
advance the economies he will be
called on to practice.
He must maintain the outward APP
pearance Of a Well-to-do gentleman
on the income of an unskilled labor.
If he be protestant, the unwritten
law requires him to marry-not
that he needs much urging as a rule
and to bring up a moderate sized
family. He must not engage in any
imoney-making occupation in his
spare hours, if he should be so for
tunate as to have spare hours. In
some denominations he most move
to a. new field" every few years; a
rule which not only increases his di-
rect expenses but imposes the indi-
rect charge of learning the market
and living conditions of each new
locat ton.
The miracle is that most clergy
men manage to meet these seeming
" impossible conditions. A country
preacher is the worlds prize econ
omistalways excepting his wife.
But with all his enforced skill in
making one dollar do the work of
three, he must live from day to day.
Not one minister in q hundred has a
salary sufficient to enable him to
make adequate provision for his old
age The only fair and logical
course is for the church (which he
serves to make that provision for
him. Chicago Journal.

Fame and John Bunny.

Millions of persons no doubt will
mourn the loss of John Bunny to
whom the death of Prince or
Prime Minister would be a matter
of Indifference. A discriminating
London critic a year ago called him
the most famous man in the world
and the reels upon reels of films that
have since then displayed his expan-
med his renown.
Bunny was competent actor of
comedy roles in the regular drama
for years, yet unknown to one in a
thousand of those who subsequently
came to know and admire him
through the movies. The advent OF
the film drama found him peculiarly
ly we'll endowed for the new art of
acting without words. The range of
his facial expression was altogether
wonderful, and when the emotion of
the moment had told it's story in
his features there was nothing left
for the words to do. The London
Saturday Review once said:
"When Mr.. Bunny laughs, people
from San Francisco to Stepney
Green laugh with him. When Mr..
Bunny frowns, every kingdom of the
earth is contracted in one brow of
woe. When he smells piece of
Gorgonzola cheese, there is no doubt
whatever that his nose has been SER
iously offended. His despair is in
credible. His grief is uncomfortable.
His wrath is apoplectic. His terror
is the panic of the whole army"
The movies gave him a unique
fame, and he in turn gave to the
movies a talent for entertainment
which helped nightly in justifying
their reason for existence.
