"a box. And these were not the ever
bearing variety. They We're the
second crop from vines which bore
heavily in June. We can expect any
thing in Iowa this year.
And again this scribe must relieve
himself on the apple question. In AL
bion there's a storekeeper who also
has a small apple orchard Of the early
fall varieties This year there was so
little demand for apples, he did not
pick any for sale, only for home use.
Many barrels Of apples were not
picked as there was no home market.
The writer was in Albion when apples
could not be given away, and the next
day was in town a few miles away
where no cooking apples were for sale
and the only eating apples were
shipped-in Jonathans, two for a
nickel, or 60 cents a peck" Get the
facts to be repeated: All the apples
one wanted. say % cents bushel. on
the trees at Albion. Seven miles
away Jonathans, from New York, two
for a nickel. That's even worse than
for the Iowa farmer to sell fat COW
for or ) cents pound, ship the cow
to Chicago then ship back the pack
ing house hind quarter and have the
same farmer pay the local marketman
% cents pound for a steak off the
same COW. Undoubtedly this kind of
a deal has happened many times in
Iowa.

R,lEy's sIRrapAy.

If two poets were to be selected by
popular vote to represent the taste OF
! the American people Longfellow and
James Whitcomb Riley would be
chosen in the order their names are
written here. No American poet has
ever held the appreciation and liking
his people as did Longfellow; but
Riley living has 70 rival in the hearts
of the common people except Long
fellow, dead.
The one was product of the Nniver-
sites the other graduated into poetry
from the paint brush of mechanic.
The one lived in an atmosphere OF
letters at the seat Of the oldest col
lege in America in city celebrated the
world over for it's culture; the other
has spent his days in busting city
of the middle west among factories and
trade and noise of trade and commerce.
Yet both of them knew the hearts of
men and touched them with the finger
of tenderness and beauty.
When Riley sent his first contribu-
tons to the newspapers no doubt the
editors classified his verse as human
interest stuff That is what 1t IS.
The common readers of verse or prose
in this country are touched by COM
mon chord All that is plainly human
appeals TO them. They know and feel
the daily human impulses ana when
they are expressed in verse or prose
they approve and enjoy. Had Riley
been an European his quaint pictures
of humble homes and the dialect he
favors would have earned him the title
of the peasant poet" But there is no
American peasantry. Here home is
a home and when verse is touched
with the highligtts OF the love and
sacrifice and immortal hope that live
in every American home this common
American people take the poet to their
hearts and delight % honor him. And
so Riley won his way 10 fame ana
something tiner-the love OF whole
people. IL was so Ina Lon Stet'o
found the common heartily saying
for common people the things they felt
and struggled 10 express.
Perhaps there Is little that is great in
Riley's poems; but there IS something
Perhaps he lacks the
ethereal beauty of Tennyson. but ne
,ound something quite as beautiful
when he made the common loves and |
hopes and impulses the burden OF his !
songs. For these are beautiful in a
aovel or mansion and are not /
hanged wherever they may be housed /
Riley is more than popular poet. He (
$ an expression Of elemental and basic Z

of the home.

ROAD BONDING PLANS.

TIE Herald favors Just as good roads
as the people who pay for them are
willing 10 pay for. We favor a law al
lowing the voters 10 issue bonds in
regular bonding districts, not by coun-
ties however but by established rural
districts. This leaves the matter with
the voters where it ought TO be.-Grin-
nell Herald.
That plan IS all right with this eN-
ceptioa, the county should issue the
bonds upon It's superior credit and
thereby obtain the lower interest rate.
The county should then De empowered
70 apply upcr the bonds the districts
pro rata share OF county road and
bridge moneys and to assess the prop
erry within the district for its special
benefit. Townships should be auth
orlzsd TO constitute themselves special
districts and enjoy the
superior advantage of county credit in
the bond markets.

MR.. RuieHLY ON CORN.

New Providence, Oct. 3, 1915-Mar-
shalltown Times Republican, Dear Sirs
Thinking this is something that will
interest all parties concerned, not that
1t is a dollar in my pocket one way or
the other directly, but as l was on the
station platform this afternoon a man
got off one of the freight trains and
stated that he had several samples of
corn which he said was all out of the
way of the frost. Now whether he is
connected with any government reports
or any other institutions | can not say,
but I do say this much, that I have
been raising corn every year for the
last twenty years. have about thirty
seven acres on practically all new land
planted, not the earliest nor the lat
est, from which two years ago carried
of 50 in prizes at the Hardin county
fair. and I think that I have got the
earliest maturing corn l have had in
twenty years, and Will say that
one third of it, might be a little more,
is out of the way of the frost. Not only
that but there are ears yet that will
only make fairly good roasting ears.
He also stated that he had picked out
the poorest ears. Now. ! have no neigh
Dor nor have I heard but one man in a
radius of ten miles that said his corn
was out of the way of the frost.
! believe the farmer ought to be
protected as much as any man against
false reports There might be field
row and then that is out of the way
OF the frost but l have not heard OF
them.
Now. / am subscriber of your paper

my statements are exaggerated
or not. Yours respectfully.

contents. In recent interview pub
llshed in the Register and Leader, !
stated in substance that mo man has
a monopoly on law enforcement. Every
decent and honest citizen stands for
the strict enforcement Of the laws"
certainly thought l belonged to the
decent and honest citizen class. How
ever / authorize You to make speci-
tic statement in substance as follows:
MIR. Kuehnle states that he favors
the enforcement of all laws. the pro-
hibitory law included" Yours truly,
Carl F. Kuehnle.
We think that the foregoing letter
needs little IL any explanation. In
few quarters, and particularly in the
office Of the Marshalltown Times Re-
publican, there was at first an assump-
ton that Mr.. kuehnle, If elected gov
ernor, could not be relied upon as an
enforcer Of law: and when this as
sumption was challenged by friends Of
Mr.. Kuehnle they were advised that
their testimony was insufficient and
that direct expression from the can
didate would be more to the point.
The rejoinder Of Mr.. Kuehnle's friends
has been that the candidate would be
heard from and that the question
raised would not particularly embar-
rass him. This view Of Mr.. Kuehnle is,
we think, well supported by the letter
above. We do not know whether the
letter will satisfy those who have
raised the issue or not: but we at
least submit that Mr. Kuehnle and his
friends have done what there was for
them to do to meet the issue. 1t is also
fair to say and to reiterate that in
neither Mr.. Kuehnle's character nor his
was there warrant for at
tempting to put on him the wet" .ag.
He is not that sort of man.

RoRAH OUT OF IT.
[Des Moines Register. ]

interviewed by the Philadelphia
Public Ledger at Atlantic City, Sen
ator Borah reiterates his former state
ment that he is not a candidate fo- the
republican nomination and does not ex-
pect to be.
The Public Ledger thus reports
him:
Asked about reports mentioning
him as a possible candidate for the
republican presidential nomination, the
senator said he had nothing to add to
his statement made in May that he was
not a candidate and did not expect to
be-" !.
This would seem to leave the way
entirely clear for Senator Cummins in
the middle and even far west, for Sen
ator Borah speaks now in the full
knowledge of the Cummins candidacy,
and undoubtedly takes into account the
inevitable effect of removing his name
from consideration.
Nobody but Senator Borah has
been mentioned definitely enough to
warrant a movement for him in the
west, and there Is nobody in sight
who could have any hope to contest
with Senator Cummins in the conven-
ton, even IL he could secure home
Endorsement.
In this connection the significance
OF the editorial comment OF the Pub
lie Ledger on the reunion Of the pro-
gressives and republicans in Massa-
chusetts should not be lost: ITO
hold as well as win back republicans
of progressive type the republican
party must not only put progressivism
into it's platform. but 1t must make as
| its standard bearers men who hold
progressive opinions"
