JUDGE WADE'S CANDIDACY FOR

Lne eaeral bench maze vacant by
eue aeaJh OF the late smith Mcfher-
son: ~
Martin j. Wade Of Iowa City has
anuOuncea that ne Will De a candl-
ua,e lor Inc posltlOn OF federal Judge
III The southern iowa district, to
succeed the laCe Smith Mcr herSOn.
NOW LnaI Judge Wade has cons enteq
20 be "a ,canuluate it Is not at all i'm
probable that ne Will be appointed.
vi course the appolntee wall be a
democrat and that party scarcely
could offer a man more fitted for the
pace. Judge Wade IS OF WIDE influ-
ence in Iowa and is favoraply known
III Washington, where, as national
committeeman, he has been very ac-
tive.
Mr.. Wade is a distinguished lawyer
and enjoys one Of the largest prac-
tices in the state. He was on the
district bench in Johnson and Iowa
counties from 1898 to 1903 and was
in congress from 1903 to 1905. He
has been professor at the state
university, where he established a
circle OF staunch friends. He is con-
sidered a man of excellent legal abil-
lty and great learning. He is
strong Wilson supporter.
Judge Wade was born in northeast
ern Iowa in 1861. He is conservative
and broad-minded, a representative
Iowan. His appointment would re-
ceive wide approval.
And another qualification can be
added to those named by the Gazette,
Judge. Wade is a general practitioner.
A few years ago it was not uncom-
mon for specialists to be given po-
sitions on the Federal bench, but
specialist is not the best lawyer for
such a position. The man who has
spent considerable portion of his
Life in one particular class of bust
ness is, in a measure, disqualified for
a judicial position. The specialist
may be honest but his decisions I'M
fair because they are shaped from a
partisan view point. An extensive
general practice, such as Judge Wade
has enjoyed, broadens a man and
enables him to look impartially upon
all sides of all questions that may
come before him for adjudication.

WILSON WILL WIN HIS SHIP
&r; PURCHASE FIGHT.

PURCHASE FIGHT.
Since the commencement OF the
present great European war ocean
freight rates have increased Soo per
cent. and nearly every cent OF that
unprecedented increase comes out OF
the pockets of American producers
who have products to sell in foreign
markets, or American consumers 1te' who
import goods from foreign countries.
This is q condition which can not be
permitted to continue. 1t is con-
.dition which according to the joint
report Of Secretaries Redfield and
.McAdoo, will if permitted to con-
tinue, take annually from Americans
not less than $500, 100000, and pro-
badly as much as $5oo,ooo,OoO, in
excess Of normal rates.
The last congress gave Americans
practically an equal opportunity Win
the people OF other countries to en-
gage in the ocean carrying trade,
but it requires large capital to estab-
lish line OF ocean steamships, and
capital is timid to the border line OF
being coWardly. There are plenty OF
merchant ships for sale at very
reasonable prices, and few restric'
lions against their purchase by Amer
leans, but American money will not
take the risk incident. to the business
under present conditions.
The writer has heard Mr.. Wilson
personally explain his views on this
subject He believes that it is the
duty Of the nation, as a war measure,
to put an end to extortionate ocean
freight rates and he is right and
right will win. III X 49, -, .i.4f9' r

President Wilson is not in favor
of having this government perma-
nently own the country's merchant
marine. All that he wants is law
giving the government the right to
purchase merchant ships and use
them in overseas commerce until
such time as private parties are will
ing to take over the business.

REGULAR MEDICAL INSPECTION.

REGULAR MEDICAL lNSPECI lON.
1T would be difficult to overesti-
mate the beneficial effects which
must attend work c. the kind under
taken by the Life Extension 1nsti-
tlute. The high death rate in later
life is attacked in two ways which
cannot. fail to effect beneficial
change-one is the wide dissemina-
ton of information as to healthy
methods Of living, the other is the
institution of regular medical inspec-
tons of the human machines SO that
defects may be quickly discovered
and remedied.
To put the matter briefly DR.. Eu-
gene Lynn Fisk says, that although
many machines are 'fool-proof' it is
not so with the human body"
Although the human body works
with a certain factor Of safety which
elbows for starvation, gluttony, po1s-
ondng, infection and other strains
and stresses, yet the fact that most
people exceed their factor Of safety
10 proved by the fact that the HUI
man cleck usually breaks down. in
stead Of running down."

is here summarized:
4 To Parents-Don't let your girls

anything for them to do at home.
On no account allow your girl to
leave home with SO little money that
she will land in some great city with
only dollar or two. Young women
are safer, better able to find employ
ment, and Of more service to the
community at home than in Chicago

any person unknown to your parents.
Do not make acquaintance on the

aid agent-she wears a uniform and
badge-and take her advice about
place to live: If ever in need of help
call on the Young Women's Christian
Association.
For twenty years Mary E. Holmes
has been mother to Everygirl who
sought her help. Over 100000 girls
have profited by her advice or found
shelter in her arms. No woman, GER
tainly none in Chicago, is better fit
ted by experience to give wise coun-
sci to girls. And this is her coun-
sci at this time to Everygirl.

THE BR AVE AT HOME.
The maid who binds warriors sash
With smile that we'll her pain Ensembles,
The while beneath her dropping lash
One starry teardrop hangs and trembles,
Though Heaven alone records the tear,
And fame shall never know her story,
Her heart has shed drop dear
AS eer bedew'd the field of glory.
The wife who girds her husbands sword
Mid little who weep wonder,
And bravely speaks the cheering word,
What though her heart be rent asunder,
Doomd nightly in her dreams to hear
The bolts of death around him rattle,
Hath shed sacred blood eer
Was pourd upon field o. battle.
The mother who conceals her grief,
While breast her presses,
Then breathes few BRAY and brief,
kissing the patriot brow she besses,
With but her
To know the pain that weighs upon her.
Sheds holy blood e'er the sod
Received n Freedoms field O honor.

DESTINY.

It IS proverbial saying that ev- cry one makes his own destiny, and this IS usually interpreted that every one by his wise or unwise conduct prepares good or evil for himself. But we may also understand it that whatever it be that he receives from the hand of Providence he may so accommodate himself to it that he will find his lot good for him.-WSam von Humboldt.
