BLOOD SUCKER ONCE VALUED.
leech With His Eleven Pairs Of Sacks
TO ELL a Ranacaa

Our great-grandfathers regarded tn"
leech as sort of f1rst-aid outfit in case
Of sickness. In the days when blood
letting was a popular panacea, the
physician would have worried less over
the loss of his pill box than over the
death of this little animal And so
long as blood-letting was popular,
there was nothing to match the eff
cheney of the leech.
Nature fitted him for the task to
which the physician adapted him. Long
before he was used on humans the
ieech was performing operations Of his
of his in the mud and slime at the bot
tom Of his marsh home.
His operating tools consist Of cup
like sucker at the end of his tail and
another at his mouth. Also at his
mouth are three semi circular. sharp
toothed jaws, which he works together
like a saw. With these he cuts his
way thru the scales Of Ash and
reaches the blood.
Then the leech's wormlike body be-
gins to expand. He has eleven pairs of
sacks in his stomach, and he must fill
all these before he Is satisfied He
drinks until he is from two to three
times his natural size.
The ieech is liveliest in daytime and
at night he curls up for a nap. When
winter comes he buries himself in the
mud and waits for warmer weather.

Arthur Brisbane's suggestion that a
cream separator might be turned into
a distillery for Improving hard cider
seems to be equally as useful as re-
CARDS his light wines"
Moreover the fact that Thomas JEFF
ferson took a drink or that liquor was
harvest field necessity in the old
days isn't considered any better argu-
ment against prohibition in Iowa than
the fact that Bill Stunps' family needs
the money Bill spends for beer or light
wines in order to get shoes for the
children to go to school in.
Another thing worth mentioning Is
that the visiting editors seemed to be
more interested in the business Of the
gathering than in the buzzing of the
candidates in the lobby.
Mr.. Marshall is willing; hut nobody
else seems to be of his mind in that
particular matter.
Turning from Justice Hughes, the

1t seems incredible that the mem
bers of Cleveland's school board could
DE cajoled into taking the examina-
ton in the curriculum provided for
the children of the public school, but
it appears that this wonder actually
came to pass. OF course the MEM
bers Of the board were unable to pass
and thus, from the point of view Of
the hilarious youngsters at least,
speedy and just retribution was
brought upon them. The members Of
the board thus publicly put to shame
have declared for reform, as might
have been expected. They announce
they will fall for new pedagogbc quack-
cry no more, that all educational fads
of a moment must be done away with,
and that Cieveland's public schools
must swing back toward the safe and
sane territory of the three RS. Doubt
less Cleveland's schools will receive
much benefit as a direct result OF the
sufferings Of it's entrapped board OF
education.

The PRESS ASSOCIATION MEETING.

The latest meeting Of the Iowa Press
Association set milestone in the
path of newspaper progress in this
state For the meeting in points Of
attendance, interest. Importance OF the
matters discussed and Of fraternal re-
latons between newspaper men was by
! far the greatest that has ever taken
place in Iowa. 1t attracted speakers
and thinkers of national fame, leaders
of business and men with propositions
! big with public good and the progress
of the publishing business. 1t drew
together also, a rank and file of those
who make newspapers and conduct
publishing in this state of which not
only the members of the association but
the state OF Iowa may be and is proud.

between the publisher and editor of
past decades and the improved and Gull
tivated product of this period. Bust
ness, public and private discussion, and
a good time, that sums up the latest
gathering OF the Iowa press association.
The officers of the association are to be
thanked and complimented upon their
successful efforts and a vote of thanks
is due the Greater Des Moines COM
mittee for its unceasing and highly ap-
preciated ability as entertainers.
The character and intelligence of the
country newspaper publisher was in
evidence at every turn. His pride in
his profession and the serious fashion
in which he considers his business and
his responsibility were everywhere
preent. one daily editor OF promi

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Let us pause for a moment today
and uncover to a great memory.
To the memory of a man and a
leader of whom 40 word of criticism is
spoken in all the world; whose mighty
services to his country and to all coun-
pcrlatives of all spoken and written
languages braham Lincoln.
Once in a hundred years. say the
musicians, is born the bella voce, the
marvel OF song. Who possesses it in
perfection must be born to its posses
sion. The physical conformation mus.
be perfectly adapted to the production
Of musical sounds, throat and vocal
chords. deep lungs and powerful
physique and above all the instinct
and desire TO sing. Then when it is
discovered and trained the voice of a
century is born TO the world.
So, amid the centuries as they pass
God sends man and leader. They
arrive in the emergencies Of evolution
The ferment Of the great world
alembic, the melting pot of progress
seethes and bubbles with opposed and
fighting elements. Then the Great
Chemist Of Creation drops in the ele-
mental man; and when the cloudy
mass has cleared the precipitate is
human progress. wider freedom, higher
standards more righteous individual
and national life.
So into an emergency of human pro-
gress came Abraham Lincoln. So had
come the elder prophets. thus had
come that Abraham of old who sought
a higher level of life and religion: SO
in the fullness of his time had come
Jesus Christ: so came all the leaders
who pleaded liberty and human well
fare here and hereafter thru all the
ages. Doubt not that Lincoln was OF
these, born TO a leadership. created
by Infinite Power with a certain pur-
pose.
So let Us stop today 10 uncover to
a great memory while We wait for the
time and upon the wisdom Of the
omnipotent TO send another in the full
ness of His time.

LINCOLN.

One hundred and seven years ago to-
day Abraham Lincoln was born. He
started in life as so many eminent
Americans have done, as a poor boy,
with a wardrobe consisting of a calico
shirt and pair of reinforced overalls.
His parents were poverty stricken
Kentuckians, and lived in a cabin
which had perfect system of ventila-
ton, admitting fresh air, rain, hail
stones and snow with entire impartial
ity.
The school advantages In Kentucky
in 1909 were very meager, and the
young Lincoln had to educate himself
on the installment plan with the aid
of an open fireplace and q cast-iron
will. When one looks at Lincoln and
sees how much he accomplished with
out taking the football course at one
of our great centers of learning, the
thought arises: Why send boys away
to college and have them return in
their freshman year with the same de-
gree of air pressure that they left
home with?
Lincoln took part in the Black Hawk
war and had a chance to see how the
red brother behaves when fired by
patriotism and red liquor He then
settled in the state of Illinois and
practised law with so much energy
that he was sent to congress, thus
starting the monopoly which the law
yers have on all of the offices that pay
anything. Following his debates with
Douglas, during which Lincoln hung
the hide Of his opponent on the fence
in a conspicuous position, he was elect
ed president, served his common coun-
try with almost Infinite wisdom and
moderation, and came to his death on
April Is, 1865, at the hands of a
fanatic.
Lincoln was a tall. gaunt. raw
boned man with the kind eyes OF a
mother and the clear faith OF child

Mr.. BRISBANE AND IOWA PROHIBITION.

Arthur Brisbane made a terse, keen
address before the Iowa Press associa
ton meeting, typical Brisbane talk
tense, plain and to the points he mar
he paid attention to the Iowa prohibit
tory legislation and purpose to decry
the legislation and deny its usefulness.
That portion of his address was not re-
ceived with approval or in agreement
by the editors and publishers who list
ened TO it.
One thing should be settled in the be-
ginning before discussion of Mr.. Bris-
bane's ideas and arguments On Iowa
legislation is legion. That is the
speech is free as air before the Iowa
Press Association from any speaker
great or small whom it invites TO APP
pear before It. Brisbane or any other
who somes TO the association should
have the most perfect freedom to utter
what is in him, to say the thing ne
to conscience or intellectual conviction.
And when it has been said there is no
occasion for expressions of resentment
from those who disagree even on most
important propositions. Let us settle
so much.
But Mr. Brisbane seems 10 be entire
ly out Of touch with Iowa conditions
and Iowa purposes. He does not know
Iowa and fails to understand Iowa
character. Perhaps that is not aston
ishing for few eastern bred and eastern
living men whatever their intelligence
and intellectual power seem to know
or understand the middle west The
views and the possibilities Of those
states where half the population Is ag-
ricultural are as strange to them as
those Of foreign country-more so to
men OF the Brisbane intellectual type.
Mr.. Brisbane does not know Iowa. He
is a metropolitan. a cosmopolite. But
he is as ignorant of the character of
Iowa and of the things she can do and
intends to do as the boy who peddles
the New York Journal on the east side
or the trust magnate who houses his
interests on Broadway. That Is the
courteous conclusion to be drawn from
the prohibition section of Mr.. Bris-
bane's speech
If Mr.. Brisbanes advocacy Of the
products of the brewers and the win
cries had the slightest effect upon the
men who listened to it. it strengthened
their convictions and lent determina-
ton TO their purpose to keep the sa-
! loon out of Iowa Many, perhaps most
| Of them were astonished at the injec-
ton Of the speakers opinions on a
question they consider settled in this
state. The men who occupy positions
on Iowa dailies similar to that held
by Mr.. Brisbane upon his metropolitan
newspaper were all against him. With
dition at home quite as clear and defin-
lite as Mr.. Brisbane in his field they
knew better. The wish is that Bris.
bane knew more of Iowa and lows
character The best excuse-if any ex.
icuse is needed-for his advocacy Of
Liquor in Iowa Is that he were bette
informed. The inference then is tina

iposefulness Mr.. Brisbane would DE

devil is his fellow man In fellowship
which we call ''the communion OF

But no nation, no individual, can rely
wholly upon its alliances. however pow
erful these may be. Recent events have
impressed upon all the necessity for
preparedness so minute that 1t does not
omit to examine "the last button on the
last gaiter of the last soldier in the

butante bestows upon her first party

glance compared with the scrutiny to
which the modern successful soldier
subjects his weapons. his ammunition,
his uniform and his food. He trusts
nothing to chance. He loves nothing

that preparation must not be confined
to treaties of alliance with friendly

know that the dreadnaughts have ID
inch guns ana the mortars on shore ce-
ment bases beneath their batteries. The
preparedness must descend to the fndi-

Individual shoe. II God prepares that
