He was dressed for soldiers journey
He was brave for soldiers plight:
He had kissed them all round in the
morning,
AS he'd kissed them all round at night
And now where the troops were en-
training.
He leaned to gay little head,
And pressed it's dear curls to his bosom
And "Goodhy. kiddy." he said;
Goodby, Kiddy; 1t echoes
Today in my own gray breast,
As | dream of the lads and the
lassies
Tonight in their cots of rest!
His cheeks were tanned in the service,
And his WAYS were a soldiers sure,
So rough and so ready and sturdy
To march and to fight and endure,
But there with the crowd unlocking,
With the tears of man in his eye.
He leaned Ger, the curls of his darling
And kissed him fond goodby;
Godby. Kiddy Forever.
On the lips of the brave it must
ring.
That goodby unto the loved ones
That unto our hearts still cling;
Goodby, Kddy! God bless you;
And keep him, dear Lord, from harm
The father of this dear youngster,
So sweet in his childish charm.
Bring him, and bring all Others
Safe from the battle, the glare
OF the burning sun Of the border,
And the burdens they go to bear!
Goodby, kiddy! God love you,
And lead your daddy Alright,
And be with him there in the day
time
And bend DER his cot at night.

ORPET, THE MAIDS HERO.


The newspaper accounts tell how
when young Will Orpet emerged
from the courtroom acquitted he was
met by more than a score of young
girls, who showered him with con-
sratulations, some Of them being so
enthusiastic in their demonstration as
to put their arms around him!
1t was the same way at the trial.
Inc courtroom was constantly
crowded with women of all ages and
OF every station in life. and apparently
Orpet was the hero of all of them.
At all events. the interest shown in
the defendant seemed little more in
tense than mere curiosity.
What is the secret Of Young Orpet's
fascination for the fair sex? Is it an
other instance of the candlemoth and
the flame? Or is it merely because of
his notoriety? Were the women in
terested in this young college student
because he had betrayed and led to
her ruin and death one of their sex or
was 1t simply because he was the
center Of this great trial and the sub
ject Of so many columns Of newspaper
reports! Here is an opportunity for
some interesting study in psychology.

Harding is weak, wet and vacillating.
They know that he is nothing more
nor less than shifting, crafty, smooth
politician. Ten thousand men IN the
state are more worthy of The office OF
governor than he And yet they hesi-
tate to break out of the party to OPP
pose his election because in so doing
they feel a stigma will attach to their
record because they have been in a
small measure lined up with men in
another party.
To men who hesitate on this score
the principle laid down by Lincoln in
1854 and reiterated by GARRISON in the
Iowa platform in 1873 will be worth
careful scrutiny. When the republican
party of Iowa commits itself to the
care of Mr.. Harding ii repudiates it's
own record and members of the party
in no sense repudiate their principles
when they "stand with anybody that
stands right" where Mr. Harding
stands .wr0ng. - sSsS.lL 500 ~ = >. -

symposium that afternoon and sticks
father for the laundry bill for clean

it turns up it's nose at the spot on the

and the course Of the average artistic
temperament"
Preventive measures is the remedy
Begin early. If mild treatment fails
buy an elm grove and use it up on
the patient. In earlier attacks use the
naked hand rising to the slipper and
the trunk strap if the case proves
obstinate. A cord of wood and buck
saw, ten rows of seed onions the
length of the back lot, instruction in
the use of the electric sad iron and the
mysteries of the cuisine all are help
full
When any mans artistic tempera-
ment Graves the excitement of homi-

where the stone hammers are more
common than firearms: when it brings
him to the point that he can't induce
it to mingle with days work a
little quarry work under competent
foreman, preferably Irish. of the dark
type, will be found pleasing to the
public and possibly remedial to the
afflicted person.
In conclusion: When the artistic
temperament is fully developed it
should be evidence Of the necessity for
restraint. An artistic temperament
hasn't any more business running at
large than a fool has driving an auto
mobile.

FERDINAND De SOTO.

The reader is invited to take a
brief look at the life and public SER
vices OF Ferdinand de Soto, who dis
covered the Mississippi river when 1t
was just as long as ii is now and had
not had any pork expended upon It.
This was in 1913.
. De Soto was born in Spain but was
unable to prevent it. and soon after
realizing the fact he started out to
look for some other country where
sleep was not so highly priced by the
inhabitants. He had heard a good
deal about Florida and its seedless
orange groves. and decided TO discover
the Mississippi before somebody beat
him to it. as the historian Bancroft
says. After biting the head OFF Of a
Glove he kissed his wife goodbye
a crew inflamed with zeal and Spanish
red -eye.
When De Sofa struck Florida he
was met By number Of unconvert-
ed Indians. who were carefully dressed
in a goose feather and tomahawk and
acted as If they had eaten something
which distressed them. De Sofa tried
to be friendly with the Indians and
offered to teach them how to booze
and not show it, but they responded
to his kindness by letting the air out
Of some of the best and most bibu-
lous members of his crew. Incersed
by his act Of treachery, De Sofa sur
rounded several thousand Of the red
brother and applied coal oil to their
persons, creating one Of the largest
bonfires in the history Of the state.
After numerous trials, chief among
which was the scurrilous theft Of a
pony keg by one Of the crew, De Soto
reached the Mississippi and recog-
niged Il at once hv it's photograph in

Now this man and his wife have

factory is to produce at profit or at

gencies. Judging by the generally well

How does he do it? Mr.. and Mrs.
DAutremont would confer favor and
do the ordinary family service by
giving full publicity to their system of
maintenance Of fourteen children on
salary of $1,000 a year with the ex-
pense of transportation of the mails
to come out Of that. Those children
wear out clothes and gather round the
festal board three times diurnally and
ask for pieces between meals just like

The Difference shown candidates
Meredith and Clarkson at the recent
Iowa democratic convention but dem
onstrates the value of integrity in pub
lie life. To be sure, Meredith is the
candidate of his party for the chief
office in the state, but Clarkson was
no whit behind him in the influence
he welded in the party councils. The
stand taken for prohibition by these
two men at the conference held sew
eral weeks ago, when they were So
licited to run for the nomination in the
primary took the leadership Of the
democratic party away from the wet
element of the river cities, that has
controlled it and we'll nigh ruined it.,
for SO many years past and placed 1t in
a position to command the respect Of
the clean, htthinking people Of
Iowa who have all along been in SYM
pathy with many of it's economic ideas.
These voters have often allowed them
selves to vote wit ha party, many Of
whose principles they could not en-
dorse, because the democratic party
was not right on this moral question.
Now, by the force of character asserted
by these two men, the official express
sion of the democratic party is, in line
with the sentiment of the rank and file
Of the voters. This expression doubt
less will mean thousands of votes for
the party, but whether it does or not, it
means the removal of reproach from a
host of democrats who have borne it

True progress under our form OF
government is only possible when we
stand on Abraham Lincoln's famous
dictum with reference to men and
measures. Oct. It, 1854, Lincoln dis
cussed the repeal of the Missouri COM
promise in a great speech at Peoria, Ill.
He laid down in the following quota
ton a fundamental law which is as
sound when applied to the situation In
Iowa today as 1t was when 1t was ut
tered. We quote:
Some men, mostly wings, who con-
denim the repeal Of the Missouri com
promise, nevertheless hesitate to go for
its restoration lest they be thrown in
company with the abolitionists. Will
they allow me, as ali old WING. to tell
them, good humoredly, that think this
is very silly? Stand with anybody that
stands right. Stand with him while
he is right, and part with him when he
goes wrong"
