Riley.

James Whitcomb Riley is dead, a
statement that brings keen regret to
a million households, for Riley was the
poet Of common folks and homes and
the human interests that group them
selves about the everyday matters of
human life. however we may arb-
trarily and ignorantly classify it as
high. middle or low.
When in the ripeness of years Long
fellow departed, Riley was sent to fill
the void thus created. Emerson had
singing Longfellow's poems. Long
fellow had said beautifully the things
common people think and fail TO eX
press for themselves. Following him
Riley sang the songs Of common
humanity expressed and painted in
colors the sweetness and the sorrow
and the hope that lives in every heart,
the common poetry of which every
life has it's share in hovel, palace and
farm house. He saw the fineness of
life and knew its sweetness. So when
ne sang the world stopped to listen.
and trembles when its chord is struck
so the American people felt the human
brotherhood OF Riley and responded.
None needed glossary or training to
understand him. His music was as
true as a folksong. His technique had
grown thru ali the generations since
men and women have lived and loved
E. children have come and brought
hope and sorrow, since marriage bells
and death knells have rung and lives
have been interviewer and torn apart,
since happiness and woe have been
anthitetic. His poetry was as natural
and instructive as the song of the
brown thrush in the hedge, the chirp
Of birds in the morning. and as true
II came out of life and touched life.
1t was the harp of life attuned to his
generation, but it would have been
music in Eden and it will be music as
long as the world exists and after.
Good Bye jim" That old Sweet
heart" of yours is somewhere waiting.
To pass is like going out to Old Aunt
Mary's." AS the winter of your days
came on you have sought a kinder
climate, like the thrush that sang IN
the hedges whose song is never for
gotten. The song has not ceased but
rings clearer in a SUMMER country.

TREATING FOLKS RIGHT.

When the Third Iowa landed IN
Houston the people there knew the
regiment was coming and let the boys
know they knew it. The Young Busi-
ness Mems league had free shower
bath house on a vacant lot and the not
dusty fellows were pointed to it. They
went. twenty at a time and relieved the
blood pressure Of i01 in the shade.
There were lemonade and post CARDS
for every one of them and every card
had a L. S. stamp on it and was ready
for mailing when the message had been
written.
That's an incident Of treating people
right when they come to town. IL
doesn't matter much whether the or
ganization is a regiment of militia,
which when you come to think of it is
a crowd Of citizens, or any other or
ganization Of people out on business or
a good time. Those boys will never
forget Houston or fail to remember that
town and its people with grateful
friendship. They like Houston. Liking
is builded on little things like that
which when analysed are big things.
The point is that Houston thought Of
them, met them with the glad hand
and a hospitality which touched the
spot, nothing in the way Of a big hur-
rah but shower baths and post cards.
But if there were anything more de-
sirable than a chance at a cool shower
and a post card to write home on and
q long, cool lemonade for those sweaty
chaps, lonesome for the folks at home
and thirsty enough to drink a river dry,
somebody think Of and mention it,
please.
Now the Houston people PROBABLY
didn't give much thought to the sordid

side of the entertainment but that re-
ception was old business from the bust
ness office at that, It made friends,
life Ions friends, for Houston and Texas
and Texans Every one Of those SOL
dlers was potential prospect when
you come to think of it. They are young
men and young men move about seek
ing new locations.
Folks like to live in communities that
know what to do and how to do it at
the right time. A friendly town draws
people to it as sugar draws ants. And,
When those fellows cast about for a
new location where they'd like to live
ana where the spirit and purposefulness
and ability and snap of the communi-
~ suits them, they'll consider Houston
and Texas.
There's an axiom that a man ought
to learn something every day. 1t is
just as true of a town, or community
and a state. There's little object les
son at Houston.

ALEXANDER HAMILTON.
stllps Esd Seelin6 uK- % cabba6es-G km&5

On July II, one hundred and twelve
years ago, occurred the abrupt and
unprecedented death Of Alexander
Hamilton, American statesman and
patriot. Hamilton was only forty
seven years of age at the time and was
in good health, but was called hence
with extreme suddenness as result
of running into a 32-caliber bullet
fired by Aaron Burr, who was one of
the lowest men in the state Of New
York.
Alexander Hamilton was born on an
island in the British West Indies
which was entirely surrounded by
water, but when a young man he es-
capped to the United States and en-
tered Columbia College. where he tied
the existing record for skipping chapel.
When the revolutionary war broke out
on the body polite Hamilton Joined
the artillery and soon became able to
shoot a cannon in any given direction.
While thus engaged he contracted the
puzzled squint which is SO noticeable
in his earlier photographs.
Hamilton put in several years Of
hard work during the war, and when
it closed he began to look around for
some SOIL pursuit which would pay
we'll and not entail too much thought,
so he opened law Office. About this
time he did good deal Of writing for
the newspapers, which were glad to
publish his remarks. owing to the high
price Of boiler plate. In this manner
Hamilton secured the friendship Of the
weekly papers in his district and they
elected him to congress, where he dis
tributed postoffices and pensions with
a lavish hand. Later he was made
secretary of the treasury, and ar
ranged matters so that one American
dollar was as good as another when 1t
was made of gold.
Alexander Hamilton's greatest ser
vice to his country was in removing
the kinks from the original constitu-
ton and reducing it to q size con-

The Rolfe Arrow admonishes the

to the Methodists to note that the

sequently it may be excused II 1t falis

mo DECLARED ROAD POLICY.
lCedar Rapids Gazette] h
While it goes without saying that
the republicans will control both
houses of the Iowa general assembly,
the state convention could not have
intended to aid candidates for legis-
lative positions when it adopted the
following plank:
The republican party stands for
continued improvement Of the high
ways Of the state until the roads are
as good as needed for legitimate pur-
poses. We heartily favor building the
very best roads the taxpayers will be
able to pay for We are opposed to
any bond issue for the purpose of lay
ing hard surface roads except by con-
sent of parties who are to be taxed
therefor in case of emergency.
1t is safe to stand for continued
improvement of highways" but why
limit tho axca11oncn IF ho n,,o1ifI-inp
phrase until the roads are as good as
needed for legitimate purposes" The
Gazette is no less sincere in it's adj
vocacy Of good roads than are those
who claim greater credit but such an
expression in a state platform is anna
flourish and disgusting in the bald
ness of it's assumption that the voters
can be readily mystified and that the
completion of the process of fooling
them would have even Abraham Lin
coin guessing. Are roads used for IL
legitimate purposes and do illegitimate
purposes require roads of exceptional
cost durability and smoothness?
The closing cor in case of emer-
gency" will condemn the entire plank,
as it should. No party has license to
deal in now you see it and now you
don't see it, announcements of
policy. If the party was not ready to
declare a definite policy with respect
to roads, if the delegates considered
that the question is yet in the stage
OF discussion and that a conclusion
is not in order, it should have been so
declared.
The declaration that those who
must pay for the roads must be taxed
without their consent in case of emer-
gency is fatal. 1t is a declaration in
favor of the abolition OF popular rule
"a party declaring against the prin-
ciple on which it is supposed to be
based and on which it most assuredly
was founded.
Who is to judge the emergency?
Are the four members Of the state
highway commission to be allowed to
override the will of the people of any
one county? If so they have the same
right in every county and are super
ior to the will of majority of any
size. But 1t was for the convention
TO outline the rules Of the game. II
party leaders are pleased with their
performance that is all that is reauir-
ed in that direction. Voters can ex-
press their pleasure or displeasure

ridden republic.
When Aaron Burr ran for governor
Of New York. Hamilton opposed him
with great violence and stub pen,
charging him with belonging to the
republican party and also with being
SO crooked that his clothes had to be
fitted over q 9imlet. Burr resented
these remarks by challenging Hamil-
ton to a duel. the latter being fatally
perforated while in an erect attitude.
The lesson to be drawn from the
life of this great American is that If
Hamilton had killed Burr, instead of
vice versa, the duel would be more

LAST WEEKS BUSINESS.

hoSt reports regarding trade, IN
dustry. crops and prospects sound
highly encouraging, about the only
discordant notes being those heard
| from storm-swept sections of the
| southeast, where, naturally. trade has
! been set back pending rehabilitation.
But over the larger part of the coun-
try, trade, now large, is increas sing and
is likely to grow still further. while
| never before have seasonal influences
| made for SO little recession.
Fall orders are satisfactory. interior
| merchants are disposed to buy freely
lines of textiles may not be available
when wanted, merchants in some sec
lions are becoming concerned about
goods arriving at the scheduled time.
However, buying for periods beyond
the fall months is marked by more or
less conservatism, dictated by uncer-
tainty regarding the situation of far
future prices, this attitude being ac-
companied. nevertheless, by doubts as
to whether conservatism is really the
better course to follow. Predictions
of an inevitable slump in business are
rife. yet most measures Of economic
movements indicate that high-speed
momentum is maintained. and just as
things seem to be shaping for a set
back, fresh stimulating impulses ap-
eign demand for all kinds of products.
Besides those factors, retail trade in
summer fabrics is good. mail order
houses are doing more than we'll, col
lections are good, and money is in
better demand at frmer rates OF
course. reports from the southeast are
not in harmony with those received
from other parts Of the country, storm
damage having held up shipments and
injured stocks Of merchandise, and
hurt crops, especially on lowlands.
In the field Of industry operations
are going forward at an unwonted
pace. notwithstanding that outputs Of
lumber are being curtailed, and that
in the steel and coke trades excessive
heat has tended to reduce production.
In fact, export trade in general is
proceeding at a very remarkable rate
and if reports Of poor European wheat
crop conditions are TO be accepted,
revival Of foreign demand for Ameri-
can wheat is likely. At the same time,
imports, chiefly Of raw materials at
high prices, are heavy, the price fac
tor adding to the item Of value.
Railway traffic is heavy. save in the
southeast. where the railways ap-
parent,y have suffered heavily. Labor
is IN scant supply, is restless and
seeks higher wages. Bank clearings'

THE DEADBEAT.


The highwayman is Drawer than
the deadheat and even the sneak
thief takes more chances on the law
than he does. But all of these wor-
thies are actuat"d by the same motive
to shift the burden Of gaining their
LIVELIHOOD upon the shoulders OF
others. The immunity from legal
punishment of the deadbeat has caused
the industries Of the more active rob-
bers tc languish Of late years. and
while it is rare to find man who
gees out on the highway and boldly
holds up the wayfarer, every commu-
nifty has it's quota Of deadbeats who
prey upon their confiding neighbors
They often keep up show OF respec-
liability, sometimes belong to church
and do not hesitate to censure the con-
duct Of their neighbors. They are a
severe tax on a community, especially
upon those who have goods to sell
Perhaps it would be good fight fol-
our pulpiteers, now that almost every
body else has been made good by legis-
lation, to launch q crusade for debt
paying. A through ticket to future
bliss would be just as likely to be hon.
ored if the holder paid his way
through this vale Of tears.
There is no fit punishment here be-
low for the deadbeat.
GOT SALOON KEEPERS LETTER
lCor. Des Moines Register.]
To the Editor: The statement OF
Mr.. Harding's late pastor Of his home
church was quite interesting and sure
ly convincing reading for the voters
Of this state, as it seems that one OF
the leading issues in the present cam
paign is MI Harding's position on the
liquor question.
When he was a candidate for lieu
tenant governor his strongest and
hardest working support came from
the liquor interests. Imme diately be-
fore he was elected I received a letter
addressed to my home from a party
signing himself the secretary Of the
Iowa Liquor Dealers Association with
offices at Sioux City and evidently
mistaking me for Des Moines saloon
man, in which I was instructed to
vote for Mr.. Harding for lieutenant
governor, irrespective of any party af-
filiations and stating that as he would
have the naming of all committees, II
was to the saleenmen's interest to gee
he was elected. And he was. Now he
is looking for the highest office in the
state, and up to this time he has moi
expressed himself on the most vital
issue Of the campaign. He was t.ie
candidate OF the liquor interests swe
years ago and vouched for by the sec
