THE HARDING IDEA.


We believe that public dollar
should buy just as good service as a
private dollar, and pledge ourselves
unreservedly to the enforcement of
honesty, economy and efficiency in
the administration Of public affairs.
Iowa republican platform.
1t is hoped the good people of
Iowa will not pass that plank by
with merely perfunctory attention.
It offers a characteristic Harding
idea. 1t suggests the kind Of record
the Sioux City candidate would like
to make as governor of Iowa. Mr..
Harding believes the saloon question
is settled. He believes there will be
steady progress toward national good
roads If the people are given time to
solve the problem-and they will be
given time to solve it. Mr.. Harding
is not excited about getting new laws
enacted or repeating old ones. He
has no new political theories he
would like to experiment with at the
public expense. 1t is his ambition
to give the state of Iowa an admin
istration in which honesty, economy
and efficiency shall be the predomin-
ating features.
The Journal has notion that the
taxpayers of Iowa are in frame OF
mind to be interested in the Harding
plank of the Iowa republican plat.
form. The natural tendency in the
public business is toward looseness
Without special striving for economy
and efficiency the drift is apt to be
in the other direction.
There is no big moral or political
issue confronting the voters of Iowa
in the present campaign. Why not
accept the Harding issue as the par.
amount one?
Why should it not be well worth
Iowas efforts to make sure that 6
public dollar buys just as much as G
private dol1ar?-Sioux City Journal

DO MEN EVER REGRET?

M. V. I. asks: tfHas unfaithfulness in man always been the same is it growing worse as time fits on? I was 20 and met and learned to care for a young man of the same age. We be- came engaged and were soon to wed. Suddenly I saw a change in him. He left me, giving no reason why, and has never returned. If I could only forget him I would have peace. My parents would never permit me to take employment, but I think I would be happier were I to engage as com panion or nurse. Would you advise such a course?''
 The very worst thing a woman can do is to sit breeding over a broken love dream, a frayed-out romance. Let your good common sense aid you whether your heart is breaking or whether some other man has caught it on the rebound? Good hard work is wonderful panacea for disap- pointed lovers. You should be able to find broad field for usefulness near your home. Do not go from your home town in search of employment. There is much need of willing hearts and ready hands right where you are.

FEBRUARY CLEARANCE SALES
 ARE NOW IN ORDER

The Caesar AEisch stores announce the first of the February Clearance Sales 6ommencing Saturd day. This will not only include all that remains from the January Clearance Sales marked at lower prices for quick action, but also some special orders which have been received and the result of special Bargains which this store picked up in New York recently.
 In talking with the Caesar Misch management they claim that while the February Clearance gives them the opportunity of disposing of goods which they have in stock they are all ways on the lookout to give their pa irons the benefit of whatever they may buy in the clearance of the man u1acturers.s This makes the February event at the Caesar Misch stores of great importance placing at the dis posaI of Brfdgeport people not alone the stock of Bridgeport stores at mark down prices, but also stocks Of the metropolitan manufacturers.

 l Pray how goes love?
 That was not love that went''
 When a man is in doubt as to whetllz CT he should court a single woman or a widow, matrimony being his ulti- Innate intention, there are a few trif1es to consider. He may tell the unsus- Ipicious single woman that the moon is made of green cheese and she is apt Ito believe him. But ta! ta! He must
 not tell a widow that She knows bet tier.
 | When he commences to make ex- cuses of any kinw she knows what he lis diving at. He cannot tell her the story and get away from it that he l could not keep his appointment to call on her on a certain evening as he had Ito see a. customer on important bus illness. That's an old. threadbare, time lworn excuse to her. If she does not ItelI him he should get up something
 more clever than that, she thinks it anyhow.
 He could picture airy, fairy love cas- ties to the single woman and she would be content with that The widow would want to know where the money was to come from to furnish the castle. He could daily over pro posing, with a single girl for a, sweet heart. A widow would on short order very coy1y draw from him his inten- tions quite before he knew them him self She could put notions in his head that heretofore he had scarcely given a. thought to without losing any of her graciouSness or Inodesty.
 He could tell the single girl that he was wearing last years overcoat to be able to save money to marry on. The widow would know what vintage the overcoats belonged to at her first, he wouldn't doubt his word about saw ing money, but she'd want to see his bank book.
 The last thing young woman would ever dream of asking him would be how many heirs-at-Iaw he had A widow would waste no time in finding out that aIl-important matter. The single girl would talk over her love affair with her parents, her chunn or some other interested friends The widow knows enough about heart af- fairs to paddle her own canoe. She doesn't have to be coached. If he pops the question to a single girl and differences should arise be- tween them, ten chances to one she will allow. him to vault out of the en- After he has asked her to name the day, there is no lophole of escape for him.

 Both women are charming in their different ways. It all depends on whether a man appreciates inexperf- ence or experience. It takes the un- scrupuIous bride years before she finds out his faults, if he has any. The widow does not need any. one to tell her of his shortcomings. She guessed them all beforehand

ToDAY's POEM
MARY sHEPHERDEss

 When the theron.s in the high wood
 and the last long furrow's sown, With the herded cloud before her and
 her sea-sweet raiment blown, Comes Mary, Mary Shepherdess, a. seeking for her own. Saint James he calls the righteous
 folk, St. John he calls the kind, Saint Peter calls the valiant men all to
 loose or bind, But, Mary seeks the little souls that
 are so hard to find. All the little. signing souls born of
 dust's despair. They who fed lon bitter bread when , the world was bare F'righted Of the glory gates and tho
 starry stair All about the windy down, housing in .UAderneath the alder Dough, nnnet-
 light they cling, F'righted of the shining house where
 the martyrs sing. Crying in the ivy bloom, lingering at erievlng ih the hollow dark. lone Mary. Mary shepherdess, gathers
 them again. And Oh. the wandering women know,
 in workhouse and in shed. They dream on Mary Shepherdess
 with doves about her head, And pleasant posies in her hand. and
 sorrow comforted- Signing; There's my little lass. farfrg
 fine and frees There's the little lad I laid by the hoI-.
 ly tree Dreaming: There's my name1ess bairn
 laughing at her knee. when the braeken harvest's gathered
 and the frost is on the Ioans When the dream goes out in science
 and the ebb runs out in foam. Mary, Mary Shepherdess. she bids the
 lost lambs home. If had a little maid to turn my tears
 away, If had a. little lad to lead me when
 I'm gray, All. to Mary shepherdess they'd fold their hands and play.

GOLDROAD STARTS DRIFTING ON LOWEST
 LEVEL IN DISTRICT
IFrOm Chloride Section Daily Miner.I ]

On the 165O-foot level of No- shaft of the Goldroad mine drifts have been started both northwest and southeast in what is believed to be an excellent showing for making an ore shoot The crosscut was run 180 feet and in the past 40 or 50 feet various string CTS have been cut. For about 12 feet the rock extracted has been sort of ledge matter, but there is a distinct uncertainty and difference of opinion as to whether or not the hanging wall has been reached.
 The miners who have worked there for half a dozen years have gathered notions of their own from experience in the mine and naturally would like to see the crosscut continued until the hanging wall is known to have been found. On the other hand, the engi- neering advice is to start drifting at once which has been done in the past day or two and it is making speed under the usual energetic direction of Manager D. R. Muir.
 While this is a greater depth than it is generally known that Goldroad or Oatman mine had reached, No. 3 shaft is 25O feet higher at the sur face than No. 1, the latter being the main working shaft, and thus the depth, in reality, is considered to be 1400 feet. No. 1 is used to hoist all the ore and is a three-compartment shaft. No. 8 is used for letting down timbers and for lowering and hoisting the miners.
