THE RICH YOUNG SQUIRT.
Knoxville Express

An Ida Grove boy attending the state
university al Iowa City borrowed big
Cadillac eight car belonging to another
student, a boy from Denison, and went
down town TO get some laundry for an
other student II was dark; steep hill ;
three women in the road got confused
and separated: car running only ten
miles an hour. Of course; couldn't turn
out quick enough: ran over one woman
and killed her; hoy heartbroken, but
that doesn't restore the woman to her
family and friends. The Express is
maybe getting a little fogyish, but
equipping boy with an eight cylinder
car is not our idea Of education. The
bane Of the colleges is the rich young
squirts whose old fool fathers allow
them to run thru more money in four
years at school than they will ever
make in the course of their lives. The
Denison boy had as much need for
a big touring car at college as ne had
for cage of wildcats. The colleges
can teach languages and science and
philosophy and how to use up a mil
lion dollar income, but they can't teach
common sense-and what a pity 1t Is!

AW. SPRING, WHAT AIS your

Most noticeable this year is the uni
versal desire for spring. 1t is out OF
the ordinary. Every year as the spring
approaches the desire Is strong but
this year it is especially a powerful
impulse. There is longing for green
grass and leaves on the trees, spring
sunshine a revolt against waiting
longer. II affects all. The commonest
expression is Il never Ionged for spring
to come as l do this year..
II has been long, hard, cold winter
In many homes it has been a problem
and a very serious one to provide fuel
and food and clothing. Everything Is
high. Coal has cost more than in any
previous winter to be called to mind
The common foodstuffs have been
scarce and held at abnormal prices
Altogether it has been a test OF endur-
ance rather than an Iowa winter. For
as a usual thing we enjoy our winters
in Iowa after a fashion, welcome the
chill, and the snow as bracing rather
than burdensome. But this winter has
lasted long and brought its series Of
worries with it. So we wait and watch
for spring as never before.
Come, gentle spring, ethereal mild.

The sitz bath is melancholy pro-
cess OF physical contortion which IL

husband OF rare courage arises anu
refuses to pass thru this ordeal. which
is more trying to a man Of proud

home with somebody else's wife on a

aid of large tin tub with corrugated

I'd tell you how the band frayed on

Well, we left Billy Bunny and Uncle

II want It so much. said Uncle
Lucky, and he began to cry again. II

can't tell you how much do want it,"
Then the cross old bear suddenly
changed into a nice old bear and came
over and put the hat on Uncle Lucky's
head, which made the old gentleman
rabbit laugh, for he didn't want the
seashells put in It, you know
Well, after that they all got very
friendly. and the cross old bear
told funny story about a Welsh Rab-
bit who always had bad dreams when
he ate lobster salad. And then the
rabbits said good-by and got into their

And you can Just bet Uncle Lucky

That Colombian treaty met its proper

sire TO gain a party advantage by dis

ministration and Mr.. Bryan's rather
ulaudlin sense Of conciliatory measures.
1t met with public disappro-
val. first because il apollo

nobody regrets and second because II
submitted to blachu1ai. The facts are
that Roosevelt took bull by the horns
and rubbed lis nose on the ground and
that there is nothing TO regret in the
whole business unless Colon bia regrets

and mold the United States up for
over sl5,0000o0 in cash for what she

The Cedar Rapids Republican can
work itself into a perfect frenzy over
Senator Cummins and processes an
awful regret for Senator Kenyon. But.
then fireside reader it will be recalled
that the Cedar Rapids Republican is
the only newspaper in all Iowa which
sent a sneering answer 70 the Literary
Digest last spring when asked about
Cummins and the republican nominal
ton for president The editor of the
Cedar Rapids Republican has never let
an opportunity go by for months and
months TO belittle Senator Cummins,
so his present line OF conduct is fairly
consistent. The democratic newspa-
pers Of Iowa are attacking Cummins In
the hope Of electng a democrat to his
place in three years but the Cedar
Rapids Republican is far ahead of its
democratic brethren in the attack, the
suspicion being that It wants 20 put
