poklhe BEFORE THE LEAP.

II sNhen private 1n0lVluudl VI uuo
Illness concern wants to do something
In which the law may play part, a
I1reputable lawyer is called upon to see
itthat whatever is done or planned Is
Illegal. To do otherwise is rightly con-
(sidered bad business.
But as q general rule, when state
hegisla Nor undertakes to get law OF
some sort or other placed on the stat
i ute books, he seldom bothers about the
tlegal end of it; instead he sgets II
u passed and lets those who oppose II
ltry to prove that it is not valid.
Apro pos OF all this, Senator John w.
Foster Of Guthrie county has initiated
move in the legislature which would
do much to correct the present Slip
shod practice. He has introduced q
bill. the provisions of which direct
that every bill that is submitted to
4 the legislature be first inspected by
athe attorney general of the state with
~ view to Graduating any defects
(which that Official may discover IN IT.
He states that at present much confu.
sion is caused by the introduction OF
\ bills and amendments to bills which
are not properly drawn and that many
flaws prove inefficient or conflicting be-
Rcause of lack of legal attention in con-
ynection with their drawing or phraseol-
ogy.
1t seems that the Guthrie county
man is making good start on the
move to make the state government
more efficient. One of the chief duties
& of the attorney general is to give an
opinion on the laws, and surely his
8opinion will be worth more before the
bill is made a law, than it will after
wards. His opinion on a law has no
legal standing az only the courts can
determine whether or not law is val-
i'd. But his opinion is worth great
! deal in the drawing of the bill, for at
THAT stage it can be changed to con-
form to what he believes is legal and
proper.
Senator. Fosters proposition Is sim
ply one to insure that the, legislators
look before they leap.

A MESSAGE TO YOUNG MEN.
The Harvester World, a publication

- MeoSAo6 " vOOsNA esSs
The Harvester World, publication
printed by the international Harvester
Co, recently contained some very
valuable advice for the young men
of the organization. Incidentally it ia
advice that fits almost any young man
who is ambitious and striving to get
ahead in the world. It follows:
Young men of the company through
out the world, some of you are conf
dent and sure that you are growing
and some Of you are impatient that
you are not being promoted more rap
idly. That impotence is the price
you pay for being young.
Some of you feel that you could do
the boss's job as well as he is doing
1t. Maybe you coulc, but the company
has not yet found it out. Give it time.
When you take the 0oss's place, you
must not do the job as we'll as he is
doing it now, but infinitely better.
That is the improvement each gener-
alton exacts of the one which follows
lit.
Figure out how many places lin the
organization will have to be filled
within the next few years. Retire
ments, deaths, designations, promo
tions, changes will vacate many places.
Things are not so stationary as you
think they are. All is change and
flux Keep your feet and bide your
turn. IS
a. great many young men now with
the company are destined to hold high
positions in the organization. Every
young man is sure of better place
II he is fit and II he does his part
Have you faith enough in yourself and
in the company to make you believe
in your future? II you have not, you
had better quit now.
One time a comparatively young
man was offered what was considered
one of the driest, deadest jobs in the
organization. He took it. His friends
thought he was buried. He now has
an enviable position with the COM
pany. Not so very long ago an /. H. G..
man was sent to an undesirable part
of another country. He never expect
ed to come back alive. He took out
naturalization papers in the new
country. He has since had an extra
ordinary promotion. Still another man
was sent to a hard post abroad. NO
one expected he would ever come
back. He now has one Of the highest
position with the company. These
men did their work better than it ever
had been done and better than anyone
thought 1t could be done. The com.
pany had to have them for better jobs.
II is impossible to bury good man.
All who can be buried are such as We
inter according to custom.
Don't waste your nervous energy
wishing for the other fellows place.
Do your own job SO well and like It
SO much that the company will not
let you keep 1t.

january %, 1866 Matte T. came to
brighten the home Of Rev. and Mrs.
william M. Hicks in Kentucky. she
was their second daughter and OF the
four born to them one preceded Matte
to the city that needs no sun. The TWO
remaining sisters are Mrs. G. T. Lie
Grand who resides in Ottumva. Iowa,
and Mrs. Francis Ashlock Of Meeting
Creek, KY. Meeting Creek, the place
where her father had SO often preached
was the place OF her birth, the place OF
her conversion and the place OF her
marriage to Hardin c. SmallwOod in
March, 1884.
Following her marriage the subject
of this sketch moved to Missouri and
there her daughter Mrs. Charles p.

hearts Of the happy parents glad; but
the young husband was doomed to
short wdded life and within the space
of two years the sad widow returned to
the home of her nativity. There she
remained until the year 1889 when she
decided to come to Iowa. Having lived
in the state seven years, in 1895 she
moved to this city which has been her
home ever since.
September 10, 1901 she contracted an
other marriage by becoming the wife OF
Lilburn E. Eslinger and who remains
among the suffering loved ones this
day.
In her fifteenth year Mrs. Eslinger
protested conversion and joined the
Baptist church. She was also member
Of the Eastern stars. Although she was
not strong woman physically. yet she
had rood health. and was intensely in
dustrious. Her illness that resulted in
death lasted about five weeks and she
slipped from this world as the sun was
setting Sunday evening January Z. 1917,
having been allotted SO years. IL months
and Is days, for iife's tasks.
Besides the loved ones mentioned
there remain many other relatives and
host of friends who suffer because OF
her departure.
The funeral service was held in the
late home. 5ss Ogden street January 9,
