Should Get Rid of Secrecy.

What we want to do is to get rid of
informed as to what is actually hap
pening. The object Of the federal pub
licity bureau is to make information
available to all the country. Our en-
tire aim Is to lay bare the facts as they
exist from day to day. There never
will be a question asked in Washington
that true answer will not be in
stantly forthcoming.
The pleasantness or unpleasantness
Of the facts will have no bearing upon
any portion Of them being withheld
The American is not a coward, and the
results Of our policy will show that he
will bear up aud fight harder under de-
feat than he will at any other time
The American thrives on publicity, and
he will die on secrecy"

ANNUAL STRUGGLE IN HOUSE.
Fight Over River and Harbor Bill
Now Raging Fiercely.

The annual struggle between the op-
ponents and advocates Of river and har-
Dor improvement appropriations is now
raging in the House with the usual
ferceness and attendant rhetorical
pyrotechnics. and promises to continue
several days.
Pork" cries one side and "penurious-
ness" retorts the other. The main argu-
ment of the supporters Of the bill is
that the projects under way and partly
completed must be kept up or the
money thus far expended will be a
total loss The resistants object that
new and unnecessary undertakings
have been tackled onto legitimate plans
for improvement. The republicans, fol-
lowing Minority Leader Mann. are at
lacking the bill vigorously.

WHAT ONE MAN DID,

Cherokee Times: One frequently
hears the statement that the young
men of the present day has no chance
to get ahead or to accumulate proper.
ty and that at present high prices Of
land it is an impossibility for a young
man starting with nothing to become
the owner Of an Iowa farm. All this
is disproven in the experience of Joel
Benson, who last week purchased the
Reuben Warburton farm of 100 acres
for $30,S30, or $193 an acre. Eight
years ago Benson, young Swedish
boy, came to America without a cent
and in debt to others for his passage
over from Sweden. He lost no time
in waiting for something to turn up,
but went industriously at work and
has been at it ever since. Engaging
in farming, his industry. his careful
management and his good judgment
soon began to count. Five years ago,
when he moved onto the Banks Perry
farm, he had accumulated some farm
equipment, some livestock and lot
of experience. From that time his
progress has been rapid and he soon
became recognized as one Of the most
successful farmers in the county
When he purchased his new farm he
was able to make a cash payment of
$4,000 and when he moves to it next
spring he will take with him an excel.
lent farm equipment and plenty of
livestock. What Benson has done
others can do if they will apply them.
