Col. Smith j. Brookhart has Just
bought an sS-acre farm OF Wellston,
Iowa. Most OF the land is covered by
light growth of timber. and the
Brookhart boys will spend the sum-
mer there getting 1t ready for cult
vation.--Des Moines Register.
Mr.. Brookhart by buying this farm
proves his confidence in Iowa land
and shows that he has no fears of the
dire things he said the Esch-Cum-
Minis law is going to inflict upon the
farmers Of Iowa. BY the simple act of
investing in So acres Of land he re-
flutes the main arguments he indulg-
ed in while trying to fool the people
Of this state into supporting him for
United States senator. One would
think. II he believed what he was
saying, that he would not want to
invest perfectly good coin in farm
lands.
NO CAUSE FOR EXCITEMENT.
Huntington Hawkeye.l
There was no great excitement over
idge. The people were Interested and
nothing more.
There is no great excitment over
the proceedings Of the democratic ma
tional convention at San Francisco.
There is less excitement. than there
is over a championship game.
And tho reason Is not difficult to
find.
With Wilson eliminated from the
game, everybody was Convinced that
the coming administration must be
an Improvement Upon what we have
had. Come what might, it would not
be like the rule of the professor.
I And SO they asked about the news
and then went on looking after their
own affairs. They realized that "alrs
we'll with the world and that this
country had passed thru the worst
and that better things and better
times were sure to come. 1t could not
be otherwise. Any change meant an
Improvement.
And Knowing that. why grow ex-
cited?
THE FARMER AND THE POCKETS
lS0uaT ItupldS
A farmer who is very busy, so
busy that he does not have time to
shave himself-and he can not cut
his own hair-cafne to town the
other night--he can not leave his
plows and rakes while the daylight
llasts-and had these services per-
formed for him. He has written a
letter III spite of the fact that he Is
busy and he asks this paper to write
something aabout it on the editorial
page" He refers to matters In the
vicinity of the Magnus hotel. II
see they have dirty /. walking
around the Magnus hotel with u
sign on him. He has sneaking
look on his face and acts like he is
afraid some one will jump on him
.. /. Why not send that I. !. to
working long hours to help feed that
sort that don't believe in working
We have printed enough OF the
letter to give the farmers viewpoint,
and If we p;@ited it all it would
start a riot and we are bound to
help keep the peace. And having
permitted our farmer friend to ex-
press himself. in excerpts it is not
necessary to say much editoriaily
with "the sneaking face" Is employed
by the BARRIERS union to advertise
the fact that one of the shops keeps
open after hours. 1t is their bust
ness. altho it is bit silly the way
they have gone at 1t. The sand
witch man is more OF a joke than
anything else and he is something
Of a horrible example. If we be-
longed to any union we would pro-
test the exhibition as one that
tends to bring all unions into some.
