Milton Lover Of Liberty.

Milton was no democrat: equality
and fraternity were not his trade.
though liberty was his passion. Lib
erty he defended against the tyranny
Of the mob, as Of the king. He pre-
ferred republic to a monarchy, since
he thought 1t less likely to interfere
with the independence Of the private
citizen. Political liberty, liberty Of
worship and belief, freedom Of the
press, freedom of divorce, he asserted
them all in turn with unsurpassed
eloquepce. he proposed q scheme Of
education reformed from the clogs Of
precedent and authority. Even his

" lYN tual meaning
& OF the word
has been interpreted in several
ways. Some say it means beau
tiful land" but the more likely
derivation Is the Algonquin word
"ajawa" which means across"
or beyond" This was probably
applied to this tribe of Indians
by the Illinois tribes who were
hostile to them, and resided on
the eastern side of the Missis-
sippi river. The early white Wis
itors to this region included Mar
quette and Joliet, who landed
here on their explorations of the
Mississippi in 1878.
The first settlement was made
by a French Canadian named
Julian Dubuque. He obtained
In 1883 q large grant of land
from the Indians, where the
city which was named after him
now stands. Here he flourished,
mining lead and trading with the
Indians, until his death In 1910,
when this settlement was given
up.
With the acquisition Of the
Louisiana Purchase In 1903.
Iowa, which was a part Of this
huge territory, came into the
hands Of the United States from
France. At first Iowa was a
part Of the Louisiana territory.
then Of Missouri territory. Later
1t formed a portion Of Michigan
territory and then Of Wisconsin
territory. In 1888, however, it
attained a distinct individuality
when 1t was formed into the
Iowa territory.
Pioneers soon came in large
numbers and about 1882 a SUBJ
stantial settlement was made
near Burlington, and Dubuque
was founded in 1888. The popu-
lation grew SO rapidly that in
1916 Iowa was admitted as the
twenty-ninth state Of the Union.
Its area is 56,147 square miles
and 1t has thirteen presidential
electoral votes.
Iowa Is familarly called the
Hawkeye State.

Why Not Be
Optimistic?

THIS country isfall right nothing wrong at all, ex-
cept natural result of the universal strain put
on all industries during the war period. We are now
gradually settling down to a normal condition, and
there is no cause for uneasiness. We have more
money here than ever before and the additional
wealth has been pretty well distributed, too The
farmer has made more money in the last five years
than he has ever made before the same is true Of the
aboring classes, and the merchant who operated his
business honestly and honoraby should have made a
fair gain. We are all going to lose part of this on
the downward slide before we reach level going
again. we should be willing to do so and therefore do
it cheerfully as well as promptly, ordex to hasten
the settling downprocesss
Wewant to say in fairness tomost manufacturers at
least those in the hardware and kindred lines that
they apparently are making an effortt bring prices
down to conform with the prices received by con-
sumer and we are receiving new and lower quota
lions quite regularly as you will notice by the num-
Der Of items have reduced during the last three
months. The new prices go on the goods we have
on hand as soon as the new prices reach us.
However, the buying public have duty to perform
in this matter as well as the producer maker and
seller That is purchase what you are reasonably
sure you will need in the near future and thus help
to keep the wheels Of industry moving. If you do
not you are likely to find that when the day comes
that.you actually need the goods there will be a
shortage, and this condition boosts
the price-so you will not only be doing good turn
for the country generally, but probably making
money for yourself.

What. the Matter with Socialism

"hae SuS NAattor with SOCIALISM
We saw a copy of the Appeal to
Reason the other day. This name
may be dimly familiar to the av-
erage reader, but the chances are,
he won't be just exactly sure
whether it's a book of the late De-
witt Talmadge's sermons or a new
sex novel. 1t is, as a matter of
fact, socialist paper, that has
been published for the past twen-
ty seven or eight years at the
,Reighboripg otownlof Gifard. Ten
years ago we fancy not less than
a hundred copies Of the Appeal
came weekly to this post Office
1t was then at the heyday of it's
prosperity, and boosted a regular
circulation Of more than a half a
million copies.
In big box-like letters, the APP
peal, in the current issue, asks,
What is the matter with socialism?
1t admits that the movement has
lost ground by miles and leagues,
until it has no organization no
sOap-box orators and practically
no newspapers.
The article closes with a hectic
promise that it's going to give it's
readers a whole lot more of the
same kind Of dope it's been put
ting out through all these years.
Surely, it feels with this assurance
the old crowd should come back
and send in their long withheld
subscriptions.
That a professional socialist
should have sense enough openly
TO admit that his cause is on the
bum is a hopeful sign. But that
he should profess not to know
what brought on the present
mighty Bolshevik slump is\some-
thing of a joke.
All in the world that's the mat
ter with socialism is the unpleas-
ant little fact that it's adoption
inevitably means rags, famine,
chaos, ruin. Outside Of this slight
economic miscarriage, socialism is
not dead. 1t will come again but
not until the world has forgotten
what it is like. Even a soap-box
agitator knows this much, and
he's not going to soap-box any
more until things shift around to
where the worlds actual expert
ments with Socialism have grown
sufficiently dim in the public mind
that at least few Of the worst
nuts and cranks will gather around
and listen to his sinister and brain.

"Baby for Sale"

Such a sign appearing on a fence
along a modern highway might
lead one to believe they were trav-
cling in another country, yet just
such a sign as this lead to the plac-
ing of an increased valuation on a
farm in Kansas as told in a Pixies
Peak Highway meeting held re-
Gently in a town in that state.
At the end Of the meeting a
farmer.arose and said he had never
appreciated the value Of a Modern
Highway to a farm on it until an
incident happened last summer
which brought it to light. He said,
he hadsome "baby chicks forsale"
and had put black board with a
chalk sign out on his fence facing
the highway advertising this fact,
In a few days the chicks were all
sold and his brother came out on
Sunday and seeing the sign rubbed
out the word chicks leaving the
sign reading Baby for sale. ,
The day following his wife noticed
the tourists going by laughing and
pointing to the sign, so she went
down to investigate and becoming
quite provoked at the joke she
The Jasper news. [volume] (Jasper, Missouri) 1898-1924, 1921-10-06

rubbed out the word "Baby" so
the sign then read "For Sale"
Two weeks after the farmer re-
ceived a letter asking what he
wanted for his farm and asking
some other information about it.
He wrote back and said he had no
intention of selling the farm and
wanted to know how the man got
such an idea. In due course came
the mans reply that he had seen
the sign on the fence and finding
no one at home had taken the lib
erty of examining the property and
was prepared to offer the owner
Of the property $4,000 per acre
for it. The farmer said he had
valued fireplace at possibly 500. 90
per acre but no more. When the
above incident happened however
he Immediately raised his valu-
alton to the higher figure because
a tourist travelling by on the high
way had made the land worth that
much to him.-The Modern High
way.
