But, says some one. we must
have a certain amount of
trained and uneducated labor to
shovel dirt and drive mules, and
milk cows. I deny it I tell
you rather that there is no task
under heaven which an
gent man cannot do better and
cheaper than an unintelligent
man. We need no
rant labor. Farmers in the
South have grown poor hiring
the ignorant to take one
mule plow an acre of land a
day three or four inches deep,
but farmers in Iowa have grown
rich by paying several times as
much to an intelligent white man
to take three horses and plow
four acres a day six to eight
inches deep.
We must educate and train all
our people. We must increase
the efficiency, intelligence, skill
and energy of our average man.
The man, white or black,
whose efficiency is above par is a
help, and the man whose
is below par is a hind-

To help forward every agency

of the boys and girls not the

Judgeships used to be
positions of dignity, but
that characteristic seems to be
entirely lost in the present
scramble.

for from his own township, and
the people there believe in him
and stand by him He is a be-
man and has won the
love and respect of his neighbors
by his open handed generosity
and willingness at all times to
come to their rescue. During
the many years when he was
magistrate in his township, he
settled many petty cases rather
than have them carried to court,
with the result that many
of dollars were saved
the public welfare protected.
He was sought for his advice
and counsel, and his general in-
formation was such in
able instances he has saved his
people from paying attorney's
lies in such simple matters as
writing mortgages, deeds, etc.
The State is to be congratulated
on his appointment to this
but many of his friends con-
dole with him, for in accepting
the place there is no doubt that
it is a great personal sacrifice of
his own interests.

The city fathers might with
good effect give the streets a
little cleaning up before the
visiting come to town
Friday, and make things look
better than when the teachers
were here last Saturday. We
heard some visitors here that
day remarking upon the filthy
appearance of Evans street.
The Reflector believes this hint
and bis upon their
decision. So when they decided
his case and he got knocked in
the bead and came to life
they would give him the right
hand of fellowship and put him
to work.
And now, Mr. Editor, alter
thinking over this thing and that,
I am somewhat inclined to think
that with the passing in review
of so many cf our legal fraternity

right of the
who has lately deceased, I
cannot help recalling to my mind
the foregoing. It looks to me
like a scramble with the dignity

Why, sir, if I were a Democrat
I'd cut my throat before I would

And wisely we say, I
reckon the president thinks like

And so I reckon Mr. Taft must

than any in the union. Why
don't they stand on their legal

Why Some Persons Cling t Things

The attic instinct hangs on
I sad an eye can
tell many your- a person has
lived in the city by merely glancing
under her bed. I f there are three
hat boxes one will letters,
one scraps of ribbons and
it's a man it's clippings
and one anything from a broken
lock to old road maps. If. beside
these, there are bundles of ,
and pile of s-t

green umbrella that one might

will think from an attic point
of view for the rest of their lives,
and their family might as well be-
come resigned.
When people are willing to make
themselves disagreeable over n bit
of string and absolutely
on the subject of stray pieces of
, brown paper they should not be ac-
of having had dispositions,
I nor should they suspected of do-
it to annoy one. They are
suffering from tho attic in-
and cannot help themselves.
Their characters were formed and
have now hardened for a scheme of
life where certain things were
kept in the cellar, others in
the wood shod, others in the pantry
and the cupboard on the first floor,
still others in the closets on the
next floor, and everything and any-
thing that overflowed from any of
these places was just taken up to
