UBIQUITOUS AGRICULTURAL EXPERTS.
The value of the "book farmer" and
agricultural expert to the particular
class his efforts are intended primarily
to benefit and to the country in general
is aptly illustrated by the announcement
Of a most important discovery by a
botanist of the agricultural department.
Mr. O. T. Cook reports that he has
found In Guatemala an ant that preys
upon the pests of the cotton fields and
^v'loffer* the reasonable probability of re
lief from the ravages of the cotton boll
weevil to the cotton planters of the
•oath. If these expectations are to be
realized the value of Mr. Cook's dis
eovery to the cotton growing states Is
entirely inestimable. So sure Is the
department of the Inestimable value of
this discovery that it has authorizd Mr.
Cook to command any needed assist
ance in money or men.
It is not claimed for the ant that it
exterminates the weevil, but in its na
tive haunts it succeeds in limiting their
'jinmohra to a degree, that slight, if any,
aitoage to the growing cotton is effect
less than a week ago the agricul
tural department took an absolutely
'hopeless view of its attempt to save the
'/.staple crop of the south from threaten
ing ruin. It was reported that every
Inexpedient applied up to that time had
|v failed utterly, and, unless some remedy
could be found, every cotton growing
^section north of the Gulf of Mexico
*would be at the mercy of the weevil.
I''The pecuniary loss already inflicted is
®8?I
Mtlmated in the millions or dollars
lience the reported discovery by Prof,
(took, even if results will not fully jus
fify sanguine expectations, will be ac
5iaimed as something like a providen
tial dispensation. The Guatemalan ant,
&-1t seems, is a relief rather than a cure,
%|but CUR It robs the weevil of its power of
^yholtesale destruction, it will come as a
irieeslng to the cotton grower. 7'
DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS.
More than one-4ialf the delegates to
the St. Louis convention have been
^chosen, but experts are as much at sea
over
the democratic nomination as be
fore. Five democratic conventions met
last week. Tennessee instructed for
'pgjfcer. Alabama favored him, Mary
land stood by Gorman and Arizona in
fitructed for Hearst.
The New Tfork Tribune believes last
week's showing is in a measure Cavor
efcle to Judge Parker. He got 46 out of
7# delegates elected. But he has now
only 176 delegates out of a ttrtoi of 560
Already chosen. Six hundred and six
ty-three votes will be required to nom
inate so that should Judge Parker
capture every one of the 434 delegates
yet'to be elected, he would still lack a
*wo-thirds majority. Of the states*
Ttrhich have not held conventions his
managers hope to get instructed dele
Iga&es from Georgia, Mississippi, Ver
jnont, and possibly Minnesota. They
%aye a reasonable chance in North
Carolina and Kentucky. But in Dela
ware, Virginia, Michigan, Illinois, Mis
uri,, Arkansas, I^ouislana, Texas,
Oklahoma, Indian Territory, North Da
kota, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and
Idaho the chances are rather against
them. There is nowhere any marked
enthusdasm for Judge Parker and the
delegates who support him lack entire
ly the stimulus of personal interest and
personal devotion. From present ap
pearances the chief judge will enter the
convention with perhaps 300 delegates
actually at his disposal. But the role
he will play at St. Louie will be largely
determined by influences quite beyond
his own personal control.
THE RARITY OF CHRISTIAN CHARITY
In another column a correspondent
calls attention to the rarity of Christ
lan charity under the sun in a plea for
the recognition of Christ's "little ones."
His article is evidently sincere and en
tirely worthy of perusal.
But, perhaps, our correspondent has
In mind special instances wherein this
laek of ChriBtlon charity are especially
^marked and noticeable and Is building
fsft wrong general hypothesis upon In
dividual cases. There is much that is
|wlcked and wrong and uncharitable in
|the world and there is infinitely more
Ithat is human and kindly and Christ
ian. The general trend of humanity
lis toward charity and the tendency of
Imankind is to care for the "little ones"
Jof whom the Savior spoke.
There are individual instances inside
land out of the churches, that tend to
V/' Jdestroy faith. Some of these are the
^mental manifestations of physical ill

disordered digestions others the in
heritance of small souls. There fire
those who would leave a Titian picture
to count lly specks on a window pane
to whom most men seem thieves, most
assertions lies, and most motives fly
blown. In private life they put an in
terrogation point after every human
act. As publicists or semi publicists
they search the sinks of human life
and rail at what they liml there. The
smaller of these carry private scandal
the greater abuse the privilege of free
speech nnd position to publish slander
against all humanity. They attract at
tention as a gong beaten in the market
draws a crowd. It is vastly to the cred
it of common humanity that these men
are abnormal. Not every man beats a
gong. We pass a thousand normal fac
es cursorily to turn and stare after one
scarred with disease or contorted with
pain. Human ciaarity and kindliness
and hope are normal conditions. The
pessimist and railer is out of tune with
the universe.
The man who believes most in gen
eral depravity believes least in God.
His fear of the devil overshadows his
confidence in his Creator. He loves
God best who loves mankind most. To
the evil all things are evil. It is the
misfortune of little souls to see small.
To a pig the walJ of his pen is the end
of the world.
That theft draws attention and hon
esty passes unnoticed is proof of the
universal prevalence of honesty. That
instances of uncharitableness repel us
is the best evidence that charity and
benevolence jp*e, normal conditions.
There is room for their greater exer
cise but a compsirison of past with pre
sent conditions can not fail to bring
the conviction that charity and human
helpfulness have gijown steaQily thru
all the centuries and are more widely
and sincerely practiced today than ever
before. Our asylums, hospitals, librar
ies and enormous benefactions for pub
lic good are only manifestations of the
spirit of human brotherhood. The
world Is better than It Has ever been
and today is the flower of all the yes
terdays in charity and good will as it
is in every other avenue of human pro
gress. It is a good world, growing bet
ter, and nearer to the Christ who count
ed us all amom? his "little ones."

Woman's innate tendency to overdo

success in physical culture, according
to Mine, de Goliere Davenport, who,

or fifty. Exercise in moderation is good
for every woman, she thinks, fencing,
swimming and riding being among the
most beneficial forms, when properly
followed. Clubwomen and fashionable
women are, strangely enough, the
principal detractors of physical culture,
she thinks, the ambition of the latter
leading them to sacrifice themselves,
their husbands and children, their
home duties, their own stomachs even,
to the inordinate craving for social
amusement. On the other hand, fash
ionable women frequently take it up
with great enthusiasm and make ex
cellent pupils.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.
"Professor Holden of the state agri
cultural college is acquiring reputation
as a kid gloved farmer who knows
something about farming," observes the
Dubuque Times.
"Who cares about standpatters and
the tariff when the fields are giving
evidence of a tithe-bringing which will
fill our barns and granaries to the
bursting point next October?" asks the
Orange City Herald.
Speaking- of American criticism of
public servants the Cedar Rapids Re
publican asserts "if we are a captiously
critical people, we are not altogether
uoappreciative. The evidence on tllis
point is overwhelming."
The Dubuque Telegraph hopes "that
Mr. Maxwell and his supporters on the
state committee will be insistent upon
his recognition as chairman of the com
mittee. They are clearly in the right
and their obligation is to be true to the
state convention and to the principles
they believe in. If to win their point
it is necessary to have a war at Iowa
City, then let there be a war the forc
es of radical democracy have become
accustomed to the war diet they have
fought long and valiantly and there is
much strength yet to draw upon."
The Vinton Etogle says that Gov.
Cummins' presence,, In the late state
convention exposed the fact that what
ever opposition there is to him is
strictly political. "As a man and a
citizen and governor," the Eagle adds,
"he is held in high esteem even by
those who believe he la not a safe par
ty man. The governor is an honest
man and no doubt he will carry out his
pledge, which is more than can be said
of some of his followers."
"Governor Cummins has regained
much of the political ground that he
lost by coming fairly and without bit
terness and standing on the platform
adopted at the late republican state
convention," declares the Fonda Times.
"Reciprocity Is dead! That Is be
yond question," says the Decorah Re
publican. "It had a brief but not a
glorious career but no treaty a repub
lican president may present to any
senate will ever secure the necessary
two-thirds majority. It will be useless
to try It."
The Davenport Republican thinks
"the attitude of the regents, in whose
hands the whole matter realy lies, since
they are responsible for the administra
tion of the affairs of the university ,is
a dignified and wholly proper one. No
member of the board Ib expressing
himself either one way or the other
with regard to President MacLean.
This indicates they will take no snap
judgment, but will endeavor to secure
fair play for both sides of the contro
versy."
"But Governor Cummins Is a repub
lican, first, last and all the time,"asserts
the Estherville Vindicator and Repub
lican. He is with the party wherever
it may place itself. But he is also a
man who has the courage of his own
convictions and he will continue to give
utterance to his honest opinions, no
matter though they may be at variance
with the platform. Would that there
were more like Governor Cummins."
LOOKER-ON IN IOWA::
Clear Lake, May 31.—The addresses
of the "posts" and "relief corps" on the
better observation of Decoration day
have caused much comment among
those interested in such matters,
and bring up again the whole
subject of base ball on Sun
day. A good brother in a nearby
town asked the writer how it was thai:
Marshalltown allowed such Sabbkit.i
desecration. What were the ministers
and church people thinking of to allow
R? To which the writer replied that he
understood the Ministerial Association
of Marshalltown had discussed the
matter in their meetings, had looked up
the laws referring to Sunday observ
ance, and find that unless some indi
vidual can prove that base ball players
are a nuisance to himself and family,
that they disturb the peac e, no Ieg-al ac
tion will amount to anything. That the
public at large, I. e., the state, can not
be disturbed, but individuals can be,
and have recourse. This le not given
here as a legal opinion or ruling, but
rather as a statement coming from
good legal authority. If this is true,
iV"
base ball as played and conducted in
Murshalltown can be carried on indefi
nitely, on Sundays, Decorutlon or any
other day. For instance, un a recent
Sunday l,r00 people gutneied together
at the driving park. They were ordeii,
and even the applause, whioh vas the
only noise to "disturb" an one, was no
louder than would come to un eloquent
speaker addressing such ail audience.
If thero was any profanity or vulgar
language, either on the diamond or in
the audience, none reached the ears of
the writer. No liquor or refreshments
were sold, and 110 drunken men were
seen or heard. Perhaps this will ex
plain Sunday base ball in Marshall
town.
Unquestionably this making a holi
day instead of a holy day of Sunday
does seetn an outrage to church mem
bers, but the fact stands out the major
ity in Marshalltown want a day or rec
reation, of rest by amusement and not
by attending church services or relig
ious meetings. That the reader re
marks "the more's the pity" does not
alter the fact. The same is true of Dec
oration day. There is something Incon
gruous in making such a day one of
amusement. There was of President
Cleveland going fishing on Decoration
day. Nevertheless the only remedy is
to educate the people.. The end of it
will come, the same as the Sunday
newspaper. When people stop buying
the so-called Sunday newspaper then
it will cease to be published. When
the people keep away from Sunday base
ball games, when it does not pay, that
will be the end of it. Here's a clipping
very much to the point on Sunday ob
servance and Mr. Scudder'a position is
now the generally accepted one. among
the thinking, reasoning clergymen in
our larger cities today.
HOW ABOUT SUNDAY GOl
And Other Amusements if Base Ball is
Illegal? Asks the Rev. Mr. Scudder.
The Rev. John L. Scudder, pastor of
the First Congregational church of Jer
sey City, in discussing Sunday base
ball said:
"Although I am not an advocate of
Sunday base ball I fail to see how the
authorities can put it into a class by
itself and discriminate against it.
"If they stop the grocery clerk from
playing ball they should also stop the
lawyer and banker from playing golf.
They should tell the rower to put up
his oars, and the man in the sail boat to
furl his sail. The Sunday automobile
should go out of business snd no bicycle
should appear on the boulevard."
He said he believed the whole ques
tion of amusement on the Sabbnth day
must be determined by the Individual
conscience.
We are told that there is likely to be
a first class "ruction" in the coming
July 19th state democratic convention.
That the democrats, feeling "the dis
grace" of sending a Hearst delegation
to the national convention, have re
volted against the platform and In
structions of the state convention
lately held to select delegates to the
democratic national convention. It
will be a funny spectacle if our dem
ocratic friends thus "go back on them
selves." The writer runs onto many
democrats in his travels, and finds this
condition generally. The "active" i. es
the leaders, the ones who attend to
things, were and are Hearst men. The
big majority who go to sleep and jn!y
wake up after the conventions are held,
most decidedly object to IoXva kC'fr'o"
known as a Hearst state.
And In reading this over the writer
finds that in only changing names al
most an Identical condition exists in
republican circles. Perhaps this is
more noticeable in parts of the stat*
where the Cummins men have been
and are in the majority. And it would
not surprise some if in the coming
state convention, July 20th, an attempt
was made to lessen the force of the
now obnoxious plank on "reciprocity
of non-competitive articles only." Even
the republicans who favored "har
mony" to the extent of letting the
Blythe-Young-Hill Seventh district
faction, run things, now see from out
side opinion that the republican party
of Iowa has placed itself outside of
"harmony" with former and probable
future national platforms on the tariff
question. The political pendulum has
swung so far the other way, that a
decided reaction has set in, and it may
be voiced in the coming convention,
July 20th. After the outside world has
read of our state conventions, both
democratic and' republican, there will
be no injustice in classing us with
sentimentalists, not to say in the crowd
of the radical, the unstable and not
standpatters in the broad sense of the
word.

CHRIST'S LITTLE ONES.
Vail, May 31.—Editor Times-Repub
lican: I think it grieves the true
follower of Jesus Christ more than
anything else to see how little there
really is in much of the praying,
preaching and teaching of the day.
How so few of the many so-called
Christians live Christ's teachings. How
easy it is to describe in glowing terms
Christ's humble life and our glorious
reward for living like him, while at the
same time by their every day lives
deiiy the Master, who taught that the
greatest must be least and that the
least ye have done unto one of the
least of these little ones ye have done
it unto me, willfully slighting these
very little ones who appear as not quite
their equal. Sometimes it is money,
education, etc., there are so many
things that make other people not
quite so good as they in their own es
timation. These little ones are certain
ly the great mass of people, needy for
the love of Christ. Many sometimes go
to church and would go again if they
hadn't got enough the last time they
went. To these little ones the life of
Christ appeals, because his life was
hard and he can sympathize with the
poorest for none are so poor as lie, but
the majority of his followers (or pro
fessed followers) present much more
the appearance of the Scribe and
Pharisee of old than the humble Master.
Anyone who has not noticed this truth
just let them go as a little one into any
of the churches or go to a convention
of any of the different organizations
where the leaders and those in author
ity meet to eulogise the life of Christ.
After having been and seen one can
not wonder that the people join differ
ent lodges in the search for brotherly
love, friendship, etc., all of which Christ
means his followers to present from
him and for him. What a victory for
Christ were his love and charity to
rule our churches rather than money,
pride and selfishness. Were the fol
lowers of Christ to open their eyes and
1 see the very ones always with them

WIIY BOYS LEAVE THE FARM.
[Eldon Review.]
Once there was a young man who felt
ready to leave home and left for the
city where he felt sure he could cut a
gash. He was tired of getting out with
the coal oil lantern about 3.45 a. m.,
to awaken the horses and curry them
and tease the milk away from a rest
less bossy and hurl a few lines of sus
tenance at the shotes.
He was out on the "east eighty"
doing things to the stubborn globe
ahout the time that jocund day stood
tip toe on the misty sand ridge. Along
about noon he would get back to th
house, and show a boiled dinner how
(o take a joke after dinner he would
pick out a soft spot under th.» chei ry
tree and try to sneak a siesta, but
f..f.?5er would rout him out and order
him back to the corn rows. Father
was a good man to work for. He never
ai ked the hoys to crowd a div?' work
in*o eight or or nine hours lie would
give him sixteei hours necessary.
Jnson had instructions to Kr-o.-k of

dark he couldn't see the team. Aft'-r
