such disposition of a portion of Ins
estate as Mr. Leghorn has made. We
have numerous educatiomfl instulions
that are sadly in need of endowment,
and they nnist be p~rpetuated and eu-
couraged. We cannot look alone to
such centers of learninlz as the Chi-
cago University, to provide all tim
higher educational opportun ties nec-
essary. The an-called small colleges
will always have a field. And as long as
humanity endures, such institutions as
Mr. Leghorn remembered will appeal
powerfully to the generously disposed
for support.

To all appearances Chicago's peace
jubilee in October will be right up to
date, if not ahead.of it.
The wealth 8f the United States is
estifi~ated by Prof, Mulball at 81,7501
000,000, or nearly 832,000,000 more than
tnat of any other govi~l'nment in the
world. :~
.
Senator Allison ~i~ a, man of hard
work and responsible ,cares, yet he is
one of good health. This is attributed
to the fact that he never worries. The
moral is easy. Don't worry.
With the harvest nicely over and
present conditions delightful and en-
couraging, the farmers are looking for-
ward to the re-unions and pleasures of
the district fairs with happy anticipa-
tion.
Between the American desire to be
truly magnanimous and do the right
thing and characteristic treacherous
Spanish diplomacy, even gallant Uncle
Sam is having a hard time to keep
patient.
The mistakes of "Teddy" Roosevelt,
unlike those of a good many other pro-
minent leaders, seem to bring him
nearer to the hearts of the people than
ever. There is no taint of selfishness
or insincerity in "Teddy's" endeavors.
The Cedar Rapids Gazette called the
exposition at Omaha a fake. That was
before it had personally iuvestigated.
The editor then attended and despite
"fo~'eordination" had to publicly de-
clare as strongly in favor of it as any
other delighted visitor.
Colonel Daws is winuing the admira-
tion of friends and a majority of his
late constituents by his position re-
garding intoxicating drinks in his regi-
ment. in not allowing them brought
among his men at all he is but follow-
ing the latest and best convictions of
military leaders as well as those of a
temperate and peace loving people.
"We can not believe that Congress-
man Updegraff reaUy said"damn the
press". The press will be a potent
force in Iowa after all the present Con-
gressmen are dead." This paragraph
'from the Cedar Rapids Republican
illustrates what happened to a public
man who got too far away from the
people and did not heed their public
voice, the press. We regret to see a
good man "turned down" at any t~me
but it is only by such examples that
prestige is kept on the side of the peo-
ple in public affairs.
A certain ~ngressional district in
Maine and S~ker~ Reed still form a
mutual admirgion combination. Thi}
too in spite of the fact that the brainy
leader and his constituents do not hold
tLe same views regarding all public
questions. It issimply a ease of khow.
lug a good thing when you have it.
James Legl orna's Example.
Cedar Ea~lds Republican.
For some year~ James Leghorn had
been a citizen of'Cedar Rapids, known
only to a rather limited circle of friends
and acquaintan@s. IIe had lived here
quietly and uno~entatiously for some-
thing, Hke eight ~ears.* Prior to this he
had Lived upon ~farm not many redes
from Cedar Rat~ds. By
Of industry, fru~ality and
the one sure roa~to wealth,
cumulated a condider~ble sum of men-
ey. When it came to the disposition
of these savings (if a life time, three in-
Stitutions, especially near to the hearts
of the good people of this city were
substantially remembered, as his will
directs that the sum uf three thousand
dollars shall go to each of the foUow-
lug institutions, to-wit: The Old Lad-
i~a' IIome, the Hdme for the Friend-
less and St. Luke's hospital. With the
exception of the provisions made by
the Sinclair family for benefactions to
Coo college, this ill perhaps the largest
individual contribution to local institu-
tions made by a oitizen of this town.
The Republican trusts that the exam-
ple which.has been given by this plain,
quiet but subsatatial man, will' be as
seed sown upon good ground.
We are just reaching that period in
the development o~our western civiliza-
tion where we may expect such things
to become everyday occurrences, as
they are now every day occurrences in
the older states of the east. We have not
passed sO very far beyond the pioneer
days. The mighty triumphs of science
have hastened the progress of develop-
ment so wonderfully that we are prone
to forget this fact, but we know if we
stop to think that we are just reaching
the time when the accumulation of
considerable fortunes has been possible,
and that until now it was not to be ex-
pected that large contributions to ed-
ucational and charitable purposes
would be made.
The Republican believes that every
successful man owossomething to the
community in which he has resided,
above and beyond that which he has
contributed in the way of taxes. And
if he has sufficient money and property
beyond tllat which is necessary to pro-
vide for the future comfort of his
family, he ought of right to make some
"Unquestionably
trade theUnited States has ever had
was the year ending the ~Oth of June,
1898. The record of this most remark-
able year becomes e~p~ially interest-
ing when compared with that of preced-
ing years.
"Not only does the year s record sur-
pass that of any previous year in the
total exportations and the exports of~
manufactured articles, but for the first
time in the history of the country the
exports are twice as gre~t as the Ira-
ports, and the 6xports of manufactur-
ers exceed the imports of manufactur-
ers."
The article will make every populist
and every 16 to 1 democrat weep. Just
think of the admission and the state-
merits it makes. Under thegold stand-
ard and the hated Dingley tariff law,
the trade showing of the past year is
the greatest in the country's history.
It is a democrat who says it, a demo-
crat who has ~aade a life long fight for
his party. It closes the argument.
Special Care for the Dog,
The Chicago Times-Iierald in an
editorial under the above caption says
that it is au easy road from misunder-
standing to hydrophobia, and an in-
nocent but excited dog in August may
be hustled in short measure to tlm
worst of reputations and ignonimous
death--owing to the excited state of
his master and the community.
Dependent upon others for most of
natural demands of a trying season, if
left to want, vile food and dirty water
it is no more than could be expected
that something should go wrong; while
upou the other hand if carefully feed,
with fresh water where he can get it at
any time and a shady retreat to rest in
out of the sun aud away from the flies
there is not as much danger of a dog's
going mad as of the average human
going crazy, if the owner of a dog is
too indifferent to the animal's com-
fort and the feelihgs of his neighbors
to do this much he should be relieved
of the responsibility of ownership.
Continuous Advertising,
Kimball Graphic.
It costs the Boyal" Baking Powder
Company something like $500,000 an-
nually for advertising. Someone once
suggested to the company that it dis.
continue advertising one year, the bak-
ing powder was so well known and ad-
vertised, and place that amount--
$500,000--in the profits. The answer
was that it would undoubtedly cost the
company three times that amount to
get the product in its original channels
agaiu. This is a pretty good pointerto
those business men who imagine they
are making a great sa~ing when they
discontinue a $4 or a $6 a month ad-
vertlsement a few months in dull sea-
son. It never pays to tear ou~ a dam
because the water is low.
