The editor happened to he in an Iowa citjr'
where Madame Sliumaiin lleink, tlie famous
singer, appeared in a rcital. People for
hundreds of miles around were them for the
event. It so happened that an old man who
had planned to he there was taken sick a day
or so before and the
Hon. R. A. Booth, doctor said that it was
An Appreciation. impossihle for him to
leave his home. Mad
ame lleink on hearing of thh secretly slip
ped away and went to the house and sang
for him. Some people said u was an m
vertising stunt, others said that her heart
ahvavs went out to the needy, neglected and
poor. She looked hack to her own past,
when she was a poor working woman with
seven crying hahies at her leet, how the de
site to le a singer came to her, how she
mastered Italian and French for the great
operas are mostly sung in those languages
how she struggled and how she finally won.
And so it is with all people who have to
work for what they possess. Things re
ceived without effort are usually worth whal
thev cost. Only those people who have had
to deal with hard necessity ever accumulate
money, ideas, or position. Such men are the
kind to anchor to. One of these men is
Hon. K. A. Booth, the Republican candidate
for United States Senator.
Mr. Booth ate dinner at the liolne of the
editors on Friday night of Fair Week, at
least we dignify it with that term. We
didn't, have much to eat hut we told him that
we expected to fare bettor when the Repub
licans got in but he would have to share
with us at least for that meal.
Mr. Booth is a man who has come up from
the ranks. He is one of the demos, the com
mon people. He has a linn irrnsp on tin
primal virtues industry, economy, good
health and right thinking. He is a business
man and the main thing in business is to get
the thing done. There are hundreds of re
formers going about the country telling
other people how Big Business should be
dornv Hot ijio of then) has ovi' nimlp a ssny
cess of any business ventures w'orthy of at
tention. Mr. Booth is no reformer, for the
only man who needs reforming is the reform
er. He believes in reforming yourself, only
in this way will the world ever be freed from
worry, want, and woe.
If Mr. Booth goes to Washington he will
go well equipped, lie holds a diploma from
a recognized University, lie also belongs to
the University of Hard Knocks, he is alwavs
going to school. Big Business and 1ittli
Business will be treated fairly by him. Ib
believes in Women's Kiuhts. expressed in
laws, not in the hazy horizon of the future.
He is courteous ami kind, business assets
these days and no complaint is too small to
receive his attention, lie is no partisan, he
has a universal mind and understands the
difficulties of all.
He told us that one of the greatest, pleas
ures of his life was the time he spent with
his children and grandchildren. He also re
marked thai he gets great pleasure out of
making the kitchen lire. Most of the lime
they have no servant and it devolves upon
him to split the kindling and start the lire.
Mrs. Hootli does the cooking but he modestly
asserts that he is no mean cook. Kunning
a government is nothing more than house
keeping extended. Some people have the
idea that it requires a different kind of an in-
l i i.i .i t . ...
tuvioiiai than the ordinary kind to go to
Washington. I hat idea is passing out,
thanks to such men as Hon. K. A. Booth.

dependent, he call and has cared well for him
self mid will bring this same ability to the
service of the state. The state needs such
men. We have had a surfeit of reformers,
imitators and drifters, we want more practi
cal, common sense, constructive thinking
men, such men as the Hon. U. A. Booth.
the practice of stealing exhibit?!. A man who
will steal a fair exhibit will rob a bank and
should be treated in somewhat the same man
ner. You can say,that people who do this do
not think what they are doing but it is hard to
convince the courts of this and rightly so.
Such people who have these tendencies
should be taken care of for society can not
tolerate such practices, we are too busy look
ing after things of more importance. They
are on the side ol expense and the idea now
is to cut down the expense, take up the
economic slack and in the process such peo
ple are quietly dropped in the dustbin of
time.

It's The Little
Things That Count.
The last time the editor happened to be in
Chicago he saw several roofs of skyscrapers
devoted to children's gardens. The Boan
of Education had rented some, others wen
offered free by their owners for the use o
the children. Hen
The Matter of were children with

had never seen a blade of grass, a few who
had been at the parks had, but the great ma

had never been innny blocks from th.ijr Inane

to bear in the matter. The educational ideal;
i 1. .. i ; - . . i i i
nun me now coming io me lore empliasizii,
that the child must pass through all tlnV
stages of development which the race has
progressed and Hie reason that some people
are always and forever behind in the great
game nf life is simply because they require
longer periods of time to pass through these
changes which evolution has wrought. Kvery
child passes through thesavage, nomadic,
agrarian, ami commercialistic ages and un
less he fully experiences lliem he labors un
der a handicap which lasts through his davs.
Kvery child should be provided with a plot
of ground which lie can exercise his agrarian
impulses in. Such exercise is commendable
for many reasons. He labors in the great
out-of-doors where ozone abounds and sun
light and fresh air will add cubits to his
stature. He will be on chummy terms with
all the wonderful things whicli grow, creep,
crawl, crow, run and swim. Thus will ho
evolve kindness and sympathy for dumb
animals and form an appreciation for (lowers,
fruits, and freedom. It will be noted that he
will accept responsibility and trust for these
are implied in the care, cultivation and mana
gement of the ground. Not only in these
ways w ill he form habits for good but he w ill
lay aside a small saving account w hich should
not he overlooked. If he is industrious, a
luiiigs a degree ot business ability, Mich as
Miss Josephine Woolery and Kenneth P.inns
do, he will measure his success in a matter of
many dollars.
This was something which educators have
pleaded for, preachers have prayed for and
which is just now being realized. No man
who saw the Children's Kxhibit at the fair
can help but seeing the advantages of teach
ing children to work and to work intclli
gently with their hands. When children in
the cities show such eagerness t. work in
these roof gardens. miivIv we who lie where
land and opportunity are cheap and in ahund
ance, can afford to provide them witli a fair
sized place to express themselves. ,rt the

these now it the time to take advant

good habit to drop into their market
occasionally, it will mean money in
