oTTuMWA, sept. ~, 1913.
Mr.. EDIToR.-I understand that
Gen. Weaver has on different occa-
sions, in his speeches in this and 9TH
er counties, asserted that the publish
ed report of his Newton speech, of
June 29th, was not correct report of
what he said on that occasion and
that it was no more like the speech he
actually delivered than day is like
night. 1t is simply question of We
racity between the General and my
self, and in confederation of my claim
that the report is correct, I desire you
to publish the following statement l
have received from certain gentle
men of Newton, Iowa, 80 that by the
mouth of two-yes, six-witnessea, ev-
cry word shall be established, wit
nesses whose trnthfulness the Gener-
al will probably not undertake to
impeach.
The General claims he should have
been notified previously Of the inten-
ton to report the speech, and also had
an opportunity to correct (?) the re-
port before publication. Such has
not been the custom, to my knowl.
edge, in reporting the addresses of
any public speakers, and more espe-
cially that of political speakers, who
frequently make bold, partisan state
ments, that they do not wish or expect
to be printed and published.

We present the above that our
readers may see the comparative
growth Of Cedar Rapids when placed
beside other prominent cities in the
State. The figures from our neigh
boring places are from reliable
sources, and we take occasion now to
thank those who so kindly answered
our interrogations.
Cedar Rapids, in all probability,
has more than the number of inhab-
itants given, at the present time,
judging from the regular yearly in
crease, as per the city directory, and
adding the comparative increase for
the fifteen months since the direc.
tory was issued. With the figures
our city is the only one that has
more of an increase in population
since 1870 than it had at that
time. Marshalltown follows up
very closely as does also the capital
Des Moines. Sioux City makes 4 fine
comparative showing. Iowa City,
for an inland city, does not show up
"a we'll 40 it should, when its location
facilities, &C., are considered. Now
that Clinton lie getting some outlets
and better railroad communication
with the outside world, it will dc
better. The river towns, it will BIZ
noticed, are not growing as rapidly a
the others. The metropolis Of lows
seems to be contested between Du
buque and Burlington, and from thei1
reports received, which were rather
indefinite as to present population
there is tie. The latter city ha
made many improvements during
the past year and we would not b.
surprised to hear that the metropoli
falls ON Burlington within the mex
four years, but if everything work
as favorable for Cedar Rapids in tn
next ten years as it has in the past
we would be less surprised to see tn
census give it the metropolis. w
feel proud Of all the cities, but til
brethren of the press must pardon u
if we speak .boast'ngly, for it is don
will all due respect for our fine pros
porous sister cities. Ottumwa is on
of the very best cities in the Stat,
J and should have appeared in tn
above list, but in some manner wa
overlooked.--Ceddr Rapids Republ,

about change in costume:

crinoline again in full glory or some
new substitute, as / am convinced a

coming. Fashion often jumps from
one extreme to the other. It is GER
tainly almost an impossibility to 90
much further in the present style of
tight-titting costumes; then, again,
