Her idea Of Peppcr,

She was We maiden of three summers.
accustomed to the simplicity of the nursery
table, and with taste unvitiated by the
use of spices. She was allowed the other
day to come to the family table, where she
was especially interested in the mystery Of
the pepper-box, an article which had ap-
parently never before come within the linn
its of her observation. She watched with
close attention while her papa peppered
something, and then with the utmost grav-
ity and politeness, she extended her plate,
saying:
Please put little dirt on mine: too.

One of the Beautles Of the New Law

The fare to Des Moines has been raised
from $3.50 to 1926. This is in accord
ance with the law passed by the Legisla-
ture requiring strictly mileage charge.
Perhaps this will suit the persons who were
crying for law. but we Judge that the strict
construction of the law will cost the peo-
pie of Iowa a large sum of money. In the
meantime, when you go to Des Moines,

Business Prospects.

The New York Commercial Bulletin, one
Of the leading commercial papers OF the
country, in discussing the business pros
poets under the above caption, says;
The week has been one OF waiting and
certainty. 1t is not TO be disguised that the
delay in congressional action causes much of
the embsrrassmel and hesitation which ap-
pear in business circles Servian emblrrass.
mept would be threatened by the failure OF
Congress to make auy provision for the reduc-
ton Of revenue. II is known to business men
that the Secretary of the Treasury, as he has
officially stated, has used, A. lar as he deemed
1t safe to use, all the powers nj his command
iOr the prevention Of difncnity arising from
the accumulation Of money in the treasury.
IT is known that he iees tnat he cannot with
safety increase beyond about $50 900 100 or s5O,-
tO0CG0 the deposits in banks ani that this
limit has now been reached. In consequence
Il steady withdrawal Of money from circull
lion has again begun, because the sum col.
lected by the treasury exceeds the sum which
can be disbursed under existing appropria.
tions. Already the Curtailment amounts 70
about s., 100000 TO $1,000 GOO weekly, and II is
known that this shrnkage must continue until
Congress provides some remedy, Business
men also know that such Il withdrawal OF cur
rency from use must surely involve depression
IN many markets. The fear that depression
may eusue stops enterprise, investment, and
purchases beyond present needs, AMI thus con-
tributes powerfully to a general stagnation.
Unless Congress takes some steps in the matter
before long the situation viii no longer be one
Of mere waiting.
We can see no reason why the Secretary
Of the Treasury should feel that he cannot
with safety increase the deposits in the
banks beyond fifty or sixty million dollars
when for every dollar deposited he has 6
dollar in United States bonds worth from
10s to l26 cents as security.
II the Secretary would loan $l0O,O00,0OC
upon such security 1t would be the very
est possible method of dlsposing OF the
surplus In the treasury, and banks aud bond
holders would be very glad to take it pay,
i.s two Per cescis. per as..a.n interest upon
Ill the money, thus reducingthe interest oil
100000, 900 worth OF United States bond:
from four to two million dollars. There Il
no law to prevent this disposal OF the funds
and there is every reason in favor Of 1t. II
the Secretary has the right, as he un.
doubtedly has, to deposit fifty or sixty
million, he has undoubtedly the right tc
deposit one hundred million, or more II the
needs Of the country require 1t.

Mistake OF Mr.. Benedict.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,! Mr.
Benedict is laboring hard to smirch the
character OF his predecessor by assailing
his integrity, aud attempting to show that
Mr.. Rounds's administration OF the affairs
of the government printing office was venal,
II Mr.. Benedict had been content to rest
his case upon his own merits he would have
Jared much better than he Is likely to in the
investigation now In progress; comparisons
are odious, and in the present Instance
particularly so. 1t Is, indeed, Hyperian to
a Satyr. Mr.. Rounds went voluntarily from
the position he mad so honorably filled. His
administration was such an one as to bring
commondation and applause from officers
OF the government, irrespective OF political
bias, and TO win the respect and esteem Of
bis employees. Uniformly courteous In his
demeanor toward those With whom he had
official or social intercourse, he impressed
all with whom he came In contact that he
was true gentleman. His
business methods were not of the "Cheap
john rider; he made no offensive parade
OF bis superior qualifications for the posi-.
tion he held; lie did not attempt to throw
odium and discrcdit upon his predecessors
administration, although his predecessor
was in his grave aud could not rise to con-
front and cnntouud him; although q strong
p9rty man, he was not so narTow-minded
and bigoted as to prescribe an employe on
account of difference in politics; he never
tolerated, let alone encouraged, system
of spies and Gformers; he was never &C
cuscd of incompetency or his OIL .lal acts
Investigated by committee of Congress,
though his political opponents controlled
that Congress by large majority. These
are some Of the things that cannot be
charged against Mr.. Rounds.
When Mr.. Benedict has finished his
career as public printer and has been
awarded that meed Of praise which was
universally accorded his predecessor, he
may with some show Of justice claim the
privilege OF drawing a comparison between
the two administrations, but to the casual
observer II looks very much as though
he will have about as much as he can
attend to In rescuing himself from the
disgrace into which he has actually fallen
with his party friends. He may hope for
beneficial results to follow the free appli-
cation OF whltewash which appears 20 be
aw9itDg him, but even taht win not save
him from the verdict Of condemnat ion
which will be awarded him by those Who
know HE true merits and Character.
