In very short time there will be lively
scramble among the representatives OF the
various school book companies for busi-
ness in Iowa. Five years ago, when the
law was new under which county or dis
trict uniformity may be adopted, thirty
three of the counties OF Iowa took up the
county uniformity idea. Under this law
the contracts were made for a period OF
FIVE years. This period Is now nearly
ended and the result Is that In all these
thirty-three counties new contracts will be
made and the county boards will again
have under consideration the adoption OF
new series OF books. 1t opens the field for
lively work among the publishers. The
startling fact is reported in this connec.
tion that the school book business Of the
state of Iowa does not amount to over
$4,000 a year and is not as large as the
cigarette trade has been.

asks fo- the division of the Davenport

part Of the Sioux City members Of the

church here have been assured that when

the dioceses in Iowa, as they are Of nearly
equal church population, and when Sioux

ceived for a division Of the northern do
cese is untrue as Archbishop Keane de-

' cation from Rome on the subject and the
matter Is right where II was when Arch
bishop Hennessey died. However, It will
be considered at the meeting OF the suf-

rbe NEW Federal Bui1dinr.

No one questions the right Of the
property owners interested to attempt
to have the measupe which passed the
senate, providing for a new federal
building, amended, but arc they doing
that which aims to benefit the commun-
ity as a whole?
Senator Scott has said that the treas
ury department is responsible for that
part of the bill providing for a new
location. and that this department will
insist that such a costly edifce be not
built on ground subject to inundatlon.
Some OF the opponents of the bill say
that all thar is desired is that the mat
ter Of location be left open. The loca-
ton of sites for public buildings is left
entirely to treasury officials. and they
are said to be opposed to the site Of
present building.
1t has been pointed out that Il the
present bill is amended 1t will jeopar-
die the whole scheme. The bin would
have to so back to the senate for re-
consideration. and the delay that would
occur would certainly endanger Its re.
passage for some time to come. we
trust some amlcable solution or the dlf-
ferences that now exist may be found
without prejudice to the proposition Of
a new building. which unquestiouabiy
Is badly needed.

this greeting of West Virginia Repub-

ingly to William Burdette Matthews,
who transmitted the resolutions as the
presiding officer of the convention. In
his letter, he sounds note Of warning
that Republicans In this state will do
well to heed. Ho says;
II do want to earnestly appeal to you
and to the Republicans Of West Vir-
ginla In The name Of humanity and
freedom never to permit tho Demo-
cratic party to get contoi Of your state
unless you want to surrender all that
Is dear to an American freeman. AS
certain as write this Letter. to you to-
day. If you ever permit yourselves to
be ousted from power 1t win be many
years before you can regain your civil
liberties. The awful crime started In
the south to overcome the effects of
the negro vote has grown into such en-
ormlties that 1t is now spreading over
the bordering states, and they are very
anxious to get West Virginia into their
grip. I hope this calamity may be
averted."

Passing Of silveriam.

with the signing of the gold standard
measure by the President last week the
silver question appears to be settled, at
least that is the conclusion most DEM
ocratlc papegs have arrived at. With
the passing Of sllverlsm there is great
deal of history connected with It that
is quite interesting, The St. Louis
Globe Democrat. in a reminiscent man
ner, says that ION November 8, 1877, In
the first OF Presiden. Hayes two extra
sessions of Congress, Richard P. Bland
moved in the house Of representatives
to suspend the rules and pass bill
directing the coinage of silver dollars
OF the weight OF 1924 grains OF stand
ard silver as provided by the act Of
January IS 1887, the coins to be legal
tender at their nominal value for all
debts and dues, public and private, ex-
cept where otherwise provided by con-
tract" and STIMULATING that any owner
OF silver bullion might deposit the same
at any OF She mlnts of the United States,
10 be coined into such dollars for his
beneft, upon the same terms as gold
bullion. with this motion Mr.. Bland
became a national character, and the
silver issue entered American politics.
The entire monetary issue in the
twenty-five and u third years which
have passed since that day, except that
aspect Of 1t which has related to the
greenback legislation OF 1928, has
been dependent on that proposition Of
Mr.. Bland. The Bland motion was
agreed to by vote OF 1854 ga Repub-
llcans and o. Democrats) to "a ga Re-
publicans and 10 DrmocrhtS). When Mr..
Allison reported the bill to the Senate,
however, II was changed from the FREQ
coinage form to a limNed coinage bill,
and provided that not less than $780,
900 nor more than 100000 Of silver
bullion should be purchased by the gov
eminent and coined into dollars each
month, Of the weight prescribed BY M

This measure provided for the pur-

issue in payment for It Of treasury
notes, which were to be a legal tender
