Successful cooperation in Kansas, u

What the Outlook finds to write this
about. 1t says:
Apparently the farmers of the west

the "individualism' Of their training
ere to be the pioneers of cooperation in
this country. AT all events nearly all
the important successes in cooperation
in recent years have been made among
them. To cooperative fire insurance
companies and cooperative creameries,
which have now for many years been SO
remarkably profitable over widening
districts, must be added cooperative
elevators in steadily increasing number.
A recent letter to the Omaha Bee from
Solomon. kas., brings out forcibly the
success achieved by one of these CO.
operative elevators-a success somewhat
exceptional, 1t is true, because this ele-
vator is in district traversed by three
railroads. not yet consolidated. For two
years the syndicate which controls most
of the elevators in central Kansas had
kept the price of wheat at Solomon II
cents below that at Kansas City, tho or
accounted for difference of only 10
cents-and even this difference exceeded
by one-half that between Chicago and
New York, where water competition
helps to regulate railroad rates. At the
last session of the legislature the farm
ers endeavored to secure relief by stat
ute against the elevator trust, and when
their bill failed the farmers about Solo

citation, put competent men in charge

selling their wheat to other elevators II
they paid ! cent a bushel to the asso-
citation. This last regulation proved bet
ter than requirement that the mem
bers bring all their wheat to the assoc
cation, no matter what they were Of
fered elsewhere. This Is how it worked:
From the time the farmers elevator
opened it received 80 per cent of the
wheat marketed In Solomon, while the
three syndicate elevators received less
than 10 per cent. On July Is the farm
ers' elevator was paying So cents a
bushel for wheat, 4 cents higher than
the syndicate. The day following, one
of the syndicates opened the fight on
the farmers elevator by offering So
cents busiel. This was Immediately
reported to the manager of the farmers
elevator. but instead of trying to meet
the price. rs fast as the wheat came in

When he got his money the farmer re-
turned to the farmers elevator and

Grinnell, Dec. 9.-Lorado Taft, who
lectures at the Congregational church
tomorrow night, is we'll worth hearing.
This is the concurrence of opinion
among those who have heard him, Mr..
Taft earned his reputation as sculptor
at the worlds fair and is probably the
most talented artist in America in his
chosen line of work. This is the first
number of the lecture course secured
by the college. The later numbers Will
probably be given at the new Colonial.
1t is reported that thus far the financial
success of the course is not assured. The
lecture course this year merits general
support if any such course can. dorado
Taft, DR.. Van Dyke and Jacob Riis do
not come to Grinnell every year. Mrs
Bertha Kunz Baker has been heard by
Grinnellites and has been secured on
their recommendation. She is said to
have no superior as an interpretative
reader and is very highly spoken of by
DR.. Albert Shaw The Slayton Grand
Concert Company needs no word of
commentator, as several of the COM
pany have been heard before In Grin
nell and it is because they were greeted
with approval that they have been Sc
cured again. 1t has been commented
upon that the course this year Is made
up of men who are characterstically
workers and not posers; men who have
contributed as much to the world in
their respective lines as any. This COM
ment Is correct Characterization of the
course. And it is for this reason that
the course merits the united support OF
all who are able to attend It.

school house is the first need or the

and $4,000 public library can not be
content much longer with a shabby
wooden high school building. One thing
at time, of course But it's good
thing to keep the ball roofing. The
school district is now under an SIS, 600
bonded indebtedness, $4,000 of which
was bonded when the Cooper school was
built. The balance of the total was the
remnant of the cost of the Parker
school. When new school house Is
built $4,000, or perhaps $4,000 will
have to be expended. Eighteen thousand
dollars is not a large debt fer Grinnell
1t should not be long until the new
school house can be reality.

when the legislature is not in session
he may suspend and appoint arbitrar-

In view of the plain facts 1t is diff
cult to discover any reasonable foun-
dation for the assertion on the part OF
the Republican that the legislature
stripped the governorship of the
moiety of it's powers" in creating the
board of control.
In the course OF this editorial the
Republican says:
When Larrabee and Gear were gov
ernor the office amounted to something,
and they showed what business adj
ministrations could do
A specific statement diagraming the
contraction of executive power since
the days of Gear and Larrabee will be
a very interesting contribution to cur
rent information. Gear and Larrabee
in the executive Office as part of the
great board of control system would
have better opportunity to develop adj
mirable administration than existed ir,
the seventies and eighties. AS the Re-
publican well says they We're well
trained in state affairs" They were
plain business men wholly possessed
of the ambition to do for Iowa and its
people everything within range of ex-
ecutive power and executive POSSIBLE
ity. They We're men who do things,
who shape the real business of the
state. A Gear or a Larrabee may cut
more ofua figure now than they could
have fifteen or twenty years ago. The
legislature thru the board of control
nor otherwise has not deprived an Iowa
governor of the opportunity to make
a record Of effectiveness and useful
ness within legitimate executive linn

CITY WINS SIDEWALK SUIT.

Jefferson Bee
A decision was received this week
from Judge FIlwood, determining the
case of J. II. Gallagher against the city
of Jefferson, In favor of the defendant.
Mr.. Gallagher, the plaintiff, is given
twenty days in which to file a bond for
an appeal to the supreme court. This
was a very hs.rd-fought case, the ques-
ton at issue being as to whether the
city had the right to excavate the north
side of the Gallagher domain to bring
the sidewalk clown to grade, when by so
doing the trees skirting the lots would
in all probability be killed. The decis-
ion holds they have this right and that
their action preliminary to ordering this
work done was legal and in proper form.
