At st. Louis the extreme severe and
record breaking weather has had the eff
feet of retarding trade somewhat in
bot1, retail and jobbing lines during the
last week. While the weather has brok-
en- all of the December records for at
least quarter OF a century, the adj
vance holiday trade was so heavy that
merchants report the trade for the sea-
son as above the average. Railroad
traffic is seriously delayed. and jobbers
have been given a little breathing spell,
tho orders for early shipment after the
holidays have kept the packing depart
ments reasonably busy.
Portland, Ore, reports that holiday
trade is very activ,, and of satisfactory
character Grain exports are also un-
usually large, and there is heavy
movement from the Interior to sea-
board. Shipments by rail to the east are
a notable feature OF the grain situation,
about 100000 bushels taking that route
from the Columbia Valley, two thirds
being brewing barley.

A COMMISSION ASSESSMENT.

AS the time for the Inauguration Of
Governor Cummins draws near discus
sion as to his policies becomes rife. The
latest turn in the discussion has been
the announcement in a Des Moines
newspaper that the governor was going
to propose commission to investigate
railway values thoroughly and present
its findings to the executive council for
use in making the next assessment.
1t is not known whether Mr.. Cummins
has in mind any such plan or not, but
the suggestion is worth considering. The
argument Is advanced that all of the
railway reports are seldom in before
time left for the council to investigate
the showings and make their assessment
before the close OF the month, hence as
sessaments heretofore have been at best
mere guess work. The plan ascribed to
Mr.. Cummins is to defer the assessment.
date till August and turn over all re-
ports to commission in March with
power granted the commission to exam
Inc witnesses under oath and make an
exhaustive investigation into the values
of railway properties.
The idea is good one There has al
ways been entirely too much guess work
about this assessment business and too
little time for investigation. 1t makes
very little difference whether the assess
naent is made in March or August, just
SO ample time is given the executive
council to arrive at the facts. The plan
Of commission to do the work is good
che provided the commission itself Is
good one, and in view Of the will OF the
voters expressed by their delegates in
the conventions Of 1900 at Des Moines
and 1901 at Cedar Rapids the people OF
Iowa have already selected for this COM
mission the following three men: Treas
urer Of State Gilbertson, Secretary OF
state Martin and Governor Cummins.
The mandate was given in these con-
yentions and the delegate contests that
preceded them that these three men had
teen selected for this very work
and it would hard to find a commits
sion that would be satisfactory when
composed Of any other set of men;
altho Cummins could hardly find among
his friends men who are not disposed to
give the public fair treatment in the
matter of assessing railroad property.

STRENUOUS LIFE: IN WASHINGTON.

Events have been moving rapidly in
Washington for the past few days, and
the history maker has kept several
stencgraphers busy. Some of the de-
movements of the Srhley court of inquiry
have been as startling as they have been
severe. The approval OF the majority
opinion of the court by Secretary of the
Navy Long, however, was expected. The
two sensational events We're the severe
reprimand Of Gen. Nelson A. Miles for
indiscreet comments at Cincinnati, and
the discharge of Historian Stanton Ma
clay from the government service for
denouncing Admiral Schley as a coward
in his historical work. President Roose-
welt was the chief actor in this exciting
drama, and it would seem that he ia de-
termined to have an end of the contro-
versy by Furnishing the partisans on
each side of the unfortunate contention.
The severest reprmand was admins
tered to Gen. Miles. The president acted
clearly within his sphere az commander
in-chief of the army and navy. and cited
authority in support of his position; and
yet the friends of ldiles viii. regard the
portion to the offense he committed, es-
pecially since Miles disclaimed any
wrong intent. Gen Miles made a bril-
liant record as a soldier and patriot in
the civil war and III the Indian service,
tho as the head of the army in the Span
ish war he was little more than a figure
head. Had he been like many another
officer he would have been nearer the
scene of action direc ting the movements
OF forces. However, that is Of the past.
and the official scoring he received ought
to have beneficial effect upon all army
and navy men in active harness.
As to Historian Maclay, very few will
express sympathy in his case. He in
vited disaster in his unfair attempt to
.distort history and must accept the PEN
atty.
The schley controversy ought to end
now. so far as government officials are
concerned. There is need of patriot
like Glen. Grant with his olive branch of
Let US have peace.
If any one has hid any doubt about
who is the president of the United
States and the COMMUNICATIVE of
the army and nav, he has no further
reason to cherish 1t. since Theodore
Roosevelt has clearly demonstrated that
he is at the head oil the table.

NOR A SPARROW SHALL FALL.


The recent cold weather has been as
as severe on the little English sparrows
as on other living things. They lead
q very strenuous life in search of food,
as they are scayengers that scour the
streets diligently for waste materials
Yet they are as cheerful as If In the
midst of the most bountiful surround
ings. They are willing. apparently, to
adapt themselves to all circumstances.
A Marshalltown citizen reports that
when he opens his hen house in the
mornings of the cold days the SPAR
rows fly out by hundreds. They man
age to find way in thru a small open
ing. The Ackley World gives another
view of their wisdom or keen instinct:
1.-The little sparrows that fit about
show that they have a preceptiveness-
or something of the sort of the COM
Portable. These cold mornings they
may be seen clustered upon the iron
covering of the heating service that
extends along main street, conducted
thru pipes. The iron is free of ice and
snow, and the sparrows chirp' in ap-
parent glee as they absorb the heat
that issues from the conduit"
The English sparrow is generally re-
garded as nuisance. 1t makes a
great deal of dirt around the home
where it roosts. For this reason many
people have no mercy on the birds and
try to exterminate them. A new use
for them is suggested by this item from
the Spirit Lake Beacon, which says:
Roy Robin did a smashing bust
ness catching English sparrows one
morning last week. The sparrows go
into the loft in the large barn on the
Robin farm in the evening. and Roy
closed the channels of escape and gath
cred them in with dip net. He bagged
1856, for which local sports paid three
cents apiece. 1t Is becoming common
W >A.'S SPsAiAONo wi SAdP oAOOSAhe
place Of pigeons"
The question of exterminating them
or of permitting them to live, furnishes
a topic for debate which humane soci-
cites might improve. Is 1t right to kill
them? The defenders of the birds could
fortify themselves with scripture. Isn't
it stated in holy writ that not SPAR
row shall fall without the Fathers no.
tice? No such plea is made for the
jay or robin! The problem is turned
over to the humane society. Is it wick
ed to kill the English sparrow merely
for the purpose of getting it out of the
way? In any answer or defense 1t
ought to ge shown that the bird is USE
full enough to warrant its detention.
