THE BEEF TRUST AND PRICES.

The daily press contains frequent
news dispatches from various parts of
the world to the effect that the beef
trust" is pushing it's advantage as a
monopoly to raise the price of meats.
The most recent report is of the alarm
felt In England over such q rise. Be-
fore the beef trust" is lampooned for
its highway robbery some thought
should be given to the price the Iowa
farmer has been receiving for his beef

Inand for meats due to the prosperity
enjoyed by millions of families all over

MORE PAY FOR DISTRICT JUDGES.

Representative Frank Cummings of
Marshall county has seen another inn
portant measure of his authorship pass
both branches of the legislature and go
to the governor for his permission to
become law. The senate today passed
the house bill to raise the pay of dis
trict judges from the present $500
salary to $4,000 per year. This bill has
met with the same general favor that
was accorded Mr.. Cummings bill reor-
ganizing the supreme court and IN
creasing the salaries of supreme judges.
Both tend to elevate the judiciary of
the state by making the positions of
sufficient salary value to attract high
order of legal talent. AS lending law
yers' incomes average now days, and
as the cost of living for the family of
man occupying district judges posi-
ton has increased, the salary of $4,000
per year has grown very small indeed.
The general public is interested in the
maintenance Oh d very nigh SiauS JUL
ciary and this law will be a great aid in
satisfying this demand. 1t is true that
some poor judges will be elected in
spite of the increased salary, but the
new GALAXY will tend more and more to
induce the strongest legal talent to seek
the office of district judge. Mr.. Cum
mings will return from his first term in
the state legislature with two impor-
tant measures to his credit. He not
only conceived good ideas in both cases
but exercised no little ability in accom-
plishing the passage of both of them
thru two branches of Legislature beset
with thousand other bills.

100000 is ENOUGH.

The house and senate are $4,000
apart on the appropriation for the St.
Louis fair. The house bill carried
$50, 900 with 1t and the bill passed to-
day by the senate s125,00D. Either is
higher than necessary. Iowa should go
to this fair with display of her educa-
tional, transportation and manufacture
ing facilities and RESOURCES. The fuel
production OF the state should be ex-
plotted as we'll, and less attention paid
to the agricultural and stock raising
features. In the mind of the foreigner
who knows Ioaw at all, II is a land
flowing with milk and honey. covered
with corn, resonant with stluealing hogs
and lowing kline. The agricultural re-
sources of the state have been SO thor
oughly exploited and advertised as to
kill it's excellence as a location for
manufactures. The proposed display
should emphasize the fact that Iowa is
not entirely a barnyard or cornfield.
but state rich in its educational in
stitutions, lridironed with railways,
great in infant manufactures and UNI
derlaid with the fuel necessary to fac
tory operation. Iowa's corn and live
stock need no further advertising. Her
weaker industries do, antl 1t would be
we'll to show the world her wealth OF
intellect and education lest 1t be tempt
ed to accept the careless dictum of
recent writer who found the state an
intellectual dead level All this may
be done and be done well with 100000.
There is no call for an elaborate build
ing, no necessity for lavish expenditure
in any direction. The state should look
upon the st. Louis fair as q business
proposition, not a street parade. Spend
sufficient money to make the showing
needed. Advertise judiciously with
100000 and the people of the state will
be better pleased than with any lavish
expenditure of the public funds.

4 NOTABLE OCCASION.

IF Theodore Roosevelt lacked the en-
tire affection of the southern people ne
rertainly took the short way to their
hearts in his eloquent address at the
charleston exposition. The address was
characteristic Of the man. He recog-
nized the stendfast resolution, unfiinch-
ing courage and high devotion to
principle of the south during the
civil war and reminded his hear
ers that the memories of the he
roic struggle are the priceless her
itape of north and south alike. He
told the south how the north glories in
the valor of federal and confederate
alike as the valor of common coun-
try and spoke. of his own good fortune
to serve in federal army of invasion
under an ex-confederate general. He
recognized emphatically the fealty OF
the southern people to the flag and that
their memories of the great sectional
conflict are not the remembrance of re-
bellion, but the aftermath of the glori-
Gus deeds, the bravery and self-sacrifice
Of the fathers of the south. He empha-
ssized the reunion Of the sections by
citing General Wright, an ex-confeder-
ate, as "the exponent of this govern
ment and this people in that group of
islands in the eastern seas over which
the American flag floats"
This eminent1y characteristic speech
of man who has proven his bravery
,afield to a people among whom cour-
age is religion can not fail to make
friends for the speaker and for the Sec
ton he represents as well.
President Roosevelt's speech and the
manner in which 1t was received speak
highly for the people of the United
States. That a chief executive, repre-
sentative Of the conquerors, and the
mass of the vanquished people should
meet, to count the achievements of the
soldiers Of each section, each with an
equal pride in each, is new in the his
tory of rebellions or wars. The mem
