But our people. the sons OF the men
of the civil war, the sons of the men
who had iron in their blood, rejoice
in the present and face the future high
Of heart and rosoluto of will. Ours
is not the creed of the weakling and
the coward ours is the gospel OF hope
and triumphant endeavor. We do not
shrink from the struggle before us.
There are many problems for us to
face at the outset of the twentieth
century-grave problems abroad and
still graver at home-but we know
that we can solve them we'll, provided
only that we bring to the solution
the qualities of head and heart which
were shown by the men who in the
days Of Washington founded the
government and in the days of Lincoln
preserved it.-President Roosevelt.

The final report on the yield and
value at current prices of the Iowa
crop of 1902 was made public by the
director of the crop service, ]. r.
Sage, having been held back two
weeks in order to check the returns on
which it is based. The report in
dicates that the rains of the past sea-
son were more disastrous than the
drought of 1901. The total value OF
the crop is placed at S215, 722, 339, OF
$50, 900, 600 less than the value of the
crop of 1901. The greatest falling OFF
is in corn. The yield this year was
1896, $50, $50 bushels, valued at $S3, 900,
600, against 227, 600, 600 bushels, valued
at 118, 900, 900 last year-an increase in
yield this year of 10000, 900 bushels
and decrease in value of $35. 900, 600.
Last year the corn crop was all mar
ketable, but this year only 1877, 900, ,00(
bushels, or AZ per cent. is marketable.
The soft corn, in making up the
figures for this year, is given its esti-
mated feeding value. The next heavi.
est decrease is in the value of the oat
crop, the valuations being $40, 200, O0(
in 1901 and $22, 297, 900 in 1902. The
value of the wheat crop fell off So,
919, 100, of barley $l,S7l, 800, and Of
hay $1,925, 1916.

Major w. H. Fleming, who for
nineteen years held the position of
private secretary to the governor of
Iowa, has gone to Washington. where
he has been called by the tender of a
position in the treasury department
of the United States. The appoint
ment of Major Fleming was made by
Secretary Shaw. In leaving the state,
Major Fleming carries with him the
largest repository of historical infor-
nation concerning the state possessed
by any living man. His knowledge
of affairs covers nearly half century
and, though he is go years of age, his
memory is remarkably clear and accu-
rate. He learned the printers trade
when boy at the age of IA and for a
time published a paper at lie Claire,
in this state. He was city editor of
the Davenport Gazette for year. He
served as clerk in the Office of the ad-
jutant general and was made deputy
secretary of state under Gen. Ed
Wright in 1867. He was appointed
private secretary by Governor Merrill
and held that Office under Governors
Merrill, Carpenter, Newbold and Gear,
until January, 1882. Later he was
private secretary under Governors
Drake and Shaw. 1t deserves to be
said of him that in all the long term
of his service as private secretary, he
never solicited the position.

The report Of Lionel Garden, British
minister at Havana, shows conclu-
sively that sugar can be produced in
Cuba more cheaply than anywhere else
in the world, and that Cuban planters
, can get rich on any prices for sugar
which enable other growers to live.
If this is the case, the question arises
whether and how much we need to

John H. Dalton, the Chicago saloon
keeper, who organized the Independent
Advertising Agency to exploit the In

convicted of swindling by the U. s.
courts. Dalton had his plans laid to
scoop in half million dollars, and as
it was he made large money before
he was found out. 5000 publishers in
this country and 1000 in Europe ran
his advertising and never got dollar

The recent annual report of the
Secretary of the Interior makes
pointed reference to bill now
pending before congress providing
for leasing the remaining six hundred
million acres of public land for graz
ing purposes, condemning the mea-
sure as one calculated to work much
injury to the nation. The question of
the disposition of the remaining pub
lie lands is one which has an interest
for every citizen both East and West
The bulk Of our beef and mutton sup
ply comes from this section, and as
the free range is becoming more and
more overcrowded, and the grasses
trampled out and eaten mp by the
roots, the greatest discussion is given
to the necessity for some regulation of
this vast acreage of government lands,
by leasing or otherwise, which will
enable stock growers to improve it and
prevent overgrazing. 1t is estimated
by agricultural experts that were the
range properly controlled it would
support at least one-half more stock
than it does at present, which would
mean, of course, cheaper beef. In
considering this problem, however,
another question of prime Importance
arises, and this question Secretary
Hitchcock discusses in his report.
No leasing law shcnld ever be enact
ed which will interfere with the de-
velopement of the country through
actual settling and homemaking and
irrigation. The leasing bill referred
to would step all settlement by home
steaders and would practically turn
the western States over to immense
live stock interests. The Secretary
does we'll to direct attention to the
dangerous provisions of the bill still
there is little danger Of its passage,
since statesmen realize that the re-
naming public lands are the heritage
of the people, and must be reserved
for actual settlement. Nor would
such a measure get pas. the Presi-
dents keen scrutiny.

The Des Moines Capital of Friday
says: "It is persistently rumored at
the state honse that J. F. Wall, of
Mt. Ayr, is scheduled to succeed Bert
7. Gunderson, of Ossian. as clerk in
the Office of the auuitor of state. Mr..
Wall is auditor of Ringgold county
and is said to stand high in the favor
of Auditor elect Carroll All of the
other appointments in the state audi
tors Office have been decided upon
except that of the clerkship which Mr..
Gunderson now holds. Nothing is
known about this appointment except
that Mr.. Gunderson is scheduled to
go. At the time of Mr.. Carroll's S
nomination Mr.. Wall was understood
to have aspired in the direction of the
state authorship himself. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that finding his fol-
lowing too weak to bring the nomina-
ton he threw his strength in favor
of Mr.. Carroll and was thus instru-
mental in his securing the nomina-
tion. The people of this county
will very much regret to see Mr..
Gunderson lose his position. He is
an honest, capable and industrious
young man, and has done credit to
the position. But in the game of
politics there are always political
debts to pay.

CO1rlERCiAL CLUB.

The Commercial Club met at the
Court House Monday night In one
of the most enthusiastic aud har-
monious meetings OF its history.
The regular routine of business
was disposed Of and the road ques-
ton was discussed with the result
that the Club has decided to take
up the matter OF rocking the
road known as the Whitcside road,
and the Road Committee was in
structed to commence at once to
raise the money. This is n move
that will benefit all alike, and the
man who will stand out on move-
ment OF this kind merely stands In
his own light. A good road means
to the farmer the benefit OF the
market at all times, and not only
that, but IL means saving In the
wear and tear Of his vehicles and
harness OF from $1,000 To SlOO.OO
per year.
The balance is not on the side
OF the bcsiness men alone, al
though 1t will benefit him greatly
but it il benefit that will be wide
spread. 1t Is n fact worthy OF note
that as soon as the good road
movement was launched in lndi-
ana, Ohio and Illinois, that the
price of land went up, and tha'
the general business conditions
were healthier than before, anc
not only did the good results CONF
but they are still in evidence, an'
it is worthy OF note that land II

lacking. The best men Of thi
place are back of this movement
and il is sure to succeed. Tn

b EAUTyFUL SPRING. TINE.
CONTRIBUTED.

tON Nlhibt led.
Beautiful bird of spring has
come,
Seeking a place to build his home.
We enter the spring time of 1902.
May we not hope that II will be a
year of blessings especially to
those who 90 forth to till the earth
that food may be had for the tcum-
ing millions. Az we stand ON the
threshold ofthis new spring may
we keep in mind that great wise
God is ruling and that as we are
permitted to turn the leaves Of this
new volume that our resolutions to
live Alright will he earnest. 1901
was one of gloom and trials to
many but Il has gone with all its
discouragcmcnts and now at this
opening of the new spring time
may the voice of praise be heard
In all the land to the Giver of cv-
cry good and perfect gift. We
would do well to go forth to SOW
seeds In faith believing that God
will send the early and latter rains.
There are sunb.ams all around US,
thcn let us go forward ANA open
our furrow When We have cast
the seeds into the furrow We shall
see how beautifully God sends the
sunlight and rain to produce the
golden grain.
Tcamstcrs should speak kindly
words to- their faithful teams.
Half mile distant from our home,
we heard n sentence addressed To
pair of dumb beasts that was
shocking indeed ns II rent the air
and found way to our ear half mile
or more away, we thought what
folly, how unthoughtful. Vain
man stop and consider, God can
hear you but In great mercy to you
will not grant what you requested
Him to do with your team. Yet II
you pursue your present course He
may let II fall ON you.
AS the beauties of Spring ARE un-
folded let us remember that no
power less than that which IL Di-
vim could have brought II to pass,
and as We commit the tiny seeds
to the earth may we In patience
wait till God gives the increase.
