cities would go to destruction but for
their continuous recuperation by the
coming of young men and women from
the farms. The hope of the United
States, therefore, is in the farming pop

that the organization of agricultural
education is more difficult than the or
ganization of engineering education and
the mechanic arts. But progress has
been made in the past, and think the
time is now ripe for a new departure.
The farmer stands nearer than any 9TH
er man to natures source of supply.
His business can not be syndicated; the
individual must always play the most
prominent part in it. i suppose that is
one reason why the proper provision
for the education of young men and

DEATH OF Ex.spEAKER REED.

I
While in Washington last Monday
to business before the SUI
creme court x-Speaker Thomas q.
Reed was stricken with illness that ter
minated fatally Saturday night. Thus
q figure, Of national prominence passed
from life Mr.. Reed was one of the
many distinguished public men Maine
has produced. and. after Blaine, the
most prominent of her sons of recent
years. His title to fame rests chiefly
upon his great work in the speakers
chair, in which he blazed out new
course to expedite business and to
thwart filibusters, a course for which
he was bitterly denounced by political
opponents. who afterwards came to his
standard and adopted his rules without
change when the opportunity de-
manded.
Mr. Reed who was of robust frame
and brilliant mind. was gifted with the
bator of stating his case or the issue
with such ability, clearness and sue
cinctness as to carry conviction to his
hearers.
According to biographer he illus
trated In his life two singularly con-
flicting tendencies, which might be
called elements of greatness and weak
ness. They show more than anything
else could two masterful but opposing
inclinations. In his youthful career he
yielded to an incident desire to read
cheap novels. which largely absorbed
his time. Shaking this off he changed
his course, Joined church, and his
ambition was so stirred to become an
active and useful member Of society
that he landed at the portals of a coll
lege; entering which he lapsed again
studies and becoming an indifferent
student until near the close of his coll
lege career, when he again awakened
to ambitions call to accomplish some-
thing in life and forged ahead again to
a high standing. These traits, and the
mastery of the less noble one, show in
q conspicuously instructive way how
man is really the architect of his own
fortune.
Perhaps this dual tendency Of mind
and heart is revealed in the closing
days of his public career. He was OPP
posed to a war with Spain and sought
to avert it, but when 1t came as an in
evitable sequence of events there was
no more loyal supporter of the admin
istration than Mr.. Reed. He was later
on out of touch with the administered
on the question of expansion, and vol
unfairly left public life for more con-
genial private pursuits.
Mr.. Reed was ambitious to be presi-
dent when Mckinley was forging to the
front for that position, and disappoint-
ment may also have influenced him to
leave public life. Despite this his ca
reer was such as to entitle him to a
place in the hall of Ameri-
can fame.

have been admitted into every other
channel, the political gateway must in
evitably be opened?"
1t would be easier to open the politi-
cal gateway to woman than to drive her
into it. She is not naturally politician;
her sexhood is against it; her mind
runs in a different channel; her most
frequent characterization of the sub
ject is 81 hate politics" What shall we
do in this case? Reform the sex? How
can it be done?

woMAN,s PROGRESS IN FyFTY YEARS.

The wonderful success which in the
past fifty years has been achieved by
those who have been seeking to i'm
prove the status Of women in the COM
munity, is impressiyely shown by Miss
Susan B. Anthony in an article entitled
"Woman's Half-Century of Evolution
written to commemorate the services of
the late Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
the pioneer in the movement, and pub
lished On the December number of the
North American Review. Miss Anthony
recalls the hostility and ridieule with
which the pulpit the press, and the
general public treated the first woman's
rights convention-an occasion such as
would be veritable commonplace to-
day. She recites some of the provisions
of the English common law which de-
termined the legal position and rela-
lions of women when that convention
was held, and, by contrast with the
principles everywhere recognized at the
present moment, they read like provis-
ions of barbaric and prehistoric age.
The story told by Miss Anthony is the
itself in almost every detail except the
universal realization of woman suf-
rage. She thus summarizes the general
result of the movement, and the ground
of her belief that woman will eventual
ly enjoy the privilege of the franchise:
"The effect upon women themselves
of these enlarged opportunities in every
direction has been a development which
is almost regeneration. The capability
they have shown in the realm of higher
education, their achievements in the
business world. their capacity for or
ganization, their executive power, have
been a retelation.i To set women back
into the limited sphere of fifty years
the whole race. Their evolution has
been accomplished by corresponding
DEVELOPMENT in the moral nature of
man, his ideas of temperance and chas-
tity, his sense of justice, his relations to
society. In no department of the worlds
activities are the higher qualities so
painfully lacking as in politics, and this
is the only one from which women are
wholly excluded. Is it not perfectly
logical to assume that their influence
would be as beneficial here as 1T has
been everywhere else? Does not logic
also justify the opinion that, as they

How to Prevent Group.

1t will be good news to the mothers
Of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign of
Group Is hoarseness. A day or two be-
fore the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by Pc
culiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as
the child becomes hoarse, or even after
the rough cough appears, and it will
dispel all symptoms Of Group. In this
way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by many
thousands of mothers and has never
been known to fail. It is, in fact, the
only remedy that can always be de-
pended upon and that is pleasant an
safe to take. For sale by all druggists.

Chicago advices state that transpor-

less congestion and the freight move
ment is better Supply of coke for local
consumption shows moderate increase,
and the forwarding of general mer-
chandise and heavy materials is less

heard as to delayed deliveries. Steel
mills and lumber yards are well sup
piled for winters operations, and the
grain elevators are gradually filing up
to limit of capacity. Manufacturers
and all leading industries are rushed
with the work on hand. Receipts of
produce are gaining and prices for
foodstuffs declined. In Christmas goods
the buying already augurs well for the
next few weeks. Mail order houses are
rushed with business and some deliv-
cries are unavoidably slow, owing to
the difficulty in getting supplies from

past week.
Boston reports that the month opened
with more satisfactory conditions re-
ported in retail circles. The volume of
business has enlarged with better
weather, and sales of dry goods, cloth
ing, footwear, millinery, ETC., have been
satisfactory. Holiday trade is active in
staple and fancy goods. In wholesale
branches business has Quoted down to
some extent, as usual in the closing
month of the year. Still, there is fair
movement of merchandise by dry goods
jobbers and some improvement to note
in wholesale clothing trade. Shoe man
ufacturers have booked more orders for
spring delivery and the volume now in
hand is sufficient to ensure full run
of machinery well into the new year.
Trade is good in the south, seasonal

feet.
The Minneapolis mills produced for
the week 379,755 barrels of flour. Prices
remain unchanged, trade is dull and the
mills made very much more than they
sold.

Trade on the Pacific coast continues

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Traer Star Clipper believes that
the democratic party's only hope lies
in a new issue or the possibility of re-
publican plumbers in legislation. But,
next congress will be reckless in legis-
alton. The people will find that the
republicans are the true conservatives
md have the welfare of the whole
country in mind and that they will am
ply justify the confidence reposed in
Them
The Rockford Register suggests that
with the people feeling as they do
about the trust problem, and with Nor
gan gobbling UP the big transatlantic
steamship lines, it is folly to again in
troduce the ship subsidy BILL
In noticing that the Marion Register
thinks that there is but one of two
things for tariff revision republican to
do-drop his belief or join the demo-
cratic party, the Hardin County Citizen
exclaims: "Oh, well, how serious! An
Injunction to that effect issued against
the moon would be just as effective"
The OdeboIt Chronicle thinks iowa
republicans will some day get tired of
being buncoed by their representatives
in congress and turn the entire gang
out to grass. 1t goes against the grain
to send men to Washington who profess
to be in harmony with the sentiment of
the state and then have them turn tail
and run when the whips of the eastern
magnates crack"
The Sac Sun is impressed with the
showing that every republican candi-
date for congress in Iowa ran behind
the state ticket in his district, more or
less and concludes that Possibly the
impression M ght be gained from per-
usal of these figures that the people of
iowa are heartily in accord with the
views of the state administration, and
that impression would not be errone-
