Only Money Cheap in Iowa.

Mr.. and Mrs. Lafayette Young. OF
Des Moines. Iowa. are at the Arlington.
Mr.. Young is editor of the "Des Moines
Capital" He will be here until Sat
urday.
THE only thing cheap in the West
is money he remarked, last night.
The banks have more money than they
can loan. The farmers are getting rich
and are perfectly contended, for they
are receiving better prices for crops
than ever before. Within the past
eighteen months the value of farm lands
In the Northwest has doubled, and very
few desirable farms are to be had a.
any price. But the prosperity is net
confined alone to the farmers-it is gen
eral. and applies to all branches of in
dustry."
Commenting on politics. Mr.. Young
said there was no political excitement In
Iowa. as only minor Offices would he
voted for this year. and there were no
contests to speak of for the nominations
Iowa, he said, would return solid Re
publican delegation to the next House.
President Roosevelt, Mr.. Young said, IS
very popular in the West. and in his
opinion there would be no question OF
the Presidents nomination. Iowa. he
declares, will be solid for him.

Mr.. Quay's Persuasive Speech.

The tariff speech to which Mr.. Quay
referred yesterday, when he suggested
that he would read it in the Senate in
reprisal for tactics to prevent his call
ing up the statehood BILL was used by
him to great effect during the debate on
the Wilson German tariff act
1t is probably the most voluminous
article on the iron industry ever writ
ten, beginning with Tubal Cain and
running down lowell Mr.. Quay never
finished reading it. 1t is typewritten in
thin folio sheets and nearly two feet
thick

trying to bring the debate to a close
Mr.. Quay upon being refused an advance
OF duty on some portions Of the iron
or steel schedule, in which Pennsyl-
vania was particularly interested, would
bring out his long speech and proceed to
read it.
The first time he read in an almost
inaudible voice for the greater part of
day, being relieved occasionally by
other Senators, until the rates he de-
manded were granted.
after this Quay, being outvoted on
some tariff rate. had only to reach un-
der his desk for the speech in order to
get what ne wanted.

Bromwell told a little anecdote which

Speaking OF the fact that the Demo-
Gratis would vote their ticket, right or
wrong" said Mr.. Bromwell; that the
Democratic majority in the South would
be. as it has been for years. given to
the Democratic candidate for President
in spite OF the fact that the people Of
the South. recognizing the prosperity
that had come to all tie country, South
as well as North. were in sympathy

The Swans Song.
BY Edward selous, in The London saturda.
Review.

By Edward Seous, in The London Saturday
Review.
And now what is this flight like, the
effects of which are so potent? At first
there is much commotion; the power
full wings smite upon the water with
long distance and all is foam about the
broad. bent tail and strongly padding
legs. Tho blows cease, but the bird is
not yet entirely quit OF the water, along
which he now runs, or proceeds with a
double motion of flying and running,
leaving pathway white as himself. like
a milky-wa behind him. The feet, in
fact, are for some tiTac an effectivs
help to the wings. Each, as it strikes
the water, jerks up the aspiring body
till, at length. the proud moment comes
when 1t can float without them, upon
which they bend upward and disappear
beneath the tail
And now the bird is of air, and the
wings, as rejoicing at it, burst in
stantly forth into music, emitting with
each or their strong, swift strokes,
note so clear and ringing. so full of a
wild, glad melody that all the beauty
and poetry of earth and sky and sea
seem to have been caught up by them
and translated into sound. The soul of
the world seems speaking, and its voice
is so siren-sweet that the heart lifts up.
This is the real music-thc song-of
the swan. True it is that sometimes he
sings to his harp as he flies, and the
note is then pleasing enough. But it
is only occasionally uttered, and so low,
in comparison, that ii is lost in the
other. 1t is not the clarion 1t should
be to match that. One must be near to
hear 1.-THE song Of the swan in his
flight.

Where Editors Are folite.

Polite as American and European ed
itors nre when dealing with persona
whose manuscripts they are unable 20
accept. they nevertheless do not soothe
the disappointed ones In the graceful
manner that Chinese editors do.
Here. for example. Is a letter which
was recently sent by the editor of a
Pekln newspaper TO a gentleman who
had offered an unavailable article:
Glorious brother of the sun and OF
the moon" It runs, behold thy son
who throws himself at thy feet and
begs for thy favor. We were intoxicat
ed with Joy when we read your beau
tiful manuscript. We swear by the
ashes Of our ancestors that we never
read anything equal to It.
THE result is that II we had pub
lished it the Emperor would have is
sued an edict prohibiting US from pub
fishing In future any article which
might be in the slightest degree in
ferior to your sublime composition.
This would mean that We might have
10 wait ten years before we could bring
out another issue of our paper
THAT is why / return your article
with 10000 apologies. Behold my hand,
which trcmbles as write.

FEMININE. OVERWORK.

Now and then one hears t!.a
comment that women never know
VIXEN TO stop and take 4 rest, but
persist in going on and on until
they arc exhausted. The eyplana-
ton, when one comes to think OF
it, is & simple one. Women have
for innumerable generations been
engaged in work which does not
admit Of vacations, while mans
work does. Hence a public opinion
has grown up in the one case
which Goes not exist ip the other.
The type of woman who is liable
to overwork is conscientious. If
she goes away for an absolute rest
of q month or three months, or
wear. she hears a chorus of voices
denouncing her as idle, incompe-
tent, or neglectful of duty. This
is especially the case if she be II
mother OF a family. She never
gets away from the care Of that
family, and she is always con-
scious of the fact that if anything
happens in her absence she will be
condemned by jury of her peers
for having been away when it oc-
cured. This sort of thing takes
all the rest ont of a vacation, and
few people have the nerve to dis
regard it.
This morbid conscientiousness,
however, is not a thing to encour-
age. The thing which every human
being should do is TO make sure,
first, that he or she has a fair
amount of the work of the world
to. do, and second, to stop when
that share is done, if a rest is
necessary. Of course, most people
who are worth anything in life do
more than their share of work,
but they should not break them
selves down in the process. Every
sensible person should find out
how far it is possible to go, with
safety to health and usefulness,
and stop there unless life and
death are involved. In that way
more will be accomplished for
ones self and for others than by
continual overwork out Of some
notion of pride or duty which is
not real conscientiousness at all.

Mr.. Bailey's Texas Auditors.

Senator Bailey, the other day, made
an eloquent speech against certain pro-
visions of the Choctaw Indian treaty
bill. But many people in the galleries
were less interested in his arguments
than in the Texas audience he had IN
the Senator's gallery. A bunch of half
a dozen or more fierce Texas mayors
and other officers had been to the White
House to invite Mr.. Roosevelt to visit
their State. When they left the Execu-
tive Mansion they went directly to the
Capitol, and were put in the Senator's
gallery by Mr. Bailey, who then began
to entertain them with specially i'm
passioned speech.
One of the mayors wore blue yarn
stockings, and he created much excite
ment in the press gallery by placing one
of his legs over the seat In front OF him
and exhibiting a large expanse Of the
home knit hosiery.
The doorkeeper of the gallery finally
persuaded him to draw In his leg with
out provoking any display of firearms.

The sympathy of the people is clearly with the
Pennsylvania coal miners in their heroic struggle
to maintain their organization and to obtain living
wage from the coal operators. The miners have been
willing from the very first to submit their claims to
a board of arbitration or the Civic Federation, but
this the coal operators have seadfastly refused to
do. Notwithstanding that Senator Hanna, Lewis
Nixon and others have urged this policy But it

E1ARDSHIPS CAUSED BY THE
ANTHRACITE COAL STRIKE


violation of law, and today those cities begrmed
and smudged with dirty black smoke, and all because
of the coal trouble in Pennsylvania. Pittsburg now
is not in it with New York.
When the authorities begin to enforce the anti
smoke law there will be protest from the
business houses where soft coal is now used
and there will be to blame but the
coal operators, who have refused to arbitrate their
differences with the miners.
If Congress could pass my bill to create De-
partment of Labor, questions like the coal difficulty
could not arise, if they did arise they could be
speedily settled But this Congress will do nothing
for labor-and | suppose the miners will have to
fight it ont to the end but the law against burning
soft coal in the cities should be enforced.
