Greatest Agricultural State.


The figures contained in the agt.ic,1l-
tural bulletin of the census bureau. Just
published. staeger the Imagination of
the average man. long srrfeited with
the statistics of colossal industrial
combinations. The total value of farm
products for the year in which the CEN
sus was taken was $i.l39. i is GOO; the
average income for each farm was
S655; and the average farm comprised
l46 acres. Iowa leads the list OF the
states with products for the year 1899
valued at s365.411,52S. and Illinois
Icones second with $345.649.611. Iowa
have over Sc per cent of improved farm
lands per cent more than Illinois.
which is again second on the list The
value Of the products and of the lands
of the north Atlantic states has fallen
off during the last ten years. but the
loss has been more than onset ny the
development of the northwest and the
southwest.
Pessimists who have seen evidence of
the decay of agriculture and the doom
of the country in the increasing number
of men employed i'm the various indus
tries Of the country should read the
bulletin and take comfort. The devel-
opment of the magnificent state of
Iowa is the work of the last generation
and has been synchronous with the in
dustrial advance Iowa could not have
been what it is. 1t is the railroads
which give Iowa access to the markets
and the agricultural machinery which
makes it possible for the population of
the state to plant and harvest the great
crop. Neither the character of the soil
nor the quality of the population. fine
as they both are, alone could have made
of the territory OF Iowa the state that it
is today.
The state is unique. With almost no
resources butthose of agriculture ii has
built up one of the most effective sys-
tenn of state education and one of the
best state governments in the entire
union. When the pessimists have grown
weary contemplating the agricultural
decline of New England, let them look
at Iowa and take heart. 1t may be that
the state of Texas. with is boundless
areas. may some day lead in value of
agricultural products. but it can never
present the picture of unbroken pros
perity OF successive fertile fields, and
the equable distribution of population
that gives Iowa its enviable position at
the head OF the agricultural states of
the greatest nation in the world.

SOME EFFECTS OF MoReAh's MERGING

The merging of number of Atlantic
line steamships into one great combna-
ton, thru the efforts of j. Pierpont
Morgan, very naturally aroused En-
glsh and Canadian interest and to some
extent resentment. To offset it an eff
fort has been made to induce the British
parliament to offer a big subsidy to a
steamship line to be run between
Canadian and English ports. How much
success may attend this effort is not
known.
The. Marine Review, which has pre-
pared an interesting Introduction to the
1902 edition of 1.-THE Blue Book of
American Shipping" calls the Morgan
shipping combination the dramatic
event of the year. Just what is in
volyed in it may be to some extent UNI

AN IOWA BOOK.

The Times Republican is in receipt OF
TN attractive volume of $50 pages en-
titled History of the Constitutions on
Iowa Ii was written by Benjamin +.
Shambaugh Phi. D.. professor of politi-
cal science in the University of Iowa. 1t
is dedicated to Charles Aldrich. founder
and curator OF the historical depart
nlent of Iowa The work is written and
intended as a narrative essay, and gives
the reader an accurate view of the sue
cessve steps taken in the formation of
the constitutions of Iowa and the es-
tablishment of the state as a member of
the federal union.
The book is more than mere dry
statement by a legal writer of the his
tory of constitution making. 1t out
lines much that is instructive and in
terestins in the early settlement of the
state. the former homes and characters
of the hardy pioneers who flocked to
this section, their efforts to separate
the territory from that of Wisconsin
and their movements to secure state
hood.
When the constitution was framed
controlled by the democratic party. The
constitution prepared in 1914 was twice
rejected by votes of the people, and all
tho there was some partisan opposition
to it upon the part of the wings the
democrats were not fully satisfied With
it. But the chief objection grew out of
the defining the boundaries, congress
having insisted in clause circumscrib-
ing the limits of the state, to which the
people objected The constitution
framed in 1916 was revision and
change of that of 1914, but it did not
appeal to popular favor. being carried
by margin of only 456 in a total vote
of over 1880. This is brief outline
of a number of chapters detailing this
history.
Some of the congressional views Of
the territory in its early days are inter-
esting. Calhoun stated on the floor of
congress that he had been informed
that "the Iowa country had been seized
upon by lawless body of armed men"
Clay had received information of the
same nature. And about the same time
Senator Ewing Qrom Ohio declared
that he would not object to giving each |
rascal who crossed the Mississippi one /
thousand dollars in order to get rid of I
him. Benton, of Missouri, who was
nearer, on the other hand declared of /
these pioneers, There was not a better
population on the face of the earth.
They We're of the best blood and ranked
with the best sons of the whole coun-
try.
The present citizens of this great
commonwealth are not ashamed of the
hardy pioneers and are proud of the
constitution that evolved from the early
efforts of her best citizens. They know
that Benton's estimate of the people
was accurate, and for proof they point
to the Hawkeye states Intellectual and
moral standing today.

What the Public Appreciates Most

The public appreciates more and
more the Importance of investing
money in men, not In buildings. When

greater good would be accomplished if

of deserving young men and women

The Dubuque Times notices that
there has been a marked improvement
in the demand for money in Iowa re-
Gently, an Improvement due to the land
boom in the Dakotas, Minnesota and

to inconvenience. Still the average cash
