There is every indication now that
there will be great scarcity of seed corn
all over the country next spring says
the Farmers Tribune. In thesfirst place
the crop last year was short and in
many places very poor, from which it
was hard to select good seed. Seed
corn thatwas stored in careless man.
ner villa doubtless be injured by the sud-
den hard cold weather that swept over
the couEtry the last part of December.
Mr.. White, of Birmingham, Ala, is 60
ing all over Iowa collecting all the good
seed corn that can be found regardless
of price. He Informed the Tribune rep
resentatiae that during the many years
that he has been selecting seed corn to
be sent to the south he has never seen
it so scarce. He has orders to buy one
hundred carloads, but says he does not
know where ne can procure it The
Tribune ad dvises all Of its readers to be
careful about selecting their seed corn
this year.

A PARDON BOARD.

Some states have what they call par
don board. Perhaps you would prefer
to call it q pardon commission. But no
matter what itas called since names are
not important. We do not care to mul.
tiply boards or commissions in Iowa but
nevertheless it,does seem that we need
pardon board in Iowa. The governor
has too much, TO do and perhaps it is
not best that such large and growing
business should be concentrated in the
hands of one man and q tender hearted
man at that. at is hard upon hin and
there is ever ,iminent danger of break.
ing down his .pitiful emotional nature.
He needs q change. 1t would do such .
man good and would be kindness also
to put him on the judicial bench where
he could cultivate justice awhile ut the
expense of mercy. The treasury depart
ment may be good place.
Now the fact that Governor Shaw
/ ! ardoned or released from the peniten.
tiary no less than 473 convicts during
his term of two years leads us to sugges,
the propriety of pardon board. Pos
sibly it migLt be referred along with
railroad assessments to the executive
council. We merely suggest ia the
interest of economy.
! But to return, Of these 473 co0victs
twenty-five were murderers. Mark it.
| Twenty-six Of them were convicted ol
rape. Mark that also. Fourteen o1
them were convicted of mauslaughter

fraud, five for perjury and four for EN-
bezzlement. "a pretty kettle uf fish

ernor has been holding revival mee.ing'

that these are all sincere penitents anc

not word to say. All right. In tina

WHY DID NOT MR.. KNOX REPLY

Republicans can but weakly defend
United States Attorney General Knox
for his absolute failure to reply to the
question asked by a joint committee Of
the Antitrust League and the Knights
Of Labor regarding action to be taken
against the unlawful trusts.
The point at issue is not that of
whether the Attorney General Of the
United States should prosecute the
trusts or leaye prosecution to the vari.
GUS States of the Union. The joint
committee whose letter has remained
unanswered by the Attorney General
since September, last asked Mr.. Knox
what his conclusions we, in regard to
the petition requesting action by the
Department of Justice against certain
unlawful trusts.''
Nor is the Republican contention jus.
titled which takes the position that the
Attorney General should not be requir-
ed to place himself on record in this
matter. Mr.. Knox himself did not
dare to take this position. He wrote to
the Antitrust League and the knights
OF Labor: II will examine these papers
with care at as early date as possible
and communicate to YOU my conclu-
sion" Though the Attorney General s
letter was written September IL, 1901,
he has not yet communicated his con.
clusion' on the vital point at issne.
The joint committee of the Antitrust
League and the Knights of Labor have
cause to complain of United States At
torney General Knox's neglect of his
plain duty. The matter concerning
which they asked for information is one
of paramount Importance in this country.
The Attorney General knew: that it was
bis duty to answer the question asked
by the joint committee. He testified to
this knowledge of'duty in his. letter Of
September IL, 1901. And thereafter ne
paid no further attention to the per-
formance of his duty, for which reason
the JOINT committee is again calling the
Attorney Generals attention to the
matter. Why did MIR. Knox remain
silent2 Why is he so 10th to announce
"his conclusion with regard to the peti.
ton requesting action by the Depart
ment OF Justice against certain unlawful

TINE FOR A TEA PARTY.

The.war revenue law imposes duty
of tenscents per pound upon tea, every
cent of which. goes into the federal
treasury. As the. average annual con-
sumption Of this article is only about
one pound per capita, it follows that
the tax is no burden upon any one, yet
it realizes 10 the treasury about nine
millions Of dollars in revenue.
Nov the protective tariff hogs, who
already have both feet in. the trough,
want the tea tariff taken Of, because,
|'as they say,it encourages the lmpcr-
tation Of low grade teas. When the
law was being enacted it was argued
by the same fellows that the tariff
would eliminate low grade teas and
would encourage only the better grades.
1t is not known whether they were
Lying then or whether they are lying
now-one thing is certain, that both
sides don't track with the truth. In
fact, neither of them are true SO far
as the protectionist fellows are concern.
ed. They desire the tea tariff removed
because it interferes with their taxes on
steel, IRON, glass, nails, and other pro.
ductions that have made them million
ares and has encouraged the organiza.
ton Of trusts all over the country, and
which tariff they want retained.
| They desire all tariff taxes for pro-
lection only, and would eliminate every
element Of tariff that affords revenue,
because they are fully aware that reven-
ue tariffs go into the treasury, while
they want such tariff in their own
i pockets. 1t is getting about time for
another lea party. And unless all
signs fail there will be one if the present
congress fails to do its duty. Let the
tea tariff stand, and remove some of the

| nails, lumber and other necessities
