More Room For 1nebriates.

What is an outsider to think of Iowa
with the most rigid of prohibition laws
on its statute books? OF course those
live within the state know that intoxi-
cation is not becoming more common;
but the state board of control is doing
more than It has ever done to provide
accommodations for dipsomaniacs. At
the last report there were more than 100
inebriates confined in the Mt. Pleasant
asylum.
And now the board has decided to es-
tablish new department for inebriates
at the state hospital at Independence.
This will be opened on the 9Th of this
month. The action of the board has
been made necessary by the crowded
condition at Cherokee hospital. 1t ap-

Catching Them Twice.

The fret $4,000 of the new gold dol
lars, issued in commemoration of the
st. Louis fair, have been delivered by
mint authorities to the Uuited States
treasurer. The whole issue is limited
by law to 250,OOO coins OF one dollar
each, half of which will carry a likeness
of Mckinley and the other half 9
likeness of Jefferson. The object of
this division is to catch the coin collect
ors twice. for 1t is supposed to sell these
coins at SO each. The &25O,OOO which
the gold In them cost is part of the
governments appropriation upon which
the st. Louis people thus expect to
realize at least threefold. They will al
so receive certificates with the first two
hundred coins that are struck, giving
their number in order, and for these
pieces fancy prices are expected.
OF course If the government goes in
to the souvenir-coin and postage.stamp
business for one celebration, fair or ex-
position, 1t must do SO for all of them.
These crowd.drawing attractions are
growing numerous, and that being the
case the coin collector will never have
to look long for an investment.-Dav.

City Freeman Tribune, and possibly
some others, all republican newspapers,
do not like the "Iowa Idea" They are
as good as denying that protective
tariff shelters monopoly, and yet every
one of them must be aware that without
protection there could be no monopoly.
They all say they favor protection, and
protection is for the purpose of making
monopoly, or 1t has no purpose at all.
We fear their opposition is mainly di-
rected against Gov. Cummins, and that
they are using the "Iowa Idea" with

plnnt. and Grayitntion

The sense Of gravitation in plants is
that sense, for example, that makes a
pine tree grow straight upward. A
plant that curves assumes that position
because its sense of gravitation makes
It take the one best suited to its needs.
Some flower stalks are very curiously
guided by the gravitation sense. The
narcissus is an example. At first there
is Il straight shaft piercing the ground
with its compact pointed flower bud,
but as the flower opens the stalk bends
close to the top and brings the flower
tube into roughly horizontal position,
where it shows off its bright colored
crown to attract the insects, on the
visits of which it depends for fertiliza-
tion. The flowers are guided to the
right position by the gravitation sense,
and they increase or diminish the an
gular bend in their stalk until the
right position is attained.

The Dog.

Man is the best friend of the dog.
Horses come next. but between the
dog and all other farm animals, from
the house cat to the COW and the beef
steer, there seems to be natural en-
nifty. Dogs, however, are fond of
sheep and goats-but as diet. not as
living friends. Cows and sheep and
goats should be kept as free from as
ISOLATION with dogs us is possible, with
the exception of the trained shepherd
dog. A dog walking through cow
pen will often cause decrease in milk

cash value Of the dog. Many dogs are

Can Beat The Trusts.

While there are some communities,
notably the large cities, where the peo-
pie are q. the mercy of the meat COM
bine, there is not community in Iowa
and there are few communities of rur-
al character where the people cannot
readily protect themselves. 1t is true
that the law against trusts should be
enforced at public expense In this case
for the protection of the people of the
cities, but the communities of the west
hardly need the law.
Meat is fairly worth the price of the
animal on foot, with the allowance for
the cost of butchering with fair mar
gin of profits for sale. That is all that
meat can be shown to be worth. The
farmer is supposed to have had his pro-
fit when he sells the animal. If he has
not had the profit he pockets the loss
and the trust managers make him no
present.
Under the trust management the re.
tail dealers are bound to hard and fast
agreement as to their sales, and they
get no better profit than was theirs un-
der the old rules of business.
If the farmers are not now receiyinp
the proper prices for their stock and if
the people are paying too much for their
meat the whole volume of business
should be transferred from the packing
houses to the farmers and small BUTCH
ers. 1t is admitted that it costs more
to butcher in a small way, but the
butchers employed are experts and
slaughter good stock. Furthermore
they sell their stock for what 1t is.
Cedar Rapids is surrounded by territory
that can indefinitely supply the tables
OF the people and it would be better for
the city, and better for the farmer,
even though the price should be the
same, to employ local stock instead of
having meat shipped in from St. Joe,
Kanas City, Omaha and other outside
points, With the proper effort the meat
trust could be dissolved in month with
out the interposition of the officials.
