Wall Street and the Public.


Wall street is deeply concerned just at
present over the question when the multi
tude will begin buying the wares which it
has to offer Wall street operators, like all
other traders, are very DESTROYS of prose-
cutting the business of buying and selling
stocks. and of late they have been busily
engaged in marking down prices advertis-
ing bargains and bankrupt sales and doing
their best to bring back customers to their
counters. This has been difficult of ac-
complishment, and markdown has followed
markdoWn with such beWi!dering rapidity
that there seems to be no limit in the re-
auctions in prices. The fact apparently is
that the business has been overdone. The
dear public" has had so many gold bricks
handed out to it of late years that it has
become suspicious of everything of that
character, no matter how tempting 1t may
be made.

South Carolina.

From the Charleston News and Courier
There has been a steady decrease in the
proportion of the foreign population of this
state during the last three decades. Great
and powerful commemorative have been
built up in the west by foreign immigra ton
while South Carolina has been drying up
in the southeast, or adding to its population
only the natural increase. It ought to be a
comparatively easy matter to fill the va
cant lands of which there are hundreds OF
thousands of acres in this state, and to
establish new industries for which there are
uneXcelled opportunities here, but we cam
not expect the immigrants to come to US
unless we manifest some sort of interest
in their coming.

Abuse of the President.

One would prefer got to credit the low
talk about the President attributed to ex-
Gov. Iogg of Texas in dispatch from New
Orleans And yet he has probably not been
misguoted. The language is in line with
much that is going on the subject with men
of the Hogg temperament 1t is somewhat
the fashion in certain circles to describe the
President as a swagSerer, siddypate, and
a negro-lover. Ne or Vardaman of Missis
sippi has won governCrship on the excess
sive vulgarity of his invective. Is Gov.
Hogg seeking office by the same means?
Or was he merely relieving his mind at
New Orleans in compliment to his partner
in the oil business. who was present?
No public official in this country is above
criticism. or should be. AS servant of the
people. the President, the same con-
stable. is accountable for mis- conduct in
office. But the critic who INDUCES in coarse
abuse of the President not only offends
good taste but ministers to dangerous pub
lie sentiment. He is closer than he relishes
being told to the creatures who make extra
precautions for the Presidents personal
safety necessary. Not infrequenuy he in
spires them. They take their cue from him.
They show in their way the same spirit
which controls him.
If President Roosevelt were to visit New
Orleans every means would be adopted by
the authorities to insure him a respectful
greeting. Men who differed radically from
him as to public policies would labor to
make his stay pleasant. His great office if
nothing else would recommend him to their
consideration. They would honor them
selves in honoring him as the Chief Magis-
trate. If as the Presidents carriage passed
along the streets some rowdy should rush
forward from the line on the sidewalk and
hurl offensive epthets at the distinguished
guest would he not be promptly seized and
hurried to the lookup? Would not every
gentleman in the city regret the episode?
And yet such a rowdy might very well
quote Gov. Hogg in an attempt to justify
himself. Indeed, he would appear in a bet
ter light than Gov. Hogg now does He
would only have obeyed in moment of
great excitement the instincts of a rowdy,
sharpened by suggestions from man who
has himself held high office Gov Hogg,
accustomed to the usages of polite society
and asking for himself the considera ton
due to gentleman, cold-bloodedly insults
IN conversation intended to be widely dis
tributed the chief officer of his government.
Inns Iexas statesman and men like him are
very largely responsible for whatever there
may be In the Presidents hip pocket.

The Unattainable.

What though you get your present wish
You won't be happy.
Though 1T may make a pleasant dish,
The fish you catch is not THE fish; =
Whateer betide. life will be scrappy-
You won't be happy.

You won't be happy. :

Movement for Narrower HIGHWAYS.

1t will be remembered that during
the last session of the state legislature
Representative Will Larrabee, of Fay
cite county. introduced bill provid-
ing for reducing the width of Iowa's
country roads. All kinds of sport was
made of the measure and it was
ignominiously defeated. The feeling
is rapidly spreading over the state
that it 10 not such foolish idea after
all. Millions of dollars worth of
Iowa soil is laying idle each year,
doing absolutely nothing but raise
weeds, and being of no service to
country roads whatever. We are in
clined to believe tina. the width of
most OF the country roads should be
reduced to thirty three feet, restoring
one rod on each side of the roadway
to the adjoining farm at an appraised
valuation, the amount thus raised to
be applied directly under skillful
supervision upon the roads. This
would result in vast increase in the
acreage of Iowa farms, and greatly
improved condition in our public
highways, at least problem which
must we spe edily confronted

Not Expected of a Circus.

Ringing Bros circus is commonly
known as a Sunday School Show"
Absolutely no profanity is permitted
on the grounds and the use of an oath
is considered sufficient grounds for a
discharge. Many of the men are &C.
tive Christian workers, and next year
a minister of the gospel will be part
of the circus organization, who will
hold services twice OH Sunday in the
great tented city. The leading clown
is religious crank. He ia a wealthy
farmer and his home is in South Da.
kota He goes with the show In sum-
mer and lives at home in the winter.
Many of the other performers and
some of the clowns are members of
leading churches and among the en-
ployes are numer of college gradu-
ates and men wealthy enough to retire
who do this work merely as a diver
sion. In this respect no other show is
like Ringlings'. 1t is the cleanest
show that travels and no hanger on
will be permitted for moment.

DEBORAH Wins From Spring Grove.

The base ball game at the fair
grounds Saturday afternoon between
the Spring Grove and DEBORAH mines
attracted quite crowd and proved
quite an interesting game, although
the Spring Grove team was outplayed
by the DEBORAH team. Eiken pitched
for Spring Grove and Bidne for De-

and is developing rapidly, and Eiken
is also capable of good work. The
score was II to 5, in DecoEah's favor.
