OVER $50 ATTENDED
Associate Charities and Kings
Dauqhters Gave Christmas Party.

Over go children were present at the
Christmas treet given by the Associate
Charities and the Kings Daughters at
the court house yesterday afternoon.
Long before the time appointed for the
tree, the children began to arrive, so that
they might be in time to get front seats.
The tree had been handsomely deco
rated and several of the long tables in
the room were filled to overlooking with
candies and gifts for the little ones.
After a prayer and a short address
by Rev. Ritchey, Mrs. Couch and her
assistants began giving OF the presents.
As each name was called, the child fer
whom the gift was interded did not
hesitate to make his or her presence
known. and the happy smile which illum-
ined the face OF the recipient must have
repaid the organizations for the trouble
and expense they had incurred in pre-
pairing the treat.
About fifteen minutes after the first
name was called. Santa Claus made his
appearance and was greeted by a shout
OF welcome from the children. He pre-
scented each of the little girls who have
attended regularly the Saturday after
noon sewing class at the rooms in the
court house with Ia ndsorne little Bible.
There were eight OF these little girls
who had attended the class both ia sum
mer and winter and they were very proud
Of the henor OF having Santa Claus
present them with the little books.
A remarkable and cornmendaele thing
was the absence OF any discomfort among
the children over III. lifts they received.
Each ono seemed content ,nd happy with
the present received. and 20 ore thought
that his neighbor had Jared better
Than he.
The young ladies' who assisted in the
presentation 81 the presents were: Har-
riet Reach. Anna Brown. Elizabeth Ca
rev. Agnes Davidson and Edna Bsttin.
The expectations had Quit. a number
OF things left over and although there
were many mere children present Jhsn

enough 70 20 round

CHRISTMAS TRADE
WAS LARGEST EVER
Merchants Report More Goods
Sold Yesterday.
BY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
Business Better This Year by
80 Per Cent.
BY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS

Last night closed the largest Christmas
trade ever done in the city. The mer-
chants. without exception, say that yes
terday was the heaviest in the history Of
the city. Owing to the unusually fine
weather. the Christmas trade began ex-
ceptionaily early and was a steady
stream unfit closing time last night.
Crowds of shoppers thronged the streets
and different business houses yesterday
from early morning until late at night
and from accounts given by the merchants
and from the number that carried pack
ages, they were evidently out for the pur-
pose Of buying
A prominent jeweler in the city said
last night that the days business was the
largest he has ever done in the twenty
years he has been in business. and that
the sales this year were 30 per cent higher
than last year.
From every train arriving in the city
crowds of shoppers aishted. and on &C
count of the heavy travel nearly all the
trains were delayed.
Today will be a sweet Christmas for
many, judging from the report of the
different candy dealers in the city. 1t
might be interesting to note that over
fooo pounds Of candy were sold in the
city yesterday.
The large dry goods stores were crowded
all day and al extraordinary business
was done in that line
One merchant was heard To remark az
the close OF last nights business: Wen.
] believe that fully 500 people were in
my store during the day. ard + never
saw a better natursi or Jolly set. It
might be that it was because they all
had money that they we're 81 good-na-
tured. can't say as TO that. but they
bought lots Of goods

WESTERN VIEWS OF THE DINGLEY
TARIFF.

1t is said that one of the main OBJ
jects of President Roosevelt's recent
western trip was to bring the Re-
publicans of that section in line on
the tariff question. 1t will be re-
membered that last fall Speaker
Henderson declined reelection to
Congress on the grounds that the
sentiment of his constituents did not
accord with that of the general Re-
publican policy on this momentous
question. At the convention that
nominate lMr. Henderson's successor
in Congress Judge Birdsall, the latter
said "that monopolies in the form of
combinations of capital to control
production and prices exist in this
country, is an admitted fact. Such
monopolies are the common enemy
of ALL" He made an elaborate ex-
PLANTATION of the opinions and pur-
poses ofhis associates. Among other
things he said:
1.-THE Republican party of Iowa be-
lieves in the greatest good for the
greatest number and will not permit
the policy of protection to become a
shield for the greed and avarice of
man, whether presented in the form
of Trust, individual, Joint stock, or
corporate existence, and will not per-
NIT it to be a shelter behind which
designing corporations shall be able
to Cypress the people ofthis country.
"When such men or corporations
have gained such control of the pro-
duction of any market for dutiable
products so that the price of the
same is regulated by them and not
by home competition, Iowa Repub-
licans propose to destroy such mo-
nopoly by applying the principles of
reciprocity and by so readjusting the
tariff as to force such combinations
into competition with the worlds
markets.
"The Republican party of Iowa be-
lieves that the question of rates is a
practical one, to be determined and
governed by the conditions of time
and production, and that nothing
sacred attaches to a mere table of
rates, which should be Ieadjusted to
meet the change in conditions"
In the face of the above declaration
it would seem almost inconsistent
for the Republicans of Iowa and the
West generally to be willing to ac-
cept the Presidential policy which
holds as sacred the present Dingley
Tariff Law. The question arises,
will the West at the next National
Convention of the Republican party
be willing in order to preserve Re-
publican harmony, sacrifice what it
regards as the best interest of the
people? Speaker Henderson did not
hesitate to put down his foot firmly,
and it would seem that his successor
holds to views which are radically
different from the present policy of
the party as expounded by the lead
ers at Washington.

TURN THE RASCALS OUT"


The Republican party is going to
have considerable trouble in trying
to explain away the postals frauds
which are being unearthed daily by
the department officials. Recent
developments seem to indicate that
the system of graft" extended to
many departments, but as the rake
offs were generally paid in cash it
will be difficult matter to prove
just who received the money. The
scandal is of such a stupendous
nature that the party willhave great
difficulty in convincing the now
critical public just who were the
.benefciaries. 1t has been indirectly
limited that portion of the pecula-
tion found its way to the grand
mother" fund, but the truthfulness of
the assertion is not so certain. 1t is
not easy to trace cash transaction
where vouchers were not required
and it is therefore hard to throw the
light of public investigation in a
manner that would be entire salts
factory to ever one.
1t is however, sufficiently apparent
that matters have been conduc j in
such aloose manner as to warrant a
change and the voters will take
hand to see that it is an effectual one.
1t has been the ambition OF many
prominent men to have a penny
postage on all first class matter, but
as the Department has been conduct
ed at a loss each year the scheme
was not deemed practicable. If the
funds that have been diverted for
private use had been allowed to 60
to the national treasury, things
might be radically different. There
is no tax that is felt more directly by
the people as every one, rich or poor,
is compelled to do more or less
letter writing. This bill will reach
a considerable amount in the course
of year and, if it was cut in two,
the public at large would be direct
gamers, instead of the amusement of
large private fortunes by dishonest
officials.
1t is said that we will have no
issue for the National Campaign of
1904. How would it do to take up
the slogan turn the rascals out"
There is much truth to substantiate
this battle cry, and the recent dis
coveries in the Postoffice Depart
ment have done much to strengthen
faith in the honesty Of the Demo-
cratic party.
