Still More Prosperity.

We should be very satisfied to rest
on the present plane of prosperity for
years to come, but it seems that we
are still moving on" as is seen from
the following in "Bradstreet's" last
weekly report:
"Qnarterly failures and % per cent
less In number and liabilities are 46
per cent smaller than year ago.
Clearings are 20 per cent larger than
in March a year ago, and Ia per cent
higher than in the first quarter of
1902"
More business, fewer failures. Thus
the Dingley law works both ways
American Economist.
The prosperity of which the Econo-
mist speaks is not the result of the
DiDgleY tariff but in spite of it. From
1868 to 1865 the business failures in
the United States were less each year
than they are now each quarter, with
a tariff a great deal lower than the
Dingley law. We then had twice as
many dollars per capita for business
in the north as there are now. The
prosperity that the country has now
may be attributed to the increase in
the money circulation over what it
was In 1898 and the first few years fol-
lowing. The increase has been nearly
twice as much per capita as in 1896,
doing for the country just what the
democrats contended it would, and
that in spite of tariff taxation as a
to the trusts and to monopoly. The
tariff should be for revenue only, until
there is better method provided for
meeting the expenses of the govern
ment. Until then, all talk about free
trade is idle as the Economist and
every protectionist knows.

The state of Iowa is managing to

semi-annual inspection of the institu-

marvellous tales to tell of the success
of swine raising on the farm of the in
dustrial school at Eldora. Since Jan

sale of hogs from the Eldora farm.
and $4,000 more will be obtained be-
fore the season is much further along.
About 500 young pigs will be reared
this summer. Chairman Cownie says
the farm is being run in frst-class man
ner, and aside from having large num-

school have all the fresh pork they can

The. Corrector Corrected.
EDITOR PLAIN DEALER

In your paper of the 14th, inst. we
lind Uncle Dudley's correction that
failed to correct.
We are glad to learn that Uncle d.
is in tie land of the living, and we
are pleased to hear from him and to
possess his contribution to pioneer
memories.
Truly we are sorry that we failed to
recount his settlement here, and his
work and position among US. but we
must here offer a friendly word by
Way of correcting the corrector.
AS stated, tour first school house
became too small to accommodate, "and
the present school house in the old
town of Lime Springs was built in the
early days before our "big director"
otficiated.
When u. d. came here we cannot
say and he failed to inform us. He
settled little over a mile west and
attempted to start an opposition
village, and named it Glen Roy, To-
cation he called valuable because of
his "ddm site" as he called it, and
later sold to B. Hill and his son, Fred
Hill.
Building material was more scarce
than expensive and our school direct
ors very wisely decided that our school
house being new was too valuable
to destroy, and sold it for a dwelling.
1t was so used by II. ]. Stalker, G..
Mitchell and N. Fixes, who moved it
to the station, and it is now owned
and occupied by L. Hall as dwelling.
You see, Mr. Editor, this is not now
a question Of memory alone. That
school building existing to-day, set
ties the fact in question. So much
for the history of the first school
building built in Lime Springs in
1857.
If U. ID. had been school director at
that time, it is safe to say that "trou-
blesome clause' would not have been
written in that contract, as he was
tho observing and particular to admit
lit.
We see Uncle D. is forgetfut. This
is not to be wondered at now but it is
not the first time he has forgotten.
While living in Glen Roy where he
felsted his thoughts and vision on his
'dam site" and fancied he would In

ed drivers, his mules, and he rode to
the Lodge and left them at the post
in front, and attended to his duties.
When the meeting was nearly over he
hastily addressed the w. M. and asked
to be excused for few minutes stat
ing that he thought the mules we're
not hitched. He was excused amid
the merriment of the boys and the
Lodge was at refreshment awaiting
his return and report. The mules
were hitched to the buggy and not to
the post, but they were ever faithful
to U. D., and he was good to them.

DR.. B. A. Stockdale, of Council Bluffs,
has attacked the constitutionality of
the law requiring itinerant physicians
to pay license to the state. He says
that he has built up large and far
reaching practice which requires him
to maintain Offices in several of the
cities of western Iowa, which he visits
on regularly appointed dates. He is
a physician who holds a certificate
from the state medical examiners and
is entitled to practice medicine within
the state. He claims the right to prac-
tice as he sees fit, travelling or other
wise, in several towns or in one as it
suits him, maintaining that the GER
tificate issued to him by the state guar
antees him that right. The case affects
all itinerants, from who the state col
lects about $4,000 year. Very good
lawyers are handling the case for him.
