ROOSEVELT AND THE PEOPLE.

ROOSEVELT AND THE PEOPLE.
Roosevelt, as president, is not
only commander in-chief of the
army and navy, but also Of congress.
AT least no president since Jack
sons time has SO squarely laid down
what the house and senate must do.
The American people without re-
gard to politics, religion, or pre-
vious convictions, are unanimous
in the demand tor legal protection
against the trusts, which are aiming
10 absorb the earth and all it con-
talns. Our strenuous president
having concluded that the people
have rights, which the trnsts must
respect, that the individual citizen
should have a chance to exist a
reasonable length Of time, notified
congress that some effective anti.
trust measure must be enacted or
otherwise he would convene the
senate and house in extra session.
Both the house and senate got a
move on, and both passed rather
drastic anti trust measures. AS vet
they haye failed to concur or even
to confer. The fear is that both
measures may fail for want Of agree
ment between the two branches as
to which is best. A failure to do 50
and they will find themselves re-
convened, which means extra
ira expense for the individual men,
Der and maybe continuous wrangle
reaching into the heat of summer.
And now the president has pro
claimed another ultimatum, to the
effect that in the failure Of the sen.
ate to ratify both the Panama canal
and the Cuban reciprocity treaties
he will call an extraordinary session.
There are, no doubt, grave reasons
of state why the treaties referred to
should be Immediately ratified.
Certain it is that the people of the
country are demanding protection
against the plots and conspiracies
of the monetary combines. This
schemes of pauperizing the COM
mouality in the name of law and
liberty, as an inalienable right, is
becoming monotonously calling.
The congress, in failing to heed SO
universal a demand from the people
for relief, should be convened and
reconvened until forced to effect
lively act. For the most part all
this talk on the floors Of the two
houses, Of the danger that all anti
trust Legislation will fail to stand
the test Of the courts, and that it is
ncxtto an impossibility to compile a
a law on that subject which would
prove constitutional, is principally
rot. The people who demand such
Legislative protection are greater
than the courts or the constitution.
To make, unmake, and remake
both is among their perogatives, as
they can make and unmake Sena-
tors and Congressman. And the
people will stand by their president
in his demand for action. -Wichita

EARTHQUAKES ARE NUMEROUS.

About fifty earthquakes yearly dis
turb the world throughout its mass.
Prof. John Milne notes that between
Jan. /, 1899 and Jan. /, 1902, the world
shaking earthquakes numbered 1876, of
which 25 originated west and south of
Alaska, IA west of Central America,
16 west of the Antilles II west of the
Andes, 20 east Of North Japan, Al
south and east of Java, II north of
Manritius, % on the east side and 3
on the west side of the North Allan
tic, in the North Atlantic, and IA in
the Balkan, Caucasian and Himalayan
regions. These sources-all subma-
rine but the last three-are near the
base of the steepest flexures, with
boundary ridges mostly lined with vol
canic peaks. Both on land and under
sea, the great earthquakes seem to at
tend a deepening of the burrows and
an elevation of the fianking ridges;
and the elevation may reopen long
sealed volcanoes, as in the eruptions
in the Antilles in 1898, 1718, 1866. 1897,
1902, 1912, 1886 and 1902. The small
earthquakes-of which 10000 a year
are recorded-have no sensible con-
nection with volcanoes.

derful growth of Oskaloosa is manifest
on every hand. Her business houses
have been improved and enlarged,
Offices remodeled, homes beautified,
and everywhere there is an air of pro-
gress.
For 1903 the attention of Greater
0skaloosa will naturally turn to the
thought of Greater Penn College. Here
indeeu is growth tnat strengthens.
Penn has made splendid progress in
laying broader foundations by securing
additional endowment but the material
prosperity of our city and the country
which is unprecedented has been
greater, and the growth OF the college
must not be allowed to fall behind.
May we not soon read in big round let
tiers $4,000 for the Central Main
building of Penn college. The citi-
zens of .Oskaloosa and the residents
of Mahaska county should all be in
terested in this enterprise which now
on this splendid foundation construct
ed out of faithful effort for 80 years,
with results apparent on every hand,
the citizens of this town and country
are going to enlarge and strengthen.
They have tested and enjoyed the
benefits, and are now going to give it
their loyal support. A Pennite.

Newton Courier: Down at Oska-
loosa they are worrying over the ice
problem, being fearful Skunk river
will not freeze sufficiently to afford the
desired thickness of ice for storage
purposes. Don't fret, we will have
plenty of ice making weather yet. 1t
may not come before the last of the
present or first Of next month, but it
will arrive all the same. Iowa never
fails to raise a crop, not even of ice,
and don't let that fact escape you.
The Creston Gazette is surprised
to read that it costs the government
1850, 900 per year to run the weather
department, taking into consideration
the willingness of the Oldest inhabi-
tant to furnish weather predictions for
nothing.

LOVE HAS TAKEN WING
Hastings Says wife's Affections are
Alienated.

Washington, Jan. 20.--Before large
and interested audience of spectators
one of the most unusual cases ever
tried in this county in which the plain
tiff, w. w. Hastings brings action
against Joseph Marek for $4,000,
charging him with alternating his
wife's affection, is now being heard be-
fore Judge Preston Of oskaloosa, in
the district court here.
w. w. Hastings is one o. the old
residents Of the county, man 72 years
of age and a veteran OF the Mexican
and Civil wars. His wife is many
years his junior being about 4S years
old. Joseph Marek is young farmer
about 4S years of age, unmarried and
said to be worth about $4,000.
Evidence in the case Is now being
taken, the testimony for the plaintiff
having closed, the witnesses for the
defendant are being heard. According
to the testimony already brought out,
Mr.. Hastings was married to his pres
ent wife during the year 1900 and
since that time it is held by the plain
tiff that Marek has several times visit
ed his home and that as a result of
these visits has succeeded in winning
the affections of the woman.
L., laJI
been brought out in the evidence that
during the frequent visits of the de-
fendant to the home of the plaintiff,
he, together with the wife of the plain
tiff, took many long drives about the
country and that following these, the
love of the woman for her husband is
said to have grown cold.
OF the testimony thus far introduced
in the case, that of a witness from
Williams is believed to be the most
| damaging to the cause of the defend
ant 1t is alleged hat during the
latter part of 1901 the wife of the
plaintiff in company with the defend
ant drove to his home. He further
states that during their stay the de-
| fendant placed his hand affectionately
on Mrs Hastings and that their ac-
tions during their stay were such as
would have done credit to newly
married couple.
Though little of the testimony has
been taken it is stated that the de-
fendant will attempt to prove that his
visit to the Hastings home were at the
invitation and solicitation of the plain
tiff. In his petition the plaintiff al
leges that he and Mrs. Hastings have
been close compan-o -ons in their early
school days and thas since then, they
have always been close friends and
their actions on any of the occasions
on which they were together showed
no misconduct on the part of either.
All the parties in the case are well
known in this vicinity and the case is
being watched with unusual interest,
large crowds of spectators being pres
ent at each session of the court. W.
w. Hastings, the plaintiff, has for
many years lived in this county. He
is a cousin of Ex-Governor Hastings OF
California.
The Oskaloosa herald., 1903-01-22

few points of resemblance, the con-
trasts of 1900-1902 with 1SS0-S2 are far
more in the nature of condolences
than the economic and pre-arranged
facts from which there is no escape in
the corollaries. We are forwarned in
this cycle and that means much.
Discussing the same subject from
the point of view suggested by the re-
cent increase in wages made by the
railways with corresponding increases
in freight rates, the Hartford Courant
explains that wages go up because the
cost of living has gone up, and then
the cost of living goes up a step high
er because wages have gone up. The
result is thus stated.
Prices rise for everything and this
rise tends gradually to weaken de-
mand. The man who was going to
build a new house thinks he will
wait" The factory that was going to
enlarge, decides to watch while first.
So the boom hesitates and goes slower
it has gone. We do not mean that in
dustry ceases, but that the feverisn
pace is abandoned and business in
stead of eagerly rushing ahead is con-
tent with supplying the immediate and
continuing wants of the public. There
comes a dull time and very likely
reaction, and then another start for
ward. There seems to be no way to
prevent the pendulum-like swing of in
dustry from extreme activity to ex-
treme dullness. Some observers think
that the great progress of modern
times, with the wonderful facilities of
travel and communication which have
abolished space, have brought the
world together and nave tended to
steady things and prevent either ex-
treme of trade. This is yet to be as
certained. There are others who think
we have lately been having one very
extreme swing of the pendulum.

THE PENDULUM OF PROSPERITY.

A good deal of comment on the
twenty-year theory of the recurrence
of periods of depression is appearing
in the newspapers at the present time.
There was panic in 1887 and another
in 1857; the civil war may account for
the next one coming earlier, or in 1873,
while 1898 saw another; is this no
more than coincidence, or is it recog-
nized political economy? Among the
leading journals of the country that
have given attention TO this subject
recently is the Boston Transcript,
which inclines to the view that the
great changes in national finance, in
trade, in corporation management and
financiering have so secured our in
stitutions that a panic is not necessar-
lily the concomitant of boom" In
the great liquidation IN STOCKS of late
months, due to the conservative course
of the banks in withdrawing credit ac-
commodations from the forever-and-a-
day boomers, the Transcript sees a
sign of a growth in conservatism
which may indicate determination to
prevent recurrence of the upset that
followed the boom of1SS2. The same
paper goes on to say:
It is in the thought that through all
of the extravagances of these piping
years of boom the great lesson has
been learned of securing the basic
foundation of it all-conidence-that
we may feel hopeful that the twenty
year" theory" is not a foreordained
necessity in all its developments and
applications. From the outworn wis
dom of the past true wisdom of the
present can see what is needed for the
future and apply it. And it is not too
early now, when certain grave mutter-
ings and murmurings tend to show
that all is not one-sided in our finan-
cial, commercial and economic situa-
tion, as it has been pretty much for
the two years past. To him who
thinks more than superncially and re-
frains from jumping to conclusions on

One of the most enthusiastic

One of the most enthusiastic at
tendants at the recent Farmers Insti-
tute held in this city was Stephen
Pomeroy of Garfield township. He had
on exhibition what in this age is a
great curiosity, the door of a log cabin,
together with the hinges and the
latch, all made of wood taken from
the native timber. The construction
of the door showed great ingenuity,
being put together with pegs in place
of nails. The cabin from which the
door was taken was built by John
Morgan in 1848, near where Fremont
is now located. The saw used in cut
ting the boards was run by a tread
mill driven by a yoke of oxen. Such
old specimens as this should be pre-
served and placed in some central lo-
cation where they could be seen and
enjoyed by the public.

FIRE ESCAPES.

Editor Herald: 10 those whose in
terests may be that way, l wish to
call attention to the present method of
putting up the fire escapes as planned
and urged by our fire chief. The point
in question is the location of the land
ing. 1t is being placed at the base of
the second story window. Instances
are not wanting in which the first that
was known of a fire, the flames were
leaping from a second story window.
What has been once may be again.
Supposing for example, that from spon-
taneous combustion fire should start
in the second story of the Hub Cloth
ing House, and as is common in such
instances a gas generated which
ignites and makes full fedged fire
at once, the flames quickly bursting
forth at the windows. How much pro-
lection would the fire escape in that
instance afford the FOresters, who
might be in third story hall at the
time. The law was made for the pro-
lection of those who use the third
story of buildings. The fire escape
should conform to that intent at every
point. James Harrison.

SWITcHMEN QUIT.
Iowa Central Men Leave the Com
pany's Service.


Marshalltown, Jan. 20.-Because two
Iowa Central switchmen were dis
charged Saturday night on the
grounds that their work was unsatis-
factory, three others qui, today, and
it is said that others will follow suit
in a few days. TIL switchmen have
an idea that because of the recent
strike the company is contemplating
discharging all the men, from time to
time, who participated in the labor
trouble. Rather than be summarily
dismissed they prefer quitting of their
own accord. The places of the men
have already been filed and the COM
pany does not expect to be inconveni-
enced at all because of the mems ac-
tion.

THE ignorant, mouthing dema-
gogue is wont to proclaim to the popu-
lace that the poor are growing poorer,
says the Ringgold Record. "The facts
teach very different lesson. For ex-
ample, the $4,000 depositors in the
savings banks of 1882 with an average
deposit of $135 are now over 5000, 900
in number with an average to each
persons credit of over $400. The
banks in which the wage earners de-
posit their savings could buy out all
the other banks in the land and twice
over pay the national debt. And yet
these demagogues will continue to
talk and gullible people will hear and
believe"

State Superintendent Barrett's 7

State Superintendent Barrett's re-
port on the condition of the public
schools of Iowa for the year 1902
shows conclusively that the teachers
of this state are woefully underpaid.
The average monthly wages paid the
29,O79 teachers employed last year
was but a little more that $32, while
the average paid the 4,161 male teach
ers was but $43.66, and the average
received by the 24,912 female teach
ers was a meager $30.17. If it were
considered that some of the male
teachers and many of the female
teachers were employed in cities anu
towns where much higher salaries pre-
vail than the general average for the
state, the average pay for rural teach
ers would be reduced to an average OF
about $25 per month.
