CHAMPIONSHIP MISLEADS.
There Is No Breach Between the
President and Congress.
Washington Post:


A number of Republican papers which
pose as special champions of President
Roosevelt are peTsistently laundering IN
their championships 1t cannot be for
the interest of the president or his party
to represent him or the Republican
leaders in Il false light and there is not
the slightest reason to suspect him or
them of promoting or fayOring such
Misrepresentation. The ideal situation
would be absolute harmony between the
president and the leaders of the domi-
nant party in congress That would be
quite possible without positive agree
ment On all questions of policy All
that IS requisite for harmony between
heexecHtive and legislative departments
is mutual recognition of their respective
duties and responsibilities The Post *

exist. N spite of the continued asser-
lions of a contrary tenor by the super

One of the absurd assumptions of
those champions is that the American
people depend on the president for the
enactment Of antitrust laws OF course
the president is not a victim of that
delusion. He knows the part in legisla-
ton that the constitution assigns him,
and is not likely to go beyond its limits
But for more than six months past

We are sometimes led to suspect th=
genuineness of the friendship which
these organs profess for the president.

A Simple way Of Cleaning White Far
Make a lather of soap and water
with q small piece of soda dissolved in
it and a tint of blue. When cold wash
the fur in it, and if not quite clean take
a fresh lather and third if necessary.
Draw the fur to and fro in it and shake
it about in the water until quite clean.
Then rinse in fresh cold water and
hang up to dry in the wind if possible.
Shake the fur frequently and when dry
brush and comb it very gently and
carefully. See that the brush is abso-

THE TRADE REVIEWS.
Dunn and Bradstreet Tell of Coun-
try's Business.

New York, Jan. 31.-R. g. Dun a.
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
domestic trade and industry con-
tinue to prosper, while the fuel sit
uation has grown less disturbing
through the special efforts of trans
porters, aided in no small degree by
mild weather. Distribution of other
products has been restricted by the
discrimination in favor of coal, and
shippers are importunate. Clearance
sales are about ended, leaving only
small stocks of winter goods. Adj
vance business in spring deliveries is
very heavy, and fall contracts are
also placed literally. In most cases
where there is no delay on fuel ac-
count, manufacturing plants are
busy, though cost of materials and
labor is very high. Firm prices for
finished products are consequently to
be expected. Favorable returns OF
railway earnings are constantly is
sued, figures thus far available show
ing an increase of 81 per cent. over
last year and 17.9 per cent. over 1901.
Miles of loaded cars and thousands
of tons of coke piled in the yards at
Connellsville tell the story of COLI
ditions in the iron and steel indus
try. Furnaces are closing because
of the fuel shortage. BY giving coal,
live stock and perisbable goods prece-
dence over all other freight, the
railroads helped consumers every
where, but at the expense of the lead
ing manufacturing industry. Many
plants are closed or running only
part time, and few orders for dis
tant delivery are sought or offered,
owing to the uncertainty as to when
normal conditions will prevail. Fail
ures for the week numbered 243 in
the United States, against 3o1 last
year, and 80 in Canada, compared
with 40 a year ago."
Bradstreet's says: TRADE develop
ments in January confirm the san
guine expectations and prediction
made at the outside of the month.
Wholesale and jobbing trade in spring
goods, millinery, boots and shoes and
hats is improving steadily, January's
jobbing business at the leading cities
east and west being the best ever re-
corded in that month. Shipments on
orders are larger and earlier than in
preceding years. Retail trade reports
are hardly so favorable. Unseason-
able weather dulls retail distribu-
ton in this line, and the usual Janu-
airy clearing sales are attracting less
than ordinary attention. Among the
industries no sign of tagging activ-
ity is noted. Iron and steel produc-
ton is at its highest point, despite
fuel and car shortages, and prices
are higher. Activity in lumber is also
noted the country over. The general
price situation remains strong, corn,
among the cereals, and cotton
among the textiles, leading"

CONTEMPT OF COURT.
Judge Clements Wakes up Negligent
Administrators.


Judge Clements IS going to have
probate matters attended to In the way
the code of Iowa contemplates or know
the reason why. Yesterday he issued
orders that all executors, administra-
tors and guardians must have reports
fled by March /, 1908. Failing to do
so. citauons shall be issued by the
court and be served upon all such de-
linquents to appear Immediately and
show cause why such order has not
been complied with.
The order was the outcome of neg
ligence noted in the case of the estate
of Louisa j. Wharton when it was call
ed up for final settlement. 1t appear
ing that the administrator had not
complied wilA the order of the court
made in reference to paying r. X.
Davis $500, and had not filed his final
report as ordered, it was ordered by
the Judge that a citation be issued to
such administrator requiring him to
appear on February II and show cause
why he should not be punished for con-
tempt of court.
1t seems that the court and other
courts have been annoyed to a consid-
cradle degree by delayed reports and
the little attention paid to the requests
and the orders of the courts for re-
ports in probate matters. Patience
long abused has now ceased to be a
virtue and these matters must be han

ness by parties interested or punish

@. Cut.

The heavy detonatlons heard in the
city for the past several days are caus-
ed by the blasting Of frozen earth in
the cut of lne Burlington Ry. south
west OF the city. The dislodgement Of
the frozen eartn is necessary to the
progress of the steam shovel. The re-
ports Of the explosion sound quite loud
in the city, much like the discharge OF
heavy artillery. Many people have
been puzzled as to the cause Of the
frequent explosions and many stories
have been started in explanation OF
the noise. One story is to the effect
that the explosions have been caused
by the sudden igniting OF gas at the
factory of the company southwest OF
the city. This is wholly in error
