DON'T COMPARE IOWA To MISSOURI.

While the price of Iowa land has
heen climbing higher year by year the
average price Of Missouri lands is still
about $l3 per acre. Iowa's average, ac-
ccrding to statistics of the same date
Is So and that of Illinois $3l. The
Globe Democrat asks Why this differ
vantages the Globe-Democrat claims
Missouri Is at no discount. The state
is we'll provided with railroads and riv-
ers. 1t has more than an average or
valuable minerals. It's mining sections
furnish a fine home market for hus-
bandry. Missouri can raise everything
produced in adjoining states, and mora,
too. Agricultural conditions are as good
as In Illinois and Iowa, and better hor-
tioulturally, yet the fact remains that
farmers on the east and north can sell
for $50 an acre and buy in Missouri
for $40 They are doing it by thousands.
The newspaper referret, to attributes
much of the Indifference to Missouri
lands to the fact that the state is demo-
cratic.
There is more than politics the mat
ter with Missouri. however. 1t Is not
an agricultural state like Iowa or Hi
nois. 1t has hardpan and rocks and
hills. It has not Iowa's foil. and as for
that matter neither has try other state.
While there is much god agricultural
country in Missouri there IS an over
plus of territory fitted precisely to the
lackadaisical and shiftless population
that now occupies It. Its general rail-
road facilities are not comparable to
those of Iowa's gridironed transporta-
ton lines.
The Bourbon farmer is truly enough
chief drawback to the prosperity Of
Missouri. but partisan politics is
scarcely responsible for the cracker
farmer. On the contrary he is the au-
thor of his politics Missouri was set
eminent appealed to the border ruff
fans, the ignorant and iawless, and its
social conditions are the result of its
earlier assimilation of an iliterate and
licentious class. This has been a fac
tor in diverting emigration away from
the state, but the physical advantages
of Iowa present as marked distinc-
ton to those of Missouri as may be
found In the difference in population.
There is good corn land in Missouri.
but Iowa is practically all corn land.
There are good grazing lands in Mis-
souri,, but Iowa Is practically one great
pasture. No state in the union is so
generally fitted for successful agricul-
ture and its kindred pursuits. Don't
compare Missouri to Iowa.

DANISH THE BOY KILLERS.

Four hundred and six de- tbs resulted
from tetanus as the direct result OF
wounds received during lis years ceie-
bration of the Fourth of July. AT least
these are the statistics published by the
.Iournal OF the American Medical So
e,ety. which has gone to tie trouble Of
collecting facts and Classifying the lst-
iuries from fireworks and toy pistols
Ten persons were utterly blinded, nine
t,--five lost an eye and ACC people lost
their lives. There were 4,449 injuries
sufficiently serious to be tabulatea IN
the census made by the Medical jour
nal.
The list of killed and injured reads
ike the returns from a cody battle.
OF the 4,449 hurt more t:.ar 10 per cent
died. The same number Of cases ae-
conlpanied by an equal number Of
deaths from any disease would be the
signal for stringent regulation ana
quarantine. There would arise a COM
mon cutlery Tor prOteCtl9H @1Iplii ilidi
adv that required once annually ard
killed one tenth OF Its victims.
There is need of such protection
against the toy pistol. the ssiant cracker
and the various means by which man
ufacturers and retailers distribute
death on demand and for price. Their
manufacture and sale sho ild be absD-
lutely prohibited under severe penal
provisions and the dealer and manu-
facturers should both be made liable to
damages for deaths or injuries result
ing from the sale of the prohibited ar
ticle.
Lacking state legislation each ml-
nicipal;y has the power and should
prevent these sales by ordinance. True
enough it is long time until the
next Fourth of July. but the passing of
preventive ordinances now would seF'i-
cusly discourage the manufacture of
dangerous explosives and encourage
other cities to similar action. 1t is time

@Ya HE next day every one was

ksssssy much quiet chuekling over the
discontinue of Robbie Muir and his
party.
The Pilot was equally distressed and
bewiltlered, for Bills conduct, so very
unusual, had only one explanation
the usual one for any folly in that
country.
