experience" we find that railroads We're
raised $A,236,692 last year and $5,229,-
BAT this GEAR, or a total of $9,466,039 ir
the two years. This is more, even, than
the Republican would nave it if we
should grant it the right to assume the
whole thing. In two years railroads
have been raised 90 per cent and in the
same two years farms have been raised
II per cent. The Republican makes a
very strong case in comparing one
years rise on railroads with two
years rise on farms.
1t is not the purpose of the T.-R. to
prove that the state administration has
eaten" any railroads. II is our under
standing that railroads were designed
for other purposes. We believe that
the local assessors reported land values
ar increased figures because land had
actually risen in value. We approved
of the councils action IN raising rail-
roads because we thought that the in
crease was substantial yet conservative,
fair ard not burdensome. An increase
OF 100000 in the last two years is
four times as much as the increase of
the two years before and yet the gross
earnings of the roads on Iowa business
during that time has been only about
two thirds of the gross earnings in
crease during the two-year period be-
fore. Likewise this S9,Coo,00O increase
ir railroad assessments for the last two
years has been four times the assess
ment increase of the whole ten-year
period from 1891 to 1901, and yet gross
earnings during these ten years in
creased more than four times as much
as they did in the last two years, and
that's some.
But what is the matter with the Re-
publican anyway that ii should thus
them? The Sioux City Journal has
asked the question ard has been
"stunlped" on the answer. The Du-
buque Times, a paper that opposed the
first nomination of Governor Cummins,
but remained republican still. says:
Certain newspapers representing
fractional opposition to the council We're
bound from the start to find fault with
whatever the council might do. Last
yeag they complained of the higher rail-
IA,
ty had not been advanced correspond
ingly, but, as shown by the figures of
actual sales submitted by the railway
attorneys. had been listed far below It's
actual value. This year they complain
thai farm valuations have increased 10
per cent, and that no corresponding IN
-creMses in other valuations have been
made. They were bound to find fault
il not upon one ground, then upon an
other. At present they are posing as
the friends of the farmers and trying TO
convince them that they have a griev-
ance against the executive council
The Times can not be accused of too
much "aduation." nor have we seen it
stagger under the charge of "inexperi-
ence." so it may understand the Repub-
licnn. but we can't subduc the suspicion
ourselves that certain shrewd railway
attorneys tnot overly pleased with rail-
way assessments. yet, too sly TO "squeal
in public, have conceived a bright plan
of attacking the council in the guise of
friendship for the poor farmer. The

'eThe Yellowstone Park is something
absolutely unique in this world. as far
as I know Nowhere else in any civil
lied country is there to be found such
q tract Of veritable wonderland, made
accessible to all visitors, where at the
same time not only the scenery of the

President Roosevelt.
This delightful spot IS more easily
reached via the Union Pacific than by
any other line. The stage ride from
Monida, by the splepdid Concord

inferior to the park itself.

each woman was pledged to secrecy and

An Epitouc.

A grubworm lay in the cold, dark ground,
Curled up in his narrow bed:
Not once he rocked of the warm sunlight
And the bright world overhead.
The birds might sing and the soft winds
blow
Or the fierce storms beat and roar,
But he lay curled up in his bed and e'er
A look of contentment Wore.
And 1t may be so he is happiest who.
Like the worm in its narrow bed,
Lives on to the end with no troublous
thought
To worry his stolid head;
Who far in the depths of his backwoods
home
Lives on till his life is spent
With his crust of bread and his ragged
couch,
Unknowlng the world-content!

The Disreputable Man on the Public

We are witnessing these days the
success of the disreputable man as a

breaches doctrines destructive to public
