the measures are the following:
The so-called Grosvenor anti-shoddy
bill. which provides for the federal in
spection and tagging of wooden goods
SO as to prevent the sale of shoddy and
waste as pure wool.
A bill providing for classified GEN.

The amended ElkiIs bill to amend
the interstate commerce act, so as to
give the commission power to enforce
its orders and DEGREES.
The general aim is to look after all

PROBING THE COAL PROBLEM.

The special grand jury in Chicago is
doing a good work liz trying to ascer-
tain how much truth there is in the
charge that a conspiracy exists among
coal dealers and operators to keep UP
prices. When the people are aroused
and are determined to know the truth.
and when their agents in such a jury
are imbued with the same purpose. they
are pretty apt to go to the bottom TO
learn the truth. This jury in Chicago
seems bent upon probing the matter
thoroughly, and in this movement they
are backed by all the people, who are
agitated as never before on this sub
ject. With coal being mined in larger
measure than ever, and with great train
loads sidetracked at many points, they
aresunable to see why shortage should
exist that would warrant great In
crease in price. Whether such con-.
spiracy exists or not remains to be de-
termined. 1t may be combination of
sCauSeS, all DaSeQ suptil the udIu Sodt
shortage in the east, that is producing
this condition of affairs. James f.
Morris, secretary OF the Illinois Fedora
ton of Labor, and y member of the
miners union, declares that the emer-'
gency existing is not caused by any
fault Of bituminous miners, who have
p Is j
contracts with operators and are living
up to them. He declares that "the short
age was caused by the anthracite
strike. and the strike was caused by the
OPERATORS that .in many places the,
miners over the state are not working
over half the time now because they
can't get cars. There is coal standing
upon the sidetracks of the railroads
fhruout the whole state of Illinois, but
1t is not being delivered. Under these
conditions why should the miners work
ten hours day.
1t is known that railroads. have been
handicapped by thei. inability to move
freight promptly, and probably this is
one OF the contributing causes.
Whatever 1t is that is seriously at
fault IS pretty certain TO be located, now
that the people are determined to know
the real reasons.

MARsHALLrowA IN A FIGHTING MOOD.

Marshalltown is prepared to prove to
all who care to listen that there is such
q thing as an offensive trust; that 1t
has the odious feature ascribed to such
organizations of lack of interest in the
locality where it operates one of its
big establishments; and that after eS-
plotting this community for all it could
gain in the way OF concessions, it has
yielded nothing in return but disap-
continent and broken promises.
For a number of years Marshalltown
has been temporizing and yielding to
the demands of the Glucose Sugar Re-
fining Company which maintains large
factories In Chicago, Peoria, Marshall
town and Davenport, in the hope that
It would establish in permanent way
an industry that would prove of value
to this community, and in the course of
the .city's dealings with it Marshalltown
has conceded:
Reduction of taxes.
Reduced water rates.
Improved sewerage.
company has run Its establishment
whenever it saw fit to do so: 1t has shut
down at unexpected times, throwing
from 100 to 200 men out of employment,
with no promise to them of future
work; it has kept its factory closed for
long periods; 1t has promised to reopen
and enlarge its works, only to ignore
the promise; and, to cap the climax, 1t
has partially dismantled its factory
here.
But the worm has turned. MARSHALL
town refuses to be spit upon. 1t has
put on It's lighting equipment, and pro-
poses to go after the recreant company
to the full length of legal redress. AT
least this is disclosed in the stirring ac-
ton of the city council, as reported in
yesterdays issue. and which outside
readers may have failed to notice.
The people of Marshalltown have lost
faith in the company and have eX-
hausted their patience in efforts to Sc
cure favorable treatment, and if the
city council pursues the policy it has
inaugurated it will bring the company
to time or cut off all concessions that
have been hitherto granted it, and hold
it vigorously to the observance of law
in all matters.

The Kaiser's Anger.
lst. Louis Globe Democrat.l

fSt Louis Globe Dem0crat.I
There is good reason for the displeas-
ure of William II. at the failure of his
representative in the United States to
inform him of the real feeling here with
regard to the demonstration by Ger
many and England against Venezuela.
He has removed the German minister
at Washington on this account, and
thus has caused some excitement in
Berlin, Washington, London and other
national centers. 1t is supposed that
DR.. Won Hollepen, Germany's ambassa-
dor at Washington, told the kaiser that
there would be very little antagonism
in this country to the allies demonstra-
ton against Venezuela, provided 1t
stopped short of territorial appropria-
ton. 1t is intimated also that the am
bassador led the kaiser to suppose that
President Roosevelt would act as arbi-
ter in the affair, and this was the rea-
son why the kaiser proposed him.
Evidently the German government
was surprised at the opposition which
the menace to Venezuela aroused in the
United States. There was no real be-
lief here that Germany meditated any
territorial seizure, but the harshness of
its procedure called out strong express
sions of hostility in this country. The
Germans sinking of the Venezuelan
war vessels, which could not possibly
do any harm to Germany, was an out
rage which would be sure to excite a
feeling of opposition here at any time.
This act was so needlessly offensive to
the sensibilities of the little country
assailed that every American felt the
government at Washington should pro-
test against it vigorously, as 1t did.
In regard to the question as to
whether the president would or would
not act as arbiter, the German minister
at Washington had some excuse for be-
ing astray. The president himself was
not averse to the acceptance of that
trust, but he was persuaded against 1t
by the cabinet. There are good rea-
sons for assuming that the president
could have met the duties of that post
without any embarrassment to the
country at presnt or in any future time,
and without creating any precedent
that would ever come up to bother us.
However, in putting the job Of arbitra-
ton on The Hague tribunal the presi-
dent did good work for that council,
which somebody in authority ought to
have done. The incident, so far as re-
CARDS the United States, has been
closed, and it has been closed in a way
which gives satisfaction to the Ameri-
can people

NATIONAL LIVE STOCK CONVENTION

that that portion of the tariff law OF

more violence has been done to the
protective system of the United States
by the folly and quiet and uncommunl

ton upon the treaties that we nego-
tiated under the authority of the act OF

est the people of this state should SO

No, no! The whole thing savors too
much of factionalism and we suggest

pend hostilities and wait until the re-

The editor of the Audubon Repub-

there is in that territory more open out

any half dozen states, with but little
chance to earn livelihood The Re-

good, but concludes that on the whole

[Keokuk Gate City.]
A word in reference to the local sup-
ply of coal Is in order just now. The
situation in Keokuk is not as critical
as it is reported to be in many other
places. All the dealers are getting fair
supplies of coal and If those who have
a weeks supply or more on hand will
quit calling for more and not get ex-
cited all will be accommodated and
kept comfortable. What is needed is
the exercise OF little consideration
and patience. If these are allowed to
govern, the coal situation will resolve
itself as far as this community is con-
cerned.
