Coming Immediately after the an
nounced purpose of the administra-
tion to "stand pap' on the tariff
schedules, at least until after election,
the Northern Securities decision is
regarded as particularly timely and
it is predicted by those statesmen in
Washington who are in touch with
the Iowa situation that this sounds
the death knell of the 'Iowa idea"
The Iowa situation has been the
occasion of no little anxiety recently
to the president and his advisors.
Governor Cummins' hearty espousal
of the Iowa idea, the immediate
revision of the tariff, has, it has bee n
feared, threatened a rupture in the
party in that stronghold of republic
eanism and the approaching conven-
tion, which will be called for the last
of July or the first Of August, was
looked forward to with apprehension.
Governor Cummins' control of the
state was appreciated and it was not
known whether he would insist on a
tariff revision plank in the state
platform. Now that the correctness
of the presidents position regarding
the trusts has been demonstrated 1t is
believed that the governor, who is a
staunch republican, and protection
ist as well, will appreciate that the
time has not arrived when a revision
Of the tariff is necessary and will seek
to avoid rather than to precipitate
questions which might occasion a
collision of divergent factions in the
convention.

The news Of the recent disaster on
the battleship Iowa has been receive
ed at the navy department with great
concern aud it is regarded as probable
that the secretary of the navy will,
on his return to Washington, order a
court to investigate the causes.
There are grave reflections tO.be heard
in inner circles with regard to the
ammunition in use by the navy and
it is possible that this subject will
receive particular attention. There
have been too many accidents onnaval
vessels in the past year and officers in
the high service are convinced that
there is some underlying cause which
requires a prompt and drastic remedy

The secretary Of agriculture, who
has long been recognized az the lead
ing exponent of the theory of teaching
the elementary principles Of agricul-
ture in the primary schools, particu-
larly those in the rural districts, has
organized class from the District of
Columbia Normal School and has
placed at its disposal small green
house for the purpose Of experimental
tion. The class now numbers nearly
one hundred young men and women
and Secretary Wilson often finds time,
Notwithstanding his active labors, to
90 out himself and lecture to the
class. This is only small beginning
but it is what the secretary hopes to
see established in every normal school
in the country in the not distant
future.

Good Roads Bill

The Sproul measure received an
almost unanimous vote in the house
and has gone to the governor. This
is probably the most important piece
of legislation of the session. The
bill carries with it an appropriation
of six and half million dollars for
ROAD purposes during the next six
years. There are about one hundred
thousand miles of road in the state
and the S3,250,O 900 which may be
raised from local sources would give
nearly $40, 900, 900 in the next six
years or 81, ,791.66 each year about
s1O.sO each year for every mile and
S64.80 for the six years. If this
money is carefully and permanently
expended it will vastly improve the
highways.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

There Is the utmost qualification in
republican circles in Washington over
the Northern securities Company
decision which is regarded as not
only a great victory for the attorney
general, but as proving indubiably
that the president and his cabinet are
correct in the proposition that eombi-
nations Of capital, effected either for
the restraint of trade or having 1t
within their power to prevent compe-
tition, can be reached and controlled
through the courts rather than by any
reduction Of the tariff which would
Inevitably operate TO the advantage
Of the trusts by removing all domestic
competition, that is by destroying
the smaller concerns in the same
classes Of industry. The haste with
which this decision was reached was
due to the so-called "hurry up' law
which was drafted by Attorney
General Knox and enacted by con
gress at the request Of the attorney
general and the president. Moreover,
as a result Of this law it is expected
that the Supreme court will give
precedence to the case at the begin
ming Of its fall term, next October,
and that decision will be reached
early in the fall. That the Supreme
court will confirm the decision Of the
court is regarded as a foregone con-
clusion in view of the fact that the
four judges who tried the case in the
circuit court Of appeals were unani-
nous in their opinion.

Some remarkable figures concern
ing the trade of the United States and
Canada have just been compiled by
the bureau of statistics, remarkable
chiefly because they demonstrate the
extraordinary popularity Of American
goods in that country. During the
seven months ending with the first
of the year the United States exported
to Canada goods to the amount Of
S67, 600, 600 as against $32, 100000
worth imported from the United
Kingdom and s2l, 600, 600 imported
from all other countries, and this
notwithstanding the fact that the
United Kingdom enjoys a tariff
difFerential of 333 per cent over the
United States. In the opinion Of a
prominent treasury official this coun-
try will soon control the Canadian
trade whether a reciprocity treaty is
affected or not.

If we're asked what is the favorite

should answer, taking long walks into

to be born with most Of them. Be-
sides. they are sturdy young folks, and
are perfectly willing to put up with in.
conveniences. For these reasons they
are just the people to enjoy walking
in the country, and the practice begun
in childhood is kept up during life.
When the children go on these long
walks, they often carry what we should
call botanical box (that lis, a tin box

rounded edges, and lid on hinges),
