From Thursdays Daily.
I'm all this gross Misrepresentation
Judge Parker not only shows his ut

the Office Of president of the United
States but shows that he makes state

Senator ]. H. Trewin of Cedar Rapids
in the opening speech Of the republi-
can campaign in the Grand opera
house last evening. Considering the
weather of the evening there was a
good attendance and though the II
dience was not large the speaker was
shown the closest of attention and his
speech was greeted with frequent
bursts OF applause.
Mr.. Trewin arrived in the city during
the morning and during the day
met many Of the local politicians. Mr..
Trewin's name is being prominently
mentioned as a probable candidate for
the republican nomination for the gov
ernorship at the next election and his

song made a hit and the encore de-

other catchy quartet entitled Johnny

duced the speaker of the evening pre-.
ceding the introduction with a short
appeal to the voters to not fail to reg
lister ut the proper times and places.
l The Address.
The address was in part as follows:
I. This is a peculiar presidential cam
paign. There isn't any excitement,
there isn't any anxiety, and there
isn't any danger that Par
ker will be elected. 1t is
all coming about just as Bryan pre-
dicted before the democratic candi-
date was nominated that with a can
di1ate presented to the country by
Hill. Belmont and Wall street the cam
s paign would end in a rout.
Standing on a Telegram.
II should not be surprised If PARKER
were defeated worse than Horace
Greeley. for the democrats are at
tempting to carry on a campaign
without a platform and with a candi-
date standing on a telegram. A
strange condition preceded the demo-
cratic national convention. The Cleve-
land wing Of the party was standing
out for what was designated as a re-
turn to sanity while opposed to it was
the Bryan element demanding the con-
tinuance Of the vagaries Of the past
two campaigns. The result is a plat.
formStof melancholy silence. There
is not a word in it on the money ques-

FOR GOOD ROADS.
(Chandler Publlcist.l


The activi of the various states in
the matter Of securing road improve
ment is most encouraging.
A very important good roads con,
yention was held at Columbus, Ohio
early in January 1t was a meeting
of the county road commissioners
from all parts of the state. The sub
ject of road improvement was, of
course, the main topic for discussion.
The commissioners expressed them
selves in no uncertain terms in favor
of government aid The advocates OF
that proposition may well congratu-
late themselves on the stand Ohio is
taking on the question. Hon. Samuel
e. Kemp, the president of the conven-
.tion said that while he mad hitherto
doubted the policy of appropriating
money from the treasury Of The Unit
ed States to aid in building roads he
IS now convinced that il is not only
right but that It has become a neces-
sity Many others expressed the same
sen iment Judge j. b. Killegrew, OF
Tennessee, addressed the commission
ers and at the close OF his address a
resolution was adopted endorsing ma
uonal aid and commenting it to the
favorable consideration of Ohio's sen
ators and representatives in congress.
Senator Latimer of Sou h Carolina
recently returned to the national cap
ital after a short visit TO his home.
While there he addressed the annual
convention of the sta'e Good Roads
association The meeting was very
enthusiastic and adopted resolutions
In favor OF the senator's national aid
bill The senator also addressed the
state legislature, which is now in ses-
sion and received assurances that res
olutions favoring his bill will be pass
ed by that body,
Another champion Of good roads has
come to the front in the national
house of representatives, Mr.. Lamar
of Missouri He has introduced bill
combining some of the features Of
both the Brownlow bill and the Lati-
mer bill, but providing for much
larger appropriation, namely, fifty mil
lion collars The supporters Of The
various good roads bills seem TO come
abou. equally from the two great po-
llltical parties, which leads 70 the be-
lief that the question viii not become
n party issue.

Considering the commerce Of the
United States by grand divisions, that
with Europe is of course first inorder
of magnitude both as to imports and
exports our expor to Europe grew
from ESQ millions in 1898 to ,OS7 mil
lions in 1903, while our imports from
Europe increased meantime from 392
millions 10 52S millions
To North America other than the
United States our exports Increased
from 1875 millions in 1893 to 227 mil
lions in 1903. and our imports from the
same countries increased from III
millions to 1872 millions during the
same time To South America our
exports grew from "a millions in 1898
to 46 millions in 1903. our imports
from that continent meantime increas.
ing from 103 millions to 113 millions.
To Asia our exports grew from 20
millions in 1898 to So millions in 1903
while our imports from that grand di-
vision grew from 75 millions to 139
millions in the same time To Afri-
ca our exports increased from mil
lion dollars in 1898 to 81 millions in
1903 and our imports from Africa in
creased from 7 millions to II millions.
In the commerce with Oceanica the
figures are, on their face, misleading,
ecause they do not now include the
figures with Hawaii as they did de-
cade ago. The figures on their face
show exports to Oceana as II mil
lions in 1898 and 81 millions in 1908.

UNIQUE ROAD OF SOUTHWEST
Is Owned Entirely By Phelps, Dodge
 & Company

One of the unique railroad propos- tions in the United States is the Fl Paso and Southwestern railroad, which is owned in its entirety by Phelps, Dodge X Co.,, and was originally built to afford the firm an outlet for its min ing projects. It has no bond outstand- ing upon it and capital stock of $7,- coo, 900. The road is about 800 miles in length and runs from Benson, Arizo- na, to Fl Paso, in connection with the Southern Pacific. It also runs to Nac- zari, Mexico, where Phelps, Dodge X Co. have a producing -Property, and to most of the Phelps Dodge properties in the United States and Mexico.
 The Phelps Dodge properties con- tribute 25 per cent of the total freight tonnage of the system, and that tonnage more than pays the total operation ex- penses of the property, leaving the balance, or 75 per cent. of the tonnage, as profit.
 This road was built with the profits arising from l7-cent copper when the Amalgamated Copper company "held the umbrella" few years ago. It cost about $S,OO0,O00 and is profitable proposition. Passenger rates are 6 and : cents per mile, and freight rates pro- portionately large.
 Owlng to the disinclination of the Southern Pacific to extend its Arizona lines, other Arizona copper properties have followed the example of Phelps, Dodge X Co.,, in building railroads. The Arizona Copper company built the Arizona and New Mexico railroad, 70 miles from Clifton to Southern Pacific connection at Lordsburg, which IS a well-paying property, and Senator Will liam A. Clark built the United Verde and Pacific railroad, n narrow gauge road, 2s miles, connecting Jcrone, Ari- zona, with the santa Fe, Phoenix and Prescott railroad.-Union.
