Why NOT AN OLD HOME WEEK.

There Is growing custom in eastern
states of holding annually an "Old
Home Week. when the former resi-
dents Of the cities and towns and con-
figuous rural districts come back
home" to renew old ties and meet old
friends. In many parts of the east this
week of homecoming has become a
regular institution, as fixed as the
county fair or the old settlers yearly
meeting. Once properly inaugurated it
grows of its own strength, and year by
year the crowd OF homecomers grows.
until "Old Home Week" becomes the
event Of the year, looked forward to by
the homestayers and the scattered
hosts OF homecomers. Nearly every
family has it's guests. There are re-
ceptions and exercises where old ac-
Quaintance is called to mird and the
days of aud lang syne recalled.
Marshalltown and Marshall county
has sent thousands of their population
1utO the west anu NORTHWEST. Inelr
eons and daughters are scattered
everywhere in thousand cities over
dozens of states. They all want to
come back home to see the old folks and
the old familiar faces Of the friends and
neighbors OF the earlier time Why not
arrange for an annual homecoming, a
week of reception and visitation where
In each may come to meetjthe other and
revisit the old home?
1t should be easy to organize an ''old
home week" committee to arrange
dates and programs and prepare cir
cular letter to be sent to all who have
been residents and have moved out of
/ The county. This would be supplements
ed by the urging of personal letters of
invitation between relatives and
friends. There is an untold fund OF sat
isfaction and pleasure in an old home
week. Why does not someone make a
start toward an organization?

recent agitation for tariff revision in
Iowa has been that 1t was carrying
the republicanism of the state out Of
line with republication elsewhere.
Mr.. Blythe and his supporters profess
ed to be chagrined over this peculiar
and questionable attitude of Iowa re-
publicanism They propose to restore
Iowa to good standing in the party
and make it's opinions SO much like all
the rest that it would have no shade or
character of it's own. And the first
thing Mr.. Blythe does is to appear as
one of the minority in the party council
fighting with Mr.. Dalzell of Pittsburg,
for the most extreme and uncompro-
missing expression OK the protective
policy.
We have other states to thank that
the great policy of reciprocity. the
common sense business policy to which
all modern notions are inevitably tend
ing, is preserved as u distinctive repub-
lican doctrine. The influence of Iowa
was cast against it, In our Judgment
the state was placed in an illogical and
unnatural position and its interests and
sentiments misrepresented.

NO SCRUBS m IOWA.

Calling attention to sale OF Short
lhorn cattle last week where the aver
age price per head was Sits the Cedar
Rapids Republican comments thus:
Yet the majority of farmers continue
TO raise cattle which sell for SIC when
one year old"
Now Is this were true 1t would in
dictate bad state of affairs in Iowa
but 1t isn't true 1t is simply a case
where ignorance of conditions leads to
wrong conclusion. Yearling steers In
Iowa are selling at from $25 to ss5 per
head and the average price of an aver
age heifer approximates $40. These
are the figures given by one of the
most prominent stockmen in the state
The farmers in Iowa are not raising the
kind of cattle that sell for s12 when one
year old.
The impression given by the
thoughtless comment referred to above
is unjust to the cattle raisers of the
state ana carries ABROAD an impress
sion utterly erroneous. The truth is
Iowa is famous for its excellent cattle.
There is scarcely scrub born in the
state. Any one who has driven over
the Iowa highways has not failed to
notice the sleek. white faced, Angus and
Shorthorn cattle that feed on the blue
grass pastures. Speaking by and
large the T.-R. believes there is no.

Let us get the figures approximately

that Iowa farmers are breeding scrub

WAR AND COMMERCE.

Where war once destroyed commerce
now commercial interests control war.
The eastern war seems to have given
but slight check to the industries
and commerce Of the world. Instead
of destroying their own and hanging
the commerce Of neighboring nations,
as was once the custom of warning ma
lions, 1t has come to pass that COM
merce only permits such wars to be
carried on as are conducted without
serious disturbance to neutral peoples.
Even those actually engaged seem to
maintain considerable equabiuty of
industrial and trade activity.
An interesting picture Of conditions
in Japan is afforded by a communica-
ton from the Japanese manager of the

tion, MhIch appears In the May number

that commercial and financial condi-
tions have not as yet been seriously

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The republican national platform
contains no surprises or departures
from the established policies of the
party and is q we'll written presen-
tation of the party's claim to popular
support. The chief feature of interest
is the treatment of the tariff question,
and there Isl nothing unusual in this. 1t
is much more satisfactory resolution
than the one recently adopted by the
reactionary state convention of Iowa,
for ii distinctly recognizes the necess-
ity of the tariff changes from time to
time. 1t does not say that such chan
ges are required now for party mana

republicans of liberal views upon the
tariff because 1t distinctly recognizes
the propriety of their attitude. When
it declares that the schedules must be
from time to time. revised in the pub
lie interest it recognizes the propriety
of advocating such revision. 1t will be
in order for any republican, after the
election is over to take up the advocacy
of tariff revision and to urge that the
conditions under which the platform
contemplages revision exists. No re-
publican can be discredited for holding
that the time for revision has come.
The republicans of Iowa have to con-
slider that the influence of this state

liberalizinE movement and for the
more extreme expression, Mr.. Blythe
having won decisive victory in the
recent state convention, became the
Iowa member of the committee on res
olutions ard as such is reported to have
opposed even the carefully worded
endorsement which is given to the
policy of reciprocity. He was out
