boys and girls who are marching on

Young men, young women! Don't
fool yourselves with the belief that
you can throw away riches and still
have them. Health. character, educa-
ton, worthy aspirations-these are
things to be coveted. They are not to
be found on the street corners or In
the loafing places. This is very prac-
tical age. The business men, the In
fuential men and women of the goth
century are drawing the lines closer
and clearer each year which demarcate
the acceptable and the unfit applicant
for employment. Success depends more
and more, as the years go by, upon
moral character, sobriety, industry and
personal fitness for a given task.

A Farmer Elevator.
Manson Journal

LMAubOU
Grain men say there is agitation In
grain circles again and that the
farmers are talking Of putting up an
elevator on their own hook, being
dissatisfied with the prices in Man
son. The journal agitated this ques-
ton last year. and believed at the time
that 1t was good thing. About the
only thing the paper got out of 1t
was to secure the Ill will OF all the
grain buyers in the town. The farm
er's movement ended in talk, because
the grain on hand was soon sold and
there would be no more demand until
another crop was raised.
Here we are again with the same
old story only in worse form. While
the farmers Of this community were
talking the farmers of Palmer have
got together and formed an elevator
company and are now on the market
for grain. The price paid for oats the
past week at Palmer has been rs cents.
The Manson buyers paid "a, although
The companies gave them orders to only
pay %. Had Ii not been for the agita-
ton Of the Palmer Farmers Elevator
Company, that liz the price that would
have been paid in Manson. We do not
like to see farmers compelled to go
into business in order to get justice
and fair price for their product, for
the reason it generally leads up &c
something else. After grain would
come csal and then lumber and the
next you know a farmers store, all OF
which would be a detrinent to the gen.
eral business OF the town. While Man
son has been taking in reasonable
| amount of grain, more perhaps than
Palmer or any of the small towns
around, it should take in four times as
much for the very reason Manson Is
| the trading point Of four times as
many farmers. They would naturally
come here If everything was equally
favorable.
another thing that Is more dis
couraEing than anything else is the
merchants Of Manson are spending
hundreds of dollars in advertising
and trying to bring trade to the town
| II our market was equally as good as
the smaller towns they would tnen
have the advantage of bringing trade.
hnt If the farmers has first got TO
take his grain to some other town and
then come to Manson to trade there IL
roins to be a big loss Of business to
the Manson merchants. 1t benooves
the grain companies at Manson to meet
this competition at Palmer and prinS
the business to Manson.
SO far as the agents of the com
panies at Manson are concerned they
are anxious to meet this competition
and are constantly urging their nrne
to raise the price and meet all COM
petttion. II they have the monopols

HONEST COMPROMISE.

And still it may be frankly admitted
that In the Roosevelt lexicon appear
the words compromise" and "expe-
diency." Expediency is good word
and compromise is a sheet ahchor IN
nopular government. Men VINO repu-
dia+e the legitimate use Of either term
are wont to flock in exclusiveness'
Aout the banners of bigotry In the face
Of public emergency and wash their
hands Of real responsibility NO man
knows as much as many men. No
man has moral monopoly. Expedlen-
ev in it's better meaning provides for
the best results attainable under given
Conditions. Honorable compromise is
a factor Indispensable to such ends.
But in the bright lexicon OF character
and courage compromise never MEANS a..a
a surrender Of manhood or vital prin-
chile and expediency never sacrifices
public obligation or personal honor to
selfish ends.

SYMPATHY. FOR CRIMINALS.


\ The Iowa City Republican is worried
TO death over the sympathy which 1t
alleges Is being wasted by several
newspapers" on Frank Shercliffe. the
dianpond robber, released not long ago
from the penitentiary at the expiration
OF his sentence for robbery. The Re-
publican says this sympathy origin
ates from the fact that Shercliffe Is
ready. to testify that somebody else had
q hand in the robbery. "Shercliffe is
= hardened criminal and no doubt de-
serves all he got. continues the Re
publican. 'The longer the terms of
such fellows, when convicted, the bet
ter for honest people. Prisons are made
Tor these men, and while they keep UP
J. their careers of crime the prisons
should not lack inmates"
The Republican is either extremely
thorough in Its exchange work or reas-
,onably coarse in its line work" 1f

for s5hercliffe or regret that he was

expressions seem to have escaped the

In the last ten years there has been
marked shortening Of the period Tor
preparing steers for the beef market.
This is shown In the average ages OF
cattle on the farms and ranges. This
average W as213 years in 1890. while
on June /. 1900. the average was only
1863 years, indicating that nearly SIX
months had been cut from the matur-
Ing and fattening age Of the steers. But
while the age OF the steer has been
decreased, the improved breeding and
the improved methods OF feeding have
combined to put him on the market IN
q condition representing more ana bet
ter meat than his older prototype did
ten years ago.
Taking the country at large. Texas
leads the states and territories in the
value of its NEST cattle, placed by the
census department at $1sS,22s,904. Sec
ond in order Is Iowa with $142,B1S,902
worth Of neat cattle, and Kansas third
with a valuation OF 3117.e4o,s01. Ne
braska, Illinois, and Missouri are next
in order but under the $100,000,000 for
each.
In some Of these figures the value Of
the blooded cattle introduced into the
state is shown in marked manner.
For instance. Iowa has only 5,3s763o
neat cattle, representing Its $142.J1s.-
902 valuation, while Texas $165.22S,S04
worth of cattle number 9,42s,l9e head.
Thus with nearly twice az many cattle
as Iowa has, tn eTexas valuation is
only 14.5 per cent more. The valua-
ton is only 14.5 per cent more. The
valuation on each head in Texas Is
$17.31. while Iowa cattle were averaged
at 32e.55, or 53.4 per cent higher.

TyE MEAT TRUST INVESTIGATION.

The investigation into the methods
and exactions of the beef combine are
progressing satisfactorily, apparently
nothing remaining to be done at this
time save the examination Of the pack
ers and their employees under oath for
the purpose of bringing out matters
that otherwise have not been reached,
owing to the fact that the agents of the
bureau of corporations have had to
work thru channels outside Of the reg
ular packing circles. This, of course,
was owing to the natural aversion OF
persons under investigation to place
Injurious data or discriminating evil
dence in the way of the investigators.
The law officers of the government
have decided that Mr.. Garfield has the
power under the act of congress cre-
ating the office which he fills, to en-

Though the report of this investiga-
ton has been very carefully guarded
and nothing but intimations of prob
able recommendations have leaked out
it is claimed that the examination of
the packers under oath by the COM
missioner of corporations will COM
plete a case sufficiently strong to
warrant the Furnishing Of the packers
for contempt of court for violation Of
the injunction issued against them by
the federal court, prohibiting them
from entering into conspiracy to re-
strain. interstate commerce.
