Rockwell and then fight among them-
selves about 1t later on. No, they were
interested in getting what their grain
and produce were worth, and the mer-
chants of Pocahontas. were just as
much interested in having them get the
full worth OF their grain stuff.
AS one of the best farmers In Frank
lin county expressed it the other day,
"the farmer can always market his
grain to good advantage to an indeper-
dent house, but the line houses are the
ones who are making all the trouble,
and attempting to run the single In
dependent buyers out of business UNI
less they hold the price OF grain down
to a price dictated by the line house.
That is it exactly, and when the farm
ers and business men get together on
this proposition and also work for
equitable freight rates and decent train
service in getting their stock to mag
ket all will be well.
QUICKSILVER AND DUCKS BACK.

EMPLOYEES of the Northwestern, so
1T is reported, are positively for
hidden to work long hours without
proper rest. Perhaps this order Is
in the same class with the one for
bidding flying switches and then
constructing the switches In such
way that cars can not be cut out
without making q flying switch. The
next wreck that occurs caused by all

been on duty eighteen or twenty hours.
will likely witness the company shift
the responsibility to the shoulders OF
the operator, by charging him with VI
olating the rules in working overtime.
And he knows that If he had quit with
out being relieved, he would have been
hunting job next day. Verify 1T is
harder to fasten responsibility on the
shoulders of railroad company than
quicksilver on the back of a duck.
REASONS.
INDEPENDENCE Bulletin-J ournal.l
The time was when Major Rathbun
published a small four page paper at
Marion, for which he charged 50 per
year. Now he issues two larger papers
each week and give both editions to
his subscribers for S1.50. II asked why
he does this, he would undoubtedly
answer that conditions have changed.
And that's just the reason why steel
rails and transportation ought to sell
a great deal cheaper than they did
forty years ago. Improved methods,
greatly reduced rates of interest, and
many other facts have combined to
lower the cost of production, and the
people have the right to demand the
benefit of them. The time was when
tho farmer figured that he could not
raise wheat at a profit for less than
81 per bushel-now that is considered
bonanza price. Major Rathbun Is I'M
doubtedly doing job printing for less
half what he did when he first be-
gan the business, yet he probably is
not losing money on it.
BAD WOMEN OF DIES MONIES.
[Sioux City Journal
Des Moines has determined ITO seq
regate its bad women. and what to do
with them is the question. Coming
to a public Issue, no quarter OF the
town Is willing to say it wants them.
Yet IL they were not wanted they
would not be there. Where are they
to go, and yet be where they can be
found when wanted? They have
found Cherry street accommodating.
but now they find Cherry street pro-
testing. BY New Years day, the Or
der is. they must get out of Cherry
street, especially that part nearest
Lincoln school. The bad men agree
that the bad women must not be near
Lincoln school. Yet the bad women
are called women of the town How
about East Court avenue? 1t is not
residence avenue. There Is no school
