No little attention is being given to
the agitation for change in the date

who desire a change want to put the
date sometime in April rather than dur

contracted colds Inauguration day and
died from the effects. They were
Senator Bates of Tennessee and Senator
Aspiroz, the Mexican minister to the

elected in November and, under the
present custom there is wait Of four
months before they take the oath of

the machinery Of the government out of
gear, if four months do not, and the

We note this change-up to a year

they were bad; now good sprinkling
OF people in every community are inter-

Governor Douglass and delegation of

Governor Douglass and delegation of
Massachusetts, boot and shoe manufac-
turers called on President Roosevelt
and pointed out that the duty on hides
was levied primarily for the benefit of
the cattle raisers, but that it is absurd
to suppose that the price of cattle
would materially change by placing a
tariff on one of the by-products of the
beef industry, and that the Is per cent
duty on hides compels all the people to
pay high prices for boots and shoes.
They therefore urged the president to
give serious consideration to the tariff
question in his Forthcoming message
The Houston (Texas) Post says that
"Texas is the largest producer of ami
mails which furnish the hides to the
manufacturers of boots and shoes.
Since the duty was levied of hides the
making of leather has passed into the
control ola huge monopoly which, in
conjunction with the beef trust, fixes
the prices at which the cattle raisers
must sell, as we'll as the price at which
the consumers of the meat and shoes
must buy. The destruction of this duty
will not iniure the cattle raisers of
Texas.

"Show us the Iowa farmer who be-

was held in this city, and the members
generally seemed to derive so much
pleasure, both from the historic asso-

opportunity for further investigations

was pretty well decided that it will be
between October 10 and 20. The meet
ings usually last three days.
