Editor Times-Republican:
Enclosed find clipping from the Ack-
ley World which says:
"a special correspondent to am even
ing Iowa daily, in a letter written
from Ackley under date of the 10th,
consumes nearly column of space
presumably valuable in endeavor-
ing TO correct an impression that he
assumes has been made, that the
leading citizens of the community
favor immediate action ON the rail-
road rate proposition that is at pres
ent before congress-but which will
be deader than door nail after March
4th. 1t matters not how many intlu-
entail citizens signed the petition
sent the evening publication by it's
special correspondent who might
have signed himself Daniel Filler, and
disregarded the further fact that
remedial legislation is desirable. and
necessary, The World places itself
on record as being opposed to confer
ring an arbitrary power on a commits
sion of seven men who practically
would control the railroads of the en-
tire country. We are opposed to CEN
tralizaton of anything, be that CEN
u dlIAlllOll ullc SoaSlHlllSHl, WI POlet
tions or a class of individuals
l wish to state that have circulated
two petitions both of which Endorsed
President Roosevelt's position with
reference to the necessity of giving
increased power to the interstate COM
merce commission. / commenced to
secure signatures in the court house at
Eldora. and asked a few of Eldora's
prominent business men to sign their
names to the petition, which they did;
then on my home l secured every far
mer's name on either side of the lane
whom 1 asked. Then l attended a pub
lie sale and all whom I asked to sign
seemed willing and anxious to do so.
If I remember right this petition had
over 100 signatures. Then l mailed pc
tition to our congressman, Mr.. Bird
sail.
The other petition asked for the sem
ators and congressman of Iowa to give
the Quarles-Cooper bill their support.
This was largely signed by farmers in
the vicinity of Abbott, also by some of
Ackley's best business men. and only
one man refused to affix his signature,
and he was an Ackley man. His real
son was that the commerce commits
sion now had the power to fix freight
rates, and that petitions never done
any good anyway. l believe that the
editor of the World thinks more of his
free transportation ON the railroad
than he does of the best interests of
the large majority of his subscribers,
but let that be as it nay-I believe
that the sentiment of 95 per cent of the
IN, vri11itU iS in favor of
legislation that will give the interstate
commerce commission power to fix or
name rate, wherever they find that
the railroad company are charging I'M

is COFFEE THE NATIONAL BEVERAGE?

Did it cost you dollar to drink cof-
fee last year? The department of
commerce and labor says it did. AT
any rate more than ~ billion pounds
of coffee valued at So million dollars,
came into the United States last year,
practically all for the use of the people
of the United States. OF this amount
the coffee consumers of the country
about dollars worth to every inhabi-
tant. The quantity of coffee entering
the worlds markets during last year,
was, in round terms, $3.50 million
pounds, or barely double the quantity
brought into the United States alone
during the calendar year of 1904. 1t may
therefore be said, in general terms,
that the United States consumes prac-
tically one-half of the coffee entering
the worlds markets, since our importa-
tons of coffee in 1904 amounted to
practically one-half of the coffee eX-
ported Dy an Tue Gomez producing
countries of the world, and more than
"a per cent of that importation was
retained in the United States, for con-
sumption by her people. We drink
more than twice as much of this morn
ing beverage than does Germany, more
than three times as much as France,
nearly ten times as much as Austro-
Hungary, more than twenty times more
than Russia, Italy or Great Britain.
Coffee consumption in the United
States has increased rapidly during re-
cent years. The importations in the
calendar year 1904, as already indi-
Gated, were 1,117 million pounds, and
were larger than those of any earlier
year, and the per capita consumption
was also larger than that of any earlier
year.
The bureau of statistics in its state
ments upon this subject shows the
quantity of coffee imported, exported,
and the consumption per capita in each
of the decennial years from 1880 to
1850, and annually from 1850 to 1904.
Summarizing this table it may be said
that the consumption of coffee in the
United States was, in 1880, less than
three pounds per capita; in 1850, So
pounds per capita; in 1860, SIS pounds
c-ix
capita; in 1880, SO pounds per capita,
and in 1890, rs pounds per capita.
In 1897 the consumption for the first
time exceeded ten pounds per capita,
the figure being, for that year 1912
pounds per capita; in 1898, 11.6s pounds
per capita; in 1902, 1882 pounds per
capita, and in 1904, 1854 pounds per
capita.

Strong efforts are now being made to
