mention that in many places we have
the necessary kind of stone and cheap
fuel needed to manufa cture cement.
True. every word of it. And the writ
er was wise" along these lines, till an
Iowa Falls man knocked him out. 1t
seems there is in Iowa Falls just the
kind of stone needed to make the best
of cement. Fuel can be had at reason
able rates. Interested capitalists saw
an opening to add an industry to Iowa
Falls and incidentally make a little
money for themselves; so Il sample of
the rock was sent to a chemist and
armed with the results he found these
would-be cement manufacturers pro-
ceeded to write manufacturer of ce-
ment to get him interested and form a
company to make Portland cement In
Iowa Falls. His reply settled the ce-
ment business for a while. He told
them plainly cement cannot be manu-
featured in Iowa for this reason: The
cost of manufacture Is more than the
present selling prices. 1t seems that
somewhere on the big lakes they are
dredging the bottom of the lake and
bringing up a soft rock and also a
quality of clay necessary as mixture
and to prepare this ready made combi-
nation is so little expense they can
undersell all competitors Furthermore,
out in Kansas somewhere, the same
mixture of soft rock and suitable clay
is easily obtained and the low priced
crude petroleum, used as fuel, enables
them to also undersell many cement
manufacturers in different parts of the
country.

concerning the business of that thirty
ing burg which gives the reader a,
idea where some of our yearly in
creasing wealth comes from, and in
cidentally why Iowa farms are WORT
$50 to 500 an acre. From the banl
records it is shown that for min,
months in a year, on an average, $40
a day is paid out for livestock shippe
from this one station. In addition t.
this the creamery located there aver,
ages also 500 day the year rounf

the number Of dollars paid out for thu

then multiply this by 1900, at leasl
that number of Iowa towns BUYING
sometimes more and sometimes less OF
these soil products, we begin to realize
out Of Iowa traffic, and also why the
owner of an Iowa farm is generally
able, at the age of 80, to move to town
and live the rest of his days as 'tir-
ed farmer"
This same Iowa farmer has ideas OF
his own. One thing he seriously OBJ
jects to, is for the newspapers to CLAIM
such bumper crops for Iowa. ONLY
today this scribe was told that these
reports knock prices down. If oats
were reported as light crop, rust and
chinch bugs galore, weighing out &c
pounds to the bushel, "oats we worth

sentiment reminds one of the story OF

THE Jews AND MIR. WlTTe.

Mr.. Whites invitation to delegation
OF Jews to visit him at Portsmouth
and Russia's anxiety to negotiate a
heavy loan gave credence. to reports
that Jewish financiers and banking
houses would refuse any loan except
upon conditions making concessions to
Jews in Russia. In effect that Russia
would get nothing from the rich Jews
until their oppressed brethren in Rus
STA were granted civil rights.
The New York Tribune says:
The meeting between the deputation
and Mr.. Witte was, in fact, the result
OF request on the part of the presi-
dent of the organization which sent the
great KishinefY petition to the car.
and, while the Russian liplomatist may
have had the fact in mind that some
day he might want favor from the
Jews when he granted the request for
meeting, the deputation did not go to
Portsmouth to barter money for rights
or to buy justice. That nothing oc-
Cured at the meeting to give it finan-
cial form is made clear by Mr.. Schiff,
who said: Not word passed be-
tween Mr.. White and ourselves regard

The Tribune continues:
In an editorial in The Tribune few

tween the representative Jews and the

owed, an open letter to Mr.. Witte was
quoted in which the writer asks the

A MATTER OF CONVICTION.
rGlidden Graphic,

lSdlluueT SITdpulC.
There is a sincere belief among
many republicans that there ought to
be no knocking in Iowa against Shaw's
presidential aspirations. We do not
agree with this view. The man who
believes Shaw's incumbency of the
presidential office would not be as
we'll for the people as the admins
tration of some other man is making
cowardly and unmanly compromise
if he does not say so. Place OF resi-
dence should be no bar to full and
fair statement OF honest convictions.
State pride is all right and commend
able when other things are equal. But
we are unable to discern the merit Of
the philosophy which would infiict up
on the whole country man In the
chief executive office whose ideals are
as far from what we believe to be for
the best and highest interests of the
country-Roosevelt ideals as the
equator is from the poles merely for
favorite son or state pride reasons. 1T
looks too much like an Esau-Jacob
transaction to us. We have heard
dozens of republicans say that as be-
tween Shaw and Folk they should
vote for the latter for president. We
have every reason for believing that
this Is view entertained by enough
republicans to insure Shaws defeat in
the event Of a contest with such
man. AZ republican VINO believes in
republican principles and who desires
to see the party an Instrument for pro-
noting good and just laws we are
bound to state our convictions. If we
believed Shaw was the best--or as
gooda man for the place, as matter
of state pride We should like to see
him win. But such is not our belief.
