1t appears that most of the
present day statesmen are con-
tent with the husks of states
menship.
They all would rather be a
senator of the United States
than governor Of a great state.
Yet what is the United States
senate? Merely a body of men
who vote the dictates of the great
trusts of the country. There is
Depew for instance. He is I'M
doubtedly a great man, as men
go, but does anybody believe that
he is in the United States senate
to serve the people of New York?
Does not everyone know that he
is there to serve the railroads
and other trusts of which he is a
leading member? Depew is but
one the majority of the mem
bers of the senate are much alike
him
Perhaps there is more ease in
being a United States senator
than in being governor of a great
state. The senator is 'great"
man-and he has little to do be-
yond worrying over his election
at the end Of his six year term.
But the governor of a great
state is a man who carries heavy
responsi bilities-a man who must
work hard would he serve his
people we'll. The governor is the
head of the state and the senator
is merely a councillor. Yet so
many resign the governorship to
accept the senatorship.
Isn'tit queer?

After Lingering For Several
Weeks-The Victim of
A Shooting.

Mr.. A. P. Henderson died this morn
ing at the Palestine Sanitarium after.
suffering with bad wound for more
than a month. His death had been
expected for the past two weeks, but
nonetheless when the announcements
of his death finally came it cast a gloom
over the entire community.
As will be rendered Mr.. Hender-
son was shot in this city several
weeks ago by Mr.. Hiatt.
The wound was recognized as
serious one from the start, butevery
means known to medical skill and
careful nursing was employed to save
the victim, and for the first two weeks
following the tronble Mr.. Henderson,
got along nicely, and hope was enter
tanned for his recovery. Later on,
however, turn came in the case, and
his life was soon despaired of. Mr..
Henderson had host of friends here,
who are deeply grieyed over his death.
Mr.. Henderson, besides being popu-
lar in a social way, was prominent in

with the firm of Hamilton & Hender-
son.
He is survived by large circle ef

ANDERSON COUNTN
CROP rs GUO(
Mr.. L. Taussig is Here and Makes
a Flattering Offer for Another
Crop of Our Tobacco.

Anderson county tobacco has made
good. Mr.. L. Taussig of the big to-
bacco firm of Taussig & Co. of Chicago
is in the city, and was the special
guest of the executive committee of
the Board of Trade in the board rooms
last evening.
MIR. Taussig came here to personally
inspect the tobacco now being packed
in his firms packing house in this
city, and he is very favorably Impress
ed with the tobacco on hand.
He came before the committee last
night with what appears to be a good
proposition for the tobacco growers.
1t is this: The firm of Taussig & Co.
offer to advance 5000 per acre on
land set to tobacco in this county, and
planted and cultivated under the sup
ervision of U. s. Expert Hinson and
General Manager McFarlsne of the
Tsussig & Co. interests in Texas, and
further agree to pay forty cents a
pound for the tobacco after it has been
grown. This refers to wrapper to-
bacco grown under shade, such as that
grown by Mr.. IL. Dietz the past season,
and which tobacco has been respon-
sible for the above offer. The Chicago
firm are willing to make the above sd-
vance on about twenty-five acres in
this county.
1t is the purpose of the tobacco firm
to maintain their packing house here
for another season.

Few observing men, who by reason

Sometimes the finale Of the play comes

the advent of new life of which all

grace and tears. 1t will not be denied
its logical conclusion. Whether 1t ends
as did the case Of Mabel Schofield
with body in the river, or as In the
Crofford case with mixture Of muir

tragedy, shameful tragedy.
Disgrace is penalty of carelessness,
as we'll as of criminals. The parents of
the young girls who are hanging about
postoffice Hobbies in the winter and
wandering without restraint in summer
belong to both classes, fool and GRIM

who fail to do their duty Where does
the mother of the silly little fool who
stays on the streets until after mid

does the father of the young man

legitimate business in the city has

LO0KER.ON IN IOWA I

DAYTON, April 1S.-A crowd of trav-
cling men in the hotel were discussing
the hard times in Iowa. One speaker
explained that in northern Iowa there
had been two poor years for farmers,
therefore, the crop Of last year even if
it was a good one, could not in one
wear make up the loss to the trade.
Another man who sells the grocery
trade said that was not full explana-
ton. Some of his territory was in To-
calities where the crops had been good
for the past three years, and yet trade
was slow. The merchants were not
selling the goods they were on the
same sized stock ten years ago. Trade
had settled down to one good day in
the week, and that was Saturday. 9th
err days they barely made expenses
And then travelling man whose ter
ritory covers several western states,
remarked, II can tell you why my trade
is dull in Iowa. It's this, you've got
too many small towns in Iowa, and
too many men in business of all kinds
The railroads Of your state cover the
territory till new towns have sprung
up everywhere. Take the grain bust
ness as an illustration. The number
of bushels of grain received in Iowa is
probably no more iii 1906 than in 1896.
But there are three times as many men
and three times as many elevators as
ten years ago, used in the grain bust
ness. This is true of lumber yards,
blacksmith shops, harness shops and
all kinds of stores. The total number
of patrons for these business men is
but little larger than in 1896. And
with the severe competition this condi-
ton of affairs has brought about, the
result is the profits of each kind of
business is divided by three. The Goa!
business is another illustration. Every
new town has one or more coal deal
ers. And while the total consumption
of coal in year in Iowa is more than
in 1896, yet the number of men now
engaged in selling coal is all out of
proportion to the increased demand
during the past ten years. The con-
sumner of all kinds OF necessities uses
on an average about the same amount
one year as another, therefore when

.ors. you decrease the profits. /. e..

sections OF the world from which 1t
now draws its imports and to which 1t
sends 1t exports, the classes OF articles
or decreasing. and the classes of
products which 1t is supplying to var

Commerce between Mexico and the
Unitde States has grown in recent

ture. mining. transportation and man

Carelessness and concealment are
common in epidemics. There are two
reasons for it. First, the contempt OF
the medical profession for the medical

of interference by the public between
the physician and his case and second
the confidential relation that usually
exists between the family physician
and his patients.
In infectious diseases the physician
too often listens to the pleadings OF

forgets his public duty in his private

To hide case of meningitis in the city
is as easy until the death certificate is

But an infectious disease is no long

tendency to hold the physician to a
