TROUBLE m THE RESERVATION.

Following the negative action OF
Davis county republicans who refused
to give their votes to leader whose
published platform was opposition to
every reform suggested by progressive
republicans, comes news from Taylor
county that indicates active revolt in
the heart of the reservation. Taylor,
which lies between Page-Congress-
man Hepburn's home county-and
Ringgold, whence halls A. 1. Smith,
who is opposing Mr.. Hepburns sue
cession, is it would appear in open
revolt against Burlington domination
of the Eighth district and the other
issues that incidentally make up the
sum .of standpatism in the reserva-
ton, Where Mr.. Blythe is grand Inco-
honee. In Taylor the republicans are
forming themselves into the Com
mon Peoples Republican League" un-
der the leadership Of such men as
Judge E. w. Miller Of whom Mr.. JOS

districts, are welcoming the following
pledge with their signatures:

Paul S. Haddock, by virtue of his Of
flee as chairman of the county republic
can committee, shall be chairman of
the county organization of the said
league, and we hereby adopt the fol-
lowing principles and pledge ourselves
to the attainment of the following
ends:
First-To destroy the political power
of the machine by which the corpora
lions and their representatives perpet-
uate themselves in the control of the
public offices OF the county, district,
state, and nation thru which the laws
are made, construed and executed
Second-To destroy the machine

lobby maintained there by selfish cor
to honest legislation.
Fourth-To Danish by law the free
pass and gratuitous mileage books as
the chief instrument Of the machine for
the corruption of public officials ah''
the influencing of citizens and political
delegates.
F'ifth--To destroy the corporation
caucus and restore to the whole peo-
pie the power of selecting their candl-
dates for United States senator's, con-
gressmen and all state, district, county
and township officers by means of Il
state primary law based on the Aus
tralian ballot system.
Sixth-To secure the honest and
thorough revision of the interstate
commerce law as recommended by
President Roosevelt.
Seventh-To secure the reformation
and improvement OF the corporation
laws of the states and nation, 10 the
end that corporations shall serve all
purposes of honest enterprise, nut
cease to be the instrument of monopoly
graft, and oppression.
Tighth-To oppose and endeavor TO
break down by law monopolies and
harmful corporate combinations d
every sort, which serve to prevent tins
fair and equitable distribution OF
wealth among those who are creating ~
by honest industry, and to support the
repeal or reformation Of all laws which
foster the interest of such monopolles
at the expense Of independent industry
and the public welfare.
Ninth-To support and endeavor to
build up in Iowa every legitimate bus
mess and industry which our reseourc-
es will sustain free from the domina-
ton of outside capital and manipula-
ton, to the end that Iowa and her peo-
pie shall always be self-supportihg'
prosperous. intelligent. and free.
Davis county's abnormal lethargy
and the alert activity OF Taylor are
straws that indicate pretty accurately
that the winds in the reservation are
blowing away from corporation man
agement of the republican party N
southern Iowa. The people are ready
to claim their own. Whom the go1s
would destroy they make mad enough
to oppose rate revision, the state prim-
ary and popular rights in general IN

privileges. The cataclysm seems to re

Four CENT FEEDERS OR 80 CENT CORN

fUUh ZEN feEUEn0 VI OU OGNI OVnN
! Some weeks ago the Times-Republi-
can called attention to the high prices
smaller farmers and renters spurred
i on by the certainty of huge corn
crop would invest too heavily in this
class of cattle This it appears, from
the statement of a prominent banker
is precisely what is going on. He re-
ports flood Of applications for loans
to buy cattle, many of which he re-
fuses and a majority of which he at
tempts to discourage. Too many OF
these applications come from men
carried away by Che sight Of big
crop. without sufficient experience in
feeding to figure carefully and finan-
cially unable to bear A heavy loss with
out serious consequences. To the old
cattle. feeder the banker is ready to
! loan in reasonable sums, but he fore
sees loss to the smaller fry who are
anxious to pay eXorbitant prices for 4
carload of feeders in which to sink the
certain profits of IA liberal corn yield
that is starting on the market at d
fairly remunerative price. Cattle
feeding is larges a speculative oper
alton and the banker IS strongly advis-
ing his weaker patrons 1iot to speculate
| this season. He has had previous eX-
perience in other big crop seasons.
The older feeders are shying off at
the present prices for feeders. Except
! in instances where the feeder raised
his own cattle not many of
the men who make, cattle feeding q
business shave full feed lots. The past
two or three years have been better
seasons to sell corn than to feed 1t to
cattle Most Of those who fed lost
money that they might have made by
selling their crop. Consequently the
demand for feeders at high prices
| comes from the farmers who feed only
occasionally. The steady feeder is
holding off secure in his knowledge
that the price must go down if he re-
fuses to buy and If prices hold he still
has theNcorn, something he wouldn't
have if he fed it into Az cent feeders
to sell finished at about the same price
he paid.
Wallace's Farmer puts it plainly
when it says: 1.-THE man who has
grown, corn for the past two or three
years has had the long end Of the
doubletree. Inasmuch as the corn CROP
is a little better than the average in
| the west. and there Is good export
demand as well as good demand
from manufacturers Of whisky, glucose
starch, and other by-products. the
corn grower is likely to be in luck
this year, and secure a price that will
bring him good round profit. In a
year like this there is good money
| in growing corn at 80 cents, Delivers
| from the field to the crib. In fact, SO
cents from the. field is about as good
as 40 cents from the crib next May"

Lennox Furnace Co.,
City.
Gentlemen:
Your Torrid Zone Steel Furnace, In
stalled in my store nine years ago,
has heated our building to our en-
tire satisfaction, and during that
tirne II has cost US $12 for repairs.
When we built forty feet extern.
sion to our building five years ago,
we had much more space than the
rated capacity Of the furnace, and
found that we had to crowd It to
heat the building by using coke
which is considered tho hardest
fuel on a furnace, and were able to
keep our store comfortably warm.
This summer we accepted the advice
Of the manufacturers and put in a
larger size, but when the old ono was
removed, it was apparently in as
good condition after nine years Of
service. as on the day it was install
cd, notwithstanding the crowding
and over heating we had given IL.
We will unhesitatingIy indorse
tho Steel Furnace after our exper-
fence with the Lennox Torrid Zone.

While a good deal is said these days

railway promotion or operation is ell

anarchist. All great combinations of
capital are just as much entitled to q
square deal as the huunblest member

the duty of citizenship to insist upon

the exception Of firemen. engineer and
the watchman, the remainder OF the
crew were asleep. The explosion OF the
starboard boilers blew out the entire
side OF the boat and awakened the
sleeping members OF the crew. The
noise was heard for three miles. Sur
vivors grabbed what clothing they
could find and plunged into the icy wa
ters of the Ohio In the effort TO escape.
The night was bitter cold. the ther-
mometer lowering about zero and those
who escaped were nearly frozen before
they could be given shelter.
