business house in the main part
of the city stands on a hillside,
and shows one more story on
the lower than on the upper
side of the hill, and in many ca
ses, the basement will be one
story on the lower side and two
stories on the upper, and the
basement extends clear out un-
der the sidewalks. The tallest
building we know of here is the
N. Y. Life, which is, we think,
ten stories, with a two story
"dog-house" on top; but there
is talk of erecting a fourteen
story office building on the cor
ner of 10th and Grand.
The streets are, as a rule,
quite narrow, varying in width
from 60 to Is feet, and are not
regular in width, perhaps 40 or
so feet in places and not more
than 30 in others. Seventh ST.,
from Main to Delaware is only
16 feet between curbs.
The street car system is some
thing of a wonder. When we
are ready to start for home in
the evening and have to wait a
half hour for a car, we wonder
what has become of all the cars
that are supposed to runon our
line, and when we make good
connections, we wonder how it
happened. Half the people run
to catch the cars, and the other
half run to keep the cars from
catching them, but the chances
are in favor of the cars, and if
you escape the car, you can bet
your last dollar that you will
either be run down by an auto
mobile, or telescoped by a BIZ
cycle on the dent corner.
There are several large de-
partment stores here, among
the largest of which may be
mentioned Jones, Emery-Ball-
Thaylor & Co., George Peck,
and John Taylor. All these are
mammouth establishments, but
just excuse us from going to
one of them to buy 65 cents
worth of 10 cents purchases, it
is a good half days job.
Well, perhaps some one would
like to know what we are doing.
We are in the general office of
the Brotherhood of Railway
Car Men of America. We have
a suit of rooms on the 5th floor
of the Hall building, Cor. 9th
and Walnut. We have an office
force of 6 persons, and do the
work for a membership of TO-
600, scattered over the United
States, Canada, and Mexico.
Our bill for postage alone is
$4,000 per month; expressage
SIP to 500 per month, and tele-
graphing SIS to SIS per month.
Our total expenditures, outside
insurance department amounts
to about 100000 per month.
Our next biennial convention
will be held in Buffalo, N. Y,
on September 18th next, and
we are now in the midst of ar
ranging for the same.
My, how would have enjoy
ed attending that A O. U. w.
pic mic on the 18th, and how !
would love to attend the Cha
tauqua in the Valley, but it is
out of the question.
We have had some very hot,
dry weather, but a good rain or
two, a week ago, has put vege-
tation in fine shape. Strawber-
ries are gone, they sold here as
five cents per box. Raspberries
are now on the market at ten
cents per box. We have a fine

M Elecr,0N 4 GReAr RELlEF.

For the FIRST time in sixty years the
first Tuesday after the first Monday
In November in Iowa will pass with
out a state election being held. The
biennial election amendment is re-
sponeible. How do we like it?
Those of us who are busy men and
not professional politicians must con-
fess that change seems pleasing. Had
the old custom prevailed we would
have been drawn dnto politics early
last spring at the time of the county
conventions and all summer long a
spirited campaign would have been in
progress. Today thousands Of us
would have been taken from OUT bust
ness to electioneer and "get out the
vote" Hundreds of thousands of
dollars Of our money would have been
spent for election expenses, while, as
it is, we go about our business unin-
terupted. We cam sit back in our chairs
tomorrow morning and leisurely read
how the election came out In New
York, Ohio, Philadelphia on any OF
those foreign countries. A great load
had been Lifted from our shoulders be-
cause we have an honest and efficient
administration at Des Moines. But
suppose corrupt and immoral officials
We're in powers Well that would he
different. Next year would seem a
long way off.

MR. HEARsI,s APR PUPILS.

Except in the minor matters of eating
eggs from the shell and giving monkey
dinners and the more important prac-
tice of modernized piracy, we do things
better west than east. When we hold
an election in Iowa there is enough do
ing to win notice at Donnybrook. Our
campaigns are a continuous battle, for
the Iowan is born fighter. Some
times in the factional strife of parties
things are done under the domination
of special interests and the direction
Of the interested individuals who rep
resent these interests that are outside
the rules Of honorable political war
fare, but a campaign like the one clos
ed today in New York City would be
an impossibility even in Iowa's largest
city, which has made it's elections a
statewide reproach.
If there exists any mixture of filth
that was not used as missile, any
appeal to prejudice or the baser ele-
ments of men that was not made use
Of in New York, 1t is not Of the record.
The great posters representing Hearst
as the assassin of Mckinley and as a
depraved and vicious debauchee, are
only incidents in campaign Of I'M
precedented uncleanliness.
But while all this digusts and sick
ems It is not likely to create much
sympathy for Hearst. He now knows
chow It is himself" The hoardings
that blazoned him before the public did
little more than turn Hearst's own
guns against him. The scandalous
pages of his own journals with their
shameless cartoons and coarse loose
ness of statement and expression have
been teaching the profession of polit-
ical SANDER. When Mr. Hearst, his
wife and his friends, rode by the out
rageous bill boards and saw the libel
GUS post card pictures thick as leaves
along the streets, they saw one Of the
successes of the yellow school Of jour
nalism.
Base personal assaults for political
purposes usually make friends for those
attacked. 1t his not been so in Mr..
! Hearsts case With nothing but dis
gust and condemnation for the scan
dalous methods employed, the public
feels that Mr.. Hearst earned all he has
been getting.

wise satisfactory methods of discharg-

wise satisfactory methods of discharg-
ing. their trust. DR.. Thwing concludes:
This great and unique foundation
bears special message to two classes.
First, it bears a message to the trus-
tees of American colleges. 1t is the
message that this beneficence shall
not be suffered to interfere with the
still further progress of the increase
in the salaries of college teachers.
These salaries are increasing, but the
increase is slow and the resulting
amount is not adequate. College trus-
tees should not, and will not, unload
their own duties of making proper
compensation to the members of their
faculties upon the trustees of the
Carnegie Foundation. This great gift
also bears message of invitation to
young men who are making the great
choice Of life's calling. To enter
the noble vocation of the teacher In,
an American college, young men OF
virile and vigorous stuff do not like to
think of themselves as pensioners.
This foundation does not oblige them
to thus think 1t cannot fail to render
more attractive to the ablest men and
best calling which has. in recent
years, been in peril of failing to sum-
mon the worthiest"

rHwlne ON THE PENSION FOUNDATION.

About the middle Of the current
month the trustees who are to admins
ter the pension fund for teachers in
American colleges, recently founded by
Mr.. Carnegie, are to hold their first
meeting. With this fact in view, DR.
Charles F. Thwing, president of the
Western Reserve University, has writ
ten an article, which appears in the
November North American Review,
in which he examines the presidents
accessible to the trustees when they
come to determine the principles on
which they will base their awards.
These precedents include the German
system for the sustentation of the Of
flcers Of the higher schools and their
families, which was initiated about the
end of the seventeenth century; the
funds established by churches in var
ious countries; city pension funds for
policemen, firemen or other employees;
and pension funds in number of col
leges, such as Harvard, Columbia. Yale,
Cornell and Toronto. In these DR..
Thwing does not think the Carnegie
trustees will find aid Of serious value,
but he is assured that they will de-

AN lMPoTENT DECISION.

Live stock shippers in Iowa will note
that the interstate commerce commits
sion has again declared the 50 terminal
charge at Chicago unreasonable. This
process of extortion has been practiced
for years and the commission has re-
iterated its ruling time and again for
! the last ten years. The commission
keeps on deciding the charge an illegal
one and the railway managers keep on
making it, It has been before courts
and commissions for the best part Of a
decade and without definite settlement
except in impotent decisions by the
interstate commerce commission. Nome
may confidently predict that it wild not
outlive the present parties to the con-
troversy and another generation OF
disputants. But all this time the rail-
roads are getting the shippers money
by a tax declared Illegal by a COM
mission appointed for the special pur-
nose Of preventing extortion and dis
crinlination.
Without entering into the arguments
for or against the legality of the ter
minal charge the point is that under
present conditions the railroads keep
ON getting the money and the shipper
keeps on paying while a definite settle
ment is deferred for a decade Persons
with taste for figures may multiply
the number Of cars that have paid ter
minal charges since the charge was
imposed by two and get total of the
enormous sums involved. He will
then be prepared to read Professor
Hugo Meyers book and take stand
for or against increased powers for the
interstate commission.
Suppose five years ago commission
with power to declare q reasonable
rate subject to revision or reversal by
competent court had abolished the
terminal charge. Does amy one i'm
agine that in 1908 the contention
would have been awaiting definite ac-
ton by the courts?
