whether Il will be finally disposed Of or not
remains to be seen.
Councilmen Younkerman and Maloney of
the fire and light committee which drafted
the contract are now more than ever, since
their attendance at the meeting of the Iowa
League of Municipalities at Des Moines
satisfied that the contract is an advan-
tageous one for the city. At the meeting
in Des Motnes considerable discussion was
had on lighting contracts and the state
ments OF oficials from other cities. II is
said. demonstrated that the proposed con-
tract was an exceptionally good one for
the city
Some of the councilmen, however, appear
TO think that Council Bluffs should not
pay a higher rate for the city lighting
than Omaha does. and this point proved the
stumbling block at the last meeting of the
city council to fnal action on the proposed
contract.

Professional Fees.
Chicago Chronicle. }

1t is sometimes claimed that the sur
geon or the PHYSICIANS the only man
who is paid for his. mistakes, but that
is untrue. Lawyers receive fees for
the cases that they lose and other men
are not "docked," whenever they fall
short of completed success. The truth
is that the idea'of human compensation
is basedlupon intelligent, honest effort
and reputed skill. If all fees and sala-
ries were contingent upon absolute per-
lection in the task undertaken they
would have to be increased many times
over, since absolute perfection or COM
plete success is very rare.in.any line of
activity.

The Democrats were very confident
and hopeful that there would be heavy
deficit in the national treasury for the
year just closed; but in this they have
been disappointed. There was con-
siderable deficit at the end of the year
1904, but not at the end of 1905. The
revenues for 1905 were greatly increas-
ed the latter part Of the year, just as
Secretary Shaw said they would be, and
things balanced up all right. So our
Democratic friends will have to hunt
something else to talk about in the ap-
preaching Congressional campaign.

President Roosevelt has again become
prominent as a peacemaker. He has
made an effort to avert the threatened
strike of the bituminous coal miners,
and that effort promises to meet with
success. Both the operators aid min
ers have confidence in the President
and have readily listened to his sugges-
tons for further and more definite nego-
tiatiOns for a settlement of their differ
ences. A strike on the part of the min
ers at this time would be great public
calamity and all good citizens will ap-
prove the effort of the President to pre-
VENT it.

the Investigations that are now being
made by legislative committees and the
other Investigations demanded by the
Democratic press give ample answer.
1t is plain that progressive corruption
has existed in nearly every department.
Here, again, do we find the Constitu-
ton failure.
There are numerous other points at
which our new organic law is a pro-

est Democrats in the future will loath it.

HOUSEHOLD MEASURES.
Just What Is Meant by Teaspoonful
and Tablespoonful in the Or
binary Recipes.

A Basting Spoon.-Means the pressed
iron spoons about half as long as ones
arm. The bowl of most of them, Of
different lengths of handle, holds the
same. Six basting spoons of liquid
are cne-half pint, or cupful. 1t IS
the most useful measure for molasses.
A full spoon of molasses is two ounces
A basting spoon of melted butter or
lard rot quite full Is one ounce. Six
spoons brim full will be one-half pound
of butter.
A tablespoon IA times full is a cup
full, or one-half pint of water. Not
brimming, but level FULL Two table,
spoonfuls Of melted butter is one ounce.
1t is near enough 70 count table
spoonful as one-half ounce of any
fluid except molasses, of which a
tablespoon may be made to take up
one ounce. A heaping tablespoonful
of corn starch is one ounce, four will
fill cup heaping full-starch can be
heapel so much higher than sugar. A
moderately heaped tablespoonful OF
flour is one ounce; three fully heaped
will fill a cup-four ounces. Of eggs
brokon In a cup three tablespoonfuls
are equal to one egg.
Coffee. - One heaping cupful OF
ground coffee is four ounces.
Tea--Two heaping cupfuls of tea are
a quarter Of a pound. One heaping
cupful of tea is IA teaspoonfuls. One
teaspoonful should be allowed to one
cupfIl OF boiling water for making the
beverage.
Chocolate. - Common unsweetened
should be used, as the sweet chocolate
is half sugar, and will not make 1t
strong enough; one ounce (unsweet-
ened) will make four cupfuls OF bev-
erage. One heaping cupful OF grated
common chocolate is three ounces and
makes three quarts; it contains seven
tablespoonfuls. The ounces are marked
on the cakes.
A cupful, unless otherwise indicated,
should be measured level. Put the In
gradients in from a scoop or by spoon
fuls. round slightly and level with a
knife, care being taken not to shake
the cup.-Chicago Tribune.

The Standard On The Rack.
philadelphia Press. }

The Standard Oil Company has fallen
upon evil days. Its charter is in peril
of being rescinded sin New Jersey,
while Missouri has instituted proceed
ings to drive it from their borders.
Some of it's most carefully guarded Sc
crets have been revealed by former en-
ployees on the witness stand, while its
chief officer, John D. Rockefeller, is
practically fugitive through fear Of
processes, which will force him to dis
close further undesirable facts.
The most recent and serious blow
that has been dealt this monopoly is the
action of the Interstate Commerce
Commission in ordering an investiga-
ton of the rates and practices of the
railroads engaged in transporting oil
from Kansas and Indian Territory to
interstate destinations. This investi-
cation, fearlessly conducted, will be
productive of damaging facts not only
concerning the railroads doing business
in the Southwestern oil fields, but of
the Standad Oil Company. The def
ant and barefaced manner in which
some of the Western trunk lines have
favored the Standard with rebates at
the expense of the independent produ-
GERS has been a national scandal ever
since the oil production of that section
became factor in the conntry's sup
ply.
In response to the general outcry of
oil producers in Kansas, "The Press"
last year sent astaff correspondent to
Kansas to investigate the situation.
Enough was developed then to prove
that the railroads and the Standard Oil
Company were hand in glove in a sys-
tenn of oppression. The independent
producer was compelled to sell his oil
without regard to quality to the Stan
dard at whatever arbitrary rate that
monopoly might establish. AS for Sc
curing adequate shipping facilities; OF
competitive rate from the railroad
companies, this was out of the question;
the Standard controlled and dominated
the situation with its usual brutal disre-
gard of the rights of the individual.
The part which an investigation into
the oil-carrying system of the railroads
in the Southwestern fields will play is
vitality important to the Standard, as
well as to the Independent producers OF
Kansas and the Indian Territory.
When it is proven-and that it will be
proven is pre-established fact-to the
satisfaction Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission that the Sante Fe, Union
Pacific, Rock Island and other roads
have Disseminated in favor of the Stand
ard, the latter's existence will termi-
nate in Kansas, as it must shortly ter
inmate in Missouri. 1t looks now as if
the day of the Standard as the greatest
commercial pirate of the age is nearing
its close. The people are coming into
their own, not by ephemeral or hyster-
ical processes, which afford temporary
relief, but by the lasting, impartial
mandate of the law. And the process
