CLEVELAND AS a DecoY DUCK.

st. Louis Globe-D emocrat.-Some
of the papers, most OF them of his own
party, regret that Mr.. Cleveland has
allowed the use of his name as an In
surance officer for the alleged purpose
Of endine rebates, One of these pa
pers we'll says that the ex-president
knows nothing of rebates or of the
business Of life insurance" and de-
ciares that he Is employed for the
value of his name and the prestige of
his former Office" Another paper
says that sour ex-presidents should
not be compelled to work for living
but should be pensioned by the gov
eminent"
1t is undoubtedly true that the in
surance companies which have hired
Mr.. Cleveland did so for the semblance
give them in these troublesome days.
The ex-president Is honest and
Industrious, and he will, IL he
can, do work which swill be worth
more than his salary. Unless he has
expert aid. however, the rebaters will
have an easy job in eluding him.
The suggestion of a pension for ex-
presidents is foolish. All the ex-
presidents who have appeared in our
day have been capable of earning their
own livelihood. All of them can save
enough out of their $5O,000-a sal
airy to put them in fairly easy circum-
stances at the end of their four OF

be benefited by the change and SO

Right now, with good start, is the
time for the people of Ottumwa to
take hold of the reins and swing into
line for Ottumwa's betterment. Two
new factories have been secured in
the last four months and deal for
obtaining another is now pending.
With every Ottumwan pulling togeth-
er many more industries can be Sc
cured. Ottumwa has made wonderful
strides in the last year and there is
opportunity for a continuation of that
progress.
In addition to more factories, OF
tumwa wants and needs an inter-ur-
ban railroad. The business interests
of the city are ripe now for such an
Improvement and 1t is high time that
the decisive steps were taken toward
making an inter-urban line reality.
These railroads pay in other states
and in other pats of Iowa and there
is no reason apparent why one for OF
tumwa would not pay. Capital must
be interested and it ia UP to the bust
ness interests of Ottumwa to get busy
and start the inter-urban ball rolling.
There's no time like the present.

DOING PRETTY WELL.

AN Iowa editor, sizing up the stu
alton in America, has come to the con-
clusion that, as nation, we Ameri-
cans have pardonable right to think
well of our condition and to look con-
fidently into the future. Not a cloud
obscures the horizon, and the immedi-
ate surroundings are all that could be
desired. This Iowan, summing up the
situation, says:
''There are 100000 of us and we

veins, and a feeling Of exhilaration
akin to ecstacy itself, was indeed for

and added that not only was this early
morning plunge one Of his treatments,
but at night he would soak his night
shirt in the ice water Of the tub
wiring out the garment almost dry,

result is that he is as rugged as a

that there was balance of $4,000 to

a RoaEY DISBELIEF.

It is announced that Kaiser William
has postponed the date after which
this country is no longer to receive
most favored nation treatment at his
hands, In order to give us more time
to decide which American industries
we will give up to him as the price Of
his favor He will very likely give us
a very long time to consider.
This announcem ent of Germany's
change of plans need cause no sur
prise. Notwithstanding her threats,
Germany will not advance duties on
American goods at that date. The
rates will remain the same as at pres
ent. An accommodation has been ar
rived at between Secretary Root and
the German ambassador, Baron Stern
burg. Just how much the United
States comedies in the compromise
has not been revealed, but in the pres
ent temper of the people, of congress
and of the President. it is safe ito say
that our side will give up very little,
If anything. OF course the German am
bassador must have received the sane
ton IF his government before he could
propose anything or agree to anything.
The arrangement, therefore, which
has been made with Secretary Root
will stand, so far as regards the Ger
man end of it.
The st. Louis Globe Democrat, in a
we'll considered article on this subject
says:
Germany is a good customer of the
United States, but most of the things
we sell her are cotton and other raw
materials Of manufacture and food
products. To advance the duties on
any of these things would hit Germany
harder than it would the United States.
Cotton, which is by far the largest item
in our sales to Germany, must be OBJ
tanned In the United States Germany
has no other recourse. If she stops
buying cotton Of us her mills will have
to suspend. AS the United States fur
nishes three-fourths Of the cotton of
the entire world, Europe is necessarily
bound to come here for the bulk of
that product which it uses. II Ger
many should add to its duty on cotton
its manufacturers would suffer in the
competition with other countries, and
the German consumers would have to
pay prices which would arouse pro-
test throughout the empire. Germany
bought of us in 1906 about $42,000,000
of food articles of various sorts. An
advance in the duty on these products
would raise the price of food to such an
extent for the German populace that
that country's executive and law
makers would promptly be made to
undo their work. All this is plain to
the shrewd men at the head of the
kaiser's government.
ION the other hand, the bulk of the
United States imports from Germany
are manufactured articles, which we
can get elsewhere in Europe or fur.
nish from our own mills. This, too
is well known 10 Germans lawmakers
and law executors. Our manufacturers
would be glad to see a tariff war with
Germany 1t would help them without
perceptibly increasing the cost to
American consumers. A tariff war
would harm Germany far more than
it would the United States. We could
eventually find new markets for ou1
raw materials of manufacture and fol
our food products, but Germany could
not gets it's cotton elsewhere, and
would Stherefore fare worse than this
country in the case of tariff war;
