it is as good and true a republican
paper as ever came down the pike
but IL realizes that there are good
men IN all parties This paper sap

believes they are right, but II does
not follow that in order to do this

No writer Is farther from sugges-

masters. This incident shows that no

sufficiently popular, to carry into the

tons and such courage.

creamery paid for butter fat also
bought in Iowa.
This discrimination has been correct
ed, not by lowering the rate from Iowa
points to Dubuque. but by increasing
the rate from Iowa points to Chicago.
The advantage enjoyed by the Chicago
creameries over Dubuque has therefore
been removed, and similarly the adj
vantage enjoyed by Kansas City. St.
Joseph Omaha and st. Louis cream
cries over creameries in other Iowa
points has been ended.
And while the local creamery indus

and will not be killed by discriminating
rates against 1t. the dairying interests
are put in position where they Will
have probably only one buyer. and 1t
the Iowa creamery. If the latter is
thus given monopoly of the cream mar
ket. it is not to be supposed that It
will not abuse its power.
This new and impending abuse will
have to be guarded against and ons
way to do 1t is to lower the local rates
between Iowa points. This the railway
commission should proceed to do At
once. The Illinois Central certainly can
carry a 10-gallon can of cream to Du-
buque from Webster City for less than
40 cents, since it was able to carry a
10-gallon can to Chicago for 40 cents

sheets came down to 81, and that is
their price now in Illinois-but not In
Iowa. No, they are at the Standard
Oil Company game in this state and
have been for a couple of years. In
Iowa you can get the daily edition of
most any of the Chicago papers for 81.
Think of it! They have two objects In
view one is to try to kill off the Iowa
papers, which they will now find that
they cannot do, and the other is to
hold all the circulation they can out
here for the benefit of the Chicago
merchants who sell in compel ition
with the country merchants of Iowa.
No Iowa merchant should take a Chi
cago paper for minute in preference
to an Iowa paper when we have them
as good as there is. Take The Des
Mones Register and Leader and Mar
shalltown Tines epublican for in
stance. No Chicago paper is better
than they are in any way, and for
Iowa people either of them is ten times
better than any Chicago paper. The
Iowa papers give the news, but they
do not publish a couple of extra pages
every day giving particulars of what
Jay Goulds dog had for dinner and
such trashlike stuff.
Help yourself and help Iowa by taxi
ing Iowa papers. They work for you
and for Iowa, and not for Chicago.

DAIRY PRODUCT RATES.

State Railroad Commissioner Ketch-
um reports that the Illinois Central
railroad has advised him Of an increase
in rates on milk products shipped to
points outside of Iowa-Chicago, KAN
sas City, ST. Louis and Omaha. The
discriminating rates called to its at
tention for correction, the Central
added to the cost of shipment, instead
Of equalizing by taking from.
1t cost, for instance, under the old
tariffs, 40 cents to ship a 1O-gallon can
of cream from Webster City to Chi
cago, thru Dubuque, which is 1873
miles nearer Webster City than is Chi
cago. On an identical can of cream of
the same weight, the rate to Dubuque
was 40 cents. The rate was corresponds
ingly higher from intermediate poin.s
west on the Central to Dubuque than
to Chicago. This arrangement required
the Dubuque creamery to pay nearly I
cent pound more for its butter fat
bought in Iowa than the Chicago

dience."
Miss Kate Denison of Oneonto Nor
NAL school. in New York. surprised the
members OF the state federation OF
by declaring that there is a great
amount of illiteracy in that state. She
says that 1t is decreasing in most
states, but the Empire State is at a
standstill Iowa and Nebraska have
the fewest illiterates, and Louisiana
the most. There are more illiterate
children of native-b born parents than of
foreign-born parents. which is most
surprising. She said: I'VE need not
go to the Tennessee mountains to edu-
cate the poor white trash, for we have
them In at least ten counties in our
own state. In the United States one
out of every nine of the recruits of the
army is illiterate; in Germany, but one
out of $500: in New York, one out Of
every eighteen. Miss Denison con-
cludes that the American view of free
dom is illogical, and that it is this view
resenting compulsory education, that is
partly responsible for lliteracy, and
she thinks that too much emphasis has
been put upon the high schools, to the
neglect of the primary schools.

THE WAY TRUSTS WORK.
Hampton Chronicle]

lI1dIlplOn CHTOnlCieJ
Iowa people generally are against
any kind of holdup scheme, whether
it is wire trust or steel trust or
a Chicago newspaper trust. The peo-
pie howl against a trust but the min
ute the Standard Oil Company puts
oil two cents lower for the purpose of
killing off an Independent competitor
oil at a lower price than the Standard
Oil Company has been doing up to that
time, the people flock in droves to the
tanks of the great oil trust, for the
sake Of saving or 10 cents week
on their oil bill-that is they think
there is an oil war on and they are
getting the benefit They are getting
a small benefit for very short time
until the big Oil trust has put the in
dependent company out Of business,
and then the dear people are again
obliged to purchase of the oil trust
and pay the regulation high price, and
usually enough more to make up for
what they bought cheap a few weeks
previous. So it is seen that when the
people have chance to kill off trust
they usually are for it instead Of
against it.
Now the Chicago newspaper trust
is at it again In Iowa. Up to few
years ago there was not a really great
paper in Iowa. The price of the Chi
cago papers was then IS to So year,
but with the growth OF the Iowa dailies

II Mark Twain's daughter was not
prepared to go out into the serious
duties of life with courage and energy
and good heart, it was because she
had not been properly fitted. Some
women there are who must meet the
world as 1t Is, with good cheer and
with confidence. 1t was never intend
ed that women should be hot house
plants, nor angels before their time.
And such women there are. The from
tier prairies of Iowa are full OF them.
the grandmothers who saw the covered
wagon and the sod house, who today,
in good health and good cheer. are
spending ripening old age blessed
in the health and prosperity of chill
dren and grandchildren in no stinted
numbers.
The father who wishes most wisely
his daughter robust and hopeful out
look on life wishes her the ambition to
meet life half way and the energy and
endurance to grasp and hold its great
opportunities. To wish her anything
else is to confess defeat defeat that
cannot be covered with any thin veneer
of cheap sentimentality, or cynical
philosophy.

THE DUTY OF LIBRARY BOARDS.

Let US be careful of adverse criti-
cism directed toward the boards of
public libraries that refuse admission
to books for cause. We are hearing
much Of the supersensitiveness of the
Massachusetts board that turned down
Mark Twain's new book because of the
freedom of the illustrator 1t is incon-
ceivable to some editors that an author
of SUCH high repute and of unques-
tionetd morality should find any door
closed to him. Not the less the library
board was right and is to be commend
ed. 1t was simply doing its duty as it
saw it, and most parents would see it.
II the illustrations of the book are in
any way suggestive every teacher and
close observer of children will agree
with the board.
The nude in art is delight to the
art student and the pure in heart, but
II will be remembered that so free
philosopher as Aristotle doubted the
propriety and advisability of teaching
the young moral philosophy. 1t is but
a step between nude beauty and vile
suggestion. There is no good reason
why satirical skit on the fig leaf fash
ions of Eden should be accompanied by
Adamic fashion plates. especially in a
public library. The ballet is less OBJ
noxious. even when it is obnoxious.
than the public posters that sugges-
lively advertise it. The public library

"rhe speech made by Governor Cum
minis at Andersonville on the occasion
of the dedication Of the Iowa monu-
ment to Iowa soldiers who suffered in
that prison was the finest thing; in
thought and matter that / have ever
heard" said State Printer Bernard
Murphy, yesterday. II have heard
many great addresses and most of the
fine orators of the nation, but never
have listened to as eloquent ara
touching an address as that of Cover
nor Cummins. He had carefully
thought out what he would say on that
occasion, but when he arose to speak
he found himself in the midst of field
of graves, 1880 union soldiers being
buried there, and he abandoned the
plan he had formed for his address and
devoted himself to another theme. He
changed the whole current of his
thought, and the address he delivered
was as finished and as brilliant as II
it had been written after laborious eff
fort and study. He spoke for thirty
minutes and not soul moved nor
head was covered during the entire
time. for the people were enthralled by
his oratory He seemed inspired to the
greatest possible height Of eloquence.
The orations at other points were all
excellent, and those of the governor
and Colonel Clark at Vicksburg were
exceptionally good, but the address by
Governor Cummins at Andersonville, l
believe, will serve long to mark the
true standard Of perfect oratory
