In the hearing before the House

In the hearing before the House
Committee on Agriculture, June It'll,
respecting the Roosevelt charges
against the packing houses. DIR.
Melvin. chief of the bureau of ami.
NAL industry, was asked incidentally
to state the number of government
inspectors in Chicago. He answered
" veterinarians, SO stock examiners
and 50 taggers making 1871 in all.
In the whole service, he said, there
are 1888. In view of these facts the
pertinent inquiry is made, What
have these 1888 Federal officers been
doing forthe past seven years? Have
they all, or any of them. been in
the pay Of the packers? Have they
been concealing the truth for the
sake of graft? If so, are they any
worse than the bulk of Federal en-
ployees under Roosevelt's "meritsys-
temp"

If our memory serves US right the
Manchester Press was opposed to
changing the law so as to have
biennial elections in this state in
stead of annually. The present
disgraceful republican campaign Of
the standpatters We progressives, has
had the effect to cause the Press to
take different view of the matter.
At least such would be the natural
inference from reading the following
taken from its issue of last week:
If campaigns such as the one Of
1906 are to be of common occurrence
in Iowa, movement to have elections
every four years instead of biennial.

to have space in his paper? Why
does he print editorials crying for
harmony and give space to political
utterance imperiling the standard Of
the Republican party in Delaware
county?-Earlville Phoenix.
The Republican paper referred to
in the above item, is the Hopkinton
Leader, and it is true that both be-
fore and after the primaries in this
county, it published communications
in which the writer of them express
ed the opinion that, "the republican
n 5minee for sheriff will be beaten in
the election next fall by the present
democratic incumbent" By pub
fishing the communications the
Leader did no more than it ought to
have done, and for doing so cannot
be justly criticized. The columns Of
a newspaper should always be at the
disposal of its patrons to express
their views on any matter pertaining
to the public veal, or in which ii
has an interest. regardless of wheth
er such views are approved OF
disapproved by the editor, or
whether, they will "imperil the Re.
publican" (or any other) party
Its columns should not, as is the
case with the Phoenix, he used al
most exclusively and for the sole
purpose of furthering the selfish
personal interests of it's editor, for
as has been truly said;
by Incorporation Of a law which h
can no more escape than the jury il
the box or the Judge Oh the bencl
the public requires that the edito
shall be without selfish interest AM
unbiased by a lively expectation q
fayors to come, leaving him compe
tent to Judge righteously. Howeye
jealous an editor may be in til
denunciation of evil, the faint {
personal interest greatly minimize
! if it does not destroy his influence.
: There is seldom an issue Of III
. Phoenix in which its edi.or, Count
J. Attorney Cloud, does not have on
or more articles commendatory .
!. himself, and in the same issue tht
he criticises the Leader, appear
over half column Of loaded edito

way-side Views of Crops and Country
on Trip Through Iowa and Missouri.
BYE M.Ca,r.

Last week the writer travelled from
Manchester to Fl. Dodge, thence
south to Maberly, Missouri, THENCE
east to Paris in that state; and then
back home again by more easterly
route than the outgoing trip. At
this season of the year there is ample
opportunity to observe soil and crop
conditions, and l care not what
others may say, northern Iowa, for
stock raising and agricultural pur-
poses, is incomparably better than
Missouri and better far than south
ern Iowa in many respects.
Long before the Missouri line is
reached the soil begins to grow lean,
and clear running water disappears.
At first only little clay can be no
ticed mixed with the loan, but as
you journey southwark the clay in
creases until it finally predominates.
And the observing traveller will not
fail to notice the absence Of wind
mills, which are so plentiful in
northern Iowa.
After the clay soil country is
reached, the farmers use artificial
pounds for stock water. They select
the narrowest and most convenient
place in what a Delaware county
farmer would call side-hill slough,
and scrape out pond of such size
as they desire, using the clay for a
dam on the down hill side. The
clay holds the water admirably, and
even during the present drought ]
did not notice pasture where the
cattle did not have enough muddy
water to drink. / asked why wells
and wind mills were not used. and
wa, told me that deep we'll water
was SO full of mineral that there was
no doing anything with it.
And it is dry, very dry down in
Missouri at the present time, and
dry in Iowa too. / saw dozens oil
places where the sparks from pass
ing engines had set the grass on fire
This was not confined to Missouri
bu. extended northward as far as
Marshalltown in this state.
Crops of all kinds arc far better
along the line of the Illinois Contra
Ry. in Iowa than they are in South
ern Iowa and Missouri. Unles.
abundant rain falls in the very neal
future, meadows and pastures il
half Of Iowa and large part of Mis-
souri, will be seriously damaged.
The people who imagine tina
Delaware county land is too lligl
priced would reverse their opinions
if they had a chance to compare crol
prospects at the present time in thi
part Of Iowa with crops in southern
Iowa and Missouri. AS matter O
fact good Delaware county land i.
too cheap. Unless there is som,
general shrinkage in values, goot
land in northeastern Iowa will sci
for $3.50 per acre before the end o
another ten years, and then valu,
for value it will be no dearer thar
$50 per acre land in in many othel
localities.
