IMPORTANCE OF FARMERS UNION
If Conducted Along Right Lines it
Injuries No One, and is Good
Thing For the Farmer

There is no mistaking the fact
that the Farmers Union is fashion,
ed along ines, which, if properly
adhered To, will injure no other
trade or profession, and will de
velop greatness in more ways than
one for the organization.
The fae. hat the Federation of
Labor sought an alliance with the
farmers demonstrates conclusively
that tde man of the pillow and the
farm begins to recognize the
strength that is at his command,
and has found in this Union me-
dium Of properly handling his ire
mendoas power. And # this
should prove true; if the farmer
has al last fashioned a Union cap
able Of protecting his interests
enough TO restore to#him that In
fuence in public affairs which he
used to enjoy and which by every
law of nature and man ought to
belong to him, every true states
man and every loyal citizen in the
republic will recognize in the dis
covery an occasion for national
rejoicing.
As factor in the progress of
the United States the agricultural
class Is larger numerically than
any other; as a wealth producer it
is supreme; as the bearer Of the
expense of the government it is
the mainstay; but as recipient of
government favors it is restricted
to the niggardly inheritance of the
step child. Thus, for many de-
cades, the largest class of Ameri-
can toilers, the chief wealth pro-
ducers of the nation and the main
taxpayers of the country have
been contributing to condition
that makes life and living easy and
luxurious for others, receiving in
return nothing but the scraps of
the feast. All America has come
to recognize this crying injustice,
consequently, if the farmers. thru
their Union, can bring about
change benehtting their own con
dition and advancing their infu
ences in the affairs of public life,
all America will gladly and cheer
fully make way for the new pow
er.
is power directly in line
with the fundamental principles
of this country. Years ago it was
tricked out of its rightful heritage,
and the country has been visited
with a loss of public morals and
patriotism, because of the usupa-
ton. Let US hope that the time
has come when the farmer may
claim and hold his own again; for,
doubtless, his advancement to his
legitimate influence will mean a
banisment of that public corrup-
ton which the ascendency of rich
es has introduced into the public
life of the nation.

The constantly increasing uses to
which cement is being put vastly in
creases it's value as factor in
activities and enterprises Of the state ;
there are certain localities in this
part Of the state where cement
materials are found in abundance.
The Dubuque Telegraph says:
The production in the nation In
creased from 796, 900 barrels in 1904 to
96, 500, 900 barrels in 1904. Iowa pro-
duced not barrel Of it although the
materixf for msnufacture, according
to the geologists. is here in abundance.
The use Of chalks and marls in the
manufacture Of Portland cement is
no longer necessary: soft or hard lime
stone free from imperfections, is
suitable raw material. OF this stone
there is an abundance in Dubuque
county and along the river to the norh
and south. The report last issued con.
tains analyses and reports on the
cement materials in the Galena and
Manquoketa stages at Zollicoffer Lake,
only q few miles from Dubuque,
Specht's Ferry, Waupeton. Kidder,
Decorah, Fayette county and else
where. These reports are encouraging
to the establishment of cement plants
in this vicinity. An important con-
sideration in the location Of fac.
tories is not only proximity to the
stone deposits, but the cost of fuel.
Iowa is now the center of interest
Of the cement manufacturers, accord
ing to the geologists. and early de.
velopment Of the states resources may
be looked for.

STUDY CONSUMPTION.

The Iowa Association for the study
and Prevention Of tuberculosis which
was organized year ago, the 27th Of
July says the Cedar Rapids Republi-
can. and which is composed of some
Of the most prominent citizens OF Iowa
including ex Governor Larrabee and
Senator Dolliver together with long
list Of the most noted doctors in Iowa,
will hold it's second annual meeting
in DesMoines, Tuesday July Sist. Great
interest is being shown in the coming
meeting and prominent members of the
profession as also Senator Dolliver and
Representative Kendall will take part
in the meeting. DR.. j. w. Kline of
Ft. Dodge who is an authority on
Sanitarium methods of treatment will
be present and deliver an address.
Other leading practitioners will pre-
sent papers.
The association which is now but q
year old has accomplished a great deal.
Not only has it disseminated large
amount Of literature in state wide
educational campaign, but it succeeded
in getting bill through the last ses-
sion Of the legislature appropriating
$50, 600 for state sanitarium for the
treatment Of incipient tuberculosis.
The association now has on . pro-
paganda of education and employs q
lecturer who is devoting his entir Q
time to the platform, speaking at
chautauQua assemblies, before civic
societies, charitable organizations and
in churches.
When it is remembered that con-
sumption carries away about
one-seventh Of all who die,
and that two Thousand die
annually from consumption
in Iowa and that eight thousand others
are infected; it will be seen that it
is time that something was done.
Tuberculosis is durable disease il
taken in time, and it is hoped that
the people throughout the state will
take an active interest in the work
Of the association and the coming
meeting.

There is one thing which has been
made plain during the campaign and
that is folly Of permitting candidates
for an Office to name the delegates to
the state convention. Serious com.
plications have arisen because Of this
baleful practice as notably in the
Polk county case. The Polk county
convention gave Gov. Cummins the
privilege of choosing the delegates to
the state convention solely in his OWL
interest, and without the slightest
regard for the rights Of candidates
for other offices. In this instance.
however, the delegation selected by
the governor held meeting at which
ley pledged themselves to support all
the other gentlemen receiving q
majority at the primaries.

LAFE YOUNG.

One Of the strongest and brainiest
OF the newspaper men Of the state is
Col. Lafe Young. editor of the Des
Moines Capital. Mr.. Young is not
only an able writer but he is also a
lecturer of marked ability. Those who
were fortunate enough to hear his
lecture before the Northeastern Press
Association at Manchester, last spring,
had nothing but words of praise for
the speaker, many declaring as they left
the hall that it was one of the finest
lectures they had ever heard. But
Mr.. Young has incurred the displeasure
of the Des Moines Register and Leader
and some lesser lights by his able
defense of real republicanism during
the campaign now closing. together
with the way in which he has shown
mp the hollow pretences Of the only
one and his chief blowers and strikers.
Mr.. Young will not lose ANYTHING
by these attacks /; he is too big man to
be moved or weakened; ne loses MOTH
ing of the respect in which he has
been held by the people Of the state
because he has seen fit to oppose boss
rule, third term aspirations and the
Cummins machine. Those who are
personally acquainted with him
know him to be an upright, honorable
man as we'll as good fighter. They
know that he may be depended upon
to stand unflinchingly for what he
believes to be right and they admire
that kind Of man. Lafe Young
might reply to his critics as Ben
Butler once did to "Sunset" Cox.
