THE AVERAGE CUBAN.

Howard Burrell declares in the
Washington Press that it is mainly
galoots and loafers and landless reso-
lutes who are stirring up the fuss in
Cuba, and that the rank and file there
are no more fit to be citizens of a re.
public than Jersey red landpikes and
muley Durhams and Herefords are.
AS he pictures him, the average Gu
ban is fellow in cotton breeches,
shirt-tail hanging outside, leaf hat
with dents and holes in it, carrying a
fighting rooster under his arm, or
hustling to the arena to see q bull
fight. "They are not our breed of
CATS" he says, "but are about on a
par with gophers, prairie dogs, desert
owls and rattlesnakes all holeing To-
gether, yet not as happy family"
He declares that If the whole bunch
were tied together in sacks a la cats
and puppies, and dumped into the sea,
and held down long enough for favor.

good thing per Sc. But it wouldn't
be moral, "and whatever Uncle does
must have a good moral" He"stands

tians-without being much Of Chris.
tian after ALL" But, according to the
Washington philosopher, he must let
on, all the same, and keep his face
and look solemn.

THE clRcLELEss BALLOT.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil: By de-
cree of the last general ASSEMBLY. there
will be no circle at the top of the bal
lot at the coming election. Hereto
fore, since the adoption of the modi.
fed Australian system, circle has
appeared opposite each of the party
names at the head of the ballot. This
has made voting a simple matter for
those who wished to vote it straight"
it being necessary for such merely to
place a cross in the circle opposite the
party name, republican, democrat, So
cialist or prohibitionist, as the case
might be. Hereafter, however, there
will be no circle on the ballot, and the
voter will have to place his cross in
the square opposite the name of eaca
candidate for whom he wishes to vote.
What effect this will have on the
fortunes of the different parties AMI
! different candidates is matter OF
speculation. The circleless ballot is
ar invitation to independent voting.
Having to run down the long column
and make a mark for each candidate
the voter may find it little additional
trouble to indulge an inclination at
some point along the line to"scractch'
that is, to move over to another col.
umn and give an opposition candi-
date for some particular Office the
benefit of his suffrage. 1t is mani
fest that the new system will be con-
Guciye to irregular, or independent.
voting, even when in some respects
the circumstances are extraordinary,
| t. is likely that the scratching will
proceed with corresponding increased
yigor. This is the way the situation
seems to strike the average observer.
! Bur who will benefit and who will suf-
fer remains to be seen.
In an interview at Des Moihes the
other day, Congressman Lacey said:
81 think mistake was made III chang
ing our form of voting this year by
| taking the party circle of the ballot.
| There are many voters who would
vote the straight ticket with the cir.
Gle, who will scratch when they are
required to vote on every candidate
To analyze bit, Major Lacey sug-
gested "the governor may have some
little advantage over the rest of us,
being first on the ticket Undoubtedly
there will be many voters, who will
! not notice the change in the law and
will mark the square opposite the
! governors name, thinking they are
thus voting the whole straight ticket,
| whereas they are voting only for the
governor"
Be that as it may, the congressman
makes timely observation when he
says that there ought to be cam
paign of education to impress on the
voters the new method of voting The
change from the old method is a con-
siderable one and it doubtless will
have a noticeable effect on the voting
and many ballots may be lost To many
of the candidates if thought is not
mad to carefully instruct the voters.

DEAL WITH 1906 EIRsr.

Speaker Cannon is right. Our duty
is to elect republican house of rep
resentatives in 1906. Then we can
talk about 1908. 81 want to be speak
err of the next house." says Mr.. Can
non. Unless we carry the house in
1906 we may lose the president in
1905" This is straight talk. The
work which is before us is to elect a
house of representatives IN which the
republican majority will be large
enough to carry through all needed
measures of legislation without seek
ing democratic aid. - ~
All the indications point to the cleo
ton of republican house in 1906,bu
the majority must be large enough to
give the party easy control of legisla.
ton. The republican party has the
record which can command success
if an intelligent attempt is made to
utilize it. 1t has able leaders as well
as an inspiring program. Nothing can
defeat the party in 1906 except over.
confidence. The party deserves to
win, but 1t must take the precaution
to work as II the result were in doubt.
Speaker Cannon, Major Lacey and
other leaders are doing their part to
ward making republican victory on
congress as notable in 1906 as 1t was
in 1904. Let us do ours.

hol in SUFFICIENT quantities to justify
the erection of distilling plant in
connection with every corn cannery.
The government commission succeed
ed in getting eleven gallons Of alcohol
from ton Of corn cobs and six gallons
of alcohol from ton Of corn stalks.
The tests show that there are 240
pounds of fermenting substance in a
ton Of corn stalk. and that this will
yield about its weight in absolute al
cohol. Thus a ton of stalks win pro

APPLES IN IOWA.

Prof. A. T. Erwin, head of the de.
partment of horticulture at Iowa State
college, has arranged for experiments
to determine the best methods Of stor-
ing Iowa apples. He declares that
Iowans are annually losing thousands
of dollars by either raising the wrong
varieties of apples or not properly
storing them. Concerning the Iowa
apple crop and the proposed expert.
ments, Professor Erwin says:
iowa orchards are producing a SUI
perabundance of fall apples and a
proportionate scarcity Of late winter
fruit. This is particularly the case
in the northern half of the state where
there is great scarcity Of hardy va
rieties of good winter apples. This
condition presents two problems OF
economic Importance:
The Oskaloosa herald., 1906-10-04

1.-THE cold storage Of fall varieties,
thereby lengthening their season and
making it possible to distribute the
crop to more distant markets and also
at better prices to the grower. The
storage of fall sorts for local markets
and home consumption in winter as a
substitute for late varieties. The ag-
gregate amount of fall apples which
annually goes to waste in Iowa is
enormous. With ample storage facll.
tiles and proper methods Of handling
the fruit both before and after it is
stored there can be no doubt that
mitch Of this loss might be prevented
and thousands of dollars which are
sent out of the state would remain in
the hands of the Iowa fruit grower.
while it Is well known that the
supply OF winter apples from the orch.
ards in Iowa does not meet the de.
mand for home consumption, yet few
If any realize the extent to which ap.
pies are imported into Iowa from 9th,
er states. From inquiry among lead
ing lines Of railroads as to the mum.
Ter of barrels shipped in from Oct.
i, 1904, to July 1, 1905, and also from
the dealers, it is estimated that dur
ing the period referred to the cities
OF Iowa bought from outside of the
state 364,S00 barrels of apples which
at the conservative figure of $3.50 per
barrel means an aggregate cost OF
$4,000. 1t should also be remem-
bered that this refers only to the ur-
ban population, which represents but
one-third of the total population ct the
state.
ut has been clearly demonstrated
by ca.efully conducted cold storage
experiments that many of the fall va
relies of apples can be kept two or
three. months beyond their normal
period for first class condition. A va
riety varies much in its cold storage
quality under different soil and climat-
ic conditions and while the leading
commercial varieties grown in Iowa
have already been tried in storage in
older fruit growing sections, yet these
tests do not apply to Iowa conditions,
and the value of Iowa fruit for stor-
age has not yet been determined.
"The horticultural section Of the
Iowa experiment station in co-opera-
ton with the division of pomology OF
the United States department Of agri-
culture is taking up the investigation
of a number of important problems
connected with the cold storage OF
apples grown in this state. Observa.
lions are to be made on the keeping
quality of different varieties of Iowa
apples as related to the age OF the
tree, the type of soil upon which tits
grown, whether it is grown under sod
or clean tillage, the degree of matur-
ity of the fruit, the question of imme-
date VS.. delayed storage, of wrapped
VS.. unwrapped fruit, and Of small
packages VS.. barrels. The work will
be conducted by Mr.. H. ]. Eustace.
