HEPBURN THROWS ALLISON DOWN.

A most significant discovery has
been made by the Clarinda Herald
published by a faithful lieutenant of
w. P. Hepburn in the congressman's
home town. The Herald has discovered
that while there is really no hope that
Mr.. Blythe could be induced to take
the position, yet it would be wonder
fully fortunate result for the interests
of the people at large IL he were to
accept a seat in the United States SEN
ate.'
Here the Herald leaves us with
hearts palpitating with excitement
while we wonder what Mr.. Blythe
would do IL that seat should back
right UP to him and ask him to sit
down. Then again unless someone
should go personally to Jim Hill and
the New York bankers back of the
Northern Securities Company, there is
no way of knowing what they would
say about 1t. Those of us who remem-
Der how Mr. Blythe actually button
holed legislators in a recent session to-
see how much Of a show he had for
election to the senate can hardly I'M
agine what he would say to such a
proposition now
But while this is all perpleXing, the
SAD thing about this suggestion coming
from out the heart Of the reservation,
from the home town of the veteran
congressman and from his own faith
full servant, is the implied elimination of
the revered name Of Allison. 1t almost
shakes ones faith In human nature and
actually makes the heart sore to con-
template the ingratitude Of republics In
their politics. Here Is this venerable
statesman tottering toward his eight
ieth birthday with career Of thirty
years distinguished public service to
his credit and the close friends Of the
very man who has served longest with
him are proposing to cast the aged
public servant aside like a squeezed
lemon and to pick up the younger man
a United States senator is superior to
that of an octogenarian. Could any
be more heartless? To think
that it should come from the reserva-

DIES MONIES WILL TRY IT.

Over the state today there is much
satisfaction that the Des Moines
Plan won and won with majority
that settles unimpeachably the will and
sentiment OF the people of Des Moines.
The plan" won out by a majority Of
2.2S9 out of a vote of about 10000, a
decisive answer to the question asked
by the special election Both sides"
of the city Joined in this affirmative
answer There can be no quibbling over
the definite character of the pronounce
ment of her people in favor of the
Des Moines plan.
1t was fiercely fought by an alliance
of interests, an alliance that seems
strange on first sight but is natural
enough, nevertheless. The office hold
ers didn't want it, for obvious reasons.
and the gamblers and other criminal
interests that vote in Des Moines were
actively opposed for reasons equally
obvious. Union labor leaders fought 1t
for reasons not so easily understood
Every graft and dishonest interest was
in opposition. To these may be added
an element of respectable citizens who
worth a trial and feared its possibili-
ties. The vote shows however, that
union labor failed to follow it's leaders
and voted as it pleased, as union labor
usually does and that the average citi-
zen went down to the polls yesterday
glad Of the opportunity offered to try
an experiment that holds the promise
of relief from present municipal condi-
lions. He preferred to take a chance
with the alleged silkstocking rather
than to stay under the thumb Of the
ward politician, and the interests that
always control the heller.
The vote shows something
more. Des Moines' reputation
has been byword in Iowa,
kissing and reproach The state
has been ashamed Of the manner in
which the capital city has conducted
her elections of one kind and another,
but Des Moines has started in to make
new reputation. The universal ten
dency toward the square deal and clean
administration of affairs has struck
Des Moines as it has struck other cities
and states and the nation. The desire
to get away from the special to the
popular interests, the newly acquired
knowledge that decency and respect
ability and good citizenship can always
control cities, states and nations when
they rise in their might to create and
destroy, are-in yesterdays vote.
Let Des Moines try "the PLAN But
let her take the same interest in Sc
lection of her commission that she has
id deciding for the plan. She needs
her best men and they are not likely to
be first to push forward as candidates.
The grafters were not all against the
plan. When she creates the board
that is to administer it Des Moincs
wins or loses for her plan.

AROuT PEANUTS.

Peanuts are beginning to form an
appreciate and rapidly growing item
In the foreign commerce Of the united
States, especially in the import trace.
Despite the fact that the United States
produces probably IL million hushels
of peanuts per annum, her eXporta-
tions have ben in such Inconsistencies
quantities that the bureau of statstlcs
has only recently found ii necessary TO
include peanuts in its list of articles
exported. Meantime the imports nave
also rapidly increased and the total
foreign commerce in this article in the
year about to end will aggregate nearly
one million dollars. the imports having
grown in value from less than $6,000
In the wear 1900 to about half million
dollars in the present year. While eN-
ports for the year will approximate
about 800 thousand dollars.
Prices of peanuts have also greatly
advanced in the foreign markets, the
average valuation of imported peanuts,
based upon wholesale prices In the
markets from which they are sent to
the United States, having advanced
from IL cents per pound in 1898 to
"a cents per pound in 1907, for thoss
In the natural state, and that of shelled
peanuts imposed in 1898 was "a cents
per pound. and in 1907. As cents.
Since the peanut crop of tbs coun-
try is not estimated annually by the
department of agriculture, the only Of
fetal data In regard to both the
acreage and the productions are those
collected by the decenial census. A
comparison of the eleventh and
twelfth censuses shows that the grow
ing Of peanuts has been rapidly ex-
tending in this country, the, acreage
in 1889 being 100000 ac.es and In 1899
$4,000 acres an increase Of over $50
per cent, while the production has IN
creased from 3,5SS,0O0 bushels to H.
905. 900 bushels, or about,233 per cent.
The crop is concentrated in few
southern states. Virginia supplying
about one third OF it, North Carolina
about another third, and five states
Georgia, Alabama and Florida in adj
dition to the above mentioned) claim
ing in 1899 about 80 per cent Of the
acreage and crop.
