THE DEADLY WEAPON EVIL.

Texas is not the only state in the
Union that is suffering from the pre-
valence of the criminal habit of car
rying deadly weapons. New York
has Just had and experience as bad
or worse than any Texas has gone
through. There was recently in that
city a series of assaults with deadly
weapons. and so numerous We're such
affrays and so deadly the assaults
that police raided the Italian quarter
and in the buildings and from resi-
dents of the quarter arrested on the
streets collected a supply of forbid
den weapons most varied and COM
prehensive enough to have supplied
+ gun shop with stock
Many weapons in the collection
We're as unique as they We're deadly
and the use Of them by the foreign
owners stirred police circles of New
/ York.
IL will perhaps be said that the
owners and bearers of such weapons
knew no better. being ignorant for
eigners. and that it is a very differ
enr matter when freeborn Americans
carry weapons. as they are accus-
toned to it, and il is gentleman s

MAKING MONEY IN IOWA.

When the president came into Iowa
to begin his itinerary down the MISS
issippi, beside reviewing many impor-
tant acts of the administration and
forecasting others to come quite as
important, he spoke principally OF
Iowa as an agricultural state, express
ing the hope that it would continue in
it's agricultural pre-eminence. The
president came to Iowa with the i'm
preston that all eastern men bring
with them into the state. that Iowa Is
the premier farmers state. leader in
all that pertains to the farm and farm
products.
We have done so much in agricul-
ture, our soil is so completely respons-
i've to culture and SO strong to bear,
our hogs and cattle and horses have
won such distinction so many times
against the competition of the world
that much of the greatness of Iowa is
overlooked and only its fertility consld-
cred. Iowa has coal mines, quarries,
mineral wealth Of varied and suscep-
tible kinds. 1t has opportunities un-
developed as yet in manufacturing. we
have done like the president fixed our
eyes on the principal business of the
state, content with real estate invest
ment and per cent while the states
farther east without greater facilities
for manufacturing have supplied our
markets with manufactured goods.
With the rise of land prices and the
consequent limitation Of probable proflts
in land speculation in Iowa, money has
been poured out of the state IN a
golden flood upon the cheaper LANDS
further west. Much of this is goou
investment, but the time is rapidly
approaching when the idle money OF
the state will learn that Iowa coal ana
other necessities to manufacturing
business offer idle money an Iowa OPP
portunity to work under its owners
eve, safely, profitahly and to the adj
vantage of the capitalist and the state
and the labor of the state.
When we are placing Iowa where
she belongs at the head of the agri-
cultural procession, let us not forget
this. We are big and strong in more
ways than one. There are other ways
of making money in Iowa than the
principal way. When within the next
generation the skies of Iowa grow
cloudy with factory smoke from the
center to the four corners, we shall
realize this.
And the sooner we realize it the
better for Iowas greater prosperity

oRAToRY At THE BAR.
washington. Ia, Press)


We have wondered that members
the fine art of telling oratory. In forty
one years we have not heard hall
dozen pleas made in court by home
men. who have even tried to do the
miracles of spell binding. There have
been several notable forensic displays
in our court. but nearly all We're to
the credit of imported talent. 1t is an
art we'll worth cultivatng, for 1t gives
the practitioner reputation and Sc
cures for him definite results and GER
tain success, but, someway our law
yers appear to djsdain the art as
not worth while. Mcfield paid no man
ner of attention to the art. and missed
out In results by it. 1t pays lawyer
to be an interesting pleader. We'd
all desert business, any time. and flock
to the court house if advocates would
supplement their arguments with ora
tory The bar could beat the pulpit
to death. il attorneys looked as atten-
lively to the grace side. as to the log
zeal side in handling case. When it
was known that Rufus Choate was to
address jury, stores. theaters, con-
cert halls. etc, We're deserted every
body eager to see and hear that whirl-
wind. Perhaps the reason our bar
do not practice the oratorical art IS,
there are not enough cases to justify
it, But no matter what the case. why
not bear it in mind? How it fresh
ems a jury. after a tedious wrestling
with testimony for days. to listen to
a lawyer making an interesting plea!

BINDS NOTHING.

The DUBUQUE Times concludes that
Allison's declaration of submission
binds no member Of the legislature to
one thing or another. That is
practically what the Sioux City
Journal concludes. The Times,
which has beer considered in
piece of Senator Allison, predicts that
the legislators VIII be called upon to
choose between the majority voice
of the primary and the dictation of
bosses.
The natural Inference is that
the Allison declaration will be worked
for all it is worth as vote getter
and to quiet opposition as much as
it may, but that it will be ignored and
repudiated by the anti-Cummins man
agenent whenever it is to their advan-
tage to do so. These two newspapers
have assumed the leadership of the
Allison campaign. The Journal has as
serted itself as an apostle of harmony
and has been crying in the Wilderness.
Both are anxious for harmony on
basis of "heads win. tails you lose"
Their direct reputation of Allison's
Interpretation Of the law is a fore
cast of the campaign methods we are
likely to be up against in Iowa.
Perhaps this plan is the reason that
Senator Allisons views on the primary,
which he says he has expressed over
and over previous to the declaration
have been suppressed by the newspa-
pers that are closest to him. The in
tent, as appears evident, is to repud-
late the primary. The scheme to elect
a democrat, outlined by the Cedar
Rapids Republican is still alive and
stirring. 1t is likely democratic sem
ator would suit Mr.. Blythe and the
railroad and corporate interests better
than Allison.
The chance for harmony has been
offered. The Times and the Journal,
representative of reactionary senti-
ment are busy destroying it. Their
activity is equivalent to confession
that they and their bosses are con-
primary.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
MORE RHEUMAT ISM?
Gowa, City Republican,

Governor Cumlnins stands for a
general lowering of prices. He Is a
non-producer. consumer. He never
produced anything in his life. Was
never an employer of labor and all
his sympathies are with the people
who buy and not with those who sell
He wants lower prices and he should
have the support of all who want the
same thing. The workinsman is not
for lower prices for his labor, but if
he would pare down the price of meat,
flour, butter. eggs. etc, he must ex-
pect the price of labor to be reduced
accordingly. In fact in times of de-
preston. which Is only another name
for lowering Of prices, labor is the
first to suffer, and when the upward
turn comes, labor is the last to get
a raise. Governor Cummins should
call convention of all who want a
lowering of prices and organize them
into club to promote his candidacy.
