FARM RENTS.

Il)ranEe Nlly f1eFdlpJ
The farmer who rents land will wake
up one of these days and find that
rents have been raised to about IS per
acre. Nor would that figure be out
Of proportion or an unjust one. Mr..
Herman Schreuer. Of near Alton.
shelled his corn last week and sold
the product for AZ cents per bushel.
The crop averaged about sixty bushels
and at that figure the land produced
$3.50 per acre. This is by no means
an isolated case, because If Mr..
Schreuer had fed his corn the profit
would very likely have been still
larger Another farmer near Ireton.
Mr.. Campbell. turned forty-one head
of steers into a forty-acr pasture
in the spring and in the fall the steers
showed a gain which Melted him $3.50
per acre. Cotton lands in the south
rent from $40 per acre up. and corn
lands In Illinois rent for about Sc.
Inasmuch as Iowa land Is a trife bet
ter than Illinois land the reason for
lower rents here Is not apparent. Some
day we shall wake up to find that
good farm lands are out OF the mar
ket The country is growing so fast
IN its urban population-people who
live in cities-that agriculture cannot
Keep up with the increased demand for
products of the soil This fact Is
shown SO clearly in the prices of meats,
corn. oats. etc, that there can be no
question that the coming years will
see still further advance along these
lines and most likely better prices for
wheat

and it may be surmsed under pres
sure When the Register and Leader
calls for an open and above board
campaign against Cmnmins in Iowa 1T
asks for what never has and in the ma
ture of things never will be In Iowa.
The conferences will continue. The
followers of the stand pat banner IN
Iowa must be content to bottle up their
enthusiasm until the conferees have de-
cided upon the precise point to which
they find it necessary or advisable thru
factional exigency to direct It,
Whatever understanding Mr.. Smith
and Senator Allison may have come to
in amy hurried conference that may
have followed the Nonpareil's bold de-
mand following the quiet suggestion
of the Times Republican that Smltn
is an able man, the real point of the
entire imbroslio is that the fight plan
ned over the senatorship is not rro-
Allison but nti-Cummins, The Non
pareil exposed this when 1t stood up on
the slightest provocation to claim AL
lison's place for Smith. The Clarinda
Herald whose editor is one of the clos
est life -long friends of Mr.. BLYTHE eN-
posed it when it called for yolnger
man probably with Lacey in It's own
mind and that of its friend and politic1i
mentor. Both Smith and Lacey have
the inherent and legal right to aspire
and lay claim to the senatorship. None
will deny or decory this but 1t Is well
not to lose sight of the apparent fact
that the men who are tearing hair ami
waiting in the market places over the
present opposition to Allison woull
dump him overheard the instant can

New York Tribune This was due 60
the fact that the company had secured
the volunteer services Of the wives Of
its three most important Pittsburg Of.
ficials. who had resigned household
duties and recreation to stand side by
side with their husbands.
The other evening Mrs. e. p. Saylor,
wife Of the Pittsburg superintendent;
Mrs. n. e. Church, wife Of the Pitts
burg manager, and Mrs. Schiller, wife
of the night chief operator, took
places Mt the vacant keys despite the
protests Of their husbands. The wo-
men were all expert telegraphers be-
fore their marriage and within an
hour had regalned much Of their speed.
They set 4 fast pace for the other op-
orators. and the company soon found
that 1t could guarantee the public
against further delay. All three wo-
men were handling important wires.

COST OF BOYS IN IOWA.
Cedar RnniCs Republican,

Those people who talk about it cost
ing $4,000 to raise" boy are talking
nonsense. The price we believe was
started by some socialist who wanted
to show that it was impossible to
raise" children nowadays. That par
ticular socialist probably cost hardly
more than thirty cents--his opinion. at
least, is not worth more than that.
In Iowa there Is many a farmer who
was never worth more than $4,000 and
whose total earnings never exceeded
$1,000 year who has brought up to
successful manhood six or seven chill
dren, all boys, If it so happened and
in the end he was just as rich and
richer, than when he began We were
told the other day of man. whose
salary was never over $45 month.
who reared a family OF five handsome
daughters all of whom We're well mar
ried and have become successful wives
and mothers In their turn. 1t has
been done and it can be done again, but,
of course. a great deal will depend on
the mothers of the ohildren--they can
hot fly about after the manner of the
social butterflies nor hang about clubs
where they play bridge and other fool
ish things.
We believe we could take twenty
of the most successful and honored men
in Iowa, and show that they did not
cos; their parents $500 all told from
the time they We're born until they were

finances. That is, that they helped to

EXPRESS COMPANIES NEXT



A few days ago the writer received
from Chicago a small package by ex-
press. In size it was about eight inches
square and weighed less than five
pounds. The charges on the package
we're 20 cents. Talk about the railroads
making big profits. what are the ex-
press companies doing? There is no
greater robber in the country today
not excluding the Standard Oil, than
the express companies. nor one that
more directly effects the people The
outrageous charges of the express
companies increases the price OF al
fruits and many of the vegetables used
by the entire community. When we
stop to consider it directly, 1t is ques-
ton whether the express companies are
not in a position to rob the people as
thoroughly as the railroads. The rail-
road companies are in no way response
Bile for the excessive rates charged by
the express companies. The express
companies simply hire the railroads TO
do their hauling and they place the
charge wherever they wish. That they
manage to make it high enough, every
one who is compelled to use the express
for conveying articles, will readily rec
ognize. 1t is strange there has been
such a fight made on the railroad COM
panies and the express companies have
gone Scott free so far. The Iowa legis-
lature at its next meeting will have a
chance TO do some business with this
giant corporation. The question should.
however, be taken up by congress and
the rates AID Indicated by the commits
sioners the same as railroad frelgnt
rates There certainly is no use Jump
ing onto one corporation and allowing
another one to rob you, while You are
doing it to the other While the eH-
press companies are being investigated
it would not be bad idea to look into
the telegraph toll business also. The
public has right to know to what ex-
tent they are being robbed by this cor
poration.
