a NEW THING in POLITICS.

John Temple Graves suggestion to
Mr.. Bryan to the effact that he get out
of the way and let Roosevelt do all the
running for both parties is unique in
politics. That's about all 1t is, how
ever. 1t is a curio, a puzzle picture,
anything amusing and interesting that
you please, good only to talk about, not
to act on. There is about as much
CHARGE for the lion and lamb of Amer
lean politics to unanimously indorse
Roosevelt for another term as for the
Fourth of July to fall on Christmas.
Still, the very oponness of the sug
gestion proves something. 1t shows
that the executive who stands for pop
ular rights can always have a fol-
lowing In all parties 1t shows a new
popular tendency to forget parties for
men and principles No party has
been more partisan than the democ-
racy of the south, no party has been
less progressive. When leader of
the Graves type suggests endorsement
of republican presidential candidate,
new has come into politics.
something that carries a threat to the
system and promise to the people.

BUY MORE, SELL MORE.

The relatively snHiyll proportion OF
American commerce which is conducted
with South America and the unsatis-
factory growth of commerce with that
continent suggest sn inquiry as to
the position of the United States in
comparison with other nations both
as a market for and rs purveyor to the
necessities of that great community of
40 million people. Figures compiled by
the bureau of statistics show that the
commerce OF South America approx
mated " billion dollars per annum
in the latest year for which statistics
are, available $40 millions being i'm
ports and $50 millions exports. South
America finds her Eirgest markets in
four countries-Great Britain, the
United States, Germany, and France
her total exports tn those countries
being ATS millions, or considerably
more than one-half If the total South
American expectations for single
year. 10 tleE JHlleQ states lle south
American countries exported merchants
disc to the value of .l41 millions COM
pared with 145 millions to the United
Kingdom, l07 millions to Germany,
and SO millions to France In the
matter of Souh American imports,
however. the United States occupies a
less important rank, being far behind
Great Britain, little behind Germany,
followed by France, Italy, and Spain in
the order named. or the $40 million
dollars worth of merchandise imported,
162 millions came from the United
Kingdom, 80 millions from Germany, 60
millions from the United States, 50
millions from the United States, SO

from italy Thus, while the United
States receives nearly 20 per cent of
the exports from South America, she
supplies but little over Is per cent

CHICAGO AND IOWA.
lBurlington HaMkeyel


What the average Chicago newspa-
per editor does not know about Iowa
would, in the words OF some previous
do know about this commonwealth and
its affairs it pitifully meager. Judging
from things said and printed by them.
The Chronicle, for instance, speaks in
its issue of yesterday of the Iowa leg
islature having adjourned last week
The manager editor OF another Chi
cago newspaper, in arguing with a
Burlington newspaper man in favor
of his taking their special wire serv-
ices, said: Now we have a private
wire to st. Paul; Burlington is not
far from there. Why not arrange to
tap our cable and get a splendid spe-
cial news service" When the news
paper man Informed him that Burling-
ton was five hundred miles from st.
Paul and almost as far south of Chi
cago s that city was north of 1t. he
seemed somewhat daZed and changed
the argument. Other instances might
be cited.
These odd shortcomings of the bril-
liant men who control the destinies of
the great Chicago newspapers and as
sociations come merely from lack of
interest in Iowa. Those men are busy
with large things of the news world.
and neglect the things that count out
here in Iowa. 1t is no wonder that their
comments on Iowa affairs are often so
biased and unfair-sometimes absurd.
Without studying up they form their
estimation of the state and its people
from the sensational dispatches sent
out to them by industrial correspond
ents, and as a consequence they fail to
understand the people Of the state.
Iowa deserves better treatment from
the Chicago newspaper editors. She
gives them a phenomenal support.
Hundreds of thousands of Chicago
daily papers are taken in Iowa, many
of them of the bulldog or early mail
variety. In return the Iowan gets
nothing but vagueness about it's af-
fairs.
However, the Iowa publishers will
not wish that the Chicago competitors
should wake up to their mistake.
Newspapers in Iowa are growing bet
ter every year. Today they are the best
average newspapers in the world, and
some of them are assuming metropoli-
tan proportions. All have constantly
growing subscription lists, and all
show evidence of prosperity The time
will come and at a not very far distant
day, when Iowa dai1ies will largely fill
the entire wants of the newspaper
reading population of the state, because
of the enterprise and energy now being
put into the business

LIKE sAusAcEs?

The close of the Iowa legislature calls
TO mind the speech of member of the
Illinois legislature Il few years ago.
He was quite old member from the
southern part of the state, and on the
last day of the session he expressed
himself as follows:
L have sat here during this session
and listened to what the members
said: / have voted nearly all of the
time, on every question that l could
understand; / have not made many
speeches, but ! have been In the COM
mttee rooms and have taken part In
all the work that was assigned to me-
1 have always had a great respect for
the law; and it was a proud moment
when ! found that l was elected a
member of this house, where / might
help to make some of the laws that
would benefit my fellow men, | have
come to the end of the session and
have seen how laws are made, ard
come to this conclusions Laws are
like sausages: the less you know about
how they are made. the better you like
them and the more respect you have
for them"

THE VANISHED PASS.

II tell you it, is expensive to be a
progressive republic can" said loyal
Cummins man, iii i. Joking way, the
other day. and he spoke very much OF
truth when he said it, altho he was OF
a broad calibre and did not mean that
the principles were not worth the cost
He was city official and had en-
joyed the possession of railroad pass
which a Cummins legislature had just
made illegal.
However, there are. men all over Iowa
whose loyalty to progressive principles
will not stand the shock of an anti.
pass law. Men hav'a been talking and
acting with progre ssive republicans
either because Of the necessity of doing
that which an overwhelming public
sentiment at home demanded, or be-
cause success seemed easiest to obtain
with that faction. They might have
been local attorney for railroad, To-
cal surgeon, city CIR county officials
enjoying a pass. anil now a Cummins
legislature has destroyed the pass for
everybody. To him it does seem ex-
pensiye to be progressive republican.
and the progressives will find, in the
next campaign, that they have lost
former recruits.
1t is a strange thing in human ma
ture why such value is placed upon
a railroad pass. Legislators who could
not be influenced by money or threats
have long been seduced by the pass.
Now men who do not hesitate to gives5,-
600 to a college, 81 900 to a hospital,
$500 to any public enterprise which
will help town, are actually sore be-
cause the Legislature, in its attempt to
remove the pass as bride, cut off
the pass they had ridden on 10 these
many years, and sent. them to the ticket
window with the common herd.
However, it is in most cases a pass
ing soreness. Most Of the ruffled
feathers will settle Lack because most
of the men who lost their passes know
they ought to lose them, and that the
law is d good one, thu, it nips in places.
Whether or not the. soreness disap-
pears, the free pass has done SO per-

slightly grease their skins. This adds
greatly to their health, but detracts
much from their beauty 1t strikes the
stranger as extremely odd to see hun"
dreds of perfectly naked chickens bask-
ing in the sun or running about. An"
other peculiar feature of the Industry
in Egypt is that the operators on the
incubators do not use thermometers,
but regulate the temperature Of their
ovens by keeping the heat d tritie
greater than that of their own skins.
The Egyptian incubator of today Is an
exact reproduction OF the one In use
thousands of years ago, and in all the
centuries the Egyptian breed of chick
ems has not changed in the least, Not
long since the metal stamp of chick

About Poultry.

(New York Tribune.)
The middle west is the zone Of pro.
duction for that great American bird
the turkey. Chicago is the strategic
point in this trade, and in the last hol-
iday rush nearly 100000 turkeys, val
ued at upward of s1,40O,O00, were
handled in that market. The number Of
Oars required to handle the turkeys
shipped to Chicago for the Thanksgiy-
ing, Christmas and New Years trade
last year, if put together in a string,
would have made train seven miles
long. AS many as $4,000 of these
proud birds were banded in the mar
ket there in a single day.
Twenty years ago a whole carload
of live poultry received from one ship
per was such an unusual transaction
as to call for special mention in the
newspapers, but now a single dealer
may receive dozen carloads in one
consignment and no attention will be
paid to it, One firm recently had an
eszier for four carloads of geese, seven
carloads of live poultry and two car
loads of pigeons. The special car for
live birds is a great saving to the
shipper. A consignment was recently
forwarded from San Francisco to New
York, a distance of 3,245 miles. The
tariff for the use of the car this dis
lance was $40, trifie more than l cent
bird The owner found that his
fowls not only gained enough in weight
during the trip across the continent tn
pay for the cost of the car, but netted
him an additional profit of $S7. The
carload lots of geese come mostly from
Wisconsin and Southern Illinois, the
big shipments of turkeys from Missouri
and Kentucky, and the chickens from
the states which compose the corn
belt"
There is an enormous consumption
Of live poultry and eggs in New York.
The annual receipts show that about
1000 carloads of poultry are received
and consumed in Manhattan, and that
nearly 5000 carloads of eggs are re-
ceiyed there every year. The Jewish
population probably consumes 80 per
cent of the poultry. On an average
Nav York will receive about forty
cars a week. but during the time Of
the Jewish holidays the consumption
frequently RIMS as high as seventy-five

that he would be ungrateful to choose

In the opinion Of the Davenport

resolution could serve would be to be-
fog the situation and, in a mes@1ss by
moral obligation imposed upon the
republicans, because they are in the
