Six little girls in Sedan have organ

branches all over the United States, not
only of other girls but of boys as well,
and we are inclined in this day it would
not be bad idea if the children made
provision for the admission of their
parents and other older people, cond1-
toned on a promise not to violate the
purposes of the club. The club is the

If Russia wants to court martial

crack at the grand dukes and grand

brought on the war, instead OF
shooting the admirals- who were out

Al important recommendation in
penology is made in the message. 1t
is that trial judges be given the right
to grant paroles, in order that they
may have power to pronounce SEN
tence upon offenders and then suspend
the sentences if they think conditions
warrant it. At present if an offender
is found guilty the Judge must send
him to prison. no matter what ex-
tenuating circumstances there may be.
Frequently this leads TO the acquittal
of guilty persons simply because the
jury does not believe they ought to be
punished as they must be punished at

PROSPERITY, TIGHT MONEY.
REACTION.

Money has been tight in the east all
summer and is getting more tight.
Prosperity has given every concern so
much to do that it needed to borrow
more money and when everybody went
after loans the demand exceeded the
supply of loanable funds. Then the big
firms in the east offered to sell their
notes in the west. They began at five
per cent, then five and half, finally
they We're willing to pay six and three
quarters per cent interest. This bid
up the rate in the west and every
dollars worth of this paper bought by
western banks ties up that much of the
loanable funds of the western country.
Business has been so tremendous that
there are not loanable monies enough
to handle it. The result is curtailment.
We have reached high point A re-
action in business is both healthful and
inevitable. The grain markets already
tell us of short crop. There will not
be so much wealth produced from the
land this year and hence not so much
business for the men and railroads who
handle the crops. The men who can't
increase their borrowing will have to
decrease their business which means to
employ less men. This all produces re-
action.
1t is we'll. We can't go up hill with
prices forever. We would soon arrive
at attitudes in which we could not live.
Having gone up hill for time we ought
to be glad of the opportunity to coast
down hill for awile. This does not
mean a leap into some chasm of panic
and hard times but it means decline
to less business lower prices and easier
money. Men everywhere who employ
labor will welcome less business, an
easier labor market and more stability
to costs than the past three years have
given. Let's have the reaction. We
can't drive on the dead run all of the
way -Marshalltown Times-Republican

THE NEW PRIMARY LAW.

The study of the new primary law is
occupying the attention of some who
have reason to believe that they will be
more or less interested in it's operation
before the next primary election takes
place. The law provides that the cleo
tion shall take place on the first Tues
day after the first Monday in June
1908, and biennially thereafter. A
month prior to the election the nomina-
ton papers must be on file, which
means that the candidate must begin
securing the territory for signatures to
their petitions some time before that.
A candidate for the United States senate
or for a state office must secure the
names of at least per cent of the
voters of the party, as shown by the
returns of the last general election of
such candidates in each of at least ten
counties in the state, and in the aggre-
gate not less than one-half of 1 per cent
of the total vote of his party in the
state, as shown by the last general
election. A candidate for congress, dis
trict elector or senator in the general
assembly in districts composed of more
than one county must secure the names
of at least 2 per cent of the voters of
his party in at least one-half of the
counties of his district, and in the ag
gregate not less than one per cent of
the total vote of his party in the dis
trict. For an office to be filled by the
voters of county at least 2 per cent of
the party vote is required as signers of
the nomination papers by the candidate.
Each signer of nomination shall sign
but one paper.
For the first election there will be
no record to the party utilization of the
voter, and upon approaching the booth
he will declare such utilization by asking
for the ballot of his party. If he is
challenged, the judges will determine
his qualifications. When he votes, his
utilization will be recorded and placed
on file with the auditor. In order to
change his position the voter is requir-
ed to certify his intention to the county
auditor at least ten days before the
next primary election. This provision
of the law will not be effective at the
first election, the auditor having no
record

FIGHT IN EIGHTH DISTRICT.

According to late Des Moines
special the Marshalltown Times-Repub-
lican says: Information is received to
the effect that the Eighth congressional
district democrats are giving some little
attention at this time to congressional
affairs. With no republican in the race
against Hepburn except Smith, of Mt.
Ayr, they believe Hepburn is sure to be
renominated by the republicans and in
this see their opportunity.
They saw the same opportunity last
year and were sure that with Claude
r. Porter they could have defeated
Hepburn at the polls, but Porter went
after strange gods in the shape of a
visionary chance to be elected governor
and the democrats did nothing. There
is revived talk among democrats OF
nominating Porter for congress. Again
among other democrats it is understood
There is opposition tu Porter because of
the fact that he dropped what they
thought was sure thing last time for
an empty honor.
There will be some little trouble the
coming campaign in uniting on Porter
according to the present indications.
There is talk of Tom Maxwell, of Cres-
ton, and E. ]. Sankey, of Leon. 1t is the
declaration of democrats that in the COM
ing campaign they purpose to unite on a
strong man and make the effort Of their
lives to defeat Hepburn. They claim
that Hepburn is nearly as old as Allison
and that there is as much reason for re-
firing him."

A DEMOCRAT WHO DOES THINGS

Among those who are being discussed
as likely to be considered for the demo-
cratic nomination for President is Ro-
bert BroadnaN Glenn, governor OF North
Carolina, who has become prominently
before the country within the past
month or two by reason of his contro-
versy with Judge Pritchard over the
enforcement of the North Carolina rail
road rate laws. He was born on farm
in Rockingham county, N. c., in August,
1854, and is a member of distinguish
ed family, and received classical edu-
cation. Having spent three years at
Davidson college and two years at the
University of Virginia, he began the
study of the law in 1875, under Judge
Richmond Pearson. In 1877 he was adj
mitted to the bar and soon afterwards
got married and settled at Danbury, in
Stoken county, where he practiced his
profession for seven years. He then
moved to Winston and formed part
nership with Clement Manly. In 1881
he was sent to the state legislature.
In 1885 he was elected solicitor of the
Ninth judicial district of North Caro-
lima, and 1898 he was appointed by
PRECEDENT Cleveland to the office Of dis
trict attorney for the western district
of North Carolina. In 1894 he was
elected governor of the state. He was
Cleveland elector in 1884, 1888 and
1892. He is regarded as a great lawyer
and is devoted to his profession. He
has never been candidate for congress.
AS Governor Glenn succeeded in COM
polling the southern railway to obey
the laws of North Carolina, in spite OF
the interference of the former attorney
of that corporation, who is now feder-
al circuit Judge, he has won the plau-
dts of all men who favor stricter reg
ulation of railroads, and that alone
would make him an available demo
cratic candidate for any position that
his countrymen may select him for.

PROGRESSION.

In 1884 Theodore Roosevelt was a
radical free trader and one Of the lead
ing members of the Free Trade League.
In 1904 he had progressed" until he
dubbed as "closet philosophers those
who denounced the iniquities of the
protective tariff. A little later he cut
out of his message reference to the
tariff because the "standpatters' so adj
vised, and for three years last past he
has utterly ignored the tariff in all of
his public and official utterances.
At this rate of progression" towards
tariff reform how long will it be ere the
tariff schedules are revised in the in
terests of the people who foot the bills?
