A MISTAKE IN COOPERATIVE SOCIETIES.

The Farmers Cooperative Shipping
Association, owning at one time fifty
elevators In the state of Kansas, has
voted at a stockholders meeting to cash
in and quit. Business has been exceed
ngIy Improbable and large sized
deficit has appeared In its finances
The event is not altogether displeasing
to the men who are operating elevators
as private enterprises.
Farmers cooperative societies are
pretty sure TO land on the rocks when
they attempt syndicated efforts. Like
cooperative building and loan CONF
pahies, when they branch out and ex-
tend their operations over more than
one community they fail Local build
ing and loan companies are almost
universally success Conducted most
ly by volunteer management at low
expense within the home community
where knowledge as to credits is bound
to be very accurate. they are not dif-
ficult to manage at all.
Likewise with cooperative grain
companies; so long as they attempt
nothing more than "a community effort
in shipping grain to a market center
they seem to flourish When they try
to operate syndicate of elevtors, or
enter the general merchandise bust
ness wherein the problem of personal
management becomes all important,
they go to pieces for the reason that
the prize Of private gain must he pres
ent to command the Capacity essential
to success in managing the enterprise.
Salaried men working solely for the In
terest of the cooperative members do
not succeed There must be soma
strong financial brain at the head OF
things.

There is no doubt that there are re
publcans In Iowa who would urge the
vice presidency on to Cummns for The
one purpose of clearing the field for the
Allison succession, but Ex-Governor
Larrabee makes the situation very clear
when he says that Cummins Intends tc
be a candidate for the Allison sena-
toral succession, yet is nevertheless
entitled TO loud voice in the selection
OF the state delegation to the national
convention, for the reason that he has
been a strong advocate OF Roosevelt
policies and could be depended upon
TO vote Iowa for u Roosevelt man In
all events.
With the delegation at Washington
controlled by the political enemies OF
Cummins, the president has been COM

on several occasions, but there Is no
Cummins will fight for the principles
OF anti-corporate control of politics
upon which Roosevelt is making his
stand. The people OF this state saw a
delegation to national convention
once selected over Cummins opposition
and when 1t landed in Chicago, com
piete power of attorney was handed
over to ]. w. Blythe. general attorney
for the c., b. Il @. railway, who imme-
diately voted Iowa along with such
railroad ridden states as Pennsylvania,
California and Wyoming in opposition
to the tariff plank adopted at Presi-
dent Roosevelt's request. Indignation
ran sol high at home that Cummins
was re-nominated for third term as
governor and legislature was selected
which enacted his entire program OF
reform, ant-pass, no campaign contri-
buttons from corporations. primary
law, etc.
Ex- Governor Larrabee says Cummins
expects to seek the senatorship, but
nevertheless he should head a delesa-
ton to the national convention for the
reason that no man in Iowa stands
more prominently for the principles
which the people admire in Roosevelt's
program. However Mr.. Larrabee
should know that this will never come
about without political struggle. Del
egations to national conventions will
continue to be selected in state con-
ventions.

Ar1i.sALoon LEAGUE Ar WORK.

Prominent citizens who belong to q
lodge or club room which maintains
a buffet for the dispensation of liquors
should not BLAME the county attorneys
in all cases when the grand jury makes
formal request that Illegal sales be
stopped Not long ago the state agent
of the anti-saioon league discovered
that the law was so clear on the sub
ject that he closed up the Elks' bar IN
Des Moines without a struggle. He im-
mediately sent out circulars to county
attorneys turnout Iowa acquainting
them fully with the statutes, reciting In
detail just how to proceed to obtain
evidence as to the Illegal sale of liq-
uors, If any, and then specifically set
ting forth that this lodge or that club
room was selling liquors without a
mulct tax permit. The letter called
upon the county attorney to do his
sworn duty.
If, as in the case Of one county at.
torney whose experience came under
the observation of this newspaper, said
official seemed too deliberate about
moving in the matter a second letter
came from the legal department of the
anti-saloon league asking the county
attorney in terse language why he was
so reluctant to do his duty and notify-
ing him that IL he did not have nerve
enough or disposition to act, the anti
saloon league would send it's emissaries
into the county and bring the matter
before the grand jury without the coun-1
ty attorneys permission. At this juno
ture most county attorneys We're ready
to act.
The plan, on the part of the anti
saloon league, is effectual and operates
with rare good sense. 1t is the bust
ness Of the league to fight the liquor
traffic with. all the law it can COM
mand. 1t is good. fair business for 1T
to crowd the county attorneys into en-
forcing any law that is being violated
The thing that brought the anti saloon
league into disrepute was the policy OF
using detectives to incite and invite
violations of law for the deliberate pur
pose of prosecuting. The same money
and effort put into the anti saloon
league as at present managed, that
has been going into Rankin's campaign
for state marshals will do just as much
good without the aid or consent of the
Iowa legislature.

ABOUT SPRING.
CSioux City Tribune)


"'rhe year is divided into four sea-
sons, spring, summer. autumn and
winter The months of spring are
.jogriiies" of. at least, generation
ago, and, for all we know those of to-
day may be repeating to the credulous
youth the same old fallacy. III so
it is a monumental exhibition OF the
force of momentum, the tendency OF a
statement once put into motion to keep
on moving. II there be country where
there's spring, and there may be, II
is probable that there some prirnevaI
geographer made that division OF the
year and the others have just kept on
repeating it without the least regard to
the facts. Anyhow, however, or
wherever the thing got started there II
stands in the Biographies yet. mis-
educating the young. misleading our
poets, persisting among grown-ups In
spite OF the annual evidence of their
senses. a striking instance of the per-
sistence OF error.
For hereabouts, anyway. there is no
spring and there are no four seasons;
only three, winter. summer and
autumn. Winter begins at Christmas
and ends with freeze In late April
Autumn begins In August and ends at
Christmas. All the rest is summer
We take the shady side Of the street
for four months of the year ard the
sunny side for eight months. We drink
ice water four months and hot drinks
eight. We wear our winter garments
until, some day, we swelter in them
and then we know summer is at hand.
We try to think we have a spring.
When these chilling north winds blow
and send shivers down ones back,
when snow fiurries fill the abr and we
find the ground frozen hard in the
morning, we say that winter ~ only
lingering in the lap of spring. but
we know better. Winter is no lapland-
err. He stays until he Is ready to go
back to the north pole and tften he
Just quits and let's summer in. Spring !!
There Is no spring.
This notion that we have a spring
when we have none has its conse-
quences, some serious, pneumonia, for
instance. brought on by misplaced con-
f1dence In some day when winter Is

torial wastebaskets;a some laughable.
or the latter was what befell an editor
once. There had been two or three
cloudless days in April and gentle
south winds had timidly crept up to
ses If winter had really gone back to
the pole or not. and venturesome robins
and meadow larks and bluebirds were
deluding themselves and mankind that
winter had really quit. All this filed
the editors soul with the JOY of resur-
rection, and he sat down and wrote a
prose poem on spring, pouring into 1t
the joy that filed his heart. And he
read it over and pronounced it good.
and turned it in and went horne and
to bed. And when the paper came Out
the next morning with that exultant
cry of spring. there was on the fiercest
blizzard of the winter. the north wind
bowling and screaming and snow piling
into great windows and the mercury
seeking the shelter of the bulb. And
since that day no editor has dared to
write or poet to sing praises of our
spring.

HURTING A TOWN.
(L4iscomb Leader)

Let The Leader tell you something
that seems TOT us to be harming this
town more than anything voter,
Square Deal" or Fair Play" has
mentioned, and it is something that is
slowly but surely squeezing the hfe
out of more than one town in this
country
1t is the Property Monopolist" that
is harming Liscomb more just now in
a material way. 1t is the men who
buy up every foot Of land that they
can get hold of and then sit down on
it, and refuse to improve it.
Now, please understand that 1t is
not the men who have lots that they
will build on and improve just as soon
as they can, but the men who hold lot
after lot in the best part of town and
who seem to have no further aim than
to raise a good crop Of weeds ON them.
They are the ones who have their
hands on the throat of the town, and
who give it an extra squeeze every
time they refuse a prospective builder
a lot to build on at a reasonable price.
They are the ones who drive away
work for the carpenters, customers
from the stores and lumber yards, tax
payers and school patrons. They are
the ones who own the most real prop
erty and pay the least tax. If the new
town council has the backbone that
1t appears to have it will raise the
assessment on every vacant lot in town
double or treble, and make the man
who is able pay the tax. Then 1t will
send a representative to the county
board and see that it remains at what
it should be when the board meets to
equalize assessments.
Make it so hot for the man who
holds the land and won't improve it
that he will be glad to sell and let
some one else do the improving. Pub
lie opinion can do it better than any
thing else. The general public makes
these lots more and more valuable,
why should it not receive some con-
sideration from the owners Of such
land?

"The highest compliment paid to
Governor Cummins by the standpar

willingness to have him 'shelved' in the
