ANTICIPATING HIS END.

The proprietor of a general store in
Pennsylvania town is big good
natured Irishman. He had in his en-
play youth who had been advanced
from utility boy to head clerk. Since
his promotion this youth had several
times asked for an increase of salary,
and each time his request had been
granted. One morning he again ap-
peared at the proprietor's desk and
preferred another request for raise
of $40 a month.
BILL" said the Irishman, II think
pay We pretty we'll already. Why
should give you more?"
WELL" replied Bill, confidently, IT
am your principal help here. know
every detail of the business and feel
pretty sure that you could not get
along without me-"
"Is that SO, Bill?" unused the Irish
man. What do you suppose I'd do,
Bill, # We was to die?"
ooh. in that case suppose you'd
have, to do without me-" responded
Bill, with a crestfallCn air
'Then, Bill" softly continued the
Irishman, Il think ye'd better consid-
er yourself dead"

TO REVISE IOWA RATES.

Sioux City Journal-By unanimous
vote the state board of railroad COM
missioners has decided in favor of a
general revision of the Iowa freight
schedules and classifcations The de.
cision came at the close of hearing
in which the Corn Belt Meat Produce
ers' association presented numerous
grievances relating to existing rates
on live stock. The process of revision
will cover all classifications and SEIZED.
ules and probably will occupy several
months. A reasonable prediction Is
that it will result in lower level of
rates in many classifications.
The present schedules of Iowa
freight rates were adopted in 1889,
and have never been given a general
overhauling since that time. 1t has
been the policy of the commission to
consider specific grievances and to
amend rates individually wherever
such course seemed to be warranted.
Whether anything like a general re-
duction in rates has been brought
about by this process is not clear. The
impression among shippers is that the
average is not materially lower than
when the law was first adopted. It
is well known that the tendency
throughout the country has been to-
ward lower railway freight rates, and
the impression is that Iowa shippers

A PERNIcIous TENDENCY.

New York Tribune.-There is no
more prolific cause of war than quar-
relsome habit of mind. The nation
which persistently thinks Of war and
watches for pretexts for war is peril
ously near the possibility of war
both positively, because Of the mill
tant excitement of such mental opera
lions, and negatively because of the
embarrassments and obstacles thus
presented to the peaceful and
friendly adjustment Of matters
of difference. The worst fea-
ture of last weeks base
less war scare" was that 1t combin-
ed both these positive and negative
qualities Of evil. 1t made directly for
the precipitation of causeless war
by inflaming the American mind with
false impressions of Japan and anger
ing the Japanese with libels upon
them; and at the same time it's whole
tendency was to delay and hinder
these delicate negotiations which were
known to be in progress for the Just
and honorable settlement Of the little
controversy between the two nations.

IOWA PEOPLE ALL OVER.

That the state Of Iowa is well rep
resented all over the union by people
who have left the state and become
permanent residents of other states
is perfectly apparent from the number
of Iowa societies which hold forth in
various states far distant from the
Hawkeye state. For instance in re-
cent issue was an article referring to
the annual meeting of the Iowa soci-
ETY. of New York. This society is large
enough and wealthy enough to have a
swell function at the Waldorf Astoria
the members are of sufficient prom
inence to get Governor Cummins, SEN
ator Dolliver and Secretary Shaw to
be present and deliver addresses. Re-
Gently a similar article was published
in the columns of the Journal with
reference to an Iowa society in Cali
fornia. the wealth and prominence of
whose members was equally great and
still another society of this kind was
mentioned some time ago in the Jour
nal, hailing from another section Of
the west That this state has produc-
ed great many prominent and influ-
entail men is very patent to all who
know anything of the states history,
but great as may be the men produce
ed, they can be no greater than the
state which produced them and there
is plenty of room for them in Iowa.
Does not iowa furnish attractive
enough fields in every pursuit of life?
Why then do we find so many Iowans
in states all over the country? OF
course the residents feel proud of
their fellow natives who go forth from
the state and gain high place on the
ladder in other parts of the country,
but still there will never be SO many
men at the top of the ladder in this
state that there will not be room for
all that the safe can produce. The
Iowa societies are good enough for
those who are compelled TO fall back
on means of this kind, but better yet
is the feeling of. home which goes
thrilling through every native of the
state when he feels that he is still
or once again within the confines Of
the Hawkeye state. Let us then fos-
ter the love of the home state within
the state and not waste any effort on
keeping up Iowa societies in other
states. Let those who are foolish
enough to leave the state either re-
turn to Iowa when their hearts are
hungry and their longings bring them
back again to the bygone days, or CON
tinue to suffer the pangs of homesick-
ness, than which no disease on earth
is more misunderstanding Journal

AN ORGANIZED BOOSTING MOVE
MEN .-.-.

In the organization of the Central
Mississippi Valley league at Quincy
last month movement was inaugur-
ated, which, If given proper support
will become a most powerful agency
for the developing of the resources Of
the Mississippi valley and the upbuild-
ing Of Industrial interests in the terri
tory adjacent to the big river.
The sole purpose of the league is
the exploitation Of the resources Of the
territory embraced within the Missis-
sippi valley and to induce capital and
manufacturers to locate in this section
-to-wit, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Min
nesota, Wisconsin, Southern Michigan,
eastern Kansas, eastern Nebraska and
western Indiana.
1t is the idea that the league having
interested capital and manufacturers
in this section, it will then be up 10
the local organizations to induce them
to locate in their immediate vicinity
according to their advantages and
the inducements that may be offered.
The organization is based on broad
principals and entirely uhselish mo-
tives.
In writing to the Ottumwa CONNER
cial association to interest it in the
movement, w. B. G. Hendricks of Keo-
kuk, secretary of the league says:
"All cities having population of
over 5000 with local commercial or
CARNATIONS are entitled to member
ship. 1t is our desire to enlist all Or
CARNATIONS eligible to membership.
We believe we are living in the most
favored section Of the United States.
We believe the Mississippi valley will
witness the greatest industrial activity
in the next decade that we have ever
seen. We believe the middle west is
destined to become the manufacturing
center of the world, and we desire the
cooperation of all"
Ottumwa had no part in the organ
ization of the league, but there is 10
doubt that it should become identified
with the body and be a sharer in any
benefits that may be derived from an
organized effort to exploit section of
country unsurpassed in natural ad-
vantages.

A BOON FOR FLAT JEWELLERS.

A BOON FOR FLAT JEWELLERS.
There Is joy for The fiat dwellers-
the confirmed kind who think that to
live in a real home with room for a
few flower beds anu perhaps chickens
is uncivilized-in the announcement
that flats, complete in every detail
down to the janitor are to be provided
in transatlantic liners plying between
New York and London. The la carte
restaurant and the elevator has al
ready made it's appearance on the
ocean liners and the fiat will complete
the illusion. There will only be two
flats on each liner, and most of the
passengers will of necessity have to
stand the ordinary cabin fare, but this
will give a touch of exclusiveness to
the fortunate two that draw the flats
and can pay the price.
1t will be just too lovely for any
thing. They will be well forward on
the promenade deck and there will be
a parlor, hall, two bedrooms, bath
and clothes closet. The tenants may
not be able to induce the landlord to
remodel the apartment to suit indivi-
dual tastes, but what of that?
If the shade of Christopher Colum-
bus should encounter Harlem fiat
and janitor on the heels of the elevator
it would perhaps force realization
that the expedition Queen Isabella
financed in discovering America locat-
ed stretch of country that raised a
rather swift and frisky people.

POVERTY OF THE IDLE RICH.

Fremont Tribune.-What ambitious
father doesn't toll with the nope OF
being able to leave his children
enough to make them rich? Perhaps
there are some who do not, but that
is not the rule, we venture to say. Yet
what an insiduous foe is Inherited
wealth to a young man. Look at
Young Thaw. now sitting in felon's
dock in New York, awaiting no more
welcome a verdict than that he is a
murderer or lunatic His family was
rich and he had SO much money to
spend and SO little to do that he did
little but that which he should have
left undone. There is no poverty so
deplorable as that of the lille rich In
dustry and ambition ara required to
81 on in the world. They are abso-
solutely essential to the development
of virile manhood and an enduring
civilization For this reason an inher-
itance tax is commendable 1t has its
foundation in correct principle.
There is only one possible objection
to tit may be too small.

STATES RIGHTS AND COMMON
SENSE

Except in certain cases where the
measures granting certain powers to
the federal government are considered
revolutionary, there is noticeable
healthful tendency in congress to ig-
more the Estates rights" question. Be-
fore ,he days of Interstate commerce,
there was absolute necessity of guard
ing the sovereignty of the different
states. However, this day is passed,
and it is no longer confined to the
state but may be transacted by persons
a thousand miles or more apart, and
the interchange of commodities may
cross hall dozen sovereign states be-
tween the point Of its departure and
Its destination. Because of this 1t is
acknowledged by leading statesmen
that the federal government can far
better oversee the passage of goods
and control it under one competent
and well administered law, than the
six states under six sets of laws, each
one Of which would probably conflict
with the others. The effect of such
conflicting laws is certain to be disas-
trous to commerce and the federal SUI
pervision of interstate business. in the
opinion of leaders of both parties, Is
certain to come. 1t is recognized to
it's fullest extent that the corporation
has come to stay and that it is an out
growth of modern business conditions.
In the formative stage. certain corpor-
ations have been guilty of gross vio-
lations of the law, but these formed a
very small percentage of the whole,
and their punishment under the fed
eral law has been prompt and COM
plete. However, these federal prose
cutions have stirred up the American
people to the belief that all corpora
tions are evil, and drastic state laws
are the result These laws are men
ace to commerce, and also make the
work of the federal government in
finitely more difficult in Furnishing the
piratical business combinations.
