kindly to it. This form of Chautau-
qua will never become public need In
Iowa. Things that are really dear to
the people. things that make deeper
Impression and that gain firm hold
upon a community, are not arranged
in this fashion. The chautauqua that
has real hold upon the people must of
necessity be home institution. 1t is
financed at home. and the greater the
number of people are directly inter-
ested the surer the success.
And then the financial end is not the
principal end of the chautauqua.
This summer school has grown very
dear to the people in many sections of
the state. 1t means more to them
than they would care to admit to any
one. and it will appear as something
strongly akin to sacrilege, at least so
far as the finer spirits, as the more de-
voted souls, are concerned, II there
should be chautauquas turned loose
upon the state in competition with the
home article, that will SAVIOR more of
the sawdust ring than Of the old-fash-
Toned chautauquas, which at least, so
far as a very handsome minority Is
concerned pursues other aims and has
other purposes in view, than merely
cleaning UP a certain amount of money
during the season.

THE DAM AT the OUTLET.

Baron Won Sternberg is on the way to
this country to negotiate changes In
the tariff existing between Germany
and the United States. What these
changes as finally agreed upon may he
is entirely problematical. II they
shall be such as to open the German
market to American hogs and cattle
the farmers and stockraisers of the
corn country might we'll rejoice. But,
1t must be confessed, there seems no
immediate prospect of such q cansum-
nation. From present appearances
there is little reason to expect that tar
iff schedules at present SO acceptable
to certain interests will be scaled down
to the advantage of the meat producers
and the general advantage OF the coun-
try at large.
But if this might be, what an outlet for
surplus American pork, beef and live
stock would me opened On the high
priced land of Germany only a limited
number of live stock can be produced,
and in that country it is impossible TO
produce anything like the aumber or
cattle, hogs and sheep req lired, ana
that, of course, is the reason that meat
values are so high. According to the
consular report, as regards oxen and
bulls. the prices at the beginning Of
January on the Berlin market ranged
from 1856 to i$10.47 per 1902 lbs III
1903, and from S6.43 to 1891 in 1907.
The movements OF heifers and cows
closely followed those of oxeniand bulls.
In the ease of calves the price expert
enced an unusually strong Increase,
rising from range of $685. TO 1888 In
1903, to $6.1s to $16.1S in 1907. The
price Of mutton rose from $5.71 TO
1904 in 1908, to s5.95 to 1852 in 1907.
At the beginning Of 1903 the live weight
Of pork was $500 to $14.51, while in
1907 1t increased to 1887 to s14.75.
This Increase in meats not only pre-
vailed in Berlin, but in Hamburg and
in other cities. a
The German people need our meats.
The American producer needs the mar
set. What holds them apart?

The LAST sTEP the SHORT STEP.

Less than q year ago probably no,
500 persons out OF Iowa's Two and a
quarter millions had the slightest
knowledge of Dolphin NJ Delmas. Out
side of the legal profession he was
scarcely known east of the Rocky
mountains. The last six months have
seen Mr.. Delnas step from compare
lively an unknown position 10 the van
of the great trial lawyers of the United
States. The last step to fame and
fortune is always the short one, but
most men have struggled and stumbled
a long and weary way in the dark be-
fore they starbd in the glare of the
spot light
Doubtless back where Delnas was
barefoot, freckled boy. a half century
ago, there are old men who are proud,
they went to school with him. and
Probably many of the older ones still
linger to wonder how that 'Delmas
boy" ever attained distinction when
they were convinced he would never
amount to anything" Certainly some
of the failures he left behind him on
his way from the beginnings of his
legal career to it's triumph are recall
ing that Delnas always had all the
luck. while themselves were always
unlucky.
None of this minimizes Dellnas sue
cess. He won because he ran. The in
stances where the four-fusher wins
are the exceptions that prove the rule
that men who succeed deserve success.
Not all who lose have deserved failure,
many a losing fight has been carried OH
to the last gasp with supreme courage
and unfaltering effort, but the man who
takes advantage of high opportunity
has grown to fit his chance when it
comes. This law is as certain as gravi-
tation.

man who does it is pretty sure to bel

the part of the public. If it passes, the
experiment OF corporation regulation
is in way to fair trial by which
it must stand or fail. The principa;
provisions of the bill as outlined by
Frederick Palmer for Golfers are as
follows:
New York state is divided into two
districts with a commission in each
which has unprecedented power.
Either can order devices changes
IN equipment or in regulations of en-
ployes considered necessary for the
passengers safety. examine all papers,
records and books of any person or
company engaged in public service.
Its consent is necessary to all fran
chises. capitalizations, issues Of stocks
and bonds, leases or trainers, and
mergers
1t controls train schedules, fixes new
rates for transportation of freight or
passengers or for gas or electric light
when the old are found unjust; sets the
standard of electric voltage and gas
purity.
Its offices are open from 3 a. m. to
II p. m. for the hearing and inces;iga
ton of public complaints. When num-
Der of cars and the amount of motive
power are inadequate. it can order an
adequate increase as well as repairs
and improvements and extra sidings
where the demand warrants them
nmpartiality to, shippers is assured.
Freight bulks shall not be broken en-
route. No matter how many roads it
passes over. consignment must go
continuously to its destination. No
road shall have an advantage over an
other on any road in the transfer of
thru freight.
Any action brought in the courts By
the commission against a corporation
must have precedence over all civil
cases except those concerning elections
This puts an end to legal delay
For every failure to comply with the
law or the rulings of the commission,
the limit of fine for railroads and street
car lines Is 5000, for gas and electric
$1,000 Each succeeding
day of non com pliance shall count as a
separate soffense. Thus disobedience
would not pay. 1t might cost $150,Oo0
q month.

The marshal at Nextown wanted a

landlord, and confidentially admitted
that she lived there but he didn't. And
about noon the deputy sheriff and
somebody drove into town and had lots
of business the curious town-dwellers
could not get on to. All of which ex-
cited our curiosity very much and
caused much comment on the chances
some people take.
There has been much praise given
the legislature for their creditable work
in Des .Moines this winter. But no

anti-pass bill as amended and passed.
The one lawyer and one doctor excep-
ton stirred up more talk from all
sources than anything before dis
cussed, and the representatives and
senators that voted for it have much
to explain to their constituents. For

legislation were especially eloquent,
