tations, which in 1900 was $l3.37, was
in 1906 s2o41.
r In the matter Of production and man.
ufacture the picture of progress is
equally interesting. Cotton production,
which in 1900 amounted to 155,5o6
bales, had by 1850 reached 1-3 mill
ions: in 1875, 81 millions; in 1900, a
little less than 10 millions and in 1906,
II 1-3 millions. Corn production,
which in 1910 was SIT million bushels,
touched the billion bushel line in 1870,
the 2-billion- bushel mark in 1889, and
In 1906 was 1927, 416,091 bushels, and
may therefore be expected to cross the
S-billion- bushel line in 1907. The sugar
production of the United States. which
amounted to less than $4,000 tons in
1925, 111.O00 tons in 1850. and 27O,-
600 tons in 1900. was in 1906 5S2,414
tons; beet-sugar production, which be-
gan in the Seventies having grown
from 446 tons in 1877 to $500 tons in
1890, S2.736 tons in 1900, and Soo,s17
tons in 1906 Meantime consumption
grew even more rapidly, the total num-
Der of tons of sugar consumed having
been 40612 in 1922 and 2,s64,013 in
1906. and the quantity consumed per
capita, from little less than 9 pounds
in 1882 to little more than 7s pounds
in 1906.
In the great manufacturing indus
tries evidences of progress are equally
apparent The page devoted to this
subject shows that the number of peo-
pie employed in manufacturing has
grown from less than ! million in 1850
to 51s millions in 1905; the wages
paid, from 237 million dollars in 1850
to 2,611 millions in 1905; and the value
Of products. from billion dollars in

PLANT TREES.

Everywhere vast areas Of valuable
woodland are being stripped of their
timber by the demands OF commerce,
and while the supply Of lumber is con-
stantly diminishing the demand and
| the prices are constantly increasing.
The primeval forest is rapidly disap-
| pearing. To secure continuous sup
ply Of timber it must be replaced by
second growth Of the best species and
| the best form in the shortest possible
! time. This can be done by forest man
agenfent; but the supply thus obtained
| must be supplemented very largely by
timber grown in commercial plarita-
tons.
If the tracts Of forest cut over each
Year We're permitted to make a second
growth, a future supply would be pro-.
vided naturally, but this is not gem
orally the case. The Transformation Of
so large percentage Of forest land
| into fields and of nearly as much more,
i thru reckless numbering, into waste
land must eventually reduce the Won
Iderful fertility Of the country, for no
other natural agent is so active soil
builder as the forest. A pure water
supply for large cities and towns and
for the protection of irrigation reser-
voirs requires extensive planting along
streams and canals and on watersheds.
The profits from growing timber are
certain and far-sighted business men
are recognizing the possibilities for
conservative and highly profitable In
vestment in forest plantations. More
and more, railroads and other corpora
tons and farmers turnout the country
are establishing commercial plarita-
tons to supply the timber for their
own needs or for commercial profit.
The Iowa farmer with a triangular
patch or an odd piece Of ground that,
does not fit into the general scheme
of the farm, should plant 1t in fence
post timber. A good fence post brings,
a quarter. Ten years from now it will
bring more Its only competitor is
cement and the multitudinous uses for
cement are certain to make that COM
modify scarce. Plant a few acres OF
fence posts.

MONEY IN DAIRYING.


There is plenty of money in dairying
with good cows and up-to-date meth
DDS, but none with poor cows. So says
Henry Wallace, who is an authority on
all topics connected with farming in
Iowa. He proves that by showing that
in Europe, according to Professor Me-
Kay Of the state agricultural college,
dairymen are prospecting on lands that
are worth all the way from $500 to
$1,000 per acre and they are expected
to pay interest on such values as q
part of the butter cost. How do they
do it? By breeding cows that will
produce an average of almost three
hundred pounds OF butter a year. Less
than half that amount is the Iowa
average. This means that $50 is the
yield in cash, plus salt. In Europe
the yield at the same price (they get
more) is SIS.

following suggests one explanation:
have wondered a. little at the i'm
portance you have given to the Chi
cage, Tribune's recent opposition to
Roosevelt.
Don't you know that Mccormick,
former minister to Russia aud late
minister to France (recalled by
RoosevelD is thru his wife, daughter
of Joseph Medill, large owner of the
Tribune, and that his son, Medill Nc
Cormick (whose wife was the daugh !
ter of Mark Hanpa) is now the editor
in chief of the Tribune. The animus
that the Tribune family feel toward
Roosevelt for cutting short McCor-
mick's diplomatic career, was shown
when the Tribune published the Bel
lamy Storer side of the famous Roose-
velt-Storer correspondence. The Stor-
ers and McCormicks are brothers in
grief.
I have never seen this phase Of the
matter explained, and it is a disagree
able and mean sort of suggestion, but l
can not help thinking of it when see
the Tfibune's anti-Rooseyelt policy
commented on.
The Tribune can do nothing to
change the sentiment of the statesiin
which it circulates. 1t MAY influence
sentiment in other places by creating
a wrong impression as to the prevail
ing tone in the west.
THE west is for Roosevelt or a
Roosevelt man. 1t will be surprising
when the time comes how little there
will be Of the anti Roosevelt move

BOOSTING IN ROCK ISLAND.

s lsftx of the business men of Rock
'ISlxnd who think the future has great
en- Hhings in store for the city met the
other evening at the Rock Island club
and made plans that will bring results
for the, development of Greater
Rock Island. It was decided that a
fund OF s1oO, 900 should be raised i'm
lnediately, and as an earnest of good
intentions those present subscribed
$4,000. That certainly is a good be-
ginning and shows the right kind OF
boosting spirit.
Among the plans suggested tor the
raising of this 100000 fund was one
that each business house in the city
and each established industry should
be assessed, in proportion to its abil-
ity to bear the burden, the 100000
thus, being distributed turnout the
whole city It is believed that no
merchant or other business man who
has the welfare of Rock Island at
heart will refuse to pay his equitable
share of this 100000 fund.
The money SO raised,is to be used In
placing new Industries on a firm

,ditions in the United States from 1900
to the present time in area, population,
production, commerce, circulation,
wealth, INSTRUMENTATION, publica-
tion and education are presented on
the pages of the Statistical Abstract
Of the United States, just issued by
the bureau of. statistics Of the depart
ment OF commerce and labor. The 700
pages Of solid figures, with scarcely a
line Of text discussion other than the
title Of the tables themselves which
from this volume, supply much more
Of actual information. both historical
and as to present conditions, than could
be placed in any other form in eauiva-
lent space.
The pictures Of growth presented by
these columns Of figures are interest
ing and suggestive. While area has
grown from less than million square
miles in 1900 to 3 millions at the pres
ent time, and more than 81 millions If
Alaska be included or about 3A mill
ions If we include the islands, the pop
ulation has grown from 5 millions to
IS millions, and If all Of that now UNI
der the American flag be included, to
nearly 100 millions; while the popula-
ton per square mile in continental
United States has grown from 61s
persons in 1900 to about s in 1850, %
in 1900, and nearly 20 at the present
time.
Wealth, which in 1850 was set down
at Z billions Of dollars, is given at 107
billions in 1904, the last year for which
figures are available; and the per cap
ita wealth, which in 1850 was 1907
was in 1904 $3.50. The public, debt,
which in 1864 was, 1878 million dollars.
is now but 9S4 millions, and the per
capita indebtedness which in 1854 was
$76.s8 is now but $11.46; while the an
nual interest charge, which was then
$4.12 per capita, is now but % cents
per capita. The money in circulation,
which in. 1900 was 26 million dollars.
in 1850 327S millions, and in 1880 973
millions, was. in 1906 2,7s6 millions;
and the per capita circulation, which in
1900 was IS, and in 1850 $12, was in
1906 1892.
Bank deposits, for which no record
is available earlier than in 1875, were
in that year a ,trife over 2 billion dol
lars, in 1900 ~ billions, and in 1905
12A billions. Deposits in savings banks
show complete record from 1920 to

ion dollars, speaking in round terms; in
1850 they had reached 40 millions, in
1875 s24 millions. in 1900 Q 1-3 billions,
and in 1906 3A billions; while the
number of depositors, which in 1920

have been found to be good. SAmong

TESTING THE MULcT Law.

"a
1t will be a wonder if the Iowa
mulct law survives long. 1t was the
child Of compromise, but both par
ents apparently want to send 1t to the
county poor house. And that is a pity,
for, upon the whole. it has been a fairly
good child and is deserving of bet
ter fate.
The liquor dealers do not like It
because its terms are too exacting, all
tho they admit that wherever and
whenever they observe the terms their
business is protected.
The anti-saloon people or some
Of them--do not like the mulct law,
because In some places 1t is not
obeyed, and because they are. OPP
posed to recognizing the legality of the
liquor business. They want it en-
tirely prohibited, at least as far as the
sale Of liquors as beverages.
Heretofore the Iowa courts have sus-
tanned the validity Of the mulct law; It
is reasonable to believe the supreme
court will not revise its decisions. But
other decisions have been had in other
states and new points have been
brought out which afford the ground
upon which some of then anti-saloon
people base their hope for the over
throw Of the mulct law and the sub
stitution of state wide prohibition.
IT the, mulct law is declared uncon-
stitutional the Iowa prohibitory law
will then become Immediately effective.
The revenue of counties and cities
from the mulct tax will cease and

The arrival of Raymond Patterson
of the Chicago Tribune In Des Moines
on his mission of creating antf-Roose-
welt sentiment gives added interest to
a bit Of personal gossip which comes
from an unusually reliable source.

'vocacy of the nomination of Fair
banks. The change was such as to
putt even the most conservative read

deal, and they are to an extent justi-
fed in suspicion that they Will not
get it. Much of the demand for
Roosevelt for third tenn rests on
this suspicion. Promises are not at
par. There is fear of intrigue, and
the fear is Increased by the, estimates
that have been formed of special in
terests more or less embarrassed in
their situation and more or less per-
picked as to the future. Therefore
the public mind Is ripe for extrava-
giant stories OF conspiracy, and 1t will
be poor strategy that does not guard
the party against decimating invasion
upon the confidence Of the rank and
file OF the party membership.
The republican party cannot get
away from the Roosevelt administra-
ton and save its bag and baggage in
the campaign Of 1908. Nothing is
more certain than that. Yet enemies
OF the party seek to make 1t appear
that struggle ds going on within
the party to reverse the party record
and there are many within the party,
moved by factional spirit nerwousdy'
employed on the same line. Repub-
licans fit for responsibility in party
management appreciate the danger
that may arise from this influence,
and 1t is their desire to allay appre-
hension and do SO by removing cause
for it. In the sensible and trust
worthy counsels of the party there
fore, there is agreement that the
ground that has been taken must he
held, and that there must be sincere
effort to go forward, cautiously and
wisely. THERE'S no sound reason
why the republican party should not
present solid front to the assaults
Of the Bryan parity In the campaign
OF next year, and 1t should not be
backward in this preliminary year in
getting itself in shape for that order.
