TWO SUICIDES.

Yesterdays Times-Republican in
parallel columns told two stories. one
was of a banker who had wrecked his
own and the fortunes of others who
trusted him and at the end turned
a pistol to his head and wiped out
his moral deficit SO far as he is con-
cerned with this world and it's deficits
The other was of a a who had died
at the age of ninety, worth more than
a million, who had never ridden on Il
railway train, never eaten at a res
taurant or hotel, never voted or smoked,
never spent a cent for car fare,
never worn decent clothing, attended a
play. never parted with money in
charity or done anything but scrape
pennies together and pile them into a
column 40 miles high. All his Ion
lifetime had been devoted to the meth
DDS and manners of a miser. He died
at last and the pennies he piled up
will topple down to be scrambled for.
Both were suicides. If n was not
as culpable as the other in one way,
he took the life that had been given
him as an opportunity and wasted
killed it as completely as no he a
destroyed it with powder or poison.
Back of the banker without doubt are
many things thai helped the public
and individuals at his own
expense, and to the expenditure of life
for others. Otherwise he could not
have held enough Of public confidence
to be a bank wrecker. The other man
seems to have been purely an adding
machine. What human impulses he
had he repressed. What desires to-
ward brotherhood that he may have
known he strangled. He did not live.
His existence was a long suicide.
1t is Christmas time. A good time
to think over life and figure out how
much of it is suicide. What shall 1t
profit a man to pile a column OF pennies
to the skies if he piles them on his
own soul and buries the best OF lie
under them?

not on the verge of pauperization be-
cause. the water has been squeezed Out
of the SPECTATORS market. Mr.. Erwin,
president of the Lord & Thornas con-
Germ, and in a position to gather sta
tistical information of a reliable and
general character, has made 1T his bus
mess to collect from agricultural
Journals over the country their views
and the information in their posses
sion.
In Iowa, Wallace's Farmer reports a
corn crop of 800, 900, 900 bushels, high in
price. A better hay crop than was ex-
pected is bringing good prices. and the
oat crop is good. The Fruit Grower,
st. Joseph, Mo-, reports a better corn
crop than Iowa has seen in many a
day. was harvested.
From the northwest comes the report
~ L. NI;-, - VOLTS ENo rrn Stock and
Home that instead of some of the Min
nesota elevators closing, leaving the
farmers without cash, the actual facts
are that 1000, 900 more bushels of
grain were marketed in Minneapolis up
to Nov. Is than had been sold at the
same market up to the same dat a
year ago. Prices averaged 40 per cent
higher.
The Dakota Farmer reports business
conditions in the Dakotas better than
ever before. South Dakota produced
SIS, 900, 900 more crops in 1907 than in
1905. The latest complete figures, TAX
en- September 1, show bank deposits in
South Dakota of s57, 769, 900, or $12,-
72s,OO0 more than the year before.
The Nebraska Farmer reports the
hay crop valued at 5000, 900, the
largest ever produced in the state, and
a total value Of $170,0 900, 900 on the
eight principal crops, only $4,000,OOO
behind 1906, Nebraska's banner year.
According to the editor of the Dali
las Farm and Ranch, Texas produced
this year more than 5000, 600, 900 in cot
ton and cotton products, 500, $1,000 in
corn, s12o.00o,O 900 in live stock, dairy.
and poultry products, and more than
$50, 900, 900 worth Of miscellaneous
agricultural products. Thus the total
contribution of the Texas farmer to
the wealth of the country this year is
more than $780, 900, 1000.
Kansas looms up as one Of the gl-
gantic business centers, with the enor-
NOUS amount of 5000, 600, 900 worth of
grain and other products ready for
market and s165, 900, 900 in the banks
with which to move the crops. Kansas
farmers never have known such a crop
or such large bank rolls.

The state Of Washington is among
the most fortunate. In the Inland EN-
pire, which is 1875, 900 square miles
with Spokane as the center, a $4,000
900 wheat crop, a $14, 100000 apple
crop, a $4,000, 900 dairy output, a $14.,-
600, 900 live stock and poultry business.
together with lumber and mining IN
~terests swell the total output for the
year to $12S, 000, 900. The population o!
this state is 500, 900, which leaves an
average of more than $1,000 to each
family, or S157.67 for each person.
These are representative of replies
too numerous to be given space here.
From New York, from the southern
states, from wisconsin, Illinois and In
diana, the answer is of prosperous
crops and people. Unusual prosperity
is reported from western Canada. The
grain movement is breaking all rec
ords and prices are 40 per cent higher
than last year. The railroads nave
laid in coal and the Dominion govern
ment has arranged to loan money to
the banks for the movement of the
crop. 1t is hard to see hard times in

A HINT FOR IoHNNy,s FATHER.

A little newsboy in a neighboring
icty applied for clothing to a humane
officer who had on hand a pretty fair
assortment Of the sweaters, knicker-
bociers, etc, that make glad the heart
of the average boy and keep his body
from the chilling blasts. She selected
an excellent outfit but he would lave
none of it. A pair of overalls and 81
jumper of blue denims had taken his
eye and the boy insisted that these
and only these would satisfy him. He
got them sizes too large and a lu-
%dicrously odd little fellow is selling
newspaper in "rowdies' on the street
corner 1t developed that the only
friend the lad had is a Goa hauler and
he wanted to dress and look like his
friend. So the oyeralls instead of the
natty knickerbockers and a weater
Now here Is a hint for the parents
of every boy. Boys are very much
alike ~instinctively whether they sell
papers or ride to dancing school in
automobiles. They copy from their
friends and the men who notice them.
Few of us fail to remember the heroes
of our boyhood. They were not always
what they ought to be as later ex-
perience and more accurate knowledge
has since revealed to us but they were
good to boys and had many qualities.
Else they must have failed Of hero
worship.
There vas that hunting, trapping,
lazy fellow who lived in a squatter's
cabin in the woods and parted with his
wife because she refused to cook
muskrat and insisted on an OCCASION
al piece of beef or pork. But he was
the best wrestler in the country and
his craftsmanship was deadly. Many a
pretty good little boy sneaked off on
Saturday to go the rounds of his traps
with the squatter. There wa the lou
and blasphemous atheist who
held forth wherever he could find an
audience. 1t was a current under
standing that he was smart. The
boys believed and hung on his bias
phemies with a tingling wonderment
not unmixed with fear, and atheism
grew and fourished among the boys.
elders listened to him, said he
was Smart He took a heroic posi-
ton, a pretty Ajax defying the light
nings of the creator. Older ones lis
tened with disgust and amusement.
The boys We're not so discriminative.
It doesn't take much to make a hero
for a small boy. Almost anybody is
good enough unless some one better
is at hand. The c%oalhauler that claims
the little newshoy's. fidelity may be all
that the little fellow fancies him. A
coal hauler is as good as the average
millionaire, and the some, but the
case is a pointer to Johnny's pa that
his boy is certain to have his heroes
and that a little help in their selection
would be in the line Of parental inter-
est and responsibility.

Strawpile

ciated by one who is travelling much
over the state and Is thinking espect-
ally about these things.
AT various points in the state q dis
ease has made its appearance among
hogs which has caused some loss and
much apprehension on the part Of hog
~raisers and those who have contem-
plated going extensively into the bust
ness. The disease is comparatively a
new one. 1t is known to be caused by
a specific germ which is found in the
litter and in everything with which
diseased animals come into contact.
The special business of this germ
seems to be to cause gangrene. In
nursing the little pigs irritate the nip
pie of the mother. The infiamed places
are invaded by the germ and the little
ones then become infected from the
mother.
1.-The first thing usually noticed is in
the small pigs. which become weak
and emaciated. Examination of the
mouth reveals the presence Of large.
sloughing areas; often the teeth fall
out. In some cases there will be a
cavity extending thru the snout or the
lower jaw. From here the germ often
invades the intestinal tract, causing
ulcers which perforate the bowels.
The disease is found distributed owe
the state to such an extent that local
quarantine laws seem of little avail.
The ~perplexing part Of it is that it is
often associated with hog cholera and
the report to this effect has given us
an unenviable reputation. The disease,
when not associated with hog cholera,
can be checked. In almost every case
the farmer sits down and does moth
ing. In a few cases good money is
paid out for quack nostrums. This
disease has become a very serious mat
ter, but does not necessarily menace
the hog industry. Lethargy, combined
with not knowing how, has in most
instances resulted in the farmer losing
all his small pigs and many Of The
large ones. In the vicinity of Fort
Collins there is evidence Of this dis
ease. and in a few instances 1t Is
combined with cholera. The following
steps are advisable: If your hogs are
healthy, establish a quarantine. Be
! careful about bringing in any I'M
healthy animals and do not allow your
neighbor to bring the infection in on
his boots or come there with breeding
animals. If the disease is already
with you, get busy.
"In the first place, kill all animals
that are badly affected; then take
away all the healthy animals and put
them on healthy ground by themselves.
Disinfect the premises by burning all
refuse. Use ~whitewash, zenoleum,
carbolic acid, and other disinfectants
freely. And, most important of all,
pick up the little pigs Inc dip them in
a tub containing a solution of potas-
SUM permanganate, one ounce to a
gallon Of water. Watch the mothers
carefully and see that the little ones
are not in danger of infection from
nursing. Animals with this disease
will not be passed for food by the
local food inspectors. Therefore it
behooves the butchers to be on their
guard in purchasing hogs for the
hIOck."

A New Hog Disease.

In a recent interview Dr.. Geo. II.
Glover, head Of the department of vet
Urinary science of the Colorado Agrl-
cultural College at Fort Collins, fur
nishes the following timely advice to
Colorado hog raisers:
"The raising of hogs promises to be
one of the great industries of Colora-
do. 1t Ices not take long to get a
good-sized herd Of hogs; it often takes
less time to get rid of them, II any
one or two or three diseases gets
among them. Colorado has been pic
tured as having ideal conditions Tor
raising hogs. 1t has also been argued
that in this climate, for several rea-
O. we need never expect the dire
consequences of germ diseases thai
have been such a menace to the hog
industry in the eastern states. Disease
has always followed in the wake OF
large armies, both in the human and
in live stock. So it is with all species
of animals. If you get too many chick
ems together in crowded quarters. some
serious disease is almost certain to de-
velop. The hog industry in Colorado
has been much encouraged. The extent
to which this industry has grown In

A WORD PERSONAL.
(Register and Leader)

The Webster City Graphic Herald,
a democratic newspaper, publishes on
it's front page under a scare head the
following statement, which is repeated
with mild endorsement by the Web
ster City lNreeman-Tribune:
1t is rumored and generally believed
by those in the inside, that the edi-
torial columns of The Register and
Leader are sold to Blythe and his
crowd for a money consideration. The
owner of The Register and leader
finds a debt of about $4,000, or some
very large sum, kindly taken are of
by the Allison crowd, and as a return
for this extraordinary kindness the
policy of that paper is to be turned
over to the support Of Allison. Some
things in the last few days show signs
that, the editorial policy of the paper
has taken a high dive and gone owe
to the Philistines. This is from a
democratic source, but it is believed
to be the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth. If this is true,
what will happen to the circulation of
The Register and Leader in the next
sixty and ninety days? The progress
sives will drop it as a red hot iron,
and an indignant public will show the
men who love money more tina princi-
Piles that the great reading public of
Iowa is not with them. Watch and
see.
The Register and Leader does not
to dissect this amazing libel
the i%nstigation of. which it will not be
hard to guess, when it is noted that
it appears in Webster City.
The Register and Leader has labored
to little purpose if it's readers have not
by this time discovered that it does
it's own thinking n that its proprie-
tors have no mercenary motive in
the conduct of a newspaper that is in
position to be and that ought to be
a power for good g ,vernment and
the square deal in Iowa.
1t is amazing that any newspaper in
Iowa should be willing to open their
| columns to such a charge as this,
false in detail, false as a. whole, and
false in every implication, a peni-
Tertiary offense if The Register and
Leader chose to prosecute. The news
papers of Iowa perhaps do not owe
much to each other. But they foul
their own nest when they maliciously
assail newspaper integrity. Ii the

could injure The Register and Leader
as much as they hope they would still
injure themselves more.
