are agreed that some legislation IL

are agreed that some legislation IL
needed. Neither, however, believes that
any action will be taken at this session
because of the pressure OF unfinished
business and the necessity for getting
the big appropriation bills out OF the
way before adjournment in March.
Such bill will have the undoubted
support OF all the reputable mining en-
terprises In the country. The reputable
enterprises have suffered vastly by the
unprincipled actions of INSCRIPTIONS
promoters. Under the existing laws 1t
is impossible for either the bona ffde
mining man or the defrauded investor
to take action against this class OF
gentry, for trading on the regulations
OF the big strikes made by such mines
as are real producers. 1t is hoped that
the next congress will remedy this con-
dition of affairs, placing the mining in
dustry on the same plane as that of
agriculture. Government economists
long have recognized that the nations
wealth Is in its soil, and IL good crops
insure prosperity there is every reason
to believe that sane and healthful
supervision of the mining industry
will lend further insurance. The ulti-
mate object Of the friends OF federal
regulation is to have the mining in
dustry looked after by a regular de-
partment, such as now gives it's entire
attention to the needs OF agriculture

KICKING ON IOWA.
(Guthrie Guthrian.l

That was fine lemon. yes a whole
sack full that democratic editor Dan
Brown Of the Panora Patriot handed
that Colorado fellow late of Guthrie
Center. He came here on a visit, on
his return he gave vent to his feel
ings about Iowa mud and climate.
There are more of him. The combin-
alton Of Iowa sweat, mud and CHM
ate, made it possible for such to go to
other climates and live at ease.
This class get out on the streets, yes,
on the house tops, and rail and rant
against the mail order houses and
those who are so foolish and blind to
their interests, "the railers interests"
az to patronize such concerns. We are
advised to patronize home institutions,
to build up. the town and there by
enhance the value of our farms. But
as soon as these chief howlers amass
competency, they forget all about
home interests, take the money they
have accumulated here, and go to some
boom locality and speculate on the re-
suits of the Drawn, brain, mud and
climate of home institutions. II they
are so concerned about home matters
why don't they invest their surplus
cash at home, build up home indus
tries and give employment to labor.
This railing is SO per cent unadulter-
ated selfishness, the other one per
cent, the echo we get in the newspap-
ers is pure rot.

THE IOWA LYNCH1NG.
(Grinnell Herald)

The lynching Of the man who had
murdered his wife and stepson at
Charles City Wednesday night is one
of the worst disgraces and most unfor-
tunate events in the history of the
state. 1t shows how the mob spirit
has ceased to be southern institu-
ton and is working its insidious way
into our more conservative north. It
should be condemned by every good
citizen in strongest terms. It is not
to be justified on the grounds that
the victim got no more than he de-
served or that one man who should
have been hung escaped. The point is
that lynching always defeats its own
ends. It provokes murder rather
than checking it. It breeds contempt
for law and when mob law once gets
sway no one is safe. 1t loosens the
bonds of law and order and in its
final analysis is anarchy. Every man
who condones or excuses 1t, may be
laying his own community open to
such terrible disgrace and encourage
ing something which is bound to re-
act with terrible consequences on him
and his family 1t is for our own
sakes that we plead for condemnation
of this act-not for the sake Of the
poor, miserable wretch who was
hanged.

A BOON DO R[BA|ERS
Opponents of Reciprocal De-
murrage Plan Says It's a
Subtertuge
REMEDY WORSE THAN DISEASE
Both Sides to Fight Over Measure
Trying to Secure Presidents Sup
port-contest Between Largo and
Small shippers-Prssent Railway
Situation.

Washington. Jan. 14.-This week
there Is to be campaign at the white
house between those favoring recip-
rocal demurrage law as a cure for car
shortage and those opposed to the
same. 1t Is the desire of each side to
enlist the aid of the president and each
will ask him to go to the length OF
sending special message to congress.
Those favoring reciprocal demurrage
will be the committee appointed by the
recent reciprocal demurrage convention
at Chicago Of which Victor H. Beck
man of Seattle is chairman. Mr.. Beck
man is now here and has arranged for
an audience with the president tor his
committee for next Wednesday morn
ing. He has 1000 photographs illus
trating the effects of car shortage on
business, and will attempt to show that
car shortage is driving many prosper
Gus concerns to ruin.
On the other hand, some Of the great
est railroads, while admitting all that
is charged about the effect Of car
shortage, argue that reciprocal demur-
rage will prove remedy worse than
the disease. These roads. which are
not in the Standard Oil combine. con-
tend that under reciprocal demur-
rage law 1t would be the simplest
thing in the world for q large ship
per, whom the road wanted to favor.
to order cars under circumstances with
which no road could comply. and claim
and receive demurrage in sufficient
amount to have the Identical effect OF
the outrageous rebates by means OF
which the Standard Oil monopoly was
built up and all its competitors crush
ed. It is further contended that the
transaction would be fully inside any
law that could be drawn.
The smaller shipper would receive
his cars promptly, but never any de-
murrage, and thus the effect upon his
business would be the same as tho his
big competitor was receiving a rebate
under any Of the old rebate devices.
1t is becoming apparent to anyone
following the work Of the interstate
commerce commission that the railroad
interests Of the country have rapidly
crystallized into two camps, one led
by the Vanderbilt-Morgan combination
and the other by the Standard Oil
Hartman outfit. and that this recipro-
cal demurrage contest Is only one Of
many which will have to take place
before the question of supremacy Is
settled. There is already evidence that
these two groups are taking part in the
next presidential campaign, and that
they are preparing to fight over the
nomination in each party.

MORE PAY FOR ENGINEERS.
Latter Practically Decide to Abandon
Eiqht. Hour Qay Demand.

Eight Hour Day Demand.
Chicago, Jan. 12.-Western railroads
have decided upon increases in the
wages OF engineers which will aggre-
gate between $5,000,000 and $6,OO0,00o
annually upon all railroads west Of
Chicago.
negotiations between the head of the
brotherhood and committee of en-
gineers and commission representing
all of the roads. The engineers have
practically decided to abandon their
demand for an eight hour day, which
the railroad men declare is not an eight
hour day, and have also abandoned
their original position regarding over
time and sight tests.
The wage increase covers both pas
senger and freight engineers as well as
yard and terminal engineers and will
affect many thousand men in all the
madam border to the gulf and west to
the Pacific coast. On passenger en-
gines, the increase will be and IL
cents per 100 miles. The method of
computing overtime for both freight
and passenger engineemen will remain
the same.
Engineers making more than 100
miles will receive, pay pro rata. The
freight men are allowed ten hours in
which to make their 100 miles, and at
the end Of ten hours they are credited
with having run 100 miles. For ev-
cry hour they are on the road in ex-
nf 20. liz,
for 10 miles.
The greatest increase comes to the
men on yard and terminal engines, who
will receive between SO and Is cents
per day increase.

GAY FLIGHT IN BALLOON.

New York Ae.onauts shouted New

Upon the arr val In st. Louis Of J.
G. Mccoy and Alan r. Hawley from
Pearl, Ill, Mr.. !dcCoy gave the follow
ing interesting description Of the trip
in the balloon Orient, made on New
Years day, say, st. Louis dispatch:
1--WE passed over st. Louis at an alti-
tude of about q thousand feet. Soon
afterward we ascended. above the
clouds and remained there for some
time. Half an hour after our start we
crossed the Missouri river. We then
ascended to an altitude Of 1900 feet
and for two hours hung between upper
and lower strata of clouds. When we
finally let out some gas and descended
below the clouds we were surprised to
learn that we had crossed the Missis-
sippi river and we're. over Illinois, how
eling above Calhoun county. We were
near enough to the earth to make In
quirles of q party Of men who were
clearing timber They told us that we
were then about twelve miles south of
Pearl, the nearest railroad station. We
concluded to remain In the air half an
hour longer ard drifted toward the
railroad.
along the Journey We amused our
selves by shouting Happy New Year
from the clouds. We had big mega
phone. We must have frightened some
Of the natives Of Calhoun county out
of their wits. No doubt some of them
thought the angels were flying through
the air and extending New Year greet
ings.

they saw our approach. Once we sail

We saw many docks Of Wild duck and

1--WE did not attain a higher altitude
than 1900 feet, and the coolest wealth
er we encountered was 50 degrees
above zero. We had no searchlight
or we would have rewained IN the bal

beautiful night for a hight above the
clouds, as the moon was shining bril-
liantly But It would have been dam

our altitude and direction Of dlght.
I'VE finally saw party Of men husk-
ing corn in q field and decided that it
would be a good place to descend. The
balloon came to the earth easily and
was quickly dedatsd. We landed on
