A FAMILY AFFAIR.
COelwein Repiste1.

Reference has been made in these
columns to the large family of boys
that have been engaged for the past
two years in delivering the Daily Reg
lister on one of the routes. and 1t again
comes up for comment. The family is
noteworthy as being composed of a
large number of boys, we don't know
just how many, but up to date have
seen about six. No Started on the
route, and soon dropped out for a job
in the shops, leaving No. 2 to deliver
papers The latter struck another job
and No. 3 hald it down for a time. This
has continued till to the best of our
recollection. No. 6 put in an appear

ing thoroughly acquainted with the
route missed some patrons. No. 6 is OF
too tender years to be entrusted with
the route, and unless No. 4 or puts

Negro Migration Predicted.
(New Orleans Picayune)


The only process reasonably posi-
bic by which the matter can be han
died is by the distribution and diff
fusion of the negroes turnout the var
ious states, so that 100000 of them
would be lost among 100,oo0000 Of
whites. Then they would cease to be
disturbing factor in our affairs.
The negroes want social equality,
more than political privileges, and they
can get both in the northern states.
They are going, and they should be
assisted by legislation to go. No power
can prevent their exercising constitu-
tional right to go, and they can un-
derwork the whites, because they can
live on a lower level. They are going,
and the movement will show astonish-
ing results when the next census shall
be taken.

HARD TIMES IN IOWA.
Chelsea independently


Evidence of hard times in Iowa is
as difficult to find as Mysterious Raj
files at a, county fair. Letters have
been sent out to about fifty of the
larger cities of Iowa asking for infor-
nation regarding the revival of busi-
ness. Answers have been received
from about Thirty thus far, and with
some half dozen exceptions, the reply
has been received that there DIS no such
revival noted, the reason given being
that there was scarcely a perceptlble
depression. These replies reflect the
conditions not only in the farming
communities but In the larger cities.
In the country farmers are busy in the
fields or sitting on the fences watch

terial essence of the golden sunshine.
In the cities, everywhere business IS
booming. Public and private build

Cedar Rapids Republican,

Cedar Rapids Republican,
The young men Of this generation
who are looking around for profitable
fields of endeavor should take note Of
this situation. 1t will lead them newt
ably to the conclusion that the most
promising field open to human energy
today is the scientific cultivation of
land With the population increasing
steadily. the farmer has an absolutely
sure thing. He can count upon being
able to dispose of, and at good prices
any agricultural staple of luxury that
he may cultivate. There is no other
field of human endeavor which prom
ises so absolutely a sure thing as farm :
ing in America for the present time
and for years that are to come.

1t has an effective primary law and

Then too, Missouri has democrat.

We are looking for men nowadays
who remember those to whom service
is due. Men to whom the oath of of

which names such candidates, men who
do things as Taft and Cummins and
Hadley, and their like do things,
will win. In short, the party that lis

party in power now and decades from
now.
But don't sheer at "Old Missouri"
She is neither to be sneered nor

IF the merchants, business men and

be raised within the next thirty days.
Mr.. G. H. Zempter, the patentee CT

tic over the plan and says that his
machine can do the work satisfac-
torily, and his word is verified by
many of our planters who have seen
the machine in operation.
The company proposes to offer 500
shares at $40 share to raise the nee
essary amount to build the factory,
and MIR. Zempter will call on oar
business men and capitalists with his
