GOOD MEN DEFEATED.

Before the returns were all in, but
when the result was no longer in
doubt, Omer Hinkle walked into the
Office of u G. Deck and congratulated
his opponent upon winning out in the
primaries for county recorder and
pledged him his support in the coming
campaign.
This is not an isolated case. No
doubt dozens of other good republicans
have done the same thing. But this
is the only case that has come directly
under the writer's observation, and
is given as illustrating the typical
republican of Mahaska county. t
Only one man can win for any one
office, and because a, man is beaten it
is no indication that he is less popu-
lar or less qualified, or entitled to
the place. 1t is purely question of
votes and the rule of the majority is
cardinal principle of the republican
party.
1t is one of tn, irenies of all repre-
sentative governments that many
voters have different views.
We could not change this If we
would. and indeed we do not know that
we would change it If we could. The
will of the people is supreme.
When man has fought good fight
and is fairly beaten, his defeat is no
disgrace. If he takes the situation
philosophically he viii be stronger
than ever before But if he assumes
that some one took unfair advantage
of him and goes cunning for an imagin.
airy enemy on whom to unload the
blame, he weakens his cause and sub
mits himself to caustic criticism.
The brave man bears defeat with
dignity. Though he may feel disap-
pointed he keeps a cheerful heart.
Years roll by rapidly and his time is
sure to come. If he boosts those who
have beaten him he makes friends
fast. If he complains and finds fault
he loses the support of those who have
stood by him.
Be cheerful loser. 1t pays.
The Oskaloosa herald. (Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa) 1885-1919, 1908-06-11
THE BRIGHTER VIEW.

DIR. James R, Day. chancellor OF
Syracuse University, addressing a
meeting of the Harlem branch of the
Y. Nj. c. A., spoke OF a bright indus
trial future that win follow the pres
ent depression. He said:
This nation is too big TO be ruined.
too big to stop long. The business OF
the country isn't going to stagnate or
wither. 1t is going on. There is too
much wealth in the interior, too much
property on the surface. too much har-
vest in its broad acres, too many fac
tories and too much money that mas
got to be invested to be safe for us to
halt very long. We've had little
scare, but nothing more. And IL
doesn't take long to recover from a
scare. If it was disease instead of a
fright, it would be different. But the
country is sound.
You've heard that sublime, stupid
nonsense about half a dozen men put
ting the world in their pockets and not
letting anybody else get any. Why,
NOu may bC ohC Va tAlOoS nan aOSNAN
some day. These men are not going
to live forever. If they had Methuse-
labs prospects of life, it might be a Sc
rious matter, Men get rich and then
get fat and get dyspepsia and die. The
Lord takes care of that.
Most Of them are fools before they
die, and leave their millions to their
sons and daughters, instead of to SYRIA
.cuse University. And most of the sons
are fools, too. They spend the money
for automobiles and yachts and great
establishments, and by and by you AL
get it back.
Eyes. the material outlook is very
encouraging. And we don't hlame the
prosperous, because we all want to be
prosperous ourselves. Let us all be
without the dangerous antagonism TO
wealth, that flows out of sources OF
malignity and ignorance-out of Union
Square and other places"

He charged the, editor, with making a
statement that was not true, and the
lie was passed. Editor Richardson
picked up case that was filled with
type and brought it down upon the
head of the attorney. Giltner was
felled to the floor, and when he arose
went after the editor The two mixed
things in the liveliest kind of manner
and were pummeling each other when
parties rushed into the Office and sep
arated them.
The article which caused the i'll
feeling referred to a decision that had
been made by the supreme court and
in which Mr. Giltner hau been the
prosecuting witness against the Rev.
C. S. Cooper, who had been charged
with and was acquitted of criminal
libel.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

Fisk & Robinson, the well known
New York brokers, in their monthly
bulletin of investments for June take
a most hopeful view of the situation.
Among other things they say:
"A careful examination, not of be-
liefs and theories. but of those larger
induces which more accurately reflect
the business status of the country fails
to reveal any cause for anxiety as to
our business future. 1t must be frank
ly admitted that conspicuous evil
dences of rapid improvement are lack
ing, but, on the other hand, there is
much which not only warrants conf.
dence, but foreshadows q return of
normal conditions at an early day.
1.-THE volume of bank clearings has
been steadily maintained for months,
and the indications at this time are
that May will show a substantial in
crease. This is not surprising, in view
of the unusual volume of bank re.

est rates and freer credits SO essential

ity. Our exports, while lessened, con.
tinue large, but more gratifying still
is the persistent increase during the
three months ended April 80 in the
amount Of manufactured products
shipped abroad. Imports. exclusive
of gold. have remained practically sta
tionary in volume tor months.
Since January there has been a
continuous decline in the number Of
commercial failures. During the same
period there has been a sustained rise
in the volume of construction work
until it is now more than double its
proportions four months ago. aa y
For six months the demand for
steel and pig iron has shown very lit
tie variation, but in the last half of
May sharp buying of the latter devel-
oped, frequently at somewhat higher
prices than were offered few weeks
earlier. 1t cannot be shown that this
buying is for actual orders in sight,
The Oskaloosa herald. (Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa) 1885-1919, 1908-06-11


but It is at least reasonable to ASSUME
that it is due to anticipation by the
more far-sighted of an early business
revival.
Because the gross. earnings Of the
railroads have not shown increases
it is hardly fair to conclude that there
has been no improvement in general
business. The shrinkage in the vol
ume of transportation is due largely to
the stopping of purchases by the roads
themselves. The steady reduction in
operating expenses reflects healthier
conditions $50 far as the roads are
,coneerned,a ,While the fact that the
maximum Of idle cars appears to have
been reached is significant; indeed,
the most recent records indicate that
in this respect transportation lines are
distinctly on the up-turn.
There are three factors offering
far more encouragement than even
concrete evidences of existing condi-
tions, and they are capable of welding
great influence in business revival
They are the practically assured
crops; the feeling OF relief which us
ually follows the adjournment of con-
gress, and the continued attitude of
the higher courts toward unjust STAT
utes aimed at corporations.
1T is inevitable that the earnings
of railroads, and in turn their purchas-
ing power, will be affected favorably
by the movement of crops. In addi-
tion to this it is certain that between
now and January the country will
have been enriched regardless of
prosperity or depression, to the ex-
tent of not less than $4,000, 100000
through it's agricultural and mining
products. swui boo,
fThe benefits of the serenity which
will result from the lahsence of dis
quietingdlegislation can not be over
estimated 1t, isiltrue that there will
be national campaign this fall,. but

well convinced regarding the out

"The courts Have indicated clearly
their purpose not to permit much Of
the recent unwise legislation to re-
main upon the statute books, while
tie people have shown the politicians
that such matters have been pressed
too far. These two factors will tend
to curb legislation of this character
fol some years TO come.
There is one other index of the fu-
ture which should not be disregarded
While there may have been some ma
nipulation in the stock market, the
persistent advance in prices neverthe-
less reflects more emphatically than
anything else the return of confidence
on the part of the investing public in
the soundness of underlying condi-
tions. Thoughtful investors realized
that at the prices ruling few months
ago there was but little chance for
loss. Stocks, however, have reached
figures now which will deter invest
ors from purchasing that class of Sc
curities, and they are again turning to
bonds. in order to eliminate the ele-
ment of risk and to profit by present
prices. This is clearly indicated by
the steady increase in the volume of
bond sales and the quick absorption
of the several large issues recently
made by old, well established lines"

PLANT CORN.

Colonel Richard Sarlis, an extensive
farmer in Indiana, declares that even
II the season is late. bottom farmers
should continue TO plain corn up to the
last Of June, and put in sloughs and
low spots even as late as the 9Th or

ed and the fall season is apt to be
moderate and warm enough TO pro-
duce fair and well-matured corn, even
If planted in July Corn is now used
for 122 purposes, most of which there
is no substitute for, and many OF the
compounds and ingredients do not re
quire the best quality of well-matured
corn and can be manufactured of a

Des Moines. June 9.-That is a sum
mary of the railroad business done in
Iowa in f90S,nasi COMPARED with the
business done in 1907. ,y
The figures have been compiled in
the office ofnthe secretary of the exc
cutive council FROM reports made by
the railroad companies as a basis for
assessment and taxation in July.
During half of the Iyear 1903 the
two-cent fare law was in elect. There
also was In effect the law reducing
the rates on local shipments OF live
stock about 20 per cent.
One Road Objects.
The Union Pacific railroad declined
to file figures conforming to the re-
quirements of the Iowa statute. AS
reason therefor, it was stated that the
interstate commerce commission pro,
hibits the company from keeping its
books except in a certain way and
therefore. since the national law con.
fiicts with the Iowa law, the Iowa law
must stand aside.
The totals given, therefore do not
include the reports of the Union Pa
cific business either for 1906 or 1907.
The company had gross earnings in
Iowa of about $225,O00 in 1907 and ran
behind about $4,000 on that basis, so
that the figures would not be mater
tally changed, were its report made for
this year.

can party in Iowa is over and the can.
didates on all the political tickets in
the state are chosen. The time for
party peace and unity is at hand. The
contest the past few months has been

no little division has been made in the
party ranks. Now that this is all past
and there is no reason to continue it,
