were only ss,5OOO0O Then came a sec
ond but unsecured claim of $5,000,000
in preferred stock and a large amount
of common stock representing a total
book value of $15,0O0,00o. In view of
the fact that the original Pillsbury
family is represented in the receiver
ship and that the stock of the COM
pany is said to be scattered all over
the world, it Is not unreasonable to
presume that the great milling concern
has been cruising on a voyage of high
finance and comes into port water
logged.
The chances are that the bonds
cover the original investment in the
property and the Pillsburys and their
friends probably got them. Then In
the heyday of prosperity there were
earnings enough to pay dividends on
few millions of preferred stock So an
issue was sold to the public thru brok-
ers and the proceeds pocketed by the
original owners This was selling the
property twice without buying it back
again Then the common stock was
issued to absorb all the profits above
the bond interest and preferred divi-
dends which proved to be considerable
so some of that was sold, the original
owners thus selling the property par
TALLY third time and becoming so far
removed from direct personal interest
in the ownership that a salaried man
ager proved failure when hard times
struck the business. This is all a sup
position, but it is an old story in high
finance and is probably good guess.

THEY LOST THEIR CHANCE.
Lincoln, Neb.. News)

When the republican national con-
vention met, Senator Doliver, of Iowa,
was the man most prominently mem
toned for vice president. The nominal
ton would easily have gone to him
had not the seandpat delegates from
Iowa strenuously fought the sugges-
ton, owing to their fear that if Dolli-
yer should leave the senate Cummins
would be elected in his place. To meet
this objection a boom was then started
for Cummins as the candidate, for vice
president, but the standpatters would
not hear to his being honored in that
way either. Iowa thus lost the chance
to secure representation on the ma
tional ticket, and the west was de-
priyed Of the nominee for second place.
Had the Iowa reactionaries been con-
tent to accept Cummins for vice presi-
dent he would not now be a possibility
for the Allison succession. In keeping
him out of the one honor, they simply
saved UP for him the other. as the sit
la ton has now developed. There IS no
Question that Cumlnins would rather
he senator than vice president, so that
his enemies have done him a great
service when they least intended to,
That they will try to prevent his cleo
ton as senator goes without saying,
but that they will be successful is not
likely.

THE RAILWAY PROBLEM.


This problem is how to secure ade-
shippers and travellers at fair rate.
The lower tier of countie.; in Iowa
is wholly dependent on the Burlington
system for these facilities. The citi-
Zens of that part OF the state COM
plain of the inadequate facilities; the
railway company says that it would
not pay to run any more trains than
it does, which means that this sec
ton of the state. like any other gets
what 1t pays for but can get no more.
There is some reason in this.
But transportation in these days is
world wide. The Northern Pacific
system has withdrawn its Asiatic
lines of steamships out Of the trade
leaving the business, wholly to Japan.
MIR. Hill says that he was compelled
to do SO by recent legislation which
he says is unfavorable to his bust
ness. The reason here is not SO pat
emit Why has American shipping de-
cayed ever since high protective tar
ifs have been enacted? In order to
pay it's way a ship must have cargoes
both ways. going and coming. Is it
possible that a prohibitive tariff COM
'pels American shippers to sail empty
one way? Does it make competition in
ship building and operating an Inn
possible matter. q hopeless affair?
These are legislative questions and
they create a doubt about the relia-
withdrawal of his lines from water
A. tn
that parallel his are not laying any
ships aside that sail the Atlantic and
Pacific.
In the meantime consolidation OF
vast systems goes merrily on. Har-
riman says that he is compelled to
swallow Geo. Gould in order to save
both Gould and himself, because
owing to government regulation with
out protection the railways are not
receiving sufficient revenue for the
services which they are performing.
This also would seem reasonable did
he not add a remark as to what
sufficient revenue to him would mean.
To an unsophisticated man it would
mean revenue sufficient to keep the
road and rolling stock in good repair,
paying the operators good wages, and
the stockholders good interest but
to him revenue sufficient means an
additional item, viz. to furnish money
to build new extensions, new rail-
ways. OF course if revenue sufficient
means more money to build new roads
or buy old ones and repair them. it
would be hard to say how much rev
enue would be sufficient; difficult to
tell how high rates should be.
Hartman says he is as helpless as
a man in a maelstrom, and that there
must be cooperation between the,
and transportation lines.
Some suspect that railway employees
are organizing politically in order to
swing 100000 votes in defense or
in promotion of their own interests.
These are important admissions on
the part OF the railway systems that
must be done by govern
ment to help solve the railway prob
lem, and show the great Importance
of Tafts suggestion that We need
new government department to at
tend to transportation and commune
cation. A transportation portfolio is
now as important as an agricultural
or A trea sllry portfolio.

BLYTHE WANTS DELAY.

There is also other occasion for a
big rally. of this character at Des
Moines. The republican party of Iowa
is again facing critical conditions by
the re-opening of the senatorial cam
paign, thru the death of Senator ALI
son, the republican nominee. There is
grave danger of a. fresh. breaking out
of republican factionalism. So far as
the Hawk Eye is concerned. whatever
influence it has will be exerted to pre-
serve harmony, and peace within the
ranks. 1t assumes to itself no greater
desire for republican unity than in
spires other republican newspapers,
and 1t assumes that men of both fac
lions will earnestly Strive to prevent
dissensions. But local conditions vary
in different counties and districts, and
there is peril in the situation lest the
republicans suffer losses in the legis-
lative districts. Such losses, If they oc-
cur, will not be limited to the legis-
lative tickets only.

THE WILL OF THE MANY.
1Snirit Lake BEACON


The point we would particularly en-
phasize Is that the ambition and the
political fortunes of Governor Cum
minis are not to be practically constd-
cred apart from the attitude Of solid
phalanx of republicans who have rail-
lied to his support and urged him to
the fore whenever he has appeared as
a candidate for office. Without their
insistence he would not have been
candidate for governor tho first nor
the third time Without urgent coun-
sci his name would rot have appeared
ON the primary ballot this year They
would call him coward and gutter
If he declined to MAKE this appeal for
republican support. now that a choice
is forced upon the party by the DEGREES
of death. If ii is important to hold
the state of Iowa sure and steadfast in
its political moorings 1t were we'll to
think calmly and logically on these
things.

THE SYNDICATE NEWSPAPER.
'rimes-Journal)

Independence in the individual or
the newspaper is commendable when
it is sincere and not a preteXt for
avoiding the main question or the
certain obligation. The voter who
will not take stand and show his
colors in a national crisis because he
can see merit or the lack of it, on
both sides is generally regarded as
one ruled by low, selfish and 1gnoble
prudence and not by an independent,
manly and patriotic spirit.
Newspapers published by syndicates
are usually of this class. These syn
dicates are commonly composed of
men who have been trained in the
counting room and who can see no

AN INFAMOUS TAX.

If the next state administration
wants to Introduce real reform into
Iowa it can not do better than take UP
the question Of taxation. The abolish

credits would mark a long step for

be a reform which would benefit ev-
erybody and, paradoNical as it may
seem, it would benefit no class more
than the poor class, the borrowing

sTANDPATTER WANTS TO QUIT.
(Shenandoah Sentinel-Post.)

It looks to me at first view of the
situation as If Governor Cummins
has decidedly the advantage of the
situation His manly acceptance of
the June defeat won him many
friends and his determination to
stand Loyalty by the ticket this year
and to take part in the campaign re-
moved much of the bitterness that
was felt towards him. The best test
of any man is defeat and he stood
the test I do not say at this tune
that we should fall in and advocate
the election of Mr.. Cummins. but
neither am I prepared to say that
we should begin anew to oppose
him. 1t is too soon to say what we
will or will not do. But it will be
difficult task to concentrate the

Referring to democracy the Boone
News Republican says: The party in
this state has usually been very har-
monious in the matter of candidates,
for the reason that 1t was such a
mighty task to get someone to run that
when anyone consented he was the
harmonious choice of the party. But
they have not always called each
other honey doves Not by any means.
Their conventions are always as lively
as if there was something in sight.
and there are strong indications this
year that all of the democratic lead
ers in Iowa do not get mail out of the
same box"
The Muscatine Journal says that IL
many of us wanted to live today as
we did twenty years ago, we could
live just as cheap as we did then. and
possibly cheaper. 1t points out that
we can buy a hat, a pair of shoes, q
meal at a restaurant, underclothes. at
Just the same price, a sandwich Is the
same old nickel, and we can get suit
\of clothes for $40 today that is good
enough to wear at banquet.
The Boone News Republican pre-
diets that balIoonists of every degree
will not cease until the air becomes a
thoroughfare for the safe and rapid
transit of human beings as we'll as
birds.
Commenting on the Hartman inter-
view the Davenport Times remarks:
IF, however, he believes the govern
ment ought to protect the railways
from the interference of the several
states, he will have to wait until the
constitution is changed, and that will
be long while, for the states have
the right to regulate the commerce
within their borders. 1t may be posi-
BILE for the states to adopt laws ap-
proximately similar so as to produce
greater uniformity. But protection
from the states can not be realized"
The Webster City Freeman Tribune
contends that "Mr. Bryan has been
mistaken so often thatit is strange that
he should be regarded as construc-
tive statesman by any considerable
number of we'll informed voters. If be-
ing on the wrong side of public ques-
tions demonstrates statecraft, then Mr..
Bryan is a statesman"
1t is the belief of the Mason City
Times Herald that "the unanimity
with which the people of the state. are
coming to the support of the govern
or as the successor Of the late senator
bear out the belief that the political
wars Of the state in the republican
party can be healed, and that Iowa's
political troubles will be matter of
history"

Law 10 ms Effect Tn Operation at
 Midnight Sunday Night.
 Muskogee, Okla, July 28.-At mid night Sunday night the law removing the government restriction on 9,000,- 900 acres of Indian lands in eastern Oklahoma went into effect Every real estate office in that part of the new state is crowded with anxious buyers and sellers of lands. Money is changing hands by the hundreds of thousands and agents are busy corral ling the allottees that have been in practical captivity during the last few days. Leases are being taken on land that Is not bought, and actual cash is being passed from hand to hand, mak- ing hte night one of the most exciting in years in Oklahoma. Every one is striving to get the first chance at the property.
 The removal means that 9,000,o00 of the 20,000,000 acres of Indian lands in forty counties of eastern Oklahoma which was formerly in Dian Territory becomes salable. The fight of the white men to secure the Indian lands began the moment the Indian allot- ments were made. and it has been pushed ever since. When statehood became effective, and the question of taxation became an issue, the removal of restrictions became imperative, but not until Oklahoma got it's own dele gation in congress was the legislation effected
 For month scores of real estate agents have been rounding up the In- dian and negro allottees. One buyer entertained number of Indians and negroes for three days, providing them wiht everything they desired, the only conditions imposed being that they do not leave the rooms or allow any one to enter.
