pears in general merchandise grain
and live stock, altho the comparison
with q. year ago still shows some de-
cline. Production in the leading in
dustries reflects sustained curtailment
and new orders come forward disap-
pointingly, particularly In iron and
steel, and this imparts weaker tone
to prices. Railroad returns remain
unsatisfactory. the volume of freight
being much short OF that moved six

philadelphia. Wholesale dry goods
houses report business only fair. and
there is tendency to conservative
buying In millinery at wholesale. but
collections are better than for some
time past. The wool market is very
quiet and manufacturers only operate
In moderate size lots to satisfy imme-
date needs. Prices are steadily main
tanned in the higher grades. but the
lower grades are weak under pressure
to sell. Manufacturers of knitted
goods and hosiery report a fair trade,
with very satisfactory orders and ma
chinery which has been idle for some
time past is now in operation; In 9TH
er lines Of textiles there Is still much
idle machinery. Jobbers of woolens
selling to the cuttng-up trade report
sales quiet. Manufacturers of shirt
waists are shipping out a fair amount
of goods, but the seasons business Is
considerably behind that of 1907.
Boston In wholesale branches
trade continues quiet, but business at
retail has expanded, and in practi-
cally all departments a good trade has
followed the advent Of warm and
pleasant weather. Dry goods jobbing
circles also report some improvement,
tho slight, and the clothing trade Is
better. Buyers Of cotton goods are
waiting till assured of staple prices
and current demand is moderate. Man
ufacturers continue to curtail produc-
ton and more drastic measures in this
regard are probable. Mills making
mems wear wool goods find little i'm
provement, and the percentage Of oc-
cupied machinery is not increasing;
estimates are for two thirds of the
wool machinery of the country unem-
ployed The only active feature Of the
shoe trade is still the demand for col
ored goods, and this condition is re-
f,ected in the leather market.

He refuted the charge that the
treasury of the state Is bankrupt by
calling attention to Treasurer w. w.
Morrow's statement that there Is
about $500, 900 in it. The governor said:
THAT Is less than the balance In the
treasury when I became governor. It
Is true. But that the state OF Iowa has
any difficulty whatsoever In answering
the demands made upon her. comes
from an uniformed or a malicious
man, one or the other. The amount
in the treasury at any given time de-
ponds first upon the appropriations
that are made by the general assem-
bly,, for not one penny is OF can be
paid out by any public officer that has
not been appropriated by the legisla-
turc of the state. And 1t depends
second. upon the amount that lis con-
tributed to the treasury In the form
OF taxation. If the legislature makes
appropriations larger than the amount
1t requires the executive council to
raise by taxation. then your treasury
will, as mathematical propo dtion, be
empty. If on the contrary, 1t makes
appropriations less than the amount
it requires to be raised, your treasury
will be full.
"The man, however who desires to be
fair and who wants to be honest with
his fellow men, will not look at the
condition Of the treasury but will ex-
anime the appropriation that has been
made, in order to determine whether
the state Is extravagant or whether Il
is economical.
II do not want to shield myself be-
hind the legislature, altho I have no
more to do than you have with the
amount Of the appropriation, save that
I might veto an appropriation bill. But
I do not want to shrink behind the ac-
ton of the legislature either. for tell
YOU that with one or two trifing ex-
ceptions there has not been I'm appro-
priation made by the general assembly
since / became governor that did not
meet my unqualified approval. and
stand shoulder to shoulder with the
general assembly in this regard.
"The expenses of the state OF Iowa
are greater now than they were five
wears ago or ten years ago. You
must expect this increase in expense OF

on new functions and discharging new
duties.
Senator Allison became the chair
man OF the appropriations committee
Of the senate in about 1875; he then
became the chairman Of the committee
that finally passed upon all the ex-
penditures of the federal government.
The expenses of the United States for
last year were five times the ex-
penses Of the United States when Sen
ator Allison became the chairman OF
the appropriations committee. But II
any friend OF mine criticize's this dis
tinguished statesman because these
expenses have multiplied want Meth
er his influence nor his vote. l would
not want to take office at the hands
of so unjust and unfair man. Sena-
tor Allison has simply responded to
the growth of the republic, and the
increase OF these expenses instead OF

feature to this buying Of corn The
farmers who have to buy T2-cent corn
are able to do so. Few renters are do
ing this kind of business. And ii is in
teresting to listen to some of the talk
about these farmers buying corn. Some
political economists figure such farm
ers are Sl.44 out on every
bushel they buy. Seventy two
cents for the bushel they buy
and 72 cents for the bushcl they
didn't raise. Others prove that II these
farmers had raised corn enough for
their own use, and were compelled TO
feed It, they would have been out of
pocket ~ cents for each bushel, be-
cause they could have sold 1T for those
figures. Along this line Of figuring Is
a hard luck story which Il town dwell
ler mournfully relates. He kept two
hogs and few chickens. Corn was so
high he bought corn only for the chick
ems, the hogs had to get along With
swill from his and the neighbors back
doorsa So he fed his corn 10 the
chickens, the hogs ate up all of the
chickens and then the hogs died OF
cholera. and he had to pay drayman
to haul them out and bury them. He
hasn't figured how much he Is out
but is good deal put out by such
chain of misfortunes.

NO INTEREST IN POLITICS?
/poona Naws. panuh1iran)

(bOOll0 NeWS-IhePuOAtSS1A(
The simple question today is, are
the interests going to control legisla-
ton, or are the people as whole go
ing to control it? Is congress to be
dominated by men who sit on the lid,
and declare there is no demand for
reforms, or are men to be elected who
listen to the voice Of the people and
try to bring about the equal distribu-
ton Of political rights? We have life,
we have physical. military and relig-
ious liberty, and we have happiness.
We have riches in abundance All
these things we enjoy in such gen.
erous measure that we are careless OF
our political liberty, neglectful of our
votes, oblivious to the usurpation OF
legislative power in our pursuit of
financial happiness. A single con-
gresham, elevated to position OF
power transcending the authority OF
the chief executive himself, can block
all legislation with wave OF the
hand or a blow of the gavel. A sena-
tor may say, my bill shall be passed,
or none other"
Compromise is useless in times like
this. The people are becoming aroused
to the fruitlessness of sending men
to Washington who are neither hot
or cold" on this question. The move
ment which has placed Iowa in the
front ranks as progressive state
will in time leaven the whole lump
and bring the people of the United
States to realization that they elect
men to office to be their servants and
not their dictators.

MEN AND TREES.

1t is not strange than man should
love trees If we take the trouble
to look we will find many points OF
similarity in man and the forest tree.
A generation Of men start in life,
to the casual observer there is little
IL any difference in them, But slowly
and surely some few begin to draw
away from the others. Some fall SICK
and die. others develop weaknesses
which change the apparently perfect
babe into deformed cripple. in
others the little spark Of intelligence
which should grow and develop dies
while the body continues to live.
Some grow to mans estate and then
when some sudden strain comes they
snap off like dry reed. Others con-
tinue to grow stronger day by day
