WAGES $500 PER DAY.

There is an advertisement in this
of men to work at Lehigh, Iowa, in
the clay works of that town. The
wages offered is $500 per day, sum-
mer and winter. That the business
men of Lehigh are compelled to ad
vertise and pay such wages is proof
positive that workmen are scarce,
and that wages are exceptionally
good throughout Iowa. 1t is said
with truth that the laboring men of
the state are practically all employed
and have been for the past ten years
at the best wages they have ever re-
ceived Under such conditions there
| is no crying demand among Iowa
laboring men for change in adj
ministration. The frantic campaign
being made in Iowa today, by the
democratic party is simply ridiculous;
| it had hopes that the disaffection
within the republican party, and the
| dope held out by the democrats in
their injunction plank, would posi-
/ bly, give it some hope of success, but
in this the party is doomed to disap-
! pOintment The state ticket Will be
scratched some, but every man nom
mated on the republican state tick
ct will be elected by good sized ma
| jorities, while the national ticket
will carry by not less than 10000.
| With laboring men on full time, with
good wages; with farmers receiv-
| ing the history price for their pro
duce in the history of the country,
there certainly is no demand for p
change of administration. what is
true OF farmers and laboring men is
| also true of business men. Iowa mer
chants are prosperous because they
are selling practically for cash. Hard
times are unknown in this state.
Truth is, there never was such a
good time in Iowa. in its history as
there is today. A change OF admins
! tiation, simply means the unsettlins
of business and that means dull
times. 1t is IA mighty good time TO

ISSUING BONDS TO PAY RUN
MING EXPENSES.

Now just look here minute. Sup-
posing you had before you the record
of how big business had been run
ming for forty years. Suppose you
found that in that forty years tle
firm had never had to issue its notes
to get money to carry on its affairs
except at one time. and that was when
a certain set of officers had it under
control Suppose some of the san e
fellows wanted to get in control again,
and the decision was up to you as to
whether they should or not. Sup
posing the business was now running
on paying basis although the cx-
pense were large, the management
being to nicely handle things. SO to
show a balance in the bank at all
times. Now what would you do about
putting out the men who were doing
we'll, and putting the incompetent
fellows in, no matter if they did
come up with a new manager and
make great professions of whaL they
would do. AS sane man you would
refuse to make change. You would
say no matter what you pretend " ur
record is bad, to those fellows who
ran the firm in debt when times were
normal. That is just the political
situation a this time. The democrat
ic party has had control Of the coun-
try just once in forty years and that
was under Cleveland. At that time
there were no extra expenses to be
met and yet Cleveland and his fellow
democrats ISSUED BONDS TO PAY
THE RUNNING EXPENSES OF THE
GOVERNMENT. That record alone
is sufficient to keep that party out of
power-so long as the republican party
handles affairs so to keep balance
in the treasury. Really it is most
startling thing to consider. the turn
ing over of this government to. men
who when tried before failed to make
good. Happily all reports show that
the voters of the nation mean to stand
by the men who have shown capacity
to handle affairs. This view Of the
case should be we'll considered by the
voters of this county. Of course
Iowa will go republican. and the n; :
tion likewise. and the men who persist
in voting the democratic ticket will
enjoy the prosperity for it falls like the
refreshing rains on the just and the
unjust, and We want it so. But there
should be some satisfaction in voting
with the winning sides the one which
the huge majority of the voters en-
dorse as the right one. There
should be some satisfaction in voting
for party which has shown the
brains and capacity to run the gov
eminent and in voting against the
party which has shown that it must
issue bonds to run the government
in times of profound peace.

DEMOCRATIC INCOMPETENCE.

The trouble with the demo-
cratic party is. it is party of
statesmen, without statesman
ship, patriots without patriot
ism. heroes without heroism.
Their policy begets farmers with
out farming, laborers without la
Dor. freemen without freedom.
The Fifty-second congress had
democratic majority of l48 and
if it redeemed single pledge,
observed single promise. kept y
single command or discharged
single obligation made to the
people of the United States will
quit the stump and retire from
the canvass.
The Fifty second congress was
elected On retrenchment and
economy. the free coinage of sill
yer and tine repeal of the Nc
Kinley law. In the matter of
economy that congress exceeded
the republican 81. 600, 600, 600 CON
gress by $40, 900, 600.
The above is the able setting forth
of the inconpetency of the demo
cratic party given by Senator Gore
of Oklahoma in speech he made
in 1896 when he was a member of
the Populist party. 1t is as true
today as when delivered. 1t is in
deed remarkable how utterly incom-
petent and disappointing has been the
record of the democratic party.
Before the war of lS6o-65 it was the
defender of human slavery, and its
of the currency question
gave US the 'wiId cat'' money of
value. 1t was only
when the republicans came into power
that currency was arranged, good
for it's full face value and all over the
country. During the war the demo-
cratic party met and declared the at
tempt of the northern troops to keep
the union from ACKNOWLEDGMENT
was a failure. Since that time that
party has opposed every measure
which has been for the upbuiiding
of the nation. When it had the powers
to act during one of Cleveland S adj
it did nothing as SC
we'll set forth above by Senator Gore.
At the present time Bryan is going
about calling for purity in politics,
vet the man whom he makes treasur-
err of the democratic campaign fund
is shown to be rascal, a man who
has as governor Of Oklahoma favor
ed the Standard Oil Company. and
now has resigned his treasurership
in disgrace. The only hope for Bry
an to carry New York is by the aid of
the Tammany men the most corrupt
political organization in America.
Governor Hughes we'll SAID in his
speech at st. Joe that it would sur
PRISE the simple, minded westerners
who think by enrolling under the ban
ner of Bryan that it means 1.-The peo-
pie shall rule''to see the men of Tam
many Hall. The campaign of Bryan
is a fraud and humbug. He forced
himself on his party for another nom
nation. The leaders did not want him.

nounced the American troops in the
islands as oppressors and in his public
speeches gave aid and comfort to the
enemy, the effect of his utterances be
ing to encourage the Filipino insur-
rectors to continue in armed resistance
to American authority. In the cam
paign of 1900 Mr. Bryan, in support OF
his so-called issue of Imperialism,
commended that the United States had
no right to hold the territory acquired
from Spain. The people accepted his
challenge and again he went down in
defeat.
Since Mr.. Bryan appeared upon the
stage American credit has ascended to
it's highest level American industr.
has enjoyed its greatest prosperity
American wages have reached the
maximum and American commerce
both export and import, has attained
it's greatest proportions. American
territory has expanded in the Atlantic
and in the Pacific; the volume of oul
money in circulation, both per capita
and in grand total, has exceeded al
records; the number of banks has in
creased by hundreds, the number o.
savings and savings bank deposltors

their deposits have increased more

gle one of these great projects of Nat
ionaI Development and progress
Where Fie rs appeared in connection
with any OF them it has been only as
an cbstfuctionist and Pathfinder. His
record is merely one OF negatton anG
protest against the inevitable. He has
misunderstood every National problem
that has arisen since he entered public
life. He has miSread economic condi
tions, reversed the policies of his par
ty and peddled false prophecies only to
see them fatty refuted by events.
Living and pretending to lead in the
busiest and most important period o.
our national existence saving only thai
covered by the Civil War, Mr.. Bryan
has absolutely nothing standing to his
name but dismal record of blunder
false issues, discredited predictions
and promises unfulfilled. His entire
contribution to the strength and pro
sress of the republic may be mathe
matically expressed by single ciph

ler seeks not only to recover $2b3,oz5,
the profits of his New York real estate
and stocks up to 1904, but to establish
his status in New York as sane per-
son.
The application to permit Mr.. Chan
Ter to return to New York under the

by Joseph II. Choate, jr., acting for Mr..
sherman, who contends that Mr.. Cham
Ter is still insane and should be re-
turned Immediately to Bloomingdale II

'ANTIS' PLAN WAY TO
DEFEAT LIQUOR MEN
WILL TRY TO FORM A NEW
TOWN
Party Is Convinced That Next Elec-

If Movement Is Car
rlcd Out

Special to The Herald.
SANTA MONICA, April 16-That
south side whisky interests are plan
ming to set on foot movement for
the exclusion from the city limits or
that part of town beginning at Hollis
ter avenue and extending south there
from was current talk today among
those ION the inside" of matters polltl-
cal in the Santa Monica bay district.
The reason for this alleged move
would be that the recent election, in
which Santa Monica went wet py
majority of 1914, demonstrated that north
of Hollister avenue the "antis" have a
majority of 10 over the saloon FORCES,
whereas south of that line the whisky
men have comfortable 200 majority.
Therefore the latter are afraid that at
the next city election, which takes
place In December, 1909. the enemies
might stand a fair show of defeating
them, whereas with the "wet" section
of the city cut off and made into
new town they could rest on their oars
in the placid assurance Of having
things their own way for years to
come.
A striking feature of the movement
is that the saloon men are said to be
hopeful of getting the "antis" to work
with them for the object In view, as 1t
would mean sure victory for the pro-
hibitionists if the city should be di-
vided as suggested by the whisky in
terests.
The Venice people might confidently
be expected to fall in line with the
movement, as its success would give
them q chance to incorporate that part
of Ocean Park south of Sunset ave-
nue. into new city of Venice, a third
city, to be called Ocean Park, being
incorporated with Hollister avenue and
Sunset avenue for its northern and
southern boundaries.
The state law provides that such an
exclusion movement as the one sug-
gested must be presented in petition to
the city council and that the latter
shall then submit the proposition to
the electors.

PASADENA, April 16.-Proceedings
bv the Pasadena Humane society
against e. M. Wardwell came to an
abrupt ending this morning when the
defense suddenly succeeded in proving
that the Pasadena society as an IN
corporated body does not exist. "A Ger
tified COPY of the articles of incorpo-
ration was shown to be not in con-
formanoe with article 594 of the CIVIL
code. and Judge Mcdonald dismissed
the case on motion of Attorney Elmer

e. M. Wardwell is the manager OF
the Pacific Exploration company, ana
cases brought on account OF one mule
which was stopped in MonroYla IN oc-
tober are: A case against the driver,
who was convicted of cruelty and hned
SO: a case against the Humane So
ciety for damages-dismissed a case
against E. M. Wardwell for failure TO
XIII the mule when ordered to do So
Jury disagreed; a case against ward
well for cruelty-dismissed because
witnesses were not present; retrlal OF
the first case against Wardwell-ended
today. Except in the case of the driver
the cruelty has not and probably never
will be brought to an issue.
AS only a peace officer or an officer
of an incorporated humane society may
order an animal killed, and as Field
officer McAney is not peace officer,
the proof that the Humane society
does not exist nullified the order to
kill the mule.
The Pasadena society will continue
to prosecute cases as a branch of the
Los Angeles society until it's incorpora-
ton can again be effected.

NEUTRALlZE AGGRESSION
BY AMERICAN CAPITAL
Premature Publication of Emperor's
Grant Shows United States Money
May Be Used to Develop
Manchuria
BY A Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
PEKING, April ia plan for the
possible enlistment of American capital
in Manchuria was disclosed in Peking
yesterday by the premature publication
of a rescript issued a month ago py
which the thrsne grants Tang Shao
VI, the governor of Mukden province
authority to grant a loan of maxi
mum of 20,OOO,O 900 taels for the purpose
of financing the administration or
Manchuria.
This proposal is understood here to
be an attempt to negotiate that portion
of the boxer indemnity which the gov
ernment of the United States has pro-
posed to cancel. 1t will also ally the
power and influence of the United
States for the conservation of Man
churia to China. The plan in question
embraces the participation of the pow
ers who are partial creditors of China,
such as Great Britain, France. Ger
many and Japan.
It's obvious purpose is to neutralize
the aggression of Japan to enforce the
terms of the Portsmouth treaty to pro-
vide for the construction of railroad
communication and to safeguard Mon
golia, which already is the scene of
contest between the influence of Rus
sia and that of Japan.
