WHAT THE COUNTRY is WAITING FOR.

According to the press reports
President Taft paused in the course
OF an after dinner speech 70 the 1900
graduates Of Yale 10 issue a serious
mote Of warning 10 congress and the
leaders of the republican party He is
reported 10 have said that if the gov
eminent fails to live up TO its promises
III would be relocated TO the position of
"a minority opposition. It is said that
the students caught the meaning and
significance of MS remarks and APP
plauded vociferously.
All this is very gratifying but it de-
livers no goods The $500 Yale grad
yates are not engaged in tariff legisla-
ton a, first hands. The senate is. Why
doesn't the president say to congress
what he says 10 the Yale students. II
would catch the significance of his
remarks quite as quickly as did the
Yale men. SO would the country. No
doubt a considerable membership of
the senate would refuse TO applaud.
But the country would cheer itself
hoarse in enthusiastic approval.
If there is to be any sincere effort
70 redeem the pledges Of the party and
the presidential candidate upon tariff
legislation the president must get in
ire game. 1t is not enough 10 warn
1.-THE young men of Yale college that
disaster lies ahead Of the present az

vision. Senator Aldrich and his Old
guard are not affected by such warn

hand. What the president says TO a
bunch of graduates affects the leaders

Comparative May figures OF leading

The volume of livestock and grain

there appears also slight check in the

being below those recorded for the
earlier months of the year. The coke

larger demand of the iron furnaces. IN

The results obtained from the ex-

county farm show a wide variation in
the yield of different samples of seed.
The seed from one farmer yielded
at the rate of ss4 bushels per acre and
had a COL per cent stand while the
seed from another yielded al the rate
of $40 bushels per acre with 80 per

Nonpareil, from the time the New
Nonpareil Company assumed charge OF
it to the present time, and for the
prosperity that has come to 1t particu-
larry in its later years, ann indebted
to the hearty support and cooperation
of the people of Council Bluffs and
western Iowa, to the merchants of
Omaha and to the advertisers in the
foreign field who have found in The
Nonpareil satisfactory means of pub
ficity.
I'm The Nonpareil office Of fifteen
years ago, there were no typesetting
machines, no stereotype printing press,
not even a typewriter in the news de-
partment of the paper. There was
scarcely modern convenience in the
office The payroll amounted to per-
haps $500 a week and two carloads of
print paper lasted a year. For the past
eight years the payroll of The Nonpa-
reil has averaged sl.100 per week and
twenty-four carloads of print paper
per year are required to care for the
circulation exceeding $4,000 copies per
day Comparisons without number
could be made to show that the growth
of the paper has more than kept pace
with the growth of the town.
The purchasers of The Nonpareil,
Messrs. Norris and Hughes, are young
men of energy, ability and means.
They are acquiring the property at a
most opportune time for the successful
continuance of the business. If in the
prosecution of their work in this city
they are given the same loyal and
friendly support that has been given
me and my associates during the time
we have owned and operated the
plant. they viii have no cause for COM
plaint or criticism.

IOWA CORN LAND.
Jefferson Pee1

Iowa corn lands will continue to rise
in value, slowly but surely, for the
next ten years. This statement is
based upon no excited ina gination of
land "boomers," but IS the calm and
deliberate judgment of men who have
weighed all the conditions and looked
at all the contingencies, as far as
human wisdom enables this to be done.
The rise of the next ten years will
be just as positive and rapid as that of
the last ten years. The chief observable
difference. which is even now begin
ming to be apparent, is that the ele-
ment of Tuck" which has heretofore
Tnent in lots of Iowa farming. will dis
appear to a large extent. This result
will be accomplished by adequate TIL
ing. Land perfectly tiled is practically
sure to raise "a fair crop, no matter
what the wea rner conditions are The
conditions Of the present year prove
the truth of this contention.
