is great thing for me. 1t let's me
pick up money enough to pay my
debts" Lindsey has fought graft In
Denver, stood for the square deal In
Colorado, defended the neglected child
| hood and fought the men who prey up
on and profit in the flesh of budding
womanhood effectively with all his
energy and such cash as he could earn
He needed the money. Everyone knows
that the wine rooms and white slavers
of Denver would have made him rich
The corporations would have thought
him cheap at the price of fortune
But little Ben Lindsey is still fighting
and going out Of summer to trave
nights and days for the fee that chau-
| tauqua and lyceum audiences pay ir
modest home secure against the mort
gagee.
La Toilette told the senate the other
day that he could make more money
outside the senate 1t is so. Bob La
Toilette might be the leading trial law
yer of the northwest. He is a splendid
lawyer and a court orator Of the high
est capacity. He might earn ten and
twenty times his salary as senator be-
fore the courts and in general legal
practice He goes out of summer to
lecture because he needs the money tc
pay his debts.
Senator A. B. Cumnins is in demand
by the chautauqua. He is another
case in point. 1t is close at home. We
all know Cummins, the Cummins who
was sneered at at the close of his un-
successful senatorial campaign as one
who went disappointed and worn out to
"a mortgaged home But Cummins
left the head of the Iowa bar to be
governor. He is a great lawyer. He
earned three times his salary as sena-
tor in his legal practice. In the heat
and rage of seven embattled years none
ever whispered that Cummins' hand
was unclean with the price of dishonor
But Cummins was glad when he could
earn a 500 fee by speaking to an audi
ence in chautauqua. He needed the
money to pay his debts. Dolliver has
not grown wealthy. He is we'll pleased
to earn the same fee in the same way
He needs the money.
Let's cease sneering at the senators
who need the money. Let's consider
the readiness with which any and all
of them might have seen present ne
cessities relieved and the future lavish
~ provided for. Does anyone suppose
the La Toilette would have difficulty
in securing a salary as attorney for the
interests that would make his senator
al pay bagatelle? What would the
corporations have paid Cummins for
his services as attorney any time with
in the past six years? Let's cease
sneering at the men who need the mon
ey and cast an eye over those who have
all aid more than they need, asking
how and where they got it?

A JUDICIAL OPINION.
["Billy" Orchard in His Glidden
Graphic.7

The series Of revival meetings
which Rev. Mr.. Sunday is now con-
Guiding in Marshalltown will form a
notable milestone in his career. His
success there has been notable, but not
more SO than in other cities where he
has held meetings. The result Is no.
table In this that 1t marks the date
when the evangelist spiked the guns Of
many men who have heretofore been
his critics. The strings which the
critics of Sunday have played on are
considerable in number. Grouped
under one general head, they would
probably be named Lack of rever-
ence or respect for his calling and
for the religion Of which he is an ex-
ponent." His slang, his fierce invec-
tive, his theatrical actinE are hooks
on which his critics have hung their
arguments. But the merits Of the
man, the real power Of his mind. the
extent Of his vocabulary, his earnest
ness and the justice of the things he
stands for, have been made manifest
in this series of meetings as never
before, and they have simply over
whelmed and inundated the trivial
grounds on which the critics have
stood.
For this elimination of critics
thru disarmament and benevolent
assimilation. Sunday owes much to
the Times-Republican This paper
has reported the facts and printed his
sermons either in full or copious ex-
tracts from them. 1t has ignored triv-
ial matters and dealt with the meet
ings in their larger aspects. In this
way the real Sunday has been set
forth. If mathematical division
were possible, probably one-tenth Of
what Sunday says (to be more accur-
ate, the language in which he says it)
is susceptible of criticism. From the
standpoint Of morals and religion, the
other nine tenths is worthy; of the
highest commentator. The Times
Republican has given its readers the
truth, we'll stated and fairly proper
toned. In doing this it has rendered
the people of the state a valuable
service. 1t has used we'll the oppor-
tunity presented. Mr. Sunday ought
to be grateful. True, he has fought
his own fight and has won because he
had winning material in him, but his
standing in the state has neverthe-
less been wonderfully improved thru
the service of the Times Republican.
Keep Hoping.

Topics of the Times

The Seattle people turned out we'll
to the opening day of their big EXPOSE
ton with an attendance of $4,000.
That's starting right.
Perhaps it would be well to teach
somewhat of forestry in the schools.
AS matters stand, about nine pupils
out of ten can't tell red oak from
shagbark hickory tree.
Don't snub folks. A snubber is US
ually snob.
An average mule sells for about $40
more than an average horse There's
a suggestion for the Iowa farmer in
the difference.
There isn't any argument in the as
sertion that the bootlegger and the
bEndpig sell more than the saloon.
In the first place 1t isn't so, and in the
second place it is a charge of coward
ice,-and a just charge at that
against the men who profess to stand
against the traffic. The illegal joint
exists only becuse the men who deny
! 1t the right to live are too cowardly
or too careless to act as they talk. But
| it isn't an argument in favor Of the
| saloon.
| Is any Iowa farmer worrying over
a drouth?
A newspaper propounds the puzzle
question when is a car overcrowd-
ed?" The answer is easy. When it's so
crowded that the conductor can't find
a foothold on the straphangers' corns.
Senatorial courtesy is growing to-
ward discourtesy. It's hard to be cour-
teous over tariff bill with night ses-
sions In hot weather.
The expense of living is getting no
lower very fast.
Senator Elkins has made one tariff
statement which seems to have the
ring of truth. He says he'd rather swap
schedules with Aldrich because the
senator from Rhode Island can deliver
more"
I During the year 1908 the steam and
electric railroads of the United States
purchased more than 112,O00,000 cross
ties, costing, at the point of purchase
ovr s56,000,000, an average Of so cents
per tie, according to statistics just
made public by the bureau Of the CEN
sus in cooperation with the United
States forest service. This was some
100000 ties less than the quantity
purchased in 1907, the highest evel
recorded The decreased purchases IN
1908 were, of course, chiefly due to the
business depression which affected ev.
cry line Of industry. This forced mos
Of the roads to purchase only the tie:
which were absolutely essential fol
renwals, and heavily cut down the pur'
chase for new track. In 1908 only T.
$4,000 cross ties were reported as pur'
chased for new track as against 3d..
1857 900 in 1907. OF the total number o.
ties purchased for all purposes, tn,

MONEY IN DAIRY.
[west Union Argo.l.

EWSSI OlIIUu laISU'J
You don't have to go outside Fayette
country to find money in the ground.
A few days ago farmer living not
far from West Union presented him
self at one Of the local banks with a
milk can in mis- hand, and upon being
admitted to the back room turned out
before the banker the tidy sum OF se.-
900 in gold and silver coin, besides
some bills Altho the money had been
washed after being dug UP, particles
of sand adhered to the coins. 1t is said
that the owner of the money learned
that others had discovered its hiding
place, and for fear of being robbed
and perhaps killed, he had fastened
to put it in a bank for safety's sake.

Worked by a Book Agent.
A book agent Jared forth to Chicago
a few years ago and made an indie
pendent study of the Patten family.
Then he persuaded Mrs. Patten that
one set Of Theodore Roosevelt's works
was worth $4,000 because 1t was the
only set in the world ever offered for
sale at that price. he got away with
1t. But when he offered a set of
Shakespeare in the poets own hand
writing for about the same price a
vague suspicion took shape in the
plunger's mind that all was not as 1t
should be. For year he devoted
himself to the pleasing job Of getting
the book agent into a prison cell.
The things Patten did to Gates are
never mentioned by Gates in public
because the police won't allow his YER
sion. Late in 1908 Patten went in
with Plunger Livermore on a cotton
corner. Mr.. Lfvermore was observed
about August uttering loud cries Of
rage because "Patten had sold out on
him." Patterns answer was charac-
teristic. He said: 81 was afraid some
