MAKING EN- SQUIRNI.

Retribution is not slow in falling
upon Republican newspaper publish
ers who had aided and encouraged
the foisting upon the public of the
Aldrich-Payne tariff monstrosity.
Unfortunately, however, for these
editors, who had no hand in the
tariff outrage, they suffer equally
with the other guilty brethren.
The G.. O. P. organs which found
good in all high tariff schedules ex-
cept those affecting their own inter-
ests, thought they had things fixed
up" to insure a reduction in the tar
if on wood pulp and print paper that
would enable them to throw off the
manacles of the paper trust. Now
they have another think coming
They discover that they were fooled
In reality they will have to pay great
err tribute than ever to the paper
trust The supposed reduction in the
tariff turns out in fact to be clever
ly-concealed increase. The price of
paper will soar to greater heights
than it has ever attained before judg-
ing from the Indifference with which
the paper companies view the
propositions to renew contracts at
CAloClllS loLOso.
That is not the only factor in
newspaper production that is affected
by the new tariff, however. Publish
ers who use linotype and stereotype
metal have been notified of advances
in the prices of these products since
the Payne-Aldrich bill became law.
Type, naturally, will follow the same
course. Press blankets go up in
price along with all cloth fabrics
1t will be difficult to find any ma
terial used in the newspaper office
that is not taxed more heavily by the
new measure. 1t means millions of
dollars loss to the newspaper pub
fishers of the country.
Under the circumstances our Re-
publican editorial friends can not be
blamed if they now exhibit wry
face in singing the praises of protec-
ton. They are being hit hard, but
they deserve it.-St. Joseph OBJ
server.

IOWA LAND VALUES.

The possibilities of the soil of
Iowa as an asset are subject of
never ending speculation. In the
upward trend of values where will
the end be found? The Vinton
Eagle tells of the sale of farm near
that town few days ago at the price
of $3.50 an acre. Two years ago
farm of about the same quality in
the same vicinity sold for $3.50 an
acre. A little later sale was made
at S143, an acre, and now comes the
$160-an-acre transaction.
There is no boom or speculative
price involved in any of these sales, y
says the Eagle. ut is natural in
crease in price coming with the de-
mand for good farms. The buyers do
not stop to speculate as to per cent.
They want the land and are willing
to pay the price that will induce the
holder to let CO."
To the man who looks for land in
a newer region for investment it is
said that he would better buy Iowa
land. The increase per acre here,
he is told, will be greater than in the
undeveloped regions during the next
few years. Ordinarily, this might
be answered by the suggestion that
while the increase in the value per
capital invested would likely not be,
since, if one were to buy Iowa land
at 500 per acre and Colorado land
for $40 and presently be able to sell
for S110 in one case and $40 in the
per acre in both cases, but would
of ~
Iowa while he would double his mon
ey in Colorado. In such cases as that
cited from Vinton, however, with an
increase from $3.50 to $3.50 an
acre in two years, it would look as if
this and the greater security af-
forded by the known possibilities of
the land in this state should turn the
scale in favor of the Iowa invest
ment.
William E. Curtis writes from
Hood River, Ore, to the Chicago
RecordHerald telling of the won
ders of the appleindustry in the Hood
River valley, how men starting in
with nothing have made fortunes in
a few years, how land once thought
to be of little value is now worth
from $500 to $4,000 an acre, etc.,
all because of the yield of Spitzen-
bergs and Pippins. Well, what of it ?
We just hear from Mills county,
Iowa, that a hotel man at Glenwood
who has as a side issue a little
orchard of 100 acres near Pacific
Junction, will clear from his iona
thans this year between $4,000 and
$4,000. This is Iowa! We dare
even Hood River to beat it.
| Iowa land is a choice investment
for the man who knows how to han
die it. We have no doubt that the
buyer of the $3.50 land near Vinton
and the owner of the Mills county
orchard alike know what they are
about, in which respect they both
resemble the apple growers of Hood
River.

How Okiahoma's Bank Guarantee
Works.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Sept. 80
State Bank Commissioner Young,
who yesterday took charge of the
Columbia Bank and Trust Co. with
deposits aggregatlng po,OU0,OO0, to
day began paying depositors dolla'
for dollar on their claims.
Payment, it was announced, will
be continued until all depositors are
satisfied.
The bank guarantee fund, to-
gether with the available assets of
the bank, will be used in satisfying
the claims.
When the bank doors were opened
today stacks of bags filled with gold
and silver and piles of currency were
in the cage of the paying teller. Less
than 100 persons were waiting for
admittance and there was no excite
ment Of this number not to exceed
10 per cent were women
At noon the crowd had increased
to over 200, the number of women
having grown. Occasionally. women,
tired of waiting, however, gave up
their place in line and went home to
lunch.
Practically all appeared to be in
comfortable circumstances.
But few men in laboring clothes
were there.
The acts Of the officer or officers
of the bank that caused the failure
are yet a secret, though there are
innumerable stories aflOat.

A POLAR EXPEDITION.

The above name was given by
member of Taft's party to the trip
across Iowa by the president. The
Des Moines Capital continues to be-
moan the fact that the other news
papers of that city and the people in
general did not extend the glad
warm hand to the president. Well,
if Iowa does give republican
majority at the polls, she recognizes
party honor when she sees it and no
amount of official glamour is going
to dim the vision of her people to the
plain fact that in signing the Payne
Aldrich bill President Taft did not
keep his pledges to his party made
before the election. His big trip of
explanation, (paid for by the peo-
pies money!, may explain to some
states We are glad that Iowa is not
one of them. And before the next
election we opine that the Cannon
Payne-Aldrich faction and their
complaisant president will find them
selves in the throes of a glacial
period of greater severity than any
hardships encountered by DR.. Cook
or Commander Peary in the polar
regions.

IOWA DEMOCRATS OPPORTUN-
ITY

Opportunity is pounding on the
door of Iowa's democratic party
with maui. The noise of the pound
ing resounds throughout the state.
1T is heard from Allamakee county
to Fremont and from Lee to Lyon.
The republican party through it's
leaders are Sin bad" with the peo-
pie. The rank and file of the party
is showing unmistakeable signs of
disgust. They see their great organ
ization passing into the control Of
that element that radically believes
that virtue can be legislated into
men. All parties have more or less
of this persuasion. 1t requires a
long time to work all the traces of
puritanism out of men. AS the poet
says, knowledge comes, but wis
dom fingers"
The republican party leaders in
Iowa have developed into small fry
politicians. There isn't good
healthy, game fish in the whole
bunch, but minnows like Carroll,
Byers and Cosson are multiplying
with marvellous fecundity in the
field of statecraft. They rattle
around like grains of mustard seeds
in big tin wash boiler. And their
annoyance is like that of little red
pismires at picnic. Their inverted
visions can see only their little
selves-and they imagine them
selves to be whales of bull species.
Their followers are sick and sore
of such leaders, but 1T appears that
they are unable to shake them off or
to replace them with better stuff.
And the Iowa democrats have
been sitting down like lot of Indians
at dog feast watching the stew,
but never saying word, never ut
tering a protest against the bad
cooks who are spelling the broth.
This course is a tacit support of the
proceeding and a shameful neglect
of an opportunity that comes to a
minority party only on rare oc-
casion.
If the Iowa democrats will arouse
or wake from their stupor and make
an earnest and honest effort to give
the state such laws as would merit
the respect of men of good judgment
and broad views they can sweep the
state like political hurricane-and
sweep it clean. Good old Horace
Boies did it once, and the time is
ripe for another cleaning, the time
is at hand to file an effective protest
against all encroachments on the
policy Of the home rule
Thousands of republicans will aid
in movement of this nature and in
such aiding they do not sacrifice one
jot of their political principles. They
realize that no other course is open
no other means will so thoroughly
penetrate ''the spot" of their discon.
tent. They further realize that
4 through the minority party the
# warts or excrescences of the majority
party can be eXciSed or cut off.
But the democrats must take the
Initiative in this reform. The oppor.
tunity begs them to act in good
faith. This is all they are required
to do-the people of Iowa, the sober
sensible, level-headed people will
finish the Williamsburg Jour

duty on hides is to protect the Iowa
