student, with an accurate mind and
well thought outconclusions, yet has
time to be serene and to take a whole
view of life He is sprung from fam
lily that goes back to the days of the
Mayfiower and is himself the father
of seven, of whom his proudest boast
is that they have not a blemish.
Rather inspiring type, Is he not,
this man. who has brought the sugar
trust to its knees and is now engaged
in Strengthening out the Philadelphia
traction middle? He is. clear cut and
does not mince words, as was proved
by. his laconic statement of the manner
In which he had laid the sugar trust
evidence before the last administration
and urged it to prosecute under the
criminal clause of the antitrust law.
That sugar affair is story in itself,
one that would require more than one
newspaper page adequately to tell, but
In brief may be summarized as fol-
bows:
How Sugar Trust Removed a Rival.
Adolph Segal, an Austrian promoter
and dreamer of dreams, got into the
sugar refinery habit-that is, he would
build re6neries for the trust to buy
out and shut down. Finally he absorb
ed the old Pennsylvania Sugar Rein
Ing company and built big refinery
In Camden, n. J. About thatttime he
needed million dollars, or q million
and a quarter, to be exact, and tried to
borrow ofssome Philadelphia friends.
Enter at this point Gustav e. Kissel,
10 benevolent New York gentleman,
who told Segal that there were plenty
of New York dollars that were, simply
Iyearnfng to be loaned out, and why
should he bother with these Philadel-
phia persons? This sounded to Segal
pike ready money, and as that was
what he wanted, and wanted right
away, Kfssel ewas+taken on promptly
and with joy. When it came to the
matter Of collateral security our New
I2orkrcash proposition was not quite so
benevolent as he at first appeared. He
wanted not only the first mortgage on
d big hotel of 'Segafs, but-and this
was more important--the bonds, stocks
andsvoting control of the sugar REIN
cry. AS poor Segai still had to have
the money. the security was torthcom-
Ing, whereupon Kissel gave himself q
good commission for making the loan,
elected himself and three Of his clerks
directors of the Pennsylvania Sugar
Refinery company and proceeded to
shut down the CaMde len, works. At this

DAVIS COUNTY, DlckEYs AND RULERS,

Governor Carroll milks his own COW.
The state can stand for that and even
approve of it. But when Governor
Carroll insists on wearing his coat in
his office during the present heated
term he stands too pat 1t is against
the sentiment and established custom
of Iowa to wear a coat on hot day
In July.
It is we'll that in the crude social
order incident upon youthful, vigorous
and busy states like ours that our
rulers are not permitted to fix fashions
immutably. Were King Edward to wear
an Irish frieze ulster at a Fourth of
July celebration hundreds of thous-
ands of English hearts of oak would
cover themselves with last winters
overcoats. Here in Iowa it is different.
Governor Carroll might wear a prince
albert made in boiler factory and cast
icon pantaloons but the ordinary rude
and unrestrained Iowan would peel
down to a gauze undershirt and linen
pants and court the cooling breezes
unabashed and unheeding. We don't
pay much attention TO our rulers in
Iowa until they do something which
displeases US politically. They may
wear what they please, conforming to
the ordinances as regards decency,
swelter in coat or sit in the draft in
their shirtsleeves. But down in his
heart the man in shirtsleeves will Won
der why any man with sense enough to
grab off a governorship wants to bot
tie himself up in a coat in weather like
this.
A horrid suspicion may cyoss some
to conceal celluloid collar, or worse
yet, that he may be addicted to dick
eys. Down in Davis county, years ago,
dickeys were fashionable as we'll az
convenient. There was one kind of cir
cular dickey calculated to last an en-
tire week. 1t was subdivided into seven
triangular sections like pie in fam
lily with five children. 1t was secured by
a central rfvet or bearing to the shirr
front and the wearer turned 10 the gaze
of an admiring populace a nev section
and a new combination of colors every
morning except Sunday. which called
for the white section. Given one of
these dickeys, a celluloid collar and a
coat-and of course trousers-the elite
of Davis county was dressed up for
seven consecutive days.
Governor Carroll is from Davis coun-
~. Is it barely possible that-but no,
perish the thought.

The money Segal had borrowed was
sugar trust money. The object Of the
octopus wassto put him out of bust

works were shut down. nutil she paid
the loan, and he could .notepay the loan
until he coulda run his refinery, and
make some money. The trust had him
coming and going.
One Man Driven to Suicide.
There is more of the story, though
that is the nMb Oft. The Real Estate
Trust Company Of Philadelphia was In.
yolved with ;Segal, and when the sugar
trust pressed. for payment of its loan
the Real Estate Trust company went
to the wall and its president, Frank
Nipple, committed suicide. 1t was here
that Earle came into the game. He
had already Strengthened out the at
fairs of number Of failed banks and
had reputation as financial doctor
and life saver. He was therefore made
receiver Of the Real Estate Trust, and
from that hour the benevolent sugar
octopus did not have things so much
Its own way. Earle found plenty Of IN
eliminating evidence against the gem
tlenen Of sugar and proceeded to use it
First he laid 1t before Attorney Gen.
eral Bonaparte, and when that gentle
man failed to act Mr.. Earle brought
suit on his own hook. 1t was this suit
which the sugar trust recently settled
out of court by, the payment Of $4,000
600, the surrender of all the securities
put up by Segal and the cancellation

the 200 acres and the chances are
that If he had it to do over again he
would refuse to sell even at that
figure. IS
This incident shows the rapid I'M
crease in the value of Iowa farm
land-it is one of the multitude of
instances that prove there is big
money to be made in investing in
Iowa land.
The farm that sold at an advance of
$2o per acre will probably command
an additional increase of $40 per acre
in a very few more years. The limit
has not been reached.
Iowa land will increase in value
just as rapidly as cheaper land else
where. 1t may increase more rapid

INVEST IN IOWA LANDS.
TCedar Rapids Gazette.

A Jones county farmer bought $50
acres of land two years ago paying
what he considered as very fair price
therefor. The other day a fellow
drove up ito the place and asked the
farmer ,.what he would take for 200
acres of the land and give possession
at once. The farmer studied, a MP
ment and finally set a price of $40 per
acre in excess of wlat3he had paid for
the land. He thought ,dle had fixed
the price high enough so that the
offer would be refused. But the Wis
itor jumped at the aprice and the,
deal was closed. The farmer cleared,
