Il Starts Growing In the Open, but
Finishes Under Ground.
Most people of the north suppose
that peanuts grow. like potatoes, on the
roots Of the vine Others with equal
confidence state that they hang from
the branches like pea pods. Both are
right, and both are wrong. The peanut
starts In the air and sunlight above
ground In the shape of a flower grow
ing at the end Of long tube. After
the fall of blossoms this tube, or pc
duncle, elongates and bends down
ward. pushing itself inches into the
ground. If for any reason 1t cannot
do this it dies In a few hours. But
If 1t succeeds in burying itself to its
own satisfaction the ovary at the base
of the peduncle slowly enlarges and
forms the familiar pod, which Is there

bercles, in which, by the aid of good
microscope, can be seen myriads OF
minute organisms. These bacteria-like
bodies, though they get their living
from the plant. contribute materially
to its supporting by collecting nitrogen
from the air and holding it In storage

as need requires. These wonderful
little storehouses often contain. by
analysis. a greater supply Of this in

The native country of the peanut has
long been a matter of dispute, but the
department of agriculture states thai
the weight of evidence seems to be IL

importance that America has given t.

FAvoRs CLIFFORD rHoRSE.

Nevada Representative, Standpatl.
Mr.. Thorne is an extremis, on the
subject of railroad regulation. He is
a young man of very exceptional talent
and specialist Oh transportation sub
jects. The extent of his information is
rotable, and if his command Of facts
shall prove TO be supported by the
proper balance Of judgment he will be
about the most useful man that has
ever sat on the railroad commission.
What the railroad people believe Of
him. however, is that Se is absolutely
partisan in his view Of things and that
if he could have his way in the matter
Of fixing rates. about all he would
leave to the railroads would be the
right of way. They look upon him as
a pubic enemy-Wfich in fact he would
be if their estimate of him should prove
10 be correct. The attitude of this pa
per. both in the primaries and at the
present time, has been and is to recog-
nize Mr.. Thorne's ability and to give
him the benefit Of the doubts as to his
purposes We would not for a moment
however, stand for the proposition OF
having two men like him on commits
sion of three. and in advising. as we
do that the revolt against him be dis
couraged our thought is that upon such
a commission 1t is proper to have one
radical man.

lin GOOD AND LABOR.

On another page OF the Times Re-
publican today Congressman Good pays
attention to a circular which has been
widely distributed in an effort TO es-
tablish a charge of unfairness to labor
organizations against the congressman n
The circular urges the Inference of I'M
fairness to labor because the congress-
man voted against the Hughes amend
ment" to an appropriation bill.
Mr.. Goods analysis of the amend
ments, its purposes and his reasons TOT
voting against it should be entirely
satisfactory TO all fair minded men in
and out OF la Dor unions.
Organized labor can not, nor Will
any large and intelligent portion OF II
suffer itself to be placed in the position
of demanding for its members priv
ileges and immunities under the law
which IL does not demand and defend
for all. Equality under the law Is the
llevstone Of civic and Industrial tree
dom. When Good voted against an
amendment to create by law speciai
class under special immunity from law
he defended the key 20 organized Ia
bor's strongest position and supported
IFS strongest claim for recognition
That is what organized labor stands
for first When Good stands for that
EQUALITY and votes against special priv
iIeee. he is standing for organized
labor,s best and most vital interests,
not against them.
The proof of the pudding IS IN chew
ing the string. The republican votes
among the labor unions of Cedar Rap
ids will be cast for Jim Good. That is
the situation at Belle PLANE also In
Cedar Rapids Good IS we'll known as
a friend of union labor. He has proved
that over and over again in that city.
1t is not of record that he is considered
as ANYTHING but fair in his home
and adjacent towns and that is
much better guide for labor voters than
the charge Of a labor circular TO the
effect that ne was NOT coWardly enough
to vo,e for an amendment IN which
the con gress of the United States af-
fording special privileges and exemption
TO one class over another. Congress-
men who ara fair 20 labor can not be
unfair 10 other men. All union labor
and ali other organizations which are
destined 70 live and make history can
ask is simply a square deal for every
man. millionaire or wage worker.
That's what j. w. Good voted for when
he opposed the Hughes amendment.
Had it offered immunity 70 any other
class, would union labor favor it and
consider those who voted for II "fair?"

since that time finds expression in
many ways. Let us consider the one
matter OF wages. According to authen-
tic recvords on fife in the state bureau
Of labor at Des Moines, brick masons
in those democratic days were receiv-
hours a day. Today they are receiv-
ing 20 cents an hour and working eight
hours. Carpents in 1898 were receive
ing 171s cents an hour for ten hou:
days. Now they are receiving so cents
an hour for eight hours. Painters re-
ceived 17H cents an hour in 1898 ana
today they receive 40 cents. AS in
the other cases. the working day has
been reduced from ten to eight hours.
A comparison of the wages paid .u-:-
mon laborers now and in 1893 shows
that there has been an increase Of
from 1919 cents TO 80 cents an hour.
Complaint is made in the name Of
the wage Garner that the cost Of living
has advanced. So it has. But what of
this advance in wages? The question
is whether the mans wages of today
buy for him and his family more Of the
comforts of life than did his wages OF
that day. That is not the whole of 1t,
tho. for account must be taken OF
those who were getting no Wages then
as against the good wages they are
getting now
other issues rightfully challenge the
attention OF laboring men. but to them
the one most vital issue IS prosperity.
AT least il is so with those among
them who are old enough to have bat
tied thru those democratic days OF
the COS.
