more valuable than household furni-
ture having barely opportunity to take
that with them when they were driven

of the cruel edict is that "the Jews

pealed to Stolypin, an ~anti-Semite. The
order of expulsion was at once pro-
mulgated," Kieff a been divided into
four sections, and a high government
official is in charge of each, with po-
lice and soldiers assigned to assist in
the evictions. The government has
made no provision for the eNi]es. They
do not know where to turn.
But Russia is not the only country
guilty of such folly, n the Jewish
race isn't alone in such sacrificing.

HIDE AND SEEK POLITICS,

Under the above title Woodrow Will
keon, president of Princeton University,
contributes an interesting alalysls OF
our political ills to the current number
of the North American Review" 1t is
/ also an explanation OF the Snort pai-
lot movement, OF which the author is
the leader. Protesting against the
present long ballot, "the needless
multiplioity of elective Offices" he
writes:
1--WE have given the people something
so vast and complicated to do in ask
ing them to select all the officer OF
government that they can not do it. 1t
must be done for them by professionals.
There are SO many men 70 be named
for office: it is futile to name. one or
two unless you name a whole ticket;
the offices thai fill a ticket are so many
and 50 obscure that it is impossible the
thing should be done Informally and
off-hand by direct, unassisted, popular
choice. There must be a preliminary
process of selection. of nomination, OF
preparing the ticket as a whole, un-
less there is to be hopeless confusion,
names put up at ~haphazard and NOBODY
elected by a clear majority at the end.
The machine is as yet an indispensable
instrumentality of IL politics.
After explaining that machines n
parties are two very different things.
DIR. Wilson goes on to show that the
machine can be made unnecessary ny
simplifying the duties of citizenship, as,
&c instance, in Glasgow. Il of the
best governed cities in the world.
1.-THE voters connection with the
government of that city is very simple.
He votes for only one person, the
councilman from his ward. That is MS
whole ticket. In its simplicity lies his
power. He does not need the assistance
of professional politicians to pick out
a single candidate for a single conspic-
uous office. Any group of interested or
public-spirited neighbors can do that
DR.. Wilson also points out that tbs
relative success of the government OF
Galveston by a commission of five
men is dependent upon the same sim
plicity in the voters task. n con-
cludes:

open way by which we can return to
representative government. 1t is the
high duty of every lover of p%olitica.

NEED TO JOIN HANDS.
INIT. Vernon Recordl.

The conclusion grows that II Iowa
goes s%tandpat at the June primary. 1T
Will mean tina Governor Carroll will
later be a United States senator. and
that Senator Dolliver will come home
for a vacation when his term expires,
with Senator Cummins Joining him in
a retirement later.-Davenport Demo
crat.
Possibly this comment, from a demo-
cratic source. will arouse the friends of
Senator Dolliver in Iowa. For it is
certain that if his friends. help to head
off the movement against both senators
by nominating Mr.. Garst for governor
and selecting delegates who will en-
dorse the senator's, they cannot expect
any enthusiastic support from the
friends of Senator Cummins in two
years when Governor Carroll, if sue
c~essful. will be a candidate for the SEN
ate against Senator Dolliver.
The time to act is now. The friends
of Senator Dolliver and the friends
of Senator Cummins should lay aside
any past differences and get together.
They must lay aside past differences
and nominate Mr.. Garst if Senator Doll
liver is to be renominated. His friends
cannot expect to lend strength to a
movement aimed at both senators this
year. and then get support from Sena
tor Cummins' friends in two years.

BUSINESS AT LEADING POINTS.
Uneasiness in Financial Circles Some
what Allayed.


New York, May 9.-The unsettled
and ~apprehensive feeling prevailing for
some time past in the
markets, resulting in declining prices
for stocks and extreme depression Tor
bonds. has been allayed to some extent.
there has been a Disappointing
check to the buoyant movement exist

of the year The causes of the
recession were partly economic, partly
1t is to be noted, however,
that the effect upon the industrial
mercantile situation has been slow,
and in some parts of the country 1T was
hardly noticeable. Some Improvement
has occurred in financial conditions.

Chicago.-Unseasonable weather con-
tinued to interrupt operations in the
leading retail lines and outside con-
struction. Crop marketings were also
reduced and the markets for bread
stuffs and provisions exhibit lessened
activity. Arrivals of livestock remain
inadequate for packing needs; but
prices of hog products advanced, and
the monthly statement shows available
supplies in store less than a month age

sections indicate that winter wheat is

THE FIELD.

Eastern advices report d doubtful
feeling in business circles caused by
heavy liquidation OF stocks, securities
and commodities. The rumors Of
trouble in business fields come from the
east. The middle west has few bust
mess troubles.
The ominous note IS merely noise.
Liquidation and somewhat lowered
prices are not to be taken as unhealthy
but the reverse. Present prospects are
for an increased volume of trade.
Where there has been falling off for
certain manufactures there has been
increased demand for others. In in
stances which may be quoted from
Iowa factories are running far short OF
the demand because they fear to Dor
row large sums in the face OF possible
labor trouble.
Railroad earnings are larger. Bank
clearances have increased. Retail BUS
mess reports show advances. If there
is falling off in demand for certain
commodities it may be aid to exorbi-
family high prices and the general COM
plant against the cost Of living which
has resulted in individual efforts tow
ard economy.
Lower prices are the best pledges
to continued prosperity. That r%etrench-
ment has forced reductions is not an
omen of hard times but Of continued
good times.

TAKING CENSUS IN KNOXVILLE.
Knoxville Journal.

In a quiet, l~aw-abiding oWn like
Knoxville the national census-taker
meets with no more difficulties than
does a township assessor or. a grocer's
delivery clerk. But in a real city he
way of the enumeIator is hard. and the
bannister which he is daily compelled
to slide is plentifully beset with knots
and splinters. Such at least was the
experience of one Of the scensus-takers
at Des Moines last week.
A robust Swede woman by the name
of johnson keeps a rooming house at
Steenth and Walnut streets where lodg-
ings are furnished for about so men.
The census man left a half hundred
slips with Mrs. johnson and told her
to see that her bearders filled them out.
Mrs. Johnson refused to nave any
thing to do with the matter. Whereup-

Dancer in the West.

[Springfeld, CMass.) Republican,.
The danger spot in he present spec
ulative situation in the west, and its
land boom is the danger. All accounts
agree that this speculation in farm
lands spreads over the entire western
part Of the country and'is running to
excuses. And it is just as much a
margin" speculation 81 any ever
known in the stock market, which the
west always looks upon as mere gamb-
ling with other peoples money. Lands
are bought at higher and higher prices
and mortgaged to the top notch Tor
money with which to move on and buy
more land. 1t is safe to say that the
next panic, unlike that OF 1907. will
start in the west.
