~ himself a candidate for congress.
His platform, which declares for
the initiative, referendum and re-
call, for postal savings banks local
lied and not centralized, and
against ship subsidies, makes this
further explanation of his views on
national questions:
II am an advocate OF u just sys-
tenn of taxation by which govern
ment shall be supported by tax
upon monopoly and not upon
thrift, upon privilege and not upon
labor; upon idleness and not upon
industry: upon those avenues Of
wealth now monopolized by the
pets OF privilege, not upon the
food and clothing and shelter Of
those whose enterprise and toll
create the wealth Of the world. l
am nm advocate Of the exemption

that commerce is the greatest civ
ilizing power in the world. and
that the removal from it OF all
taxes and other unnatural restric-
tons upon it will most contribute
to the building OF our merchant
marine and all other enterprises.
There are about sixty billions OF
dollars represented in the value OF
the land Of the United States, Of
which not more than ten billions
arc owned by the farmers Of this
nation. The government Of the

immense value one penny. ! pro-

THE 1909 CORN CROP.

The 1909 corn crop has not been
moving marketward in quantities
that might in reason be expected
fHom the size of the crop. The
small receipts during January of the
present year as compared with the
receipts of the preceding January
seem to be general throughout the
country. A statement recently given
out indicates that at the end of the
last week in January there were in
the elevators of leading cities the
following corn storages: In Chi
casp, 2,6S3,O00; in Baltimore, g.
303.O00; New Orleans. 1,19O, 900;
st. Louis, S5S,00O; Kansas City,
72S.0OO; New York, $4,000; In
dianapolis, 45S,OO0, and Boston,
100000. In numerous other cities
there were lesser amounts reported,
but in the aggregate only about
10.000,00o of bushels were reported
as being in city elevators. This
comparatively small showing is
doubtless mainly accounted for
by the fact that thousands \of
small elevators have in recent years
been erected in the corn territories.
Corn that is held back in expecta-
tion of an advance in price is now
most frequently kept in the local
storage-houses. The farmers will
surely not feed more than two
thirds of the big crop of last year
to stock. Several hundred millions
of bushels of 1909 corn should move
eastward between now and June 1.

Mr. Hart plans to have the inter-

connecting with about seven rail-
roads. He also plans to have the
street car line use the principal
streets of the city. The inter-urban
line is to carry freight and is to
bridge the Cedar river, which will
make the fourth bridge crossing the
river at that point.

1t will doubtless prove surprise
to many of the critics of the Payne
tariff law to learn that more than
half of the merchandise, measured
in terms OF value. imported during
the first six months of the operation
of the law came in free of duty. The
exact figures, including the six days
in August during which the Dingley
law remained in force, show that
SIS per cent came in free. This
is larger percentage of free i'm
ports than has occurred under any
previous bill except that of 1909,
which admitted sugar free of duty.
The principal articles which came
in free during the last six months
were hides and skins, India rubber,
pig tin, raw silk, fibres, COTTON, cop
per coffee, tea, cocoa, chemicals,
works of art and undressed furs.

GOVERNMENT OF ALASKA.

The administration is gravely con-
cerned, according to Washington ad-
vices, over the treatment which the
Alaskan government bill has re-
ceived at the hands of the Senate
Committee on Territories, which in
amending the measure has practic-
ally defeated the purpose of the
President. In the opinion of the
administration, so long as the af-
fairs of Alaska are left to the i'm
mediate direction OF Congress there
will be maintained an unsavory lob
by in Washington and improper in
fuences will be brought to bear to
obtain legislation inimical to the
best interests of the district. The
remoteness of Alaska and the IN
ability of members of Congress tC
judge Of the merits of the legislation
urged contribute chiefly to this re-
suit. Holding this view the admin
istration caused a measure to be
prepared which conferred on ccm-
mission, to be appointed by the
President, the power to prescribe
most of the laws, subject to the ap-
proval of Congress. The influence
which the great interests of Alaska
are always able to exert in Washing
ton has been utilized to defeat the
purpose of the President, but it is
hoped that the desired bill will be
passed by the House and that the
mistakes may be corrected in the
conference committee.

HALLEY'S COMET HERE ON 18TH
Celestial Wanderer Will Come Into
View During the Month of
February.

According to astronomers of note,
Halley's famous comet, now sweep
ing throughout space towards the
sun will appear to the naked eye
here on the 25th of February, so
Decorahians who were unable to
catch a glimpse of the wonderful
Johannesburg comet noted in this
section last week, had better keep
watch on or about the 25th, to be
able to note the celestial wanderer,
the heavenly hobo" as it has been
called, as it swings into view, won-
derful bit of light in the sky, and
an historical figure of the heavens
having been recorded in history time
and time again as it returns every
seventy-seven years from it's journey
away from the sun.
"Halley's comet will be visible to
the naked eye on or about the 25th
of February" said Prof. Denoyer Of
the Normal department of the La
Crosse school recently. "It is ex-
pected that the comet will be easily
discernible in the heavens and that
1t will remain for some time.
'sThe johannesburg comet, which
has been visible in the western sky

Back to the Land.

The great development now going
on all over the west, opening up to
settlement extensive areas of fertile
land by the construction of large
irrigation systems, is slowly swing
ing the pendulum of population from
the city to the farm. An interesting
feature of this shifting of popula-
ton. and one of profound economic
Importance to the country, is the
large number of city-bred people
who are seeking homes in the open
country. This is accounted for in
some degree by the fact that country
life in the west has grown more
and more attractive as population
increases. The farms are small
agriculture is inextensive, commun-
tiles are compact and neighborly,
rural delivery is established, the
country telephone is in operation
everywhere, schools are centralized,
and social conditions are actually
more suburban than rural in char
acter. With eight or more farm
houses located along each mile of
the highway, there is no isolation
or loneliness. With cheap water
power from the streams, and from
huge dams trolley lines are being
extended through the valleys. All
these factors are bringing the farm
er into the stimulating current of
the worlds daily thought and action,
quickening his ideas and broaden
ing his viewpoint.

LENT.

AS conducted in this country, the

for a brief period return to temper
ate table habits. Many designations
in the way of late hours are cut out,
extravaganza of living by people of
moderate means is avoided. and the
general result at the coming Of
Easter is an improvement in the
condition of the purse, digestion and

THE RELATIVE VALUE.

The number Of merchants who will
sit down and seriously argue that it
does not pay to advertise, is not
half as great today as it was five
years ago. The fortunes that have
been accumulated by successful adj
vertisers, the direct response of the
buying public to judicious publicity,
are such apparent facts as to have
convinced large share of the
former doubters. But occasionally
there is a merchant who gets it into
his head that there is some method
of getting at the public through
some means other than newspaper
space.
There is some serious objection
to every such method. Bill board
advertising runs up against the
growing hostility to the disfiguring
OF nature and our public streets.
Many people are resolving not to
patronize houses guilty of this dis
figuring form of advertising. Fur
thermore. there is no chance to
quote prices and describe goods in
this advertising in any rational way.
There is no logic in the bill board.
The latter point applies to pro-
gram advertising. 1t is not adver-
tising, merely a mental jolt. 1t
does nothing to convince the reader
that you have bargains, and hand
bill advertising always looks cheap.
1t is the newspaper only that gives
the chance for thoughtful presenta-
tion of business news.
