the niceties of dress, are uneasily con-

would give worlds for the courage to be
absolutely correct. The ladies and the

can men, in the matter of clothes, are
a shabby and craven company.

Members OF the Central Labor Union
In attendance at the meeting last night
were UP in arms against the Chamber Of
Commerce because they thought the cham
Der had been unresponsive In the matter
or cooperation to secure the next fed
Grafton convention, and was therefore an
tagonistic to organized labor.
For some time prior to the assembling
OF the federation in annual convention a,
ST. Louis, which cyan fits two-weei
session in that city Yesterday morning,
the central body here has had committees
AT work to secure. IL possible, induce
nlents TO proffer the national body to
select Washington as the meeting place
OF the next convention. The Chamber
OF Commerce was appealed to for some
assistance, and II had been expected by
the local members OF organized labor that
the chamber would cooperate in the
movement.
President Colpoys Of the central body
declared last night that the convention
committee Of the Chamber Of Commerce
had failed to act with the Central Labor
Union regarding the securing Of the
American Federation Of Labor annual
meeting and therefore plainly demonstrat.
ed that the chamber was opposed to or
ganized labor.
After discussion. 1t was decided by the
central body to renew the efforts to OBJ
tain the convention regardless OF the &C.
ton OF the Chamber Of Commerce.

GOING DOWN HI,I

Is there moi reason for the insurg-
.ency Of Senators Dolliyer and Cunl-
Minis? Both reside in Iowa--the rich
est agricultural sovereign state With
in the confines Of the United States
or our dependent territories?
That state has gone ten years and
suffered a loss of population.
Cities have multiplied in number;
The state has increased its taxable
property more than thirty per centum
vet 1t has less people today thar
this day ten years agone
Iowa IS wholly agricultural, with
such attendant industries in the man
utacturing line as may be cared fol
IN that agricultural domain
Iowa farms are improved, her rail
way facilities superb; proximity tC
market splendid and all that, but tht
special privileges granted to Other
communities show that Iowa, a won
oerful producer of cereals, can no
produce a population that can make
;he average increase Of population.
Iowa believes this due 10 presen
conditions brought about by Republic
on legislation and wishes a change.
Perhaps the Iowa idea" is bette
for all---certain II Is not bad for ou
country, II we but follow 1t out.

Belshazzar the king made a great

drank wine before the thousand.
Belshazzar. while he tasted the
Wine commanded to bring the golden

Nehuchadnezzar had taken out OF the
temple which was in Jerusalem; that
the king and his princes. his wives,

cubines, drank in them.
They drank Wine and praised the
gods of gold, and OF silver, of brass,
of iron. Of wood and of stone.
In the same hour came forth fin
gers of a. mans hand, and wrote over
against, the candlestick upon the plas-
ter Of the wall of the kings palace:
and the king saw he pa t of the hand
that wrote.
Then the kings countenance was
changed. and his thoughts troubled
him, SO that the joints of his loins
were loosed. and his knees smtoe one
against another,
The king cried aloud to bring in
the astrologers, the Chaldeans. and
the sooth-sayers. And the king spake
and said TO the wise men Of Babylon,
Whosoeyer shall read this writing,
and shew me the Interpretation
thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet,
and have chain OF gold around his
neck, and shall he the third ruler In

Then came In all the kings wise
men but they could not read the WRIT
ing, nor make known 10 the king the
Interpretation thereof.
Then was king Belshazzer greatly
troubled, and his colintenance was
changed Ia him, and his lords were
astonied..
