Io,Ua Railroad Rates


from points beyond We're boosted. Iowa
was treated as a hostile territory and
Its people. Its manufacturers and ship
pers We're punished accordingly. Mil
lions were taken from the people of
Iowa un5ustly and the development of
Its factories and industries was
thwarted and dwarfed. The Iowa towns
We're treated as way stations. The
railroad rate makers issued a mandate
that Iowa should remain an agricul-
tural state. and all because the state
mad dared to fax its state rates. Iowa
was the first to venture on such rate
making and the railroads wanted to
show other states the folly and the evil
effects OF such efforts.
So Iowa had to be kept down, In
order that 1t Nigh, illustrate the evils
OF legislative interference with the
railroads in their desire to do as they
pleased in the matter of rates.
The rates that have recently been
called to public attention in Des Moines,
Ottumwa. Cedar Rapids, and now in
Sioux City, are all relics of those punt
tive rates which were put in many
years ago.
But the old order passes away. The
people OF this generation do not pro-
pose to accept any more punishm ent.
Ihe Iowa cities are insisting that they
snail be placed on level with other
cities. They are going to have Justice
because they are entitled to 1t.
The device that has been used In
Iowa has been a combination Of a
joint and local rate. Freights have
been brought to the borders OF tho
state and then the local rate has been
added. The railroads have said. THAT
is your own state rate, why aren't YOU
satisfied with it," But the local rate
added to thru rate to the river has
played havoc with Iowa. The thru rate
should have continued to Cedar RAPIDS
and Des Moires. II the railroads can
not see anything between the Mi.sis-
eippi and Missouri rivers. 1t f. time
that daylight was knocked into their
arrogant heads.
The old order has passed away.
Iowa now wants justice. The rail-
roads ought to do this state Justice.
The railroads owe great deal to Iowa.
Thfu bad weather and fair weather.
this state has offered the roads a con-
slant stream Of freight, both in and
out. At the present time the big Chi
cago shippers who have been favored
by the railroads. are lighting the ratl-
| roads on every hand
With the Iowa shippers 1t has no.
been a question Of the amount 81 the
rates. They would be willing to pay
the 10 per cent more, provided they
could have the assurance that they
| were placed on the same basis, in the
matter OF thru rates that are offered
to other communities.
It's equality that low. wants. and
that 1t Is going to insist upon.
In Cedar Rapids the Commercials
Club has undertaken to make the Ugh,
Tor the shippers. and every one In the
city and every one In Iowa ought e
get behind them. II Iowa does not &c,

she has IN the past.

"The pomp OF the recent Eucharistic
congress in Montreal was no doubt"
comments the Northwestern Christian
Advocate "a striking propaganda Cor
Roman Catholicism. but Roman Cath
olics in Canada have not had It all their
own way Notwithstanding. The great
BIZ Centenary Of the English church in
Canada was in progress at the same
time in Halifax, and the Brotherhood
OF st. Andrew convention in Montreal
during the week following was a great
event. Four thousand people listened
to the bishop OF London in his splendid
arena speech. and when he exclaimed I
am not a Roman Catholic because,
thank God, I am an English Catholic,
the whole enormous gathering rose to
its feet and broke into cheers that
lasted several minutes. That Is the
kind OF answer that Anglican church
men in Montreal-called a low church
city-send back to the Roman propa-
ganda; and well they know It Is the
only kind OF answer that meets Roman
claims upon their own ground"
Spiritual beauty comes from the
heart" says the Northwestern Chris
ton Advocate. in speaking OF THE
Beauty OF Character" A character
may be strong and even noble and
grand when its chief element Is duty,
the loyalty Of the will to conscience:
but in order that it may be beautiful
1t must have both freedom and feeling.
1t must have sympathy and spon-
taneousness. The virtue Of Jesus was
always beautiful. It was not hard for
him to be good. and his goodness was
never hard. His truth. his purity. his
fortitude, HIS Justice, were all filled
with love. His royalty was humility.
His moral strength was also human
tenderness He did not crush the
bruised reed. His supreme goodness
was ideal loveliness. To be clothed
upon witch his beauty is greatly to be
desired. Christians should not be con-
tent to be unloveiy. No pruning away
of infirmities can make US spiritually
beautiful. No moral gymnastics can
make our goodness graceful The es-
sentfal thing is that the loveliness OF
Christ be created within US by his
spirit; then something Of his beauty
will appear In our lives. Tho faiment
OF holiness is like that Of the flowers.
In order TO its being put on 1t must
first be within. Then 1t develops into
manifest ations. observation-disclosures Is a
very crude counterfeit OF spiritual
beauty. No formal obedience can copy
its grace. No moral cosmetics can
confer It's charms. It IS the manifesto
ton OF abundant spiritual health. It IS
the fruit Of the spirit, love, JOY, peace,
long-suffering, gentleness. goodness.
faith, meekness, temperance" It is the
result OF being rooted and grounded in
love-" Of being filled with all the full
ness Of God"

The Cedar Rapids Republican con-
cludes that nothing has been devel-
oped that shows to certainty that Mr.
Lorimer has been guilty of bribery, or
that he secured his election by the use
of money. The committee can do little
else than return a report to this effect
The evidence which has been brought
out may cause people to have their own
individual opinion as to what was done,
but so far as proving that the election
of Lorimer was brought about other
than by sharp political practice, it is
not sufficient"

her pocketbook several hundred dol.
lars in gold coin, with the written re-
quest to Mr.. Disbro that he add to the
store as he felt able and some day
present the whole to their children.
He faithfully followed the request,
with the result that there was more
than $4,000 when he died.
He cOnfided the secret to his second
wife and after his death she carried
out his wishes and divided the money
among his children. AS she had been
amply provided for in Mr.. Disbro's
will she refused any portion of tho
hoard. but the children insisted upon
her accepting a few Of the coins as a
token of their esteem.
