Supreme Test for / ATE YOUNG.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: Senator
LATE Young has been asked by an
eastern widow to find her husband.
Senator Youns's ability to properly
represent Iowa is to be put to the
test right off the bat He has posed
as something of booster for Iowa.
In fact he claims to be an original
Iowa booster. Let him prove up now
or get off the perch. The widow is
forty-hve years old and has three
daughters. If LATE can find for the
widow husband in Iowa and induce
her to come to this state. there's an
addition of four to the population to
start with.
Late Young has done greet deal
of boasting about his boosting. Now
let's see the texture Of the goods he
can produce.

MERITS oE coNFuclANlsM.

DR.. Arthur H. Smith of Tien Tsin.
China. told Boston audience few
days ago that our popular notion that
the Chinese are living in total moral
obliquity was wholly wrong. On the
contrary. he said. the Chinese have
in Confucianism religion admirably
fitted to certain high moral ends.
Then he added:
Missionaries in China have no
quarrel with Confucianism. Confu-
cianism is one of the noblest collec-
tons of thought anywhere outside of
Christianity Missionaries in China
have issued a tract entitled Christ
ianity as a Supplement TO Confuei-
anism.''
Which was. we suspect, rather q
new view for a typical missionary
audience in America.

time their wives were attentive and
very interested listeners. The con-

that they could shuck fifty bushels

Our informant states that the ladies
gathered and returned to the house
with fifty bushels in three hours and
their husbands coming in an hour

Although badly defeated the men

CORN KING THIS YEAR.
Farmers Engaged In Putting Away
Biggest Crop in
Years.

Burlington Hawk.Eye: The corn.
gathering operations are under way,
and the farmers are on the jump In
putting away the big crop that will
make Iowa more famous than ever
when the returns are published.
With monster corn crop there
will be heavier feeding of live stock.
The shipments of hogs to the Chicago
market shows an increase over last
year at the same period. Last seasons
sensational prices are remembered,
and ii is not likely that that mark will
be touched again FOR some time.
The abundance or shortage of hogs
not only affects the meat prices, but
it also affects grain prices and the
grain situation in general, II was said
last summer that after the long
drought threatened 10 damage the
corn crop. the farmers of this vicin-
ity were selling their hogs, To great
extent this was true The farmers
feared that the drought would cut
them short OF corn crop, and this
would result In a serious scarcity OF
hog feed. They feared if corn was
scarce during the winter months. ey-
cry farmer would be selling his hogs
and the prices would soar skyward
During the summer hog prices were
high enough 10 tempt the farmers
and consequently many hogs were
sold
Persons who we're interested in
the situation had the dope right so
far as the selling of hogs was con-
cerned, but they did not have it right
about the scarcity of hogs. These
same persons believed there were but
very few hogs in the country, that
there would be little live stock to eat
the farmers grain, and that as a re.
suit the farmer would be forced to
sell most OF it This would mean over
flooding the market with grain, and
in turn, low prices.
The hog shortage talk continued I'M
til. within short time ago, for the
young hogs were still too small
for market Now, however, the
situation is rapidly changing. Far
mers say the hog crop Is wonder.
That such is the case can be inferred
from the fact that the farmers are
not selling their gain. Corn prices are
fairly good just now. and the national
crop pror y IS to cause slump in
these same corn prices about Janu-
airy. But the farmers are keeping their
corn for they have hogs enough to
feed, and before they would sell at
existing prices, they would turn it in
to porkers on the hoof and thus get
bigger profits.

If the Anti-Saloon League prosecu-
tions in Keokuk are in good faith for
the purpose of putting the saloons out
of business the question It once
arises whether keokuk is to have the
responsible and regulated saloon or
the irresponsible and unrcgulated
bootlegger: whether the traffic is to
be kept in the open where it can be
controlled, or driven into hiding where
Il cannot be reached There is no
question which is the better for Keo-
kuk. and which Keokuk. after actual
experience with both plans, prefers.

The saloon Injunction Cases.

Fort Madison Democrat. Inc heO-
kuk cases were brought in the same
manner and on the came vague
charges as were those in Fort Madi-
son. The suits were filed in Keokuk
by a citizen who confessedly knew
nothing regarding the conduct of the
saloons proceeded against, just as the
Fort Madison suits were filed. The en-
tire situation-here, in Keokuk and
in Burlington-is annoying to the
average citizen and wholly without
warrant of fairness; it has the back
ing of no considerable number OF citi-
zens in either place.
The whole situation is brought
about by unwise and inexcusable leg
islation on the liquor question-the
licensing, by the .tate of the break
ing of law for a monetary considera.
tion-the mulct law.
The sooner the people Of Iowa come
to realize that each community should
be given the power to regulate its
own affairs regarding the sale of IL
quors, under wholesome. not techni.

sooner they will be better off Until
