The Glorious Harvest OF 1910.

The delay of the frost will bring
four hundred million bushels more
of corn to the fields than was esti-
mated four weeks ago. and there
will be twenty-five million bushels
more of wheat than was expected a
few weeks ago. 1t is now certain
that the corn crop for the year will
be little over three billion bushels.
That of oats will be million bush
els. The cotton crop is somewhat
short, but will very likely bring as
much money as the more bountiful
harvests of other years. 1t is esti-
mated that at the present prices the
value Of the agricultural production
of the country for the year will not
be under $9,5OO,O00,0OO. OF this
amount $2,000.00O,00O represents
the profit to farmers, which is with
in $350.000,00O Of the net value of
the production of all the mines dur
ing the present year. Within the
last ten years the farmers have
cleared off s6,00O,O00,O0O of mort
cages from their property. The
holdings of the farmers are $3,50O,-
100000 greater than the capitaliza-
ton OF all the steam and electric
railroads and all the manufactures
of the country.-Ferdinand C. Ingle-
hart, ID. d.. in the Christian Herald.

THE AFTER ELECTION VIEW.

1t is fortunate that neither party
is so black and futile as the oppos-
ing orators try to prove in the CAM
paign melee. Some people are al
ways cherishing the dream, too, that
some day the good men will all get
together in one party, and bring ON
a day of stainless political purity.
Good and evil are inextricably
mixed, and such an alignment is
not likely before the Judgment day.
There is so much amiable folly, that
most people tie up with selfish men
who have some common sense, rath-
er than with spotless dreamers with
out tact and feasibility.
Political parties rather are group
ed around differences of tempera-
ment as to the scope of government,
and the choice between economic
theories. Each party contains
plenty of good men and good busi-
ness men. However wrong headed
the leaders, each must satisfy this
conservative sentiment to retain
power. -

1t was interesting indeed to read
TIE various newspapers during the
past week and note their comment
upon the election returns. Most of
the democratic papers claimed Iowa
and the election of Murphy in start
ling headlines, while many of the
republican papers kept the size of
the type down as small as they dar-
ed. 1t will be as amusing to read
them again this week, and note the
change. After all, the republicans
of Iowa stood pat. They have elect
ed their governor and entire state
ticket, and all but one of the con-
gressmen. In face of the conditions,
this is doing remarkably well. Car
rolls majority for governor is very
close to his prediction estimate,
the legislature is safely republican,
and everything is now ripe for the
republicans to get together, bury
factionalism, and prepare for Il
grand republican victory two years
hence.

The burning at the stake OF an al
legged Mexican, named Rodriguez,
now said to be an American born
citizen, by mob at Rock Springs.
Texas, has precipitated almost a
crisis and diplomatic relations be-
tween the United States and Mexico
are severely strained. Anti-Ameri-
can demonstrations in Mexico have
been frequent, and deaths have oc-
Cured from attacks upon residences
of Americans, who have sought to
protect themselves and their prop

the matter will be speedily adjusted

YOUNG U. S. SENATOR
Governor Carroll Appoints Hon.
Lafe Young to Succeed
DOlliver.
ABLE AND DISTINGUISHED MAN.
Probably Better Acquainted With
Public Men and Political His
tory of Nation Than Any
Other IOwan.
The announcement on Saturday

The announcement on Saturday
noon of the appointment by %. er-
nor B. F. Carroll of Hon. Lafas
Young, editor of the Des Moine~,
Capital, and one of Iowa's most
brilliant and distinguished citizens
as United States Senator to succeed
Senator j. P. Dolliver, was received
with much delight by his thousands
of friends throughout the state and
nation. 1t was clearly the logical
thing to do, and the governor is be-
ing commended on all sides for his
action. Senator Young is one of the
ablest men of the nation. A thor
and wide experience, one of the
country's ablest orators, with
knowledge of political history sec
ond to none and wide personal ac-
quaintance with the political lead
ers of the nation, he will honor the
state in the POSITION.
He was the first native born
Iowan to serve in the state senate
and will be the first native born
Iowan to represent the stare in the
national senate. While the editor
of the Atlantic Telegraph he served
several terms in the state senate,
and in 1890 bought the Des Ioines
Capital, then a struggling newspaper
with little influence, now recognized
as one of the greatest daily news
papers in America. In 1893 he was
a candidate for governor, from 1894
to 1910 was state binder, and when
war was declared with Spain went
to Santiago as war correspondent.
He has long been one of Iowa's most
prominent citizens and had the hon
or of nominating Roosevelt for vice
president at Philadelphia. He was
one of the leaders of the Allison
forces in 1908 and delegate-at-large
to the national conv sntion from
Iowa. He accompanied Resident
Taft to the PHILIPPINES when he was
secretary of war, and continued on
around the world. He is Il brilliant,
eloquent, forceful speaker, a man
of national renown, ana will honor
the state in the senate.
Senator Young has announced
that he will not be a candidate for
United States Senator before the
primaries of 1912. He will be con-
tent with the honor until the legis-
lature names successor. There
has been much speculation as to
probable candidates, although only
two candidates have announced
themselves for the position, c. f.
FRANKIE, of Parkersburg, chairman
of the republican state central COM
mittee and Lieutenant Governor
Geo. w. Clarke. Gov. Carroll, John
T. Adams of Dubuque, who manag-
ed the last campaign of Senator AL
lison, U. S. Attorney w. S. Kenyon
of Fort Dodge, Atty. Gen. w. H.
Byers, and various others are men,
toned as possible candidates, and
there is every probability of a long
list of candidates.

According to the law as it is now,
all candidates on any ticket must

POUGHkEEPSlE, Feb. o.-Aliss Eliz-
abeth Kelly, a prominent society girl,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. William J..
Kelly, of IL Garfield place, has been
served with papers in a breach Of prom
Use suit for $4,000 damages instituted
by Leicester NJ Pond. a young architect
of Spokane, Wash.
The commencement of the action was
a great surprise to P~oughkeepsie soei-
ETY.. The breaking Of the engagement
had been known for six months, but no
supposed that Pond would sue for
breach of promise. The reason given
for breaking tine engagement, and gen
orally credited, was that Miss Kelly,
who has always been very much at
tached to her mother, was unwilling to
go SO far away as Spokane to live.
Ponds complaint alleges tina on or
about June ., 1908, he n Miss Kelly
agreed to be married on June %, 1903;
goes on to tell of the postponements
and final breaking off of the match, and
says he incurred large expense in the
way of gifts to the defendant and in
travelling between Spokane II Pough-
kespsie.

PANIC FOLLOWS CRASH OF
TROLLEY AND FIRE ENGINES
Driver Hurled from Seat, Comrade Injured by Violent Fall
Against Boiler and Horses Knocked Down-Women Passen-
gers Flee Screaming from Wrecked Car.

A Kinney street car, hall He'd with
passengers, swinging into South Tenth
street from Springfield avenue, today,
crashed into Engine No. Is. which was
responding to a lace curtain fire at
Wilmington avenue inc I%ngraham place.
The force of the collision threw Joseph
Smith, the engine driver, from the seat;
hurled Lieutenant James G. Spring
stead against the boiler, knocked down
two of the horses, broke TIE pole of the
engine and startled almost to a panic
the passengers in the car.
The alarm was from box 277 and the
route of the engine was down
Eighteenth avenue, thence through
South Tenth street. Nearing this cor
ner Smith slowed down his horses
somewhat. 1t is one of the most dan
gerous spots in the city and is the bane
of both engine drivers and motormen.
Springfield avenue. South Tenth street
and Eighteenth avenue come together
this point.
AS the three horses. hauling the
heavy engine, neared the corner Smith
checked them up a bit. Before either
