MAY RED|STRICT iowa
Next Legislature May Rearrange
Congressional Districts.
MAY REDUCE DISTRICTS TO TEN
Increase in Population of United
States Likely to Raise Pro Rata,
and il so Iowa Will Lose
One Congressman.

The state legislature may be con-
fronted at this session with
the task of redistricting the
state, if congress when it
convenes in December, increases
the apportionment on the basis
which members of congress shall
hereafter be elected. Best posted
public men believe that the official
census reports will be ready in time
for congress to take up the appor-
tionment at the next session.
The present basis, fixed in 1903,
is 10000. If the complete census
returns show the population of the
United States to be 90,OOO,0O0, as
it is conservatively estimated, the
cid basis would mean an addition
of thirty or forty members to con-
gress. The opinion prevails that
congress will not permit the men,
bership of the house to exceed 400,
and in order to keep it down to that
figure it will be necessary to fix an
apportiOnment of about 225,O0O.
Under the last census Iowa has a
population of 2,224,771. If con-
gress fixed the ratio at 225, 900, as
expected, Iowa would be entitled to
ten congressman. And this is the
humber which it is believed Iowa
will have after the next congress.
The Thirty-fourth general assem-
bly, will have to act, although no
serious effort toward redistricting
has been attempted by the legisla-
ture of Iowa in twenty-five years,
despite existence of serious dispro-
portion among the districts.
Politicians generally are speculat-
ing upon prospective rearrange-
ments and what effect a redistrict-
ing would have upon this district.
In all probability it would mean on
ly the addition of one county, such
as Hancock or Bremen.

NOTABLE MUSICAL COMEDY
The "Honeymoon Trail" a Play With
Thousand Laughs Coming to
the Grand December I.

The average person who goes to
the theater goes to laugh. He wishes
to be entertained. In that respect
the average theater goer resembles
"the tired business man." of whom
we hear so much. Honeymoon
Trail" the big La Sale Theater
(Chicago) musical comedy success,
which comes to the Grand opera
house Thursday, December 1st was
constructed "for laughing purposes
only" and we'll serves it's mission.
Its dialogue, music and comedy situ-
ations are all of the brightest kind.
There is not a sull moment from the
rise of the first to the fall of the
final curtain. And it is clean, clev-
er comedy. Slap-sticks, squirt
guns" and other venerable and-ques-
tionable methods of getting laughs"
are not resorted to. There are no
lines in the dialogue which are in
tended to provoke '"gallery laughs"
at the expense of disgusting the or
cnestra and balcony patrons. 1t is
real, unctuous, clever American hu-
mor-the kind that sends the audi
tor out of the theater refreshed and
pleased. Honeymoon Trail also
has a notable cast, an extraordinary
large and handsome chorus, and a
massive and beautiful scenic produc-
ton. 1t is one of the truly note
worthy attractions of the current
season. Seat sale now on at Brunt

THANKSGIVING.

In the old days the Puritans used
to repair to the House of God and
thank the Lord with somewhat the
melancholy faces which one wears at
a funeral.
Now our idea of thank fulness is to
tickle our own stOmachs, and stuff
ourselves so full of holiday dainties
that we must concentrate our atten-
tion on our digestion rather than our
God.
Both extremes are inexcusable.
The Puritans however had their
good excuse. They were under the
strain of pioneer life and the found
iLg of a great nation, and did not
feel in the mood for dancing.
Fortunately hearts grow little
wider as the years go by. Many of
Us have learned that there is more
real happiness in handing out a joy
Gus day to some straitened home.
than in straining the capacity of our
interior organs. And the holiday is
full of cheer since it brings together
so many families that drift apart in
our hurried life.

THANKSGIVING Day.

Helen Watts McVey in Common
er: The subject is so we'll under
stood that it seems superfiuous to
repeat the significance of the obser-
vation of a day of general thanks
giving for the largess the year has
brought to us; and because of this
month, the fruits of the forest, field
and garden are all harvested, the
day is one that may be observed BY
all without interfering with the care
of any crop. This is the festival
of the homecomers, the reunion of
friends and relatives, and we should
strive to make it indeed a day of
gladness and thanksgiving. In gath
ering about us ''our own" we
should not forget those who are
strangers, or far from their loved
ones, or alone in the world. Of
these, there are not few in every
city, town or village, and many a
heart aches with lonliness making
no visible sign. There are many
young people who are far from
home, and the holiday given them
on this day, would be far happier,
if they were allowed to work, for
they would thus be among their
kind, and the day would not seem
so dreary. Many men and women,
seemingly prosperous, with homes of
their own, would be glad to share
the plainest dinner with some
friend, for the sake of the day, but
they feel that more would be ex-
pected of them than they can give,
If they were the entertainers, or,
if entertained, that some return
would be expected, which they could
not make. Thus, people are kept
apart through misunderstanding
each other. What is it the Bible
tells us about the giving that en-
riches the giver?" Do we under
stand? Try to make some heart
thankful today. The world is too
chary of its tender thoughtfulness.
Let us be thankful that We may Of

SELLS CLOTHING STOCK.
W. r.. Duncanson Sells Sock OF
Clothing Brought Here Re-
Gently to Illinois Firm.

Mr.. w. z. Duncanson, after one
of the worst streaks of hard luck in
business deal man could have,
last week disposed of the stock IF
clothing with which he expected 10
open a store in Decorah to Hepfer
& Lindsay of Lanark, ILL.,, who will
ship the goods to that city.
Mr.. Duncanson came to Decorah,
leased the Barthell building for two
years, engaged a manager, and had
packed and shipped stock of goods
which he purchased in South Dakota.
He also went to the city and bought
an additional stock, and then came
back to Decorah and advertised Lis
opening. But his goods did not
come, and the opening had to be
postponed. Week after week pass
ed and still he could get no track
of the goods. Railroad officials,
manufacturing associations and
others took up the trail, but the
goods did not come until last week.
The best time of the year had past
for opening. and when Mr.. Duncan
son had good opportunity to dis
pose of the stock he did so, stand
ing a personal loss of large proper
tions. He is a splendid appearing

One interesting thing disclosed by
the testimony is that for ten months
the Minnesota Commissioner has mad
a force of men at work in one Of

yet finished an examination OF two

and the necessity of determining
them upon carefully prepared and
analyzed testimony.
The senatorial contest from the
progressive republican standpoint
has been simmered down somewhat
and friends of some avowed candi-
dates are chatting under the attitude
of Senator A. B. Cummins, who held
a conference with factional leaders
here Friday. News of the transac-
tions at the conference have just
leaked out. Senator Cummins let it
be distinctly known that so far as
he is concerned there are but four
. ,cognized possibilities. They are
w. Byers, ]. A. Smith of Usage,
) " Ingham of Des Moines and
A.. Wink of Clear Lake. These
were 4e only names mentioned by
the senator in discussing possibili-
ties. He made no reference, it is
said, to Ex-Governor Warren Garst
of Coon Rapids, Hon. Guy Feely OF
Waterloo, Hon. Carl FRANKIE of Park
'ersburg Estate central committee
chairman) or Hon. Geo. w. Clarke
of Adel.
1t is understood that Hon. Warren
Garst is in favor of a special pri-
mary and is willing on his part to
submit the choice of senator to the
people. 1t is a noticeable fact that
in his paper Harvey Ingham in men
tioning candidates has made no men,
ton of Garst. Another fact is that
he has given considerable space to
the prospective candidacy of Hon. w.
S. Kenyon of Fort Dodge, who
politicians say has no opportunity to
win. 1t is pointed out that this is
shrewd politics on the part of Mr..
Ingham, who desires to intimately
concentrate the support of the Tenth
district, his old home, on himself.
There is quite strong feeling
that harmony can we'll be preserved
in Iowa by endorsing the appoint
ment of Hon. Lafayette Young by
Governor Carroll. This appoint
ment gives each republican faction
in Iowa representation in the United
States Senate. 1t is predicted by
many that an effort to supplant Mr..
Young by a progressive will result in
more severely dividing the republi-
can party in the state.

POOR "LAFE" YOUNG.

Chicago Inter Ocean,. So Lafay.
cite Young, owner and editor of The
Des Moines Capital, and a regular
republican, has been appointed to
the senate to fill the vacancy caused
by Senator Delivers death!
Well, from Mr.. Young's reputa-
tion, as well as from the brief bio
graphical sketch that accompanies
the notice of his appointment, il
would seem that the new senator
has heretofore led a sober and repu-
table life in the community that he
calls home.
There is no suggestion in any
quarter, so far as we have heard
that he ever robbed neighbor's
hencoop, or defrauded uncounted
thousands of widows and orphans,
or committed divers other high
crimes and misdemeanors in the
course of his busy career.
In brief, one might be tempted to
say that, on the face of things, Mr.
Young is a pretty good sort of man
the sort of man who has managed
to do pretty well for himself in. a
business way while attempting at
the same time to discharge his du-
ties and obligations in regard to pub
lie affairs.
But the fact that Mr.. Young has
just become United States senator
and regular" senator at that,
naturally prevents any reasonable
man from yielding to that tempta-
ton. That fact naturally stamps
him as the subject of future pain
full revelations.
We suspect that it will not be long
before some 10 cent magazine dis
covers and announces that the new
regular" senator from Iowa is in
league with j. P. Morgan and that
his newspaper, The Des Moines Cap
ital is practically owned by the Steel
Trust.
And there is good ground to pre-
dict, that in the dearth of their thrill
ing revelations, some uplift weekly
will at no distant date print an ar
ticle showing that way back in the
carly '90s ''Lafe" Young took trip
to Alaska and staked out a claim ad-
Joining what is now known as the
Cunningham" tract.
And some enterprising newspaper
of the orm-for-circulation only
type is more than likely to publish a
scathing series of dispatches show
ing that the new Iowa senator was
seen at the Waldorf on two separate
occasions when John ID. Archbold
was also stopping there, and there
fore must be regarded as a tool of
the Interests" and an agent of
special privilege"
And, If there is anything in what
we see and hear about us, he is
soon to learn that he is suspected
of too close intimacy with, say, the
match trust, the cuff and collar trust
and the tobacco trust, to say moth
ing of being implicated in a scheme
to seize and appropriate all the wa
ter power sites between the Missis-
sippi river and the Pacific ocean to
"malefactors of great wealth.
Poor Mr.. Young. Let him enjoy
his innocent self-respect as long as
he can! For soon, too soon, will he
find that being regular republican
senator causes him, in the eyes of
the really good, to be regarded as
guilty of all the crimes already in
the catalOg and of all those which
may hereafter be discovered and
placed there by Cummins, La Fol-
lette, Roosevelt and associates.

not be sufficient. He also recon-
