had a chance to vote-for the first
time--and muffed 1t.
Being of few years Bush has just
accomplished majority which gives
him an opportunity OF casting a bal.
lot. Having a bad ankle he couldn't

after election day. Likewise he neg
lected to register and when candL
dates red automobile came up TO his
hotel, Tuesday, Bush had to decline
the kind invitation OF riding hence "a

proverbial election cigar.
The rabbit lost ont two ways-his
bad leg kept him from indianapolis
and he didn't register here. He nigh
have voted In Detroit because he had
been in the state regularly more thar
six months.
However. he was going home today
so that in great measure overweighet
the loss of franchise. The bad ankle

State Senator John n. Anhut is de-
teated for reelection in the Fourth
district. comprising the Eighth, Tenth
Twelfth and Fourteenth wards. by
James III. Lee, the young Democratic
candidate In 20 precincts out OF
total or 3S, Lee received 3,242
votes and Anhut, 2.G70. making Lees
present majority 572, which will prob
ably be increased by the final count.
James A. Murtha. Democrat, was elect.
ed by large majority over the Re.
publican candidate, Mollison, in the
second district Eighteen precincts
give Murtha 2.9S4 and Mollison. 1.137.
Lee took the lead early and kept
adding TO his majority as the returns
continued to pour in. His victory is
all the more remarkable from the fact
that the four wards comprising the
district are all normally Republican
and three of them strongly so. Anhut
was deeply cut all along the line. In
precincts where he had figured on
making It great showing he was soreiy
disappointed.

campaign, standing squarely on his
merits. He is receiving the hearty
congratulations Of his friends in both
parties. as is Murtha in the second

SOME INDUSTRIAL FACTS.

Some interesting facts relative to
the specialization of certain cities
along Industrial lines are given in a
newspaper article by William e. Cur
tbs. The following cities and their
products are mentioned:
Memphis has become the greatest
center Of the cotton seed oil industry.
In 1909 the total value surpassed
eighty millions.
Dallas has become the greatest
market for the distribution of farm
machinery in the world.
Galveston is the greatest cotton
market In the world
ST. Louis handles more shoes than
any other city in the world.
Buffalo handles the most grain, and
Portland, Oregon, the largest amount
of lumber.
More steel rails are made in Pitts
burg than In any other city in the
world. The daily product would lay
twelve or fifteen miles of track.
Fall River produces the greatest
amount of cotton CLOTH
Detroit makes the largest number
Of automobiles of any city in the
world, having twenty factories which
turned out about s12,O00,000 worth Of
machines last year Detroit is also
the home of the adding machine"
and the largest producer of medi-
cines and pharmaceutical prepare
lions in the world. Philadelphia is
second.
Dayton leads in the manufacture Of
cash registers.
South Bend produces the largest
number of wagons, Moline the largest
number Of plows, Quincy, ILL.,, the larg-
est number of omnibuses; Paterson,
N. j., the largest amount of silk fab
RIGS, and Trenton the largest amount
of pottery.
Peoria makes more spirits than
any other city in the world, and pays
between s3O,OOO,00O and $40,0O0,OOO in
taxes to the federal government every
year-more than twice as much as
any other city in the country except
New York. Louisville sells more
whisky and more tobacco than any
other city. Minneapolis makes more
flour than any city in the world, an
average Of $4,000 barrels day. 1t re-
quires 100000 acres of land to grow
enough wheat to keep the twenty-five
Minneapolis mills running for year
There are forty-three furniture fac
tories in Grand Rapids, which employ
$4,000 skilled workmen, and produce
more furniture than any other city in
the world.
It will be interesting to watch
events in the next ten years and note
what changes are made in this list.
The improvements Of the waterways
will make the Mississippi, the Mis-
souri, and the Des Moines river valleys
greater manufacturing centers. Many
of these manufacturing centers may
find themselves behind the cities of
these valleys in industrial wealth in
that time.

IoWA's LIVE STOCK.

Iowa is shown to be the chief live
stock state of the union in an article
written for the Chicago Tribune by
Philip r. Kellar. Iowa is the first in
swine, and second in horses, cattle
and mich COWS. The total value of
the states live stock is shown to be

a total value of s375,421 900. and
Texas third, with a total of s33s,7S0,-
900. The value of the live stock Of
these three states is shown by
figures compiled by the department of
agriculture to be one-fifth Of the total
value of live stock in the entire
country. Iowa has more swine than
all of Canada, Great Britain. Ireland
and Cuba combined. Texas has al
most as many cattle as Canada, Hi

THE UTILITY OF WEALTH.

Ebert Hubbard takes up the cud-
gels tn defense Of the millionaire. He
believes that the millionaire is the
hardest Of hard workers and devotes
the following paragraph in an article
from his pen to set forth his position:
Money Ia the measure of power, but
money for its own sake is not worth
the struggle. Modern millionaires do
not hoard-they invest. And they in
west that they may use. The success
ful man now always has the builders
itch-he is always and forever widen
Ing. extending building, improving,
and 1t is all In the line Of human
service, human betterment. To exploit
society is to fail, and wise, successful
men know It.
Nothing Is more silly and absurd
than the idea that the men who have
built up the great modern American
fortunes are intent on ease and luxury.
AS a class they are men of abstemious
habits. simple, rapid and direct in their
dealings. They work sixteen hours a
day. They are in the game and can't
get out Of 1t If they would. Their mil
Hons are invested in way that
makes use an imperative necessity.
To liquidate would be red ruin. They
say am rich,' once said James j. Hill
to me, and the yellows roll off the
number of my millions. The fact is,
! owe more money than all the men
In Minnesota. To make my invest
ments profitable and to keep them
from fading away, / am obliged
externally to struggle keeping them
active"
Mr.. Hubbard cites Mr.. Hills case as
typical Other millionaires are as con-
sistent in building and expanding their
business interests, constantly employ
ing more labor and thereby distribut-
ing more generally the fruits of pros
perity "It is this eternal unrest OF
business he adds, that insures ma
tional prosperity"
Many millionaires are only rich
when their property is working. If
