WHAT MAKES III

In these days of oats weighing
eighty-fve bushels to the acre and
wheat going forty bushels and bringing
81. per bushel at the machine few
breezy remarks by Mr.. S. Norvell. OF
the NorveN- Shapleigh Hardware Com
pany of st, Louis, will be entertaining.
In the Iron Age, Of Aug. s, he writts:
To a shopkeeper who studies crop
conditions year after year it seems
most of these pessiuistic reports must
De discounted. Year after year the late
frost kills all the fruit Nevertheless,
after all the fruit is killed, we have
plenty of fruit at very low prices. All
the fruit was killed this season, as
usual. Then the cotton crop is almost
a failure, but late in the year, when
the figures are rounded up, we have a
pretty good cotton crop after all. We
are inclined % believe that all farmers,
when it comes to crop prospects, are
bears. They are certainly pessimistic
while the crop is growing. We have
all heard the story Of the old farmer
who was always complaining. One year
when his crops could not have been
better some one asked him what he
thought about the situation. He shook
mis- head sadly and answered, Such
crops like these are a turrible drain on
the land Now bankers are talking
about the automobile craze. They say
their customers are taking deposits out
of the banks and buying autono biles-
that they are nortgaging their homes
TO buy automobiles! Well, I guess a
good many people have decided it is a
good idea TO take little joy in life
right now as they go along, instead OF
always saving UP for that rainy day
Why should mans entire life be
clouded, even when the sun is shining
by the fear of the rainy day that will
come som etfme? Then, perhaps, the
man who buys an autom obile has not
forgotten the time when he had money
in bank he could not get it, but was
given John Smith checks instead.
Taking it ali III oil, 7 al: inclined to
think an automobile is better thing in
which to invest money than some OF the
other things that have used up our
money in times past. There Is nothing
better than to take the entire family
outdoors. OF course, if we happen tc
owe the bank we can hike out for the
country on some street where we are
not liable to salute our banker in pass
! ing. But the chances are the banker
will be out in his machine. too.
1--WE also read of the land-buyins
craze. The farmers are buying chear
western lands/ They are using theil
money for this purpose. They are TAX
Ing the money out of the banks. They
are reducing the deposits. How hor-
rible. What right has a farmer tt
buy cheap western lands and take hi:

A FAILURE IN wHiTEWAsH.

Secretary Wilson in his Seattle
speech lauded Secretary BalMnger to
the skies as an efficient officer and a
man of high integrity. At the same
time he deprecated Pinchot and the
men who are insisting on actual con-
servation OF the public domain.
It is evidence of Secretary Wilson's
loyalty 10 his fellow member in the
cabinet if it is nothing else. But
there will exist and. remain in the
public mind very defined conclusion
as to Ballinger which Secretary Will
sons laudation will scarcely affect ser
iously. Humpty Dumpty has had his
fall All the kings horses and all the
Dumpty OF the interior department up
again.
SO much has been TO the minds of
most persons fairly established, the
alleged connection between the Gug-
genheiner interests, and Mr.. Ballinger
has been traced so far; so many cir
cumstances speak in accusation that
Ballinger is pretty thoroughly dis
credited before the American people.
Golfers Weekly has printed open
charges against the secretar's integ-
rity, offering IN support of its charges
that he was an unfaithful attorney and
disreputable business man, state
ments. photographs and interviews and
defying him to enter the courts in his
own defense. None of these have been
met except by general denial. In
deed general denial, counter charges
and recrimina ton have been the Bal
linger defense. 1t is not astonishing.
but merely natural that the public looks
upon Ballinger as man discredHed
and one who should be thrust from
official position.

majority rule and for freedom Of po-
litical opinion within party organiza-
tons.
And. we repeat, what Kansas and
Iowa want, the whole middle west
wants. The far west has Its own idea
Of conservation. but 1t is undoubtedly
progressive on all general questions,
as are legions Of republicans and
democrats in the east and south. Here
and there powerful regular machines
modify and restrain insurGent tenden-
cies; here and there particularly clever
and resourceful leaders carry their
followers a few steps further than they
would spontaneously go. But on the
whole, the progressive insurgent move
ment Is neither "populistio,' as some
standpatters affect to believe. nor Wild,
inconsequential and transitory. 1t is
the product OF deep causes and 1t aims
at profound and momentous reforms.
Whittier would 1t take us? What
will 1t do with, or to, the existing
parties! The answers readily suggest
themselves 10 the leVel- nedQeQ, CdNuiu
observer. No Generalization or chaos
lis likely to result: the existing parties
will not be destroyed; no new party
Of boilers and indictments will be
necessary. The existing parties will
be revivified chastened, strengthened.
The moral unrest of the country en-
danugers nothing save cheap oppor-
tunism and bourbonism. 1t will make
for more direct and honest issues, for
more serious treatment OF platform
pledges, for purer and truer repre-
sentative government.
Specifically, it will give us. within a
few years, a nonpolitical and expert
tariff commission, revision Of separate
schedules without log rolling and BUSH
ness disturbance, popular election OF
senators, efficient and systematic stat
utes for the prevention. of economic
abuses and the protection of consumers
and legitimate business against greed,
frenzied finance, and monopoly.
And these, even to the conservatives
who are just now bewildered or alarm
ed, should on reflection appear as con-
summations devoutly to be wished in
this republic, dedicated as it is to de.
mocracy. equal opportunity and civil
liberty.

Washington. Aug. 11.-lf the demo-
cratic expectations Of carrying the
house in November are realized, the
house republicans will have a nice
problem before them in the election of

1t has been so long since the republi-

Mr. Norvelrs sarcasm may have
overdrawn his side of the argument
somewhat but there is a large amount
of wisdom in his comment. 1t is true
that the country banks are refusing to
deposit their reserves in the big cent
ers as they once did and for nearly a
year they have been fortifying them
selves to meet the demands Of fall bus
mess upon their own resources. Wall
street spectators have been wont to
use the surplus bank deposits of the
country for their gambling game and
1t is discouraging to them to have
their supplies cut Off.
1t is also true that the. automobile is
wholesome outdoor sport in which
the whole family can take enjoyment
and much OF the money spent for the
machines Is saved in some other di-
rection. Either jewelry, pianos, vaca-
tion trips or some other form of ex-
penditure is foregone. However, the
land craze is more serious than Mr..
Norvell would believe. 1t is all right
for men TO buy the land because it is
a safe buy in nearly every case, but the
pyramiding of deferred payments by
piling the contracts of one years sales
upon those of the next year and the
next and the next is too much for the
banks to liquidate all at one time. If
men will buy land on Ave year pay

banks are unable to carry the whole

roads when bumper crops congest the

Especial Correspondence1.
Washington. Aug. 11-Recent reports
from Michigan are that Senator Julius
Caesar Burrows, who Is having the
fight Of his life against Representative
Townsend, has been making gains in
the last few weeks The Burrows sup
porters, who for q time had decidedly
uphill struggle, now think they are
gaining ground and hope to win.
Senator Burrows. in spite Of his adj
vanced age, is entering actively into
the campaign and working hard for re-
election. He is making speeches and
helping along the work Of organiza ton.
He has able lieutenants, among them
Henry Rose, the assistant secretary Of
the senate. Rose Is a capable polite
ian and he Is one Of the main reliances
of Senator Burrows in his fight.
Representative Townsend is making
an active speaking campaign also and
has the Burrows forces thoroughly
scared. The difficulty in the way of
Townsend is that he is not in strong
favor with either the regulars or the
progressives. He went along with the
insurgents In the house for a short
tire about the beginning of the move
ment to compel changes in the house
rules at the opening Of the present
congress Then he lined up on the
regular side. For this, the house in
surgents have never forgiven Town
send, and for his disposition to defec-
ton from them, the regulars have not
forgiven him. The result Ia that he Is
not as strong with either faction as he
would be had he lined up consistently
with one side or the other. One Of
the. things in Townsend's favor IL the
prominent part he had in the railroad
bill which was passed at the last ses-
sion OF congress.

ABOUT SETTLING PRIVATELY
WITH THIEVES.
lcedar Rapids Republican,.

tCedar Rapids Republican,.
Last week there was another young
man in this city who took something
from his employers and was pardon
ed' on condition that he return to
them what he had lakeland keep still
about it. That Is almost weekly .oc-
currence in this city. and other cities,
also, no doubt. This is fast age, and
young men seem to be ambitious TO get
along. even If they have to take what
does not belong to them.
And they take no great chances-in
Cedar Rapids. They know that for
many years the worst punishment that
has been melted out to such offenders
is the restoration of the stolen prop
erty. 1t Is simply gamble. II they
are caught they lose what they have
taken and IL they are not caught they
are that much ahead In other words.
they have nothing to lose except what
does not belong to them in any event.
Why shall they not try to get away
with the goods, under such circum-
stances?
The list of such entertainments and
defalcations and betrayals OF trust In
Cedar Rapids is as long rs the moral
law. En- ployers who are in others ways
exact and law abiding have repeatedly
set the example Of private settlement
with false employees. They have been
glad to get back the stolen property
and to get rid of the undesirable EN- :
ployes. Recently a railroad company
settled with man who had taken
money that did not belong to him and
let him 20. We believe that he was
even permitted to keep the money be-
cause he had some secrets OF the way
in which the corporation had been vlo-
lating the laws of the country.
But all such cases are the compound
ing Of felonies. When man has been
discovered to be a thief, no one has a
right to settle with him privately. He
has committed an act that the pubic
also is concerned in.
The public does not want sucfi
crimes to go unpublished for 1t Is con-
trary to good public morals to let them
70 without punishment. The Pubic
does not want such thieves at large to
prey on others. The state has provided
a place in which to punish embezzlers
and the employers Of such men ought
to begin to realize that 1t will be dis
astrous to business honor to shield the
unfaithful. For one thing tho faithful
will have no incentive to remain faith
full and the unfaithful win have moth
ing to lose by turning embezzlers and
they may have much to gain.

Too Much Medicine.

Do not be constantly drugging your
livestock with the Idea that something
is wrong with their health. When con-
WINGED that the animal is out Of condi-
ton and that medicines are needed
have veterinarian prescribe the med
icine and give It under his direction.
Much harm can be done by the con-
slant use Of condition powders. as they
usually contain drugs having diuretic
properties. AS a consequence the kid
neys become accustomed to stimula;-
ton, and when the medicine is stopped
the kidneys. not having the accustom-
ed stimulant. become sluggish and in
active, and consequent Ill condition of
the animal follows.
