Senator Kenyon evidently believes
there is still something coming to the
railroads. and he must know that II
Senator La Toilette could have his
way there would be good deal COM
ing to them.
The point In this writing is to pre-
sent the probability that the railroad
attorneys were introduced In the de-
scriptive writing at Des Moines in the
hope Of prejudicing Judge Kenyon
standing before the legislature. IL IS
common thing Of late to drag IN
bogies to emphasize political conteh
tions, and the fair presumption is that
in the interest Of candidates opposed
to the candidacy Of Judge Kenyon TINS
was done at Des Moines. Events al
Washington serve to justify conclusions
of that character.

BUSINESS AT LEADING POINTS.
Somewhat Better Feeling in Trade
Mail Order Houses Complain.

New York May S.-The increaSin ely
bright outlook for the wheat crop Is
responsible for somewhat better feel
ing in business as to the future. But
the actual volume OF trade. while nee
essarily large because the daily neces-
stiles Of a vast population are large,
is nevertheless slow, hating and with
out enthusiasm. Taken in the aggre-
gate and especially in such basic trades
as iron and steel and dry goods. con-
sumption is much below producing ca
pacity, and even concessions IN prices
fail to produce activity. fundamental
conditions. such as the large supplies
Of money and the generally low stocks
of mercha ndise. are favorable; but en-
terprise continues to walt for the re-
movai OF uncertainties and for that
courageous leadership which is born Of
large faith in the future. The export
trade is much more vigorous than the
domestic. because manufacturers no
longer finding the home market for
their goods sufficient are diligently
seeking outlets abroad. and this Is a
process which Is sure to be eventually
beneficial to business as q whole. Pig
iron and finished steel production is
much below mill capacity and seems to
be receding. Curtailment Is still the
order in cotton goods, while woolens
are necessarily affected by tariff agi-
tation. The shoe trade is fair. but not
up to high water mark! 1t is notice
able that for the present at least the
trade recession seems to be felt more
keenly in the west than in the east,
and even the fine crop prospects do
not altogether Offset the effect of lower
farm values. The mail order houses
complain Of reduced orders. The re-
tail trade does not quite hold the i'm
provement resulting from better
weather.
Philad Accomplishments weather has
resulted in a somewhat improved de-
mand for furnishings and dry goods at
retail. and wholesalers note a slight
increase In sales. altho the trade con-
tinues to buy cautiously. Sales OF mil
linery at wholesale are below those OF
last year at this period and business is
generally quiet. Jobbers Of woolens
report little change and manufa cturers
OF shirt waists and cloaks and suits
note very quiet conditions. Leather
displays little activity, sales being
small and apparently only for in;aed!-
ate requirements, altho the market re-
mains firm. Prices Of glazed kid are
unchanged. but sales are only moderate
and ma inly for export. Shoe dealers
report that while general trade is quiet,
some slight Improvement Is noted. The
wool market continues dull and in buy
ers favor, altho quotations are fairly
.ye!! ~ eintained Manufacturers show
no disposition to buy in excess OF ac-
tuai needs and as the demand for the
finished goods is unsatisfactory bust
ness is Of very moderate dimensions.

Thus domestic economy is taught not

These classes teach buying as well

how to make the income go farrhest in
the purchase of supplies as we'll as in
the preparation OF foodstutes. for the

example, the mere act of cooking gives
value frequently TO certain kinds of
eatables. Thus, We are assured, 1t Is
held by the Kansas authorities that
while cut OF sirIoin costing % cents

of beef shoulder costing u cents when
both are cooked in the usual manner

equally as tender and palatable as the

THE SYMPATHIZER.

There are always fool lot OF peo-
pie whose principal occupation is
sympathizing. Synpathizing. in nine
cases out Of ten, is not only a maudlin
waste of tears and energy, but 1t Is
an injurious treatment both for the
syInpathiZed and the sympatnizer.
Very few people who have a healthy
mind want sympathy, they only en-.
dure it. Most people who get sym

the only folks who get any enjoyment
out Of a mess of condolences are the

THE HOUSE WHERE I WAS BORN.

fIona Falls Citizen
When the babe today is called upon
upon in the public schools to write
a composition on The House Where
l Was Born" the picture will differ
considerably from what a man now In
middle life would draw.
It is within the memory OF most
men 40 to so years old. when Iowa
contained plenty of houses with one
room-kitchen. dining room. parlor,
living room. bed room. bath room, were
all united In one The bed stood In one
corner. an old fashioned cook stove
in another. the table In another, and
the surplus population slept in the
garnet, where the snow drifted in dur
ing the winter and the rain leaked in
during the summer. Salt pork, pota-
toes, and bread made up the standard
diet Patent eakfast foods were I'M
known. The barn was covered with
hay and the horse ate holes thru the
straw sides The cistern was a rain
barrel and the entrance to the cellar
was hole in the floor. new calico
dress was a luxury. and the buffet.
sideboard. china closet. etc, were not
known, and not needed. The children
herded the cattle in the summer and
the wolves howled In the winter.
But the world changes and IT is we'll
that II does. However. many young
people might learn with profit pa
thence. Electric lights. city water. bath
rooms. carriages. pianos, automobiles.
etc. are all very nice and possible,
but 1t IS we'll to wait until we earn
them. Ii was possible &c be happy IL

KENYON AND THE RAILROADS.
[Sioux City Journal


Before Senator Kenyon was assist
ant attorney attached to the office of
the attorney general OF the United
States he was railroad attorney in
the employ OF the Illinois Central COM
pany. During the senatorial campaign
before the legislature his railroad re-
lationshfp was made to stare him in
the face. In the heat Of the Des
Moines contest it was pointed out that
the Fort Dodge man had the persistent
support OF the railroad attorneys of
the state. But what did Kenyon do
as q first thing after he had taken the
oath as a senator? Why. he sought
to make Senator Robert La Toilette
member Of the committee on inter-
state commerce. He did not do this
on the theory that La Toilette Is one
OF President Tafts best friends. He
did not do 1t because the railroad at
torneys had picked La Toilette as the
man TO hold the balance Of power on
the great committee III which The car
rier companies are deeply interested.
His own explanation is that he sup
ported La Toilette because he thought
the Wisconsin man was. well equipped
for service on that s=onITnittee.T ae
corporations do not believe: Senator
Kenyon reached his conclusion az q
corporation man, and 1t is not to be
supposed that intelligent railroad at
