The Situation at Muscatine
Resolutions Adopted at Mass Meeting of Local Business
Men Declare Unionsm Has Been Used to the Detri-
ment Of Social Order and Prosperity.

A year ago there was work at re-
munerative wages in Muscatine for
every laborer who desired it. The re-
lations between employer and en-
ploye were harmonious. Confidence
prevailed. Prosperity abounded, pros
perity which was especially reflected
In the homes and living conditions OF
the laboring people. There was no
poverty in Muscatine, no vacant
homes and no languishing industries.
A united citizenship believing in each
other and with faith in themselves
and the Pearl City, faced the future
with entire confidence.
1t Is useless to dwell on the mo-
tlyes or the methods of those who
from outside of the city introduced
discord into one Of the great indus
tries OF this town. The history is fresh
in the minds of all. No citizen will
forget the passion, the lawlessness
and the violence which not only de-
stroyed the peace and prosperity of
Muscatine but has given her reputa-
ton throughout the state and nation
which will retard her industries for
years to come.
1t Is enough to know for the pres
ent that business is at a standstill,
factories are closed or running under
armed protection. The laboring com.
munity is divided into hostile camps.
Employe Is at war with employer. Hun
dreds Of men and women have ramov-
ed to other towns. where they are
free to work If they will. The value of
property is declining. There are
scores OF vacant houses in the town.
Distrust is everywhere and over all
the ever present threat Of violence.
The body Of men representing the
business as we'll as the social inter
ests of Muscatine believing that a
great crisis now confronts the city,
resolves:
First: That 1t is the right of every
laborer to accept employment, If he
will, and fundamental duty of the
state to protect him in such action.
We respect the aims of organized la.
Dor and appreciate the great work it

HuRRAH FOR THE CRICKET.

The cricket's once doleful fiddling
now Is music to the ear OF the farmer
Of the northwest M. P. Somer, grass
hopper expert for the Minnesota de-
partment of entomology, after a sum-
mer long investigation in the grasshop-
per infested districts Of Minnesota
and the Red River Valley, declares
that crickets have an Unsuitable ap-
petite for grasshopper eggs and are
eating them by millions.
The grasshoppers for several weeks
now have been depositing eggs in the
ground. The cricket, according to Mr..
Somer, has a peculiar aptitude for find
ing the nests, and ravenous nav at
ter he once gets his mandible into the
egg-pod.
The determination of the grasshop-
per. which destroys thousands Of acres
Of grain in the northwest, seems to
rest with the question of providing
more crickets. The discovery is look
ed upon as an important one by ento-
mologists and by crop experts.

THE GOVERNORS srAEE


Stanley Miller of the Mt. Pleasant
Free Press went to Ottumwa to see
President Taft, but what impressed
hins most was the governors star,
which he pronounces "a dazzling sight
for sore eyes" They wore so m"cn
gold lace that they created more COM
ment than the President. That is,
the common "pee-pul' discussed them
more than they did President Taft.
Mr.. Miller says further of the star
in his paper:
Some thought they were brass
band, but as they couldn't see any
horns they guessed that they might
be something else. The governors
staff always carry horns, all right, but
they carry them concealed. They al
ways take them at the hotel before
they go out on parade. They are done
UP in the quart size, usually.
Talking of the guesses made by
the people as to what the goldbraided
gentlemen had to do with the show.
one woman said, They are the secret
service men, they are the body guard
of the President Heavens! Think OF
them as secret service men. Why that
gold braid sparkled SO that you could
see it mile. There Is nothing secret
about the governors staff. No, street."

Chance of Sentiment.

Clinton Herald: That there has
heen a wonderful change of sentiment
in Iowa during the past few weeks
among that element Of the Republican
party which for the past ten years
has been known as progressive Is
manifest on every side. But in no re-
spect is this more apparent than
among a number OF the progressive
Republican papers which now refer 10
the efforts of La Toilette, Cummins,
Bristow, ct al as insurgents. Papers
that a year ago were lauding these
men to the skies, now speak OF them
as something to be feared and avoid
ed.
There is a reason for this change OF
sentiment and 1t but serves to demon.
strate the fact that the American peo'
ple possess too much good, common
sense to be long led astray, for 1t is
quite certain that in this instance the
progressive papers are but rejecting
the sentiments of large majority Oh
those Republicans who have been
pleased to call themselves progress
sives.
The progressives continue to stand
for certain changes. But they have
discovered that whatever is accom-
plished must come through the instru'
mentality of the Republican party.
They have discovered that the men
whom they have been following can
not be trusted. They are no more
anxious for legislation that is certain
to be disastrous to all the business
interests Of the country than the men
who have stood staunch and firm
through the entire period of agitation.
They have seen new light and theI
have not been slow to act.
The La Toilette following today WI
entirely dissemble in time.

"coLoREDp ORANGES.

The board Of food and drug inspec-
ton of the department of agriculture
has just announced a decision Of a
good deal Of interest to consumers of
oranges. Green, immature citrus
fruits, it appears, are artificially col
ored sometimes by holding them in
warm, moist atmosphere for a short
time after picking. They do not
change in sugar or acid content, after
leaving the tree; but If they had been
left to color on the tree they would
have increased markedly in sugar and
decreased in acid. The board deems
that oranges SO treated are "colored
in a manner whereby inferiority Is
concealed and are, therefore, adulter-
ated." This decision Is reached I'M
der the provision of the food and drug
act declaring that an article Is adul-
terated if it be mixed, colored, pow
dered. coated or stained in manner
whereby damage or inferiority is con-
cealed.

THE SHACK.

TIE SI1fASNs
You kin talk of life In a palace,
And of wearin' jeweled crown,
And of life in marble cottage
Where the nabobs flock from town.
But give me home on the prairie,
Where the sod's ne'er been turned
back;
There's nothin' that makes for con-
tentment
Like life in a homestead shack
You can talk of the joys of Twin
Where the slaves of the city toll;
There's nothin' to wrench the heart
strings
Out here on the virgin soil;
Just give me door facin' westward,
And coffee-and-bacon snack,
And dreamy old pipe in the evenin'
I'm strong for the homestead shack.
The sun peeps in at the dawnin,
And it reddens things up at night;
There's nothin' to break the silence
And set mans thoughts to flight:
There's pride in his hard achieve
ment-
OF settin' the wilderness back
And there comes the glory of conquest
To him in the homestead shack.

At the provisional state convention
OF Democrats in Springfield on We'd
nesday Hon. H. n. Wheeler, the ven
cradle editor of the Quincy Journal,
lifelong Democrat and member Of
the state committee of his party, was
not only denied the right of speech
but was made the object of physical
violence when he insisted upon asking
a pertinent question. But for the in
tervention and protection of Thomas
Rees of the Springfield Register he
would have been mobbed. Such treat
ment of a man who has given the best
years of his life to the advocacy and
maintenance of Democratic principles
IS shameful in the extreme. Editor
Wheeler is entirely too good for the
political company in which he found
himself in Springfield The newspapers
of the country without regard to party
should protest vigorously against the
treatment accorded him by the Har-
rison-Hearst crowd.

PERKINS EoR GOVERNOR.

Hon. George D. Perkins of Sioux
City is proposed by the Cedar Rapids
Republican for the nomination for
governor. Northwestern Iowa, the Re-
publican suggests. should push him to
the front and get back of him united
ly. The underlying reasons for this
are thus cogently stated:
HE has done more for that one
quarter of the state than any other
one man. He has given that part of
the state part of it's development. He
was there in grasshopper times and he
is still there in the times of prosper
ity. AS a Republican he has always
born a part of the burden and the
brunt of battle He is veteran OF
the war of the rebellion and served
with honor and distinction, although
he was very young in years, so that
now he is only safely past sixty and
good for twenty years more active
service in the editorial chair. He is
not only one of the ablest editors OF
the state, but he is one of the state
best speakers. He can string words
together with the best Of the polite
ians and with this difference, his
words will be pregnant with mean
ings. He is no theorist, but an adj
ministrator. AS governor he would
recall such men as Gear and LARA
bee, for he is that type OF man. Ihere
would be nothing amfss In the state
administration SO long as he sat In
the governors chair.
"If Iowa wants to place to the front
its most distinguished citizen In pri-
vate life, the man who has ability
second to none other in the state. as
editor, publicist and citizen, it will Sc
lect George D. Perkins. In him 1t
would have a governor who is large
enough to be seen al over the state
and able enough to make Iowa a
marked state among the states or the
northwest 1t would, however, be up
to northwestern Iowa. 1t would be up
to the Republicans Of that part of the
state to bring him forward
1--WE are told that the governorship
is spoken for that 1t has been ap-
portioned, allotted and conferred by
the distinguished coteries which have
been trying to rule Iowa. But that Is
lust what ought to be thwarted. The
people themselves and not the coter-
les ought to select the governors and
the minor state officials.

yerv tired of having few men pick
out the candidates for the various Of
fees and then go about, like Satan
of old, shunting every one else off the

OPPOSITION OF THE MAGAZINES.

OPPOSITION OF THE MAGAZINES.
A majority of the widely-circulated
magazines are opposed to the renomi-
nation and reelection of President
Taft. There's reason as the
advertisements say, and It is not far
to seek. The investigation made by
Postmaster General Hitchcock OF the
affairs of the postoffice department
disclosed the fact that the magazines
were unduly favored in the service;
that they had become an item of
heavy expense to the government and
the Taxpayers and were, in large meas
ure, responsible for the postal deficit.
He proposed to correct this by increas-
ing the rate of postage on the adver-
Using pages of the magazines. This
recommendation was approved by
President Taft, and from that moment
the leading magazines have neglected
no occasion to misinterpret the Presi-
dents utterances and question his mo-
tiyes.
Congress failed to legislate on the
subject of second-class postage and
General Hitchcock did the next
best thing-ordered the magazines
carried as freight to the large distrib-
uting centers and thence delivered
through the regular mail channels.
This effected large saving in the
cost of transporting such publications
and it worked no hardship to the
magazine publishers. Nevertheless
they have continued their efforts to
influence the public against Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock and President
Taft, and they are egotistical enough
to believe they can effect this result.
If the matter Of transporting the
magazines is to be an issue the peo-
pie rhould unanimously side with the
administration and against the maya
zine publishers. The latter have been
enjoying what amounts to subsidy
and the people have been paying the
bill The President and postmaster
general are actuated by desire to
maintain the postal service without
imposing burdens on the people in the
shape of appropriations for postal de-
ficits, and their efforts to accomplish
this should be recognized and reward
ed as they deserve.
