These are the extreme type but there

These are the extreme type but there
are altogether too many Of them.
But there Is another side to the
shield. If Dougherty had every cent Of
the hal: million where he could put his
hands on 1t the day he was freed, ne
sold himself too cheap. 1: you ,r't
believe it ask Dougherty. Th re isn't
money enough in the world to induce
him to go back to the pen for another
six year period. He knows now what q
penitentiary term costs, realizes what
he traded for the 100000 he stole from
the school funds He knows now that
the poorest man on earth would sell six
years Of his liberty, his reputation,
hopes and the future Of himself ami
children too cheap for the greatest for
tune in the world. Dousnerty knows
now how cheap he sold himself.
There's nothing to a million dollars
for any man, mainly nothing in it II
trouble and contraction uf soul No
body can use the interest on mil
lion for himself and his and keep him
self and his, clean, thrifty and growing.
A lot of money is mighty dangerous
thing even to the man who worked hard
for it. II is more dangerous to mis-
children. This idea that the rich are
happiest is all poppycock. There isn't
a particle of fact in 1t. The laborer
who rears a strong capable son who
rises higher than his father is proud
and happy man. The wealthy man who
sheds tears over a worthless degen-
crate is the unhappiest man alive.
Perhaps Dougherty should have le,n
kept In prison longer; perhaps not. II
depends on whether he has learned his
lesson. A thief is a thief whether he
steals horse or half million.

WHEN THE MERCURY CROPS.

children shiver in half heated homes

To enjoy comfort needless of the

of suffering Is swinish satisfaction.
Somewhere women and children were
cold and hungry last night. And per-

When the north wind is out and the

THE BUSINESS HELD.

The situation both In Europe and
the United States only needs that
strengthening of confidence which
opens great stores OF capital to big
undertakings to bring about notable

born to uncertainty has been the chief
underlying cause of the retarded bust
ness enterprise. Every development
that removes one or the causes OF UNI
certainty therefore makes for increased
activity.-Duns Review.
Some good reasons for confidence.

makes prosperity. are that within few
days heavy orders have been negotl-
ated for new rails by the railways dS-
gregating. 1t Is said. not less than
100000 tons: that manufacturing is
looking up and that the values of man
ufactured articles exported by this
country within the current twelve
months will probably run over the bill
lion dollar mark; that there is no lack
Of money: that crops are very good and
all underlying conditions fairly salts

In the drygoods trade. while there Is
little disposition to buy largely for the
future, there is a continued satlstac-
tory business in the supply of cur
rent requirements, and there is not
able increase of activity in print cloths.
Larger sales occur in Woolens anu

orally improved textile situation. The
seasonable weather and the approach
of the holidays ilnpart brisker ap-
pearance to retail trade. Leather Is
less active, but there have been heavy
sales of hides. with prices firm. The
government ginning report again
makes an unsurpassed record. clearly

the cotton crop. The recent heavy
rains have made excellent preparation
for winter wheat
In Iowa there can be small basis for
business pessiInisrn. Travelling men re-
port active business with a lingering
tendency to buy short for immediate
need. Much of this Is caused by eX-
pectation of further adjustment and
lower prices. The volume of trade,
however, continues good. Reports from
the corn crop so far gathered indicates
that 1t will be much better than ex-
pected. There is abundance of money
for legitimate needs and a common
sense tendency on the part of dnan-
ciers to refuse loans for speculative or
non productive purposes.
Altogether the main difficulty in the
way of business seems to be the fetch
Of presidential election and an ex-
cessive caution in legitimate trade.

FOR PARTY STRENGTH.

mason City Times1.
The call for the republican national
convention will be issued by the ma
tional committee on Dec. ~ next. the
convention will probably be designated
for some time In June. and In the in
term the respective states will have
named their delegates. who. In county.

Taft will convince the doubling states
that the west is demanding a new
leader and will tend toNlean them that

the matter upon the judgment OF
Iowa's voters.
Whichever way the final outcome, II
will give more time for republicans
who have been split asunder by fac
