Editor Evening MIN
justice to myself and to the several
firms In the States which are repre-
scented by me here, ] wish to make
general denial OF the allegations
published In the issue of your paper
yesterday under the heading of Pack
ing Cases Believed to Have Contained
Opium are Uncovered
There were several cases consign-
ed to me which arrived on the S. s.
Wilhelmina The cases were packed
In San Francisco and were shipped
by Ben. j. Schmidt & Co. of that city,
a respectable firm of long standing.
! challenge Mr.. Breckons to prove
that any of these cases ever contain
ed opium. consider his action rep
rehenslble in thus publishing me as a
smuggler. Has not Mr.. Breckons re-
ceived little too much notorlety
lately in regard to opium smuggling?
Would 1t not be better for him to Sc
cure proof of any persons guilt be-
fore giving out information to the
daily paper? He goes at 1t like a
school boy in my opinion.
Thanking you for the space, | am,
Yours very truly,
L. KoON CHoCK.

AID The SANITATION scheme,

Having mapped out a plan, the San
itation Commission is certain TO score
"A speedy success for safe and mo-
squitoless Honolulu, II the people will
get together and do what they can to-
ward building to that plan.
In the scheme shaped up by DIR.
Currie and adopted by the Commits
sion, there is work for every man, wo-
man and child in this city. The Off
GERS of the Board of Health and the
city officials hold the posts of special
responsibility, but they must have the
assistance of the public as well as 1T
helpful criticism
One of the reassuring signs of the
times is evidence ON the part OF prop
erty owners of their belief that II
pays to put their lands and more es-
pecially their houses, In sanitary
! condition We won't stop to wonder
why they have not thought of this be-
fore. but rather will we urge them
on in the hope that with the improve
ment OF their household property, they
will come TO realize that It will also
pay TO reclaim the taro patches and
the rice swamps when the water
soaked areas are In close proximity

tural state and the values Of Iowa
farms and their equipment have more
than doubled since 1900. In sections
Of the state these values have quad
rupled. Since 1900 the value Of do
mestic animals increased 400 per cent.
The value Of Iowa hogs increased 59,l
per cent and Iowa is some hog state. OF
mules HOS per cent, the increase Of
horse values was seven eighths as
great as the increase on all livestock
values, the ten-year increase Of value
of the fowls on Iowa farms was from
six and half millions to s12,270, 600.
Let's quit this mock mourning for
Iowa Iowa doesn't need to come
back" She has never looked back,
never even hesitated. The insane de-
sire of certain politicians to put the
state in the hole that they may pose
as a rescue party has done Iowa all
the damage it can which isn't much,
and has got very little for themselves.

"Ihe Potato Business"

There was an estimated shortage OF
between 100000 and 90.000.0OO BUSH
els in the potato crop of the United
States last year. 1t is pretty difficult
for the average intellect to grasp these
numerals in their full meaning, but 1t
may come easier when 1t Is stated
that every man, woman and child
within the borders Of the republic has
an allowance Of about four bushels OF
potatoes annually and that this allow
ance would have been cut down t"
three bushels during the present year
If Scotland and some other countries
had not helped out. In 1900 the acre
age given over to potatoes in the Unit
ed States was 3.525.O00, an increase OF
about 100000 in ten years; the num-
Der Of bushels grown had increased
from 22S.7s3,232 to 37S.537,o00, and the
value Of the crop had advanced from
S9.32S.832 to 3206,545,000.
It will be seen from these statistics
that Americans are very fond OF this
purely native, II widely transplanted
vegetable But q stronger evidence OF
this fact Is to be found in the recent
arrival in New York from Glasgow OF
one potato cargo Of 1900 tons and II
the announcement that several Other
carEoes are to follow. Scotland 10 moi

THE NEWSPAPER AND THE TOWN.

One OF the professional boomers Wis
tied Clinton recently and there he told
the business men many things. With
the majority they were probably famil-
lar. incidentally, he advised the Gin
tonians to prod up their newspapers.
To get their papers to boost. lnumat-
ed that the press of Iowa had been
rather remiss in this respect
1t is TO laugh" Here is the Iowa
press that has been boosting and
booming for all these years, and has
done it as matter Of principle, and
has learned to love the work and has
never gotten a dollar out of it. And
by and by that Iowa press gets the
people aroused, and they form organi-
cations of various kinds of amateur and
professional boosters. One of these or
CARNATIONS that would never have
seen daylight. had it not been for the
unliring efforts OF the Iowa press. rails
eS q nice fund and gives that to the
eastern papers, where the expenditure
is expected 70 do the most good. And
some of the paid boosters, who never
would have had their jobs had it not
been for the patient and untiring and
effective work of the Iowa press, now
so up and down the state and indulge
IN the innocent amusement of shying a
few bricks at that press. which brought
into existence the good positions which
they hold and Of solemningly advising
the business men TO get after and prod
up the Iowa press, which made it pos
sible for them to gallivant around in
the state and address business men 5

There is little need of comment or

QUIT LYING ABOUT IOWA.

Every now and then somebody who
gets a chance to speak at meeting Of
sufficient prominence to get a report
of what was said and done there into
the newspapers mourns over 1owas
alleged decadence and expresses his
faith that iowa will come back"
Whenever a speaker has nothing much
to say and wonders how he shall say it
he reverts to that per cent population
loss and weeps. Then he strikes an
attitude and predicts in a mother, home

I OF Iowa. It would be funny if it were
not asinine and annoying. AS it is it
makes people tired.

JUR1Es AND TEARS.


1t is not to the discredit Of men that
act on juries they let the milk Of hui
man kindness influence them in their
findings. A case in point is that OF
DR.. Henry B. Kelly, who shot and kill
ed a man in Des Moines. 1t appears
that DR.. Kelly was crazy drunk when
he did the killing and the jury kindly
found he was insane, when the killing
occurred, and then, illogically, found
him guilty Of manslaughter. Much
play was made in behalf OF a sorrow
ing mother and the weakness Of the
defendant. But really such men are
a menace to society and while nobody
Is likely to suffer on account of the
finding Of the jury. yet such fellows
should do their thinking about their
mothers. when they are living riotous
lives. There Is no excuse for a young
man at college giving himself over to
drink, and when they do, it is a poor
policy to play them for innocence. The
poor mother has suffered much. but it
is nonsense to talk about Kelly being
excusable because he was drunk. Com
passion for the mother is human and no
doubt 1t had much to do with the YER
dict But Kelly, himself, is not en-
titled to sym pathy.

nited states and elsewhere.

United States and elsewhere.
But in this they are by no means
ahead of the American growers, whose
crops last spring were up to the aver
age. Some Of the latter have been able
TO command practically their own
price. In this connection 1t will be in
order to mention the interesting fact
that In recent years the state of Maine
has forged ahead in potato culture I'M
til It Is now led only by New York and
Michigan. It's yield to the planted acre
in 1909 far outstripped that of any
competitor, 1t being 225 bushels. as
against 12o bushels for New York and
1O5 for Michigan.
Bringing potatoes to the United
States is a little like sending Goals to
Newcastle. for potatoes to supply the
world might be raised in this country
even in SPECIALIZED short" years If the
available and suitable soil were fully
cultivated.

Looker-Or In Iona

Maxwell. Dec. 15-Not in twenty five
years has the local public in rhe towns
between Marion and Perry on the Chi
caco. Milwaukee & St. Paul railway,
had 80 unsatisfactory service as at
present. No one living west Of Per
~, CT travelling men working these
towns can get into towns east or
Perry until tire next day. AS these
towns all along here have only one
passenger train each way every TWEEN
ty-four hours. the local travel means,
drive one way. To go to Des Moines
end return on the Milwaukee takes two
DAYS, two days for a trip across coun-
try. only tnirty-t three miles. To go to
Chicago these people take the MilWau-
kee to lama, then pay their good
money to the Chicago & Northwestern
for the rest Of the trip and return the
same way. Travelling men, indignant
over this condition of affairs, route ev-
ervthing over some other railroad at
competing points. Business men here
have called on the officials and only
get promises Of change. This town
will probably at the next council meet
| ing instruct an enforcement of the
state law-eight miles an hour for all
trains thru city limits. They have

And the wonder is so big and so good

least one railroad agent In Iowa. He
gave up a good job as agent, got po-
sition in the general offices In Chicago
and then snapped back to his Old
place, altho his present place is harder
and longer hours. And his explanation
is this, out here he is somebody II only
a railroad agent with all Of its petty
annoyances. In Chicago he was nothing
but a human machine, dealing In fig
