COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, Oct.
2O.-A parade of nearly 5000 Odd
Fellows and members of the Rebekah
lodges of Iowa was the climax to a
big day in the meeting Of the grand
lodge of the order in Iowa. Each of
the eight divisions was headed by a
band. It was a striking example of
the strength and Importance Of the
order in the state and was surprise

Officers and members of the Patriarchs

three hundred in line. The parade
was followed by memorial services.
A feature OF the day was an enter

how Sioux City has grown In sixty

what it has done, is doing and will do:
Of its educational advantages, its in.

PROTECTION AND PROSPERITY

Just now there is a great outcry
against protection, as If it were the
cause of every national i'll. Formerly
Democrats only inyeighed against it,
hut now a large element of the Re-
publican party are vying with the life
long free-traders in seeking to bring
it into disrepute. Nevertheless the
following maxims promulgated by the
late David H. Mason continue to be
true. Mr.. Mason publicly challenged
disproof of them. but no free-trader
ever accepted the challenge for the
good and sufficient reason that they
are indisputable:
/. All of the real prosperity in the
United States has been under protec-
ton.
2. All of hard times in the United
States has been under anti-protec-
ton.
8. Prosperity never has returned
until the return Of protection.
a. The farther congress, in its tar
| iff, has departed from protection. the
more disastrous have been the conse
quences.
5. The farther congress has gone
in the direction of full protection, the
more prosperous have the people be
come.
6. In all of our national experience
there is not even one exception t
these propositions.
7. Therefore, the issue between
protection and anti-protection is, ex
perimentaIly considered, a chronic is
sue between prosperity and hare
times.

tical might wonder If 1t would ever
prove to be paying enterprise. But
we have been told that there is
enough power already contracted to

In order for man to make good

stands to reason that he must make

30,00o,000 of workers dependent upon
the consent of the unions for their
right to labor. He denounced the con-

a ringing encomium he praised and
dignified labor, but deplored it's re-

here, opened an auction sale of his

stock. Several good auctioneers fig

Mr.. U. S. G. Foster and wife, the
former OF whom has just come in from
a rural vacation, have opened up a
new store right where they sold out

their ability to soon regain their for

Lawyers are Interested In the fact
that with the departure Of 1911 the
United states circuit court will au-
tomatically cease to exist, in accord
ance with the act of congress OF
March 8 last. All suits and proceed
ings pending in those courts will be
handled in the United States district
courts In the same manner and with
the same effect as If originally be
gan therein. The argument which
prevailed in bringing about this ex'
tinction Is that the procedure will be
greatly simplified by the change, and
the cost of operation and expense o.
litigation be considerably reduced.

speaks volumes in their praise, they
are coming right up TO it.
These enterprising and energetic
tillers OF the soil are not to be left.
Among them millionaires are scarce,
but they are all well to do. Not many
of them are very large land owners,
but remarkably few of them are rent
ers. Their middling-sized holdings
are well improved. They live in good
houses Of respectable architecture.
They stable their stock in roomy, well
built barns. They have for years en-
pioyed the best tools and machinery
that are made for stirring the fields
and harvesting the crops. And now
they are adopting the most effective
devices for economizing feed, and for
compromising the loss that follows
dry summers. OF course, the silo Is
among the chief of these devices, and
hence the silo now appears. 1t comes

Col. W. P. Hepburn, former repre-

district Of this state. was one of the
principal speakers at the reunion OF
the Army of the Tennessee in Council
Bluffs last week. The Nonpareil pub
llshed there has made public resume
of his utterances, which dealt chiefly
with three important subjects. The
first of these was divorce, in discuss
ing which Colonel Hepburn referred
to the recent statistics indicating the
great prevalence of divorce in the
homes Of Iowa in general and Des
Moines in particular. Unless rem
edv is found the well-being of the state
Will be seriously menaced.
4 In his discussion of the second OF
the questions. that of neglect of the
ballot, he referred to recent instance
where a Chicago multimillionaire mer-
chant had admitted that he had not
voted for twenty years, and condemn
ed such action as tending to control
of the government by the element
which vote not wisely but too often
He also referred to the recent election
in Omaha on the commission plan
where he said, complete change in
the municipal government had been
made by an election at which only
one-ffth Of the voters cast their bal
lots.
