The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1911-06-07

Twenty years ago farmer in east
ern Iowa started business. His as
sets consisted of fair health and a
good wife. His liabilities were in the
form of notes covering the value q
all stock and ma chinery on the farm.
Today that farmer lives near town on
seventy acres of his own land worth
$500 per acre. Besides this. he owns
two one hundred and sixty acre farms
and section of unbroken land in
Dakota.
You ask the secret of his success
Two words reveal it-ecOnomy, Oppor-
tunity. The advantages derived from
both are the direct result OF the use of
brains and business principles. He
says himself that it matters little how
much a man may know or how hard
he may work if, by virtue of correct
planning, he does not use that knowl-
edge and that labor to bring the best
results.
Economy is the first reason for his
success. He realizes full well that a
"dollar saved is dollar earned" but
he does not fail 10 spend. it if there
is promise of reasonable returns. Good
spending is virtue as we'll as good
saving. His is the economy which
teaches that it is more profitable to
keep a good hired man at $35 than a
poor one at $40. His machinery lasts
longer than that of his neighbor be-
cause it is always in good repair.
Sloughs on his farm are tiled and
made tillable. Woven wire fences,
by preventing cuts and scars, have
increased the value of his horses. On

QUESTION OF VOTE UNSETTLED
Friends of Illinois Solon Want Vote
Taken This Session, While the
Opposition Will Try to De-
lay Action.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 23.-Not-
withstanding the anxiety of many SEN
ators to dispatch business. and the es-
pecial desire Of Lorimers friends to
get a vote in his case, there was little
prospect at the beginning of today's
session OF the Senate that any marked
progress would be made during the
sitting.
Senator Burrows. who controls the
case in the interest of the committee,
and who is a staunch supporter or
Lorimer, stands ready to vote at any
time the Senate will permit such ac-
ton, and it was his announced inten-
tion this morning TO ask the Senate
during the day TO fix time for a vote.
The causes of the changed condition
are manifold, but in the main are due
on the one hand TO desire on the
part of Lorimer's opponents To coun-
teract the impression made by Lori
mers speech yesterday in his own be-
half, and on the other to a determine
tion to stand off the reciprocity bill.
Beveridge was expected TO take the
floor at the beginning of the days ses-
sion and as he told his friends that
he had only half concluded his argu-
ment the expectation was that he
would occupy the greater part of the
day After him Senator Stone is ex-
pected to make brief speech in oppo-
sition to the Illinois senator, and the
general impression is that Senator La
Toilette will ask TO be heard at length
in opposition.
It is planned by friends OF Lorimer
not TO allow his enemies to close the
debate. Gallinger and Burrows are
among those who will be heard on that
side.
A bitter feeling has arisen among
the contending factions so that the
prospect is that from this time on the
debate will be lively. One acrid speech
provokes others. Some senators ex-
pressed doubt today whether the case
could be decided before the final ad-
journment Lorimer's friends now
claim "a out of the 81 votes in the
senate. The opposition to Lorimer
gives no figures.
No Vote Today.
The Lorimer case will not come to
a vote today. and probably not for
several days, yet If at all at this ses-
sion. That was made evident in the
interchange which preceded the long
anti-Lorimer speech delivered this af-
ternoon by Beveridge.
Burrows sought to fix by unanimous
consent an hour for vote Lodge oh
jected. He said il was of utmost inn
portance that the Senate go into ex-
ecutive session at the earliest possible
moment, presumably on the Japanese
treaty.
Stone OF Missouri, said he desired
to make a few remarks on the Lori
mer case himself.

NAVAL FLEET TO
GO TO CHICAGO
DULUTH LOSES ANNUAL MANEU-
VERS OF THE GREAT LAKES
RES ERVES NEXT
SUMMER.

The ships of the Great Lakes squad
ron, including the Yantic of Hancock,
will go to Lake Michigan on the an
nual cruise to the naval militia of the
lake states Aug. to II this year.
Thereby the people who have charge
of the summer festival and water car
nival planned for Duluth this year be-
lieve they have a just cause for griev-
ance, and they will emit prolonged
howl that is certain to reach the ears
Of Commander c. G. Marsh, who has
charge of naval militia maneuvers.
The howl will probably be ineffect-
ual in changing the date and place of
the maneuvers now. but the Duluth
people will let Commander Marsh
know that they disapprove of his
breaking his promise to bring the ships
to Duluth for the winter carnival. says
the Duluth Herald
When the Great Lakes squadron was
at Buffalo last summer Commander
Marsh assured Commander Guy Eaton
of the Minnesota Naval Militia that
on the annual cruise i'm 1911. Com
mander Eaton sent the glad tidings to
Duluth by wireless, and the people
who then planned the big water car
nival for this year began to count on
the naval militia fleet being in the har-
Dor at some time during the carnival,
which will be held July II to 22. and
they now learn with a good deal of
chagrin that Commander Marsh has
passed up Duluth I'm arranging for this
years maneuvers.
Commander Marsh gives as his rea-
son for the change of arrangements
the fact that naval training station
Is to be dedicated on Lake Michigan
this year. AS a reserve part of the
equipment of the United States navy
and the only representatives of that
branch of the federal government on
the Great Lakes. IL is desired that the
ships of the Great Lakes squadron be
present at the dedication. The ships
will come to Duluth in 1912, Com
mander Marsh says.
Although Commander Marsh may
believe he has good reason for chang
ing the arrangements, the Duluth peo-
pie interested believe he should have
given Duluth some intimation of the
proposed change before making 1t. He
gave Commander Eaton his promise
last year and Commander Eaton con-
veyed 1t to the people Of Duluth. Com
mander Marsh should have held that
promise at more weight than he did.
Duluth people say, and they will sub
NIT to him n vigorous protest against
his action.
The Duluth water carnival will so on
without the naval militia ships.
The cruise of the militia this year
will take the ships to Chicago, and
the boys of the Hancock division are
looking forward with interest to the
trip. When Chicago is visited every
large city on the lakes with the excep-
ton of Duluth will have been visited
I'm the course of three years.
