Snee.i Crazy.

Marshalltown Tmes-Republican:
The public which complains against
speed madness and the newspapers
which condemn 1t have their own
part in cultivating it. First of all
we demand rapid transit. We call
for the fastest train and the speed
lest vessel. We want the best horse
in the livery barn and perfer the big
sixty horse machine with its speed
possibilities of seventy-five miles an
hour. The public demands telegra-
phic information as to broken speed
records and the newspipers buy and
print 1t and rush It to the street de-
mand and the subscriber.
The Titanic sought a record OF one
kind and made one Of another kind.
But suppose she had broken the
transatlantic record. The newspa-
pers would have been full Of It.
the passengers would have thrown
out chest and million persons who
never expect to be passengers on any
vessel larger than q toy steamer on
an inland lake would have read the
news with avidity. Most men read
the stirring accounts OF the mad
whirl around the Indianapolis speed
way. Thousands watched the bulle-
tin boards. An extraordinary fast
run by locomotive engineer makes
him famous in print. The aviator
who performs such especially death
defying" feat becomes public char
acter.
Speed madness Is not confined to
the speed maniacs who stand at the
rudder or sit at the steering wheels.
We are all guilty. We bring w the
boys in an atmosphere of speed In
sanity. We talk of it at homes read
1t in the press report, demand It in
the cars we consider for purchase.
The time Is speed crazy.

THE lower house of congress has passed, by vote of 25O to 40, tht excise tax bill, which will levy 8 tax upon all incomes of more thar $5000 annually. As that will not come within several hundred miles of most newspaper men, we are in- clined to think that this bill is a good thing. Come to think about it, if a man has an income of $5OOO a year or say $4999 99, is that not enough2 If he hes more should ht not divide the surplus in a sn. all way with t-e state? The cost of high living we know is great, and champagne baths and the fried gig cards of humming birds are nice, but when fellow chews up $4999. 99 year and has several thousanCs of dollars over as surplus he ought to be willing to treat his less fortunate friends with sufficien, payment of taxes to grease the griddle of the one who subslsts CT hydrant water and slapiacks.

EVERY country newspaper op poses the mail order practice and from time to time sets forth req sons and arguments against the practice. It may be true that there are some items. possibly many of them, on which saving can be made by purchasing from a mail order house, yet it is bad policy and poor economies to enrich an out slider, says the Gallup Republican We likewise believe that 1t is bad policy and poor economics for a business man to order his printing particularly the m)re common forms, from out of town concerns The printing bill of a merchant if inconsequential, especially the diff ference between what it costs hin at home and an out of town con cern. If that difference goes to the local printer, the merchant in the end gets the benefit of it by an in creased sale of goods.

and, for that reason alone, write this open letter. The writer has no interest in Salter Bros. x Co and never rec-ived a cent directly or indirectly from them for recom- mending them or securing c"nsign- ments. We induced that firm to take up this business in Arizona. They have saved thousands of dol lars for outfits in which we Wore interested and would have saved more had we given them fair show by consigning to them every year without offering to sell at one. We are not blaming the buyers for their fine work, we are only trying to protect our fellow growers against bad methode of marketing their wool. The People's National bank, a strong and relia ble institu tion, is now standing behind Salter
 Bros. & Co.,, ready and anxious .to furnish any financial support they and the wool growers may need MT. Foster, the president of this bank, on his recent trip west, after examining conditions of the wool business in Arizona, assured me oi his confidence in the great saving
 to the wool growers of the state by
 this plan of marketing their WOO and of his desire to aid in the financial side of the business by
 any reasonable advances that may he required by the growers on theil
 wool thus consigned. It is my can

 of Arizona could save $50,000 tt
 $10O.O00 per year by consigni* {

AN OPEN LETTER TO
 THE WOOLGROWERS

Tn the Woolgrowers of Arizona:
 The best and most economical method of marketing our wool in Arizona has been a difficult prob lem for years. It is one in which we should aid one another in all possible ways, for none of us are well advised as to the market value of our wool when it is shorn in the early spring.
 Arizona is comparatively small field. producing a. small clip of high grade wool. The buyers es- tablish the price first in Arizona and then work north into the dis tricts producing the larger clips Naturally they use strenuous eff forts to establish a low price in Ar izona because of it's influence on prices to be demanded by wool growers in adjoining states to be dealt with during the two or three months following.
 Is it any wonder that buyers in Arizona make combinations, buy in partnership, divide clips and work all manner of schemes to overcome real competition and thus depress prices? These buyers are paid lib- eral salaries to do that work and they do it we'll.
 A few weeks ago Gosney & lO'Dell and Schnebly & Price shear ed their sheep at Congress Junc- ton. The buyers bought the Schnebley & Price clip at 17 cents and offered 174 cents for the Cos ney & O'Dell clip. They conducted their campaign of education on market value of wool so success. fully as to persuade r rajority oi the woolgrowers to whom they could talk that these prices were all or a little better more than the wool was really worth. The Cos ney < O'Dell wool, however, was consigned to Salter Bros. & Co.,, at in former years, and we are now advised it is sold for 22 Cents in
 Boston, which will net us abou
 194 cents at shearing corrals-2t cents above the offer of the buyers | This is only one of many sucf experiences the writer has had 1T
 the last ten years, since our frs
 arrangement with Salter Bros. & Go. to handle our wool as brokers
 It is due to them and to the many small woolgrowers in Arizona tha
 these facts should be made kDowr

Of the largest property owners are OPP

Judgment" by the council, and are

That this view is reasonable Is in
dicated by the position of Mr.. Gallup
recently made plain In a communica-

vored pavement, but opposed the sslec-
ton of Dollarway upon the grounds
that his Investigation had shown it

The law points placed in issue by
the complaint in the case are as fol-

That there is no ordinance of dec

That by a change in the width of

1t is understood the agreement pro-

appointees are not to be disturbed
in their offices during the remainder
of the term.
Governor Hawley's decision to ac-
cept the appointment came only after
he was assured by republicans and
democratic leaders that it was their
desire that he take the office. Among
those who asked him to accept the
office was Republican State Chairman

Basing the action upon ten legal OBJ
jections taken to the proceedings of the
city council, which were presented by
Judge J. H. Forney as attorney for B.
o. Gallup and other property owners,
Judge Edgar G. Steele Of Lewiston has
evening issued an order to show cause
why permanent injunction against the
proposed paving of Moscow should not
issue.
Although the name of B. o. Gallup,
owner of the block on Main street be-
tween Second and Third, is the >only
plaintiff directly appearing, it is under
stood that the action has the support
of several of the largest property own
ers and business men of the city.
1t was stated this morning that the
injunction was not asked to prevent
the paving of Moscow, but for the pur-
pose of preventing any action that
would not be in strict accordance with
law

GERMANY IS LEFT OUT IN TURKEY DIVISION PLANS
Triple Alliance Ignored by Balkans
Bulgars Close to Constantin0ple---
Peace Terms Rejected

BERLIN, Nov. 16. Official circles
particularly the war Office and the
foreign Office are all excited regarding
the reported plans Of the Balkan
states to provide concessions to Eng.
land, Russia and France In the parti-
ton Of Turkey in Europe and abso-
lutely ignore Germany.
The Kaiser is reported greatly in
censed over the report and ut the war
Office there is renewed activity In pre-
paratiOn for the war which such a
plan would inevitably lead to.
According to the report France and
Russia are to get commercial advan-
tages In Asia Minor, which has hitherto
been looked upon as under Germany's
particular sphere of influence. Eng
land is to get the ports of Sunda Bay
and Chett.
This recognition of the triple en-
tente, while at the same complete
Iy ignoring the triple alliance, is de-
clared to be more likely to lead to war
than any complication yet developed
In the Balkan situation. Germany,
Austria and Italy are expected to vote
such an arrangement
