THE BUSINESS FIELD.

Extreme cold weather. While it has
stimulated certain branches of trade,
has had the general effect OF checking
retail distributions: otherwise the bust

confidence, combined with a CLEARLY de-

of business and cut down the num-

In the dry goods trade some labor
disturbances retard mill operations to
some extent but the outlook continues
very satisfactory. the volume Of trans

that exports of cotton goods to China
have been resumed. The wooden goods
distribution continues large, with prices

The New England shoe business ts

tho sales are not quite so large. Hides
are more active. The grain market is
firmer, but raw cotton is very irregu-

The weeks record Of bank clearings
is encoura ging, exhibiting a gain of
s.3 per cent over last year at New
York City and Of 1.9 per cent outside
New York. Railroad gross earnings
are barely up to those of last year,
showing a loss of IL per cent in the
first week of January. The financial

United States. there is an undercurrent
of unrest and uneasiness abroad, the

be at present readily measured.
The foreign commerce continues

notable expansion in 1911.

SOWING The WHlRLW WIND.

An item in an Iowa weekly relates
now the dissolute scion Of a prominent
family came into billiard hall and
proceeded to shoot 1t up. He came
extremely close to killing man or
two. Nothing had been done about
It" according to the newspaper from
which the account is cleaned.
This occurred in a typical Iowa
county seat among fine class of Iowa
citizenship. The sher!f's officers were
close at hand, the county attorney
heard about it without doubt on the
street as he came down town in the
morning. There are justices OF the
peace and constables in that county
seat and all these are sworn to keep
1.-THE peace and prosecute criminals.
Why was nothing done about it,"
If a tramp had come into town and
shot up q billiard hall there would
have been something doing Immediate
ly. II drunken boy without wealth
and prominence behind him had taken
q shot at citizen he would nave peen
safely and properly lodged in jail. And
that IL where every dangerous rowdy
belongs whether his father Is a scavan-
ger or q millionaire.
The incident recalls to newspaper
memory red day in the history OF
the county seat where nothing was

lence which Mortified the state. Has

w. o. PAYNE ON CUMMINS.
20 tive

That Senator Cummins will shortly
DE announced formally as candidate
for the republican nomination for
president. is the burden Of numerous
advices from Washington. The advices
are not authoritative; but they are
generally credited as true and we have
no doubt that they are true. The time
was g. few months ago when there was
little apparent reason for Mr.. Cummins
becoming a presidential candidate and
when his best friends in Iowa did not
want to see him a candidate; but con-
ditions in the meantime have material
ly changed. and while the conviction
has become practically universal with
in the republican party that President
Taft can not again be elected and must
in the interest Of the party, IL not Of
the country, be retired, there has been
a manifest failure OF public opinion to
center upon republican leader to be
supported for the succession. In this
situation there has been growing
recognition in Iowa and elsewhere that
a candidacy by Senator Cummins
would be fitting. Amid so complicated
conditions there Id no violent presump-
ton that his candidacy will be ratified
by the republican national convention;
but neither is there such presumption
in behalf Of anyone else concerning
whose election IL nominated there could
be reasonable hope or expectation, and
there are abundant reasons for antici-
pattns that Cummins, backed by Iowa,
can 20 into the convention with AZ
much general good will and with as
good basis for hoping for an ultimate
acceptance as can any other. With
this view predominating there has been
a growing conviction that Iowa should
make fair presentation Of It's own. and
in the country at large there has been
manifest . disposition 70 make such,

THE RURAL MAIL CARRIERS.
IRnckWsll Phonogranhl

The first half OF January has been
the most severe in many years, and
much suffering Of both man and beast
has resulted. 1t has been particularly
trying for the rural mail carriers owing
to the bitter cold and the blocked con-
d:tion Of the roads. al of the local car
riers came in with frozen faces last
" eek, and nearly exhausted horses.
1t is different breaking the road with
big, fresh team 70. three or four
miles and then thawing out by a red
hot steve than being out all day MAX
ing eight mile drive.
There are two things. at least. that a
rural carrier is not required to do
one is TO break out an otherwise i'm
rs;ssable road, and the other IS to stay
out until he freezes to death.
Let's be reasonable even If we are
not charitable. This Is an unusual
tough time and If people only got their
mail every other day for week or two
it would be no killing affair.
The carriers have each made an
honest, faithful eodeavor in all this
trying time TO serve every patron, and
this will continue while roads are
passable and weather conditions fit for
man or beast to make a continuous
twenty-eight mile trip.
Sometimes the country patron is
heard to remark that I'VE are paying
for this service and we want IT," All
such are reminded that I'VE" In town
help pay for this service and get none
Of the benefits, winter or summer, rain
or shine.
In conclusion, let's not forget that a
rural carrier ia after all a human be-
Ing and that there are surely two
things not required OF MIN. If we do
this, and all keep warm in the winter
and cool in the summer there is
reason to hope for long and happy
life.

PARCELS POST HELPFUL TO ALL
ITraer Star Clipper.l

tTraer Star Clipper.1
Oh yes. If we establish the parcels
post isn't 1t as clear as day that it is
going to upset the retail dealers trade?
/! Well that depends. We heard that the
rural routes would swamp the postal
department with an enormous deficit,
towns opposed it because if the country
people came to town for their mail
they would be pretty sure to buy
something before going home. But that
proved to be an argument without a
premise. Then there was the postal
bank proposition. Nothing could be
more certain than that if established it
would play hob with the local banks.
Now the local banks" are praising it
as a help rather than an obstacle to
their business. The parcels post will
help the local trade in every case. OF
course the mail order houses will get
trade. they get 1t anyhow already. Our
retailers are declaring that they fur
nish goods as cheap as the mail order
establishments. If they do, the parcels
post will be bonanza for them. John
son is not going to send an order to
Chicago and wait ten days for returns
if he can get it from local dealer in
one days time for what it would cost
to get 1t from Chicago. Of course the
local dealer whose rule is to TASK all
the profit the trade will BEAR will be
among the kickers. And. of course. the
buyers will still do what the merchants
do. that is, purchase where they can
buy the cheapest.
