THE BUSINESS FIELD.

The better sentiment prevailing in
most Of the markets is clearly revealed
in the reports which come from the
different section Of the country and
notably from the leading centers of
the west and south. 1t is accentuated
by constantly improving conditions
making for good crops, by the steady
expansion in the principal trades, and
" the removal one by one of causes
OF uncertainty There is now a suspen-
sion Of anthracite mining in this coun-
Try. this regarded as being merely
temporary. but in England the great
coal strike is drawing to q close. A
new sign Of trade expansion Is the
tendency toward higher rates Of money.
1t is significant that while the num-
Der Of commercial failures during the
first quarter Of the year was large.
there was plain proof Of expanding in
vestment. and a notable increase in the
output of new securities and short term
notes in the same period
The most recent statistics again con-
firm the advancing movement. Bank
clearings outside New York this week
increased 6.s per cent over 1911 and
~ per cent over 1910. while in New
York there were gains of 1871 and 1913
per cent, respectively, the activity of
the speculative market swelling the to-
tai. Railroad gross earnings in March
gained So per cent. New business in
both pig iron and finished products is
steadily growing. The betterment in
the dry goods and wooden trades is
is maintained. with advancing prices
print cloths have been large. Leather
continues more active and stronger.
Winter wheat prospects, especially in
the southwest. improve. Copper specu-
lation is active and strong Foreign
commerce is active, with exports from
New York during the latest week s16,-
es1,353, being s2.2o4,334 larger than last
year and s5.s6s.1s4 larger than in 1910:
imports were also heavier. being $23.

The growth of business confidence.
which is so plainly in evidence may be
greater than the growth in business ac-
tivity. but the latter steadily increases.
and is. moreover, supported by sub
stantial contributions to the soundness
Of general conditions. Among various
factors which contribute to the return
Of confidence noted in business lines is
more constructive trend OF thought,
entertained generally. Following pro-
certainty. due largely to Investigations
and prosecutions on the part OF the
government. there seems to be a more
universal desire on the part Of the
public to encourage business and in
dustrial institutions Corporations and
the public are coming to realize that
their interests are mutual. that it is
wise to live and let live.
Summed up the most serious cloud
on the horizon Of the business sky is
the possibility Of labor difficulties. II
we are to have new and uninterrupted
period of business and industrial ac-
tiv!ty the wage workers must bear their
part in it's establishment. It is time
for very serious consideration on the
part Of labor leaders and labor in gen.

The girls OF the graduating class at
Boone have had a meeting and have
decided that no graduating gown is to
cots more than $40. OF course Boone
is prosperous community and the
girls may all have fathers who are in
comfortable circumstances. On the
other hand it must make papa grin, II
he is just laborer or a clerk or some
thing OF the sort, when he considers
that he is only required to work for
ten days to two weeks in order that
his daughter may be properly arrayed
on commencement day. And, of course
the dress is only a part of the ex-
pense. If papa is Just a worker, he
may have to put in from four to six
weeks to pay for that commencement
day folly. And when the young lady
gets busy and begins earning a little
money of her own, she will begin to
get different light on the situation"

BETWEEN PROMOTERS AND WORKERS

The Marshalltown Times Republican n.
which has been most strenuous in
years past for aggressive promotion
work in the cause Of reform, has
suddenly been seized with that most
pleasing delusion that in some in
scrutable way things move themselves
in this world.
Witness the following:
Neither Clarke nor Holden can make
a greater Iowa. The people of Iowa
are doing that every day. Iowas need
is for safe. useful, capable man, not
for promoter" Turning to the
state there is an interesting chapter
Of promotion history in the activities
of Clifford Thorne on the state rail-
road commission and of Attorney Cen
eral Cosson in the department Of jus
tice. We have had safe, useful.
capable men on the railroad commits :
sion for forty years, more or less. but
when has the state of Iowa ever done
as much to actually protect the Iowa
shipper, or secure an adjustment Of the
rates that affect Iowa, as it has the
rates that affect Iowa, as II has since
resort was had TO promoters ?-Des
Moines Register and Leader.
The T.-R. pleads not guilty. How
ever it can not see plainly the con-
nection between the Register and Leaf
er's candidate for governor and re-
form. AS between the two candidates
in question. Professor Holden and
Lieutenant Governor Clarke prefers as
manager Of the states business one
,,,hN hae chc of<
been trained in the business OF gov
eminent over the mere promoter. For
be it understood the promoters are
rarely fitted to conduct the business
they promote. Once promoted they seek
other fields Of promotion leaving those
trained in the particular business they
have promoted to succeed or fail as ca
pacity and training or it's lack shall
decide.
The Times Repub lican has not
changed. 1t stands precisely where it
has always stood for a greater Iowa
and efficient business administration
Of the affairs Of Iowa. The reference
by the Register and Leader to Clifford
Thorne and George Cosson as promoter
Is hardly fair to these men who are
not promoters in any sense Of the word
but active efficient officials who have
been busted with their duties.
The difference between them and the
promoter is illustrated by the incident
readily to be recalled by the Register
and Leader when 80 many Of the city
council Of Des Moines were away lee
turing on the Des Moines plan and at
tending various promotion functions
that there was great danger that GER
tain important city business could not
be transacted and that serious lose
would ensue to the municipality. Both
Thorne and Cosson have attended to
| business Of their offices and not to
! promotion. They have worked at their
trades. Thus they have assisted to
make greater Iowa because they have
done the will OF those who make great
| commemorative, the people Of the
state.
! There is q vast difference between
hot air and hard work, between blue
sky and corn ground, between the
shouting Of theories and blowing corn

GRADUATING GOWNS.

[Traer -Cltpper.1
The high schools OF Waterloo, Man
chester and many other Iowa cities
have adopted simple. uniform gowns
for lady graduates. That is one Of the
most sensible things that ever ema-
mated from a high school. The aver
age sweet girl graduate puts twice az
much time and thought into her grad
uating dress as she does into her ora
ton. She rather make hit with her
trousseau than to get a grade of 100
per cent. The practice of overdress-
ing on graduating night has gone to
such extremes that 1t is great hard
ship for parents in ordinary circum-
stances to meet the expense Of com
mencement. There is no sense in It.
The reform now on the way should be
hailed with delight by all sensible
people.

rates or lower tariff on MANUFACTURED
articles. Ask him a few questions on
these last issues"
The Carroll Herald says that Sena-
tor Kenyon will never win reelection
without getting out among the people.
1T is well known" the Herald con-
tinues, that his supporters are getting
tired Of the course he has pursued
thus far. On different occasions he
made appointments to speak. then
hiked off to Washington, leaving his
friends and anxious audiences in the
lurch. Senator Kenyon seems to think
that the senate would go out OF bus
mess If he were not present every time
a vote is taken. Pair with anybody?
Not on your life"
Senator LaFollette never has any

DOLLAR A DAY PENSIONS
Hardin County Citizen.1

Hardin County Citizen.l
Congress has \ never ending fuss on
about giving the old soldiers q dollar
a day pension and just the other day
voted down the proposition again. We
can see no good reason for denying the
old soldiers this last recognition in
their last days. It will only be a short
time when the Civil war veterans will
be no more. A nation that is worthy
Of existence must defend it's tbefenders.
The national congress fusses and
fumes around about giving the veter-
ans q little additional help in the clos
ing years Of their life and fights even
more strongly every effort to pry loose
from the crib Of special privilege the
big fellows who have profited at public
expense without doing much fighting
for the salvation Of their country.
It would seem that it was about
time to do the last act of help that
can be extended the veterans Of the
civil war.

CHANGES MADE
TO HELP COURTS
90 BUSINESS

Washington. d. c., Nov. 4--Revolu-
tionary changes in procedure in
equity cases influencing the courts
throughout the United States, are af-
fected in revised rules promulgated
to-day by the supreme court of the
United States. The object is to reduce
the cost of litigation and to eliminate
delays. Among the new rules, is one
which would prohibit the issue of pre-
l'minary injunctions without notice to
the opposite party and also restricting
issues of Temporary restraining or.
ders.
The new rules were announced by
Chief Justice White from the bench.
One of the tasks undertaken by him
when he was appointed chief justice
was to reform procedure in the
courts. He first revised the rules
of the supreme court itself.
For seventeen months the chief
justice and Justices Lurton and Van
devanter have been working on the
equity rules as a subcommittee Of
the court
Chief Justice White. explaining the
rules from the bench, grouped the
reforms under four or FIVE heads.
One was in regard to power by fed
eral courts in equitable matters.

EUR0PE.BAlkANS MAKE THEIR OWN TERMS

TO TERMINATE A WONDERFUL WAR

take the position that it would be an
infringement OF international law for
the moment.
The war must, therefore, continue
and the Turkish armies, which the
Porte has at last admitted have been
beaten, must keep on with their I'M
equal struggles against the victorious
invaders.
1t is hoped and believed that the
powers will soon find formula under
which they can offer their good Of
fees. The terms of peace themselves
! ents to settle, Bulgaria having again
warned that no Interference from the
outside will be tolerated. In this, she
has the support of her allies, who set
tied the political as well as the mil
itary aspect of the campaign before
the war was undertaken.
In the meantime the war is going on
and what was left of the Turkish army
after the defeat at Lule Bergas is
rushing for supposed safety behind
j
the Bulgarians left trying to cut it
off.
1t is suggested in some quarters
that Nazim Pasha, the Turkish COM
lmander-in-chief, has received rein
forcements and is making a last des.
perate stand to cover the retreat of
his shattered forces.
There is nothing, however, to con-
firm this belief, and the best informed
correspondents agree that only scat.
tered remnants of the Ottoman army
will be able TO reach the lines of
TChatalja.
While the number of troops engaged
in the series of battles fought between
the Turkish and Bulgarian armies in
Thrace during the last fortnight was
not so large as that of the armies that
fought in the Russo-Japanese war, yet
this probably will be the most savage
and bloody war ever fought in Europe.
The fighting is followed by many mas
sacres by the Turkish soldiers the bru-
tality of whom is hardly believabfe.
The reports issued by the Bulgarians
are probably exaggerated, but the ac-
counts of independent witnesses show
the situation in this respect is very
bad
One of the railway officials who es-
capped from Lule Bergas told that he
saw the bodies of two men of Turkish
citizenship, who had been run to
death with bayonets. He said:
Not an inch of white skin was Wis
ible on the whole surface of their
bodies, which were covered with
crust Of blood. l could not look at
food for days after | had seen them.
This is only one incident of the afro
cities committed
Asked as to the position of war cor
with the Turkish army,
he said:
Il should not give much for their
chance; as it will go hard with any
Christians who fall into the hands of
the Turkish irregulars. These are
beyond the control of their
officers, and they have been per-
petratlng wanton acts of cruelty all
