IOWA LAND At s1oo PER ACRE
An Able Address Of Interest to Every
Citizen Of Iowa Delivered
by An Iowa Man.

At the annual dinner of the Iowa So
ciety in New York, held on March
29th of this year, the Hon. George E.
Roberts, director of the mint, whose
home is at FIT. Dodge, delivered an ad-
dress, his subject being "$1OO Dollars

to Iowa land. There is so much ex.
pressed in the brief address that we
publish it here in full:
There are some apparent disadvant-
ages in having the Iowa u.nner so late
in the season; the OratOrical lights
have burned low, the new jokes have
all become old and almost every topic
under the sun has been worn to a
trazzle, not to speak of the condition
OF the regular diner-outs. But when
your president wired to know what |
would talk about this evening re.
membered that in any company of
loWans, at home or abroad, there is al.
ways one topic OF unfailing interest
and that is the price of Iowa lands

that it has gotten to where the argu

has the privilege of choice has about
concluded that the odds are in favor
of the farm.
I'VE are all aware that great
change has come over the circum
stances Of the Iowa farmer, and what
is true OF him is true of farmers every

THE REPUBLICAN
STATE CONVENTION
A Gathering of Representative Repub-
Ijcans of State-Intense Interest
Manifested by Delegates.
BEST OF FEELING PREVAILED
Each Delegate Knew What He Was
There for, Not Single One Had
to be ToIe Object

The republican state convention,
held at Cedar Rapids last week, was
Ia notable one in many respects. 1t
was notable because it was gather
ing of the representative republicans
of the state and we doubt if within a
long time to come larger number
of the party leaders of the state will
be found together. 1t was notable be-
cause of the intensity of the interest
manifested by the large number of
delegates making up the convention.
1t was notable because of the fact
that each delegate knew exactly what
he was. there for. Not single dele
gate had to be told after he arrived
lat Cedar Rapids what was the object
lof his attending the convention. 1t
was a convention that could not be
stampeded in favor of any candidate
by any influence or oratorical appeal.
1t was notable because there were
761 delegates sent there by their con-
lstituents to favor the denomination OF
President Taft, and about 720 that
were there to support the opposition
candidates.
The Taft forces went prepared to
follow his banner any place his inter
ests were involved. The opposition to
Taft was manipulated by Cummins
and Roosevelt so that it was held to-
gether in such a way as to be subject
to control.
1t was notable because of the good
nature displayed by the delegates to-
ward each other. When the conven
tion was over there was little soreness
over the result, and though disappoint
ed the defeated candidates accepted
defeat as cemplacently as could be ex
pected.
1t was notable in that the delegates
placed the seal of their condemnation

Some people think the gold miners

an address in this city few weeks
ago in which a distinguished gentle
man gave warning that gold would
soon be too plentiful and cheap for
longer use as the standard of value.
Now it is true that the production of
gold has largely increased in the last
twenty years, rising from little above
$1O0 100000 in 1890 to about $4oO,O0O,-
900 in 1911. That on the face of it is

free to say that do not see how any
one can question that it must have

financial world. But there are coun-

taken into account, and which l can

"The fact is that we do not need to
|go beyond the conditions surrounding
the product and consumption of the
staples to find an explanation. l am
convinced myself that the principal
factor in the rise of prices the world
aver is the gain in population upon
iucts, and more particularly the change
that has come over the United States
in this respect in the last dozen years.
1t is to be remembered that the
United States has been the chief fac
tor in the worlds markets for food
and raw materials. 1t has been the
chief source of supply for the import
ing nations, so that any change in the
relations of production and consump-
tion here. or any change in prices
here, would be influential in all world
markets.
"Now look at the changes that have
occurred here. From the beginning
