''Whoe'er has Travelled LIES dull round,
Where'er his stages may have been,
May sigh to think he still has found
The warmest welcome at an inn"
Shenstone.


An American historian has said that
lin the first quarter of the present CEN
fury the leading men of the larger
towns seem to have realized that the
hotel, as a rule. was the index of the
place Of its location. A good hotel
meant prosperous town, and pub
lie spirited town would have good

1t is even more true now for at ev-
cry gateway of commerce must stand

these who Journey The yotaries of

comfort is wanting. When men suf-
fer from uncomfortable environment
while on business bent they drive
sharper bargains and are reluctant to
go that way again. The opening of
new, comfortable and commodious
hotels in American cities has usually
been followed by increased prestige
for that city and larger business activ-
|ity in that community. For instance,
the opening of the St. Charles Hotel
in New Orleans In 1886 made that city
the glory Of the southland, rapidly
built up an American part to the
city, and its streets became thronged
with tourists from abroad and men OF
wealth from the north. The same was
true for St Louis on the opening of
the first Planters House in 1874,
which was then called the largest
hotel west of the mountains. =
The hotel industry has grown rapid
| ly in recent years. The growth OF
hotels has made city life pleasant and
doubtless been an important factor in
the rapid growth of American cities.
Prior to the opening of the old st.
Charles Hotel in New Orleans there
were very few hotels in the world that
could accommodate 200 people. 1t &C.

THE NEWS FROM THE STORES.

There is a great deal of news in the
newspaper besides what is found in
the news columns"
The advertisements, too, have their
story OF successes. failures, and OPP
rortunities. The people who neglect
this story are as poorly fitted to DO
the buying for home, as the grocer
who would never read a produce re-

Every merchant is often finding,
through some error of judgment, or
through seasonal conditions beyond
human control that he must turn lis

struggle to get a high range Of values
from importers, manufacturers, and
jobbers. When he does get particular

IOWA AS q BUTTER STATE.

Iowa produces annually l0o,ooo,000
pounds of creamery. which at soc
per pound is worth s30,o00,0o0, ac-
cording to Commissioner w. B. Bar
ney.
The average Iowa COW produces 140
pounds of butter annually. An in
crease of 80 pounds per COW would
mean an additional income to Iowa
of s1S.T50, 900.
An increase OF 100 pounds per COW
would make net increase of s37, 5oo,-
600.
The best Iowa county produces q
545 pounds OF creamery butter per
square mile II the entire state pro
duced an equal amount on each
square mile, Iowa would yield annu-
ally 41S.55s,S75 pounds OF butter
worth s125, So, $3.50.
Herein lies Towas opportunity.
Is 1t worth while?

THE DEMOCRATS AND BUSINESS.

THE DEMOCRATS AND BUSINESS.
However one may feel about the
split in the Republican ranks, anyone
who has approved of the efficiency of
Republican business administration in
the past must dread to see the Demo
Gratis get control OF the machinery of
government.
Exulting at the Republican split,
our friends across the political fence
are busting their campaign roosters,
and practicing shouting. Let them
remember the many fowesy hopes of
August that are blasted by the chill
frosts of November
The Democrats have had complete
political control OF this country for
only two years since 1860. When they
had the presidency, the voters for all
but two years prudently kept stout
congressional string tied to 1t.
When the nation agrees for long
period on one verdict, NJ is usually
based on practical experience.
A man may be just as honest, just
as good a neighbor as amp other. But
If he has not had the right training.
he does not get job a, factory
superintendent or an Office manager.
For some reason the Democratic
party never seemed to have the gump-
ton to run the country's business
smoothly and prosperously.
Nothing causes so much suffering
10 working people as incompetent
mana cement No weapon in their
hands can avail against ineficiency
No political policy can bring so much
distress to the working man as be
falls him when business principles
are not correctly applied to the tariff
and finance.
OF course there are plenty OF good
business men who are Democrats
But the men who acquire leadershi.
N that party are not often men o
business capacity Commonly they go
their business training OF politician;
Tor college professors. They max,
costly and irreparabIe plumbers.
The long continued success Of tn,
Republican party in raEt years hai
been due to the fact that its leaders
whether business men, or not, KEEP
closely in touch with the bushes
community and ran public bushes
lliku successful private concern.
Anyone can tell the difference b.
practical experience. The Democrat
way showed up in the country'g heir
less economic foundeYing from 1se
to 1897. The Republican way has bee,
II illustrated By the prosperity of tn
fifteen years since.

you;
4Knock,', and you go it alone;
For the cheerful grin
Will let you in
Where the knocker is never known
Growl, and the way looks dreary;
Laugh and the path is bright;
For the welcome smile
Brings sunshine, while
a frown shuts out the light.
Sigh. and you rake In" nothing
Work, and the prize is won;
For the neryy man
With backbone can
BY nothing be out done.
Hustle. And fortune awaits you;
Shirk, And defeat is sure
For there's no chance
Of deliverance
For the chap who can't endure.
Sing, and the worlds harmonious,
Grumble, and things go wrong,
And all the time
You are out of rhyme
With the busy hustling throng.
Kick, and there's trouble brewing;
Whistle. and life is gay,
And the worlds in tune
Like a day in June,
And the clouds all melt away.

VOTE IN MICHIGAN
SHOWS MOOSE WEAK
New Party Polls Only Per Cent Of
6. o. P. Strength in
Primary.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 29.-Analy-i
sis OF the vote in Tuesdays primary
election indicates that the bull moose
strength In the state is not much
greater than that Of the prohibitions
list party. Figures taken from coun-
ties In all parts Of the state show the
same results, the progressive candi-
dates polled only about per cent OF
the vote obtained by the republican
candidates.
las the democratic vote ran nomi-
nally near the figure of total enroll
ment, it rs apparent that most of the
bull moose vote came from the G. O.
P. ranks. and as the falling off of the
republican vote in comparison to the
total enrolment is almost ten times
| the total progressive vote, it is as
sumed that the bulk of the enrolled
| republicans who did vote, stuck to
their old colors.
/ In some upstate counties the bull
i moose was hardly discernible, as in
l,Macomb, one of the largest in the
eastern half of the state aside from
Wayne, where the total progressive
vote was but twenty-five. The pro-
gressives had been anticipating great
things from this county. In Wayne
county, the total republican vote was
%, 900, that of the progressiyes was
less than 2,0Gn In Wayne (Detroit),
the progressives had many candidates
In the field and every incentive to
enroll and vote, and the fact was
widely advertised by their leaders,
that any voter enrolled with one oil
the old parties could re-enroll as a
progressive on primary day, because
of the fact that the progressive party
was not in existence on regular en-
rollment day.
A Z per cent detection from the
republican ranks would leave tha'
party still dominant in Michigan BY
more than a 100000 majority, as fal
as the presidential TICKET is concern
