Fer Federal Marriage Lav..

l
"A federal marriage law requiring .
brides and grooms In needed in the
United States to check deterioration of
the national physique.
This was the assertion Of DR.. Newell
Dwight Hills OF Brooklyn, who adj
dressed the Sunday Evening Club in
| Orchestra Hall. He suggested the pas
sage Of such law a. part OF . plan
to stop what he termed the gradual
decay Of the human race in America"
Or. Hills cited Germany - q model
nation In the preservation Of, health,
pointing out the rapid strides Of that
country In literary. art and science. He
| said Germany is SURPRISING all the
other nations because Il takes care Of
! it, national health.
He suggested hysienic exhibition
for Chicago similar to the national ex-
hihition given recently in Dresden
Germany.
Old Parties Must Watch Socialists.
Rev. Frederick winslow Adams,
| writing in the Reform Bulletin warns
, the old parties in New York state that
II they do not give the people reform
the socialists viii succeed in electins
the next governor Of New York, whom
he thinks will be Dr. Lunn Adams
says:
"If the republicans and democrats
combine in Albany to defeat direct pri !
maries. to lift the lid on race track
gambling. to leEalize the liquor traffic
on Sunday will It make possible the
election Of Socialist George r. Lunn as
governor Of New York state!
"The politicians will answer absurd
That WAS the way they met the cahdi :;
dacy Of DR.. Lunn for the mayor Of
Schenectady. Not one Of them believed
ne could cut any figure in the ballot
until perhaps two weeks before elec-
ton. Our political history has demon
strated that there can never be but two
great parties. II the republicans and
democrats combine they are doing
In some places, to defeat the socialists.
1t makes the socialists one Of those two
great parties.
"As between q combined ola guard
and the socialists. the socialists VIII, in
the end, inevitably win. The only way.
to defeat socialism Is for one Of the
two dominant parties Of today to fear
lessly strike out in the championship
of moral legislation and progr@stve
ideas. The pooling Of the interests Of
the democratic and republican bosses
means the triumph OF socialism

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

Where Is the United States Of Am

declare to the world that a republic

hope is in that egoist and demagos,
Theodore Roosevelt" Historically
breaks out the Burlington Gazette?
The Tama News considers 1T Is a
strange thing that a girl will rush in
and marry 3 man whom two or three
other have married before and dis
carded. They would not think Of pick

SHEEP-A vigorous packing demand
for COCO fat sheep and lambS-enabled
sellers to boost values TO levels even
higher than those noted at the best time
last week The advance was generally
quoted at a dime and applied to sheep
more forcibly than to lambs. owing TO
the larger proportion Of ewes In receipts.
The run was estimated early at over
500 head. but this total was cut down
from time to time because OF delayed and
doubtful delivery due TO the snowstorm.
This phase OF the market was at least
partly responsible for a lively inquiry
and reasonably early clearance.
Business in sheep was featured by sales
OF ewes at s4s. IS. sos and S. 10. prices
that involved good TO choice quality.
The si.e5d6.e ewes were Colorados and
the s. 10 offering consisted Of toppy west
ems from the Scotts Bluff beet field
territory. There were no wethers or year
iings OF consequence on sale.
Really choice lambs were not available
early N the session, but good classes
moved readily at prices that showed some
little Improvement. Attractive fed west
ems brought IS. s5ds.sa indicating quot
able lint of 81 or possibly N.1e. Medium
10 poor lambs were wanted al $50 and
less, the price range amounting to q full
dollar.
feeder branch OF the trade. as the supply
OF thin stock was too limited TO afford
anything like fair test OF values Last
weeks purchase on country account
amounted to less than 1900 head.

new YORK STOCK MARKET
Movement Of Prices Characterized
by Uncertainty.
QUOTATIONS cRUMBLE LATE
Attempts Made In Early Hosrs of
Trading to Advance Some of
Leading CoaIers-BulIs Fail
to Win Support.

NEW YORK, March 1.-The movement
OF stocks today was characterized BY I'M
certainty during the greater part OF the
session, but in the final dealings prices
crumbled all around. with quotations not
only at the lowest. but generally under
Saturdays low Level. In the early hours
OF trading attempts were made TO adj
vance some OF the leading coalers under
the lead of Lehigh Valley & Reading and
number OF the more obscure issues also
made material gains. but the movement
was so evidently OF speculative origin
that II failed to attract any outside sup
port.
In point OF fact there appeared TO be
little on which to build the early rise.
Ffeign exchanges seemed TO reflect In
creased apprehension over the labor sit
uation, and the United States supreme
court, holding its weekly open session.
adjourned for, an hour just before the
market closed. which gave rise 10 the
possibility OF some adverse decisions later
IN the day. contingency which was not
without effect on Reading. whose status
IN relation TO its coal holdings is now
before the court for final adjudication.
Railroad traffic In the west shows some
improvement, but abnormal cold had
caused consider BILE delay IN freight
movement and e fected a resultant in
crease IN the cost OF operations. II is
practically foregone conclusion that
net returns OF all the important roads
In the west, northwest and southwest

will be distinctly Disappointing.

CATTLE-cattle receipts we're con-
siderably larger than a week ago. but
the heavy fall Of snow delayed trains so
that II was very late In the day before
everything was in sight. To make II
still worse wreck on the Union Pacific
al Gilmore held out good deal Of the
stock that would otherwise have been III
the yards in fair season.
| II was a typical snowstorm market.
All the morning there was very heavy
fall Of sticky snow that chung to the cat
tie and made them look about as badly
as possible. Al the same time trains
were so late that there Bas al no time
any great number OF cattle on sale, Thus
taking the late arrival of stock and the
heavy fall Of snow together the market
as a whole was very slow and dull with
prices anywhere from weak TO loo lower
and IN some cases sales looked even
worse than that On the other hand
alteration the amount OF snow and ice
that they were buying the cattle we're In
most cases close to steady. BE that as
| II may advices from other selling points
we're not encouraging and whatever may
have been the weather conditions II ls
safe to assume that the tendency would
have been lower.
The demand for feeders was naturally
very light owing 20 the storm. Country
buyers were few and far between and
spectators did not feel like loading up
! with cattle that were certain TO show a
heavy shrinkage on account OF the
storm. Such cattle as did change hands
looked as much as fo6fsc lower.
