KEoKUK BOYS DEATH
Was Prominent In Business and So
ciaI circles of the City for
a Number Of
Years.

Yesterday afternoon The Gate City
made brief mention of the death or
Charles Hubbard. which occurred at
st. Paul where he had been resident
for number of years. He was well
known here number of years ago
where his mother lived and ne was
reared. He began his bright and sue
cessful business career in keokuk
from which beginning he continued
to rise in the esteem of the mercan-
tile world. when his promising career
was halted and ended by affliction
from rheumatism.
In Keokuk he was prominent in the
business and social circles of the
city. The first that can be particu-
larly remembered OF him was when
he was a popular clerk in the carpet
store of Copeland, located on Sixth
and Main streets. where the State
Central Savings Bank is now located.
This was along in the early seventies
I Afterwards this store was sold out to
{ Charles o. Phelps and removed TO the
rear of Boswick.s dry goods store. the
same as the Masonic building recent
" burned where the new 100000
hotel is to be built.
The next heard OF him he was

gest carpet firms in the United State:

ment out OF salesmen's hands. What
do l meanY Simply this; we are be-
ing dictated toby the salesman who
is often a dealer, aud who buys stock
at less than wholesale prices. You
lend him your good name to do bust
ness on; borrow money from the bank
to finance his business; allow him to
name practically the terms OF con-
tract, even to the price of your stock,
for what? The infinite pleasure of
being his humble and obedient servant
during the life of the contract, and
less than a gamblers chance for the
money he owes you for the stock and
advances. Our good name has been
and is being embezzled by this same
unworthy salesman who cares not a
penny whether you succeed or fail.
I wish every nurseryman in the land
would take solemn oath to wage
united war of determination on this
character of craftsmanship.
1 am confident that many reliable
nurserymen have suffered in the way
here described and the determined
stand of the nurserymen of the
country to control their statesmen or
dismiss the whole lot will bear much
good fruit. Mistakes will happen
with the best Of men and with all the
care possible some of this misfortune
will come to good and reliable
nurserymen. But such wholesale un-
reliability as that mentioned by Mr..
Lesser can not be charged mp to mis-
takes.

scribers sends me an apple for IN

know good deal about apples. L
have an experimental orchard with ~
varieties of apples in it but L must
confess that one of the most difficult
things for me to do is to identify
the apples sent me. There are
number of reasons for this. There is
said to be over 1000 varieties of apples
in cultivation in the United States
and new varieties are added every
year by promising seedlings being
put in the bearing list. [ have never
seen one half of these apples in bear
ing. so how could l be able to name
all the apples grown? No one can do
such a thing. The best informed
man in apple nomenclature [ have
ever known is H. e. VanDeman and
vet have seen him stalled. At the
beginning of the A.-Y.- p. Fair at
Seattle in 1909, VanDeman stayed
over night with me at my home In
Seattle and seeing my copy OF the
"Apples of New York, " he borrowed
the books and kept them locked in
his desk on the fair grounds in order
to consult this famous work in cases
of doubt. Sometimes even then he
was puzzled and in doubt about the
name of some apple. If he could not
name all apples what could |, who
have not had 1.-THE of the experience,
be expected to dor
One thing that makes the naming
of apples difficult is the fact that the

Trees Not True to Name.

In a recent issue of The Ranch
called attention to the good work
being done by H. M. Lichty in show
ing how unreliable some, nurserymen
are in the trees sold to the public.
Some of friend Lichty's statements
are astounding but proof is coming
to hand that verify some of his most
remarkable statements. Oliver Lesser
of Spokane, WASH, sends letter to
this paper under date Of December
10th, from which I make some quota

eff Mr.. Lichty wants any more in
formation than he already has along
this line, will be pleased to furnish
it to him. In 1902 | bought a lot Of
trees tC start a commercial orchard.
I received over 800 apple trees that
we're not true to name in a batch of
twenty-five or twenty three hundred.
And out of 100 pear trees $50 each of

Fall Butter) not one proved true of

Keifers. Of two Bartletts bought for
my family orchard both are Idaho.
Two hundred Wageners were billed
to me but are called by experts Willow
Twigs. Fifty Rawle's Janet were
bought and every one of them false
nothing better than a cider apple.
Four hundred and fifty Red Cheek or
Monmouth Pippins were bought and
not one of them true to name-all
Ortleys or White Bellfower.'
Mr. Lesser does not give the name
of the nurseryman nor his location
but adds this to his statement: eff

that the public will be best served by

letter but lack of space forbids. Mr..
Lesser speaks very highly of the Red
Cheek Pippin, very frequently called
the Monmouth Pippin. I have this
apple growing in my orchard and can
join him in saying it is fine apple
in quality and bears we'll. 1t does
not sell as we'll as it should and
know no reason for this neglect of
this fine apple except its color.
There is cred apple craze" sweeping
over the country and no apple Of
light color will sell as we'll as the red
apple other things being equal We
may say that this ought not to be so
but that will not change the current
OF public opinion. What man must
do commercially is to raise those
apples that the public demands, and
it he does not do it he will suffer
financially.
While we are considering the matter
of unreliable nursery stock, it may be
we'll to mention the fact that many
of the best nurserymen in the country
are aroused on this matter and are
determined to have many Of the
abuses that have crept into the bust
ness corrected and are determined to
have them eliminated. | have lying
before me an address delivered at
the meeting of the Western Nursery
men at Kansas City by j. Il. Mayhem
of Waxahachie, Texas. My friend,
w. p. Stark of Louisiana, Missouri,
sent me this address. l would like
to pu blish this whole address but can
not give up that much space. Mr..
Mayhem shows that much of the bad
reputation given to nurserymen is
owing to the fact that bad and I'M
scrupulous men have been allowed to
act as agents for the nurseries. In
view of this fact Mayhem says:
"We must eliminate the shyster
salesman if he takes with him the
good ones also. We must spy out the
"dead beat" who buys trees wholesale
with no intention of paying for them.
We must take the business manage

When you think of all these as elements of
opposition, you can readily understand why
Roosevelt has beaten Taft so overwhelmingly

EDITORIAL NOTES
BY j. ID. WATSON

THE whole world reads with horror the
minute details of the sinking of the mon
ster vessel, Titanic, as related by rescued mem
bers OF her crew and passengers.
The snuffng out of more than 1900 human
lives IN one accident makes the world stand
aghast at the horror.
And to think that the disaster is one that
could have been avoided makes it all the more
horrlble-to think that if the officers of. the
doomed ship would have needed the wireless
warnings of 'icebergs ahead" there would
have been no dlsasteY-there would not have
been watery graves for more than 1000 per-
sons-there would not have been the heart
broken widows who were happy bEides only a
few hours before-there would not have haei1
orphan children crying for. their lost parents,
But the speed mania of the present day
had to be obeyed regardless of the risk to
human life-the vessel left England With
orders to her captain from her OWNERS % go
out after record" and she made a5Fecord-
she made record for taking human. lives.
What happened to the Titanic is apt to hap
pen to any Of the other big sea palaces built to
accommodate the rich with all Of the luxuries
that they enjoy on land-all Of these huge
ships are built for speed as we'll as for com
tort, and they all race across the Atlantic
at the highest possible speed, trying to get to
the other side IN the fewest hours and minutes
possible-they all take the dangerous northern
'short cut" off the ice bound coast of New
Foundland in their effort to beat tins.
And for this unnecessary risk the travelling
public is partly to blame-it is the pubics
demand for quick trip across the ocean that
makes the steamship company take the risk
it IS the mad rush Of the day and time to get
there as quickly as possible"
The same demand that makes the railroad
run the 60 to 70 mile per hour express.
endangering human life every day, makes the
Steamship company run Titanic, an Olym-
pie, Lusitania, Mauretania, Kaiser. an
Amerika or George Washington every week.
The railroad kills few at the time. and
that IS such usual happening that we pay no
special attention to 1.-THE steamship claims
her big quota at one time and the horror of
the tragedy stands out boldly to awe u.s.
That is the main difference in the rush of
the express and the rush of the steamship.
The express kills more in the long run than
does the Steamship, but the express kills few
at the time
*
AS the government usually does things, so
the government goes about preventing the
wreck of the Titanic-after the damage has
been done-after the great sacrifice of human
life has been made, then the government gets

The government is now investigating the
wreck of the Titsnic--a rigid Investigation
is being conducted by committee from the
Senate, but the only thing that the govern
ment will find out will be the fact that the
Titanic did not carry enough life saving boats
to accommodate half the people on board
something that the entire world knew as soon
as the wireless fash reached the shore-and
something that both this government and the
British government should have known before
the vessel was ever permitted to leave the
other side laden with passengers.
Ii the Titanic had carried enough life boats
to save all on board she would not have had
such spacious deck room, and perhaps she
could not have made such speed.
Of course, the Steamship officials are guilty
and should be punished for this criminal negli-
gence-they should have at least made little
provision for the safety of lives that they
endangered when they speeded the sea mon
ster over the short northern route after a
record, and the governments were guilty of
CRIMINAL negligence when they failed to make
the steamship officials make this provision
Public opinion will make the steamship
companies make more provisions for the
safety of passengers in the future, and it is
pity that public opinion does not yet see what
is needed on the railroads.

They prefer The man who wants the tariff
on farming implements reduced, the cost of
Irving reduced, the burden of government
partly taken from the shoulders of the poor
man and placed on the shoulders of the rich
man, who is able to bear it.
The, farmers and laboring people favor
Underwood because he has passed through the
House Of Representatives tariff measures that
would give them a square deal-tltey want
Underwood because he has remained at his
post of duty in Washington working to give
them laws that would benefit them-they
want Underwood because he has remained at
his post Of duty working for them, instead of
running about the country trying to qc0Th
them.
The people want the man who passed the
Free LAST bill, the man who passed the bill
reducing the tariff on Wool and Sugar, they
want the man who proposes to give them Free
Sugar, and who proposes to levy all income
tax on the rich to make up in revenue to the
government what would be lost by Free Sugar.
