CONGRESSMAN IN SUSPEND.
ERS,

The Aherometer is accomplishing
more than public sentiment ever car
III bringing to close the sessions O,
Congress. The report is finding its
way into the newspapers that Con.
gressmen are removing their coats
legislating in their shirt sleeves, even
with suspenders displayed to the
shocked eyes of the newly wed bride
in the gallery.
One may sympathize with the suf-
ferings of the legislators who reach
the climax of their work in hot city.
One may deplore the tendency to
over formality, by which Our smart
sets impose uncomfortable restric-
tons.
Yet if the visible suspender habit
is permissible in Congress, why not in
the pulpit? Shall the Man of God re-
move the funeral Jim swinger coat
which custom has placed upon his
back, and permit the congregation to
be distracted by the lack of harmony
between his red and green suspenders
and his blue negligee shirt?
1t may be remarked that if the
Congressman had pushed the law
making machine as you would run a
factory, sessions work would have
already been ground out, so that they
could go home. Furthermore. how
long will it be be, in these days of un- |
rest, before our Congressman will be
satisfied with any such comparatively
stand pat position as removing only
heir coats and waistcoats?

Editor Tribune:
In recent issue of your paper yo,

land that is not true. If Mr.. Hannah
did make $3.50 per acre on his land.
doubt very much if it can be done in
Iowa and there is as good blue grass
lands in Iowa as there is in Idaho
and better.
The statement as to the corn crop
in Iowa is not true; the average yield
OF corn in Iowa is so to 60 bushels
pc racre, and for the last six years
the price has been so to 60 cents. It
is now IS cents per bushel.
Why not make comparison of the
taxes in Idaho and Iowa. The taxes
on good farms in Iowa is about 80
cents per acre; in Idaho the taxes are
- to $3.50 per acre and when your
farmers pay s. to $40 per acre for
government water each year for 10
years your boosted land will 70 beg

The statistics give the corn cron q,

per acre. Unfortunately we did not
have the time to get the average
price OF selling. However, we did
obtain an opinion from a man who
spent many years in Iowa and is not

thing. He states that while it is true
that Iowa has as good blue grass pas
ture as Idaho. that the drouehts and

few days, the root system being so
shallow.

given by Dr.. H. D. Hatfield in
connection with the governorship
of the state, which interview is pub

the Bluefeld Daily Telegraph says:
The interview OF DR.. Hatfield has
the right ring to it. If the Repdb-
licans would insure success this fall
they must get through this primary
without becoming embittered and
broken into factions. Men SHOULD
not be urgea!to enter the. prilhary
who are non willing to cneeffniiy

feated candidate is Disappointed

real red-blooded men will accept the
result. gracefully and look to the
future with hope for better results.
They ..will extend to their successful
opponent the same loyal support
they would have earned and OK
pected had the parts been changed!
DR.. Hatfield feels that he does not
want the nomination unless the
well as the leaders, want
him to have it. Such spirit shows
a fidelity to his party that is most
commendable and adds to the en-
thaaiasm of 81 good men in their
support Of him.
