GREETED BY IMMENSE CROWD.
Distinguished Catholic PreIate, Arch
bishop keane Delivers
Mastery Lecture.

Archbishop James j. Keane of the
diocese of Dubuque has every reason
to feel highly complimented in the
magnificent reception given him on
the occasion of his first official visit
to DEBORAH, when he appeared be-
fore the audience which packed the
Grand opera house on Sunday even
ing, standing room being at a pre-
MUM and many being turned away.
The audience represented practic-
ally every class. every denomination,
every nationality in the city. 1t was
a greeting expressing in a marked
degree the recognition on the part of
the people OF the prominence, the
we'll known ability and the dignity
of the distinguished visitor.
Archbishop Keane delivered his
famous lecture upon THE Divinity
of Christ" 1t was mastery effort,
great lecture, discussion of the
cid, yet ever new subject, always the
most important and uppermost in
the minds and hearts Of the people
of the world. 1t was clear, digni-
fed, able presentation of the conclu-
sions reached from years of study
and discussion, and was listened to
with great pleasure and with rapt
attention by the immense audience.
On Monday morning Archbishop
Keane confirmed a class of sixty
children at st. Benedict's Catholic
church for the local parish, and also
class of thirty-eight from the Bluff
ton church, who drove here so as to
save him a trip to Bluffton.

WHERE IOWA LEADS.

Some new statistics have just been
made available which ought 10 prove
of interest to the boomers and to all
others. During the past ten years
the average of Iowa farm land values
has increased something better than
S46 per acre, which is better than
100 per cent. There is little profit
in filing an article with figures, as
the dear reader simply will not read
statistics. And he is not to be blam-
cd For after all, mass of statistics
is valuable only for what it will
prove
But these few figures ought to be
interesting to all Iowans. There are
the Iowans who want to make money
fast. They do not believe that Iowa
is moving alcng. But the fact is that
the advance in the price of farming
land, the actual advance, has been
higher per acre, right here in Iowa,
than in any other state in the Union.
And really now, something over
100 per cent in ten years ought to
satisfy the average of the men who
desire to get rich quick. That is
something better than ten per cent
year on the investment, and, be-
sides, the skillful farmer makes a
very handsome profit on the land
year after year.
The men who are trying to boom
Iowa do not seem to get at some of
the main facts, and they seem in
clined to put no stress whatever upon
the agricultural situation. They are
harping on factories. No doubt, fac
tories will be an elegant thing when
we get them. And all parts of the
state have been hard at work trying
to get factories. But there is moth
ing in the manufacturing line that
offers bigger and surer returns than
the soil of Iowa. Leading all others
in the increase in the value of her
farm lands, Iowa seems the one state
that in case of pinch will manage
to survive, even if she does not be-
come the great manufacturing state
CT the northwest.
She leads absolutely in the surest
and the best source of wealth.

Sing Oratorio at Spring Grove.

Quite number went up to Spring
Grove from DEBORAH on Saturday, to
assist in the rendition of the oratorio
Creation, which was given there
that night and Sunday afternoon,
under the direction of Prof. Sperati
Rev. o. j. Kvale of Orfordville, Wis
sang the tenor solos, Miss Margretha
Marston the soprano and Mr.. F. M.
Marston the bass, the chorus also
being accompanied by an orchestra
of thirteen, DEBORAH men and Luther
College students. 1t was a great
event for the people of that vicinity,
and will probably be repeated on
June 18th, during the Spring Grove
Hallingstevne.

More Farmers Needed.

A Missouri exchange remarks that,
IF we keep on teaching every girl
/ to thump piano and every boy to
keep books, we shall by and by make
potatoes worth IS per barrel" The
inference is that we are liable to
have too many bookkeepers and too
many society buds, and not enough
practically educated men and women
We need more farmers than we need
bookkeepers. We need more home
makers, or housekeepers, than we
need girls who are nothing but piano
players. Our girls should be accom-
plished in every thing that makes
home attractive, and that includes
music; but the woman who has no
knowledge Of how to run kitchen
is just as deficient in the qualities
that make an all around home-keep-
er as is the woman who knows moth
ing but drudgery. Happily domestic
service schools are doing great deal
TO make young women true home
makers, just as OR agricultural col
leges, and coordinate institutions
are encouraging young men to be-
come scientific farmers-the kind
that know how to raise potatoes.

INDUSTRIAL NEEDS OF IOWA.
Head of State Manufacturers Urges
Enactment of New Laws.

B. ]. Kicker, president of the
Iowa State Manufacturers Associa
ton, in his annual report recon-
mends that the association urge the
legislature to enact:
A state law establishing industrial
schools.
A state law fixing a just and rea-
sonable compensation for injury.
A revision of the present tax sys-
tenn.
A law making the Iowa distance
tariff more elastic.
A law which would create c"nfd-
ence in Iowa factories by prohibiting
certain promotion schemes.
Mr.. Kicker says that Iowa has been
known as an agricultural state We
have been investing too exclusively
for agriculture, and have lost sight
of the manufacturers. What Iowa
most needs is an awakening to the
demands Of her industrial develop
ments. She needs industrial educa-
ton. We also need some law which
would regulate the selling of stocks
and bonds other than those of. boni-
fide concerns. Prof J. f. Brindley
of Ames, noted tax expert, spoke on
the subject of tax reform. He said
the question of taxation" is the
most important before the people of
today. The expenditures of the
state he averred had increased from
SIS, 100000 in 1890 to S31,500,00O
in 1911. and his recommendation
that a permanent tax commission be
established. met with the universal
approval of his hearers. His state
ment that for every dollar spent by
the state, eleven or twelve are spent
at home by school boards. townships,
counties and cities, emphasizing his
statement that tax reform should be-
gin at home. There were in attend
Iance at this convention nearly 500 of
the manufacturers Of Iowa, and the
earnestness with which these men
are studying industrial conditions,
leads US TO believe that Iowa is maxi
ing rapid strides in her manufacture
ing.

ROOSEVELT ON CUNDIINS, NOW
AND IN 1908.

We are assured that Col Roose-
welt regards Senator Cummins as a
reactionary, whatever that may mean
to the scheming politician. Mr.. Cum
Minis, In the senate, declared against
the recall of judges and judicial de-
cisions, as that is now preached, and
Immediately the colonel classed the
Iowan as a reactionary All this is
amusing to some lookers-on. Col
Roosevelt has stolen the whole pro-
gresslye movement and he has
thrown IT'S leaders, like La Toilette
and Cummins, in the discard and he
is now busily engaged in speaking of
I'VE progressives. The humiliation
of such men as Cummins and La Fol-
lette, it would seem, could no. go
farther. They have been kicked out
of their own organization and not
only kicked out, but spat upon. The
men who thought they were the most
progressive in the country are now
styled reactionaries by the impetuous
and strenuous man whom Col. Wat
terson has named a paranoiac, and
who is more mildly called a neurotic.
And this reminds us of an incident
OF four years ago, when Roosevelt
was trying TO land Iaft In the preSl-
dency. He sent for a certain Iowa
man to line up this state. The colonel
did the talking. He told the Iowa
man that they-he and Taft-would
look to the Allison men in Iowa, that
is, the conservative faction, for help:
that what they expected from Iowa
they would have to get through the
Allison faction. He said they had
nothing to hope for from the Cum
Minis faction. He said that the Cum.
Minis progressives were disturbers OF
the national peace and prosperity.
He denounced the progressives with
all the vehemence he could command
as charlatans and of Mr.. Cummns
.lmselt he said that he was a --
the word, as it was brought back
from Washington, cannot be printed
in family newspaper, or in a news
paper that has to go through the
mails.
But now the man who then damn
ed the progressiyes in Iowa speaks
of himself as I'VE progressves" and
he has taken Mr.. Cummins and
thrown him bodily into the discard.

Curiosity Without Enthusiasm.

When Frank P. Morse was manag-
ing the publicity work for the Wom-
ems. Titanic memorial last summer he
visited New York for the purpose Of
getting newspaper editors to run edi-
torials praising the undertaking.
Whenever Morse gets on JOB Of this
sort he has double barreled ut of ILL
ness, the two ailments which try TO
destroy him being enthusiasm and
loquacity. He blew into the ONCE Of
one editor and showed out this broad
side: TIL, %,3s.
Nov, look here, colonel, this il :

you to run an editorial saying that It
should be crowned with success In

asked to contribute half million dol
lars to build a great memorial arch
Z to the heroic men who died on the II
tanic to save the women and children.
They died noble deaths. This Is q
noble thing. Will you help us?"
The editor, who was rather on in
years and fond of smoking cigars, blew
out pun of smoke, looked at Morse
in bored manner, and asked:
Where did you say these fellows
died?"' Y
Whereupon Mr. Morse, talking to
himself in a hurried manner and cur

PARTIAL DISSOLUTION OF

Washington, Dec. 4.-1n an opinion
announced BY Justice Day Monday
the Supreme court held that the
Union Pacific Railroad company, by
the acquisition of stock In the South

Justice Day in part said:

chase were competitors engaged in

Carnegie Foundation Requirements Are

az Question Puts New Light
on the Boards Action.

Des Moines.-An entirely new ele-
ment has been injected into the Iowa
state school problem by the report
that President John G. Bowman OF
the state university and President r.
"A. Pearson of the agricultural college
have gone to New York City on 3
joint mission to see DR.. Henry S.
Pritchett, president of the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement of
Teaching.
Their mission is said to be the ad-
mission Of the two state schools to
the benefits of the Carnegie pensions,
which is reported to depend upon the
successful carrying out of the state
board Of education's plan of consoii-
dalton. 15 A 4.
1t was unofficially stated two years
ago, when a determined effort was
made to bring the professors at Iowa
City and Ames under the benefits OF
the foundation, that the Carnegie
foundation had served an ultimatum
upon the state board of education
that neither school would be admitted
until some plan Of coordination was
effected which would eliminate dupli
cation of work.
II It develops that the Carnegie
foundation Is behind coordination,
different turn will be put upon the
present tangle, and it is difficult tt
foresee what the developments of thu
present week will lead to. Some are
inclined to believe that it will aid the
project in the legislature. while 9th
ers believe that If the steel philanth
ropist is mixed up-in the matter IL
any way it will kill the proposition o
the board of education.
