Cattle Market Is Quiet.

There was quite fair supply Of

in values offering and the general

WHERE THE MONEY is.

Advance reports on the income tax
show that Pennsylvania, although it's

the home of Wall street. Also, it is
q place to which men gravitate after
they become very rich. That the

WORKING FOR ANOTHER PANIC.

The belief gains ground in Wall
street that there can be no currency
legislation at this session of congress
and it is said to cause much satisfac-
ton in certain influential quarters
there.
This feeling of satisfaction, We
take it, is reflected in the weakness of
the stock market, in the holding
back of investment funds, in the
heavy decline of bank reserves, and
in the general inability to forecast
the movements of money and the
conditions of it's market.
Uncertainty over currency lcgis-
lation is admittedly great cause of
ahis situation, but is Wall street
satisfied? Does it want the uncer-
tainty prolonged? Does it seek an
extension of the trouble to panic
proportions that it's satisfaction may
be complete?
The country is going to have cur
rency reform sooner or later without
Wall street dictation. Will anybody
sc better satisfied to get it after an
other panic experience like 1907
than to get it without any more pan
les of the kind?-New York World.

WHERE THE FARMER COMES IN.

Hepburn Ind. TO the Star: no
tice you are much elated over the
Wilson Tariff Bill l wish you would
show where it helps the western
farmer. Wool is on the free list but
manufactured wool is still protected,
and it is the same all the way
through. The poor manufacturer is
still protected, but the opulent pro-
Queer can shift for himself.
A. F. AMES.
True, some manufacturers prob
ably are still protected. 1t is diff
rid of abuses that have accumulated
over more than a ha4f century. But
in general the new tariff will be a
competitive tariff. That is, it will
permit foreign goods to compete with
American goods, in many lines where
no competition has been possible be-
fore.
While wool and other farm pro-
ducts have been admitted duty free,
it must be remembered that sugar,
lumber, iron ore, wire nails, barb
wire, shingles, pickets, boots and
shoes, harness, agricultural imple-
ments and many other articles have
been put on the free list also, and
that tremendous reductions have
been made in the duties on WOODEN
and cotton goods, and in fact all
along the line.
The result should be to make in
dustry more efficient than ever, and
to help the consumer-including the
western farmer-by improving the
quality of the material he buys,
even where prices are not reduced.
A stimulus to business is certain to
result from the ending of the cod
ding policy. The greatest era of
industrial expansion in American
history was in the low tariff decade
Immediately preceding the war
In addition there is the moral
phase of the question. The whole
country is better because it has
proved that the general welfare can
be made to prevail over the special
interests. Good citizens generally
must rejoice because of the blow
dealt to government privilege by
the new tariff law.-Kansas City

THE END OF AN ALARM.

In an address at the Lumberman's
Club J. B. White, lumberman and
formerly president of the National
Conservation congress, declared his
belief that there is no need to be
alarmed about the lumber supply.
The forested area he thinks is now
half what it was century ago and
he believes reforestation will finally
balance supply and demand. This is
the opinion to which the country
country seems to be coming, but it
reached that opinion after passing
through period of alarm which was
of undoubted value. The country
was a long while in learning that our
early talk about the nations 'inex-
haustible forests had been the pro-
duct of ignorance and shOrtsighted-
ness. The awakening brought the
scare and, the scare did not abate I'M
til study and experiment had set the
country on the road to intelligent
management of it's forest lands.
Forestry laws have been strengthen
ed, the government has undertaken
the management of millions of acres
of forest lands and has begun replant-
ing vast areas of land fit only for
timber Many of the states have
taken up similar work and the sub
jet of forest fire prevention is at
last getting the attention it has de-
served for years. The panic has end
ed and a systematic fight has begun.

IOWA HAS TOO MANY LAWS.
About One Thousand New Ones IN
the Past Few Years.

We are glad to agree with the dis
tinguished lieutenant governor Oh
of Iowa, Hon. w. l.. Harding, that
the multiplicity of laws is great
strain on the capacity of the people
to respect the statutes. When laws
are as thick as leaves in Vallambrosa
it is not easy to avoid stepping on
them, In recent address Mr.. Hard
ing said that every member of our
thronged legislatures was at liberty
to introduce any measure that MS
fancy dictated. He might have gone
farther and declared that to be popu-
lar with his constituents the member
was expected to introduce bills; II
he didn't he was likely to get In PAD
at the next election. The flood OF
bills produces hasty and Ill consld-
cred legislation. In the last Iowa
assembly between 1900 and l4oo
bills were introduced, requiring each
member to consider twelve to four
teen bills a day, if he considered
them at ALL About four hundred OF
these bills were enacted into law;
six hundred were passed at the two
previous sessions. Within the year
thousand new laws have been pass
ed in Iowa. And yet" said Mr..
Harding, ''if the best lawyer in town
can tell offhand twenty laws that
have been passed in the last six years
he is deserving of chrome. And
what can be expected of the average
citizen?" he asks. Mr. Harding cited
the anti-spitting ordinance as an ex-
ample of the uselessness OF many
laws. Did you ever hear of an ar
rest for splitting on the streets? And
is there a man who hasn't violated it
ten times today" he asked. The
real effect of the law is this: A bank
err, a lawyer and a preacher meet at
Fourth and Pierce streets and strike
I'D conversation. The preacher has
a little cold and pretty soon he
coughs and splits. The lawyer is
chewing tobacco and soon he expec-
torates. Then the banker follows
suit.
"A little boy is standing near them.
On the wall above him is a copy of
the anti-spitting ordinance. These
men have been held up to him as ex-
amples. Then the impression must
be forced on his mind: IF police
man doesn't see you. it's all right to
violate the law.
Mr.. Harding recommended as a
for present conditions small
legislatures and the repeal Of most
of our laws.-Sidney Herald.

THEY MUST PAI-A THRENODI

You see that fellow over there
who's tearing out his silvery hair, a
moving picture of despair and tears
and anguish vain. What is it that
his soul annoys? What is it that's
upset his pose and makes him make
this awful noise and gives him such
a pain? But yesterday he walked
along the pathways of the maddening
throng as merry as zippy song, as
happy as a lark But now he's
shaky at the knees, as sad as prehis-
toric cheese, as doleful as the G. O.
P.'s, as restless as shark. OF
course he has his bonds and stocks
and acres fat and herds and flocks
and limousines and cuckoo clocks,
mayhap a butler, too. And dividends
come tumbling in as furious as the
wage Of sin, with just about that
kind of grin, but just the same he's
blue. From us the thought is most
remote to chortle at the man or
gloat because at last they've got his
goat and led it to their lair. Our
simple duty is to show the cause of
this unseemly woe that's plunged
him to the depths below and firmly
holds him there.
Well then, this erstwhile jolly
chap whom fortune handled on her
lap, and fed the choicest of her pap
and soothed his one-inch broW-this
chap who never paid cent for what
he got or where he went, but just
kept gathering in the rent-well,
that's all over now. Your Uncle Sam
has bit his lip and got this fellow on
the hip and with grip he couldn't
slip and Sam would not relax, a IA"

reach the widest of men and take j
portion of their yen-to-wit, the IN

from editors to old John D., whom

and pay the score So let us watch
them as they writhe as Samuel

THE LESSON OF TAMMANY.

The crushing rout of Tammany
hall in New York's municipal cleo
ton fulfills the Journals prediction,
early in the Sulzer impeachment case
that in destroying Sulzer, Tammany
was cutting it's own throat.
No pity need be wasted on the de-
posed governor. He deserved all the
humiliation he has received-and it
may be noted in passing that his
plight does not trouble him as much
as some sensitive souls might expect.
But the SulZer case proved to the
people Of New York that Tammany
was conducting government by black
mail, and American cities are not
corrupt enough to submit to such
rule without protest. .......
The effect of this election on ma
tional politics is not likely to be
great. Tammany has never been an
asset to the national democratic par
ty, and of late years it has been an in
creasing burden. The angry wig
wan may knife democratic congress-
men a year from now; but the newly
elected mayor, John Purroy Mitchell,
is Wilson democrat, and an honor
able, successful administration by
him will do the party more good than
Tammany's anger can do it harm.
The defeat is this greatest of
municipal machines should encour-
age the friends of good government
throughout the land. 1t is not only
in New York that city administration
needs renovating. 1t is not only in
New York that gangs govern by
blackmail, that public contracts are
looked upon as Legitimate private
graft, and that officials who try to
protect the peoples interests are as
sailed by magnates above and petty
grafters below.
If New York can beat Tammany,
other cities can cast out their local
rings and combines.-Chicago Jour-
nal

CALLING THEIR BLUFF.

In an effort to stamp out the up
rising against the present road and
bridge laws of the state the highway
commission has resorted to bluffing.
Members of the commission have had
themselves interviewed" by the
daily press, in which they threaten to
turn on the searchlight" and give
the affairs of these several counties a
good airing. Such action would meet
the approval of all good citizens. If
there rests the slightest suspicion of
wrongdoing in any county it Is the

commission is centering it's attack up
on the board of supervisors and the
county auditor, the bluff doesn't
seem to be working. County Auditor
E. A. Schell, who aside from other
accomplishments must be something
of an orator, has issued the follow
ing challenge, over his own signature
and addressed to the members of the
commission:
"Gentlemen:-ln reply to your UNI

1.-The reason that Iowa almost in

the wonderful fertility of it's soil"

ADMITS AN
UNTRUTH
Dubois pons Fighting Clothes and
Camps on Trail Of Washington
Man.

Washington, June 13-Rather than
engage in personal encounter with
ex-senator Fred Dubois OF Idaho Sen.
ator Poindexter yesterday went be-
fore the lobby investigating committee
and publicly retracted charges made
last week that Dubois was a lobbyist.
When Poindexter's charge was
brought to the attention of Dubois he
camped on Poindexter's trail and fin.
ally found him night before last. He
accused Poindexter Of deliberately ly.
ing about him and demanded of Poin.
dexter whether he knew personally
that he (Dubois) was a lobbyist. Not
only did Poindexter admit that he
knew no such thing, but said he had
no proof OF his charge and had based
It merely on hearsay.
Dubois then told Poindexter In pain.
fully plain language that he had stat.
ed before the committee something
that was untrue. and told him 1t was
up to him to publicly retract.
Poindexter sought to get off by tell.
ing Dubois that he could when sum-
moned to tell the committee he was
not lobbyist and could prove that
Poindexter's charge was unfounded
and that would clear up every thing.
That was not satisfactory to Dubois.
He said he would not go before the
committee to do any such thing but
that Poindexter having made the
charge could 60 back and publicly re-
tract what he had said and explain
that he did not know what he was
talking about when he accused Dubois
Of lobbying, "and remember" said Du.
bois, I'VE have al way of handling men
out our way who make practice of
lying about others. You retract what
YOU said about me or I'll hold you per-
sonally accountable"
