According to gossip in Wall street,
optimism as to the fall outlook prevails
among business men. If that is the
condition in the east. where there has
been an air OF depression ali summer
especially among manufacturers and
allied interests-then the prospects for
the whole country justify hopeful
spirit. For in the west with its big
crops there Is every reason to expect
great commercial activity: and IL
there is sufficiency of mobile cap
ital continued activity in building OPP
erations may be expected. After a
wide canvass Of merchants and man
ufActurers the Journal of Commerce
finds that they are experiencing an
abundance Of orders larger than for a
long period. The enactment Of the tar
iff bill, which is in sight, appears to be
the marking point for good advance
in business activity. Moderate con-
servatism is expressed. but the prepon
derating belief seems to be that the
tariff bill rates are no: destructive. and
that American plants. labor, and meth
DDS have been developed to an eff
cheney that makes foreign rivalry not
to be greatly feared.
HOW TO WIN PROGRESSINES.
(Webster City Freeman Tribune.1
The republican party need not con-
Germ itself about the eet-together pro-
gram of anybody If il will only do the
right things. But it must make sweep
ing changes in methods and procedures
OF party management and control.
Among the things that must be done Is
a Encouragement Of the basis Of rep
presentation. 1t can not regain the
support it lost last year unless 1t re-
sorts to the square deal in apportion-
ing delegates. There is no defense
of plan that gives one republican In
Georgia as much power in the coun-
ellis Of the party as ten republicans In
Iowa can WELD. Members Of the ma
ticnal committee must also be chosen
by primary and they must take their
places Immediately upon the assem-
bling of the national convention that is
to nominate the president. The dele
gates must be selected at prim aries
and the names of the candidates for
president must go upon the ticket with
the delegates and the presidential can
didate who gets the larger number OF
votes in any state or district must get
the support Of the delegates from that
state or district. With these changes
the party machinery will be in the
hands of men chosen by the rank and
file of the party and will therefore be
obedient to the wishes of the rank
and file. With these new departures In
operation ninety per cent of the voters
who left the party last year upon the
theft OF the nomination will be back
in camp.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES

| The Davenport Times thinks that
there are women in the state who are
| competent 10 serve in this position,
| (board of controD, women Of broad
outlook on life, women with business
experience and with special training
fitting them for the work The fedora
ton will have no difficulty in making
suggestions to the governor"
The Cedar Rapids Gazette says that
THE Iowa League of Municipalities
went on record as favoring home rule
for cities And that is a reminder of
the fact that the last legislature tried
to inf1ict public utilities law of ques-
tionable character upon Iowa munich
palities. Presumably the effort will be
repeated at the next meeting of the
general assembly. Iowa cities should
prepare to make another fight to retain
home rule"
Democratic defense from the Burling-
ton Gazette reads, "a caucus as the
democrats have which accomplishes
good, redeems the pledges of the party
and brings relief to the people whose
interests in the past have been entirely
overlooked rs to be applauded in COM
parison with the republican caucus.
which was machine only for special
privileges
The Dubuque Telegraph Herald thus
defends fraternities saying 1.-The right
to wear a sorority or fraternity badge
in school should be as freely conceded
as the right to wear a green ribbon on
ST Patrick's day"
Commenting upon Senator Cummins
return in good health the Des Moines
Tribune say "He has never come back
from Washington looking more fit than
he does at present. The senator as
sures his frienIs that he is in fact in
much better health than he was few
years ago"

DEMOCRATS FOR SENATOR.


There is every indication there Will
be a lively scramble in Iowa next year
among the democrats for the nomina-
ton for United States senator. Claude
Porter has been brought out by the
Burlington Gazette, no doubt with the
consent of Mr. Porter. Congressman
Pepper is expected home in couple
Of weeks, and it is said he VIII decide
at that time whether he will be can
didate 1t is anticipated his decision
will be that he will be. And there are
several others who are being mentioned
in connection with candidacy for the
nomination. The distribution of federal
patronage under the Wilson admin
stration is responsible for the rivalry
that has sprung up and the people are
practically assured Of pretty fish-.

ROASTING THE COMMISSION.
ICedar Ranids RenuhlicanSl


Nor does the railroad commission
need any more drastic authority. Mr..
Thorne has about as much authority
now as he can carry around with him
safely. If the railroad commission
would make a few recommendations to
some of the Iowa roads that have not
kept up their branch lines. the roads,
we are inclined to believe, will not dis
regard the suggestions.
But, as a matter of fact. the people
are not relying as much on official ac-
tons as the officials in the state house
think The people are able to look
after some matters for themselves. The
public sentiment that has been aroused
along the DEBORAH line for instance, in
which the newspapers have rendered
some service, will bring the Rock Island
to action quicker than q dozen tours
of Official inspection" Official tours"
are joke, most Of the time and nearly
everywhere. Public sentiment may
safely be substituted for most Of the
commissions that are now drawing
salaries.

SLAUGHTER HOUSE CLEAN
HEALTH COMMITTEE SATISFIED
AFTER VISIT OF INSPECTION
MUCH CREDIT DUE.

That the slaughter house and pens now
are in good condition was the verdict
passed this morning by the committee.
after an inspection of this highly i'm
pOrtant source Of the city'S meat supply.
The u~nsanitary condition Of the
slaughter house has been the burden of
many complaints and has caused the la
dies of the Civic League much thought.
They have called the attention of the city
dads. time and again, to the filthy c0ndi-
tions there existing.
The result Of their good work was
shown this morning when the committee.
and Il representative Of The Herald took
James Brownies auto.
The only thing that seemed lacking
was the fact that the attendants do not
use as much water as they should III
cleaning and keeping clean the walls and
floors of til eslaughter house. The Mex
lean in charge was promptly Informed
that he must use the hose and use il af-
ter every delivery of meat was made. If
this is attended to. the slaughter house
will compar favorably with that Of any
city in the state Of twice the population.
The flies have been screened out and
the drainage has been carried at least a
hundred and fifty feet away, 50 that the
flies from the cess pool do not get back
TO the slaughter house.
The walls have been painted and white
washed. The water has been bright right
into the house and two faucets prOvid-
ed. Hose is there for the use Of the
cleaners and the whole, while not 4 par

bemade. The ladies Of the Civic League.
who have been anxious to see these i'm
proycments made, may rest assured that
irir efforts were not in vain and that
they will find 4 very different slaughter
ouSc the next time they visit it.
The practice of Keeping sheep and cat
Il IN the pens for days without water
has been discontinued through the active
efforts Of Chairman Kirk Of the health
committee, and none are killed without
inspection. The inspector is authorized
TO stop the killing Of any animal that is
found not fit for food. and if he does not
do this. the matter Will be closely looked
into and reported, according to the state
mcnt of the chairman Of the committee
A few little changes were noted rs ne
ccSSarv today. but on the whole. the cam
paign made by the ladies and the health
committee has been successful.

A BUMPER CROP
LARGE QUANTITIES OF CORN
BEATS ILLINOIS. CORN STATE.

The farmers i'm the vicinity of san Ben
ito are this year raising the bumper crop
Of corn Of several years. a gentleman
from san Benito who il in the city today
states that ut least $4,000 bushels OF
shelled corn have been SHIPPED from san
Bcnito 50 far this season. According to
the informant. the farmers in the district
are very much elated over the corn crop
and hope to be able to cover any short
ace which may occur din the cotton.
Farmers from Illinois say that the
present corn crop in the Valley is better
than anything they ever saw in their
own state. which is one Of the greatest
corn states in the union. As this has
been a hard year for corn in the north
crn and central states. the San Bcnito
farmers are expecting the price of corn
to be better than in several years.

STORM SEWER
RAPIDLY BECOMING CLOGGED
WITH MUD AND TRASll-MAA
CAUSE SERIOUS SITUATION.

\ gentleman who is familiar with such
matters has called the attention Of a
Herald reporter to the fact that the city
STERN sewer was rapidly becoming worth
less ON account of the washing Of mud
through the MAJ holes in certain sec
tons of the town. 1t appears that IRE
hose has been used to clean the cutters
and as the openings in the m%anholcS are
very large. not only the water goes
through the sewer, but that mud, and
trash bid fair to soon dam the flow OF
the pipes.
1t is claimed that at this season of the
wear there is a great dcalof tar from the
paving blocks which mingles with the
mud and is washed into the we where
it congealS and prevents the unintcrrupt-
cd flow of the drainage waters.

PICKED UP AT RINGSIDE OF NELSON=WHITNEY GO

of forcing the -hghting from the
very beginning In the last three
rounds the erstwhile lightweight
champion was on his opponent
every minute of the time he was
permitted to miXait. Several times
Nelson was so engrossed in his
work that he failed to hear the bell.
TO the casual observer 1t looked
like a good draw for certainly
Nelson should have had due credit
for carrying the fight to his op-
ponent. Whitney doubtless was
there with the points and he piled
them up consistently in the earlier
rounds. But as the mill wore on
the Battler g0t.' stronger and
stronger, rushed more and landed
harder His work was not fiashy
in any sense Of tho word, but he got
to Whitneys stomach in the last
two or three rounds with steady
tattoo of short wicked jabs that
made the shifty carpenter lose his
smile and worried him not a little.

IN that Atlanta needs, first of all,
a referee with real experience in
the ring. who is not obsessed with
the idea that he is one of the fight

OF men already versed in the art
of playing the national game as
conducted under the training Of
Coach Heisman. there are quite
number. The men whose places
were left vacant this year are the
Holland boys, the peerless Harry,
who held down third. and his
brother. Sid, who offlciated around
the second sack; the speedy out
fielder and captain of last years
team, Carl Sloan, and the "old re-

Montague, last years catcher and
captain, of the team this year, will
probably shift to the middle gar
den to fill Sloans place, and let

out for the backstops job. Fielder,
who made such a splendid record
on the football field, is again play
ing short, which position he star
ed off with last year.
