G. p. DENOUNCED.

Des Moines, Iowa, July S.-The
republican party sis now bur
dened with bosses who care nothing
for public honesty or the rights of
the people and use the party to salts
fly their own inordinate greed This
was the declaration of J. M. Dover,
temporary chairman, in the progress
sive state convention here today, dur
ing the course of speech in which
he criticised the administration for
it's foreign and domestic policies and
attacked the republicans. At the
same time he lauded Theodore
Roosevelt declaring the delegates
were met to "give expression to our
abiding faith in his peerless leader
ship"
Chairman Dover condemned what
he called the methods of the courts
of the country, and especially the re-
publican method of interpreting and
ruling on the constitution.
He reiterated former declarations
OF party leaders touching the tariff,
recall of judges, and kindred ques-
tions and predicted that amalgama-
ton of progressives and republicans
would prove impossible.

GREAT GAINS FROM CANAL,
Trade Expansion Enormous, Says
Statistician at Bankers
Convention.

The principal address at the clos
ing session of the Maryland Bankers
Association recently held at Cape
May, N. j., was made by 0. P. Aus
tin, former government statistician
under the administration of McKin-
ley, Roosevelt and Taft, who told of
the tremendous advantages to be de-
rived by this country from the con-
struction of the Panama Canal. He
showed that the total annual worlds
trade was forty billion dollars year,
that is, that the exports of all ma
tions was twenty billion dollars and
the imports, of course, of like
amount, and that one-half of this
moves on the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans. He demonstrated that by
using the canal from the. seaports of
New York, Philadelphia and Balti-
more we would save in miles: to Yo-
kohama, 6,40O miles; to Shanghai,
1900 miles; to Hongkong, $50
miles; to the Philippines, 500 miles;
to Melbourne, $500 miles, and that
American clues we're nearer them
than London, even by the use of the
Suez Canal. The western coast of
South America was, too, from 5000
to 5000 miles nearer London, which
would give us great trade advan-
tage, but he suggested that drum
mers must go after the business and
it will mean two billions more bust
ness year for the United States. He
said that in coal alone we now ex-
port 100000, 900 worth year while
we bring back the amount in value of
raw silks from Japan.

CROPS AND PROSPERITY.

The United States has harvested
or will harvest 5,256, 1000, OOO-more
than five thousand million-bushels
of grain this year. The wheat crop
alone is 930,000,000 bushels, corn
will yield three times as large a
bulk as wheat, and oats, rye and bar
ley follow along in their accustomed
proportions.
Quite as important as the figures
of the crop itself are the statistics
which show the increase over last
year. The wheat crop this season is
the largest on record, surprising the
previous high-water mark by 1877
100000 bushels. The corn yield this
year is 421 100000 bushels greater
than that of last; every one of the
five grains listed shows gain.
With such crop coming to mar
ket, good times are assured. The
Wall street calamity howlers and
their aids are nothing more nor less
than road agents. trying to hold up
the train of prosperity. Under ordi-
nary circumstances, they might have
succeeded, for their power is great;
but they can neither hide nor carry
off such bounties as nature is bestOw-
ing on the nation this year.

STEEL MAKERS OPTIMISTIC.

It is evident that the steel makers,
although naturally high protection
lists, do not share the fear of business
calamity and panic which republican
party leaders are endeavOring to
make an issue in the coming cam
paign.
Recently there was a conference Of
prominent business men in the steel
industry in New York and here are
some of the expressions which they
made regarding the business situa-
ton:
Il have backed up my judgment
that trade is on the mend, that Sep
TENDER will see the beginning of sub
stantial trade expansion, with a pur-
chase of $4,000 tons of basic pig
iron in the last few days. "A. F..
Houston, president of the Luken' s
Iron & Steel Company, Coatsville,
Pa.
"Pessimistic trade sentiment in
the east is the real cause of depres-
sion. 1t is ridiculously absurd, for
fundamental conditions are excellent
and all the legislation or legislative
threats in the world can not over
come that fact. Midsummer or early
fall will witness the beginning of a
remarkable and inevitable trade eA-
pansion."-W. F. Thomas, president
of the Briar Hill Steel Company,
Youngstown, Ohio.
''The United States is bound to
prosper. If we are careful of our
business and husband our resources,
if we have courage and persistence,
we will come out all right. l said
six months ago, that in my opinion,
we were approaching the door Of
prosperity. Do not forget that we
are six months nearer to that door"
Judge Ebert H. Gary; chairman
of board, United States Steel Corpor-
alton.

AN INCOME-TAX FA!I.I,RE.

The treasury report of income-taX
payments for ten months in 1913,
due June 80, amounting only to $685.
100000, reveals still another short
age. Assessments were tabulated on
June IA at $30,750, 1000. These
figures compare was forecast last
September by Representative Hull of
$82,OO0,000 and a carefully consid-
cred estimate by the treasury depart
ment later on of $54 100000 Con-
siderably more than one-fourth of
the tax paid on individual incomes
was received from the district in
New York City lying south of Four
teenth street.
1t is plain enough that in most
parts of the United States this levy
has been practically ignored. Atten-
tiOn has been paid to it in the great
centers of population where news
papers were diligent in making pub
LEGATION of the details and the obliga-
tiOns of the new law, bat in the coun-
try at large it has received almost no
attention.
Thus New York City as a whole
pays more than one-third of the tax,
an amount in excess of $11, 900, 900,
while Philadelphia pays 100000,
Chicago $1,900,000 and Boston ST.
100000 In many of the districts
embracing highly important cities
the sums are so insignificant as to
appear ridiculous.
The first income tax in this coun-
try, levied in 1853, yielded in 1866
more than $4,000, 700, but that i'm
most comnrehanded all incomes in ex-
cess of 5000. 1t was also war tax.
1t is possible that the practical fail
ure Of the new levy is due to an I'M
wise attempt to reach only a part of
she people? If so. how are we to ac-
count for the splendid showing made
in New York?-New York World
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1914-07-16

A record corn crop is in sight. This
fact alone spells the finish of the
fake efforts of the republican par
tisans to spread a feeling of panic
through the commerce of the land.
The big crop means fat cattle and
hogs, and fat cattle and hogs means
millions in cash in the pockets of
the farmers. Ample cash in the
pockets of the farmers means liberal
buying from the merchants. Liberal
buying from the merchants means
heavy ordering by the merchants
from the the jobbing houses. Heavy
ordering from the jobbing houses
means big contracts placed with the
manufacturers by the jobbing
houses Big contracts placed with
the manufacturers mean full time
plant operation. Banks, railways,
labor, builders and the professions
share. Nothing can stop the logical
results of good corn crop.

THE WRITING ON THE WALL.

The vote cast for Albert B. Cum
minis for the republican nomination
for United States senator was co.
622; for A. c. Savage for the same
Office, 49,655-approximately So
600. The total vote was thus 140,-
FIT, or about 76 per cent of the vote
cast for George Clarke, republican,
for governor in November, 1912. The
Clarke vote was 1S4,14S. A primary
which brings out rs per cent of the
party strength is not, by any con-
struction, lightly attended pri-
mary
OF the vote cast CumminS got ap-
proximately IS per cent and Savage
35 per cent If each had polled the
same percentage of the party vote
not cast in the primary, Cummins'
total would be 1878 and Savage
65,OO9.
i The primary furnishes the first
definite line on the strength and the
weakness of Senator Cummins in the
republican party. He is 191, 900
strong enough by $4,000 votes, to be
returned to the senate in November.
Everybody in Iowa knows that
practically every vote cast against
Cummins in the June primary will be
cast against him in the November
election Everybody knows that the
$4,000 votes for Savage expressed
hatred personal and implacable of
the senior Iowa senator. Everybody
knows that the primary fight against
him was undertaken with no hope
of defeating him, but with the cool,
calculated and determined purpose
of making him answer once more to
the standing indictment of his re-
publicanism and showing that he
does not reflect in his course the SEN
timent of the $4,000 republicans for
principle in Iowa. Everybody knows
that every one of the $4,000 men
who went into the booth to cast his
ballot for Savage did so in the face
of assured defeat and as duty he
felt he owed his conscience.
Add to the S2,449 votes cast for
Dunn, democrat, for governor, in
1912, grant the assured fact that
Connolly will poll as many democrat
is votes as Dunn, and the vote of
Connolly for senator will be 232,449.
Whittle it down at your pleasure
keeping within the bounds of plausi-
bility-give Connolly only 10000 Of
the $4,000 and Cummins the other
$4,000 and still would Connolly have
10000 and Cummins only 144 900.
Give Cummins 10000 of the $4,000
progressive vost cast for Stevens,
progressive, for governor, in 1912,
leaving Schenk, progressive for SEN
ator, with only $4,000 votes and still
would C,,nminS havo On1v ia OO0
$4,000 votes less than Connolly.
Shift the figures as one will, the
fact stands prominently forth that
the bull moose scism and the $4,000
anti-Cummins republican votes make
sure beyond the peradventure of
doubt the election of Maurice Con-
molly as United States senator

Republican Split in Vermont
Widens,' reads the headline of an
article, which goes on to say that the
G.. o. P. is torn wide open by inter-
nal dissensions and that the progress
gives are hoping to carry the state
this fall. 1t will be recalled that
Vermont was one of the two states
that cast their electoral vote for
Taft in 1912. Now it is getting
wabbly. Well, Utah still stands

Music of the Chinese.

Chinese music does not entirely lack
admirers among occidentals. There
are, 1t appears, trained musicians of
our own kind who seriously profess
uncertainty whether the Chinese have
not really advanced beyond us in mu-
sic.
One authority has pointed out that
the Chinese were the first in the his
tory of music to develop a system of
octaves, a circle of fifths and various
other harmonical technics, and these
in the days when our ancestors had
not even evolved the simplest forms
of melody. While no one has, appar-
emily, contended that we shall finally
arrive at an understanding of and
liking for something that shall ap-
proach the Chinese harmonious dis.
cords" there are not wanting those
who claim to have discovered among
the musicians and lovers of music
steadily increasing sensitiveness to
harmonies the existence of which was
formerly unknown.

Aldeburgh, which today holds its
feast OF sprats, has run considerable
risk in recent years of providing a
feast for the sprats themselves. Fierce
gales in the eighties and nineties did
very great damage, and almost com.
pleted the ruin begun by the sea THAI
swallowed up ancient Dunwich. Al
one time the land went a quarter Of a
mile farther out to sea and an old
map preserved in the venerable Moot
hall shows that the church had at least
ten times more land toward the sea
than 1t has now. The market place
and the cross are among the trifies
which the sea has stolen, while in 1899
eleven houses disappeared. The arms
OF the borough were, selected with
some sense OF humor-"A ship in the
waves Of the sea, all sayles bearinge.'
