who were intimate with the men who
made the paper a decade ago. The
death Of VIII Young accentuates that
feeling. Fred Faulkes went Miller

Holmes left the newspaper work for a
commercial club secretaryship and now
Young has departed on the last as
signment that comes to any of u.s.
The Gazette is great newspaper
good men are conducting it, but there
IS 2 sense Of large loss among those
of US who head in to the Gazette when
in Cedar Rapids to meet the most
whole -souled and kindliest friends. Not
that the newer men are not friendly
and good fellows but that the old ones
are gone. the old familiar faces that
shone behind desks and smiled up in
sincere and jovial greeting.
The Gazette will go on just the same
with these gone. no man is necessary to
the continued growth of a newspaper,
however capable he may be. Those who
stand ready are strong and able and
willing as those who have written their

and around corners When driving be-
side a street car, stop when the car
stops. That is a rule most frequently
broken, yet most inpoT tan:. Stepping
from a street car in front Of an auto
mobile Is a fruitful source Of accidents.
The preventive lies almost wholly with

With the shackles thrown off and
Iowa given o square deal with the rest
of the states in the way of freight rates,
general business in this state ought to
take on new vim. Unquestionably Iowa
has been handicapped over Illinois,
Ohio, Indiana and Michigan in freight
rates. Most of the states mentioned
have not only enjoyed lower freight
classification, but has been favored
with water rates. in season.
The recent victory for Iowa. In all
classifcations, in an order handed
down by the interstate commerce COM
mission, after a battle lasting many
months. making an average less cost
of freight of large proportions, will
advantage manufacturers greatly-and
it will be, in this day of close figuring.
Of great benefit. The reduction Is the
most sweeping ever granted to any
state for the reason that Iowa was
burdened with very unreasonable rates.
by comparison. The exorbitant rates
made sweeping reductions necessary
and they prove the disadvantage at
which Iowa has been working. In
many cases the reduction runs as high
as 33 per cent.
A great many people have persisted
in the belief that the loss Of population
in Iowa was mainly due to the excess
sive freight rates, holding that fair
rates would give impetus to all lines
of industry and open up Iowa as a
field for manufacturing. And now that
the hobbies have been removed Iowa
Is presented with an opport unity to
revolutionize general business. We
may look for a new era with hope and
confidence.
