Coke is manufactured in Kentucky
from coal mined in both the eastern

but although the Goals Of the eastern
counties are in large part among the
high-grade coking Goals Of the Appala-

last two years, has been made In the
western district, which is part of the
Illinois-Indiana field. Since the recent
extensive coaE-mining developments in

Ian counties, however, coke ovens
have been built and the principal cox

THE SHADES.


This tree, which stands with arms
outspread,
With leaves like fingers tremulous
To seize all GOODNESS overhead
And softly watt 1t down to us.
This tree-it means hundred years
OF rain and sun, OF drouth and dew
Before this shade, which rests and
cheers,
Into today's perfection grew.
Some kindly one-forgotten now
May thoughtfully have placed the
seed,
Foreseeing that each reaching Dough
Would satisfy worn ones need.
Whoe'er he was, that unknown one,
Who set the seed, or sproutlet slim,
He knew not that he had begun
What stand monument to him.
The trees-the kindly trees-that
blaze
with springs green flame or aut-
umn's blush,
The sentry fires that line the ways
Into the woodlands peaceful hush
Through all the years they slowly
grow
Until they shield the lowered sod:
The trees-the kindly trees-that
show
The patient thoroughness OF God
This tree. which stands with arms
opltspread,
Seems to pronounce, while standing
thus,
"A blessing, and to gently shed
A benediction over us.
The sunlight shuttles through the
leaves
With threads Of gold that flash and
play,
Across the warp Of shade IT weaves
The mingled fabric OF the day.

and believe that the county jail
should be used only as place Of de
tention for persons awaiting trial and
petty offenders: that as a substitute
for the present jail system there
should be established custodial farms
80 located az to best accommodate the
various sections Of the state WITH a
sufficient number OF industries to no.
vide productive employment for all
persons confined at said institutions.
We express our confidence in our
public school system. and in the con.
much to solve the great problems OF
modern education.
We commend the legislature for
submitting to the voters Of Iowa an
amendment giving to women Of the
state an equal right Of suffrage, and
We further urge the next legislature
to take the necessary steps to secure
submission of the question to the
vote Of the people.
Initiative and Referendum.
We believe that free government
is government Of the people, and
therefore we believe that the people
should have the right under their
state constitution, and under proper
safeguards, to initiate and adopt both
legislation and amendments to their
constitution and to review through the
referendum the work Of their legis-
lators.
We recommend that such legislation
be enacted that will preserve and
protect the lakes of Iowa.
We approve Of the present law en-
acted for the protection of children
from the burdens of labor, and urge
the adoption of national law, elm
mating the employment of children
in Industrial and commercial pursuits.
We believe that the greatest prob
lem OF internal improvement before
this state today is the building OF
better roads and that our road laws
should be so further amended as to
permit the several counties to fin +
ance public road improvements in a |
similar way as court, school houses
and other public works are financed; /
that all property shall be assessed |
for said road building according to
the state, county, community and I
private benefit to be derived from
such improvement, and we believe
that reasonable aid in promoting bet
ter roads from both state and nation
would be wise public policy.
Farm Land Banks.
Iowa farm lands now furnish the
best security in the world. Io-sa
farmers should be able to borrow
money on their lands at as low a rate
Of interest and on as good terms as
the first class municipal CORPORATION
can borrow money on their bonds.
The Iowa farmer must adopt modern
methods in marketing his farm mort
cages. He must do as governments
and municipalities do-put his secur-
ty In form to suit the investing
public. For the last hundred years
German land bonds have been mar
1eted at as low rate Of interest as
state and provincial bonds
We therefore urge our lawmakers
sanfzation of farm land banks to
operate under strict government SUI
,ervision and control. This govern
nent supervision and control will
without doubt give American investors Z
he same confidence in the bonds OF /:
,ur farm mortgage banks that the
German investors have in the bonds j

We sn1phatically reaffirm our faith

vor an Immediate return to the re-
publican policy of protection Of Amer
lean industry, American labor and the
American farmer; that the differences
in cost be ascertained by commits
sion and that the schedule be changed
from time to time to conform to the
then existing conditions.
We denounce both the principle
and method adopted by the democratic
party in arriving at the schedules en-
bodied In tho present tariff law, and
deplore the effect upon American Ia
Dor. industries, and producers.
Knowing that the foregoing an
OF the principles Of the
republican party are sound, and when
carried into effect by the republican
party will be for the best interests of
the whole people, we appeal with as
surance to the voters of the state for
their cooperation and support.
