machinery, tools, automobiles, both
trucks and pleasure cars, and copper
mining and smelling. It lie true that
iron and steel capacity is below normal
in most lines, averaging possibly 70
per cent, but 1t needs to be noted that
this compares with a capacity working
of only 80 to 40 per cent IN December,
and the activity in copper at greatly adj
vanced prices compares with absolute
stagnation and almost complete shut
downs last autumn.
The great basic facts of soil and crop
conditions favor the growing of large
crops in this country the coming year.
Prices of all agricultural products ex-
cept cotton are still fattering to pro-
ducers; the winter wheat area presents
a combination of large acreage and
good condition; heavy areas will go
into other grains, including spring
wheat, corn and oats, and even the cot
ton situation has lightened up to such
an extent as to cause an appreciable
modification Of earlier estimates of crop
planting reduction.
Money is easy, remarkably SO, in fact,
and the limited employment of funds In
regular business for accommodation
and the low rates at which the bulk
of the business is moving. Collections
show little improvement from the slow
tendencies heretofore noted.
To the commercial agencies of Brad
streets and Duns, Buffalo reports orders
for upwards Of 100000 tons of pig
iron, the business thus transacted being
the heaviest done in many months. Silk
mills and manufacturers of lenses are
working at capacity. Cincinnati re-
ports that several machinery firms are
working full forces overtime foreign
orders. At Detroit idleness has de-
creased, operations in the shipyards are
active, automobile plants are busy and
brick manufacturers have large orders
ahead, in consequence of which, some
of them are planning to being night
work on April 1. Chicago reports that
jobbing trade is larger, demand being
mainly for immediate delivery. Mail
order houses are doing more, and they
have increased their working forces.
Steel mill capacity has been increased,
thus giving employment to idle work
men. Manufacturers of machine tools
are behind on deliveries. Minneapolis
says there is fair export trade in -four.
coupled with considerable inquiry for
prices. Linseed products are in good
demand for export. Poor country roads
hamper trade at ST. Louis, but owing
to the partial resumption Of some
manufacturing plants, the number of
unemployed has been reduced.

REAL REFORM.

=
The Iowa legislature ought to give
careful consideration to bill by Sena-
tor Foster which extends the power of
the well known Cosson removal laws
to include all county, township, city
and town officers elected or appointed.
AS it now stands the law applies only
to supervisors, sheriffs. mayors and
police officers. Under the amendment
any member Of city council for in
stance can be removed for failure to do
his duty.
Any law which operates against a
chief of police ought to reach the
superintendent of public safety. The
man higher up" is often responsible
for the very acts which result in the
ousting Of his chief.
Looking at the amendment from a
dollars and cents standpoint it will
mean big saving to cities and towns
that have occasion to bring action
against their public servants.
Records show that Attorney General
Cosson has been instrumental in re-
moving twentysix public officers I'M
der this law. A majority of them
stepped down and out at tho last mo-
ment rather than face the music. Only
last week two supervisors in Hardin
county voluntarily resigned after the
attorney general began his opening ar
gument to the jury. This made a total
Of thirteen supervisors out of the en-
tire number 0usted.
1t is estimated the cost of remov-
ing these officers outside Of the reg
ular salaries paid men who worked up
the evidences Is less than $500. At the
same time over $4,000 &of ill-gotten
gain has been paid back into the pub
lie Golfers by the oustsd officials
enough to pay the salary Of the at
torney general for ten years.
Compare these figures with the cost
of removing an officer who does not
come under the Cosson law. Sioux City
at the present time is a good example

The whole story is not told when we
say that man VINO was wild" in his
youth may settle down and live a re-
putable, even religious, life from the
date of his marriage or the birth of
his son and heir. So ne may. We all
know men who have done sc. But the
trouble is that the man can never
outilVe his bad name. We were lately
praising a foremost American states
man, one whose attainments are a
matter of pride to millions of Ameri-
can citizens, but the only reply we
could elicit from our friend was, Il

years ago after many a hard fought
field, but those who have attended such
gatherings know that there is a

noted by the press reporter. The

never will.
The other day we opened a letter
from bonding agency saying that
Mr.. So-and-so. young man in our
vicinity, had applied for responsible
position in a great commercial corpo-
ration. He could hare the place pro-
vided the bonding Company would ac-
cept him. Our name was given as a
reference by the young man himself.
Then the question was biuntly put,
did we know anything in his past
habits or present associations which
would cast any doubt upon his perfect
reliability" Now mark that. These
companies do not ask whether the ap-
plicant is deadbeat, or hobo, or a
gambler. But does he keep the COM
pany he ought? Does he avoid doubt
full places and shun dangerous habits +?
Well we had seen this young man
coming out Of a beer saloon two or
three times. We had heard of him
that he took a flyer now and then
on the board Of trade. What was the
result? The letter was rot answered
unfavorably; it was not answered a:
all. And that cost the young man his
preferment. The commercial world
does not simply require that an en-
ploye be without vice. 1t demands, as

Of her financial experts as to the ade-

SPLIT FIFTY-F1FTY.


The Iowa democrats are in snarl
Of their own over the vacancy on the
democratic national committee occas-
Toned by the appointment Of Judge
Wade as federal judge. BY the GUS
toms in such cases the national COM
mitteeman of party that is in con-
troll in the nation but not in the state
Is the chief distributor Of patronage
for the administration and in the state.
Hence the filling of the Wade vacancy
means postoffices and lots Of things.
But the vacancy has not yet been
filled. The matter Of filing 1t rested
with the democratic state committee,
and that committee met last Monday
to make its choice. The ten members
of that committee, however, divided
five and Ave, and the eleventh MEM
Der, who should have neld the balance
OF power died some time ago. So the
committee undertook to fill in the first
place, the vacancy in it's own member
ship, and each group of five put up its
own candidate for that vacancy also.
And this was as far as the committee
got, until it grew tired and adjourned
TO date in April. So the meeting was
futile in one sense; but in another
sense it brought to attention line of
cleavage that seems to be cutting
deeper and deeper. Democratic politi
clans in Iowa have heretofore been as
ISOLATED in different groups and fac
tons, the troubles of which have not
been widely nor very intcliigently ex-
plotted in the newspapers; but in this
particular case all of the previous lines
OF distinction seem to have been
merged and lost in one Of religion. AS
the matter is now understood, one
group of five in the democratic COM
mittee was all Catholic and the other
group Of five all non Catholic, and as
thus assorted the respective groups
deadlocked. We do not know anything
about the responsibility for this sort Of
grouping, but we are sorry for it.

Duty Above Right

Speaking of the American lives lost in the torpedoing of ships, Mr. Bryan said that there might be a right in favor of be- ing on those ships, but there was a duty above right, and that the duty of every man citi- zen in such an hour was to stay within the bounds where he would not involve his country in trouble. "A country which has the right to take a widows son and place him in the front of the battle line can make her citizen stay at home Whenthere is danger abroad 7
 Referring to the greatadvan-

tage this country had in being the strongest neutral power, MT. Bryan said that it was a position it was the duty of this nation to maintain. He said that when the time came for peace to be worked out, it was the responsibility of this nation to be in a position to contribute it's portion.
 "There is not a soldier boy who falls on a foreign battle field" said, he, "but whatthere is somewhere within this coun- try an echo of sadness. That is how close this nation is bound to all the warning nations. And that makes the obligation the stronger that we should remain absolutely neutral and beready to serve when the time comes. "
