It exists no more. Chattel slavery
is a very ancient institution. It ex-
listed long before Moses and he tried
to regulate it among his people by
law. 1t existed in Russia and in our
own country until generation ago.
Christians used to say that it had
always been, that it was instituted by
God and that it always must be. And
now it is gone. The world does
move. Changes do take place, in
spite of Christians and people who
want all things to stand still and al.
ways to remain as they are.
Some day we will look upon pros
titution much the same as we look
upon cannibal feast or the auction
block today.-T.J.

The spectacle presented at the cor
ner of Madison and Halsted when the
Halsted car reaches this corner is
unique. A mass of patient passen-
gers rush in, pay their nickel, push,
ram and jam one another until not
an inch of car space is left vacant.
Those who are fortunate enough to
grab strap act as support for
those who stand between the rows
of seats. Others tightly wedged
against the rear door steady the load.
Then the car starts. After expert
eneing a little" discomfort, the
merry" load arrives at Harrison st.
After good deal of pushing and
weighing, part Of the load unloads
and another load is taken on. Then
those who take the fast" Blue Island
line have time to recuperate and cool
of. Very wisely on that line the
company runs cars at pretty long in
tervals.
No doubt it is done for the good
of the health of the passengers. In
deed, it is quite pleasant to stand on
the corner in a cold wintry evening
and mark time for a while with the
knowledge that a precious transfer is
safely tucked into ones pocket. The
only worry incidental to the waiting
is by the time the Blue Island car
comes in sight the time limit set on
the transfer has almost expired.
The packing process on the 18th st.
lines is beyond comparison. By
studying the way human beings can
be packed on that line sardine pack
ers could learn something to their
advantage. Anyway, a stout woman
or fat man have no business to ride
on the 18th st. line. They take up
too much valuable space.
Now you critics and calamity howl

PERFECT" TRANSPORTATION.
1t is manifestly unfair on the part
of The Day Book and other critics to
raise a howl against the Service"
given to the public of Chicago by
our" street car company, and this in
the face of the fact that Chicago
straphangers are blessed with the
best" transportation system in the
world.
Indeed, it would almost be impos-
sible for the self-sacrificing directors
and officials of the company to inn
prove the fine service given to the
unfortunates who have to ride on the
Halsted, Blue Island and 18th street
lines.
AS one who has the pleasure" to
ride on those lines l must say that
the packing PROCESS is simply mar
velOus and truly believe that the
straphangers ought to unite and
give the company a rousing vote of
thanks for the wonderful accom-
modations provided.
The cars are generally nice and
cold. The reason is simple. EIec-
tricity costs money, and by packing
a mass Of human beings in as small
as possible, natural heat can thus be
developed. Not only does it cost moth
ing, but is actually a source of. rev.

Des No:nes, Dec. 7-Clergyuen may

but they are no, workmen-at least not
under the Iowa workuien's conpensa-

That is the opinion Of Henry E.

men"

The thinning ranks of ministers IN
Iowa may be expecting reinforcements
as result of the opinion. For the Iowa
law plainly says that preachers in this
state do not work.
The decision Of the assistant attor-
ney general was made in reply to an
inquiry from preached in a small
Iowa town in the northern part OF the
state. The minister was injured while
performing duties which he thought
were work. The congregation need not
pay him compensation under the law.

GROWS $4,000 ON TREES
Polk County orehardist Finds Profit in
AppIes-crop This Year Valued at
$3.50. Orchard of Forty Aeres-Finds
Ready Market.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines Dec. Charles Q. Gar
rett, of Polk county, who has given
considerable attention to apple growing
in the past ten years. has produced be-
tween 5000 and 5000 bushels of apples
on forty acres this year. These facts
were learned from Mr.. Garrett yester-
day while he was arranging his dis
play in the basement Of the state house.
The apple men are putting on big ap-
pie show in connection with the state
horticultural convention.
Mr. Garrett sold five car loads to
dealers here in Des Moines for 3l.25 per
bushel. He has been able to dispose of
all of his crop at prices as good as that
and for some of it higher prices were
received. A crop of 5000 bushels at
s1.25 per bushei. means $4,000 from
forty acres of land. or $3.50 per acre.
Il have not missed crop in eight
years" said Mr.. Garrett yesterday. In
that time have had five heavy crops
and three light crops. While there are
localities in the west where they get
a crop every year. they do not have the
market for their supplies which we
have"
Mr.. Garrett is an ardent advocate of
spraying and of careful grading and
packing. He says that buyers know
his apples will keep well because he
grades and packs them carefully and
they are willing to pay more than the
market price for them because of this.
Mr.. Garrett maintains stall at the
city market and he also does quite a
special order business thruout the city.
besides supplying q number Of grocery
stores. He has one orchard near
Mitchellville and another near Des
Moines. II prices are not satisfa Glory
at harvest time, he puts his fruit In
cold storage and waits for a raise.
The apple exhibit this year is I'M
usually attractive. The growers who
come here have learned the system of
grading and packing as shown by their
excellent box exhibits. While there has
been some complaint that the apples
this year were watery. some Of the big
growers here say the fruit which was
well cared for this year will keep as
good as in any season. r..

Special to Times Republican.
Rockwell City, Dec. Corn husking
is progressing rapidly and many OF the
progressive farmers of Calhoun county
see the end not far off. The corn Is
Light, some of it weighing out just one
half, and cornhuskers are hard to get,
as ii is hard to make good wages with

Of the whole situation Is the splendid
lot of hogs in the county. This has
been a great year for them and the
farmers are feeding them the soft
corn. and some OF the farmers say that
they never saw hogs do half so well.
Some have fenced of large tracts of
corn. and let the hogs in to do their
own husking. A large part of the corn
crop viii be fed to these hogs and with
the good price of pork. they will real
lie good profit from their corn after

were exceptionally good and the farm
ers will not feel the loss Of half the
