HENRY WALLACE.

No announcement of the pa
versal regret than the news that Henry
Wallace died suddenly last evening
for few men have been equally known
and loved by the people of any state
or community than the veteran pub
Usher of Wallace's Farmer. Few men
can lay claim to greater usefulness or
have attained place in the trust and
confidence of people than Henry Wal
lace, preacher editor. and publisher
fifty three years in Iowa Neither ha 8
any man been granted a greater field
or longer and more sustained oppor-
tunity of effort.
Mr.. Wallace would have been 80
years old had he lived until March l9.
He came from theological school to
become pastor of a U. P. church at
Rock Island. III. and to Iowa to a
Davenport church where he remained
from 1858 to 1871, thence to Morn in e
Sun where he served five years 60
ing from there TO Winterset as sup
ply pastor. At Winterset he became
editor Of the Chronicle and later of
the ,Madisonian, went thence to the
Iowa Homestead at Des Moines and
established Wallace's Farmer in 1895.
This venture met almost immediat @
success and has developed into the fine
property and influential farm journal
of the present. He has been a prolific
writer on agricultural subjects as an
editor and author.
But most OF all Henry Wallace has
been leader in the uplft and de-
velopment Of the state morally, politi-
cally, and materially. He had pur-
pose and determination. He has been
on the right side and his intent has
always been unquestioned. Mr.. wal
lace gave fifty years of service TO his
state. A Pennsylvania by birth he
has never been aught but an Iowan
since he crossed the Mississippi None
has been more loyal. more optimistic.
more willing to serve than Wallace.
One great good fortune came to him
the best gift of God to purposeful
men. He lived up to the very minute
that he dropped dead in the church
where he had gone TO attend lay
mems missionary convention.
Those who attended the banquet of
the late session Of the Iowa Press as
ISOLATION will recall him as he sat
hale and apparently vigorous at the
speakers table. an earnest, interested.
able man despite his years. Wallace
was wealthy but compared with the
strength to live out the limit of mans
years granted him wealth is not d
thing for consideration.
The state Will mourn a good and
useful man departed. But its grief
will be tempered by the thought that
he lived and served as he desired he
might TO the final boundary of human
life

NAGGlNG CLIFFORD Tn0RkE.

Certain newspapers are naggins
Clifford Thorne with slur and innuendo
Some editors who never had a good
word for Brandeis are overwhelmed
with the capacity and fitness for the
supreme court of that great and good
action brought by Mr.. Thorne. Others
whose diligence as watchdogs OF the
treasury has never been noticed in
matters Of expenditure are worried tn
death because Clifford Thorne takes a
berth in a sleeping car. eats at a table
instead of snatching a Is cent bite at
a lunch counter and now and then
uses a stenographer instead Of writing
it out in longhand himself.
OF course, the hope is to discredit
Thorne as much as possible by con-
veying the impression that he isn't
worth what he costs the state Of Iowa.
Some. Of course, who understand the
sensitiveness Of the man may be flesh =
ing their arrows to see him vince but
the general purpose seems to be the
same as Of yore-to get rid of an Of
fetal thorn in the side Of certain in
terests.
It Is a small anG unworthy piece Of
business. Thorne will not suffer in the
constituted as TO let it annoy him per-
sona1ly; for Clifford Thorne has as
strong a backing and rs solid a follow
ing in this state as any man in official
life Back Of him are the agricultural
lists practically en- 7nasse. His repute
for absolute Integrity, in office and
out is permanently established even
| ernong his enemies. His service is
| well known and appreciated among
those whose protection he has been
| and is. And there is none among
railway attorneys and railway mag
mates who questions his ability to care
for himself and his clients, the ship
pers OF Iowa.
The railroad commission OF Iowa ha,
taken a place in the confidence Of the
average man which it had failed to en-.
Joy before Thorne came upon tn.
board. He has given that body rea
character. Thorne has not sought pop
ularity, he has pursued purpose
However, he has won an official popu
larity bred Of confidence. His stand
ing in this state Is in nowise persona
but of accomplishment in service.
So far as Thorne and Brandeis arr
concerned the facts as they leak on
seem to Justify Thorne's protes
against the appointment Of Brandei
to the supreme court. At any rate
is to be assumed that Mr. Thorne an,
the shippers organisations who ar
supporting his protest have good rea
sons for their stand. It will not llur

before the people. The appointment
was a surprise and an astonishment t
the average man. It was unexpected

RETAIL TRADE PROBLEMS.

he considered the greatest difficulty
in retail trade, remarked that he
thought it was the lack Of the spirit
OF unity among the merchants. He
felt that they did not take COM
petition in the right spirit. II they
found themselves undersold by a
competitor they conceived a crouch
against the man that under bid them
They called him a cut throat. would
scarcely speak to him on the street,
and would not work with him for the
general upbuilding of the town.
No man who is fit to serve the pub
lie thru retail trade ought TO fret at
healthy competition. A little rivalry
spurs man to do his beet. No man
who has good grip Of his calling
complains about it. He looks at II as
a part of his training. Every time
that he is worsted in fair competition,
he feels that something has been added
TO his business education by which he
will profit next time.
II he finds himself undersold, let
him study the costs Of his business.
the problem Of getting new trade and
of buying right, instead of complain
ing at the activity OF a competitor.
Then he will be able to build up his
own lines Of trade secure from COM
petition. When merchant gets sore
on his competitors. 1t is a sign that he
is playing losing game.
While competition is healthful. it
can. Of course, be overdone. II goods
are sold too close. the trade of a
town tends to be cut up into a large
number Of little stores, none Of them
big enough to do business cheaply or
serve the public efficiently.
Business men Will find they can
head off unfair competition best by
cultivating the friendship Of each
other. Let them discuss what should
be the prices in standard lines, and
makes more effort to establish basis
for mutual cooperation and good
natured competition.
