WASHINGTON, ID. C.. May "a.
Frank H. Hitchcock. one of Major
General Leonard Woods campaign
managers. told a Senate Investigation
Committee today that so far as he
knew the largest sum spent in any
state by the Wood organization was
$4,000 in New Jersey. He added that
the next largest sum was Sl2.500

most universally demanded and had
been year after year deferred by the
standpat element of the republican
party in obedience to ORDERS"
All readers of American current
history know that during the forty
years which preceded Woodrow Will
son. the democrats Of the state OF
ONO, and of all the states in the
Mississippi valley were in favor Of
soft money. The democratic party
was the greenbacls party for num-
Der OF years. Ohio had the paper
money craze as intensely as any state
in the union. IF Governor Cox had
lived at that time he would have
been greenbacker. When the
greenback party was advocating
Pomeroyism and reputation of the
national debt the democratic party
stood with that proposition. The
democratic party adopted the fedora!
reserve system which had been
planned and framed by Senator
Aldrich. a republican, largely because
1t gave the democrats control OF
many thousands OF offices, and of
our entire financial system. The
democrats were never willing to- trust
tho republicans with that power.
The republicans were willing to give
the democrats chance to show whar'
they could do.
We are thankful that Governor
Cox did not assert that the demo-
Gratis had fought a great foreign war,
and had also enriched the country by
an increased foreign trade.

CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

1t takes money to make the mare
go and it requires coin to finance a
fast political campaign-tne neces-
sary expenses are referred to. Pub
licity takes a considerable chunk OF
the needful. Then there are halls to
be hired and the expenses incident to
a speakers campaign in October.
There are two methods Of raising
the needful-that of soliciting the
multi millionaires to come across and
that Of passing the hat and obtaining
the money in smaller chunlss-S1O, 900
or less, with the emphasis on the last
word.
The chairman OF the national DEM
ocratic committee has announced
what virtually amounts to "the sky
is the limit" On the other hand,
Chairman Hays Of the G. o. P. COM
mittee. has Indicated that he does
not desire bloated contributions from
the plutocrats, but wishes to obtain
much Of the needful by means of
small contributions from the rank and
file of the party and this will be the
plan for both state and national cam
paign funds.
While the democratic chairman as
serts that the presidential candidate
will not regard himself as under obli-
cations to the big contributor 1t still
remains q fact that the fellow who
writes the big check for campaign
expenses. often Is given q, job as am
bAssador. or some position equally as
good. This may possibly be accidental
or incidental, and possibly not. At
any rate 1t Is assured that with small
contributions there will be some
whose pull will entit1e them to soft
jobs.

tor to the treasury of candidate for
the presidential nomination sheiled

A Singular Report.

What is called the report of the
Interchurch World Movement" on
the steel strike of last autumn Is
now published at great length. The
reason for such action is not very
clear unless 1t is to be associated in
some way with the recent announce
ment attributed to William Y. Foster
that there would be a renewal Of the
strike at some comparatively early
date. At any rate the controversy
over the steel strike is now renewed
and with the backing Of various per-
sons whose names are cited in the
evident endeavor to give support to
the conclusions reached.
And yet there Is reason to believe
that the public will not be moved by
the substance of the document. 1t
was out of sympathy with the steel
strike and refused to support 1t last
autumn and it would probably pur-
sue the same course again. The re-
port admits that such was the case,
and attempts to explain the fact by
citing various reasons which are al
legged as due to public fear" or
prejudice AS remedies for the ex-
listing situation In the steel mills, the
chief suggestions put forward are
the adoption of the eight-hour ray,
the recognition Of the right OF collec-
tive bargaining. the creation Of mini
mum wage commissions and the in
PRODUCTION Of voluntary arbitration,
From the side of labor it is recon-
mepded that the restriction of pro-
duction as o. doctrine be abandoned
and that sorHe substitute for the
closed shop be found
There Is queer mixture OF COM
monplaceness. bias and soundness In
all this. Nobody denies the tlesirabilf-
ty Of reasonable hours OF labor. To
recommend the Recognition" OF the
unions. however. means the adnis-
sion OF the closed shop idea. with its

mitted union members. In curious

ton that Substitute for the closed

TRACKS FOR OUR ROLLING STOCK.

Marshall county people now own
$500 licensed automobiles which
easily cost not less than Sc, 600.
and will all wear out IN an average
life of five years.
Il Marshall county shoula decide
to pave its entire county road system
within the next few years and sto
gravel about half of it's township
roads the total investment would
not exceed what has already been
invested in automobiles by it's peo-
Pile.
When costs of construction come
down so that an extensive program
OF road surfacing can be undertaken
covering a reasonable amount of
progress in each year for period
of years the financing Of the road
investment can be spread out thin
over a period of twenty years by the
issue OF county bonds at low rates
of interest.
Should such a program ever be
attempted it might not approximate
as much as our current investment
in rolling stock but if it were to be
paid on the twenty year plan where
as our rolling stock costs us $4,000
600. every five years we ought not
to be afraid to tackle almost any
kind Of q road building program
which is practical for road con-
tractors to carry out.
A people who can afford to invest
$6.0O0,000. in automobiles every five
years can not afford to jam that
much machinery to pieces in the
mud and ruts when an equal sum
spread out over period Of twenty
years would surface practically all Of
the used roads with either paving
or gravel and probably proIong the
life Of the $4,000 900. worth Of auto
mobiles by at least year. Then
there Is untold saving in repairs, gas
and upkeep. A million or more
saved each year on rolling stock by
reason OF smoothe and hard road bed
would pay for hard roads three times
over In the twenty year period Of
bond issue.
Before the war when hard roads
could be built for half what they
will probably cost On the ruture and
when money was plentiful and cheap,
the T.-R. advocated extensive public
improvements upon the roads but
fear and lack Of information caused
the public to be frightened at the

contract freely, 1t would be difficult
to say. AS for minimum wage COM
missions and minimum wages in gen.
eral. the notion is already discredited,
Esince no concern can pay wages, eth
err minimum or maximum. unless they
are earned. There is no reasonable
field for the intervention Of outsiders
without knowledge of an industry
who establish the wages to be paid
in the plants of that industry.
The Interchurch World Movement
will have to get good deal closer to
the facts of Industrial life and will
have to take much closer account OF
public opinion if 1t expects to make
much progress with its effort to de-
velop opinion on the steel strike or on
conditions in the labor world in gen.
eral. About the vest that can be said
of the document is that it seems like

MILLIONS IN IOWA ORCHARDS.

The Greene orchard. at the west
edge Of Marshalltown is an object
lesson in fruit possibilities in Iowa.
This year the owner thoroughly
sprayed his trees at the proper time
for spraying. The result is that the
trees hang dangerously full Of ap-
pies that are practically all perfect
and free from defects. It has been
necessary to place braces under the
boughs bending to the ground with
their burden of apples. At present
prices and with the yield on the
trees the orchard is the most profit
able piece of ground on the farm
Except in. certain limited districts
in Iowa apple orchards are left
mainly to themselves to survive or
perish. If they produce good crop Of
apples they do it without assistance
or protection. And the orchard own
er buys eastern and western fruit
at enormous prices to supply need
that little care and labor would
bring from his own trees along with
profit A little judicious pruning
and spraying would mean millions
of money saved to the people Of the
state and large profits to the orchard
owner.
A great industry and, great OPP
pprtunity are being neglected and
even scorned in this state. The av-
erage farm treats it's orchard as the
farmer of Il few years ago treated
his cows. as an incidental more or
less necessary but Improbable. The
dairy is looking up. When poor men
get rich on herd OF COWS it at
tracts notice. There is no reason
why a twenty acre orchard in Iowa,
properly cared for should not make
it's owner rich.
Soner or later we shall raise our
own apples In Iowa. We are begin
ming to see and notice. When We
understand that the same care and
watchfulness given the orchard trees
will pay as we'll OF better than the
cultivation Of corn and the care be-
slowed upon livestock we shall pay
our money to our neighbors instead
of to New York and Montana or

We must work out a plan which
will enable us to ship corn. for ex-
ample. di1ect to the plants which use
the corn. That means that it must be
dried and graded at the smaller ele-
vators scattered thru the producins
country. This would eliminate not
only considerable part OF the trib-
ute we have been paying to the
terminal market, but would also
greatly relieve our transportation
system by avoiding the congestion
which results when great quantities
of grain are piled up at terminal
points. There Is no reason at all why
a large part of the surplus corn from
Iowa can not be marketed direct to
manufacturing plants and to the
eastern farmers who buy il for feed.
There is no reason why large num-
bcrs OF operative elevators can
not have drying plants and arrange
for grading their corn before it is
