COOPERATIVE STORES.

At Bloomfield number OF farmers
OF the vicinity were conducting a CO.

have concluded to sell out and stick

had been told about the expenses

The railroads are asking to Dor
row large sums of money from the
government for rehabilitating the
destructive rundown due to neglect
during the war period. Other bust
ness does not borrow money from the
government. but the government
took over the railroads and ran them
doYn during the war exigeneies. and
thu government is under obligation
to but them back to the condition in
which they found them.
But be that as It may, II is the
peoples money which is being
loaned, and the government should
put string to this loan by passing
a law making It criminal to herd the
people in great droves in loading
trains at city railway stations. A
train or an interurban car may be
standing on the side track at the
station for an hour, but the universal
custom of the railroads is to drive
the people in fiocks up to the ticket

And our eyes are filed with sadness

Or that new time and untrue time
That We then believed was life!

In which my love would reign.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

an word, Mr.. Gompers would
have the government changed from
one which permitted twenty-one cor
of +35 per cent to one which would
enhance the interests of the workers
until tho other extreme is reached,
the common citizen in the meantime
bearing both burdens" says tho Sioux
City Journal. would Mr.. Gompers
be willing to have wages reduced, for
instance. that costs OF living may be
reduced? 1t is doubtful. No one con-
dones, much less defends the profit
eering Of corporations which have
made excessive dividends. But the
logic of Mr.. Gompers is that wages
must not be lowered In the interests
of lower prices. but on the contrary,
that they must be raised, until they
balance with profteers' dividends."
The Anamosa Eureka says:
"Brookhart, who wants to 90 to the
senate worse than he wants to be OF
real service to his state. Is talking
government ownership Of railroads,
the Plumb plan of operation, and nom

OF Iowa IL they fail to go to the polls
June and knock Mr.. Brookhart and
his radicalism into such shape that
he will remain an humble citizen OF
Washington. Ia"
The Tracr Star-Clipper admits
that Senator Cummins has not
pleased everybody. He has displeased
the Iowa Homestead in Des Moines
and they have put man named
Brookhart in the field to oppose him
This Of itself is enough to convince
most OF the Iowa republicans that
Senator Cummins should be kept in
office"
"Of course II all the farmers and
laboring men OF the state vote for
Brookhart for senator he will be
nominated by large majority. But
IhcAG AES HlAHy 1ADOrlnR men VINO
are opposed to labor unions, and
these will be inclined to vote against
Brookhart. and 1t is unlikely that he
can get 10 per cent Of the farmer
support. Unquestionably he will have
the support Of the /. W. WIS, the
BIPARTISAN leaguers. the socialists
and asitators generally, but there are
not enough Of that class in this state

The advantage of choosing merchandise at
saving of 20 per cent or of so per cent de-
pends upon the merchandise. A saving of 20

or little or nothing at, all, according to the
clothing involved. ...'
But saUing of 20 per cent on lVhat is
knoun TO be the finest ready-to-lUea all-Uool

thing that no man luhO needs clothing for this

That is exactly the opportunity now pre-
Sented in the Wanamaker Mems Clothing
Store, in which man can choose any suit OF
0vercoat at 20 per cent less than the regular
Wanamaker prices.
1t is the most remarkable offering ever
