IOWA'S NEW SENATOR.

When Iowa voters decided TO send Smith w.
Brookhart to the senate they did not take into con-
sderaton some of the political traditions Of the
state. Once upon time conditions in Iowa were
such that the colonel wouldn't have gotten to first
base in republican convention. All who doubt
this may find the proof by looking up the records
of the convention wherein James b. Weaver was
turned down after it had been ali out certain that
he would be nominated for governor. Weaver an
swered by going over to the greenback party and
defeating Judge Samson, one Of the old-time war
horses, for congress.

NEBRAsKA's NEW GOVERNOR.

Almost alone among the democratic candidates
for state office in Nebraska Charles w. Bryan has
met with His chief running mate, Senator
Gilbert M. Hitchcock, went down in defeat. All the
other democrats except Charles w. Pool, who was
elected secretary of state, were lost. Yet Mr.
Bryan comes up smiling
The people Of Nebraska have placed Bryan in
the governors chair, and they will not be lacking in
their support of him there so long as he conducts
his Office with due regard for their wishes and the
realities Of the situation. However embarrassing
the exaggerated promises OF his campaign may
prove, the republican Legislature should not share any
responsibility for failure TO aid any measures bene-
fetal to Nebraska.
Bryan will find that the republican legislature
that has been elected to office under democratic
governor will cooperate with him in whatever leg
slative action is designed for the public good These
republicans in the house and senate pledged to
reduction of state expenses and further cut in
the tax bill To this and other desirable ends they
should work with their governor readily as they
would have done with Charles II. Randall, the
publican candidate for governor
In all regards the republican legislative major
ty will act as balance wheel for Nebraskas
governor. Bryan shares the good fortune Of the
state in not being saddled with unchecked authority
1t is hardly possible that he consider that he has
been given a mandate for the complete upheaval Of
the established system of state government for

Further Standardization.

From the Now York journal OF Commerce
A recent resolution adopted by the
New York Chamber Of Commerce
places that body on record as I'm
favor Of the general principles Of
Standardization In American indus
tries" as set forth In a report OF It's
committee on foreign commerce. II H..
Of course, well.recognIzed fact that
American manufacturers have already
gone further In this direction than
have those Of any other nation. What
is usually termed mass production"
has IN this manner been made feas.
ible. This. OF course. In turn has been
instrumental In enabling our factories
TO keep costs down in spite OF high
ware levels. .. ..
However, II Is reasonable 10 sup.
pose that the process can be car
ried q good deal further In n mum.
Der Of respects with advantage 10
both producer and consumer. IL is
commonly supposed that this Is
more particularly true OF products
intended primarily for use within
our own borders. IT is therefore OF
especial interest that the subject has
now been brought to the fore by those
chiefly interested in the development
OF our export trade.
In carrying out Standardization
methods still further IN the produc.
tlon Of articles intended for sale
abroad we must OF course, face the
arising from customs,
prejudices and whims Of foreign
people who are as yet not accustom-
ed to such uniformity in products
as is necessary for the full realiza.
tion Of all the benefits to be de.
rived from complete Standardization
Of materials and processes. There is,
however, no good ground for seri-
GUS doubt that much can be done In
this direction. II would seem to be
highly desirable that we proceed vleor-
ously and intelligently to exploit the
and natural advantages
that are ours in the way Of export.
In fact, It will probably prove neces.
sary il we are to compete success
fully with Europe.

WHEAT TREATING ENDS.
MANY USE FACILITIES
q.

Treatment of wheat seed for the
elimination of smut infection ended
Tuesday afternoon with the treating
of seed for a 15-acre plot for the East
haven farms.
The new plant, established in CO
operation with the Bertsch mill in
CenterviIle, using the hot water and
steam piping of the sorghum mill, has
made possible a greatly increased ca
pacity, the two men operating the
plant now being able to treat 120
bushels in day.
A small lean-to was built against
the sugar mill to house the hot water
tank of the plant. A track from il
through the mill and the concrete floor
was used for drying the wheat after
its 10-minute submersion in the hot
water.
The five-bushel drum, of coarse wire
screen, mounted on a truck running
on a track like litter c-~"ier, can be
