bROOKHART MUM
/! ON PROHIBITION
Cites Fedora, Reserve and Esch.
Cummins Law As Issues; lIer.
ring In Rebuttal.

Despite belief yesterday that
Colonel Smith Brookhart, Washing
ton, Iowa. Republican candidate for
United States senator from Iowa,
would define his stand for or
against prohibition, he failed to
touch on the subject in his address
today at the Davenport fair
grounds at the' Scott county farm
bureau picnic.
He stated that the important is
sues of his campaign are the credit
system or federal reserve system,
and the Esch-Cummins law. He
deplored the control Of the fed
efal reserve system by the Wall
street interests" and asserted that
since farmers are an important
group among the systems clients
they should be accorded credit. He
characterized the, Esch- Cummins
law as unjust. Charging his oppo-
nent, Clyde l.. Herring, Des Moines,
Democratic candidate for the same
ONCE. with being tool of the Wall
street interests, Colonel Brookhart
spoke In a disparaging way of Her
rings alliance with the trusts.
The address c. l.. Herring deliy-
cred was largely rebuttal Of the
colonels speech. He talked Is
minutes.
colonel Brookhart is not a big
farmer but Socialist lawyer" said
Herring. "He is a white collar
farmer only. Mr.. Brookhart's ref
erence to farmers in an address at
Des Moines discloses his real esti-
mate of farmers and farming. I
have here shorthand report Of
that address,. =
Mr. Herring read an alleged ex-
tract which stated, Il belong to
the farmer class-vhave never risen
above it and have no ambition to
rise above 1t. l have a feeling of
class Consciousness" He expiain-
ed that this statement means that
Btookhart estimates the farming
class as lower than some other
class he has in mind; that there is
some other higher existence than
that Of a farmex. and that there is
dinfculty in passing 70 it.

tended the meeting and heard the
addresses Of the rival candidates,

NEW YORK STORE
FLOURISHE;S ON
LIBERAL POLICY
Especial Moline servi~.p

Tomorrow marks the 3Sth ami
versary of the founding of the New
York store of Moline, a business
in whose development is exempli-
fed the potency of civic faith and
progressive merchandising meth
DDS. The occasion will be observed
with a gigantic sale in all depart
ments that will run through the
following week.
Established in little shop on
Third avenue by Jacob Pierr and
his son, e. A. Pierr, SO years ago,
the New York store today is one of
the leading department stores of
the quad-clties. The business has
kept pace with the growth of Mo-
line through all the 3S years, but
the biggest strides have been made
since it was purchased by Dave
Brady and Abe Waxenburg, two
years ago.
The stores now has 40 depart
ments, 10 of which have been add
ed by the new management. Virtu-
ally every line of merchandise, in
Guiding home furnishings, meats
and groceries and clothing for men,
women and children are sold in the
store. The store building has been
remodeled, throughout and is mod
ern in every way. At the time it
was erected, in 1911, the building
was considered a model of business
block construction. Interior re-
modelling, which has been done n
the last few. years, has made the
building strictly up-to-date. The
building has a frontage of so feet
on Fifteenth street between Fiji
teenth and Sixteenth streets and is
three stories high.
The building that first housed the
business, on Third street. had q
frontage of only 20 feet. its depth
was not much greater. In 1895 the
firm moved & to Fifteenth street,
where 1t erected 3-story building.
After 10 years Of prosperity in that
location Pierr & Co. leased the ad-
joining building and occupied both
the Pierr building and the Rosen-
stein building. Pierr & Co. To-
manned in that location for six
more years khen the present build
ing was completed.
On Sept. ~, 1920, the new firm
Of Brady & Waxenberg assumed
control OF the store. Since then
so new employees have been added,
the total force now numbering $50.
The new proprietors have been
singularly successful. due to theft
clesn-cut, progressive service
service is sold at the New York
store along with the merchandise,
and the price of this service ia

The anniversary celebration.
which opens tomorrow. will be OF
special significance to Walter va

development Of the business from
