IS THE CLIMATE CHAN6ING?
Some scientist offers data to show
that the climate of the United States is
changing. It Isn't as cold in Vermont
as it used to be. Other changes are
shown all for the warmer anil of
course then for the better. Here in
Iowa the oldest inhabitant recalls the
Kebruaries of long ago when snow four
feet deep lay over the prairies and
northwest winds slid down the vast
and frozen expanses from the north
pole to freeze cattle to death, and keep
men busy feeding the stoves in the
pioneer cabins. Blizzards raged un
checked across the encrusted prairies.
The climate has changed.
Men make their own climates or at
least ameliorate them. The groves and
the fences and the storm defying fur
nace heated houses of-Iowa have much
to do with 'the effects if not the causes
of climate. Iowa is a better home as
a stale than as a territory.
The climate has changed otherwise.
"We have had changes in the moral,
political and business temperatures.
2den are growing better and .natures
Are growing warmer. The schools and
colleges of Iowa have tempered com
mon thought and impulses as the
groves and big barns have broken the
winds and destroyed the prairies. We
are growing warmer toward each other
and mankind in the mass.-
The climate is changing. From Maine
to California it is changing. The rights
of the masses, the condition of the poor,
the education of the ignorant are be
ing looked after more carefully and
being granted more readily than ever
toefore. Chinook wind strikes Rock
efeller and he parts with 32 millions
to benefit others. Carnegie strings a
Jine of poor men's universities across
the continent. Leaders rise up to de
mand an honest distribution of pro
duction and the square deal for all the
people. Men are kinder, more mutual
ly helpful. Education is disseminated.
.-•Publicity is a passion. Knowledge is
common. The climate is changing.
TRADE WITH "THE COLONIES."
Trade of the United States with its
.noncontiguous territories amounted to
jysi million dollars in the calendar year
1906, against less than 100 millions in
1904. Of this total 131 millions, 59
.millions, speaking in round terms, was
merchandise shipped to those territor
ies and 72 millions merchandise re
ceived from-them. In addition to this,
there was received from Alaska over
18% million dollars' worth of gold pro
dueed in that territory, and mil
lions of foreign gold, presumably chief
ly from the British territory adjacent.
'.Of the 59 million dollars' worth of
merchandise sent to the .noncontiguous
territories, about 22 million dollars'
worth went to Porto Rico, 17% millions
to Alaska, 12% millions to Hawaii, and
7 millions to the Philippine Islands.
The shipments to Porto Rico have in
creased from 12 million dollars in 1904
-to 22 millions in 1906 those to 'Alaska
from 11% millions in 1904 to 17% mil
.Hons in 1906 those to Hawaii, fronj
ill millions in 1904 to 12% milions in
,1906 and those to the Philippine Is
.'.'lands, from 5 millions in 1904 to a lit
tie over 7 millions in 1906.
The value of merchandise received
from 'Hawaii has increased'from 25%
milion dollars in 1904 to 29-1-3 millions
in 1906 from Porto Rico, from 13 mil
lions in 1904 to 20%'millions in 1906
from Alaska, from 10% millions in 1904
fSSto 12 millions in 1906 while the Philip
^pine Islands show a slight reduction, the
figures of 1904 being 10%, millions and
those of 1906 a little over 10 millions
in value. Of gold received from Alas
ka, the total of domestic production
was, in 1904. a little over 9 million
^dollars,- and in 1906, 18% millions, the
'receipts of domestic gold from that
territory having thus more than
doubled )n two years and being in 1906
times the amount paid for that ter
ritory.
TOO LATE TO SETTLE.
One year ago a family mileage book
bill was introduced in the Iowa legis
lature and the opposition of the rail
roads succeeded in having it turned
down. The proposed law would have
.made it possible to buy a 1,000 mile
book at two cents per mile good for
the whole family, that is, any member
of the family could use it.
The campaign came on. The rail
roads set out to wipe Cummins and
all free and independent men in politi
cal life off the map. The people were
aroused and a legislature turns up
which passes a two-cent fare bill thru
one house without a dissenting vote.
It is too late for compromise. Gov
ernor Cummins and his friends have
told thousands of people that if the
railroads have averaged only two cents
per mile from all passenger traffic and
if excursion rates- and dead heads have
ridden for less than two cents, some-

committee that they will accept a 500-| If a man don't know how to write an

body has been helping to pay their
fares, until the farmers of Iowa and
the public generally have acquired the
notion, each man for himself, that he
has 'been paying it. The senate must
adopt thft two-cent fare bill or break
faith with the public. If the railroads
can stand it to carry the man for two
cents who puts up $10 for a family
mileage book they will not go broke
if they carry all of us at two cents per
mile. It is Instinctive with railroad
lawyers never to offer to settle until
they are beaten in the case.

IUWA OPINIONS AND NOTES
The Cedar Rapids Republican is now
"not disposed to look upon the two
cent bill which passed the legislature
yesterday, with a'iy misgivings." and
is "conlldent that the railroads them
selves will see the benefit of such leg
islation." Jjp
Bven the Newton Journal hopes to
"see a primary election law passed at
the present session of the legisla
ture." but hopes "that it may be as
simple as language can make it. 3o
that all can fully understand its pro
visions."
"Judging from the spiritless way in
which it is done," the Council Bluffs
Nonpareil suspects that "congressmen
and senators at Washington draw lots
to see which ones are to say a few
well chosen words from time to time
in behalf of tariff revision."
The suggestion made at Des Moines,
that some system of licensing telegra
phers who work for railways and pro
hibiting the railways from employing
telegraphers who are not known to
be competent to secure the license, ap
peals 'to the Davenport Times as a
good one. The Times thinks "such a
law probably would tend to reduce the
number of wrecks in Iowa."'
"If there was a real case of an un
der dog in a light. It is the battle now
going on against the railroads in Iowa."
asserts t'he Burlington Gazette, the
democratic paper devoted to Mr. Blythe
and the railroads. "Despite the mill
ions of money they pay out each year,
despite the thousands and thousands
to whom they furnish continuous em
ployment. not a man in the whole Iowa
legislature dares raise a voice or hand
to give them a show for their white
alley. It seems to be an attack of the
rabies that has infected the last one."
"The pension agencies are all to be
retained, not because they are needed,
but just because," remarks the Cedar
Rapids Gazette.
"With the farmers and the elevators
and the coal men and the stock men
calling for cars," says the Mason City
Globe-Gazette, "with a dozen or more
2-cent bills before t'he legislature, with
a bunch of demurrage propositions,
with the long and short hours and with
the railway commission purposing to
completely overhaul the freight sched
ules, the railroads are having the time
of their lives getting busy."
"It is be contended that child labor
legislation by congress would be con
stitutional, would not," asks the Du
buque Telegraph, "thr power logically
be the government's to force an eight
hour day upon the state by prohibit
ing the transportation from one state
to another of goods made by workmen
employed nine hours -or ten hours a
day?"
The Muscatine Journal recalls that
in the days of unlimited passes, when
a 2-cent fare bill was introduced in
the Iowa legislature it was simply
laughed out of court. "Now." it con
tinues. "when, a bill of that kind come9
up for action no one is found who will
say a word against it. What a differ
ence it does make, after all."
The Year's Immense Potato Crop.
The potato crop of 1906 was one of
•the biggest on record. It aggregated
808,038,000 bushels, or 102.2 bushels
per acre on 3,013,000 acres. The farm
value was $157,821,000. The increase
in the yield was 47,297,000 bushels in
the acreage, 17,000, and in the yield
per acre, 15.2 bushels, as compared with
1905.
The acreage last year was only 2,000
less than the big area planted in 1904,
when the yield was 24,000,000 bushels
below that of 1905, and aggregated only
87 per acre. That the yield tihe past
year was above an average is shown by
the figures from the department of
agriculture, giving it as 87 bushels per
acre for the past ten years. That the
largest crops are not always the most
profitable to growers is shown by a
comparison of farm values on Dec. 1,
for the past three years. In 1906 the
farm value was $157,574,000, a decrease
from 1905 of $3,174,000. This despite
the fact tihat the crop in 1905 was the
smaller by 47,297,000 bushels. Taking
the big crop of 1904, which was 332,
830,000 bushels, the farm value was
$150,678,000, or $6,967,000 under that
of 1906, showing that the fanner in
some respects gets less for an immense
crop than in" years when the yield is a
medium one, as the price ranges high
er under the latter conditions.
New York took the lead of. the pota
tp-growing states with 44,142,000 'bush
els, or more than. 14,000,000 bushels in
excess of 1905. This state with Penn
sylvania and New Jersey, raised 76,
081,908 bushels, an increase of 17,129
795 yet this was not enough to supply
home requirements, 'and stocks are be
ing bought In the west and shipped
into that territory. Maine is one of the
largest potato-raising states, having a
crop of 22,998.000 bushels, or 4,900,000
in excess of 1905. The New England
group of states raised 34,858,702 bush
els, an increase of 5,203,126 as com
pared with 1905.
The great commercial crop of the
country, whence the bulk of supplies
are drawn for the consuming centers,
comes from Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota. These three states raised
62,963,944 bushels, or 19,564,526 more
than the previous year. Michigan took
the lead with 27,075,000 bushels, in
creasing. nearly 17,000. Wisconsin
raised 23,765,000 bushels, increasing
7,600,000 in round numbers, and Min
nesota had 12,12.3,000 bushels, or 1,100,
000 more for the year. The three cen
tral-western states Ohio, Indiana, and
Illinois, raised 38,607,793 bushels, of
which Ohio had 17,277,920 bushels,
gaining 5,000, and the net gain for the
three was 8,565,388 bushels.
Taking the group of Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas and Nebraska, there was a
crop of 34,528,000 bushels, or 532,000
increase, Nebraska raising 7,354,000
bushels, 750,000 less than in 1903.
The two Dakotas raised 6,008,958 bush
els, gaining 227,340. The Pacific coast
states, with Idaho and Montana, grew
18,970,000 bushels, 1,928,000. less
than in 1905. The southern states, in
cluding all south of the Ohio river, also
those of the southwest and Texas,
raised 25,069,745 bushels, a decrease of
243,376. This means that there is to
be an outlet for the surplus in the
northwest and the southern trade is
now buying freely in Wisconsin and
Michigan to replenish their supplies.

THE VIDICNKSS OF IT.

1 he newspapers are being criticised,

spreading the story. They are doitijf
this to answer as well as they are able

papers surrender pages to it, and il
lustrate It liberally. There seems to
be no help for It. The Associated
Press has its best talent at work upon
it, and special writers, with reputa
tions known to literature, are employed
to add color to the shifting scenes of
the criminal court room. The result Is I
an exhibition of What tha newspapers
can do in the line of graphic reporting
and artistic decorating. It is a great
shame, to be sure. There ought to be
no such story to tell. The public has
waited for it impatiently since the
tragedy at the Madison Square Garden
roof theater, when the life of Stanford
White was sacrificed and Harry Thaw
went behind the bars to answer the
charge of murder. The circumstances
that led up to the crime are being
unraveled In court. Curious crowds
flock to hear the testimony, and mil
lions of people await the appearance
of the newspapers with the latest
from Justice Fitzgerald's dingy quar

the case. By no manner of means
could they be brought into agreement

cism of the newspapers is therefore
quite idle. The enormity of the thing
is in the life the trial reveals. It
may be no good will come of pub

be on the side of evil. The story is
not being exaggerated. It is not yel

Just as we rode in that sweet Other

The post for a saddle, the rail for a

On the banister's back let us fly with
all speed!
Let us gallop and canter and amble
and pace
Thru the Dining Room Common and
Sitting Room Pluce,
Down the wide hallway and up the
broad stair,
Right over the hurdles of sofa and

The banister steed is a wonderful nag.
He's away from the post at the fall of

He's down the sweet valley and over
the rill,
Across the green meadow and up the
steep hill
He leaps the wild torrent and fords
the swift stream.
Till he reaches the mystical country
of dream.
He's a war-horse, a charger, that car

With a rose on his breast to the tour
ney's delight.
Oh, the banister steed has a magical
way
Of traveling afar In the childiand of
play!
Up, up thru the window and out to the

The fairies have given him wings that

And he speeds to the castles where
dragons keep tryst
At the gates of the Princess, who
waits to be kissed

And shatters the spell of her grief and
her woes.

THE COOPER MEDICINE CO.,
GENTLEMEN:—nFor years I have
been a victim of stomach trouble.
Everything I ate disagreed with me and
I did not seem to derive any nourish
ment or strength from my food.
When I began taking Cooper's New
Discovery, I did not expect the results
would be different from all the other
medicines I had used, but before the
second bottle was gone, every trace of
my ailment had disappeared1 and I
could eat and enjoy a hearty meal, and
am gaining in strength and flesh.
Cooper's New Discovery is a splendid
remedy. I know that it cures stomach
trouble. Signed MRS. FRANK
WHALEY,
1021 Capitol Ave., Indianapolis, Ind.
Can You Eat and Enjoy a Hearty Meal?
If -not, then you need Cooper's New
Discovery. It builds up the gastric
juices of the stomach, so that food di
gests instead of fermenting, and the
blood receiving pure nourishment from
the digested food, instead of the poison
ous acid from food which has fer
mented, strengthens every organ of the
body thru which it flows.
PURE BLOOD IS THE LIFE.
COOPER'S NEW DISCOVERY
MAKES PURE BLOOD.
Cooper's New Discovery Costs $1.00
per bottle six for $5.00. Cooper's
