EASTERN OFFICE R. J. Shannon, Manager, Brunswick building, New York, N. Y. LIFE IN "POLITICS. There is much dignified writing be ing done at this time to prove that a crime has been committed by some re publicans in the retirement of Con gressmen Cousins and Blrdsall. Plain ly speaking, the charge is that Cum mins men have again been very, very wicked. l.aineiiWitin is given voice in many a newspaper. But what harm has been done? These men had been fully honored. The way was open for them to enter the primaries, if there were republicans in their district inclined to support some other candidate, or disinclined to support them, is nut that the way of all politics? Why should it be strange mat after men had served many terms •in congress other men sho'uld covet the honors? And after many years of con tinuous service, why should it be con sidered an unhealthy condition of poli tics that voters should turn to new men in preference? When the old has to give way to the new in life, it al ways seems cruel to the old, whether it be the son succeeding the father or the sapling displacing the giant of the iorest, but it is as nature intended it should be. It is growth, and growth is life. AVould we have our politics dead? WOULD BEAT GOOD WITH TREWIN. As predicted in the Tinies-Republi '•y can several weeks ago would be done, l.. the standpat faction in republican pol- pose I k* I Kk £&» fe ft Wl A l'Wi vt flit* & T* Sh/^V itics has brought out its candidate for increased slightly during the past few congress to defeat Mr. Good.

Mr. Trewin has agreed to make the light. The standpatters of the east end of the district are thus organized to accomplish their pur- There was never a cleaner cut issue. The republican vote in Cedar and Jones and Benton counties is about equal'to the republican vote* in Grun dy and Tama and Marshall counties. In the .former group it is overwhelm ingly standpat, and in the latter group it is equally as strongly progressive. The vote in Linn county will determ ine the issue and the factional line-up there, has be^n such as to favor Mr. Trewin, while, the personal popularity ahd individual merit of the candidate favors Mr. Good. Trewin, when in the Xoted men in all parts of the coun ty have expressed their opinions freely upon this case among which are the following: "I believe you to be an innocent wan and you have suffered far too much already for a crime you-never committed."—Bishop C. C. McCabe. "The trials of Caleb Powers make .' an exhibition of misconduct on the -part of administrative officers con nected with these trials which may ''well shock all who love justice."—Su 'preme Court of the United States. :'The whole civilized world stood aghast at the iniquity practiced in the name of justice at the strial of Drey fus, but that trial sinks intq^lnsignifi- 1 cance when, compared with the trials of Caleb Powers."—J. M. Sheets, at V, torney general of Ohio. "I am a Virginian by birth, a demo crat by inheritance, and followed Stonewall Jackson four years in the lost cause, but I have a profound sym ??j) pathy for Powers. I dp riot believe that he ,'has had a fair trial. I believe state senate, was one of the ablest being reported. Eastern change is and most influential lieutenants that the old Hubbard-Blythe -regime ever had, and he will have to face hig leg islative record in this campaign. The situation,- however, should be so apparent as to convince favorite which have heretofore been slow. Or son candidates that this is no oppor- ,jers for spring and early summer de 'tune time for them. The standpatters ol" the east end of the district have de termined to center on Trewin, of Ce dar Rapids, to beat dood, of Cedar Rapids, and there is no other purpose. Good came out to beat Cousins when Trewin lacked either the desire or the courage. Cousins turned tail and ran, then Trewin was brought out by a conference for the purpose of beating Good. It is all legitimate. It is poli tics. Play the game. THE CASE OF CALEB POWERS. People who have read the newspaper and magazine accounts of the many trials of Caleb Powers in Kentucky, charged with being an accessory to the killing of the alleged governor elect of that state, many years ago, will be surprised to know that, even tho the verdicts of the lower courts have been set aside by the supreme court of that state three times, the young man still remains in prison de nied hail and exhausted in resources with which to fight his case. An ap peal is to be made in every state in the union for petitions addressed to the present governor of Kentucky asking for the pardon of Powers. Jihn II. Ranking him to be an innocent man.' Leathers, Cashier National Company, Louisville, Ivy. "The Powers case is mt Die case of Caleb Powers alone. It is potentially the case of every Kentuckian. Here is a .man. who liy the sheer influence of political control, working thru the courts of law and corrupting tlieir ev ery process, has been three tini^s con victed of a capital crime on evidence which no unprejudiced court could pos sibly linil sufficient."—AlcClure's Jhlag dzine. "I do not believe that a man charg ed with a political offense, or with ail offense originating in a political con test, who is tried by a jury composed wholly of his political opponents, can have a fair and impartial trial within the meaning of the law. Those con versant with current history have seen a highly civilized, and generous people under stress of racial passion condemn without proof, a soldier charged with a political crime, and sentence him without mercy to a pun ishment: worse than death, and yet when the storm had spent it- force, that judgment was annulled, the vic tim released and all the woild now knows his innocence."—Judge Barker, a Goebel democrat member of the Kentucky Court of Appeals. It seems strange that the people of Kentucky have not found some way in which to free their courts of the suspicion of political prejudice in the trial of this man. The present gov ernor could contribute notably to the majesty*of the law if he would submit the evidence before a special tribunal of governors of other states t.nd per- him in granting or withholding a par don for the prisoner. The land of the night-riders needs to do something to regain the respect of the country at large. BUSINESS AT LEADING POINTS.

Woodworking branches are now drawing upon ca pacity to a larger extent than a month ago, which creates a better tone in lumber dealings and prices.

Periander had taken charge of the popular amusements of Corinth and had suppressed the majority of them. "August tyrant," said a delegation of society leaders from the gulf shore drive, who had called to protest against his high danded action, "may we ask why you have done this?" "I have done it. ladies." said Peri ander, "because, in my capacity as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece, I think it best. Good morning." For he did not deem it prudent to tell them, that in watching their card games he had detected symptoms of a tendency to invent the gtjne of bridge whist. i* i-'1 ,-T' 1 Topics of the Tines In Ceorgia I lie democratic party is controlled by the progressive faction, and nominations are to be made by a primary with campaign expenses pub lished. The result of caucuses in Tama county means that the majority senti ment of the county is, determined to have itself correctly represented in party affairs. Tama county is for Taft and progressive in politics. Prohibitionists can see some com pensation in a race problem. Judge Hubbard is dcaJ. and Jim Trewin hopes thai the politics of his lime will be forgotten. John .Mitchell, president, of the 1'iiii ed .Mine Workers, when asked in re gard to rumors that a movement was started at the recent mine workers' convention to indorse the candidacy of certain aspirants for the presidency of the I'liited Stales and other political offices, has said that so far as he knew there was no foundation for these rumors. lie said, however, that the members of the miners' union, togeth er with all trade unionists affiliated with the American Federation of La- mit their volunteer verdict to govern to all legislative, judicial and bor. were actively interesled in the administrative offices of men who were known to be sympathetic t* the reasonable denihnds of the wage earners of the country. Transatlantic steamship lines have met in conference at London and formed a gentleman's agreement not to cut rates. Those with Europesan trips in mind should take notice. Let us remember that Jim Good and Charlie Pickett and Burton Sweet are all republicans fully entitled to aspire to office. If Cousins and Blrdsall are afraid to go against them in the pri maries, certainly the other fellows should not be blamed for any wrong doing. Let us be careful lest famil iarity with perpetuity in office breed contempt. IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES. Speaking of Cousins' retirement the Glidden Grapnic says: "Robert assigns as a reason that he must devote his time to looking after personal busi ness. There are several persons in the state, however, who believe that the primary law and the 'rodents of re form' have had something to do with bringing about such a conclusion." "In the midst of much that is dis couraging in some aspects of civil af fairs in Iowa, it is worth noting that the mulct law is being obeyed in Iowa today tor the first time since it has been put on the statute books," says the Rockford Register. "And not only this, but a host of notorious gambling dens in different towns in the state haVe been compelled to shut up shop as a result of stringent orders which have been issued by the heretofore very inoffensive attorney general, Mr. Byers." To the Coon Rapids Enterprise "it begins to look as tho the affinity case between Cottrel! and Mrs. Hough was a deep laid scheme on the part of Hough and his wife to bleed Cottrell for a small fortune. It is reported that Hough and Cottrell are trying to reach a settlement basis without the embarrassing process of a trial. Rich men, like pretty girls, have a great many temptations if they happen to be light headed." "The prospect for democratic har mony in Iowa would be materially pro moted If George F. Rbinehart could be induced to spend the remainder of the year in Europe," is the belief of the •Sioux City Journal. "Any other district shy on congres sional limber?" inquiries the Cedar Rapids Gazette. "The Fifth can fill any aching void." "Dave Brant has offered the first worthy suggestion on the currency question," says the Mt. Vernon Record. "He suggests that the newspapers be allowed to Issue emergency currency whenever they get hard up." The Ogden Reporter has discovered that "the news of the considerable re duction in the price of Iumher by the lumber trust for the coming year will be hailed with delight by every man who is contemplating building this year. The high price of lumber and material had become almost prohibi tive and was certain to curtail build ing operations all over the country. This reduction, amounting to but from two to five dollars per thousand feet will have an important bearing upon building operations this summer." 1 H* W 1 I II LOOKER-ON IN IOWA Allison, Feb. 11.—"Some people say the reason that railroads are laying off so many men is spite work on account of the two-cent rate befog forced upon them. But if all stations are a,s the. one at this place, they have a far dee.per-seated reason. The agent here Informed,the writer that the ex port freight for the month of Decem ber was $800 less than for December of the year before." This from a Dike correspondent explains a pretty general situation in Iowa. First and foremost Is the fact that the crops of Iowa this year will nearly all be fed at home. What goes to market will be in the shape of live stock. Again the price of corn is so high, that much less stock is being shipped into Iowa to be fat tened. Another thing that makes the freight traffic much less is the mild winter up to February 1st, which, of course, materially decreases the coal consumed. There is no reason to doubt that the railroads in Iowa are haul ing much less freight than usual dur ing the winter months. But passenger travel, especially local, is good. The two-cent fare 'has increased the num ber of passengers, locally. Trains are crowded every Saturday, going to the larger towns to trade. There were forget the bank and don't care all the "Yes, sir," said tho country mer chant, for the first time in my life I went to a show in MarshalUown the other Sunday night. My wife was with me, and we both were half ashamed to be there. It seemed kinder wicked, something disgraceful, wife said wished she had a veil, 'fraid somebody from our town would see us and go back and tell on us. But honestly, I can't see the harm in a Sunday theater if the plays are all like that one. I tell you, the boys and girls there, and there were lots of 'em, never heard a better sermon than those actors and actresses preached. Of course, vice was punished and virtue rewarded, as always is done in the piay, but you ought to have seen the way the ap plause was'given every time when the villain got what was cumin' to him. My wife usually wipes away tears when she goes to any show, but this time she actually cried, and I had a lump in my throat once, but she don't know it. I can't say I'm ready yet to have Sunday theaters in our town, but I know everybody in that audience heard as straight talk on that stage as ever came from a preacher's lips. And I know if some of the girls and boys of this town had seen that play on Sunday night, it would have set them a thinkin' about some things they do here. And do you know, 1 was ac tually surprised at the kind of people in a show Sunday night. I supposed all the toughs in town, male and fe male, would be there. Well, if they were I don't know them when I see t'neni. Just as good looking people there as go to our church Sunday night." These quoted words are not intended to invite any discussion con cerning Sunday "shows." They give merely a view point otherwise not un derstood. The Anticipated Interruption. (Washington Star.) F. M. Bradley, the noted superin tendent of the Sons of Temperance, was talking at a local hotel about tem perance orators. "The temperance orator of today," he said, "is always sure of a respect ful hearing. In the past it was not so. At the beginning of the temperance movement drinking men came to our meeting for no other purpose than to Interrupt and confuse. The orator had to be very careful in his remarks. He had to look out lest he give his hearers an opening for some opportune but ribald interruptions." Mr. Bradley gave a loud laugh. "I remember," he said, "when they began temperance work here in Wash ington. A series of meetings was held in a large hall. The audiences were always numerous, but they interrupted horribly. In tho end an ex-prize fighter was hired to sit every night In the obstreperous gallery and keep or der there. "Well, one night the orator con trasted the clean content of home life with the. squalor of drunkenness. He spoke beautifully and at his climax he cried, in ringing, impassioned tones: 'What do we want when we return from our daily toil? What do we de sire to ease our burdens, to gladden our hearts, to bring smiles to our faces and song to our lips?' "Here the orator paused for effect and the conscientious prize fighter tip toed hurriedly to the front of the gal lery, shook his finger at his unruly charges, and said in a threatening stage whisper: 'Mind, the first feller among ye wot says "Beer!"—oit he goes!'" Why Lawyers Are Few in Germany. (Washington Post) "Lawyers form a very small percent age of the professional men of Ger many," said Charles P. Bergen. a young lawyer of Montreal. Canada, who has spent several months in Ger many, where he investigated the pro cedure of the courts. "In a city of 11.000 people found only four attorneys." continued Mr. Bergen, "and every one of them seem to have time to devote to his afternoon walks in the forests where I frequently met them. When I inquired tho reason for so few lawyers I was told that the number of civil cases coming to them liad been reduced to the minimum be cause every case of t'liat kind was first to be tried by three councillators ap pointed by the- mayor of the city. "If the judgment of these concilia tors is not accepted by one of the par ties to the sui: the case can be taken to court.

The Uniform Cost Him $1,000. (From the Washington, P. C. Star.) That it is a dangerous experiment to take any portion of the equipment of a soldier as collateral for a loan was found out recently by George Myers, who keeps a saloon in Prince George county, Maryland, a short distance nway from the government reservation at Fort Washington. Several months ago, it is stated, a soldier stationed at Fort Washington gave Myers an armv overcoat as collateral for a debt of $2 for goods purchased from Myers. The coat was missed and the company first sergeant made an investigation. He found the coat at Myer's place, and at his request it was turned over to him. The matter was reported to the war department by the officer in charge at Fort Washington, and the war depart ment called the attention of the T'nlted States district attorney at Baltimore to the case. Prosecution In "the Un ited States distric court followed, and at last term at Baltimore Myers en tered a plea of guilty. A fine of $1,000, the lowest penalty allowed under the statutes, was imposed, and Myers paid his line. Flying Letter Boxes. The Hungarian postal department has devised a flying letter box to re lieve the Buda-Pesth postmen, who are few in number and have hundreds of tfighls of stairs to climb daily in the great tenement houses of that pictur esque city. For the elevator, or "lift,'' as it Is called in the old world, is not one of the commonplace of everyday existence on the remote Asiatic bor ders of Europe, and heretofore the de livery of leters to the tenants on the upper floors iof these ancient buildings base made the Buda-Pesth postman's llfti, a most fatiguing one. The new letter box, however, can be sent up to its destination from the ground floor by a spring. It stops at the floor required, and remains there until it Is emptied, or until the next delivery, when the postman can, by touching a button, bring it down again. Each box contains the necessary num ber of lockers, each fitted with a safe ty lock, according to the number of residents. The boxes are moved up and down by electricity, and probably bear a close resemblance, except in size, to the flying cash boxes now com monly used in the larger shops of Am erican cities. One Lesson From the Panic. (Philadelphia Inquirer.) The lesson to be impressed upon the public, and especially the banking fra ternity, is that banking is an inde pendent profession. The man who does not give his efforts wholly and singly to his bank is not fitted for his posi tion. The opportunities to use power and money to advance personal for tunes are many. They are often used without loss, but it seems certain that there are few men who can step a lit tle outside the plain path of duty and not go a good ways farther than they originally intended. Primarily, the troubles of last fall were due to enor mous speculation, and the speculation was possible because bankers were either speculating on their own ac count or were allowing speculators to use the funds which ought to have been used for legitimate business only. Lawsuit 122 Years Old. (New York World.) A case which has dragged thru the courts of Massachusetts for 122 years has been finally closed by the decree of Judge Grant in the probate court, directing William W. Risk, public ad ministrator in nine estates, to pay to the state treasurer the sum of .$10,:i56. The estates represented were those of nine men, creditors of the estate of Ellis Gray, a Boston merchant, who died in 17S6, and whose estate was in process of administration for fifty years. While the estate was still in the probate court in 1 S:iS, deposits were made in a bank by order of the court for ihe benefit of the nine cred itors. but neither they nor their heirs could ever be found. The deposits ac cumulated to $10,356. On the Briny Deep.
