Alexander's Great
The August Clearance Sale
ALL Ih rough July the work of clearing
pununcr stocks of odl lots and broken
assortments has been going on vigor
ously. Xow comes tlie August clearance sale,
in which every vestige of summer merchandise
must find a new owner, for as those who are
acquainted with Alexander's Department Store
well know, it is not the store's policy to carry
seasonable merchandise from one year to the
next.
Price concessions in all lines of summer
goods are now most lilieral, and from day to
day the lots will grow considerably less.
Those who come early in the sale have the
advantage of better assortments on this account.
Today's advertisement can tell of only a part
of this store's offerings, and the same will be
true of other advertisements that follow during
the sale. Many choice things, especially in
small lots, will be advertised only by the sign
cards that mark their display.
Late summer and early fall needs can be
sup died now at notably small cost, and in
some instances it will even pay to buy for next
spring's use if present needs are supplied.

Lisbon. A great find of treasure
has been made at Alcazaba. Centur
ies ago a castle was built to defend
the town against the MooVish Invad
ers. Recently the tower fell and some
of tlie stones burled a house, killing
two of the occupants and Injuring
seven others.
Thereupon the authorities decided
to demolish the castle, and during
excavations iii the deep dungeons a
number of skeletons, evidently prison
ers who had died In goal, were
brought to light. Two Iron chests
were also unearthed and they were
found to be full of old Spanish and
Portuguese gold and silver coins. At
the bottom of tho chest were a num
ber of gold and silver bnrs. Tlie
whole is estimated to be worth, over

there I hope 'hey will lie buried for
ever. Ail that was good ?n the bill was
car-ful!y preserved, and all that was
bad was either wholly rejected or ma
terially modified.
lt'iniT(le the Hill,
With the. Introduction of the bill
there began sueh a struggle as has
hf-en rar!y witnessed between the
forces of progress and reaction. The
progressive republicans did not get all
they wanted, nor all they ought to
have had. but they succeeded in con
verting a measure which in its or
iginal form would. nave been a long
step backward into a measure that
Is a gratifying step forward.
We earnestly contended that no in
creases in rates should hen -after go
into effect until approved by the
commission. This seems fair and
just, Inasmuch as the carriers made
the rates that arc- now in force, and
it may, therefore, be assumed that
they are remunerative.
We failed in that effort, but as a
substitute f-r it, it was provided that
the commission can suspend new
ra'es for a period of ten months, and
that In all hearings as to the reason
ableness of rates the burden of proof
shall rest upon the railway compa
nies. 'We insisted that no injunction re
straining an order of the commission
should be issued without notice, and
that there should be the right of ap
peal from any such injunction. The
billMv.as so amended.
We contended that the shipper who
had complained to the interstate com
merce commission, and had won his
case, should have the right to appear
in any suit that was brought by the
railway companies to annul his vic
tory. It is now in the law.
Wre urge 1 that no greater jurisdic
tion over the interstate commerce
commission should be conferred upon
the commerce court than is now ex
ercised by the circuit courts, and the
bill was s.j amended.
We kept the anti-trust law Intact.
We remembersd that it had dissolved
two vicious traffic associations; that
It had annihilated the Xorthern Se
curities company; that it had decreed
the death of the American Tobacco
company, and, finally, had sent the
terror of disintegration into the ranks
of the Standard Oil company, and we
did not intend to see its vigor Impair
ed or its scope narrowed until some
thing better could be enacted In its
stead.
We attempted, with all the strength
we had, to put into the bill a fair and
effectual provision which would have
prevented the issuance of stocks and
bonds without full compensation, and
that would have renflerea impossible
liereafter the exhibitions of dishon
esty and extravagance that have so
startled the world in the last few years
in railway capitalization.
Wall Street Interests.
Certain republicans who are en
amored with the manipulations of
Wall street, joining themselves with
certain democrats who found no au-
thoritv in the constitution for such
legislation, defeated our amendment
We are not, however, without hope
for under the recommendation of the
president a provision was adopted
which will insure an immediate In
vestigation of the subject, and we
may shortly be more successful in our
efforts to regulate railway stocks and
bonds.
Upon the whole, the republican par
ty is to be congratulated upon the
b'll. as it became a law. It is a step
in the right direction, and ultimately
we will reach the end toward which
nil parties are striving.
I trust I will not be accused of any
desire to stir up factional feeling for
it not been for the progressive repub
licans in the senate, men who have
been derided throughout the country
as insurgents, the bill would have
passed the senate as it came from the
pen of tho attorney general, and the
republican party would have staggered
along in th's lampaign under a bur
den too heavy for any party to suc
cessfully carry.
Postal Ranks.
Our platform of 1908 committed
the party to the establishment of pos
tal savings institutions.- It is proba-!-iv.
true that Iowa needed such fa
cilities for saving less than any other
state in tho union but nevertheless,
I am convinced that the policy is a
wise one.
There are many parts of the coun
try in which the banks are neither a
numerous nor so near the people as
thry are in Iowa, nnd whatever wo
can do to encourage and stimulate h:.
bits of saving and thrift we ought to
do.
The law passed by congress ha. in
my opinion two serious defects which
ought to be removed at the earliest
I nn tit able moment.
First, we have given to the boar!
of trustees, which is to manage 'be
postal depositories, the discretion to
dessgnate such postoffices as it sees
fit. This discretion will be a never
ending irritation. It goes without
saying that the banks In anv com
munity will not favor the designa
tion of the postoffice in that com
munity as a depository. It will be
saying, as I am bound to - ly, that had
natural for the banks to resist be
cause the depositories are in a sense,
competitors in buslnes. Therefore,
the board will be from the beginning
the focal point of all the political In
fluence that the batiks can arouse ,
and direct.
Tile law should be air-nded so that
depositories ar M-lectvd ly some
standard, either of popn'.-stlor: or o
business, which could bt applied In
flexibly to the whole country.
Second, the most serious objection
to the law will be found In the dis
position of the money a.':,.r it Is gath
ered at the poHtoffiees. t ntll a lew
weeks before the bill parked it had
never been suggested th;.t the money
s taken in at the postoffice was, un
der any circumstances, t be removed
from the communities in -. hich it was
gathered, except as it w .' t. out under
the ordinary laws of commerce and
trade.
The subject has been Considered by
more than one postniajt-r general,
bills had been introduce 1, and reports
made by committees, but it had nevjr
been intimated that it would be witte
to withdraw and invest iht-m In gotr
ernment bonds. Our platform was
bottomed upon the fundamental idea
that the money put in the postoffices
should not be withdrawn by the gov
ernment from that community.
The power of the east ever the. west
in controlling the supply of money is
already too great, and what we have
done will add immeasurably to the
eastern influence.
Protect Country Ranks.
In my judgment, if we want to pop
ularize postal savings depositories,
and allow them to fulfill the purposes
we have had in view, we must speed
ily amend the law so that the coun
try banks will not be injured, and so
that money will be permitted to per
form its full functions in the locali
ties to which it naturally flows.
In this connection I must be per
mitted to dwell upon the proposition
for a central bank. It will soon be' a
live question in American politics, and
it is high time that republicans should
give it that fireside consideration
which in the end settles all pubic
problems. Leaders may fret and
fume about It; they may write books
about it; committees and commis
sions may sit upon it; the Congres
soinal Record may be filled with
pages concerning If, but finally the
quiet reflection of the farm and fac
tory; the shop and store, the street
corner and the roadside will enter tha
judgment.
The proposal has not yet taken def
inite form, but it Is in the air that a
central bank shall be established wita
the sole power of Issuing paper mon
ey and of determining therefore how
much money at any given time we
shall have, and how it shall be dis
tributed. I do not say that I will oppose a
central bank but I do say that I will
oppose any bank with the powers that
I have described, for if that misfor
tune should befall us we would suf
fer a financial slavery more complete
even than the industrial servitude
which now afflicts us.
In the consolidation of the great
banks now In progress we see the
preparation of such a condition. Al
ready a dozen men, or less, can exert
an influence which makes the country
tremble in apprehension of their
mighty strength, and if we permit
them to enlarge their authority we
will richly deserve the subjugation
which will follow.

KITCHEN Ell OUT OF ARMY.
Socks Residence for Ensuing Period
of Idleness.
London. Lord Kitchener is quite
reconciled to a period of idleness from
military employment and is now seek
ing a house where he can take up his
permanent residence. This will be
somewhere within easy reach of Lon
don, and will be surrounded by large
gardens. One of Kitchener's favorite
pastimes is gardening, and he hopes
to be able to give full play to this
in the future.
He also proposes to provide a per
manent home for his large and ex
tremely valuable collection of old
china. This collection is especially
rich in specimens of eastern pottery
ware, and received some considerable
additions when he visited China and
Japan a short time ago. So soon as
he has obtained his house Lord Kitch
ener proposes to have this collection
systematically catalogued and valued
by experts. Beyond obtaining this
house he has absolutely no plans for
the future; but some years ago he
informed a group of friends that in
the event of his ever being without
military employment he might turn to
the city for something with which to
occupy his mind and his time; and it
may be that this is what he will now
do."
