May cbanse HI. plan..

Sioux City journal: A Boston dis
patch states that j. j. Lentz, of Ohio,
is now on his way to Luzon as COM
mittee of one, representing the Anti
Imperialist league and the democratic
national committee, to gather cam
ipaign material at first hands. 1t is an
nounced that the program includes a
visit to Aguinaldo for the express pur-
pose OF getting an interview with the
insurgent leader. If the latter sugges-
tion should prove true it is possible
that Gen. Otis shall have something to
say about whether the Ohio congress
man shall be permitted to get near
enough to 'one of the heroes of the
world to give him any aid or comfort
in his war against the United States
government.

HOUSE WILL APPEAL.
Deposed Methodist Minister Declares
He Will Not Accept the YerllIct.

Sioux City, Sept. s9.-Rey. L. NJ.
House, of Ida Grove, who has been de-
posed from the ministry of the Metho-
dist church, says he will appeal his
case from the finding of the commit
tee appointed by the conference to try
the case.
It will go before what is called ju-
dicial conference composed of the trier
OF appeals in four neighboring confer
ences and which will probably be call
ed soon to review the case. In the
meantime Mr.. House stands deposed
from the ministerial office. It is not
thought he stands much chance of a
change of the verdict against him, as
the evidence was very direct and clear.
Rev. L. NJ. House has been pastor of
the M. r. church at Ida Grove for the
past two years. At his trial before
the select number appointed by the
conference it developed that he had
been writing letters of an amorous ma
ture to a young woman of Ruthven.
and passed himself off as an unmar-
ried man. 1t was charged that he was
attempting to seduce her, but this
could not be proven.
It seems that the correspondence be-
tween Mr.. House and the young wom-
an has been in progress for some time.
When his letters became quite amorous
she became alarmed, and, learning that
Mr.. House was married man, she
promptly turned his letters over to
Rev. o. S. Bryan, who Immediately
communicated with Rev. j. w. Lothi-
an, Houses presiding elder.
Mr.. House came to this conference
two years ago from Farmer City, ILL.,,
having been transferred in exchange
for A. S. Flanagan.
The committee has not yet reported
to the conference, but verdict has
been returned to the presiding officer
OF the trial, and Mr.. House is deposed
from the ministry.

Des Moines News: 1t adds to the
gaity of nations TO learn that Spain
will repudiate the interest on her Gu
ban bonds.
The Cuban bonds, we believe, are
held largely by French capitalists. AT
least that was the understanding DUR
ing the Spanish American war and
the fact was nsed to explain certain
sympathetic movements on the part of
the French government.
In the treaty of peace made at Paris
we explicitly stipulated that we would
not pay these bonds and therefore if
Snain wants to repudiate either princi-
pal or interest it is no special concern
of ours,

TEACHERS DECLARATION OF
PRINCIPLES.

f The National Educational associa-
ton, which assembled in its thirty
eighth annual convention at Los An
geles, CAL, this year, and represents
in the largest sense the teachers of the
United States, makes the following
declaration of principles:
''We re-affirm our belief that the
course of education, despite difficulties,
doubts and discouragements, is stead
lily upward and onward. The year
which has passed has been one of gem
uine progress. Sound educational
ideals are more firmly established, the
benefits of school and college educa-
ton are more widely diffused, the
work of teaching is more intelligent
and successful, the teachers themselves
constantly grow more earnest and
more studious. The one dark page in
the history of the year is that which
records interference with the work of
public education and attacks, success
full and unsuccessful, made upon it by
political traders and spoils seekers.
We appeal to the public and to the
press to resist, to resent and to pun
ish these attacks, and we pledge our
best efforts to the absolutely non-po-
iitical ana non-secrarian conduct of the
work entrusted to us.
eve record with gratitude our sense
of obligation to those noble men and
women who have held out generous
hand to education north, south, east
and west, and who, by their gifts and
endowments, have added SO much to
the Strengthening and upbuilding of
the various types of educational insti-
tutions, general and special, elemen-
tary and higher, throughout the land.
The influence of their example is wide
spread and the effectiveness of their
gifts is incalculable.
'sWe emphasize once more the func-
ton of the school, as community CEN
ter, to draw to itself the children and
the parents for gatherings which re-
fleet the life of the people and which
give it inspiration. Particularly in
close association with the library, the
school should make itself felt in shap-
ing the thought of the people in ways
and by methods which lie outside of
the scope of formal instruction,
Eve support cordially every effort to
elevate the profession of teaching by
raising the standards for entrance to
it, by promoting educational scholar
ship and by providing for stability and
tenure and for adequate compensation.
We are prepared to accept the compli-
mentary principle that inefficient and
incompetent teachers must yield to the
professional judgment which asks their
retirement from the school; and we
deplore any and every attempt, organ
lied or otherwise, to protect such
teachers in their posts by influence,
whether personal or political.
"We wish by every legitimate means
to aid the invaluable work of the bu-
reau OF education, and we ask that it
be given such support by congress as
will enable it to perform, with fullest
efficiency, the tasks entrusted to it.

Wants to be n nIar,yr.

Iowa Capital: Edward Atkinson is
doing his best to break into prison.
He appears to be eager to suffer for
what he says are his convictions, and
asks the government u make, martyr
of him. Atkinson is u ying to make
his actions toward the government so
hostile and his conduct toward the
president SO impudent that the strong
hand of the law will be placed upon
him. He is doing his best to have the
government take some notice of him,
and now fears that his seditious con-
duct will be tolerated. His latest ef-
fort is a pamphlet, the purpose of
which is to stop the supplies of money
and men for the conduct of the war
fare in the Philippines. Tagal Atkin-
son wants to send this pamphlet to
the American officers and soldiers and
the Filipinos, and has sent note to
that effect to the postmaster general.
The following paragraph from Atkin-
sons letter will give the reader an
idea of its character:
If you intend again to induce a
postmaster to violate the United
States mail, suggest that order be
given to the postmaster in Boston. TO
the end that / may notify him OF the
day and hour on which these docu-
ments will be mailed, so that if there
is any interference with my personal
rights / may take suitable measures
to enforce them"
Atkinson's insolence and reasonable
conduct may be overlooked by the gov
eminent officials, but the people have
placed the brand of eternal disgrace
upon him.

Treason noe. Not Cease.

Davenport Republican,: Although
Dreyfus has been tried and conyicted
of reasonable acts, it is reported
from reliable sources that Germany is
still receiving inside information about
the French army and the secret trials
OF artillery. Germany has been getting
such information for years, and will
continue to do so as long as the French
army officials are SO notoriously cor
rupt. Germany, however, has no pat
ent on this kind of property, for
France, it is claimed, imports the
same article from her neighbor on the
Rhine. The main trouble with both
these countries is that they are suffer-
ing from too much army.

The ottumwa police are to be con-
graduated on the watchfulness which
has kept the number of burglaries,
hold-ups and pocket-pickings this week
down to a number that could be sum-
med up on the fingers of one hand.
Since the fair proper began there have
been no hold-ups, and no burglaries,
and in all the crowds only one or two
cases OF pocket-picking. Thugs and
crooks have either stayed away from
iottumwa, or have been afraid to at
tempt to ply their vocation here.

been chosen as lay delegate to two
successive general conferences.

information that ''there is no question

Iowa is very much frightened over. the

As if this We're not startling enough,
it adds: "In fact, SO desperate have
they become that losing faith in their

to the Chicago Times-Herald to cham
pion their cause.' To say the least,
this is a little hard on the Times-

The Tnlelsever.

Iowa Capitals: Candidate Fred White
was in Des Moines today, and in reply
to the question of a reporter said that
he could not believe that Dewey had
said the things attributed to him in
the morning dispatches. Dewey will
probably astonish and disappoint the
Filipino sympathizers in many ways,
and just SO soon as it becomes certain
that his utterances can not be used to
further the interests of the democratic
party inthe campaign then may we ex-
pect to hear the democratic leaders de-
clare that Dewey is greatly overrated.

state and rederal.Llcense Of Trusts.

Marshalltown Iimes-Repulblican Tt
appears that the plan developed by
Bryan at the Chicago antitrust con
f,.ence for controlling trusts differs
materially from that embodied in the
st. Louis trust resolutions. Mr. BRYAN
would compel corporations to procure a
federal license before they should be
permitted to enter states other than
those where they are created; while by
the ST. Louis pronouncednent, where
southern and more democratic views
predominated, state regulation and
state license were favored It is true
that in the opening resolution the en-
actment and enforcement both by the
several states and the nation of legisla-
tion that shall adequately and fully de-
fine as crimes any attempted monopo-
lization or restraint of trade and pro-
vide for their punishment was adyocat-
ed, the following and more specific dec
larations provide for state control and
state license of all corporations seeking
to enter other states than their own,
the resolution in question recommends
ing Legislation that would make it
mandatory upon corporations seeking
to engage in business outside the state
OF their creation that they procure Ii
censes from the foreign state as a con-
dition precedent to their entry into such
state" etc. Here then is a radical DIFF
ference between Mr.. Bryan's trust rem
edy and that of the states rights demo-
Gratis assembled at st. Louis. Whether
this is intended as rebuke to Mr..
Bryan OF is only another cropping in
the dark" after the elusive remedy, it
shows a want of harmony in methods
and that Mr.. Bryan has not reached a
real democratic conclusion in his plan.

Fred and HI. Friends.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil: Fred
White, of course, sympathizes with the
Filipinos in their attempt to abolish
the United States navy as he advocated
that policy on the floor of congress
long before the Spanish attempted to
put that policy in force. They having
failed, it must delight him to see that
the Filipinos have taken up the work
and have succeeded in doing away with
one boat, even if it was only a little
one.
