from the islands and from anti-expan-

of the people of the entire Philippine
group of 500 hundred islands, with the
exception of the Tagalogs, who COM
prise one-half the island of Luzon, are
neutral. The natives of the other
islands, who are nomnally in revolt,
are in fact only terrorized and coerced
by the Tagalogs. The Sulu group. COM
prising the southern third of the Phil

He declares that the difficulties in the

the islands is the thing to be desired by

says, are desirable sort OF people anc

The Russian apples taken as whole
are much inferior in quality to those of
American origin and will not keep so

hardness and adaptability to northwest

the northward extension of the apple

The Ackley World expresses the opin-
ion that the demand for men at the
Marshalltown glucose works is not so
much in evidence of good times. as it is
OF stinks that drive men away after a
brief experience. We have had no ex-
perience with glucose smells. Perhaps
everybody would prefer work in a CO.
logne factory, but there are no real
sweet smells in a soap factory, in a
glue factory in a tannery, and some
times scavengers4 have disagreeable
jobs, but we have never known of a
lack of men, or of a refusal to work,
because the smells We're not savory.
We do not believe the Worlds point is
well taken.-Waterloo Reporter.
The World is in error in stating that
stinks drive the men away, though it
is an undesirable kind of work in hot
weather that is the cause Of the trouble
The Marshalltown glucose establish
ment employs about 300 men, and, OF
course, some parts of its work are
more severe than others Among the
number employed are possibly forty
stokers or firemen, including day and
night shift. On account of the demand
for laborers on every hand the man

WAS 1T DESIGN?

In the coming political campaign in
Iowa there can be no legitimate appeal
to national or race preference or preju-
dice. The fact that the democratic
nominee. Mr.. White, is known as a Ger
man-American, counts as nothing for
or against him. He is an American
citizen and as such stands before the
people. The selection of Mr.. White and

lations which have uniformly obtained

many may have been the result of a
special design, and may have particu-
lar significance, but if so it is unfortu-
nate in that it would offend as many as
it might please. No political party has
right to appeal to or to antagonize a
particular class of citizens. AS We'll
stated by an eastern writer, we consid-
err no hyphenated citizenship in this
country, such as German-Americans or
Irish Americans. Men are either Amer
leans or they are foreigners. Patriotism
will tolerate no half and half class.
Mr.. White is an American citizen. He
may be a worthy man in his relations tc
his fellows and to the public, but he is
the recognized head of a party that
plants itself upon a platform that is OBJ
jectionable to a majority of the citizens
of Iowa, and he viii therefore be repu.

THE NEIV SOUTH WOM1NHOOD.

BY JOSIE FRAZEE CAPPLEMAN.
A type is she of womanhood,
OF Southern woman fair and good
And gentle dignity;
A manner full of grace and ease,
And pretty woman-ways that please,
Insweet simplicity.
A heart with constancy a-tune,
And touched all tendcrly so soon
AS pity makes its plant;
A hand that softly doth inclose
The worn and weary in their woes,
And firm lives makes of faint.
A character that naught can quail
That's strong and brave where these
avail,
In Judgment, kind and just;
Whose life, as daily it unrolls,
Bespeaks one of these peerless souls
In whom all hearts may trust
The worlds proud deeds within the past,
The marked events that follow fast
For her are frequent food;
Refinement, culture are her share,
And honored is she everywhere
This New South womanhood.
For such is Southern womanhood
That's fresh and fair and pure and good
That's strangely old, yet new;
Such is, in truth, type to-day
That's with us, and will be alway,
So long as truth is true.

other visitors gentleman noted for
volubility. When the parrot first
heard him it listened in silence for
some time, then, to the amazement Of,
all present, it said very emphatically,
"YOu talk too much!" The gentle
man, at first embarrassed, presently
resumed his interrupted discourse.
