Poor old Des Moines, not long ago we
had to record its sad experience with
His Worshipful Highness Count Wach-
melster, but not satisfied with this bit
ter taste of aristocracy Des Moiues raj
lied to its attack on the effete monar-
chles again last week when it was
learned that the Royal Gaurdz' Band of
"Lunnun" was to favor Des Moines
with concert. Des Moines appreciated
the honor and it was determined to
greet the band IN splendid style. The
Des Moines Union band was to meet
the guests, fifty boys were gathered to
march, carrying the stars and stripes
and British Union Jack. All citizens
OF Des Moines who had been in Lon
don were invited to join the parade. A
photograph of Des Moines leading
citizen and photograph of one of the
lama county Indians was to be pre-.
sented to the band master with the re-
quest that they be in turn presented to
the queen SO that she might see how
greatly Dies Moines had advanced dur
ing the fifty years of its existence. To
make long story short the purpose of
this Anglo-Des Moines, alliance was
thwarted but not through any fault of
Des Moines. The'delegation of promi-
nent citizens to carry the bands bag
gage. the Des Moines band and the
boys with their mixed flags were on
hand, but no band in gorgeous red ap-
peared. The 'Lunnoners'' had quietly
left their train and proceeded to the
various hotels without taking notice of
the grand and beautiful display of
Anglo.Des Moines sentiment. Col.
Godfrey, the leader Of the band, when
asked to get his men together to march
with the escort simply said, I'VE are no
circus, we do give street parades. we
give concerts Thus rudely did the
representative of the British lion sit
down on the tail of the Des Moines
eagle, leaving the band, the flag bows.
the leading citizen and the "We'ye
been to London" club in tears on the
pavement. 1t is now said that the
name of Des Moine's favorite resort
will be changed from .sWhite Chapel,
to 1.-The Bowery'' in order to show
Queen Vic how bitterly Des Moines re-.
sents the insult.

Briton. Unable to speak English.

1t is not generally realized what q
large number Of Britons, born and bred
at home, have never succeeded in mas
tering the national language. In Wales.
according to the last census taken, there
are no fewer than sos, O36 people who
cannot speak English. Welsh being their
only language. In Scotland there are
43, 73s persons who can speak nothing
but Gaelic. And in Ireland there are
80. 1911 who can express themselves only
in the Irish tongue. OF course. these
are mostly I'D people, and English is
gradually dislodging the native Ian
guages of Ireland and Wales.
1t is a curious circumstance that
while in Wales fewer people speak both
English and Welsh than Welsh only, in
Scotland neatly five times as many use
both languages as those speaking Gaelic
alone. while in Ireland 30 times as
many speak English and Irish as those
who speak Irish only.

ANENT THE DECISION.
(Communicated.)

EDITOR REvIEw:-I was very much
surprised to learn the decision Of the
judges in the Northwestern Iowa Ora
torical Contest held at Denison on Fri.
day night last, awarding first prize to
Mr.. Weir of Buena Vista College and
second prize to Mr.. Hardy of Denison
College.
/ was present at the contes tbut left
the hall before the announcement of
the decision of the judges. Quite a
number of others had left the hall at
about the same time. At least half a
dozen students from Buena Vista and
Sac City Colleges expressed themselves
to me, saying that there was no doubt
that Mr.. Hardy would be awarded first
prize as he had walk-away. They
further said that it was very likely that
Mr.. Romans would get second prize.
They thought it was too bad that Deni-
son should carry off both first and sec
ond honors. When they learned the
decision a few minutes afterwards.
awarding Buena Vista College first
prize. they were apparently as much
surprised as / was.
l have heard that many of the stu
dents from Sac City and Storm Lake,
taking it for granted that Mr.. Hardy
would be awarded first prize, as they
thought he was entitled to it, had taken
off their colors prior to the announce
ment of the decision and substituted
the red of Denison, wishing to join in
the jolification with the Denison
victoIs.
Ed. The above voices the opinion of
nine-tenths of those who attended the
contest Friday night. Not only the
.,e.. son people but the visitors conf
IDENTITY expected Hardy to win after
hearing his magnitcs MT Grafton. 1t is
not good policy to "kick" but in this
the injustice was so rank that our dis
approval is justified.

One important question to come be-

Illinois Central is to occupy the old
road by the gravel pit and this neces-

interested in this matter and if Denison
had such a thing as a business mems
association We would urge that COM

the new road be made equally convent

best route for the new road would be

Pretty poor Picking..

The following story must be true,

clever school principals, who claimed to

thirst for information, who was tex

Here's a picture called 'Millet, -"

The Times is making no mistake
III this. Denver is an ideal con-
vention city, and the people of the
cast will gladly forego the pleas
ures of the eastern metropolises
for the destinations of Colorado

benefits to our state arise from
such an arrangement. The wild

exist in the minds of many east-
erners, and much prejudice aris-
ing from such perverted notions
can be overcome by these infiuxes

in this city, distance of n couple
of miles, but now Fort Myer, four
miles from the War department,
has been reached. 1t is proposed

the superior advantages enjoyed
by the students of the Colorado

eminence which its graduates are

news to all who have seen this
great show or familiarized them
selves with its claims to unrivalled
fame. Some idea of the size and
scope of the exhibition can be
gained from the fact that five
trains of double length railroad
cars are required to transport it
from city to city, while the per-
formances are given in three rings,
upon two stages, in mid-air and

menagerie is the most complete
geological collection in America,
the hippodrome is an actual repro
duction of the exciting contests of
old Rome, and the arenic perform
ance is so vastly superior to any
thing ever before seen in this
country as to create n distinct de-
parture in this form of popular
entertainment. The acrobats, gym
