The Midland Monthly, since its re-
mOval to st. Louis, is much changed.
1t is now not only representative of the
west in literature, but also of the south,
and is, we think, more entertaining and
instructive thereby. In the last mum
Der Johnson Brigham has IL discrim,
mating article on Twentieth Century
journalism. Among the many good
things in the number is an article ON
the Divorce of Southern Capital from
Labor, by Ben T.. Green, which is in
teresting rs coming from the stand,
point of one evidently 8choolcd in the
lines peculiar to the south alone.

Col. Henderson has practically won
the sperkership of congress. The
Office is one of great influence, second
only in Importance to that of president.
Iowa fully appreciates the honor. Now
that it has been about as good as won
it is surely appropriate to allude to
the reasons why our state has secured
it. Henderson was supported, as soon
as the contest opened, by united and
loyal Iowa delegation. These other
ten congressman are mostly men of
much influence and ability in congress.
Then all Iowa was enthusiastic for him.
Henderson himself was popular with
the members of congress as he is with
everybody. He possesses those quail
ties of sociability, of gallantry and
of generosity that make him friends
everywhere. But his strongest point,
and the one without which he must
have failed, was his long experience.
He has had sixteen continuous years
of service in the house which puts him
among the old members. 1t has given
him familiarity with matters of legisla-
ton and with the ways of congress that
are got no other way. Iowa is today
reaping the rewards of keeping good
men long in congress, as they are being
advanced to the very highest positions.
Our senators and our representatives
today have their places of great in
f1uence in matters partly because of
their excellent ability but more be-
cause of their long service.

The Dreyfus case reads like a
romance. Victor Hugo's great imagi
nation scarcely invented more intricate
conspiracies or developed more ac-
cursed wrongs in the name of justice
than have been wrought out within the
past four years against Dreyfus. 1t
seems scarcely possible that so terrible
a wrong could have been perpetrated
in civilized country in this age.

That the Green County republican
convention did not instruct ror Cum
minis for United States senator seemed
to be n surprise to the state as it was
thought to be in the heart of strong
Cummins territory. We believe there
is a sentiment growing that the sena-
torial fight is not the only thing in
politics this year, and that it might
easily be pushed too far at this early
date for the interests of the party.

NEWS OF THE WHEELMEH.


The League of American Wheelmen will
in the future supply its members who
make trips into Canada with membership
cards in the Canadian Wheelmen's AS
ISOLATION, the two organizations having
arrived at a mutual understanding to this
end. Heretofore the L. "A. w member
touring in Canada has had to deposit his
membership ticket with the Customs au-
thorities as guarantee that he would take
the wheel out of the country again, in
return for the officials allowing the ma
chine to be taken across the frontier with
out payment of duty This arrangement
left the rider without his credentials. The
agreement r~ectifies this feature Of the
touring facilities afforded by the League
to its members.
Several of the leading officials of the
League of American Wheeimer are seri-
ously considering the matter of SO chang
ing the form of the organization as to
make it more national in character The
idea prevalent is that much of the
strength of the League is wasted because
Of the many subdivisions of working en-
ergy in it, and those who are of this min
viding for an association more on the
lines of many of the large secret socie-
ties; the difference being that there will
be no secrets. 1t is probable there will
be many suggestions on this line at the
coming Assembly. and if the idea meets
with sufficient favor TO warrant extended
discussion, another will be added to the
MANY important topics that will be dis
cussed before the annual meeting.

An even break was the result OF Two
games bowled last night at All SAINTS
Lyceum alleys between the home team
and a quintette from the Catholic Ciup.
There was a great deal of interest IN the
meeting and a large crowd was present to
see the contests. The home team had
their rooters out in large numbers ana
there was plenty of fun for all. The
bright particular star of the evening was
Joseph Duane of the Catholic Club. who
is president of the Catholic Club Bowling
League. Duane was in fine fetfle. HE
relied in hard luck in the fret game, but
he was hitting them good and the turn
that was bound to come happened in the
second game. when he got through with
out a break. He was rather unfortunate
though In leaving corner pins up. Time
and again these pins swayed but would
not drop on the first ball. Hhe cracked
out the very pretty score of 222, however.
Throughout the two games the Catholic
Club team showed Inconsistency. Good
scores in one game were Offset by poor
ones in. the other game. The second game
was won by the All Saints team through
the efforts of 5Hyland and Finley. The
former fell but five pins short of the
double century mark and the latter tailed
