SOME CAMPAIGN CAPITAL GONE.

another bugaboo that the democratic
party hastbeen cheerfllly using of late,
has turned out to be just nothing at all.
The talk that has been INDUCED in SO
freely by anti-expansion editors, con-
corning the desecration of Filipino
churches by American soldiers, is
shown to be merely campaign capital,
by dispatch. from General Otis relat-
ing the facts of the matter.
Otis cabled yesterda to Washington
that the churches IN which his soldiers
were auartered were those which had
been formerly occupied by Aguinaldo
and hissfoHowers, and that in the great
majority of cases, religious services in
these buildings had been in no way dis
turbed. General Otis stated positively
that there had been no dissertation Of
churches by his soldiers.
That the statements of the anti-ex-
pansion papers have been widely believ-
ed we cannot think possible. n The peo-
pie Of this country know that the SOL
|'diers in the Philippines are American
boys and American men. They have
been brought up in American homes,
and have been taught to respect all
forms of religion, and to regard all
places of worship, as sacred.
But saying often repeated finds at
least some few believers. Even this silly
statement of our democratic friends;
had gained a little credit in some quar-
tiers. A few of the Roman Catholic
clergy have been much exercised over
these reports of dissertation and have
passed resolutions, asking that an in
vestigation be made. General Otis dis
patch was in answer to a cable from
the war department inquiring into the
matter. and is an adequate reply to
the charges made. in this country by
democratic newspapers.
It is to be hoped that the affair is
now at an end. and that we shall hear
nothing more of it, 1t was false re-
port from beginning to end.

OUR SPECIAL FEATURES.

So many and complimentary are the
remarks passed on the Courier's specia
feature pages. that we feel called
upon to each week announce the spec.
4 ial features in this department OF. the
paper. Besides the regular humorous
page. which is becoming more and
more popular, especially with the chill
dren. there will be this week an entire
page devoted exclusively to the ladies'
AS is always the case, and particularly
at this time of the year. ladies are
much interested in the fashions. An
extended article on fashionable Hats
for Autumn Wear" with an Illustration
of several of the latest patterns. is the
leading feature OF this page! Another
page which will be greatly appreciated
by the reading public, Is that devoted
to full discussion and explanation OF
the troubles between England and the
Transvaal, with numerous Illustrations.
While these countries are upon the
verge of war, but few people thorough
~ understand the questions that have
brought the trouble about. It was for
this reason the page was made up and
ordered especially for the Courier. An
other chapter OF the serial, "In His
Steps" will also appear.
The Courier takes pardonable pride
In speaking of this feature of the pa
per each week. Besides the regular six
teen pages, which, as everyone knows,
are chock full of live telegraph and To-
cal matter. these four pages issued on
Thursday, furnish a high class OF read

The Pollcemauss Club.

Sioux City Tribune: Mayor Jones,
OF Toledo, thinks that policemen should
not carry clubs or revolvers, but should
depend upon moral suasion to preserve
law and order. This theory will not
make much Roadway with policemen
who reflect that their duties seldom be-
gin except where moral suasion ends.
The latter is Being supplied in i'm

TWO NEW coLLBGE PRESIDENTS

Two Iowa universities will before
long inaugurate new presidents. The
State university at Iowa City has is
sued Invitations for the, exercises at
tending the installment of President
George Edwin MacLean, which will
take place September 30. The program,
which will be given in the afternoon
before the old capitol building, includes
addresses bv Governor Shaw, president
of the board of regents; by President
w. F. King. of Cornell college; by
President CYRUS Northrop, OF the Uni
yersity of Minnesota, and by President
w. R. Harper, of the University OF
Chicago. In the evening a reception
will be given the new head of the in
|stitution in the big armory of the uni
versitv.
Another Iowa educational institution
which will begin the year with new
president is Iowa Wesleyan university
at Mount Pleasant. Invitations have
been issued for the Inauguration OF
President Blakeslee, d. d., which will

Both universities are to be congrat.
ulated upon their good fortune in Sc.
curing such excellent men, and upon
the prosperous condition in which they
start upon the opening college year
Iowa's educational institutions are
things that the state may well be proud
of. The high standard that they main
tain and the acknowledged excellence
of their instructors have placed them
at the head OF western universities.
The majority of the college graduates
now living in Iowa received their edu-
cation at colleges in this state. It is
only natural. therefore, that they
should take, an immense pride in the
excellence OF our own educational in
situations. 1t is gratifying for them to
know that the two universities that
have recently changed presidents have
fallen into capable hands.

Landed in a Fog.

MarshalltOwn Times Republican !:
Many of those who gave close attention
to the proceedings Of the trust confer-
ence in Chicago think that the air was
clarified and that better understand
ing of the subject was obtained, yet
many others entertain different opin-
ion. c. A. Ficke, of Davenport, who at
tended the conference, is reported by
the Democrat as saying: II do not care
to talk until 1 am sure of my ground.
1 thought knew where ] could put
my foot down on the trust proposition,
and find firm standing ground, but | do
not. I went to Chicago for more light,
and came home in a fog. I must go
to school again, and do some more
studying before am ready to be inter-
viewed. Lean only say that while there
appear to be many evils connected
with the trust, there appear to be 9TH
er things that are good, and that,
while unlimited and unrestrained COM
petition is lauded as an ideal condition,
I can see many bad things in it. am
looking for way out of the fog"
Mr.. Fricke's position represents that
of Others, some of whom expected
much because it appeared to be q study
of the subject from an economic point
of view, without, extraneous influences
to bias conclusions. They find that the
question of eliminating the bad feat
ures of the trusts is still open and that
opinions are as diverse as ever.
Notwithstanding these disappoint-
ments the atmosphere was clarified to
this extent, that political parties, and
particularly the democratic party, can
not, as heretofore, pull the wool over
the eyes Of the people by using the
word trust" as a DOGGY man in an in
discriminate way and without qualifi-
cation. The people are too intelligent
to be frightened by such spooks, man
ufactured for the occasion. They know
that there are some good as well as evil
features about great combinations OF
capital and that it will require intelli-
gent and careful discrimination to re-
move the evil without gripping indus
trial progress.

This Great Country.

Burlington Hawkeye: Familiarity
has taught Americans to overlook the
vastness of the country they have con-
quered between the Atlantic and the
Pacific. A forcible reminder is found
in the announcement of the departure
OF Robert T. Hill, of the Geological Sur
vey, for Yalocaton, enroute to under
take the first survey of the Great Bend
of the Rio Grande ever attempted .lc-
cording to official statement, there is i'll
that region. between Ell Paso and Del
Rio, q cres-country, over 1000 square
miles in area. which has never been
explored-and the exploration Of which
promises to be surrounded with more
romantic interest than is possible today
in penetrating any recess in Central
Africa. There is food for reflection in
this concerning the size of the land
which Uncle Sam calls his homestead.

was nominated for county Office on the
fusion ticket. He declined to accept
the nomination for the emphatically
expressed reason that he would not
lend the use of his name to political
party that failed to support the govern
ment in the battles which he had
been fighting. While the volunteers
were 10000 miles away the populist
claims to representing their personal
views could be made with comparative
impunity. but the return of the boys
has put an end to that little game.

This great intellectual state of Iowa

Breeches.

Des Moines News: Secretary Hay,
the author OF Little Breeches," pro-
duction which constitutes his chief
fame in the world of letters and which
production annoyed him exceedingly
when it was exploited by British pub
fishers when he was minister to the
court of ST. James, Secretary Hay,
whose black satin knickerbockers and
silk stocings constituted the cynosure
of all lorgnetes in London society,
seems destined to have his name and
fame ineNtricably connected with the
question of trousers. The secretary
endorses a proposition to adopt knick-
erbockers as part of special court
dress to be worn ait all social functions
in Washington.
The secretary should know that the
long trouser is a complete evolution
|from the breech cloth of our forebears.
The knee breeches is therefore base
compromise with savagery. Strange so
learned man should go so far astray.
Besides. it should be remembered that
our history has not yet crystalized into
detiniteness as respects uniform. Dary
Crockett was en- reggie in leather
hunting coat and moccasins. Franklin
