Col. Joe Eibeck in his paper, I'll

Col. Joe Eibeck in his paper, the
loeca Stats Anzeiger, says;
The ticket nominated by the demo-
cratic state convention in this city de-
serves to be called splendid one.
Each and every candidate upon it is
worthy the support of the democratic
voters OF Iowa. Beginning with a
German American and ending with a
son of the fatherland is certainly no
discredit to the ticket. The man who
heads it, Hon. Fred E. White, was a
brave soldier in the war for the preser-
walton of the union, having joined the
Union army soon after coming to the
U. S. and although he turned his sword
into ploughShare after the close of
the war and pursued the avocation of
farming, poor boy that he was, he still
found time to enrich his mind with
stores of knowledge to tit himself for
the national halls of congress and to
distinguish himself as have few con-
gressmen in their first term of office
for it is remembered that of one speech
of his, more than twenty millions of
copies were printed and translated into
every living language, most unprec-
edented record of the popularity of a
congressional speech. OF the man who
concludes the state ticket, Hon. B. p.
Hoist, it can be said that he too rose to
the, eminent position he occup les as an
educator in Iowa through his own eff
fortsa Boone county, his home, looks
up to this young German American
with just pride. 1t is probably true
that equal praise can be bestowed upon
the balance of the ticket.

Mckinley and the Flag.

President Mckinley knows how to
turn sentence to catch applause. He
always comes out strong whenever he
gets chance tomention the flag. And
if the chance does not come naturally
he makes one.
Recently the president declared
that: "Our flag does not mean one
thing in the Philippines and another
thing in the United States"
That sounds well and ought to be
true, but the Neac York World ques-
lions his statement shrewdly, as
follows:
sour flag in the United States means
government of the people, by the
people, for the people, Does it mean
this in the Philippines?
cat home our flag means govern
ment with the consent of the govern
ed Are we asking the consent of
the Filipinos to establish a govern
ment' for them, as the president puts
it?
"At home our flag means mo tax
alton without representation. Mr..
Mckinley purposes to tax the Fill
pinos. Does he mean to give them
representation in our congress?
sat home our flag means supremacy
of the civil over the military power.
Will it signify any such thing in the
Philippines for years to come, even
after the inhabitants have been subiu-
gated?"
- AS Mckinley proposes to conquer
the Philippines by force and arms,
the flag cannot mean government
through the consent of the governed.
AS Mckinley proposes to tax the
Filipinos when they have been forced
into submission, does he also propose
to give them that representation
which the flag gives to American citi-
zens?
AS Mckinley proposes to hold the
Philippines by military power, will
the flag mean there the supremacy OF
civil over military government
thing it assuredly means in the United
States?
President Mckinley speaks eio-
quently, but does he speak the truth:

NOTES OF THE DAY.

The rainy season in the Philippines
is not the deadly thing that it is down
in the Antilles. There is some fever
of course but nothing such as there is
in Cuba under similar conditions. The
season is more uncomfortable than
anything else.
In 1890 the dominion parliament
passed law granting to each father
of twelve or more children 100 acres

the father of thirty-six children.

The remarkably heavy rains the past
few days have done damage In Texas
which will amount to thousands of
dollars. Railroad traffic Is suspended

while another million will not cover
the loss to railroads and other prop

Washington, d. c., July Gov.
Roosevelt was last night the guest of
President Mckinley at the white
house. He arrived here Saturday af-
ternoon in response to a Geographic re-
quest from the president asking him
to Washington for a consultation. To
this summons he responded promptly,
being met at the Pennsylvania depot
on his arrival by the presidents pri-
vate secretary, Mr.. Cortelyou. Roose-
welt was driven directly to the white
house where he was received by the
president. There was a short confer
ence between them before dinner. AT
terward, together with Secretary Long,
they sat upon the west veranda of the
executive mansion for a longer
consultation, the secretary re-
naming until 8 o'clock
and leaving the president and the gov
ernor to continue their conversation.
There are various rumors afloat as 10
the purpose of the governors visit but
Roosevelt after his conference declared
the president had asked him to come to
Washington only because of his desire
to consult him concerning the organi-
cation Of the volunteer forces for the
Philippines. Roosevelt declined abso-
lutely to discuss any other feature
of his visit. Among the cur
rent rumors are that the president
called Roosevelt to Washington to
tender him the Office of secretary Of
war, to ask him to take command of
brigade in the Philippines, and to ask
him to designate an entire regiment TO
be sent to the archipelago. Roosevelt
was asked whether the president had
rendered him the secretary of war port
folio He replied to this question with
laugh and declined positively to dis
cuss it.
