Desertion.

If Admiral Dewey had sailed out Of
Manila Bay after destroying the
Spanish ships he would have done
what the anti,imperialists now say
this government should have ordered
him to do. Then there would have
been an oriental slaughter of Spanish
residents, combatants and nOn-com-
batants, and the United States would
have been the mock of history.
When one government is destroyed
either anarchy or another government
will take its place. Had Admiral
Dewey left the peaceful residents of

AguinaldO and his followers, Mr..

The Noise Nuisance.
Since the beginning nothing has
been done to lessen the noise in large
cities until lately. To be sure Or
dinances have been passed but police
men were not instructed to enforce
them, and policemen, the world over,
are very strict interpreters Of their
duty except when a fee is in prospect.
New York physicians are prescrib-
ing isolation cures for the patients
whose ear drums have been shocked
to the point of nervous prostraticn.
In so small place as this there are
more and louder noises than business
requires. If the policemen were so
instructed a reprimand would greatly
lessen the sum Of the noises. For in.

merchants might ba compelled to
hawk their wares less loudly. An
earnest buyer will be attracted by

effect reforms such as these requires
time. 1t is easier to teach youth. Ii
this city in her youth is taught the
gospel of quietness, it will learn the
lesson more easily than a metropolis.
The Constitution in China.
A writer in The New York Sun ex-
plains why it is that the Chinese, the
learned Chinese. have so clear a COM
prehension OF the constitution Of the
United States. 1t seems that an at
tache of the first Chinese legation
that accepted our invitation to Wash

Yung. was scholar, a graduate Of
Doctor Martins college in Pekin and
had also taken his bachelors degree
in the Chinese examinations. In
Washington he formed a close friend

an astronomer at the United States
naval observatory. Tsai told Doctor
Holden that the legation had come to
this country to effect a treaty between

Joachim explained that be liked it that

Death ofl.. +. wadswor.h.

Indianola. June 27.-B. F. Wadsworth,
one of the Oldest and one of the best
and most successful citizens of Warren
county. died at his home. two and one
half miles northwest of Summerset, on
Friday, June 90. after sickness of some
eight weeks. Mr.. Wadsworth was born
in MARYLAND, March 49, 1922 In 1856 he
settled near where the old home now
stands, where he reared hip family and
where he has seen the raw prairies
made to bloom like the rose and has
witnessed the wonderful development of
Iowa. But few men can boast Of so
large an acquaintance and friendship
80 extensive as did Frank. Wadsworth
during his life time. The funeral servic-
les were held under the shade trees in
the front yard. which had been planted
by his own hand nearly half century
ago. The services We're conducted by
his pastor, Rev Joe w. Goodsell, as
sisted by DR.. w. f. Hamilton. Of Simp-
son College, and the Rev. Emory Mil
Ter, d. D.. pastor of the Methodist Epis-
copal church of Indianola :all OF whom
spoke in feeling terms of the friendship
and the moral worth of the deSeased
The fact that from 700 to 1000 people
and friends We're in attendance at the
rural home is sufficient evidence of the
popularity and the real worth of the
man. The death of such men is great
