The Browns Valley Tribune has
the following appreciative words for
Representative Foss. We endorse
the sentiment in every respect.
Representative Foss, of Grant
county, advanced himself wonder
fullyin the estimation of Republicans
of the district by turning deaf ear
to the pleading of the fusionists. The
fact is we'll known sthat Mr.. Foss had
but to say the word and the fusion
nomination would have fallen into
his lap, but he preferred the more
honorable course of standing by his
political conviction, regardless of the
brides the opposition offered. The
man who is guided by his honest
convictions rather than by desire
for personal advancement is most
highly esteemed by both friend and
foe, and, as rule, his reward in the
long run will be greater than as
though he had pursued the other
course.

ttShe seemed to know all that was GO

thought it might make her feel easier
if somebody prayed. So he, bein the
only one who knowed much about it,
tried it, and we all kneeled down. He
told US how we all knowed that the
girl was dyin because she had give her
life to save ourn, and he told the Lord
that we hoped that if it was possible,
he would fix it SO that she wouldn't die.
''It was a good prayer for a man who
amt in the business professionally,
and it seemed to do the girl good, for
when he finished and we got up there
was smile on her lips. But it was
the last smile that was ever there, for
she was dead.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT is being made
a target by large number of mud

show poor judgment, says the Sank

true that the average American has
learned to detect and discredit cam
palgn stories of this sort,the splendid
personality of the Republican candi-
date for the vice-presicency and his
whole public career make such at
tacks of no avail. Roosevelt has won

Salisbury and eosebery-- have held the

prime minister who held the queens
highest regard was Melbourne. the first
man who had the post during her reign,
and who filled the office before ner
time. Next to Melbourne, the first min
lister to whom the queen was most
friendly Was Disrueii. the one who con-
ferred upon her the title of Empress of

friendly terms With Barber. Their at

the proceedings and Barber went west,
She followed, accompanied by another

In the chautauquan The initiation of
this movement by Russia has been the
subject of heated controversy as to the
Russian motive. III may have been due
in part to the enlightened views of the

unquestionably dictated by self-inter-

Peace is the need of the Russian ma

VETERANS QUIT THE GUARD.
Thrcc Companies Being Mustered Out iii
Consequence of Low Standard

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 27-The expec-
tation of those who believed that the
service of the members of the Iowa ma
tional guard in the Spanish war would
result in increasing the efficiency of
the guard and make it easier to main
tain the required standard has not
been realized On the contrary. it APP
pears that making veterans out of the
guardsmen has had a delnoralizing eff
feet on the guard. When the four
Iowa regiments entered the volunteer
service they We're all mustered out of
the guard. When they returned the
guard companies We're recognized and
as an induce1nent for the veterans to
enlist again under the state law they
We're given credit for continuous serv-
ice i'm the guard. In the new COM
panies there We're about G2 per cent of
men who served in the war for free
dom of Cuba. So far as 1t was pos
sible the ex-volunteers We're given the
commissions. But of course many
failed to get out of the ranks and as
a result the members who served as
volunteers have been quietly dropping
out of the guard companies until at
the present time 1t Is estimated by Adj
Jutant General Byers that not more
than 25 per cent of the present guard
has seen service.
Three of the companies have fallen
SO low In standard that orders have
been issued to muster them out. Last
week the company at Ieokuk was
mustered out and the property of the
company has been brought to the state
capitol. Discharges will be issued the
men at once. Colonel Ollnstead is in
Creston to muster out the company
there and prepare for the discharge OF
the men. Twice before has this COM
pany been ordered mustered out on ac-
count of lack of interest and each time
the members We're permitted to make
another trial. They have asked for one
more chance, but this has been posi-
lively refused them by General Byers.
neither will any new company be adj
mitted from erosion. The other COM
pany which has fallen below the stand
ard is one of the Des Moines compan-
les. In order to awaken interest and
prevent it's mastering out movement
has been started to erect an arnlory.
but unless this is done Immediately the
company will be le, out within a week.
A great many towns have applica-
tions in for permission to organize
companies in place of the companies
being mustered out. There will be no
trouble in securing new companies and
maintaining the four regiments. Cen
eral Byers is insisting that the stand
ard be kept up and in a majority OF
the companies this is easy OF accom-.
pliShment.
