THE TRULY SUCCESSFUL MAN.

II In the June number of the Century
Magazine, Theodore Roosevelt, gov
ernor of New York and republican
candidate for vice president gives to
the public an interesting article en-
titled Latitude and Longitude
Among Reformers," that is attracting
a good deal of editorial comment.
Mr.. Roosevelt's article abounds in
passages calculated to impress the
reader with the sincerity Of the writer
and of such character as to show his
real knowledge of those facts that are
fundamental to public reform. For
example, he says:
'fWe shall never make our republic
what it should be until as people we
thoroly understand and put in practice
that success is abhorrent if attained
by the sacrifice of the fundamental
man, whether in business or in politics,
who has risen by constituencies
swindling of his neighbors, by deceit
and chicanery, by INSCRIPTIONS bold.
ness and INSCRIPTIONS cunning, stand
toward society as a dangerous wild
beast. The mean and cringing admira.
ton which such a career commands
among those who think crookedly or
not at all makes this kind of success
perhaps the most dangerous of all the
influences that threaten our national
life. Our standard of public and private
conduct will never be raised to the
proper level until we make the scoun
drel who succeeds feel the weight of q
hostile public opinion even more

EXPANSION.

The democrats say that the Germans
are not in favor of expansion. Like
many other things said by democrats
this is untrue. A shining instance is
the speech delivered by Emperor Will
liam to the German troops departing
for China. He said:
IF you close with the enemy, te-
member this. Spare nobody. Make
no prisoners. Use our weapons SO
that for a thousand years hence no
Chinaman will dare look askance at
any German. Open the way for civ
ilization once for ALL"
Without commenting on the above
sentiment we point to it simply as the
utterance of an eXpansionist. 1t is ex-
pansion carried almost to the point of
determination

THE DEMOCRATIC "MosEs.u

Hon. John w. Lewis in his speech
before the democratic congressional
convention Tuesday referred to Mr..
Bryan as the Moses who was come to
lead the democratic party out of the
wilderness. Mr.. Lewis remark is sig
nlficant when it is remembered that
Moses himself never reached the
promised land. The time may come
when the democratic party, cleansed
OF its many sins, will pass over into the
land OF Canaan; but it is highly prob
able that Moses" Bryan will perish
In the wilderness surrounded by the
sands OF free silver and the cacti of
ahti-progression, without having ever
TASTED That Tor which his soul yearns,
the milk and honey of office-holding.

Davis in the Campaign.

Kansas City Star: There is consid-
cradle curiosity in the public mind
concerning the campaign appoint
ments of Brother Webster Davis, the
new convert to Organism. He will
probably not be licensed at the outset,
but given commission as an exhorter
or circuit rider. Whether he receives
a irregular charge depends upon his sue
cess and the number of votes which
the democratic party will poll. The
campaign managers will probably not
assign Brother Davis to the itinerary
he covered when he was promulgating
the truth as 1t was in Mckinley. It
would be less embarrassing to send
him to a field where he has not been
heard to berate the party to which he
has now Joined himself.

DR.. HlNITT AND PARSONS.

Parsons college, at Fairfield, may ac-
count itself very fortunate in having
secured the promise of SO good man
as DR.. F. W. Hinitt, of this city, to
act as its president. DIR. Hlnitt has
been pastor of the First Presbyterian
church of Ottumwa for four or five
years, and during that time has won
the admiration and respect of every
one in this city. Not only has his own
church prospered under his care, but
the people OF Ottumwa at large those
who are not church members as well
as those that are, have felt the bene-
fetal influence of his residence here.
Love for the man and admiration for
his personal and intellectual qualities,
his thoro scholarship and his eloquence
In the pulpit have increased as OF.
tumwa knew him better. His mind
and work are traceable in many of the
religious and educational influence in
the city. He is just the man to make
Parsons college an excellent president
and it is the wish of Ottumwa general
ly that the college and DR.. Hinitt may
prosper together
In this connection it is interesting to
know something of this college in a
neighboring city. Ottumwa has been
Interested in it heretofore from the
fact that it has been the object OF
much generosity on the part of one OF
our citizens, Mr.. T. D. Foster; the peo
pie of this city will now be doubly in
terested from the fact that an Ottum-
wan is to he president.
The history of events leading to

may be considered to have COM
menced in the synod of Iowa at Des
Moines in 1869. While the college was
not actually founded until five years
later, 1t was not period of idle wait
ing or quiet expectancy, but they were
years during which feeling ran high
and jealousies We're strong between
communities striving to secure the To-
cation of the institution at the hands
of the executors of the last will of
Lewis B. Parsons, Sr. After much

at Fairfield if $4,000 were raised. The
conditions were complied with and

ton for the purpose of building DOR

w. l.. Roach, chairman of the re-
publican state convention, is one of
the successful men of Muscatine. He
has always been a vigorous repub-
lican, altho his first conspicuous work
for his party was done in 1894, when
he blossomed out as political ora
tor of force during the campaign of
George M. Curtis, OF. Clinton, who was
running for congress. This he pre-
ferred to being a candidate himself.
In 1898 Mr.. Roach was offered the
nomination for congress, but declined.
In 1896 he allied himself with the
gold standard forces and contributed
freely to the campaign funds. In 1897
Mr.. Roach was made postmaster of
Muscatine. At the present time he
is the unanimous choice of the re-
publicans for congress, and, altho he
would rather stay at home than to
go to the house Of representatives,
it is very probable that he will be
Roosevelted. His political charac-
ter and career prompted the state
committee to slate him for temporary
chairman of the August convention.
Mr.. Roach, in spite of his many bus
mess and political activities, finds
time to devote much of his attention
to study. He has one of the finest
private libraries in the state.
