GEARS SUCCESSOR.

The Iowa delegation in Congress
contains FIVE old soldiers; Thomas
Hedge of the First district Who served
as private in Co. E and as End
lieutenant in Co. G of the 1O6 N. V;
ID. b. Henderson of the Third dis
trict who served as private and 1st
lieutenant of 90. @ of the 18th Iowa.
and afterward as colonel of the 46th
Iowa Regiment; John +. .Laceyof the
Sixth district who enlisted in 90. HI
of the 3rd Iowa and afterward served
as private in Co. D of the S3rd ,and
as sergeant major and lieutenant in
Co. @ of that regiment, was pro-
NOTED to assistant adiutant general
on the staff of Brig. Gen. s. A. Rice,
and after that officer was killed in
battle was assigned to the staff of
Major General Freds ck Steele;-
John A. T. Hull of the Seventh dis
trict who was 1st lieutenant and cap
tain of the 23rd Iowa, was wounded
at Black River and resigned on ac-
count of wounds w. P. Hepburn of
of the Eighth district, who served in
the End Iowa Cavalry as captain,
major and lieutenant colonel.
From among these men should be
named the successor of Senator John
II. Gear. Iowa has never sent an
old soldier to the U. S. Senate, and
the Gear succession will be the last
for Iowa to honor in this way one of
the brave boys of 1915 and it will be
the last time the old soldier will ask
such recognition.
For years there has been a strong
feeling throughout the state that one
of Iowa's Senators should be veter-
an of the civil war, but each time a
senator was to be named political
complications and various affairs of
state pushed the claims and dues of
the veteran of one side. Now no
such contingency exists. The Iowa
delegation is the strongest in con-
gress, and the veterans are the strong
men of that delegation, and it is due
to them and due to the whole people
of Iowa that one of their number be
honored at this time ;-tIe last time
such honor can be bestowed.

Sioux City Journal: Congressman
Lacey's bird bill" has passed the
house, only twenty-six votes being
recorded against it. The measure
Fauthorizes the secretary of agricul-
ture to provide for the introduction
and restoration of game, song and
insectivorous wild birds. 1t gives
the secretary the authority to forbid
the introduction of undesirable birds
or animals from foreign countries.
1t prohibits interstate commerce in
game killed in violation of the state
law.
The bill, as Congressman Lacey ad-
mits, was inspired partly by senti-
ment, but there is much that is prac-
tical in it. Everybody comprehends
tht game is growing scarcer and
that the song birds are becoming
less numerous because of indiscrimi-
nate slaughter. Many states where
game still survives in any consider
able quantities have passed laws for
it's protection and are making efforts
to enforce them. They have been
able to do away to large extent
with the sale of game in open mar
ket during closed seasons, but they
have>been unable to prevent persons
from killing game during these sea-
sons and shipping it to states where
its sale is not prohibited. The Lacey
bill covers this deficiency in the
state laws.
OF course it is the duty of the state
to look after the protection of the
song birds within its borders. The
Lacey bill brings to mind the fact
that these birds are useful as we'll as
cheerful companions. Their place
in the economy Of the world is not
alone to make music. They are the
authorized destroyers of the trouble
some insects, which, if not properly
policed, destroy flowers and fruit
and peace of mind. Congressman
Lacey's bill enables the agricultural
department to cooperate with the
various states in restoring the natur-
al bird life that may have been driv-
en- from that locality and in intro
dncing such new species as may
prove welcome.
The passage OF the bill by the
houseimeans that the legislative rep
resentatives of the people of the
United States have formally express
ed their disapproval of the wanton
or merceuary slaughter of mans
feathered friends. 1t is hint to
tagging states to look after their
own interests in the matter. 1t is
unfortunate that any state should re-
quire law to protect such useful
and beautiful things as birds and
trees, but boyish thoughtlessness,
woman's vanity and mans greed
must be reckoned with in lawmak-
ing. Congressman Lacey has done

WHY NOT LACEyg

Clear Lake Mirror: The Mirror is
liable to change its mind on such an
important subject, but at present,
after hasty glance at the situation,
it inclines to the belief that John F.
Lacey would be about right for United
States senator. For one thing Lacey
wore the blue and Iowa has never had
a soldier in the senate and never will
unless something of this kind is done
before long. The southern states
send their confederate brigadiers to
the senate and Iowa would honor it
self by honoring a gallant soldier like
Major Lacey. But that of itself is
not sufficient. 1t is, however, when
we know that Lacey is a safe man, an
accomplished lawyer and staunch
republican. He is not as snowy as
some men, .doesn not acquit himself so
well in the oratorical dress parade,
but there is no discount on his abil"
ity. Some years ago, when ther
were so many contested election cases
from the south, Major Lacey was a
member of the committee on privi-
leges and elections and the reports
he made were admitted by all his col
leagues to be the best that ever issued
from that committee They showed
a rich mind and keen brain. Down
in the Sixth district Lacey has had
to fight for his political life and his
party for years against democrats,
populists, greenbackers and other po-
litical bushwhackers, and he has at
all times gallantly upheld the stand
ard of republicanism. He is brave,
he is honest, he is true. He has
earned promotion; let him have it.

FOR THE SEVENTH TINE.
Sigourney News

Hon. John F. Lacey was renomi-
mated for congress at the Abba con-
vention Wednesday, July IL. This
makes the seventh time he has been
nominated by the republican party
and at each convention it was by ac-
clamation.
In the six elections ie won five
times. Fred E White, of this coun-
ty, beat him in the year 1890 when
80 many congressman went down to
defeat. When Major Lacey in 1888
was nominated the first time, the
old sixth district was looking for a
candidate to pull the party from out
of the clutch of greenbackism and
redeem it from Weaverism. They
picked on the Major as the man. He
did not seek the position but yielded
gracefully to the will of his party.
You know the result of the battle.
Major Lacey was triumphantly
elected.

tlon he has endeared himself to the

The splendid foreign news service
that the HERALD is giving it's patrons
was again exemplified last evening
when the evening paper came out
with the news that Minister Conger
had been heard from. This news
was sixteen hours ahead of any other
paper that comes to the city in a
general circulation. The above is
but an instance of what occurs daily.
The news that the HERALD gives in
the evening comes to the city next
morning in the morning papers and
later in the Chicago sheets. Our
service has never been better than
at present and the same is being ap-
preciated by the public as evidenced
by continually increasing list OF
patrons. The HERALD will continue

standard. 1t now proposes to go on
and complete the building by the
following wise plan laid down in the
platform adopted at Philadelphia:
I'VE recognize that interest rates
are potent factor in production and
business activity, and for the purpose
of further equalizing and of further
lowering the rates of interest, we
favor such monetary legislation as
will enable the varying needs of the
season and of all sections to be
promptly met, in order that trade
may be evenly sustained, labor stead
lily employed and commerce en-
larged."
Surely the merchant, the promoter,
the farmer, the manufacturer and
the wage Garner will see the wisdom
of this plank, ard will vote to con
tinue in power the party that has
given them prosperous times and
substantial reforms, rather than the
one that would tear down, would re-
store "wild cat money!" and would
put our finances in an unstable con-
ditiou,

SAMPLE or ANTI-EKPANsION

SAMPLE OF ANTI-EKPANSION
Colonel Roosevelt in his ST. Paul
speech gave the Democratic Boxers
number of hard raps. He said:
In China we see 1T this moment the
awful tragedy that is following just
exactly such a movement as that
which the so-called anti-imperialists
have championed in the Philippines.
The Boxers in China are the precise
analogues and representative of the
Aguinaldian rebels in the Philippines
Had we adopted the "policy of scut,
tle' in the Philippines, the policy
which our opponents now champion,
the streets of Manila would have
witnessed such scenes as those OF
the streets of Peking. The Chinese
policy has always been consistently
against expansion, and she offers to-
day the best example of the fruits OF
such policy when logically carried
out. Nominally, her policy has been
one of peace; in reality it has simply
been one which invites aggres sion
from without and incites her own
people to forocious and hideous bar.

THEORY Us. PRACTICE.


Theory and practice are two very
different things among the leadership
of the Democratic party. Some time
since, Congressman Sulzer and sew
eral other leading lights conceived
theiidea of getting up a big public
meeting in Washington for the pur-
pose of raising money for the Boer
widows and orphans, thereby pro-
ducing a great clap of thunder
against the Republican administra-
tion. The meeting came off on sche-
dule time, Mr.. Sulzer being chairman.
Mckinley and Hanna and every other
Republican was berated, and 81 100
raised for the orphans and widows
in South Africa. 1t now turns out
that the majority of the widows and
orphans" lived in Washington, ,as the
expense of the meeting and other
campaign expenses were paid out of
the receipts. Only SIS found its way
to Pretoria. Yet the. democrats say
in the platform that their syni5a-
thy will burst their heart strings
