THE SONS OF SWEDEN.

The Swedish king, Oscar, has ap-
pointed already one of the royal princes
to attend the great worlds fair at ST.
Louis, in 1903, the one l.undredth an
niversary of the acquisition of terrific
ry that has constituted a refuge for so
many of the adventurous sons of Swe-
den in North America.
| 1t is now deemed certain that the
Norsemen under Left Ericsson antedat-
ed the discoveries of Columbus more
than four centuries, and if any race or
nation of the old world has an interest
in America more than any other race
or nation, that one is the Scandinavia
an people King Oscar is therefore in
line with the proprieties and with the
past history of this country in taking
the initiative in the appointment of
delegates to our great anniversary
| What will King Oscar of Sweden
find out through his princely represen-
| tatiye?
He will find that Scandinavians

great northwestern territory in max
| ing permanent settlements.

world and most important part of

that revolutionized naval warfare and
saved the American fleet which was
threatened with destruction by the

King Oscar will find that Scandina
lvians have been advanced to high po
sitions i'll the land by the republican
party which is dominant now and per
haps will be dominant in the land fol
many years hence.
King Oscar, descendant of the great
Bernadotte, will find through his rep

the American people who stand high

gress than the Scandinavian Ameri
can.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Teddy's Dinner.

Editor Courier:-I notice that our
southern brethren are terribly agitat-
ed over the fact that President Roose-
welt recently dined with Booker Wash
ington, the intelligent, educated and
respectable colored man. In the opin-
ion of the old timers down there, the
President of this country has commit
ted and objectionable sin. Now under
the existing conditions at time when
laws are being enacted all over the
south for the Acknowledgement of the
colored men, it seems to me that II
would be a good policy for these
southern whites not to stir up the
race question. The enactment of the
laws referred to is plain violation of
the provisions of the constitution of
the United States. The people of the
| forth, the business and progressive
portion of the country have thus far
submitted to the passage of those pc
culiar laws for the regulation of these
domestic institutions. Little has been
said about it in the halls of congress
)r by the people. Yet if the people
of the south persist in bringing these
old prejudices to the front the time
is not far distant when the people of
the United States who favor obedi
ence to law will be heard from. They
will require these southern gentlemen,
the actual voters only, to stand up
and be counted Then the peoples
Representatives in congress will en-
act law basing their representatives
upon the actual vote cast. This of
couse will largely reduce their power
in the legislative bodies, but it will
be fair and just to the other states Of
the union The negro was counted
before the civil war, so he is now, ex-
cept for brief period in which he has
had no voice in the affairs of state and
nation.
Now there is no other class of PEG.
pie in this country who have been sc
closely associated with the colored
race as those of the south, and l do
not understand why they should make
such a terrible roar when Yankee
happens torubu up againsa a man whose
skin is black, made so by the Creator
of all things.
Therefore as I said before under
the present condition of affairs it viii
pay the southerner to keep very quiet
upon the question of race and color
He is foolishing with the buzz saw
which in the end is likely to do hin
great harm. Xxx.

PURE AIR IN THE FACTORIES.

The Iowa commissioner of labor, MI.
Wennerstrum, in his ninth biennial
report of the Bureau of Labor Stats
tics, calls attention to the needs of leg
islation in the protection of laboring
men from unsanitary conditions and
dangerous machinery. In the catego-
ry of unsanitary conditions are to be
mentioned filthy water-closets and
commodes, the i'll ventilation of build
ings and the heating of factories. One
of the worst phases of bad closets is
the natural aversion of men to filthy
conditions and which prevents them
from attending promptly to the de-
mands of nature. The best physicians
have issued their warnings against
such neglect but what can be the re.
suit when men are sickened at the
mere sight of unfavorable arrange
ments.
Dangerous machinery is to be guard
ed against in set screws, gearing and
drive belts; such things are apparent
and can be pointed out without offend
ing the sensibilities of all classes OF
inspectors, but unsanitary conditions
are very unpleasant subjects and re
uuire delicate treatment. Yet there
are no more deadly conditions than
those brought about by bad air and
filthy closets.
The laboring men in the factories
have to toll hard in order to hold theil
places and they are entitled to at leas,
pure air and rooms free from offensive

The plain spoken declarations OF Mr..
Cummins at Centerville relating to
taxation will be regarded by the peo-
pie of Iowa as sufficient guaranty that
their interests will be we'll guarded,
when Cummins is governor. One SEN
tence alone of that speech, covers the
entire ground and is as follows: The
railroad companies cannot complain
if they are compelled to pay taxes upon
valuation which puts them upon an
equality with the owners of lands and
lots" What more is necessary for
voters than this declaration? They
are assured that when elected Mr.
Cummins will be in accord with the
legislature and they are equally well
assured by his past record, that he
will be true to his convictions.
