The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1901-02-14

The Chicago Times-Herald says that
the Standard Oil company is the only
monopoly in the United States ard
that it is an unqualified blessing. This
sounds natural enough, coming from
republican, but what about the pres
ident's message recommending aLti-
trust legislation? If we have only one
private monopoly in the country, and
that is a benevolent one, why does the
republican party make such a pre-
tense of opposing trusts?

and no prospects Of fair weather. The
farmers have not been able to work in
their farms more than three days dur
Ing the last two weeks. The crops in
many places are in bad condition, in
fact unless we have sunshine and fair
weather large portion of the crops
will be lost. We hope the weather will
moderate for In few days the wheat

the farmers will be pressed to attend
to their crops and grain.
Crops look we'll where they have

the United States, going to Minneso-

with whom at st. Ives she had been
closely acquainted in earlier days,
had emigrated. and there looked after
their spiritual and temporal welfare
in the village of Virginia. She Wis
tied hospital and Jail there, and
preached temperance with some et-
feet. But bad times came on; the
mines were closed, and the popula-
ton dispersed.
After her return TO England Miss
Hobhouse busted herself in unpaid
work under the Women's Industrial
council. She wrote an article on the
conditions of the women who work
in the great dustyards of London, and
also one on the housing of single
women. The war in South Africa in
terested her greatly, and she found
herself in sympathy with the
Friends" who make it one of their
duties to alleviate the horrors OF
every war. She learned something
of the customs and language of the
Beers from Dutch residents or Wis
itors, and eventually determined to
go out and personally distribute the
clothing which had been collected
from plying souls. Her unofficial re-
mort. which has caused so much COM

ALEGAL ABsURDITY.
The improvement Commission Reaping
It's Legitimate Fruits

The Improvement Commission Reaping
It's Legitimate Fruits
At the regular meeting OF the City
Council last night Alderman Henkel oil
the First Ward rose 10 a privileged ques-
tion, and said he desired TO read TO the
Board the following article in the Coun-
ty Record Of this city, which he said was
in line OF action of the Joint Improve
ment Commission, and his views OF the
action toward this Council. The DIR.
read as follows:
1.-The Street Improvement Commission
has its legitimate fruits. II has proved
a fifth wheel to the municipal wagon,
and such creaking of machinery as the
five-wheel wagon moves along has not
been heard in this ancient city since the
days when Amos Garrett was Mayor OF
Annapolis. The Improvement Commit
tee is a legal absurdity. 1t divides au-
thority. without any responsibility, with
the City Council that is the chosen of
the people. The creation OF the COM
mission was a reflection on the City
Council, a confession OF its own inability
to cope with grave official responsibility.
As it is, the present City Council has its
hands tied, and the effort to unite them
produces many unseemly wrangles. The
City Council is the responsible body,
and should have the power to proceed
in its own way TO govern the city.

navy. he prepared orders 10 ships
and officers and Secretary Long signed
them. When Schley failed to execute
Crowninshield' orders as he thought
they should be he criticised him to the
secretary, particularly when Schley
turned back from Santiago to go to
Key West TO coal. That criticism
constituted the beginning of the Samp-
son-Schley controversy. Crowninshield
was born in New York in 1643, was
graduated from the naval academy in
1863 and was Immediately assigned to
the Ticonderoga. He participated in
both attacks on Fort Fisher, became
lieutenant in 1866, lieutenant com
mander in 1868, commandeF in 1880
and captain in 1894. He commanded the
Maine in 1897 and was relieved by Capt.
Sigsbee. Senator Lodge has been a
warm friend of the captain for years,
and Crowninshield's appointment to
the chiefship of the bureau of naviga-
ton in 1897 is attributed to the infiu-
ence of the Massachusetts, senator.
During the war with Spain Crownin-
shield was member of the board of
strategy.
