The publication Of The COlOred Amer
icsn began, eight years ago 20 make 1t
inst what It is tOday-the leading col
ned journal Of the world. 1t has sue
ceedfd You can stick pin here. The
rjse of the PAPER to its present position
of leadership has been steady-nOt arti-
fetal, up today and down tomorrow. 1t
has steadily grown In favor, not be
cause Of personal reason, not at ell, but
because il sought the news of the pro-
gress of the Negro throughout the
world and the states particularly, and
gave it 10 the people, and the letters
below are only those that are sincere,
following the success of the publIca-
ton. coming from the hearts OF gTate-
ful ptOple. TIE COlOTed American to-
dsy has the largest circulation OF any
colOred paper in the country and the
books stand open to prove the fact.
This is not braggidOciO, but the simple
truth, and the time has come to tell 1t.
The paper is original in the extreme
and withal Is an encyclopedia for num-
bers of papers whose managers fail to
credit The e, lOred American. The
editor has ably defended the race at
every tuTn. Nothing dlsCOurRges, but
the least resistance makes the paper in
all departments reach higher and still
higher.
The best staff OF writer's of the race
Is employed here and elsewhere.
Right here has the owner succeeded.
The managers feel indeed grateful to
the host of people of both races who
appreciate their efforts. PeCple Of both
races well understand the fact that this
is an up-tO-date newspaper, which since
its debut has brought successful Ne
erOes to the front in contrast to the bad
element which delight the white pa
pers to publish, The C0lored Ameri-
cans influence is unbounded. The col
OTed people throughout the country
look to 1t for defense ant they get 1
too. No Waveung, but straight forward
republican ever supporting the party
which stands for liberty and against
DISTINGUISHING the Negro in the South

many, which food the Offices of The

warden since his appointment. He
said he had not fully made up his list
of deputies, as it was difficult to OBJ
tain efficient men who were willing to
serve. and wherever possible, in cases
where the deputies that served under
Mr.. Deleyan, his predecessor, were
good men he retained them. He said
one of the most important sources of
aid to him in preventing 0ffenses
against the fish and game laws and in
Furnishing Offenders was found in the
clubs of sportsmen in all parts of the
state. In general these clubs are
made up OF men of good standing, and
they do much to prevent the laws
from being violated.
Hard to Get Evidence.
"Of course" said Mr.. Lincoln, there
are numerous cases where the law is
violated. / hear a great deal of SEM
ing and dynamiting. In many cases
so reported, it is difficult to obtain
any evidence against the offenders.
What | am looking after now espe-
cially is the fish in some of the small
bayous of the state. In places these
have begun to dry UP and the fish in
! them are dying. 1t is necessary to put
the fish in such bayous into the large
lakes and rivers | have just been
down to Montrose, where | found 1T
necessary to move the fish from
bayou, into the river. | understand
some work of this kind is needed up in
the vicinity of Spirit Lake.
In the way of transplanting fish,
nothing, of course, can be done at this
season of the year, but we are making
preparations for doing good deal
along that line this fall. The reports
l have from the fish ponds at Sabula
. are very encouraging, and indicate
we will have large number of fish
to distribute about the state when the
weather becomes suitable Practically
: the whole supply is obtained from the
Mississippi in the vicinity of Sabula.
The United States government is de-
voting much attention to brook trout
and seems to be taken up with brook
trout almost entirely Here in Iowa
there is little use trying to do any
thing of that sort. The streams in
most cases are too warm and they will
: not live. Up about DEBORAH and in
Clay county, / am told, there is good
trout fishing. What We need is main
: ly bass, croppies and catfish. In fact
> for eating purposes, | do not know
that the catfish can easily be excelled
: 1t is easily handled, and can be trans
:, planted from one side of the state t.
!, the other without difficulty"

hopes, however, to arrange for stat

GOOD READING.

There is much encouragement in
the statements made by the prominent
librarians of the country, comprising
the American Library association
which is now holding its annual con-
vention at Waukesha, Wis. The con-
sensus of opinion OF these men, who
are in constant touch with the literary
pulse of the nation, is that the people
of the United States are improving in
general literary taste. That the char.
acter of books demanded in public
libraries is all the time growing bet,
ter and that the people who patronize
these public libraries are becoming
more and more disassociated from
those who are in the habit of reading
trash and the lighter grades of fiction
The opinion is expressed that the his
torical novel of the present day while
it may not in fact give great deal O.
actual history, nevertheless serves tt
arouse an interest in history and cal
attention to special phases of it.
Good reading is of more value to tn
youth of the nation than almost an
other influence that comes into thel
lives. If every young man and youn
woman Of intelligence in OttumW
would from this day forward make
a fixed rule of their lives to do som
reading each day in books that ar
recognized standards in literature, nil
tory or science, there would be in tn
: course OF very few months, a mos
! surprising literary Development in thi
! community that would be of immens
| value to all concerned.

THE DECLINE OF THE ANTS
(From the Worlds Work. J

What is to be the future of the anti
imperialist party? The concrete re,
suits of its activity are the encourage
ment of the insurgents in the Philip
pines, the Overwhelming defeat of Mr..
Bryan, and the nursing of opposition
to the United States in Cuba. 1t is a
party of dire predictions, none of which
have come true. 1t declared that we
never could put down the instruction
in the Philippines; but Aguinaldo is
now advising peace and the war is
ended, and civil government is super
seding military rule. 1t predicted that
we would grab land III China, but the
influence Of the United States has been
the one continuous and the most dom
sentative force for the preservation of
the Chinese empire. 1t predicted the
violation of our faith with Cuba, but
| the Platt amendment is the safeguard
against annexation. 1t predicted the
downfall of our liberties and the rise
of militarism but the army has been
reduced and no man can say specifi-
cally wherein American liberty has
| been abridged.

ening to humanity as well as to the
plant life There is a dread thought
crosses the mind that perhaps the or
binary processes of nature have got
out of gear and something is to hap
pen that will be appalling.
The prayer is for rain, rain 1t
comes from all classes of people. from
those who live in comfortable homes
where the curtains can be closed to eX-
clude the hot rays and yet whatever
cool currents of air may be floating
around, can be admitted to give hope
and comfort to the weary. There are
groves of trees that afford shade and
these surround the better class of
dwellings but what is to be said for the
little houses on the flats where there
is neither yerdure nor trees; nothing
but banks of sand and cinders on
which the sun pours down it's hottest
flashes and this is reflected back as if
from a mirror in the faces of the in
habitants What shall be imagined OF
the condition of a fever stricken man,
woman or child. compelled to lie on a
bed and in the same room where the
kitchen fire is kindled three times a
! day and in the midst of this torture OF
| fiery heat the poor patient losses vain

mot fall during the next two weeks anc
this torrid condition should prevail
! Those who do not know Iowa well may
have misgivings now and fears, bu
never yet has Iowa weather failed tt
modify itself to the necessities of the
season. There has never been tota
failure OF corn, nor of any other pro
duct necessary to life. The heavens
at this time are forbidding, but so sur
as the earth revolves the rain vii

comfort to the weary. The spell ma
be broken by gentle shower, or b
signalized by violent peals of thunde
and vivid lightning, but it will be we
coined all the same trusting in tn
Providence that has hitherto guarde
and preserved the state from grea
calamities.
The rains will come to bless and prt

murings and misgivings.

IhE-RAIN Will COME.

The heavens refuse to yield their
treasures of rain and the thirsty earth
gapes wide its myriad mouths waiting
yainly for water. The sun rises and
begins to pour its fierce rays down at
an early hour and as 1t mounts to the
zenith. increases its power and withers
vegetation as if by the hot blast of a
furnace fire. The sky does not wear
its accustomed benevolent aspect but
is brazen, dry, maleyolent and threat

"EoR. AS The LEAVES

Almost every exchange reaching the
Courier table during the past three or
four days has contained in it's obituary
columns, the following announcement
or words to the same effect:
Death came very suddenly, with
scarcely any warning. A man who the
day before appeared to be annoying
the best of health, was called away
and the entire community mourns in
consequence"
The Courier published a similar
statement in chronicling the sudden
death of Ottumwa's honored citizen,
DR.. B. F. Hyatt In may respects the
work of the exchange edltor, is mel.
ancholy one at this time he is for
chilly reminded of the eternal verify so
beautifully expressed by that ancient
poet, Homer, who said:
| For as the leaves
| Such is the race of man.
The wind shakes down the leaves
The budding grove
Soon teens with others
And in the spring they grow.
So pass mankind
One generation meets it's destined
period.
| And a new succeeds"
What an infinitestimal atom is man;
One man dies; a hundred die! ter
Thousand die; hundreds of thousands
die. The local community, the state
the nation, the world go on just The
same. Today we are here, tomorrow
where are we? Is there any thinking
consciousness that believs that THU
brief, fleeing, infinitesimal earthl.
existence, is the all in all? If SO, VIII.

WILL BE PLENTY OF GAME.
George A. Lincoln, of Cedar Rapids,
Saws SO,

There's going to be a lot of game
in the state this fall" says George A.
Lincoln of Cedar Rapids, state fish and
game warden. sSportsmen all over
the country say they never saw so
much. There is an usual number OF
quail. Everywhere they are remark
ably, abundant; and there is certain to
be fine hunting in the state this fall
if we can keep the pot hunters in
check.
Fishing in the state this season has
been unusually good. When was at
Spirit Lake and Olkoboji recently saw
some catches that We're enormous. In
fact, some of the fishermen there took
out more fish than they should, but
there is no way to prevent it"
Mr.. Lincoln took up the general
subject of his work as fish and game
