NOT ALL BAD BUT
Republicans and Their Policie. and
Their Eject ON the Cow
eminent.

A republican reader reminds the
editor that republicans are not all
bad, and that democrats are not all
good. 1t wise and truthful, al
though not an original, remark. No
one is SO partisan as to believe that
his own party is perfect, and that no
other party contains any virtue.
The republican party was entrust.
ed with power in 1896; it is now in
control of the executive, the legisla.
tive and judicial branches OF the gov
eminent. The Commoner points out
from time to time the evil tendency
OF republican policies. All republic.
ans do not approve of what the re
publican party is doing, nor do all
republicans fully realize the exten,
to which the moneyed interests have
secured control of the republican or
ganization. In criticising republican
policies, the Commoner does not wish
to leave the impression that the dem.
ocratic party, or any other party
would administer the government to
perfection, but 1t does believe that
the democratic party would apply
safer principles, and support wiser
policies than the republican party is
now doing.
The democratic party is not under
obligations to the corporations, and
therefore, would be free to give the
people protection from corporate
greed; the republican party is unde,
obligation to the corporations, and
cannot be expected to give the PEG.
pie relief from their exactions.
While not all of the democrats ere
opposed to Imperialism, nearly all
are, and the majority would control
Most OF the republicans either favor
imperialism, or, if they oppose It.
have not the courage to overthrow
the leadership which has fastened
the policy on the government.-The

ALittle Farce in Taxation.

The Standard Oil announces a divi-
dend of sl2,0Oo,OOO. 1t is one Of several
dividends in a year. OF this $4,000
600 it is admitted that John ID. Rock
feller gets s4,0Oo,OOO. 1t is all cash.
1t Is all personal property.
Mr.. Rockefeller, who in one day
pockets s4,OO0,OO in cash, and proba-
bly, has on hand at no time less than
one or two hundred millions of person
al property, is assessed by the tax au-
thorities at s4,OO0,O0O.
1t would be interesting to know how
the tax assessors reconcile themselves
to the idea thata man who collects
$4,000, 1000 Of dividends in one day is
worth only 100000 in personal proper
ty. 1t makes the idea of equality be-
fore the law, of equality in taxation
and so on, seem rather comical, does
it not?- Chicago American.

WINS her CASE.
MRS. jackson, Driven Insane by the
Action of Alleged Heirs, Will
Get Her Husbands Property.

A remarkable case of insanity,
where the cause was the doubts
raised in common law wife's
rights to property, came to o happy
termination in Sioux City. Mrs.
Mary Jackson returned from an in
sane asylum, cured, and at the same
time the was made that
compromise had been effected by
which she was to secure her rights as
awife to property left by Gustav jack
son, of Kingsley.
When jackson died, over year ago,
his brothers in this country and in
Sweden set up claim for his property,
valued at $4,000. Mrs. jackson re-
sisted the claims as wife by common
law marriage. 1t was shown that she
had never been married to Jackson by
due process of law, but had worked
for him and they had sworn to become
husband and wife. A child had been
born to them. The court granted the
wife funds to defend herself, but
never passed upon the question Of
whether or not the marriage was legal.
The allegations of the claimants that
the marriage was not legal SO worked
upon the womanly sensibilities Of the
wife that she became insane and some
three months ago was sent to an
asylum.
The heirs have been prevailed upon
to settle by accepting nominal sum,
and will not oppose suit which the
wife will bring to quiet her title to
property of the estate.

PEELED from Church.

Prof. George D. Heron, former APP
piled Christianity professor in Iowa
college at Grinnell, is no longer a
Congregationalist. He was tried by q
council of ministers and elders of the
church representing eight organiza-
tons, sitting at Grinnell, on charge
OF conduct unbecoming Christian
and gentleman" Evidence was in
troduced to show cruel treatment OF
his Unusually loyal and devoted
wife," which finally resulted in di-
vorce proceedings and legal separa-
ton. A lengthy letter from DR.. Her
ron was presented in his defense, but
at the close of its consideration the
council decided the charges were sus.
tanned and voted unanimously to ex-
pei him from the church.

ness.-Indianapolis News Qnd.).
Mr.. Mckinley is consistent in
at least one thing. He never appoints
an antitrust man to position where
he can injure the trusts. He at least
knows his "plain duty" to the trusts.

dend. This is one Of the infant in
dustries" which was to have been
assisted by Mr.. Hanna's original shin
subsidy bill.-Kansas City Times.
WHY abuse Mr.. Knox?' asks

speak the truth? The only charge
against Mr.. Knox is that he has been
the attorney for the steel concerns
and now that the steel trust has beef
formed in direct violation of the
Sherman act, the chances are that hi
will protect rather than prosecuts
the new concern. Where is the abuse

Where three statcs-Iowa, Nebras-
| shining shaft of stone stands near

Charles Floyd, who died while with
the Lewis and Clarke exploration
party in 1904. This monument to the
only member of the party who died
and the first white man who laid
down his life in the service of the
government on the newly acquired
territory was dedicated on Memorial
day with. fitting ceremonials. The
bronze tablets attached to the sides
of the base were made in New York
and weigh over half ton each. On
one side the inscription is the simple
fact:
In memory of Sergt. Charles Floyd, the
first white man who sacrificed his life in the
exploration of the Louisiana purchase, Au-

The other tablet gives bit of his
tory of the association and the inter-
esting facts regarding Sergt. Floyd.
For the benefit of his health Floyd
joined the expedition of Lewis and
Clarke, which pushed up the Missouri
river to the present site of Sergeant
Bluffs, ten miles south Of Sioux City's
site, before he was taken violently

was buried in the edge of one of the
bluffs near by. The exploring party
reluctantly went on up the Missouri
river, and finally reached the Pacific
coast, returning as it came, overland.

Baltimore Sun relates this refreshing
bit of Virginia simplicity:
"Rev. a. Harrison Burroughs Off
ciated at the marriage this week of an
interesting rural couple from Bland
The bride was arrayed in a
cloth not unlike the gray Kentucky
jeans in color and wore rubbers over
her tan slippers. The groom was
equally rural in his appearance. Fol-
lowing the ceremony the parson in.
vited the couple to dinner at his hotel.
Thanks" said the groom, in droll
voice, 1--WE don't keer fur anything; we
have sweetcakes a-plenty to last till
we git back" The young man then
rammed his hand into his overcoat
pocket and pulled out quantity of
ginger snaps, which he divided equally
with his bride, and the two ate heart
lily. They went back on the first train
as means of keeping down expenses"

II will be generally admitted that
the Industrious hen has done much

It will be generally admitted that
the industrious hen has done much
pr.,cc,,on for for mankind, and
deserves to lead a
~ ~ life of pla d y
and comfort. She is Woodworking,
persevering member of society, and
we all of us owe her gratitude. To be
sure, she has way of going on a
strike occasionally, in the winter
time, and refusing to lay, but even
such exhibitions of eccentricity
should not lessen our affection and
respect. Down in Connecticut they
propose to show this affection in a
new way. A bill has been passed by
the house of representatives in that
state providing fine of 500 or a
maximum Imprisonment of two years
for the theft of poultry, and also es-
tablishing standing reward of $50
for anyone giving information that
leads to the conviction of a chicken
thief. If this bill becomes law, OBJ
serves an interested contemporary,
the deserving hen should be able to
perform her accustomed duties in
greater peace. 1t may even lead to
an increase in the number of eggs,
for no longer will the hen be haunt
ed by the fear of unwelcome visits
to the chicken-coop upon the part of
persons having no business there. If
the removal of such a cause for
anxiety has q beneficial mental eff
fect-as, no doubt, it will have-why
should It not help the industry in
which she engages? The proposed
Connecticut law will have the appro-
val of oil good friends of the hen,
and will be accounted q good meas
