difficult to imagine the United States

Candidates for commissioner in the
Sd district are being mentioned for
nomination. The populists of Long
Island and Dayton townships are anx-
ious to have Joel Colby nominated.
Mr.. Colby is a successful farmer, a
very popular man and would undoubt-
eddy be elected if nominated. He
would make an excellent officer. The
people of Glenwood and neighboring
townships are pushing DR.. Burt for
the place. The doctor is an old time
populist and true blue. If elected he
would make first class commission
er. Other possible candidates were
mentioned in this paper some time
ago.

Like Running a Hotel.

Running a newspaper is just like
running hotel, only different. When
a man goes into hotel and finds some
thing on the table which does not
suit him, he does not get up and raise
hades with the landlord and tell him
TO stop his darned old hotel. Well
hardly. He sets that dish to one side
and wades into some of the many
dishes that do suit him. 1t is differ
ent with some newspaper readers.
They find an article occasionally that
does not suit them exactly and, with
out stopping to think it may please
hundreds of other readers make a
grand stand play of their supreme ash
ninity and hasten over to stop their
paper-Falls City (Neb. Journal.

What it Means to Railroad Men.

Estimates have varied regarding
the number of railway employees who
are likely to lose their jobs in conse-
quence of the Capitalization of ex-
ecutive work, the abolition of COM
peting agencies and the consolidation
of traffic and accounting departments.
One railroad traffic manager says that
the railroads in the big combinations
already formed can do away with the
service of $4,000 persons now employ
ed. Another railroad man puts the
figure at $4,000, and there are many
estimates at from $4,000 up.-New

A Fated People.

When Paul Kruger declared that
the war between. the South African
republics and the British would be
carried on at cost that would stagger
humanity, he was prophet of truth
It was not conceivable that the strug-
gle which was begun so readily by the
British should cost what the conflict
has already cost in blood and treasure.
And now that the British commander
in-chief in the field has announced
that he will carry on war of exter-
mination the frightful price is becom-
ing even more appalling.
Kitchener'S proclamation will have
no effect upon the Beers. 1T has been
long apparent that the men who left
their farms to repel the invaders were
prepared for exile or death if need be.
They have been in the last ditch so
many times that nothing that Kitch-
ener can say or do will have the slight
est moral effect upon them. Putting
aside the question of the justice of
their cause, the Beers have made a
noble defenSe-a defense that COM
mands the admiration Of the civilized
world, and might have commanded
more than that had the world been as
firmly convinced of the justice of their
contention as it was of the firmneSS of
their determination to struggle to
the bitter end.
There is little hope for the burgh-
ers. 1t is most certainly exile or
death for those who retain their arms,
and destruction for those who sympa-
thiZe with or succOr them. Kitchener
is the kind of man to carry out the
! Instructions that Chamberlain has
given him, and there is no touch of
human feeling in the minister who
must sacrifice people to save party.
From this time on the war will be
conducted on the same ruthless lines
that mOrked the progress Of the Sir
dar in the Soudan. The stories that
were told of his methods in the Sou
dan, when he ordered the wounded
followers of the Mahdi to be slain in
cold blood, are recalled in the pitilesS
sentences of his declaration of war
of determination against the Beers.
A man without ruth is essential to
the welfare of an empire that grows
by conquest, and Great Britain has
never wanted for men who would car
ry on war of determination when
nothing else would bend the will of
an obstinate foe. Something may
happen to avert the wiping out of the
Beers, but it is not likely to. The
effect of the war will be to destroy for
many years the development of the
riches of the Transvaal. The Beers
give evidence of the possession of that
stubborn spirit which for hundreds of
years and until the race had been
undermined DO the famine and foreign
blood mixtures the Irish in op-
position to the English.
The Beers have proved themselves
worthy of a better fate than to be
wiped out by man who earned bis
laurels by stamping Kipling's "Fuz-
zy-Fuzzy" into the sands of the desert.

Workingmen in New Zealand are
considered intelligent enough to hold
any position in the nation, and are
elected to them. Here it is different.
Only the rich can hold the important
places. How long since a laboring
man was elected to the senate or a
place in the cabinet? New Zealand
has better laws and administered with
more justice than this country. Is it
because the laboring people there are
more intelligent than here? 1t is up
to you for solution.

A Lively Campaign in Iowa.

Iowa politics are going to be inter
esting this year. There is strong
prohibition sentiment against Cum
minis, and the Democrats are pointing
in exultation to the meaningless
plank in the Cedar Rapids platform
on taxation and the bitterness en-
gendered in the ranks of the anti
CumminS faction during the campaign
preceding the state convention" as
important factors to be utilized by
them between now and the election.
It is thought probable that the
most strenuous efforts of the republt-
can campaign managers cannot hold
the prohibition element in line for
Cummins, who in the legislature took
a stand against prohibition and won
the lasting enmity of its most radical
adherentS.
The prohibition party has been
growing in Iowa ever since the repub-
licans were said to have abandoned
the principles of prohibition, and this
year it is expected that more SubStan-
tial gains will be made than ever be-
fore. Last fall about 10000 votes
were polled. This year the chairman
declares that the party will poll at
least 5000. and from the present
status of affairs his claims do not
seem improbable of fulfillment. 1t is
estimated that in some counties sew
eral hundred votes will be received
where in the past practically none
have been cast. The fight will be
made all over the state. It has al
ready been commenced, in fact, and
many meetings have already been
held. The plan of placing an organ
izer in every congressional district and
keeping him there the year around is
being tried this year At present
men are at work in the northern part
of the state, and more will start out
in a few weeks.
Every county will be organized by
the party. Last year county tickets
were placed in the field ia about
thirty of the counties of the state.
This year full tickets will be nomi-
mated in every county, and candidates
for the legislature will be placed in
the field. Probably none of them will
be elected. 1t is calculated rather
that they will make good showing,
and will assist in perfecting the Or
CARNATIONS and holding meetings.
This is one of the principal aims of
the committee this year. Organiza-
tion is the watchword, and it will be
pushed from start to finish. The real
object is not to make a successful
campaign this year, but to get things
in readiness for better efforts in the
future. A complete roster of the
prohibition voters of the state is being
prepared for this purpose.
The democratic convention will in
all probability adopt strong plat
form. dealing with reforms in the tax
alton of railroads and franchises and
with the need of a change in the laws
governing the railroad commiSS ion.
at the present time the railroad COM
mission is recognized as little else
than a nonenity in doing anything
that will benefit the public. The
democrats will advocate policy that
will enhance its powers and enable
the people to get some good out of it
rather than permit the railroads to
make use of it for their own welfare.
