The need of effective civil government in

as the case is stated. appears to have been
the publication Of libel upon an officer and
the defiant insistence upon his charges
when confronted with formal denials. The
editor in question may be an intriguer with
the insurgents, plotter He may be. as
Gen. Macarthur declares, an incendiary
character whose presence in Manila or any
where else in the archipelago is a menace
to the government. But. IL 50, this does not
appear in the case as thus for presented,
and further explanations are needed. 1t Is
desirable that the admi istration OF affairs
at Manila should be open to legitimate crit
icism. The critic pays the penalty IL he is
in the wrong, and official wrongdoing is ex-
posed and the public service is bettered if
he is right. The editor of the Bulletin ac
cused a port official of false accounting.
If his charges were untrue, as declared, and
maliciously repeated, the administration
surely had the means at hand to punish
him In proportion to his offense. Deporta-
ton. however, should be reserved for more
serious crimes, against the American SOW
ereignty and not against individuals. If
there Is more in this case to sustain the
action Of the military government than ap-
pears on the surface, 1t should by all means
be speedily disclosed to prevent the growth
of the impression that the military censor
ship at Manila is going beyond Its proper
bounds to the detriment of the government.

whole route taken viii show the stamp CT
grim authority. Such were the queen 8
own orders. Were they not to be expected?
Are they inconsistent with the gent,eness
of her life. with her love of peace, with her
long exercised influence for good?
In quarters antagonistic TO her people
and 20 the prestige of the British empire
the queen has been represented as one Of
the victims of the South African war. 1t
has been said that she opposed the war;
that she sought a; every stage to bring it
to a close. In word. it has been declared
in effect that her sympathies were really
with the Beers, and that only her age and
il frmties prevented her from calling a halt
on the whole British program And yet 1t
was known of all that she sent the troops
off to the field with her blessing; that she
took the liveliest interest In their welfare
while they were engaged with the enemy; :;
that she proud Of and respected, the
last request of her grandson who died in
the Transvaa1 to be buried with his COM
radeS who had fallen there. The sovereign,
holding her countrys interests above all
other considerations, appeared in every
word she uttered on the subject and in
every step she permitted to be taken. From
the moment the first hostile shot was fired
the tenderness of the woman had to be,
and properly was. subordinated to the in
queen faltered. with the enemy advancing
in her own territory and beseging her SOL
diers in her own towns, she would have
brought her reign to an inglorious close.
That the queen deplored the war we may
all easily believe. That her heart was
wrung by the losses sustained by both sides
in South Africa follows a matter Of
course. The woman lived in the terrible
drama did the ruler. But the ruler, We
may be sure. was at all times supreme. She
estimated her duty by British standards
Ard by ordering military funeral for her
self she unconsciously rebuked with Ter
last breath the sickly snivel which since
her death has sought to becloud her fame
by charging her with lukewarmness In Of

The ructions of Mrs. Carrie Nation out
in Kansas are proving diverting to those
living al a distance from the scene Of her
operations, but exceedingly distressing to
certain secti1ls of the affected population.
This feminine crusader appears to defy law
and custom as we'll as the fists of ungallant
saloon keepers and the horse whips of irate
women partisans of the liquor business
Nothing can stop her. Having acquired
what may be termed vogue in the matter
of smashing saloons she needs bat to an
nour ce her purpose to transfer her at
tentions to another community to cause
the saloon men of the threatened district
To put up their shutters and bar their doors
Mrs. Nation has the region hypnotized.
1ails deter her not. When arrested, If not
IN mediately quarantined, she secures a re-
lease by pledge to abstain from further
smashing for a few hours. Sherifs quake
before her The law seems paralyzed.
This Is peculiarly Kansas style of do
ing business. 1t is not d style which is to
be commended i'm other communities 1t is
IN way a logical sequence to the burning
OF men at the stake, which follows in large
measure from the practice of Kansas Civ
ernors OF ignoring the death sentence meted
out TO criminals by the courts under the
laws of he state. Mrs. Nation is an expo
nenf or the Kansas method She Is of
course bringing shame to her common
wealth just as other men and women have
brought II fame. She Is contributing heav-
iiy 10 a general disregard Of the orderly
way of enforcing the popular will.
Kansas has been. off and on, a prohibi-
tion state. Throughout the community
there runs a strong strain Of opposition to
liquor selling. The drastic measure adopt-
"d In the past. though orderly, failed to
suppress the evil of drink. Mrs Nations
method surely will fail. Eventually the law
must prevail. even in Kansas.

This fear causes him intense and USE

Enrly Garden VeRetables.

There was time when the gardener
who had his produce ready for the
market earlier than his less enter
prising neighbor was well repaid for
his care and trouble by better prices
for the products. Then the early bird
caught the wealthy consumer. Now
the early worm in the Northern States
finds his profits If not himself picked
up by those in Southern climate who
can plant, grow and put on the mar
ket a crop before the plow can pene-
trate the frozen soil of the Northern
States. We are inclined to think the
chance for profit to-day, for market
gardeners here. is in growing such
crops as will not mature until South
ern produce no longer fills our mar
kets, and perhaps in putting that in
cold storage that 1t may not be brought
out until there are indications that 1t
is much wanted by those who are will
ing to pay liberal prices for 1t. Let
early crops pass by, and strive to grow
crops of such quality as will suit even
those who have been using the earlier
products Of the South, which are not
improved by long transportation

serve no pity if he finds his milk sup
ply SO short next summer that 1t will

may be taken as good Indication of

easily and cheaply grown, SO valuable
If needed for feeding green, and so
easily kept for winter use If not fed in

for failing to produce 1t. There are

Evidently there is better chance for
profit now in growing young stock
either for the dairy or for beef than at
any time in the past ten years, and
perhaps in the last twenty years. But
we have the statistics for the past ten
years rs sent out by the Agricultural
Department at Washington. In 1890
there were in the United States 36S49,-
ga cattle. In 1895, 34,364, 216., Since
that time there has been a steady de-
crease of about two million head per
year, until iii 1890 there were but 81
9I4,225. In 1890 there were $50 cattle
to each one thousand Inhabitants, and
in 1899 only 1913 to each thousand. AS
the number has decreased the price has
Increased. The reports Of the Kansas
City stock yards show the following
prices for prime steers on Aug. 10 for
three years: In 1907, $3.50 per hundred
pounds, 1898 same date 1926, and in
1893 1920. 1t is said that there are not
as many cattle in Texas now as in 1895
by more than 100000. Nor is the de-
cline IN numbers in the United States
alone. Cuba was said to have about
eight hundred thousand cattle in 1895,
and at the close of the war had but
twenty-five thousand. There must
have been greet reduction in South
Africa since the Boer war began, and
Australia has been heavily drawn upon
to feed British troops. If five or ten
years ago farmers in New England or
any of the United States could not
raise or fatten beef profitably to sell
Mt the price Western beef cattle cost
when brought here, it does not follow
that they cannot do both now. Six dol
lars and a quarter per hundred pounds

GIVEN A MEDAL FOR BRAVERY.
Lnay Student caves the Life of a Canoe
ing Ccmpanion.

ing companions
For the first time in the history Of the
State University of Iowa lady student
has been awarded medal for bravery.
This lady is Miss Carolyn Jarvis of Bur
lington, who by one of the bravest deeds
ever witnessed in university circles saved
II. NJ. Pagan from drowning In the Iowa
river. A number Of students were en-
joying the pleasures Of canoe riding on
the river near Corallville when strong
wind capsized the canoe in which Miss
Jarvis and Mr.. Pagan were riding. When
the boat turned over the dress Of the
lady caught on the rail Of the canoe and
she was unable to get loose. Mr.. Pagan
being unable to swim could not assist her
and to save himself from drowning was
obliged to cling to the capsized. canoe.
Where the accident occurred the water
was at least twenty feet deep and the
current, owing to the dam short dis
lance below, was exceedingly strong. The
nearest shore was fully $50 feet away
and none of the canoeing party were close
enough to render assistance. Calling to
the drowning man to hold on, Miss Jar
Wis struck out for the shore and after COM
siderable effort reached it in safety, tow
ing the canoe and man after her. Once
to the shore, help came and both OF the
young people escaped from their predicn-
ment. Miss Jarvis is one of the most.
popular young ladies now in the uniyer-
sity and is an enthusiastic member OF
the ladies' gymnasium class and Is the
champion lady basket ball and tennis
player in the school. Her recent heroic
feat has not lessened her popularity. The
Irving Literary Society by unanimous
vote rendered her medal for bravery.

Mr.. Pagan is member.
