HANDKERcH1EFs FOR A WEEK.
One Fer Each Day Shown in a Down
Town Store,

Bridal sets of handkerchiefs," which
are shown in a downtown store, are as
dainty as their name would indicate.
In each set are seven handkerchiefS,
one for each day in the week. hi
squares are of the finest French linen,
hand-woven and hand-embroidered.
They are finished with a hemstitched
border one-quarter of an inch wide. In
one corner is embroidered, with eXqui-
site d%aintiness, a floral design in which
Is introduced the name of the day Of
the week.
Mondays handkerchief has a cluster
of violets-the flowers and foliage
caught with a graceful lovers knot.
Tuesday has a pretty design of a rake,
hot, s~pringling an, and garden hat,
with vines twining in and out, with the
lovers knot effectively introduced.
For Wednesday there is a cluster of
clematis caught with the lovers knot;
for Thursday, a Louis XIV. basket, with
scattered daisies and a fiuttering but
terfy. In the corner of Fridays sheer
linen square is a dove-the symbolic

War and the Birth Rate.
War not only influences the mortali-
ty of the army in the field, but has a
malehcient effect on the birth rate and
death rate of the country which is
fighting. A low birth rate may be eX-
planned, to some extent, by the fact
that when a nation is at wal her people
at home are less prosperous and conse-
qnently marriages are not so frequent.
The increase of the death rate oc-
ours, probably, for the reason that food
is scarcer and also because at a time
when a country is engaged in a disas-
trous war the minds of its inhabitants
are adversely affected. Those who are
in delicate health, or who are attacked
with sickness, succumb much more
readily when the spirits are low than
when in a normal condition. 1t is, in
deed, the reaction of the mind upon the
body.-Medical Record.

GREAT CITY CORRUPTION.

Corruption in government has been
more conspicuous as a feature of some
of our large cities than elsewhere. The
disclosures made this week Of extensive
bribery and boodling in ST. Louis is a
rainful revelation of dishonesty Of pub
lie officials of that city. BY the unex-
pected return from Mexico of j. K.
Murrell, who was under indictment for
receiving brides as public officer and
his astonishing testimony before the
grand jury, eighteen members of the
former and present house of delegates
are being arrested as fast as found.
Murrell, whose conscience goaded
him into confession, aGmitted that he
held the key to the box in the Lincoln
Trust Company containing $4,000 of
bribe money to go to the house of dele
gates upon the passage of the Suburban
street railroad franchise bill; that this
money was put up as the purchase
price for votes of the combine involved,
that price having been agreed upon. He
also testified that shortly before the
Suburban bill was passed the combine

The comparison was representative
one. There are cheap priced dailies to
be had for the mere subscribing, but
in every case a man gets what he pays
for. ard mighty little more. While the
tendency of the daily press in Iowa, es-
pecially among those that enter COM
petitive fields, has been to cheaper the
subscription price and hence the quail
ity, since something can seldom be
profitably sold for nothing, the Tines
Republican has steadily increased its
quality with its price unchanged. New
and costly machinery has been in
stalled, labor freely added and its spe-
cial and general Geographic news SER
vice greatly enlarged, until 1t stands
without an equal in Iowa. Its manage
ment believes that there is legitimate
field III Iowa for a newspaper that sells
upon merit at fair price, with no bar
gain counter receptions of something
being offered for nothing. Few busy
men in this present day world have the
time to read more than one daily paper,
and the Times-Republican presumption
is that they want that one to be the
best, the fairest, most comprehensive
and most accurate newspaper that they
can buy.

DENOUNCED 81 BRYAN,

Who has said anything severer of
Iowa democrats than William Jennings
Bryan? He repudiates the party of
Iowa. He is the only accredited leader
who has any considerable following.
Half the membership Of the party In
this state still holds to his views. Do
they sustain him when he says the par
ty In Iowa Is cowardly' on the money.
question, that the democrats dare not
put their plan in print or ask for its en-
doris ment at the polls? Can they re-
fuse to approve his statement when he
declares They show small respect for
the intelligence Of the people when they
assume that the voters can be fooled
Nby such lodging and equivocations. If
| the democratic party can not be trusted
| to state its position on the money dues
| ton, 1t can not be trusted to stand by a
position on any question, and the timid
souls who beat retreat on finances are
The democrats Of Iowa must either
acknowledge that they are towards and
unworthy Of confidence, or that they
were wrong on the money question.
Which horn of the dilemma will they
accept?
In 1896 the money question was the
only issue of Importance; in 1900 it was
still the chief issue. The party was then
making its greatest effort in the ma
tional field. This year, on account of
the congressional elections, its chief
aim is in the national arena. 1t hopes
to capture several congressional dis
tricts; but, as Bryan says, democrats
show little intelligence when they ex-
pect the people will be fooled.

THE M'kiNLEY MEMORIAL.

Tomorrow will be Mckinley memo
rial day and meetings will be held in
many churches in the nation to honor
the memory of the statesman whose
death occurred a year ago.
| AS his grand figure recedes into the
east greater halo gathers around 1t.
His character in itself has been an en-
nobling study since his death. One of
the best tributes to his sterling quail
| ties was that recently made in the
Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post by
Charles Emory Smith, who was post
master general in Mcklnley's cabinet.
An able and graceful writer, the author
OF this tribute presents a pen picture of
his subject such as is rarely seen Of
public man, q contribution as we'll to
choice literature of this era as it IS Of
portraiture Of character. With Keen
analysis, he presents vivid view of
William, Mckinley. His solidity Of
character, his firmness in decision. his
tactfulness in securing the views of
advisers, his thoughtfulness of others
around him, his gentleness, and his.
charming personality, al. receive atten-
ton, but above all and beyond all his
greatness in the chief Office Of the ma
ton and in directing :ts affairs in
critical period OF war with a foreign
nation brought out his figure in strong
relief as one Of the greatest of the pub
lie men the country has honored with
the presidency.
Some new facts are. brought out by
General Smith showing
how McKinley's wisdom and firmness
so directed the conduct of the Spanish
American war as to bring the best re-
suits. When the Spanish forces were
surrounded at Santiago. and the gen.
eral commanding appealed to be all
lowed to move out and thus avoid a
conflict. proposition which our own
generals approved, President Mckinley
said no. He knew 1t meant prolonga-
s
ton of the struggle and quickly decided
against it. Again when he same Span
ish general desired to surrender and
march out with side arms he promptly
decided against 1t. Nothing but an un-
conditional surrender would be consid-
cred and when the enemy yielded to his
terms his wisdom was acknowledged
but he would not allow word OF praise
for his action to go to the public from
his cabinet.
The country will do well to honor his
memory and to recall the traits he dis
played with such becoming modesty as
to stamp him one of the noblest of his
