nearly sixteen years; 1t was enacted by
the Twenty-first general assembly in
1886 and it's provisions have been quite
faithfully enforced in the public schools
or the state since then. Children in all
the grades have been gwen some SORT
OF instruction from text books or other
wise upon the evil effect of over-indul-
gence in both stinluiants and narcotics
There has been no general dissatisfac-
ton with the measure and no attempts
whatever have been made to repeal the
law or modify it's mandatory provis
ions.
However, it is difficult to estimate
just what the exact influence of this
temperance instruction in Iowa has
been, that is, it's positive influence. 1t
is safe to say that it has done no harm
and that it has done some good, but
how much positive good is uncertain
Whether it has decreased Indulgence
iii alcoholic drinks and tobacco there is
no means Of ascertaining definitely, al
tho there is something in statistics to
justify the claim that there has been
little or no decrease in the per capita
consumption of alcoholics and tobacco
in Iowa and particularly not in tobacco.
But it may also be said that the full
influence of the instruction has not yet
been felt, inasmuch as the generation
of children who received the instruc-
ton has not entirely reached manhood
and womanhood as yet. In another
decade it will be better time to judge
OF the results.
1t does seem, however, that proper
temperance instruction AUST bear some
fruit. All these sixteen years of em-
phasis upon the evils of over-indul-
gence in stimulants and narcotics sure
ly have left some impression upon the
boys and girls and If there is anything
in education at all the rext generation
OF Iowa men and women must be more
temperate in their habits of smoking
and drinking. II yourg men whose
eyes have been thoroughly opened to
the evils of intemperance continue in
the ways of their fathers there seems
little hope in ever making men give
up their bibulous ways. But whether
boys and girls heed their instruction or
not. it is due them that they be told
what evil intemperance will bring upon
them and tho the results Of the Iowa
law may be uncertain 1T may well re-
main on the statute books.

It will be noticed that there is a peri
d cd of sixty days when an otherwise
qualified voter may lose his ballot thru
removal from one county to another, a
change over which he may have no
control in business way. This seems
to be a defect that might be remedied.

lead to some confusion ought not to de-

require a change Of the constitution,

AMERICANS Losr IN The saJrFLs.

Inc Isle OF FINES is an lSlanQ OlreCtly
south OF Cuba. about forty miles of
shore. 1t is about thirty miles across
each way. and has been grouped as a
part Of Cuban territory, tho when Gu
ban independence was assured 1t was
understood that the Isle of Pines would
become part Of our governments pos
sessions. Many people from the United
States were induced to settle there on
this understanding, including not a few
from Iowa. 1t appears now from a
statement from Washington that the
island has apparently been lost in the
diplomatic shuttle" that has been going
on between our nation and Cuba, and
that the Inhabitants of the island are
getting very much worried over the
situation, and are anxious to find out
whether they owe their allegiance to
Cuba or to the United States. There
i are about 500 Americans on the island,
and they have. sent one of their num-
Der. Mr.. j. III. Pearcy, to Washington
to learn their exact status, II possible.
Up to May Goth last the people of the
Island were satisfied that they were Cit
liens OF the United States, but on the
day of the withdrawal of American au-
thority over Cuba, the Isle of Pines was
temporarily turned over to the Cuban
government. Mr. Pearcy says:
The Americans on the island are In
a quandary, and they have sent me to
Washington to investigate and learn
lust where we stand. The Cubans real
ly exercise no authority over us, ex-
cept that they have on the Isle of Pines
eight guards to preserve order, and an
alcalde, or minor judicial officer
I'm point of fact, there, is no more
law on the island than there is in an
African jungle. In Nuev; Corona, the
chief town Of the Isle of Pines, which
has population OF about 500, we have
not judge, notary public, justice of the
peace, constable nor magistrate. If you
want any papers executed you must go
to Bejucal, the nearest Cuban town to
the island. It's distance is 100 miles,
sixty by water and forty by rail.
more than one-half of the Isle of
Pines is now owned by Americans. Or
iginally the land was owned by twenty
five Spaniards, nearly all of whom lived
in Spain. The island served as a re-
cruiting station for Spanish soldiers
during the period OF Spain's trouble
with Cuba prior to the war with Spain.
The Spanish soldiers We're sent to the
Isle of Pines to become acclimated be-
fore being transferred to Cuba. A penal
colony was also maintained on the is
land by Spain. 1t is remarkable fact
known on the island. In natural re-
sources the Isle of Pines is really rich
er than Cuba. We have vegetables all
the year round, and in December and
January we have the most delicious
watermelons and canteloupes to be
found"
The gentleman quoted will seek In
formation from President Roosevelt,
tho it may require more legislation or
negotiations to determine the islands
real place. AS our government needs
coaling stations 1t would be well to re-
tain it.

be the fair thing for it to do as between

1t is the judgment of the Des Moines
Register and Leader that the dipsoma-
MIA statute sis one Of the best reforma-
| tory laws which Iowa has enacted ir
recent years" The Des Moines paper
believes the law will result in the cure
| of thousands of cases of habitua
drunkenness and will act as a deterrent
upon those who are becoming drunk
ards. IF any serious objection to the
statute as 1t is" ADDS the Register and
Leader, "is raised by the courts, the
Legislature should and undoubtedly will
make any necessary amendments to
give this new method of treating drunk
enness full and satisfactory trial."
"Can any one tell what the demo-
cratic party stands for in this CAM
paign?" asks the Des Moines Capital.
The Shenandoah Sentinel believes
the law ting confirmed inebri-
ates is "a splendid measure and its
beauties are only beginning to appear.
In its opinion the statute will do more
to drive out the curse of drunkenness
than any other law in the code OF
Iowa."

The Oskaloosa Herald AYERS that
THE Iowa farmer hasn't forgotten the
day, just four years ago, when the best
horse on his place would not bring over
$40, and his hogs would not bring the
value of the corn fed to them. The
Iowa farmer does not care to return to
these conditions. He will vote the re-
publican ticket"
After what Secretary Shaw and SEN
ator Allison have said on the Iowa plat
form, the following from the Cedar
Rapids Republican exhibits considera-
Bile bitterness: "All efforts to bolster up
an idea that is so ambiguous as the
Iowa idea will prove futile. Its inser-
ton in the platform was the monu-
mental blunder Of this year, In all of
American politics. 1t was a reyersion
to the ambiguity and cowardice and
efforts to steal the thunder OF demo-
Gratis that characterized the republican
platforms before republicans were fin
ally forced, in 1886. to take a bold stand
on the monetary question. There is
nothing clear cut nothing definite.
nothing courageous and nothing honest

 The president met the situa tion forced on him by Senator T'illman in the only proper way.
