IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The members of the legislature have
already begun to realize that there are
men behind the bills" says the Daven-
port Times.
AS the Carroll Herald looks at it, this
is nation, not confederacy of states.
and 1t is proper to say 1.-The United
States Is" not 1.-The United States are"
The Iowa City Republican presents
another psychological problem for the
wise men to work out. Edward Glaub, a
boy of 16, IN Pittsburg Pa, dreamed
three nights in succession that his little
sister had burned to death. Before he
got to the fourth warning the child
went skating, went too near the fire
built by the skaters, and was burned
fatally.
The Iowa Auseiger expresses
this opinion: 1T is to be deeply regret
ted that two such good and eminent
democrats as Judge Thayer of the Gin
ton Age and ex-Congressman Seerley of
Burlington had to be offered as sacri-
fees to the mogul of partisan policy. 1T
may be deemed an honor to be named
even by only a few votes for the high
office of United States senator. but such
distinguished men as Thayer and Seer
ley deserve more than empty honors!"
The Sioux City Tribune declares that

OF Governor Cummins inaugural the
Nevada Representative suggests that
THE reception of his address by hear
ers and readers must be assurance to
him that he enters upon his high office,
the political leader of his state and the
possessor of Its affection and conf
dence.'
The Boone Republican favors a COM
pulsory education law 1t declares that
Iowa needs such a measure.
Referring to the recommendation of a
S25O,O0O appreciation. the Algona Upper
Des Moines observes that This Is a
large sum of money, and it is doubtful
If even major fraction of it will be Sc
cured"
Without stating how much, the New
Sharon Star is in favor of a good sized
appropriation for the ST. Louis fair,
saving: ..As Iowa is the most important
of all the states carved out Of the Lou
isiana Purchase she should be corre-
spondingly represented at the great fair
to be held in ST. Louis. There should
be no small appropriation in this mat
ter. nothing to make Iowans ashamed
to be seen in the vicinity of the Iowa ex-
hibit Better no exhibit than poor
one. Iowa is at the head of the big pro-
cession and must hold her place with
becoming dignity-as queen of all.
The Newton Journal considers it
doubtful If there are enough republicans
in favor of a change in congressional
districts to pass a measure providing for
it. 1t declares the democrats will ia
vor any plan for a change believing it
would stir up turmoil In the republican
ranks" and 1t suggests that "As we can

from the practically universal use of au-
tomato couplers on freight cars appears
in the records OF accidents and in the
testimony Of railroad officials and en-
rloyes. Further proof from a financial
standpoint is also found in the records of
the railway claim departments, as well
as in those of the several trainmen's as
sociations. The report shows that for
the year ending June so, 1901, the num-
Der of employees killed in coupling acct
dents was less than in the preceding
year by about SO per cent, and the num-
Der injured was less by about so per cent
all of which shows progress in this re-
spect.

THE RAILROAD REPORT.

The leading feature OF the fifteenth
annual report of the interstate commerce
commission, transmitted to congress
yesterday, was reiteration of its In
ability to carry out some of the impor-
tant purposes for which the commission
was created without further legislation
that will enable 1t to enforce It's DEGREES.
II falls back upon the recommendation
hitherto made for this purpose.
It calls attention to fragrant violations
OF the law by the railroads that grant
rebates to five or six big packers OF meat
products, and who destroy all evidences
OF 1t in their offices so that investigation
can not fix the guilt upon them. 1t is
doubtless fair that certain great ship
pers should have lower rates. but they
should all be upon the same footing. The
commission declares that IF these prac-
tices, are right and necessary they ought
not to be unlawful; IL wrong, they
should be stopped That is certainly
good reasoning.
The commission says that while the
general public probably receives some
benefit from these lower rates, in the
main these sums swell the profits of the
packers. These great concerns number
only about five or six, and little distinc-
ton In the rates appears to have been
made between them. The effect is to
give them an enormous advantage over
smaller competitors located at other
points. Already these competitors have
mostly ceased to exist. These disclosures
afford pregnant illustration of the
manner in which secret rate concessions
are tending to build up great trusts and
moropolies at the expense of the small
5 Independent operator. 1t is in line with
the general trend of the concentration of
great Industries in few hands. 1t re-
mains for congress to say what 1t will do
tic attempt to equalize said rates.
The commission makes the gratifying
report that the safety-appllance law be-
came fully effective on Aug. l, 1900 and
the beneflcent results of its operation
are now being realized. The greatly in
creased security to life and limb by
which the men on freight trains and In
freight yards now perform their work is
now apparent on every hand Evidence
Of the improved conditions resulting

1HE DEMOCRATIC POLICY.

: The democratic party is largely at
sea, without a pilot or rudder. as to a
national policy. 1t isn't creditable to
any party in this enlightened era to
be simply against the majority, with
out reason to sustain its contentious.
With it's old policies discredited. Its
theories shown to be fallacious or al
least inferior to those adopted by the
majority Its forces scattered and dis
organized, it has been incumbent upon
some of the democratic leaders in con-
gress to cast about for ground upon
which stand can be made.
Now It Is announced that these dem
ccratic leaders will make their first
effort in support OF substitute they
have prepared to the house tariff bill
for the Philippine islands.
That substitute provides that the
government of the United States shall
relinquish all sovereignty over the
Philippines and turn the islands over
TO their inha bitants as soon as they
have formed stable government and
give guarantees of carrying out the
obligations to Spain assumed by the
United States in the treaty of Paris.
Until that time. the bill declares, the
American Government is to occupy ani
hold the islands. and trade between
them and the United States is to be
free. The bill also declares the islands
to be foreign territory from the date
OF its passage, but provides that the
rate OF duty charged on merchandise
coming from foreign countries shall
not be apply until after the Filipino
government is established and the
American troops withdrawn. 1t also
makes provision for the retention Of
such military and naval stations as
may be required by the United States
The stand thus taken is not un-
worthy the democratic party. If 1T
shall lead on each side to an intelli
gent and fair discussion of the subjec.
in order to bring out all the points In
yolyed In the controversy 1t is un-
dcrtaken. however, with view of di-
yiding the republican forces on the
vote, yet 1t is more than likely that 1t
Will lead to division Of the democrat
ic members The best outcome OF
fair discussion. will be the adoption of
a measure that proves itself the least
open to objection.
It seems certain that our nation can
not successfully adopt and maintain q
policy that involves two diyerging
roads. 1t must legislate upon the
theory that the Philippine group is
permanent possession of the United
States or lose great deal of its ef-
fective force in its efforts in the Is
land. If IT were understood that con-
gress or the people were preparing to
relinuuish these islands 1t would
neutralize our attempts to permanently
benefit them. For this reason 1T ap-
nears unwise to link together policy
Of indefinite retention and final relin-
enlistment. The time may come in the
history of the islands when the United
States will grant the Philippines large
independence, with only nominal con-
troll. but this should be held out as
q hope and not as definite promise.
