 One of the plans is for simmer en- campments near the larger cities where the children of the poor have a vacation away from the heat few days. Another plan is for salvage brigade in the larger cities. This will aid the poor in taking care of themselves and obtaining food, clothing and necessaries of life at mimi mum cost.
 The plan Is to send around the cities and collect all waste articles collect them in a depot and put them in marketable condition. By selling these, other articles can be bought which are in turn sold to the poor for almost nothing.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer Dem)
says: Attention is called to the fact
that George Washington had no off,
cial yacht. incidentally it might be re-
marked that the first President had no
furnace in his cellar, and no plumbing,
and no telephone, and no automobile,
and no daily paper. There were lot
of good things that George missed"
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd) says: Those cities which hur-
ried along asphalting work during the
existence of the asphalt trust appear
to have expended a lot of money need
lessly, and then the trust was not saw
ed from bankruptcy. A considerable
amount of work of the kind has just
square yard, as against S2.75 paid a
year ago. This very large reduction
may not be entirely related to the col
lapse of the trust, but it seems to have
some connection Herewith.
The Nashville American (Dem.) says:

to Senator Hoar when they were dis
cussing the war between the New

When Capt. Hobson was at the
Chautauqua assembly he entered a
barber shop where he was not known,
says the Ottawa Herald. He got into
chair and the barber commenced to
discourse.
"Of course 1t was a nervy thing to
do. and Hobson did 1t we'll enough,
but that little trick at Santiago bay
turned out to be boys play. And then
that kissing business-say, if that
wouldn't make a man sick. Any time

rs Hobson here?"
Not so you can notice it," said the
barber.
"Over at the Marsh house they told
me he had come over here to get
shaved" persisted the man. Then a
great light broke into the mind of the
barber. His knees felt wabbly, and he
looked a trifie pale, but screwing up
his courage he grasped the hair of the
man in the chair and turning his head
looked into his perfectly demure coun-
tenance.
Are you Hobson?" he asked.
Yes" came the reply in that deep.
ful voice that belongs to the hero of
the Merrimac, I'm Hobson."
The shave was finished in a silence
so intense that the waving of the mid
day heat made a strange, whistling
roar outside.

decently in the matter of pensions and
places, notwithstanding the fact that
the government is paying out over
S140,000,000 a year in pensions.
The organization will include all old
soldiers since 1S61-that is, all who
fought under the flag of the United
States. Indeed, the volunteer soldiers
of the Spanish-American war are ex-
pected to be its most active members.
1t is certain that many who enlisted
for that war-particularly in the East
and West-are showing themselves to
be very earnest pension hunters. In
some of the regiments two-thirds of all
who enlisted have already filed pen
sion applications.
On the pension roll at present there
are about 100000 names. A big per.
centage of the pensioners are voters,
and in a fight for more pension money
their male relatives can be depended
upon to give them pretty hearty
support. Not only their relatives, but
a percentage of every community in
which the pension money is spent Is
expected to help this Soldiers Politi-
cal League in it's raid upon the Treas
ury.
1t can be readily understood from the
foregoing that if success attends the
effort to form the league there will be
new force in the political field, a
force based upon "pap's" pension.

The rumor that the Louisville and
Nashville and the Atlantic Coast Line
are to be merged, and that in the near
future the Southern, Atlantic Coast
Line, Illinois Central, St. Louis and
San Francisco and Evansville and
Terre Haute are to form one system,
continues to be so persistent as to
justify the conclusion that 1t rests
upon substantial foundation. 1t is al
legged that the Southern is not an ac-
tive factor in the conferences which
are being held by the representatives
of the foregoing railways, but is really
the moving force in the whole matter.
The idea seems to be to make Chicago
the headquarters and starting point of
this proposed great system and to have
outlets at the Gulf and South Atlantic
ports.
1t is of course impossible to foresee
what the outcome Of the conferences
between the representatives of these
roads will be, but it is practically GER
tain that nothing definite will be done
until the governments injunction suit
against the Northern Securities Com
pany is decided, because it is probable
that company, similar to that COM
pany. is a part Of the proposed merger
scheme.
And 1t is a safe prediction that the
states in which the various lines of
these roads are located will have
something to say in regard to the pro-
posed merger scheme. A few days ago
we called attention to the action al
ready taken by the business men of
Nashville. They have asked the Cover
nor of Tennessee to find out whether or
not the rumor that there is to be such
a merger is true, and that If it is to
call the Legislature together to take
whatever action may be necessary to
prevent it.
1t is hardly probable that Georgia
would consent to the merger scheme.
The scheme would not be beneficial
| to the coast cities. Much OF their i'm
portance as the headquarters of rail-
road system would be lost. Depart
Tnents and perhaps shops would be re-
moved, and they would be reduced to
shipping points. If the merging scheme
should be adopted there would I'M
doubtedly be strenuous efforts made to
| prevent it from being carried into eff
| feet

A Collar Button story

Justice Shiras has color button
story which he tells with a great deal
of gusto, says the Chicago Record
Herald. A man in Pittsburg, where
he used to live, had wife who was
complaining of dyspepsia and she
heard of certain remedy that was
put up in capsules. Her husband
bought a dozen at a drug store and
brought them home in pill box. At
the same time he bought q dozen col
lar buttons made of metallic COM
position that looked very much like
pearl, and the druggist gave him a
pill box similar to that in which the
capsules were put up to carry them in.
he took both boxes home, handed
them to his wife and the same day
she began to take the medicine. After
she had taken twelve doses she was
entirely cured and advertised the Won
derful remedy all over the neighbour
hood. About this time her husband
lost his collar button, and, opening
his pill box, found it empty. A brief
investigation showed that the capsules
in the other pill box were still there
and that his wife had swallowed
twelve composition collar buttons, two
day, for six days, and had been en-
tirely cured of dyspepsia

THE IOWA REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

There was a noticeable uneasiness
last week among the leaders of the Re-
publican party when the Republican
| State Convention of Iowa was in ses-
sion. They were afraid that there
would be a demand for a radical re-
vision of the tariff. They breathed
easier when practically the same tar
if declarations that were made in 1901
were reaffirmed.
But even these declarations are rath-
er radical and are not wholly satisfac-
tory to many of the Republican lead
ers. One of them favors "any modif1-
cation of the tariff schedules that may
shelter to monopoly" Another APP
proves not only reciprocity with Cuba.
but indorses the policy of reciprocity
in general "as necessary to the real
ization of our highest commercial pos
sibilities."
The Philadelphia Press, one of the
leading Republican papers, says, in its
editorial columns, that 1.-The Iowa plat
form is a model statement of the Re-
publican creed" If the Press is right
in its statement the Republican party
does not live up to it's creed. There
isn't Republican leader who does not
know that the tariff affords shelter to
monopoly. If 1t were not for the pro-
lection the tariff gives them the trusts
would not be able to make such enor-
nous profts-would not be able to
charge robber prices for their products.
1t is a fact, often asserted and not de-
MED, that for many manufactured ar
ticles higher prices-very much higher
prices-are charged in the home mar
ket than in foreign markets. Without
the protection which the tariff gives it
the Billion Dollar Steel Trust could
not get the prices 1t does for it's pro-
ducts-could not compel home consum-
ers to pay for its goods from q. third
to a half more than it gets from for
eigner consumers of them.
Reciprocity may be part of the Re-
publican creed, but was 1t ever a part
of Republican practice? At the last
session of Congress there were half a
dozen reciprocity treaties before the
Senate, and had been pending there
for a long time, but not one of them
did the Senate take up for considera-
ton. 1t was clearly understood that
not one of them would be ratified il
they should be brought up for action.
What nonsense then is it for the Re-
publican party to say that it favors
either the reduction of the tariff where
it shelters monopoly, or that it ap-
proves the policy of reciprocity! Was
not there a strong effort made at the
last session of Congress to pass bill
establishing reciprocal relations with
Cuba? And was not the effort a fail
ure? 1t certainly was. And yet the
Republican papers have the effrontry
to say that the platform of the Re-
pubhcans of Iowa is in strict accord
with Republican creed. They must
think the people cannot read and think.
