The Trocadero is filling ong-feIt want in this

The tourists are pleased with the enterprise, be

wanders down that way.
The Trocadero made the hit of the season last
Saturday night when the masque ball took place.
There were fully couples the floor at most
all times and there plenty of fun in store. The
women had lots of amusement out of the men, be-
cause you know woman has a keen eye and can

the latter to discover their identity

Swimming Matches.

There was big time on Tuesday night among
the Elks. After the regular meeting had been CON
cluded large number went down the natatorium
and took plunge. During the course of the even
ing the question arose to who was the fastest
swimmer and it ended by J. J. May and Charles
Brandstetter being mached for purse of $50 It
was decided that they should swim the length of
the pool and the one ahead was to be declared the
winner. An even start made and Mr. Nav
won by very narrow margin. By this time the
excitement was intense and another race made
between Fred H. Regal, machinery from
St. Louis and County Surveyor Bert Ventress. Mr..
Ventress won by two lengths. The swan one

A TIME FOR CHARITY.

You'd the needs of the sufferers and the
duty of this country. The situation is
one of unparalleled need These people
are face to face with starvation and
with no place to go. 1t is not ques-

practically destroyed and must be re-
built. Until this may be done the pop

The United States stands in the posi-

island. We are the nearest of the great
nations. More than that, we represent
a government founded on principles
which should urge us to acts of mercy

of nationality but of needs. No ques-

FAREWELL TO WHlTELAw REID.
EnsIishmen and Americans Join il
BANQUET to SpeciaI Ambassador.

New York, May 15.-The Hon
Whitelaw Reid was the guest of honor
at farewell banquet given at the
Union League Club last night in anti
cipation of his approaching departure
for London as special ambassador OF
the United States at the coronation OF
King Edward VII.
The banquet was attended by about
100 gentlemen, including many promi-
nent figures in politics, finance and
journalism from all sections of the
country.
Among the invited guests were Sir
Henry Sanderson, the British consul
general, and Hon. Cornelius N. Bliss
who sat respectively, at the right and
left of Mr.. Reid; Senator Chauncey NJ
Depew, Hon. Henry c. Payne, Hon
John w. Griggs, President Nicholas

Hon. Charles Emory Smith, Melville e.

Many prominent members of the
club. including Gen. Francis Vinton
Greene and Gen. Wagner Swayne, were
present.
Cornelius N. Bliss, chairman, read a
letter of regret from Levi p. Morton,
in which Mr.. Morton said he had ex-
pected to attend the dinner, but was
prevented by temporary indisposition.
Mr.. Bliss then read letter from tho
secretary of the late Archbishop Corri-
gan expressing the archbishop's APP
probation of Ambassador Reids pub
lie services and regretting that his
present indisposition would prevent his
attendance at the dinner. Mr.. Bliss
said that this was probably one of the
last letters the lamented archbishop
had dictated, as it had been dictated
within a few hours of his death.
Mr.. Bliss then offered the toast, "The

In the course of his remarks Mr.. Bliss
said that nobody need fear that the
republican principles of Mr.. Reid or
Ambassador Choate will be weakened
by participation in the coronation GER
emory.
At the close of the address Mr.. Bliss
offered a toast to Mr.. Reid and there
was great applause. When Mr.. Reid

her and she knows not the address Of

The attitude in which many of Mont
Pelee's victims We're found suggests the
possibility that they were stified by
poisonous gases. The suggestion is
credible, for it is known that carbonic
acid gas is among the products of VOL
canc action. AT the time of Pompeii's
destruction the elder Pliny, tho miles
away, was killed by that agency. Since
death from this cause is more painless
than from fire. one may be excused for
hoping that it led to the greater NOR
tally in st. Pierre.

investigation, for their action will be
used as political weapon against the
man whom, in the main, all Labor or

merely carrying out the spirit of con-
gressional enactment as evidenced by
congress when, fearing the danger of
an ffice-holding oligarchy, the law of
1874 was enacted depriving all resi-
dents of the District of Columbia of the
right of franchise. 1t was then sought
to do away with all danger of a horde

vertIng government to selfish ends by

verting government to selfish ends by
zen of the United States of today this
fear may seem a senseless one, yet to
students of popular government rs ii
has been tried during the ages, some
restraint upon the perfectly natural
self interest of the men in public office
is the part of wise craftsmanship. Like
wise with the thousands of government
employees, in Washington and out, who
organize to intimidate congressman and
beset the halls of legislation see4a,
| laws granting to themselves higher
pay, the act is inimical to the public
veal, it is injurious to the public serv-
| ice and most undignified in the public
servant President Roosevelt by his
order had no intention of discouraging
good pay for public service. He was
doing only what a man in his position
shold do to maintain good discipline
among public employees and stop u
most unseemly scramble for increased
salary bills.
The idea of the public service, as
suggested IN the Cedar Rapids resolu-
tons, that government jobs are jcns
cut of which men are entitled to get ali
they can is a wrong one. In commercial
life a man should have the right. and
l,,r- l,J e., t1,a
most he can get for it, but government
salaries should be established for the
good of the service and by disinterested
parties, without pressure from the men
or class who are to receive public pay.
This principle of wise government Guns
thru all of our laws. Congress can not
raise the salaries of its present men,
bers; it must legislate for succeeding
congress-; state legislatures are ike
wise restrained, nor can they raiSe' the
salary of the present presidents or gov
ernor; city councils are prohibited BY
state statute from raising the ply OF
the mayor or councilmen then in office
The rule obtains turnout the entire
governmental system and nothing could
be in more direct violation of its lnrin
ciples than for government employees,
es specially in the classified service,
where tenure is presumably for life, tc
be exerting themselves in an effort to
influence legislation that will raise
their own pay. Organized labor should
not confuse the right of men in SOM
mercial life to work for the highest
price for whatever they have to sell,
products or labor, with the position of
a public servant 1t is often true that
better pay improves the public service,
but the disinterested party represent
ing only the public welfare should be

holder who is to receive the en-
olument. Federated labor has done a |
grave injustice to President Roosevelt,
the best friend it has in public power
today.

THE FISHING SEASON,

| Yesterday unlocked the gates of
pleasure to thousands of Iowa people,
IL being the opening day of the season
wherein 1t is lawful to capture game
fish. Hundreds of enthusiastic fisher
| men arose at an unusual hour, snatched
a hasty snack from kitchen cupboards
or tables and stumbled thru the dusky
morning shadows to reach the rivers or
lakes at daybreak. Perhaps the early
fisherman came home with an empty
creel and his enthusiasm somewhat
dampened. Very likely he was hungry
and of certainty he was weary. but
he was not unhappy. 1t is not all of
| fishing to fish.
| At any rate he had cause for con-
nature. He had reverted for an inter-
val to the primitive, and the lingering
instincts of the primal man Were, glad
within him. AS he stood by the river
or sat in his boat upon the rolling lake
the sunlight on the water and the winds
among the tree tops whispered of
health and freedom and the wide lib
esty of out doors. They stirred rudi-
mentary memories that awoke ami
laughed within his heart and he was
happy without asking why. Like
weary child the fisherman snuggled up
against the maternalheart of natl as
the child against his mothers liosom,
content and satisfied with the mere
contact He wanted to catch fish The
simple savagery of that primal instinct
to which the wilderness appeals urged
him to this endeavor, but the lack of
the savage's concrete necessity recon
ciled him to defeat. Whether he caught
fish or not he came home happier more
contented and better than he had been
the day before.
1t is good to go fishing. More people
should go. A day along the streams
with the introspection that comes with
silence and solitude is a medicine to the
soul. The companionship of birds, the
oroning bees in the Eastwood blooms,
the clouds, the grass, the sunlight and
the trees, all the charm and mystery of
the woods and waters are antidotes for
sorrow and WEAKNESS of heart and
body. Go fishing.
