GREAT REPRESENTATIVE GATH
ERING,

The sovereign grand lodge of Odd
Fellows will meet in Des Moines Sep
TENDER 1920 when there will be pres
ent representatives of the order from
nearly very civilized country on the
face of the earth The order of Odd
Fellows is not an ephemeral associa-
ton. 1t has existed in this country for
about eighty years. Prior to that
time Odd Fellowship existed in En-
gland and was in a flourishing condi-
ton as early as 1886 The order mum
bers many thousands in the United
States where it is influential in society
uniformly for good order, benevolence
and charity. It's motto is Friendship,
Love and Truth" and this seems to be
the animating sentiment of the order.
This is the first time that the Sover-
eign Grand Lodge has met on Iowa
soil and it is possible quarter of a
century will roll around before it
again meets in this state. There will
be thousands in attendance as visit
ors and delegates. The city of Des
Moines has made great preparations
for the reception and entertainment
of all who come
The gathering will be notable also
in the personnel of the association
There will be representatives of many
nations of the earth bound together in
the great fraternal principles of the
order which tends to universal broth
erhood. Iowa is honored in being Sc
lected as the meeting place of an in
ternational association that has been
and is now among the great agencies
for promoting peace among the ma
tons of the earth and doing good to
all who come under it's gentle inf1u-
ences.

American patriotism and. loyalty to
fellow citizens has again been display
ed by the appeal Of Gener al Eli Tor
renee, commander in chief etf the G. A
r., who asks the members of the or
ganization to make a contribution tt
assist in the erection of no me for the
ex-confederate soldiers at Mission
Creek, Ala. 1t cannot be doubted
that the members OF the G. "A. R. will
respond v heartily to the request OF
their leader. All bitterness, between
participants in that great con flict have
long since passed away, but it is most
inspiring to see the men WHO at one
time were pitted against each other in
deadly conflict, unite on one common
ground and provide for the care of the
weary and aged veteran, whether it be
the blue or the gray.

THE STRIKE MUST BE SETTLED.

Will the prediction of Senator Thos
G. Platt, of New York, concerning the
settlement OF the anthracite strike
come to be a realization?
Senator Platt has stated positively
that the strike would be settled within
two weeks. He refuses to state how
this will be brought about, but he says
that there will be no coal sold at SIC
per ton this winter.
For the past three months this wal
between the miners and the operators
mas been Waged. Both sides have
taken stand. the miners for an in.
crease in wages and the recognition
OF the union, and the operators per
slstent in their demands that the min.
ers shall return to work after which
a conference between the miners and
their employers will be held to settle
the remainder of the contested ques
tons. In this position both parties
seem to be fixed with never a sign OF
either yielding.
The public has been keut fully In
formed as to the progress of the strike
They have begun to make known their

AN uNcoNouERAlsLE SPIRIT

Unsuccessful in. two previous at

Montague Holbein, the noted English
swimmer, was compelled to give up

twenty-five hours and twsenty-one min

and was taken from the. water in an

Just when success seemed to be almost
within his reach. Surely: the spirit
which causes Holbein to be so perse-.

The people know that in voting for re.
publican candidates they are making
no experiments because the party in
this county has demonstrated that ii
firmly stands on the rock rooted policy
of honest and efficient service and
that its candidates must come up to

LOSING HEART.

The democrats are clearly losing
heart in their tariff reduction issue.
There is distinct disposition on the
part of some of the leaders to drop the
fight in this direction and try a new
tack. Mr.. Griggs. chairman of the
democratic congressional committee,
who was wildly enthusiastic a few
weeks ago over the tariff and the ex-
port price question as an issue in the
campaign, is now maintaining a dis
Greet silence on the subject, according
to a Washington dispatch. There is
reason for the change. When the
cry was first taken up Mr.. Griggs pro-
posed, and the campaign was pretty
generally outlined to urge the ex.
port price question on the farmers of
the west and to seek to convince them
that they were being made the victims
of species of eXtortion by the manu-
facturers and the hated money pow
err of the east. The reports from the
west have been most discouraging to
the democratic plan. There is no ca
lamity in the west this year. The dem
ocratic campaign managers have been
notified that the people of the west are
not worrying about the tariff. The
bumper corn crop of history is ripen-
ing under the August sun; the ranges
are in splendid condition and cattle are
fattening at a most satisfactory rate;
all kinds of farm products are in de-
mand at high prices. and the farmers
refuse to listen to any plan that pro
poses a change of system. They are
quite content to let we'll enough alone
and keep on doing 1t as long as present
prosperous conditions prevail,

gram was to make his campaign among

HAVE REPUDiATED.

Charles A.Walsh tells Wapello coun-
ty democrats that they have repudiated
the national platform of their party
and says they have at the same time
done the poorest sort Of a thing from
a political standpoint. He makes the
allegation that to neglect to endorse
the Kansas City platform is to
repudiate it and if Mr.. Walsh knows
there has been some repudiating
done in this part of the state. The
Wapello contingent was told by local
leaders that free silver is not an is
sue this campaign and this being the
case should not be mentioned in the
interest Of harmony" Then it was
not reputation but now comes MI.
Walsh and says it is. Has a large
part Of the local democracy been hood
winked?

the laboring men in the eastern facto-
ries, calling attention to the high prices
of food products and charging it all to
the tariff. He has met another disap-
pointment from this source. Democrat
ic comitteemen in the eastern cities are
making reports that are sadly disap-
pointing to the democratic manager
and his lieutenants. These reports
show that the workingmen in the mills
and factories throughout the east are
not in favor of tariff reduction at
this time. They recall the low-tariff
days when foodstufs were cheap, but
when they were out of employment.
Now they are employed at better
prices than ever before paid to Ameri-
can workmen, and are in position to
pay better prices for their living than
they have been before They want
no general tinkering with the tariff
that would as they are convinced,
cause reduction in the wages and
output of American factories
These last reports have been most
discouraging to the democrats. They
have no hope OF bringing the curren-
cy question into prominence and have
been forced to abandon their assaults
upon the governments Philippine poll
cy With the prospect of the tariff
question being also eliminated from
the campaign, all OF their campaign
calculations have been deranged Their
only hope now is to adhere to the pol
icy that was recommended in the first
caucus of the House democrats last
December-that of allowing each can
date to select his own issue and sing
high or low on the different questions
to meet local conditions.
The out look in the Sixth district for
something to talk about from demo,
cratic standpoint is most discouraging.

MR. sHAW's METHODS.

Western backbone, blood and brains
have been injected into the affairs of
The treasury department. Western

and most direct way have been intro

This is the situation in nutshell.
A knowledge OF human nature, prac-
tical business methods and a keen
sense of rugged honesty almost in an
instant have solved the problem even

The policy of keeping every dollar
as good as every other dollar coupled
with business methods and the keen
insight Mr. Shaw possesses is com.

GOOD CROPS AND CHRISTIANITY

The Council Bluffs Nonpareil has
evolved a theory from the many good
things that are being experienced in
these days of prosperity whereby it
gives Christianity as the result of
good crops. Its theory is:
Good crops make good railroads.
Good railroads make good business.
Good business make good citizens.
Good citizens make Christians. Let
the good work go on
Whether or not the logic of these
deductions is perfect or not we will
not discuss. There may be some per
sons who will doubt the validity of the
argument that good crops yield Chris.

1t is, however, often noticeable that
the person who is freed from the OBJ
preston of grinding want and poverty
is in a more perfect srate of mind tc
receive the truths of Christianity
This being the case, it is reasonable to
suppose that anything that adds to the
welfare and prosperity will have a
material effect on the morality of the
people.
At least We should be willing to &C.
cept all the good things that the Non.
pareil mentions, good crops and Chris.

LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE!

Suppose that there should be such a
landslide politically as occurred in
1890, when the democrats and popu,
lists elected six out of the eleven
members of congress in Iowa. What
could miners, workingmen of all
kinds, farmers, and business men rea.
sonably expect as results? A change
of conditions would follow, and in.
stead of settled prosperity and remun.
eratiye employment there would ne.
cessari1y be unsettled conditions,
doubts and uncertainties in the indus
trial world and therefore doubts fo1
the laboring man as to his continued
employment.
There are now enough uncertainties
caused by the mere recurrence of the
voting period, and while there are
scarcely reasonable doubts as to the
triumph OF republicanism, yet there
is anxious waiting for the elections tt
be over in order that contemplated
plans and new enterprises may BIZ

LABOR DAY.
(From Mondays Daily;

lFrom Mondays Daily
Today Labor Day has been celebrat-
ed throughout this land. Over 100000
laboring people have joined in the GER

which the laboring man holds. Spe-

of the largest commercial and indus

clearly defining the position which Ia

other.
Over $4,000 local labor unions are
now in existence in the United States.
Though in many ways the mechanism
of the government of the declarations
us still quite imperfect in it's working,
yet the one supreme object of the or
ganized labor movement is the better
ment of the conditions of the laboring
people. Never was there a time when
there has been as great intelligence
concerning labor questions among the
laboring people They are endeavor-
ing to become more familiar with the
conditions which affect the relations
between the employers and the en-
ployed and their efforts are being re-
warded.
Differences naturally arise between
the laboring man and the capitalist.
Such occasions have been quite fire.
quent in the United States. But new
er has there been a time when mem.
bers Of organized labor have been so
willing to listen to fair proposition
in the settlement of these differences.
Labor Day is the occasion Of the
harmonizing of the two great promot.

most potent factors for the advance.
