WHERE IS TIE HAT-STRING7
1t In Noticed That the Straw Hats OF
This summer Are Being Worn
without Them

With an unusually large crop of
straw hats in Chicago this summer, it
has just occurred to some one to ask
why it is that the black hat string,
so popular and universal several years
ago, has been discarded, says the
Tribune
The hat string was at the height of
its popularity in 1898. It was a bit
of black tape fastened to mans hat
behind, with the other end anchored
securely to the lapel of his coat.
Everybody took the precaution
against winds, and it was quite COM
mon to see mans hat blow of,
while he walked on as if oblivious of
the fact, slowly reehng it in behind
him.
"Why are they discarded?" repeat
ed State street halter. II might
ask you another question in answer:
Why do women dispense with the
handy little STAKEHOLDER that they
used to wear? It held up the skirt
in excellent fashion and saved their
appearances the awkward. obtrusive
elbow that now mars their figures.
GAS to the hat string, however, I
have a theory that it was not meant
for sensible men.
ibid you ever notice that most men
who allow their hats to blow off are
stupid? You just watch for a month
and you'll agree with me. I venture
that not one wideawake, quick, intel
ligent fellow in a thousand has his
hat blown off under any circum-
stances.
Mine hats out of ten are blown of
at street corners where a man steps
from the sheltering fronts of row
of buildings into the street at. right
angles, up which wind is driving. A
score of indications of the wind arc
in front of him. Dust is flying; wom-
ems skirts are blown about; awnings
are Hopping; men are\ holding on to
their hats; scraps of paper are fly
ing.
"But the stupid victim of the wind
walks beyond the corner with no pre-
cautions-and away goes his hat.
make a study of the face of the
next man you see whose hat has
sailed away with the wind, and Just
consider if you would care to trust
his judgment on any matter of conse-
quence. I'll bet you wouldn't-not in
a hundred years." a.

WELCOME EVERYWHERE.

Southern hospitality is welcoming
President Roosevelt wherever he APP
pears in that section of the country.
Last week the New Englanders were
giving him the best they had in the
way of greeting. Later this month the
middle west will open its doors to the
distinguished guest. There is no north
or south, east or west in the desire to
do honor to the nations executive. Ev-
cry state and territory. every county
and town feels the same way. They all
seek the president because he is the
representative of all. There are no
parties when it comes to honoring the
official head of the country.
Because of this feeling the president
very properly announces that he does
as in any sense partisan. This would
be narrow view to take and it will be
observed that democrats are not taking
it. They join hands with republicans.
whether in the majority or minority, in
making the president feel that all To-
calities are the same. His political
policies have nothing whatever to do
with his visits to all parts OF the coun-
try. And no president ought to take
advantage of the prestige his high po-
sition gives him to advance his own
ends from the party point of view.
The personal and social relations the
president bears to the people are en-
tirely distinct from those he bears to
the party of which he is member. The
Democrat is glad to give the president
credit for desire to keep this dislinc-
ton clearly defined.

systems says that after careful sur
yey of the field he is satisfied that the
roads as whole have not sufficient
equipment to take care OF the business
that is now in sight and which may
reasonably be expected during the COM
ing winter. 1t is pointed out that the
tonnage of the freight business of the
country has increased enormously in
the last year or two.
That the railroad managers are alive
to the necessity for providing more en-
gines is evidenced by the large number
of orders for new locomotives that are
placed daily. One compilation of such
orders given in the week shows that
they amounted to nearly 600. Out of
this total of new locomotives contracted
for over 400 were freight engines.
All sections of the country are repre-
sented by the lines placing these orr
ders. The Rock Island heads the list
with the largest number. Those who
have kept track of locomotive building
for the last year have noted the same
condition for several months. The.
heavy orders have swamped the build
ers. and it is next to Impossible. it is
said to get an engine delivered in any
thing like quick time. The builders
have not kept up with the demands of
their trade, and the roads which are in
urgent need of engines are likely to
suffer for the want of them when the
freight needs moving.
This is another OF the problems

THE CAMPAIGN IN IOWA.

The political campaign in Iowa this
Ing only in spots. rs state issues and the
state ticket do not excite great division,
this being an off year, the aim of the
democrats Will be to carry congress
sional district or two. They will base
their hopes largely upon the fact that
the two wings of democracy have come
together on platform on which the
goldites can stand and the other branch
can tolerate; yet this is small vantage
ground to build hope upon. They also
assume that the contention among re-
publicans over their platform will
weaken the party when voting time
comes but this is an expectation that
will not be realized.
Prosperity and it's continuance under
republican national control will be the
real issue when voting time comes. The
chief contest will be on the congress
sional tickets. The people can not af-
ford to transfer power to party that
threatens to reverse policies that, are
now working SO successfully in the ma
ton. On every occasion Its leaders
have shown a disposition to overturn
these policies and to set in force others
that have been tried and found want
ing.
Prosperity is the issue that must be
kept in mind. Prosperity is the watch
word that must guide the voter. Prog

pie, in guarding their rights and in
checking wrongs, can only be hoped for

greenback and fiatist party, which he
organized in 1876, and which later
elected him to congress, altogether
three terms. 1t was so strong as to poll
10000 votes in Iowa when Gen. Weaver
was the greenback candidate for presi-
dent, and in 1878 to carry three con-
gressonal districts, which had previ-
ously been strongly republican.
With the subsistence of the fiatist and
greenback craze Gen. Weaver began
patching up temporary fusion arrange
ments With the democrats. in the in
tervals of his engagements on the lee
ture platform. The democratic revo-
luton at Chicago in 1896 was verita-
bic Godsend to him. He at once APP
.peared among the Iowa Bryanile lead
ers He turned over to them the conf
plete populist organization and led the
great mass of the party directly into
camp. In some populist quarters there
was reluctance and protest, but Gen.
Weaver Was all powerful. He went
IRON county to county, proclaiming
that the democratic party under Bry-
anism had in fact Joined the populists,
and should be welcomed by the latter,
altho he admitted that he preferred a
paper dollar with 100 cents of fiat to a
silver dollar with only so cents of fiat.
He succeeded so far that for eight years
the populist party has almost disap-
peared in Iowa, its membership having
gone bodily into the populized democ-
racy.
Gen. Weaver was conspicuous
member of the late democratic state
convention, as he has been of all demo-
cratic state conventions since 1896. He
was vehement and even frantic in his
appeals not to turn down the Kansas
City platform. free silverism and pop
ulism. He threatened the instant Sc
cession of populists and reorganization
of their party. A strong array of other
spokesman backed him up. The conven-
ton nevertheless turned down the Kan
sas City platform and now there is
demand in populist quarters to turn
down the convention. Gen. Weaver de-
clares that he stands where he stood
before, while the populist press is call

GREAT PUBLIC BeNEFAc1IoN.

In recent years there have been many
i cases of individual wealth and public
spirit going hand in hand to benefit n
home community. and as such they all
ways command the respect and APP
prevail of the people. Ore Of the latest
instances of a citizen assuming the role
OF public benefactor is that of Jacob
| NJ. Funk, of Webster Ciey, who recently
decided to furnish his city with mod
| ern, up-to- date hospital of sufficient
size for the city at a cost of 100000. A
contract has been let for the building
and construction will begin at once. In
no field of special enGoavor could he
have found a more urgent need than in
the one he has undertaken to supply.
will give his home people an opportu-
nifty to accomplish at home what they
are now compelled to seek abroad.
In establishing this hcsIital Mr.. Funk
can see while yet alive the great good
that can come from hts money. Too
often fortunes are left to do beneficent
work after the donors have passed
away. 1t is an enterprise, moreover,
intended to benefit his bone town and
relieve suffering among his fellow citi-
zens.
Many large towns ard number of
cities In Iowa are in need of such a
hospital. In all of them are men of
wealth who could supply this want and
others If they could be inspired by the
same public spirit. otherwise their
fortunes will go into less worthy chan
r.els and into less appreciative hands.
They could study the example of Mr..
Funk and other liberal Iowans with

The REAL MEANING OF II.

The German army is now engaged in
{. vast war play, just as our army and
ravy We're short time ago. The Ger
man army engaged in this imitation Of
active service numbers $4,000 men.
The purpose of both nations is much
object of the maneuvers was not the,
gaining Of victory by either army or
navy. as many seemed to think, but
rather to test to the limit all the APP
purtenances of war; both on land and
sea. and to train and discipline the men
for the active service that may come
at any time-and especially to test the
strength Of coast defenses against any
possible enemy. Any result that might
accrue now, however, from this mimic
warfare, in the matter of achieving
victory or suffering defeat, would hard
ly happen In real strife, but that is not
material or at least not of greatest con-
sequence.
It is known that Secretary Of War
Root has some very practical ideas
about increasing the efficiency of the
army and in keeping lis officers and
men in touch with actual methods of
warfare. He does not care to see them
aroused from lethargy and inetf1ciency
to meet a foe that may spring up in our
pathway at any time. AS a nation we
prefer to cultivate the arts of peace.
hut there is an intense desire also upon
the part of patriotic and public spirited
people to meet any emergency that may
arise with up-to-date methods and az
efficient army and navy. Hence the
war play on a home field.
