HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS.

Abba Republican: In view of the
increased cost of production of news
papers within the past few years, all
the metropolitan papers and some of
the papers in smaller towns have in
creased their subscription and adver-
tising rates. Recently the Globe
Democrat increased the price of its
weekly 10 cents, the Inter Ocean and
Register did the same. In one coun-
ty seat town the price of every weekly
was raised to $500 per year. These
advances were necessary. No coun-
try weekly should be published for
less than $3.50 per year and $500 is
the right price. If conditions con-
tinue it will be necessary for the pa
pers of Monroe county to raise the
price of subscription.

The Britt Tribune asserts that
Iowa has the best liquor law in the
United States, for the reason that it
brings the matter in the hands of each
community to control the traffic if it
so wills. "All it has to do" the Tri-
bune points out, sis to produce the
proof and the law will do he rest.
That the proof is difficult to obtain is
no fault of the law-that is the fault
of public opinion and of public
morals"

1875. In the Third the republican
was 642 behind. In the second 592

Slot Machine That Writes Out Your
Name on Metal.

Something new in the way of slot
machines was placed in the Iowa Gen.
trail waiting rooms this morning. 1t
is called the "Roovars" Name Plate
Machine and is attracting consider
able attention. BY putting nickel in
the slot and then turning around the
plate at the top which has the alpha
bet around the edge and pressing a
lever for each letter person obtains
their name neatly embossed on thin
strip of aluminium. AS the strip
comes from the machine it has two
holes punched at each end and can
easily be placed upon the hat or over

nearly thousand dollars to the prem

most magnificent one ever seen in
Iowa. Over $4,000 has been added to

Nature.
By Grace schaefer of the Eighth Grad


Little fleeing white clouds and blue
sky; the sun not far in the heavens,
shines down upon babbling brooklet
and green meadow. Weeping willows
hang over the stream but fail to dark
en- it with their shadow as the silver
stream leaps merrily over the stones.
A boy draws near and smiles as he
sees the brooklet, and going to the
edge of it. sits down upon rock,
shaded by a large beautiful tree and
listens to the music of the stream be-
meath him and the birds above his
head. Sweeter than any music is their
song, as hour by hour he sits there,
until raising his head, he finds that
the sun has reached the horizon, and
reluctantly he turns his steps home
ward, but not until he gathered bunch
Of pussy willows.
But here comes another figure. 1t is
another boy but there is no smile or
gladness on his face, instead he scowls
as he hears the birds in the trees, and
picks up stone not because he thinks
it pretty, but to throw at them.
Such it is everywhere. But the one
that loves not nature misses more en-
joyment than can be gotten elsewhere.
No one can love nature enough. They
can never appreciate those stately
trees, the grand hills and beautiful
flowers.
Nearly every child loves nature. They
gather flowers and berries and bring
them with joy to their teacher.
| But as they grow older, they have
other interests, and unles they have
I,acuuired a very great love for nature
they cease to care for her.
Nature has a very great effect on
character building. People coming
from the country are purer, less easily
led into temptation than others. For
living with and loving nature so much
has produced the same effect on their
character as living near and studying
the great stone face had on Ernest,
in Hawthorne's story of "The Great
Stone Face"

THE PRESIDENTS OBJECTION.

The statement that President Roose-
welt objects to the provision of the bill
creating a permanent census bureau
which makes all the present employees
of the bureau eligible to appointment in
the general service, is not surprising.
Like all other friends of the merit sys-
tenn, the president regards this provision
as being unjust to those who have
passed a civil service examination and
are waiting an opportunity to enter the
public service. These people, all over
the country, have upon invitation Of the
government taken the prescribed exam
i~nation, with the assurance of the gov
eminent that they would receive appoint
ment as vacancies occurred. The en-
ployes of the census bureau, ON the
other hand, were not required to take
this examination. They were appointed
on the recommendation Of congressman
and while it is undoubtedly true that
they are capable, this fact does not jus.
tify giving them precedence Of those
who have passed the civil service exam
ination. The good faith of the govern.
ment is involved in this matter and If
there is a possible way of correcting the
injustice on the part OF congress II
should be employed.
Whether OIL not the president can dc
this is predetermined. 1t is said that he
will regulate by executive order the ap-
pointments under the bill, but it is
doubtful If he can entirely avoid the
injustice to which he most properly OBJ.
jects. If there is a way, however, to
remedy the wrong President Roosevelt
can be depended upon to apply it, though
he should thereby antagonize the spolis
men responsible for the injustice.

"He comesr' HE comes!" the people
shout,
And autocrats In blue
Wave back the crowds where men press
out
And boys go squirming through:
They cry, He comes!" and distant drums
Give time for marching feet
Behold the guards who lead the way
Come proudly down the street
Men stand upon their toes to see,
And wave their hats in air
But what Is all this fuss to me,
And who Is passing there? .
Erect and proud he views the crowd,
/ cannot cheer him, though,
AS / could cheer the splendid, big
Drum major, long ago,
Here passes one whose fame has spread
Wherever men abide;
There's grandeur in his poise OF head,
And in his breast Is PRIDE;
But when, at last, the guards have passed

Forgetting that my gaze has been
Upon the great today. .Hf-

Oh that / still might have the thrill

oMARI,S MrnIoIPIL prRr

The city comptroller has come to the
front to justify the misleading state
ments of Omaha's indebtedness, which
nave been circulated put of his Office to
the detriment of the city. While the
amount of the municipal debt is not at
present a live issue, the damage inflicted
by the circulation of exaggerated state
ments makes it Of constant concern to
our citizens. The fictitious and mislead-
ing figures to which The Bee has'severaI
times adverted are a. the grand total
Of $6,6S1 1862, found on a card purport-
ing to be an abstract Of all bonds and
coupons outstanding December 81, 1900,
and C) the total of $6,514,969, used for
comparative purposes In one Of the gov
eminent publications.
As to the first, the comptroller seeks
to explain that while 1t is not a correct
statement of the municipal debt, yet ii
ought not to be misleading. The fact,
however, that this statement has misled
nearly every one who has seen 1t is the
best argument that it ought never to
have been issued In such form. To give
the impression hat coupons for interest
not yet accrued are to be counted as
part of the city's present obligation is
utterly i~nexcusable. especially when il
adds more than 81 100000 of fictitious
debt to the actual outstanding bonded
indebtedness.

equally unfair to Omaha, although it in
cludes the school district as well as the
city. TO one not familiar with the fact,
it would indicate that Omaha had fal
exceeded the statutory limits on It's lega
Indebtedness.
In the first place. the special assess
ment bonds, aggregating $1.33S, 100. ar,
not debts of the city, but of the particu
lar Improvement districts against whicl
they have been issued. These bonds
moreover. are merely accommodation
for the owners OF the property benefited
who. instead OF being required to pa.
for the pavement or sewer, as the cas-
may be. in a lump sum, are by this de
vice permitted to make their payment
in annual installments extending over
ten-year period. The same applies t
the warrants against unpaid special as
sessments.
The floating debt given at $014,6O0. 1

figures could only have been reached b
