There is some talk of asking the
small minority of democratic members
in the house and senate to vote with
the republicans and give Senator AL
lison an unanimous denomination, a
distinction seldom given to senatorial
candidate. There is no question but
many democrats would be pleased to
honor this distinguished Iowan, but can
they do 80 without sacrificing their own
political views? Mr.. Allison repre-
sents principle of protection, which
Iowa democrats will not endorse. He
entertains different views with regard
to the treatment of the Filipinos than
do the democrats; his views on trusts
are antagonized by democrats, there
fore, should democrats vote for him, it
would be in measure relinquishing
their own principles and adopting those
of Senator Allison, which would be q
great political mistake. The people of
Iowa, regardless of politics, honor
Senator Allison as man, but demo-
Gratis cannot assist in his reelection
without stultifying themselves. Clin-

Why We Need No Subsidy.

Those who want the government at
Washington to pay them big bonus
out of the national treasury for build
ing and sailing ships may not be great
full to 1jard Schwartz for his high
compliments to American shipbuildlng.
Herr Schwartz is German naval con-
structor who recently was in the United
States in an official capacity lnvestigat-
ing shipbullding here. He reports that
the materials for the construction of
steel ships are cheaper here than in any
other country-a statement for which
Mr.. Babcock's steel trust friends will
not thank him. He further says that
American workmen are the best In the
world, earning wages 80 to so per cent
higher than workmen in Britain re-
ceive, and 100 per cent higher than they
get on the continent. But he adds that
the wage bills in America are counter
balanced by economical processes of
machinery which are not found in the
European yards. He might have added
that Americans get higher wages be.
cause they are worth more, SO that we
have an advantage apart from machin-
cry. Herr Schwartz further states that
freighters are being built on the great
lakes as cheaply as tramp steamers are
built in Great Britain.
When the American taxpayers read
these statements pehaps they will won
der more than ever why they should be
compelled to contribute toward the
building up of the private fortunes OF
American shipbuilders.-C h hicago

Are Colonies Profitable.

A book has just been issued by the
treasury bureau of statistics in which
an attempt is made to show that colon
les are profitable. This is simply
campaign book issued by the imperial
lists in power at Washington. In this
book they attempt to show that colonial
ism has been profitable to Great Britain
and other countries.
The book gives figures to show that
Great Britain has built $4,000 miles of
railway in India and doubled the mile
age in her other colonies in the last
twenty years. The commerce of India
it appears from this book has been SO
profitable to England that the nations
of the world have been called npon
time and again to feed the starving mil
lions. The expense of the brutal war.
fare in South Africa has been overlook
ed, but that of course is onlya trifle-
say million dollars q day.
All the figures the administration
can present will not convince the
American people that colonalism is
profitable. The lives of our soldier
boys sacrificed in maintaining that sys-
TEN are worth more to the people than
the millions Rockefeller or Morgan
might syndicate. And there is another
phase of the matter. Even if profit
able, government of subject races is not
right. 1t is repugnant to American
principles and the theories of govern
ment. In the words of that great com
moner, William j. Bryan, ''a people
that would deny to another the right OF
self government CANNOT long expect to
enjoy 1t themselves. Boone County

The large ana increasing circulation
of The Iowa Homestead in this county
is matter for congratulation to the
publishers and to good farming, for, of
all the papers of its class in the coun-
try. 1t is easily the best and most help
full. Its Special Farmers Institute
editions, issued with the regular edition
the first week in each month, have been
for years the admiration of all practi-
cal farmers. Written wholly by farm
eIs, they are full of actual experience,
and smell of the soil. We have been
fortunate enough this season to secure
terms for The Homestead and its Spec
ial Farmers Institute Editions,together
with The Poultry Farmer and The
Farmers Mutual Insurance Journal,
four of the most valuable farm publi-
cations in the country, that enable us to
offer the four in connection with our
own paper for S1.90 for the entire five

thing, and no farmer in this county
should fail to take advantage of this
offer. For large line of thoroughly

Money no Measure of the Man.

If there is anything disgusting or in
congruous to be seen in life, it is the
vulgar display of wealth by those whose
personalities lie very close to the brute
who are undeveloped, coarse and re-
pulsive. How often we see refined and
beautiful characters, and charming per-
sonality, shown by servant in the
family of brutal, vulgar millionaire.
There are servants in thousands of
wealthy American homes who are inf
nitely superior, from every possible
standpoint of real value, to those they
serve. Those servants are often COM
PEELED to live in hot and i'll ventilated
kitchens, and to sleep in sitting, unat
traotive rooms. They are the only
