instructions before the first pull came
At 500 o'clock the Portuguese start
ed to pull against the men OF the Pa
cific Hardware Company. The Hard
wares had the advantage from the
start, pulling the marker two inches
over the line at the start, From two
ir ches the Hardwares won three inches,
then another inch. Here It stayed for
four or five minutes, the hackers OF
the Hardwares yelling themselves
hoarse. But the Portuguese were do.
ing nobly. They we're fighting like
mad to regain the few inches of rope.
One man was holding on to cleat with
his teeth, the muscles of his neck
straining and standing out like whip
cord. But the Hardwares seemed to
have a hold that could not be over
come.
Hardwares Gain the Rope.
Pretty soon the Hardwares had the
marker a foot over the line. Then they
slowly gained another foot. Captain
Kekaulike called to his men and the
Hardware boys responded with an inch
more. Captain Machado yelled at his
men and the Portuguese strained and
jerked the inch away from the Hard
wares
Here the din became most uproari-
| Gus. Not for moment did the strain
| Of excitement relax while the pull was
On. Each member OF the audience felt
that he was pulling with one or the
other side.
Then the Hawaiian boys of the Hard
ware Company managed to get as much
as three feet of rope. Then there was
terrific tussle.
The Portuguese made strong stand
and regained three inches. The Hard
wares had them pulled out, however,
and in a few minutes had as much az
-FOUR feet of rope. It did not take long
! for the other foot to be gained and
amid tremendous cheers and the strains
of the band the three judges declared
the, Hardware boys the yictors. II had
taken them twenty-four minutes to
pull 1--WE feet of rope from the Portu
guese.

Of the first contest the one between the
Kani he Aus and the Longshoremen
was announced.
! The Longshoremen started out as II
they were going to pull their opponents
over on their side of the house. For
probably four minutes they held foot
OF the enemy's rope, then the Kani
Ike Aus turned things their way and
soon had the victory.
There was a hot tussle when the
marker was worked back To the line
by the Karis. This lasted two or three
! minutes. Excitement, as may be ina
ginnd. was most intense when the
marker was seen to be lowering over
the line. When the Kanis once had
the marker on their side of the line,
however. they kept ii there and pulled
the required Ave feet from the Long
shuremen in fifteen minutes.
The evenings contests were voted
successes BY all who saw them. II Is
probable that a still greater crowd viii!

WHkRn hARM EXISTS.

New Sharon Star Just south of the
Star Office and at the rear of the bar
ber shops the vacant ground is used
most of the time every nice day by
various persons who enjoy pitching
horse shoes. Some people think 1t a
foolish game, others really brand 1t as
wicked, and still others find 1t good
exercise for thtir muscles, while some
are too lazy to more than watch the
game The difference in human char
acter is as forcibly illustrated here as
elsewhere. Sometimes We notice from
our Office windows that only boys en-
gage in the sport. Again young men
monopolize the shoes, and still other
times merhants, doctors, etc., take a
hand in the game. Some men and
some boys seem to thing vulgarity and
profanity belong to the game and pro-
ceed to load the air accordingly.
Others engage in the sport without
even using any Objectionable words
and one can't help noticing the differ
ence in the manners, tastes and con-
duct of the various players and it is
easy to conclude that while the play
ing of some is very Objectionable,
others engage in it without harming
themselves or anybody else. We note,
also, that those who use bad language
while playing do so because they are
in the habit of so indulging at other
times and other places, and those who
do not so polute the atmosphere while
playing are free of such bad habits
at all times and on all occasions. So
it is easy to see that the foulness the
eviliis not in the game, not a part of
it, but in the individual. People fall
into bad habits easily, and fail to ap-
preciate the fact that their very pres
ence and language make whatever
entertainment they attend highly OBJ
jectionable. Without them a game of
horse-shoes, croquet or even billiards
might be enjoyed by most anybody,
but with them in it the very air would
be so bad that no game at all would
be vastly preferable. So We conclude
that the trouble is in the individual
not in the game, provided the game
is in itself innocent-not debasing, but
refreshing, and elevating. Generally
speaking, there is no harm in reading
the Bible 1t is the best book ever
written. 1t is for the guidance AM
elevation of the human race, but We
know a man who never reads it bu
to carp, criticise and condemn. HI
is not searching for the good there II
in it, but trying to make evil, false
hood and superstitution of it. 1t woulC
be better for that man and others i
he would never open that good bool
again until he first revolutionized ant
reformed himself. He can't hurt tn,
Bible, but hurts himself and offend
others. You may pluck rose tina
you may add sweetness and beauty t
your home, but don't pluck it simpl,
to destroy it. If you can't enjoy il
leave it for others who can. We hop
you see the point.

Yet the American people have re
peatedly answered his question Yes
says the Inter Ocean. They SO an
swered it with Louisiana, with the
Mexicans of California, and with every
Indian tribe that stood in their way.
They so answered it when many mil
lions of their fellow citizens sought to
contract the republics boundaries and
destroy the Union. They then fought
the greatest war in history that they
might answer it with triumphant
"Yesl"
And with all these answers which
Mr.. Hoar declares would destroy the
republic IL repeated with the Filipinos,
American institutions not only sur
vived but grew and expaned in con-
tinuous splendor to bless mankind
Mr.. Hoar's argument now is essen
TALLY Clement L. valIandigham's in
1863. The American people answered
vallandigham at Appomattox. Mr..
Hoar's argument now is essentially
William J. Bryan's in the campaign
of 1900. The American people answer
ed Bryan at the polls. That answer in
effect was:
Yes! We are in the Philippines be-
cause they are ours. We will stay in
them because they are ours. We do
know better than the Filipinos what is
good and best for them. Yes!"
Such was the faith of our fathers
that their deeds were right because
their desires were right. In the faith
of their fathers, despite slanderous
partisan, vituperation and sentimental
wailings, because they know it is the
everlasting truth, will the American
people abide.

THE IOWA CENTRAL.

THE greatest trunk road now in
Iowa is President Hawley's Iowa Cen.
trail said Chauncey Depew. "It runs
from st. Paul right down through the
heart of Minnesota and Iowa to Peor.
la, where 1T connects with the Chicago
and Alton, Rock Island and Santa Fe
for Chicago and with our Lake Erie
and Western, our Bright AMI the Penn
system for New York. 1t drains wheat
out of Minnesota and corn out of
Iowa.
'The Iowa Central" continued Mr..
Depew, is admirably managed by l..
F. Day, who is vice president of the
Minneapolis and st. Louis. In fact
Edwin Hawley is president of both the
Minneapolis and st. Louis and the
Iowa Central, making trunk road
from Minneapolis to Peoria and over
the Wabash to st. Louis and Kansas
City,
Mr.. Depew might have spoken of the
Iowa Central's inexhaustible coal fields
about Oskaloosa and Abba, where they
have eight four foot veins of coal, and
enough to supply Missouri, Iowa and
Minnesota for century.
Wall street has an eye on this great
road, which has its head in st. Paul,
it's right hand on Omaha, left on
Peoria, and feet on st. Louis and Kan

full of wheat, corn, coal and hogs and

Brooklyn Chronicle: The judicial
convention for the sixth judicial dis
trict in which this county is situated
will be held at Grinnell on Wednesday
June 4th. There are five counties in
the district and each county has a
candidate. Judge Clements, present
incumbent, is the candidate of Jasper
county, and Judge Scott, present in
cumbent, is the candidate of Powe-
shiek county. The candidate of Ma
haska is B. w. Preston; of Keokuk,
d. T. Stoekman; and of Washington,
S. w. Brookhart. Judge Dewey, of
Washington county. will retire from
the bench. He has held his Office for
I twelve years, There are three judges
to be elected and any combination OF
three counties can nominate. 1t seems
however, to be taken for granted thai
the two judges who are candidates fol
reelection will be retained. There II
no question of their ability and fitness
and 1t would be most unfortunate e

The Delta Enterprise was COM
pelled 10 issue supplement last week
in order to publish the Memorial Day
program. The editor called on the
fellow who had the program in charge
every day during the week but did
not get his copy until after his paper
had gone to press. This is COM
mon failing among people who are
not accustomed to prepare matter
for the papers. They seem to think
that everything can be brought in at
the last minute, strung on the copy
hook, and the press will do the rest.
There is limit to all things, and the
straw that breaks the printers back
is late copy.

ROUSY,ABOUT.

Roustabout had all the ehivalry
knocked out of him the other night,
and he is sorry that his gallantry re-
ceived such jolt. 1t was one of those
nights that a combination of May or
June and Iowa alone know how to
formulate. The town clock had long
since proclaimed the hour that marks
the dividing line between yesterday
and today, and the city was wrapped
in silence that is awe inspiring, yet
reassuring of peace and contentment.
The soft, bright rays of moon light
sitting down through the budding
trees and kissing the flowers and the
grass, vanquished the god of fatigue
and scattered rest to the four winds.
Measuring swords with Morpheus
Roustabout started out for stroll in
the enchanting surroundings. In his
meanderings he reached the site of
the wattring trough near the old mill
on High avenue west. AS he approach
ed he saw two figures leaning against
the hitch rail. and heard voices that
were not telling tales of love or senti-
ment In fact liar" 'hypocrite," and
other words that would make the type
sick, came thick and fast, and with
increasing emphasis. AS Roustabout
passed he noted that it was young
man and young woman, and that the
young man while he was not doing all
the talking had mortgage on the
emphasis. Sounds that betrayed a
scuffie aroused Roustabout's curiosity
and he turned about just in time to
see the young man strike the woman
fair in the face with a blow that sent
an echo from the mill across the
street to the Last Chance" saloon and
then back again to the mill. Pierced
with the sting of injured womanhood
Roustabout made a dive for the scene
of hostilities with the exclamation
Hold on there you rascal, what dt
-" But before he could finish thu
sentence the woman stepped in from
of him, and In tone that brooked NJ
interference she commanded, 60 OF

in attempting to criticise, a meat
market man paid THE HERALD
royal compliment the other evening.
Some time ago when the local
butchers got together and decided to
close their shops on Sunday, they
set the date for the change three
weeks from the meeting. THE HER
AID heard OF the action and by mis-
take fixed the date for the next Sun
day. I'm place of taking in from SIS
to $40 on Sunday morning as we
usually did" said the butcher, sour
sales dropped to about 50 the first
Sunday after the local appeared in
the paper" AS the average sale to
one person is about 25 cents and as
there are 10 shops in town, this proves
that at least 72O out of the 800 Sun
day morning customers read The
HERALD. Does an advertiser, and
that should include the meat market
man, need any better evidence ofthe
fact that The HERALD Is read by
everybody.

says: "Mr. Riley has done much

be no other excuse or explanation
for the Hoosier poets latest effort
than laudable desire to prove to the
world that Englaud's poet laureate

LIQUOR LEGISLATION.

"a number of the papers of the
state have gone wild over the recent
decision of the Iowa supreme court
that the prohibtory law cannot pre-
vent interstate commerce law in the
sale of liquors." says the Des Moines
Register. ''The decision does not
make any change in what has been
general practice in the state for
several years. A man can now legally
buy liquors in other states and have
them delivered in Iowa, but he can
not sell or give away the liquors in
Iowa. The "bootleggers" may be
able to purchase supplies with little
less trouble but they will be watched
more closely and there will be less
difficulty about proving their posses
sion of liquors now that the express
and railroad companies will not
make themselves liable to prosecu-
ton by carrying and delivering Ii
quors. 1t is also true that the people
who purchase their liquors in other
states are not likely to drink liquors
to excess. The opponents of pro-
hibition and the Prohibitionists az
pear to be greatly pleased over the
decision, but we think that the de-
cisjon will make very little difference
in the sale of liquors in Iowa. 1t is
possible that many more may pur.
chase for their own use, now that
they will escape the notoriety oftrial
but as before stated, they will not be
apt to abuse their privilege, and al
other people are protected by the
fact that the purchasers cannot sell
or give away the liquors purchased
in other states without becoming
liable to prosecution under the pro
bibitory and mulct statutes, there
fore the liquorites and Prohibition
lists are rejoicing over a decision tina
does not materially change the situa
tion as to the sale of liquors.

Wesley and Ashbury. His labors
extended to various parts of the
United States, Canada, South Ameri-

work was as missionary bishop of
Africa. at the time of his election
he was only what is known as local
preacher, the only one ever made q
bishop. He will be remembered

-Ottumwa Courier: Mr.. Lacey in
formulating and advocating with his
accustomed energy and earnestness
the arid lano bill, has again given
evidence of his sympathy for the man
who is struggling to secure home
and farm. 1t is essentially bill

MAJOR LACE Y,

In answer to a contemporary
query as to what Hon. John F. Lacey,
congressman from this district, has
done for his constituents, the Bloom
field Republican says:
about the first thing he did in con-
nection with his present position was
to redeem the sixth district from the
hands of the Weaverites and for ten
years has held it safely in the repub-
lican column. Then he helped to pass
the Mckinley bill which brought the
country to the highest plain of pros
perity ever known prior to the cleo
tion of President Mckinley.
I'm 1896 and ever since he has stood
like a stone wall against Organism and
the pernicious doctrines of the demo-
cratic party.
"He helped to pass the present fl
naDcial and tariff laws which brought
the country out of the panic caused
by unwise democratic laws and poll
cies and placed it upon a firm and
prosperous footing which in short has
added from $40 to $40 per acre to the
value of every acre of land in the Mis-
sissippi valley, Davis county included.
"He has helped many soldier and
soldiers widow to secure a pension
and has been a tried and true friend
to the boys in blue.
''He helped to establish the present
rural mail delivery system which car
ries daily mail to thousands of farm
ers every day and will eventually car
ry 1T to practically every home in the
land, thing which the democratic ad-
ministration attempted to discourage
and defeat.
There is no more industrious men,
Der in either branch of congress than
Major Lacey and but few men in
either branch who by their colleagues
are regarded as the equal of our repre-
sentative"
