that If their. wrong doing had been duly re-

What stronger proof of fair-mindedness In
the settlement of the religious question Of the

To the Republicans of Wisconsin-The per-
sistent Misrepresentation Of the republican
state convention ON account of its adoption Of
the resolution relating to Senator Spooner
merits attention. The resolution was consid-
cred for several hours by a committee of able.
conscientious gentlemen. 1t was passed not
in obedience to passionate appeals or upon
personal considerations. 1t was passed. be-
cause in the considerate judgment of the great
body Of republicans assembled, in view Of all
that transpired in the state convention of
1900, the record of the last legislature. and
the events of the campaign just closed, the
honor and good faith Of the party for the
future required the adoption Of Just such a
resolution. ., .,.a = -s.sEs-
The essential duty Of a state convention Is
to nominate state ticket and adopt state
platform. But events preceding the state con
venton of 1902 compelled action on the sena-
torial question. The same legislature that Is
to enact the platform pledges into law Is also
to elect United States senator. The strong
est influence in defeat Of the platform pledges
in the legislature two years ago had been
tho pronounced public opposition and personal
lobbying Of Senator, Spooner's appointees
against the measures recommended by the tax
commission, and nominations by direct vote
They continued their opposition to this legis-
lation by Immediately entering into contest
to defeat Governor La Follette's denomination
and the readopton OF the platform. They be.
came important factors in support of the
''league,"' whose express purpose was to force
Governor La Toilette from the field.
Used the Senator's Name.
It is common knowledge that this entire
campaign against the denomination OF Gov
ernor La Toilette In which; the readoDtion o.
the platform pledges was at stake, was made
under cover of Senator Spooner's name. Tht

The persistent mosquito appears 10 be
the most annoying of the insects not
merely because of its attack. but on ac
count of its shrill. ceaseless song. There
seems to be no way by which, the in
habitants can be protected from this
pest. 1t is probable that the sufferers
in the islands will be able to extract
some comfort over the success of the
campaign in Cuba and be led to hope
that another effective warfare will be
waged upon the mosquitoes in our Pa
cific possessions.

moNN VS.. SYMPATHY.

The alacrity with which the soft coal
miners are providing funds to assist
the striking anthracite workers shows
this alternative is much preferable to a
sympathetic strike. 1t means less per-
sonal sacrifices and less hardship to
miners than movement of doubtful
outcome. They cheerfully follow the
leadership of President Mitchell. who
advocated this course and whose sa-
gacity as a leader is widely commended.
He was not in favor of breaking con-
tracts with operators, which is another
thing to his credit. AS Il practical meas
ure it is of more assistance to the strik-
ing hard coal miners than oceans of
sympathy II the s2.000,000 month is
raised. as was designed by the con-
vention, il will mean that each striker
In the hard coal region will get an av-
erage of $50 per month.
The situation in the anthracite dis
trict remains unchanged. The operat-
that if the union can raise $2,000,U00
month the strike should last for some
time longer, but that in the end the
strikers are certain to lose, and will
return to work without concessions of
any kind. AS to their present stand, it
Is unaltered, and will remain SO, they
declare. They will continue prepara-
tons at their mines for the resumption
OF work, clearing them up, retimbering
and removing falls, and be in readiness
to start up without delay.
AS to the hard coal trade the Phila-
delphia Ledger states there is no APP
preciable movement or coal and but
little demand, consumers not requiring
much this hot weather. Bituminous
and other substitutes are largely sup
plying its place. This condition is eN-
pected to continue until an end comes
to the strike, but when that will be does
not seem at present in sight.

A SUBJECT PERSONAL.

Amid the constant fire of acrimonious
debate that always serves to stir the
blood of positive and vigorous journal
ism there occasionally comes bugle
sound waited over the breeZes from
afar that stirs the heart at the thought
of men who appreciate the fight that is
being waged in this particular neck-o'-
the-woods. The Mason City Times
Herald, splendid type of the positive
journal itself, has this to say of the
T.-R:
while considerable comment is
being made regarding the good pa
pers of Iowa, the people in the north
and central part of the state cannot ov-
erlook the Marshalltown Times Repub-
lican. The Times-Herald has a
great many good papers on its ex-
change list but no paper received by us
is as valuable in it's news and local de-
partment as the Times-Republican. 1t
is great help to all newspaper offices
along the line of the Iowa Central in
the nolth-central part of the state.
Other papers are made much better by
is, how can a paper published in so
small town as Marshalltown, with the
limited patronage at it's command, be
so successfully conducted? Certainly
Col. Fritz and Deacon Dotson must be
onto their jobs pretty well.'-Times-
Herald, July %.
To brother publishers we will admit
that the problem is hard one. At
times when difficulties arise the thick
est we are led to reflect that the same
effort in a larger field might accom-
plish more, but the T.-R. now has a
stable list of subscribers in $50 Iowa
towns. It is putting up daily issue
(the only eight column to the page
daily in Iowa) as costly If not the most
costly in the state and 1t asks and re-
ceives the highest subscription price of
any daily circulated in Iowa, either
from Chicago, Minneapolis, Des Moines
or Sioux City. Every time a cheap 81,

thousands dollars to the annual cost of
improving the quality of our product
and we have prospered. The circula-

Rect SUGAR DEVELOPMENT.

The beet sus ar industry is shown to
congressman that the agitation of re-
ciprocity with Cuba would check its
development. This year the beet sugar
area is 25e,514 a4,res. as against $4,000
last wear, tho it must be a sad confess
sion for Iowans that not a single acre
from that state is included in this esti-
mate. 1t is also matter of regret that,
altho Iowans for years haze been urged
to establish factories here, not one has
been erected within the limits of the
state. 1t has been demonstrated by
practical experiment that beets of the
best quality can be grown in Iowa, and
there is no local or valid reason why
the state should not take part in devel-
oping the industry and in sharing in its
profits. The department of agriculture
believes that with a proper develop
nent of this industry the United States
will be able to raise it's own sugar sup
ply within a period cf a dozen years.
And large numbers of our people
including the reciprocity committee in
congress, believe that reciprocity can
be granted to Cuba without injuring
the beet sugar cause. The attitude of
the people in Iowa is very favorable to
the beet interest, and yet. because of
the large sums required to build fac
tories, it has failed to establish foot

tie doubt that he rejected that dogma
and all that rests llpon it,

Now for the work itself 1t opens
with chapter consisting of the first
seven verses of the second chapter of
Luke. entitled. Joseph and Mary go TO
Bethlehem. where Jesus is born" These
verses give simple and rational ac-
count of Josephs journey to Bethlehem
with Mary. his espoused Wife, and of
the birth of her first born SON, who
MAS laid in a manager because there
WAS no room for them in the inn The
immaculate conception. the wise men
and their star, and all other miraculous
features are omitted The narrative
proceeds with verses II and 8? of the
same chapter of Luke, telling briefly of
the circumcision and naming OF the
child and the return To Nazareth
The episode i'm Jerusalem follows, in
which Jesus. a the age of L.. disputed
with the doctors in the temple Verses
from Luke, Mark and Matthew tell of
Johns work of baptizing in the Jordan
and q chapter of two verses narrates
the baptism of Jesus. A few other brief
chapters OF this kind complete the OUT
line of Christ's early life, and then the
rest of the book consists chiefly of the
teachings of Jesus. The chapter en-
titled The Sermon on the Mount" is by
far the longest in the book containing
III verses, taken from Matthew and
Luke.
All the miracles are omitted. tho
there is an incidental reference in one
or two verses to the healing of the sick.
Apparently all the parallels are pre-
as are all the moral precepts
and most of the incidents that called
them forth. The betrayal by Judas. the
trials before Caiaphas and PLATE. the
farcical hearing before Herod the Cruz
citixion--all these are recounted in the
words of the gospels. The book closes
With a chapter of nine verses on The
ending thus: Now i'm the place
where He was crucified there was a
garden: and in the garden was a new
wherein WAS never man yet
laid. There laid they Jesus and rolled
Il great stone TO the door of the sepul-
chre. and departed" And there Mr.
Jefferson leaves The stone.
Theological questions aside. this
simple presentation of the teachings of
Jesus is peculiarly impressive in its
moral sublimity and its purely human
appeal. Looking at the matter in the
more tolerant light of the present day,
the mere fact that Jefferson gave his
leisure moments to compiling such a
volume is a new proof of the depth and
of his character.
And somehow, altho Mr.. Jefferson
left the stone there" several million
people have since Jefferson's day per-
