Booth the Boy Actor.

Edwin Booth, by many regarded as
Americas greatest actor, is the hero of
scores of incidents which have been
woven into the folk lore of the drama
Junius Brutus Booth, his father, was
known in his day as THE tragedian,' as
though there was not another in the
world to equal him, which indeed is the
claim d-timers who heard him are wont
to make. The story goes that the elder
Booth discouraged the young Edwin's his
trionc ambitions and threw every OBJ
stacle in his way. Despite these the boy
made great progress, and the father,
forced-to admit his talent, decided upon a
final test. The following night, feigning
sickness, the father asked young Edwin
to play Richard Third in his place. From
the front row he saw his son win his first
success. Edwin Booth inherited the rare
talent and temperament which made him
an actor. Other men struggle lifetime
for such success. In this great struggle
man is thrice equipped who starts with
a case Of Golden Grain Belt" beer, the
ideal beverage for all mankind.

IiANNA's DEFENSE OF RATHBoNE.

Senator Hanna defense Of Rathbone
is most interesting confession of the
abuses that have existed in our "colo-
nies." He says: cat the utmost Rath-
bone was victim of the prevailing GUS
tom of lavish expenditures among the
government officials in Cuba during the
reconstruction period following the
war;" In one sense, we have no doubt,
this is true. Rathbone saw how every
body else was living in millionaire style
and he went in to eclipse everything in
sight. He did it.
But the interesting fact overlooked by
Senator Hanna is that this was done on
the money of the government and of
the Cubans. The distinguishing feature
of "the prevailing custom of lavish ex-
penditures among the government Off
cials in Cuba" was that not a blessed
soul of them was spending his own
money. And the custom came natural
to Mr.. Rathbone. because he had long
been used to it. His experience a. a

ator Hanna and other republican states
men had qualified him to spend other

Democrat was bought by Brewster last
summer and he has undoubtedly pub.

the paper have been filled with all the
news, for some unaccountable reason the
business men of Ottumwa have failed to
give the paper any material support in
the way Of advertising and the result
has been that there has been steady
loss ever since the paper was bought by

LEGISLATURE ADJOURNs.

The twenty-nlntn general assembly
adjourned Friday after the most remark.
able session ever held. In many re-
spects it was a holy fright. From the
time the legislature convened the people
have been both amazed and disgusted
at the workings of the railroad lobby,
and that their labor was not in vain can
!. be seen by the votes of many members
on the anti-pass bill, the RAILROAD taxa
ton, merger and other bills and some Of
the members will have a hard time
explaining their votes on these measures.
1t was also very expensive session and
the people Of the state will find it so
when they come to pay their taxes, for
it is stated the state levy for the next
two years will be 4.5 mills. while the
highest levy ever made before was 2.7
mills in 1901. Money was voted for
everything asked for in large sums,
and salaries of state and county
officers were raised away up beyond
what. they have been heretofore.
Such work will result in mighty up.

might and elect reform legislature and

THE VOTING MACHINE.

Ihey used q voting machine up in Des
Moines at the last city election in one
Of the precincts and in speaking of it
the LeadeEfsays editorially:
"In the Fourth precinct of the Third
ward voting machine was used in yes
terday's election. The result Of the ex-
pertinent was such as to give additional
emphasis to the demand that machines
shall be bought for use, at least in the
city precincts. Every one who voted
under the new process is loud in praises
of the simplicity and feasibility of the
device.
r While in other precincts the election
judges were laboriously paving for
hours over ballots and tally sheets, in
the Fourth precinct of the Third ward
the result was announced in nineteen
minutes after the polls had closed.
Even this short time could be shortened.
There was no possibility of fraud OF mis-.
take in the count. Every voter had
infallible assurance that his vote was
counted as recorded. In addition to
the advantages of speed, and protec.
ton against fraud or mistake, it is man
ifest that the use of machines means
economy in elections. The remunera-
ton annually paid to election judges
and clerks for the long hours they con.
sumo in counting would more than pay
the interest on the sum which the ma.
chimes would cost.
"A greatimany people have assumed
that the voting machine would be
cumbersome and complicated concern,
before which any man would stand
hope'essly. 1t is not as difficult to vote
correctlyas an Australian ballot over
which from to 10 per cent Of voters
still stumble. For the instruction Of the
voter . machine was set up near the polls
and anySvoter who had doubts Of his
ability was shown, but most of them did
not need preliminary instruction. Any
man who can read and who has suffi.
cient intelligence to pull rod finds no
trouble in using the machine"

SIGNING OF THE HUBBARD BILL

AS anticipated, Governor Cummins
has signed the Hubbard bill, which, un-
der careful restrictions, permits an Iowa
railroad to acquire lines in other than
adjoining states. During The legislative
session this bill, asked for by the Bur-
llngton lobby, was associated with the
defunct Molesberry bill, and consider
able prejudice was created against it on
this account. But for reasons which al
ready have been stated in these col
umns the Hubbard bill, considered
alone. does not seem to be an objection
able or dangerous measure.
Section 2,038t Of the code provides that
any railroad corporation organized in
Iowa, as to its line, ''may construct or
extend the same into or through any
other state" Under this provision an
Iowa railroad corporation can extend
it's line anywhere, but the Language.
seemed to imply that il must actually
construct. and that 1t could not acquire
that which was already constructed.
Section 2,O47 of the code provides that
any railroad corporation organized nm.
der the laws q Iowa ''may acquire,
own or hold either the whole or any
part Of the stocks, bonds and securities
Of any other railroad company Of this
or any adjoining state" 1t will bs OBJ.
served that the right was to extend IN.
to any state, bat that the purchase Of
controlling or other interest in railroads
could only be in an adjoining" state.
1t would seem that If railroad should
possess the right to build into any state,
that its right to purchase should not be
limited to "adjoining" states. The
Hubbard law corrects this incongruity,-
and confers upon any railroad the right
to purchase in any state as it has the
right to extend into any state.
But in view Of the agitation over the
Hubbard bill, and in Difference to the
known views of the governor, material
point was gained In tho public interest.
A vital amendment was tackled on the
bill, and it is declared, for the first time
in Iowa law, that there shall be no con-
solidation or merger of competing lines.
Iowa now has in her law the principle
which is embodied in the constitution
of Illinois, Minnesota and many other
states. This is distinct gain. Perhaps
in time there will be complete railroad
consolidation and consequent elimina-
ton of competition from the railroad
business. But such combination will be
intolerable only when there is establish.
ed in complete measure the principle of
national control of railroad rates. This
principle is not yet established, and un-
til it is the public must hang on to
what shreds of railroad competition still
exist, and it is proper public policy to
throw impediments in the way Of the
consolidation OF competing lines. The
Hubbard bill. in the amendment which
forbids the consolidation Of competing
lines, is thus in the public interest.
