OUR NATIONAL NEUTRALITY.

There has never been any doubt
about the attitude of the present adj
ministration toward the Boer war, and
yet it is reassuring to notice that when
the test comes frank and clear state
ment of the national position is quickly
given. The two Boer representatives
who, with faint hearts, approached
President Roosevelt to find some ray of
hope for a waning cause, We're prompt
ly told that the United States can not
and will not interfere in that struggle.
There was no diplomatic sparring, no
doubtful reserve, no uncertain contin-
gency or probability suggested, but
free and open enunciation of the ma
tional attitude of neutrality. Every
days experience shows the president
to have the courage of his convictions,
and mental and judicial poise that fits
him for great responsibility. What
ever may be individual opinions as to
the rightfulness of the Boer cause
however HUGH one without great re-
sponsibility might declare what he
would do to aid the Beers, there could
be but one attitude he could safely as
sumo in this emergency.
Beaten in the field and scattered in
places of hiding. with their people be-
ing decimated and destroyed. the Boer
leaders face only one possibility, that
of being exterminated. They are guilty
of a crime against their own innocent
subjects in holding out when hope no
longer exists. They could even now Sc
cure from the British government lib
eral concessions that might enable
them in part TO recover losses and gain
some footing as a people, but they will
lose this if they do not yield. 1t is a
wise nation, as we'll as a shrewd indi-
vidual, that knows when to quit. That
period came long ago to the leaders of
the Beers

PURE FOOD MEASURES.

It is announced from Des Moines
that the Secor pure food bill has been
approved by the house agricultural
committee. 1t has a wide scope, but It's
chief aim is to prohibit authorizations OF
various kinds and misleading state
ments in regard to foods and mixtures
that are not approved as healthful. The
statutes of Iowa already provide in
food, Furnishing those who are convict
ed of it by Jail sentence of not more
than one year or fine not exceeding
$500. The laws also forbid the mixing,
coloring. staining or powdering of any
article of food with articles that are in
furious. 1t would seem that this ought
to cover such fragrant authorizations,
but if the proposed measure is more
specific and points out articles that
ought to be interdicted it may serve
good purpose if adopted The T.-R. is
willing to take on faith any such meas
ure that mas the ann VI INNING an
food purer without striking at anything
that is inoffensive
The trouble is that too many of our
laws, such as the proposed measure, are
not enforced, and are practically dead
letters on our statute books. Each leg
islature turns out a new installment,
many of them of excellent purpose.
They will not enforce themselves. and
1t is only occasionally that an injured
citizen feels called upon to look over the
code to invoke remedy in his individ-
ual case

Getting Ready to Launch Cuba.
Minneapolis Tribune.l

President Roosevelt and cabinet are
already considering the details and the
date of the withdrawal of the Ameri-
can troops from Cuba. The idea is
that as soon as the newly elected Gu
ban government is inaugurated, treat
les of various kinds will be negotiated
with 1t, precisely defining the relatione
between the two countries and fixing
the time Of evacuation. The date is
not likely to be earlier than May list.

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW
Written for the Times Republcan

Written for the Times Republican
The general public are aware that
what is known as the anti-pass bill
has been killed in the Iowa house of
representatives. Assuming that the
majority of the voters of Iowa were in
terested in this bill and are in favor
of such a bill becoming a law, the
exact manner and the trickery shown
in disposing of this bill will be of in
terest to the reader. What follows
is partly taken from the already pub
lished reports, and supplemented by
what a gentleman present, and in close
proximity to the principal actors on
this occasion tells the writer. The
bill was before the house on regular
committee report open to debate and
regular amendments. To the unsophis-
ticated outsider it seemed as tho here
was chance to put on record the
vote of each representative sent to
Des Moines to carry out the wishes OF
the people. A great mistake. See how
they avoided 1t and killed the whole
business
AT the right time, when the actors
We're ready, Representative , as
joke $50 he told Mr.. Hughes, the au-
thor of the bilD, offered as an amend.
ment, that ministers and priests be
included in the provisions of the bill.
Then the indignant (?) strictly relig-
ious member from --, as an ex
preston of his hurt feelings, moved
to lay the amendment on the table
Not half of the members present knew
enough of parliamentary law to real
ize that If this passed, both amend
ment and original bill went together,
and that to take from the table or re-
consider the vote is an impossibility,
where members desire to kill any bill
In this manner 1t must be admitted
that the effect of laying this amend
ment on the table, and thus to kill the
bill, was explained previous to the vote
Nevertheless the anti-pass bill was
killed in this way.
What adds to the "cussedness" OF
this kind of legislation, is that When
the constituent calls on his representa-
tives to find out why he voted to kill
this anti-pass bill, he is met with the
plain statement, Il didn't vote against
the bill. l voted against min
iotSiS anu PRIESTS DelnS Qenled ralI-
road passes. But you knew when
You voted to lay this amendment on
the table. the original bill went with
1t. Yes, l knew that and voted in the
affirmative, so in the future l could
vote to reconsider" So here we have
the representatives record clear. He
did not vote against the anti-pass bill, |
and is ready to vote to reconsider
when?
Now there is an impression, of course
1t can never be proved that this whole
procedure was "a cut and dried plan"
1t is we'll known that Representative
Hughes expected some kind of STRAIT
egy," !. e., railroad influence to kill |
this measure. But this particular pro-
ceeding was a surprise to him and the /
few friends of the bill. And with
such recurring work in each succeed
ing legislature, is it any wonder thar

fore the people begin to "d- the

In his Vinton Eagle State Printer
Bernard Murphy says of Iowa's ex-
governor and present incumbent:
Governor Shaw and Governor Cum
Minis have set an awful rapid pace for
future governors of Iowa. Governor
Shaw had probably more calls than any
other governor in the union and the i'm
preston seems to prevail the the same
rule can apply to Governor Cummins.
Iowa ought to be, and is, proud that It
has two such men as Shaw and Cum
minis who can so ably represent it when
occasion requires. 1t is we'll that past
legislatures lifted the burdens of state
from our governors shoulders SO they
may go abroad and represent our glo-
rious state"
