Washington, March 2. - President
Roosevelt attended the recent wedding
of the daughter of Senator Cockrell of
Missouri. which was an unusually bril-
liant and enjoyable affair. Among the
guests was Hon. John w. Foster, the
we'll known American diplomat and
former secretary of state, whom the
president has selected to look after the

was inadvertently the cause Of a palpa-
BILE disaster.
During the serving of the wedding
breakfast Mrs. Foster asked her hUs-
band to get her some salad. Mr.. Eos
ter went to the table and procured a
plate of salad and a cup Of clam bouil-
lon. Just as he was about to hand the
salad to Mrs. Foster the president
came up and asked the diplomat some
question about the Alaskan boundary.
Mr.. Foster very justly prides himself
on his knowledge of the conditions and
status of Alaska and began an earnest
dissertation ON that subject, giving
emphasis by rather animated gesticu-
lations. The result was that the salad
slid gracefully off the plate and landed
full on the front breadth of Mrs. Fos-
ter's magnificent dress. H.
The discussion of the Alaskan bound
airy question came to an abrupt end,
Mr.. Foster having more serious things
to engross his Immediate attention.

McDonald's
Office Boy

two are on the best of terms. The 9th
er day, when Senator Beveridge of In
diana was delivering one of his ha-
rangues against Quay's statehood bill
and the Pennsylvania was trying hard
not to let it ruff1e him, Cullom asked in
reminiscent mood:
Quay, do you remember Mcdonald
Of Indiana? He used to occupy the
seat you now have right beside me-"
Quay said that he did, with a show
of impatience which did not disturb
the Illinois senator in the least.
"Well, what l was going to tell you
about was that once, twenty years ago,
he told me he had an office boy who in
sisted on studying law in his Office and
who he believed had the material in
him to make one of the leaders in his
state and whose name would some time
become famous"
Quay showed still more impatience
at the Illinois senator's "reminiscences
and the speech of Beveridge, and burst
out with, suppose be did, what has
that got to do with statehood and the
present tangle l am imp
+ "Oh, nothing said CuIlom, only
that's his Office boy speaking over there
now" he said as he directed his index
finger toward Senator Beyeridge.
In the course of an earnest and pa
thetic plea for pension for one of his
constituents Representative Shattuc of
Ohio said:
Mr. Speaker, this man is totally
blind. He is dependent on what the
government gives him for sustenance
His sight is gone, and recall that one
day he came and saw me-
Shattuc was for a time at loss to
understand why his colleagues We're

ter. as.5..
When Senator Depew was well un-
der way the other day with his anti
statehood speech, he encountered Sen
ator Bate, who went OFF on an extend

Iowa Democratic Convention.

From the Creston Qa.) Morning American.
We believe that Is per cent of the
democrats of Iowa are in favor of the
principles of the Kansas City plat
form, but it is a lamentable fact that
the sleek schemes, the corporation
lawyers, and curbstone brokers, who
call themselves democrats are always
in evidence at the primaries, and hav-
ing the time and passes to attend the
state conventions they get themselves
made delegates and once a delegate
they pay no heed to the sentiment of
their constituents.
The Wapello county convention for
instance passed resolutions indors-
ing the Kansas City platform. They
die not, however. instruct their dele
gates. Of the seventeen delegates
selected nine were in favor of reaffir-
nation, but only few of the nine at
tended, and the majority of the votes
of the county were cast against reaf-
firmation although the county con-
vention had by vote declared in favor
of Endorsement. Mills county is
another example, the county conven-
tion passed resolutions indorsing the
Kansas City platform and yet the
vote of that county was cast solidly
against it.
If the men who favor. progressive
platforms will not attend the primar-
les and send delegates to the state
convention who represent their views
they must not expect to have their
views represented.
1t was also noticeable fact that
the old non-progressive element which
voted down reaffirmation did not Care
put up man for governor who rep.
presented that element. They knew
that such man would not poll much
over half the democratic vote of the
state. This fact of itself shows that
they know which is the popular side
with the democratic voter. They
knew that they must have progress
sive man to head the ticket.

Star. but if you will write ringing
editorials in your paper denouncing
the Pullman charges and demanding
that the price of upper berths be put
down, l will copy them in the Star
and that will give them general cir
culation.''
The scheme was good one and for
several weeks Albaugh took the Pull
man Company down the line hard
and the pieces would be reproduced
in the Star. Suddenly the Star
stopped copying the Kingman editor
ials. The next time Mort saw Van
he inquired why he had not kept up
his end of the game.

The amount of money, and mortgages
listed for taxation in this state is SO
ridiculously small compared to the
known amounts as to suggest to our
law makers that it is time something
was done. The tax laws are about
as little respected as the prohibitory
law, and that means they are regard
ed with but little favor. 1t becomes
more apparent each year that some
change in the method of taxation
should be made and one of the
changes that seems to be indicated is
the exemption OF personal property.
One thing is clear to all, this class OF
property should be reached in all
cases or it should be all exempt. The
former method has been tried and
failed. Why not try the other?

The mayor of Kansas City, Kans..
brought down a storm of iced indig-
nation on his. head recently by pro-
mitigating an order that if the ice
company doing business in that city
failed to weigh ice as delivered the
drivers of the wagons should be ar
rested. 1t seems that the company
had acquired the habit of cutting of
chunks and guessing at the weight,
and the people became suspicious that
when the chunk was to GO upstairs
the man who was delivering would
guess small every time. The com.
pany bluffed but came promptly to
time when it was discovered that they
were in danger of being ousted from
the city business.

The interesting Information comes
from the anthracite coal district that
the price of the coal from that terri
tory is to be advanced fifty cents per
ton. The coal barons propose to
show the people that they cannot
show sympathy for strikers and es-
cape the penalty. twill be remem-
bered that after the strike of last year
the, price of hard coal was left fifty
cents a ton higher than before, and
the present advance makes total of
one dollar per ton that the consumer
pays in excess of what he did before
the great strike. A little more of this
sort Of thing and the people will be-
gin to seriously consider the question

The newspapers are having con-

aiming to do ia to bust into the har-
vester trust instead of annihilating
It. AS soon as he is able to convince
the managers of this trust that he
means business'he will be invited to
