TO SEND PROTEST TO CAR.

President Roosevelt has decided to
transmit protest against the klshe-
ney massacres to the Russian car.
This decision was reached after care
full consideration of the representations
made to him by the executive council
of the B'nai Birth. an American Jew
ish organization. The request of the
executive council was that a proclama-
ton be issued by the czar giving as
surances of religious liberty in Rus
STA.
In making his answer to the B'nai
Birth through Secretary Hay, notify,
ing that society of his decision Presi-
dent Roosevelt states that he had con-
sidered most seriously the matter as
to whether such proceeding would be
of advantage to the prosecuted Jews
of Russia He also says that on this
point he has decided to accept the
opinion Of the petitioners and that OF
numerous groups of intelligent Ameri.
cans of the Jewish faith which they
represent.
In due time the petition will be pre-
pared by the B'nai Birth and sent to
President Roosevelt who will then
transmit it to the Russian government.
The Uaied States government will ap-
pear in the affair only as an agent and
not as protesting in its own behalf SO
that no international difficulties can re-
suit from the decision

CROP CONDITIONS IMPROVE.

More favorable weather resulting in
better crop conditions in Iowa is the
gist Of the Iowa crop bulletin for the
part week. The few showers that have
fallen have not interfered with field
work to any material extent and have
served to mellow the baked SOIL
Iowa now witnesses a much increas-
ed acreage in corn as the result of the
continued planting and the work of
cultivation has been carried on with
good effect, leaving the cornflelds in
much improved condition. Though
somewhat smaller than IS customary
at this season of the year the corn in
Iowa has recovered its normal color.
Other crops are reported from all parts
of the state to show most encouraging
conditions. Small grains are heading
and at this time give promise of more
than an average yield. Hay shows a
most phenomenal growth. Already the
harvesting of the first clover crop has
begun in some parts OF the state and
shows that product to be in excellent
condition. Prospects for timothy are
also good and a record yield is ex-
pected this season. There absolutely
seems to be no cause for apprehension
in regard to the outcome OF Iowa

REPUBLICANS SHOULD KEEP THE
PEACE.


Cedar Rapids Republican-Th Sioux
City Tribune has heard that sit is free
ly predicted today that there will be
a fight in the convention
(the republican convention) The tariff
reformers state positively that they
can carry the day and adopt the old
Iowa idea. If Cummins will only hang
out the banner it would create power
full enthusiasm, they say, and create
revolt that would sweep through the
state. The spirit of protest is getting
stronger every day."
The esteemed Tribune is spelling for
fight in the republican convention.
1t is trying to urge on Mr.. Cumnins.
But, as a matter of fact, there is little
or no chance of fight, following the
democratic harmony convention. The
democrats have spoken the first word
this year and they have taken the
ground that some republican radicals
have been debating. Now that the
ground is occupied republicans had
better let 1t alone. This is not mat
ter of personal pride that we have to
deal with, but party success, for it
may be assumed hat the united democ'
racy will make a more or less deter.
mined fight in Iowa this fall
Republicans had better get together
and stay together and to do that they
had better drop all experiments with
such questions as the tariff. The old
utterances are good enough still. Stick
to them.

mob is for blood and nothing else will
satisfy them. Not even murder had
been committed by the Belleville man.
True, he may have attempted it but
the mob did not care for that. Blood
was wanted and the blood of this vic
tim 1t would have. 1t is admitted that
the crime of the Delaware negro was
parbarous and revolving There ap-
peared to be reason for the belief that
he was guilty. 1t is stated that he
confessed-though this fact made no
difference with the Infatuated men.
The blood of the victims must be had.
so also was it in the case of the ne
gro who was yesterday strung up by
the tennessee mob, only the death of
the man would satisfy the desire for
vengeance that existed in the hearts
OF every member of the mob.
Whatever the crime may have been,
that of lynching is worse. 1t brings
into disrepute the courts of the coun-
try and is nothing more nor less than
travesty on the justice which it pre-
tends to mete out. BY no line of rea-
soning can such actions on the part of
American citizens be justified and
whatever the cost, mob lawlessness
and lynchings should be wiped out.

UNIVERSAL PROTECTION.

Universal protection would not be
protection" This in brief is the way
in which Editor Gunton in the current
number of his magazine makes an
swer to query as to the result upon
the prospects of this country if all 9th
er countries should enact tariff laws
such as our own. Mr.. Gunton's posi-
ticn on this question is entirely right.
1t is the more largely developed manu-
features, the more skilled and better
paid working men and the agricultur-
alist who uses improved methods in
his work that needs protection against
the crude and primitive methods. 1t is
the higher civilization that must guard
against the lowering influences of the
ignorant. In calculating his theory,
Mr.. Gunton says:
Russia has no interest in protecting
her laborers against the influence of
the English and American labor be-
cause If Russia is compelled to adopt
the methods of England and America
there will be an improvement in every
thing she has. 1t is universal law in
nature and society that whatever sue
ceeds tends to establish the method
by which its success was accomplish
ed. If lower civilization can succeed
against higher, by virtue of its use of
cheap labor. it will tend to establish
cheap labor as method of success.
If America succeeds in Russia it will
not be because of cheap labor, but it
must be by virtue of superior methods;
consequently it will tend to establish
the use of superior methods. which,
if adopted in Russia will be net gain
to that country. In ether words, there
is no economic. social or ETHEREAL rea-
son for protecting barbarism against
civilization, cheop labor against dear
labor, hand ~ ~ against machinery,
crudeness against culture. 1t is the
higher, and not the lower, that always
needs protection
Here we have the philosophy of pro-
lection. Americans are believers in
American ideas and methods. They
recognize that through the adoption Of
these ideas and methods the United
| States has far outstripped the rest OF
the world in its development. 1t has
not beer by the employment of cheap
labor but by the Inauguration of high
er improved methods. With this
growth has naturally come the better
education of it's citizens so that today
the american enjoys the highest civil
ization known to the human race.
1t cannot but be evident, then, IL
every person who thinks carefully Oh
this subject that the United State
has man. things for which it needs
protection against the products of
countries Of lower ideals, cruder meth
DDS and lower civilization. So long
as these differences exist just SO long
will America need protection. Should
all other nations of the globe reach the
same standard as the United states,
tariffs such as is now in operation
here, would be of no more value, for
universal protection would mean no
protection"

PASSING OF AN oTTUMwA

The funeral services of the late Cap
tain Samuel B. Evans last Wednesday
marked the closing incident in the pass
ing of one of Ottumwas earliest pio-
neers. For the past forty years Captain
Evans has been connected with OF
stumwa and has been one of that, at
first, little band of pioneers, whose eff
forts and enterprise have aided in the
building up of our now prosperous and
thriving city. OF sturdy and pa
triotic parentage, Mr.. Evans followed
IN their Footsteps and when the call
came in the civil war for men to de-
fend the nation, he entered the service
as a member of the Thirty-third Iowa
infantry, with which regiment he serv-
ed until 1864, when he assisted IN or.
ganizing and received commission in
the Fourth Arkansas cavalry.
Since the close of the war Captain
Evans has been continuous resident
OF Ottumwa and as democratic edi-
tor and member of that party he has
gained wide acquaintance and recog-
milton throughout the state. This af-
ternoon Ottumwa friends, members Of
the Grand Army post, Of which he was
a member, and large number of sym
pathizing friends from various parts of
Iowa join in paying the last tribute of

FUNDS FOR CROP MOVING.

Already the question of funds for
the movement OF crops few months
hence is attracting the attention Of
those financial institutions particularly
Interested Concerning this question
there appears to be different opinion
than existed year ago with less con-
fidence expressed by western banks
concerning their ability to handle that
question without the customary draft
from the east. In 1902 the western
banks had funds to their credit suf-
ficient to meet the demands of the crop
moving season, but they We're on loan
or deposit in the east. When the re-
call OF the funds came last year condi-
tons were precipitated in the east that
bordered on panic.
Prospects this season however, do
not indicate a repetition of that condi-
ton. The Wall Street Journal asserts
that there is much less outside money
in the east than year ago. This is
taken as an indication that the western
banks have made loans in the west
where the funds may be recalled with
greater dispatch when the crop NOV
ing season opens up.

ABUSES NOT NECESSARY.

Sioux City Journal: Abuses are GER
tain to appear in state where one
party has been in uninterrupted control
for thirty years, as is the case in Mis-
souri, st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Not necessarily. The republicans have
been in possession in Iowa since the
birth of the republican party, aside
from two terms of democratic COVER
nor, and then the legislature was not
democratic and all the other executive
officers of the state were republican.
Governor Boies could not have been
elected had he not received the sup
port of boiling republicans, the issue
involved being state wide prohibition
of whisky making and selling. The re-
publicans of this state never lost an
officer on the score of complaint
against the honesty and efficiency of
the government. In times of business
depression republican majorities have
approached 100000, which. in total
vote, as in 1900, of less than $50, 400,
shows high per cent. No state in
the union has been freer of official
scandal than Iowa has been. and it is
safe to say no state has had cleaner
administration of its public affairs.

Ottumwa is pleased to have the mu-

BRYAN AND THE FOURTH.

Des Moines Capital-Mr Bryan is
arranging for an old-fashioned Fourth
of July celebration at his Nebraska
home we are told. Does Mr.. Bryan res
member how he told an audience in
the campaign of 1896 that il Mr.. Nc
Kinley were reelected, and the wicked
imperialists were permitted to come in
to power once more that there would
be no more independence day celebra-
tons, for the spirit of empire would be
upon u.s." 1t is to be hoped that the
distinguished Nebraska statesman will
be frank with the celebrants one week
from next Saturday and recall his ri
diculous prognostication, and admit
that he was previously mistaken.
There is little reason to expect that
he will do this, however The chances
are much greater that the spell Of
prophecy will seize him once more
and that the Lamentations of jeremiah
the Modern, will be augmented with
an additional chapter.

ORIGIN OF TARIFF POLICY.

Burlington Hawk-Eye- The Iowa
democratic platform this year is his
torically inaccurate in its reference to
the tariff policy of the United States
as Originally adopted for the ayowed
purpose OF raising revenue to meet the
enormous burdens of the civil war;"
The policy originated in the beginning
of President Washington's first term
and the act inaugurating it stated spe-5
officially in the preamble that one of it's
purposes was to protect American in
dustries. That was the beginning of
the protective policy, policy which
is not one of the schedules but of prin-
ciple; so that whether the rates of Gus
toms duty be high or low, comparative
ly, the method of their application is
the same in either case. That policy
contemplates duty levied upon i'm
ports of a like nature, and in competi-
ton with, American products.
The antithesis of this policy is to
levy duties upon the other class of i'm
ports; the kind not produced in the
United States, as tea, coffee and the
various articles which the republicans
have put upon the free list 1t also
had its origin in the early days of the
republic and from that day to this the
two policies have antagonized each
other. II the democrats cannot keep
anything else straight, they ought at
least to keep history straight.

AWAIT CHOICE OF CONVENTION.

The selection of vice presidential
candidate should be left to the conven-
ton that meets On 1904. Every few

Some are put forward as the special
choice of President Roosevelt and in
other cases the choice is attributed
to some company of political leaders.
vention to select the candidate for vice
presidential honors and this is the
course they will demand.
That such will be the position taken
by the people Is evidenced by the lack
of publicity given to the candidates al
ready suggested except the mere men
tion OF their names. There has been
a unanimous concession of the first
honors to President Roosevelt This
is the wish Of the people as certainly
as ii he had already been selected by
the convention. But in the choice of a
candidate for vice president there has
been no expression of public prefer
ence and In fact the national campaign
Is too remote to cause 1t to be much
considered by the people.
There is no reason to suppose that
President Roosevelt will attempt or
even desire to name his running mate.
In managing the affairs of the nation
President Roosevelt has enough to
keep him busy for some time to come.
But aside from this such course is
entirely foreign to the Presidents ma
ture. He Is too democratic in his make
up, he believes too firmly in the voice
of the people in governmental affairs
to concede to one.man choice Of a
