1t is matter of congratulation
that the republican national committee
in taking steps which may right the
inequalities existing in representa-
ton in our national conventions.
The plan whereby one republican
voter in the south has ten or twenty
and in at least one instance, in
South Carolina, sixty times more in
fiuence in national conventions than
an Iowa republican, is absolutely
wrong. The division of delegates
according TO votes cast for the party
is considered equitable and fair in
state and county affairs, why not in
national? The congressional repre-
sentation of the sonth also should be
shorn. When it practically disfran-
chises the negroes it should not re-
ceive the benefit of the negro popula-
ton in the congressional apportion-
ment

Some of The Coming Conventions.
From the Des Moines Capital

The republican national convention
will undoubtedly be held in the month
of June, 1904. State conventions must
be held thirty days previous to the
national convention. In Iowa il has
been customary in presidential years
to hold two republican state conyen-
tons, one of them early to select dele
gates to the national convention, the
other late for the purpose of nominat-
ing state ticket. Once when Senator
Allison was candidate for the presi-
dency the Iowa state convection was
held as early as March. However,
the legislature will be in session in
March and the natural wish will be
not to disturb or interior with the pro-
ceedings of that body by introducing
national politics. The legislature will
probably be in session also during n
large part of the month of April.
Therefore it has been suggested that
the first convention in Iowa be held
the last week in April or the first
week in May and that the second con
vention be held sometime in August,
1t is we'll enough tohaye the presiden-
tial campaign in full swing before the
second state convention is held. In
August the enthusiasm of the presi-
Dental year will be on and the SECOND
state convention can he converted into
grand rally for Roosevelt and his
running mate. However, the date for
the state conventions will be fixed by
the state central committee after due
consideration OF all circumstances.

Next Sunday, Dec. 20, marks the
one hundredth anniversary of the
Louisiana purchase. That date mark
ed the change of that vast territory,
including the territory now within our
own state, along with a dozen or more
other states, from Louisiana to the
Rockies on the northwest, from
France to the United States. 1t was
a momentous occasion, fraught with
much good to the human race. But
if the transfer had not been made
then it would have come at some
other time. This great Mississippi
Valley belonged to the new republic
and her people by right Of its loca-
ton. 1t was needed as a place in
which to develop the nation.

Colonel Won Altdorf was holding his head
with one arm and forcing brandy from
little glass between his teeth. Young NAL

between his own. Mackenzie and lowered

went to the window that overlooked the
garden. where he stood gazing out upon
the trees, again for long time. He had
raised a protesting hand when Won Altdorf
would have spoken. so that we all stood
silent. waiting.
When he turned back into the room there
was no more passion to be seen upon his
face no more of the furious tempest of
rage that had so lately shaken him. His
head dropped ard the. flush in his cheeks
seemed of honest shame.
He went over to young Denis Mallory and
held out his hand

prince in low voice. II put shameful

lightly as not to scratch the skin nor tear
the garment, but always to be felt, always
to make the man realize that he could run
him through in an instant if he wished it.
Breast, arm, shoulder, even cheek he
touched him, and the prince cursed with
the little breath he had left cursed and
sobbed with rage, for now he knew that
the man would not kill or even wound him.

He knew that he was being played with

before us all. Already his wrist burned as
If with fire. and his arm near the
shoulder ached till it was numb. His
sword played still in sort of mechanical
desperat ton. but there was no cunning nor
strength In 1t. Then. while his brain swan
dizzily and the garden before his eyes
wheeled and swung as in fever, he heard
Mr.. Mallory say sharply, as If from a great
distance.

ness that was far from their due. but he
relished little this sort of thing from an
other.
He looked up to the window and met nay
eyes. He gave little shrug of helpless
ness and shook his head.
'I'n not fight with you. sir" said he TO
the prince. You're needed elsewhere, L m
told Your life mustn't be rlsked."

glanced up at me for an instant and smiled.

took down the foils from the wall near
at hand, and tossed them to him. Both
men had taken off jackets and waistcoats,
and they took their blades and went to
work in an instant Denis quietly and
wholly on the defensive, the prince with a
mad fury that made me fear for moment
lest he break down that matchless guard.
At the clash of the blades Won Altdorf
came running across the studio. He had
been comforting with Mackenzie in ii far
corner, and had not seen me fetch the
swords.

ran, fighting. fighting? For Gods sake,

far as financial investments are concerned
any one can rely upon the others to help
him.
Today the English branch is perhaps the
most important, the Naples and the Frank
foreShouses having been discontinued. This
was founded by Nathan Mayer Rothschild
VINO Vas cloth merchant in Frankfort a
part OK his life. Much of his cloth was
brought from England. and the trade in
certain patterns was controlled by one man
who had crusty business methods, and who
Tor soma reason or other refused to deal
with young Rothschild. The result was that
Rothschild went to Manchester to buy
goods. He at once saw the opportunities
for money making there and stayed and
opened bank. The bank paid He moved
1t to London and did better and at the end
of five wears was worth million dollars.
Six Million Dollars in One Day.
He then went into speculation on a broad
scale. He bought and sold stocks and at
the time of the battle of Waterloo made
six million dollars in one day out of adj

on his horse and watched the battle and as
soon as he saw that Napoleon was defeated
he rode post haste for the English channel
He had relays of horses and galloped night

took the horses and galloped on to London.
When he came on the stock exchange he
looked sad and in strict confidence told how
Butcher had been defeated by Napoleon,
neglecting to mention Napoleons defeat
later on. The result was that stocks went
down like shot. and Rothschild through
his secret agents was able to buy enough to
make this enormous sum.
This Nathan Rothschild had several prin-
ciples of business success. He believed,
like Andrew Carnegie, in putting your eggs
into a single basket and watching the baS-
ket. At one of his dinners a guest said to
him that he hoped the Rothschild chill
dren would not be fond of money and bust
ness to the exclusion of more important
things. Said Rothschild:
II want them to give mind and soul,
heart and body, everything to business.
and l think this the only way in which they
can be happy. I believe in sticking to one
business. If you have a brewery, stick to
it, and you will soon be the greatest brewer
in England If you are a banker, do the
same, and if you are broad enough in your
ideas you can get to the top of the bank
ing business. One thing you must remem-
Der. and that is you have got to be bold
and cautious TO make a fortune, and that
when you have it it will take ten times as
much wit to keep it as to make it
Again he said: II make it a principle
never to have anything to do with
lucky place or an unlucky man. l have
seen many very clever men who have not
shoes to their feet. l never act with them.
Their advice SOUNDS good, put IL tney can
not get on themselves how can they do
good for me? Nothing breeds success like
contact with success"
Have Loaned Billions.
The Rothschilds have handled millions
in the shape of loans for the great coun-
tries of the world. They have taken gov
eminent bonds by the bushel and peddled
them out by the piece. They have placed
more than a billion dollars worth of secu-
rites for Great Britain within the past one
hundred years They have placed $3.50 co.,
coo for Austria, 500 100000 for Prussia,
$500 O00. 600 for France, $780, 600 900 for Italy,
and smaller amounts for the different
South American states. Indeed until re-
Gently, they have had almost a monopoly
of such business, but they will have it no
score of ways that were not known a half
century ago. Her savings bank systems
swallow up vast amounts of government
bonds, and there is plenty of outside capt.
tai. The United States is in the banking
business. and she can easily send or bring
money across the water. The Rothschilds
are still powerful but their power is on the
Wane.
