SAN FRANCISCO, March Nv. B.
Bentley. a missionary who has been a
number Of years in Shanghai, has just ar
rived here. Speaking Of the situation in
China he said:
The latest atrocity committed by the Box

the province of Chi Ii. All the missionaries
are focking into the cities as the country
is no longer safe for foreigners.
The Boxer movement iE China has two
different phases. In Southern China the
movement is against tine dynasty, while In
the north the cry is Down with the for
eigners." The entire movement is not by
the Boxers, but class known as the re
form" party.
The Cantonese in Southern China have
always been hostile to the present dynasty.
This Is because the Cantonese 90 abroad
and imbibe foreign ideas. Their movement
is anti-dynastic. In the northern provinces
there is an anti-foreign feeling, mingled
with the hatred of the dynasty.
Throughout China there is a lack of CO.
operation among the reformers and prob

will be of small proportions.

Mr.. Hart for Fairbanks.

council BUNS Nonparelf: Ernest
L. Hart, Iowa member of the republi.
can national committee, plans to at.
tend the committee meeting in Wash.
ington, December ii and u, at which
time the place and date of the next re.
publican national convention will be
chosen. Mrs. Hart. will accompany
him. and they will visit several east
ern cities before returning to Council
Bluffs.
Mr.. Hart is at present noncommittal
as to his preference for the location of
the national convention, stating that
he prefers to await the, meeting Of the
committee before he fully decides be-
tween the several competing cities.
However Mr.. Hart is inclined to be-
lieve that the contest for the conven-
ton lies between Chicago and st.
Louis. The general opinion of the
national committeeman, as reported
thus far, favors making the republic
can presidential nominations about
the middle of June.
"Of course president Roosevelt will
be renominated unless something very
unexpected happens between now and
the convention said National Com
mitteman Hart yesterday. "'But for
the place of Vice President there is
likely to be quite a contest. Unless
some Iowa man comes forward for
that nomination | am in favor of
United States Senator Charles w.
Fairbanks, of Indiana, for he seems
to be the logical and strongest cand-
date yet suggested for the Vice Presi-
dency. | understand Senator Fair
banks will accept the nomination, al
though he is reported to have presi-
Dental aspirations for 1908. If Gov.
Cummins, Secretary Shaw or Sepa-
tor Dolliver decides to try for the
vice presidency / shall naturally favor
one of them, but as yet neither has
announced such a candidacy | am in
clined to believe they will not enter
the field for next year" : *
Mr. Hart will be.a candidate for re-
election as Iowa member of the. repub-
lican national committee, he having
served but one term. Thus far no
other candidates have been announced
for the position, and it is quite gener-
ally conceded that Mr. Hart will he
accorded the honor. of another term
without opposition. The election. is
to be made by a caucus of the Iowa
delegates to the national convention
which is held at the time of meeting of
the convention. Mr.. Hart was first
elected at the last national convention
in Philadelphia in 1900, During his
four years on the national committe,
Mr.. Hart has we'll represented the in
terests of the Iowa republicans and
has taken prominent part in the
councils of the national party leaders,
by all of whom he is highly esteemed.
II also am strongly in favor of the
nomination of Senator Fairbanks for
vice president if Cummfns, Shaw or
Dolliver do not enter the race, - de-
clared Congressman Walter /. Smith
yesterday. Senator Fairbanks will
make an admirable candidate. How
ever, have not heard of the result of
a conference which'I understand Sen
ators Fairbanks and ,Beveridge and
Gov. Durbin, all of Indiana, were to
have relative to which one should be-
come the candidate from that state for
the republican presidential nomina-
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1903-12-03

Democracy is apparently at sea as
to whom it should nominate for the
presidency, with the convention only
about six months away. Hearst,
Mcclellan, German and Cockrell
constitute poor field to choose from
according to republican view. They
must name man who can carry
several doubtful northern states or
they have no show to win. The south
is theirs with any candidate.

LARGE AS LAKE ERIE.
Little Known Body of Water In VIM
nipeg In Region Rich In
Minerals.

Lake Winnipeg, or "The Muddy Wa
ter" is quite large sheet of water,
being about 300 miles in length and 60
in width, or about as large as Lake
Erie. One solitary schooner OF some
so tons burthen is all the vessel that
sails over its broad surface, if we ex-
cept the bark canoes of the voyageurs.
The sail vessel belongs to the Hudson
Bay Fur company, and is employed in
transporting furs and supplies on
their way to and from the Hudson bay,
the chief factory of the company.
Little is known of the great north
ern lake, with its solitary vessel and
its limited business; it is what Lake
Superior was to the world some rs
years ago, and it is not unreasonable
to suppose that as in the case of this
lake unknown resources and unfor-
seen circumstances will in rs years
more surround its shores with civili-
cation and cover its waters with steam
and sail vessels. That it is a region
rich in minerals there is no doubt,
from the testimony of many travellers.
The time may come, says the Winni-
peg Globe, when Lake Superior will be
only the, halfway place for business
and travel to the northwest.

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency Of medical science is to-
waid preventive measures. The beet
thought of the world ls being given to the
subject. 1t is easier and better to prevent
than to cure. 1t has been fully demon
strated that pneumonia, one of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men have
to contend with, can be prevented by the
use of Chamberlain Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from a cold or
from an attack of influenza (grip), and it
has been obse, we'd that this remedy coun-
teracts any tendency of these diseases to-
ward pneumonia. This has been fully
proven in many thousands of cases in
Which this remedy has been used during
the great prevalence of colds and grip i'll
recent years, and can be relied upon with
implicit confidence. Pneumonia often re-
suits from a slight cold when no danger is
apprehended until it is suddenly discover
ed that there is fever and difficulty in
breathing and pains 10 the chest, then 1t
is announced that the patient has pneu-
monia. Be on the cafe side and take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon as
the cold is contracted. 1t always cures.

VIRTUE WAS REWARDED
An Ohio Boy Receives Large Howard
for Simple PoliteneaE and Free
dom from Vices.

Items telling how young men and
young women have been rewarded for
returning packages of money and bags
of diamonds with gifts varying from
one to five dollars have been so nu-
merous recently that the old adage
about virtue being its own reward has
been beautifully exemplified, accord
ing to the Milwaukee Sentinel. In the
face of many evidences of a lack of
generosity toward those who are truly
good, it is pleasant news that an Ohio
boy has received 81, 100 from a stranger
to whom he was polite.
The name of the fortunate boy is
Frank Provost. He is 10 years old,
and he drives delivery wagon. The
other day, when a man asked him for
a ride, he obligingly gave the unknown
a place on the seat beside him. When
the drive was ended the stranger in
yited the young man to take drink.
Frank refused. Next the tempter Of
fered chew of tobacco. This was de-
clined. Lastly cigar was used as a
bait. Frank was still adamant. Mod
estly he announced that he had none
of the common vices. In a few days
Frank received a check for $1,000 from
the stranger, who disclosed the fact
that he was a San Francisco million
aire, able to recognize virtue when he
found it. Up to last accounts Franks
head had not been turned by his sud
den good fortune. He had put his
money in bank and he was still driv-
ing a delivery wagon. In two years
he intends to start a business of his
own, and, if he does, of course, he will
become one of the money kings of the
future

STATE OR FEDERALsBANKS.

Il discussing the present banking system
of the United States the Richmond "News
l. .ader" recently put itself in what we
think very ridiculous attitude. 1t is
strong advocate of State banks and not in
SYM athy with the present national bank
ing system. The News Leader" Is
strongly of the opinion that the tax of ten
per cent. on State banks ought to be re-
moved, which would result in an abundant
and automatically self-sdjusting currency
system, Our contemporary suggests the
use of municipal and county bonds as q
basis, or security, for State bank circua'
tion." But shows its lack of faith in such
institutions by suggesting that these banks
be placed "under supervision of the FEEDER
oil government with proper requirements
for reserves and redemption funds"
This suggestion of Federal supervision
destroys every possible argument our es-
teemed contemporary can make in favor
OF State banks. The necessity for Federal
supervision necessarily implies lack Of
confidence in banking institutions that
derive their authority from States to issue
money under the supervision of the States
that create them. Besides, how can you
have State bank with Federal supervis
ions? The supervision would fix its
nature, and it would be National and not
State bank.
The position taken by the News Lead
er" would be more forceful and consistent,
if it would argue in favor of 30 changing
the National banking laws as to permit
banks to use municipal and county bonds
az a basis or security for their circulation.
