"a HISTORIC PRECEDENT"

In another column under the head of
"a Historic Precedent, we present an
article from the Atlantic Constitution
regarding the Panama canal sitaation
The Constitution shows in this article
that the policy of the United States
throughout it's history has been one of
expansion with view to advancing
the cause of civilization. 1t particu-
larizes in the case of the acquisition
of Florida and reviews the acts of
President Monroe, Secretary Calhoun,
and General Andrew Jackson. The
three chief figures in the affair. There
was no charge of connivance with rev.
olution, such as is being made against
certain public men of today. 1t is in
teresting at this time to learn what
President Monroe, congress and the
people thought of the conquest of this
territory by General Jackson which re-
suited in its acquisition by the United
States. The article is well worth care
full perusal by every American citizen.
1t shows what the thought of the peo-
pie in other years were and indicates
that the action of the United States in
the Panama incident is not at all in
compatible Herewith.

NO PANIC IN SIGHT.

E. e. Hart of Council Bluffs. in an
MISUNDERSTANDING the financial
situation, New Workers don't fear a
panic. The idea that there must be
one as the apotheosis of the present
good times is not entertained at all
in the great financial center. New
Workers say that money will be much
easier in a short time-within thirty
days. They say there is an abundant
supply to meet all demands. Money
has been tighter than ordinarily but
1t has been owing to the legitimate
demands of business. The money that
is flowing in now in the natural course
of trade is even greater than the de-
mands. Gold imports from Europe
are steadily Increasing. This condition
has entirely eliminated the panic idea.
Business is extremely good. The No
vember exports We're greater than any
other November in the nations his
tory. This will increase the geld i'm
ports from Europe and any financial
crisis would now be most difficult to be
brought about.

WHERE HAVE THE BILLIARDS.
GONE?

Britt Tribune.-Twenty years ago a
good tearing blizzard was due nearly
every week through January and
February, and occasionally in Decem-
Der or March they would come tearing
down from the northwestern a way
that would blind any unprotected eye
that attempted to face them. There
hasn't been regular old time blizzard
in the past ten years.
The numerous groves, fields of corn
stalks, fences with weed rows by the
side of them, are doubtless the agen-
cles that tend to break up the force
OF the blast and the sweep of the wind.
We have seen the air full of snow
hne as flour that would penetrate
through the sides of the house un-
der the shingles, and through the key
holes.
About 1883 or 1884 there came a De-
cember blizzard that was the worst one
experienced here for years. The
prairie had not burned off III the early
fall as usual, but after the ground froze
some one set it on fire over near the
Des Moines river one afternoon. The
whole west half of Hancock county
and east part of kossuth was a sheet
of blaze all the afternoon with but
little wind blowing, but along toward
night the wind came up and it com
menced to snow. The grass burned
right through the snow storm for more
than an hour, but finally died out and
then began blizzard ofsnow and
ashes that all will remember who saw
it--or felt il ratheI--for it was itnpos-
sible to see anything With the eyes full
of I've and snow. Quails and birds of all
kinds sought the shelter of the groves

mighty power in the affairs of the
world. Its influence has, in every in
stance, been used on the side of peace
and progress, along lines which must
lead to better and a higher civiliza-

half century ago. 1t has always
been American to the core, has foster

American principles. In its ranks have
been many of the ablest statesmen the

from the working classes, the wage
