Boone, Oct. 31.-The first days pro-
gram OF the Epworth League conven-
ton was a strong and practical one. An
hour in the afternoon was given up to
four talks on the Forward Movement
in Iowa Methodism." First. Need" by
d. G. Dutton. of McGregor; second,

looa; third, Methods Rev. Dr. Nc
keig, Sioux City; fourth, Results
Rev. Guild, Grace church, Des Moines.
This was followed by talk on "Deac-
oness Work." by Miss Laura Davis, of
the Bidwell Deaconess' Home, Des
Moines. Then came The Deaconess a
Soul Winner" by Miss Mary Crawford.
The afternoon meeting was closed by
an evangelistic hour. the leader being
Miss Iva May Durham, deaconess at
st. Louis, Mo. The talks on THE For
ward Movement of Iowa Methodism,"
formed what is perhaps the strongest
practical feature of the program.
The first thing on the afternoons
program, was the conference caucusses.
Each of the four Iowa conferences. the
Upper Iowa, Iowa, Northwest Iowa
and Des Moines. met separately and
each chose ten representative delegates
for the electoral commission. This
commission Of forty met at O'clock,
and animated the new state officers.
Today it made it's report to the con-
vention. This report was accepted by
that body. A convention has never
been known to refuse to ratify the
report OF an electoral commission. This
manner of election saves time and does
away with eiectioneering and possible
hard feelings. The system, however.
renders it difficult to prophesy who the
new officer will be. According to es-
tablished precedent the presidency goes
in rotation to each of the conferences.
This years president is of the Des
Moines conference. For next year it was
the turn OF the Northwest Iowa con-
ference, hence the new presiding Off
Ger nominated by the commission was
from that conference. The four vice
presidents are chosen one from each
the commission or the cab
met arranging the order of precedence
of the four. Following are the officers
chosen:
President-George F. Whitfield, of
Ruthven. Iowa.
Vice Presidents-W c. Tackaberry,

! Des Moines. Oct. 31.--A great deal ol
the present political campaign has been
fought out on the question Of the re-
vision of the tariff with relation to the
markets of the world and especially
with regard to the policy of reciproc-
ity as a complement to the protection
principle. An interesting addition to
this discussion came today in the form
of letter from Albert w. Swain, for
merly of Oskaloosa now consul at
Southampton. written to Gov. A. 3.
Cummins Mr.. Swain in this letter
says:
You need not think you have mon
opoly of all the republican meetings
| cause .you haven't On the evening OF
October s, after a very good dinner
with appetites to fit. there was family
republican meeting held In my den
Haslemere house-Where by the good
favor Of Mr.. Piper l had the pleasure
OF addressing the meeting by reading
aloud all of your opening speech In
Des Moines barracks, and the same was
received with applause, repeated and
continued. More especially with favor
was that portion received which treat
ed of reciprocity, and in which you
have taken the right view and the, one
which we as country must adopt II we
would hold or increase our trade be-
yond our own back yards. For years
was believer in the doctrine as laid
down by the great Blaine in this mat
ter. My years in South America as
consul, looking up our trade advantages
chiefly disadvantages-and noting
how our general trade competitors were
doing on these lines, made me more
of convert to that doctrine than ever
before; and 1t seemed to me that only
sheer blindness to our own best and
lasting interests could either delay or
defeat the concerning of the real prac-
teal establishment Of reciprocal re-
lations with our brethren in South
America, to say nothing of wider
field. OF that end of the continent l do
and as business
man-and l know that we should do
more than 10 per cent Of the exports to
those countries-the percentage in av-
erage that we do now-but which we
can only increase by action OF the kind
covered by mutual and reciprocal trade
arrangements. All the European ma
tons are doing this in that section. In
one way or another they get there
and they do it at the expense CONNER
cially Of those who are so cocksure that
they know 1t all and do not need to
follow even tho the game shows up
successfully l am a protectionist Of no
recent date, but I believe that proper
reciprocity is absolutely the safety and
salvation Of the real doctrine of pro-
lection, and the quicker we see this
point the better for Us in many ways.
Such, at least, Is my opinion, and the
present discussion In England is only
an evidence that others beside our
selves are doing some thinking on the
matter. Later on they will do more
than think. 1t is time that we were
found on the same line"

Baker City. Ore, Feb. ia letter
has been received by F. l. Moore of
this city, from r H Newell, chief en-
gineer of the. United States geological
survey at Washington, which is of con-
siderable Importance TO all of the arid
land states that are expecting govern
ment aid in the matter of irrigation.
Mr.. Newell says that it would be de-
sirable for the people of Oregon to unite
as in other states, and call to the at
tentiOn of the secretary of the interior
certain important projects which. in
their opinion, are worthy Ofsconsidera-
ton, pointing out the one or two in
the state which might be considered as
of pre- eminent Importance.
This version Of the departments at
titude in regard to government aid of
irrigation in the arid states upsets a
number of well laid plans. and is di-
rectly opposed to the action of the Ore
gOn state irrigation convention at Port
land last November when. acting as
they supposed in. harmony with the
wishes of Mr. Newell, the delegation
refused to commend any particular ir-
rigatiOn scheme TO the department. but
left the matter for each county to make

Sirable-
