NEGRO posTmAs1ERs DOWN SOUTH.


President Roosevelt's determination
to "stick 1t out" after having appointed
q negro as postmaster in a Mississippi
Town is to be commended, since firm
ness of purpose is the one most neces-
sary quality in executive success, but it
may fairly be questioned whether the
president is acting wisely in making
the appointment in the first place. 1t is
true that theoretically he is correct. The
great mass of colored people living in
the south, often constituting three
fourths of the population Of a given
community. is a political force which is
untitled to recognition when the spoils
Of politics are passed around. Consid-.
cred from the standpoint of the colored
voters rights to a share in the spoils
the president is undoubtedly justified in
appointing negroes to Office in the south
more often than IN the north, but
viewed from the standpoint of the good
of the service, which ought to be the
governing motive with a president of
such a positive civil service reform rec
ord as the Roosevelt career, it would
seem that the p%ostoffice business could
best be transacted by officials whose
appointment would not incite their
community to riots in its indignation.
II the president were considering two
appointees for an office in Iowa, both
equally competent, but one for some
reason violently opposed by a consid-
cradle faction OF the community to be
served, he would always select the man
whose appointment would create the
least disturbance. This is the situation
that prevails in the south. Negroes
make no objection to receiving mail
from white postmasters-they expect 1t
while the southern white, unreasona-
BE as he unquestionably is, will move
cut of the county before he will receive
mail from black hands, altho his babies
thrive on nourishment from black
breasts. It is not fair criticism to ask
why the president does not appoint
negroes to Office in h north, for he
does. and the black population Is IN
such a minority as rot to deserve so
much political recognition as in the
south. However, public opinion in the
north inclines to the view that the eie-
,,otion of the black race is not aided
greatly nor party strength encouraged
by the presidents attempts to force ne
white people of h south to swallow
Sheir race rrejudices of past centuries.

HAms1lRneInG RECIPROCITY.

And now Senator Lodge proposes a
compromise whereby the differences
existing between eastern and western
senators regarding reciprocity may be
adjusted. In substance his plan pro-
vides for ascertaining thru an investi-
cation to be Made by the senate finance
committee what We're the maximum
and minimum tariffs contemplated in
the Dingley tariff law and then the
delivery OF carte blanche authority to
the president of the United States to
apply the maximum rates on all goods
coming from countries that discrimin-
ate against our products with their
tariffs or the minimum rates whenever
said countries show us commercial ia
vors.
Since such strong men as William
Mckinley and Theodore Roosevelt have
occupied the white house 1t has be-
come quite the popular thing to carry
every knotty problem over there for
HSOlultOIs SO lOAS as SUCH ileI are
elected presidents the less the senate
has to do with the government the
better. undoubtedly. Political econo-
mists have long agreed that the ideal.
government among men is the absolute
monarchy SO long as the monarch is
both good and able, but experience
with the shortcomings Of the Individual
in this nj man power system in the
past has led to the establishment of
governments by the people themselves.
Hence, as a general policy, the senator's
proposition is an unsafe one. How
be president for six years more, pub
lie sentiment will not oppose Lodges
scheme. Before 1t is acted upon it
might be well to look carefully into
the composition and color Of that SEN
ate finance committee. 1t seems to the
average citizen that reciprocity treat
les negotiated by a direct representa-
tive OF President Mckinley, endorsed
by him and sem to the senate for
ratification and then again endorsed
by President Roosevelt had received
sufficiently definite executive approval
to leave no uncertainty as to what
would be done with the schedules II
left to the presidents will. Unless the
senate finance committee believes it
competent to hamstringing the whole
reciprocity scheme why leave the APP
.plication OF maximum and minimum
schedules to executive discretion when
we have the Judgment and wishes OF
two presidents expressed in the Kas-
sol reciprocity treaties? Why not
ratify the treaties or at least let them
come to vote?

The Express has no patience with

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The race problem is thus disposed of
by the Denison Review: Senator Me-
Laurin rises to declare that the peo-
pie OF I%ndianoia, Miss, who made life
unsafe for their postmistress, because
she was colored and a white man want
ed the job, are 'high-toned. refined and
law abiding In the face of the facts
it will take more than the word Of the
senator from Mississippi to prove the
statement"
The LeMars Sentinel has some fault
to find with the situation that allows
the Standard oil monopoly to extort its
millions from the public. 1t says:
Whom did the Standard oil trust not
rob to make this fresh s1%,250,O00?
There Is nobody that was exempt but it
is the millions Of poor who are robbed
the most, because having the least to
lose. 1t was the robbery of compete
tors for years by lawiess railroad re-
bates that placed the oil monopoly in
a position of such supreme command
of the market that it can now rob the
people right and left"
The .Montezuma Democrat grows
facetious in the following: 1.-The pres

The N%orthwood Anchor editor, who

the Cedar Rapids Republican really
does believe that trusts and combina-
lions have no effect on the prices of

An E,nneror,. strange Fancy


Strange fancies have taken hold ct
some men regarding the manner in
which their bodies were to be disposed
of after death and the ceremonies to be
observed at their funerals.
The great Emperor Charles v. had
the curious idea of celebrating his wv
funeral. Shortly before his death he
caused a tomb to be made in the chapel
of the monastery of Estremadura. to
which he had retired after his abdica-
ton. and on it's completion he was car
ried to it us though dead. Placed in a
coffin and accompanied by a process
sion, he was borne along. while chants
were sung, prayers said and tears shed.
After the solemn farce was over he
was left alone in the chapel, where he
remained a short time before rising
out of the coffin.

pi.located Her Shoulder.

Mrs. Johanna Soderholm. Of Fergus
Falls, Mimi, fell and ~dislocated her
shoulder. She had a surgeon get it
back in place as soon as possible, but
1t was quite sore and panied her very
much. Her son mentioned that he had
seer Chamberlain's Pain Balm adver-
tised for sprains and soreness, and she
asked him to buy her a bottle OF 1t,
which he did. It quickly relieved her
and enabled her to sleep. which h had
not done for several days. The son
was so much pleased with the relief 1t
gave his mother that he has since
recommended 1t to many others. For

RECIPROCITY is ORTHODOX.

[1owa City Citizen.1
In his address Senator Dolliver, while
only speaking to the n point, inci-
dentally endorsed reciprocity and the
regulation Of tariff schedules by means
of reciprocal trade relations. This is
distasteful to a large number of the
eastern senators and taking their cue
from this stand some westerners have
likewise given aid to them. While the
extent of such trade relations Is to be
quences to be s recipe
governed by conditions and conces-
to be secured at the same time
there is no question but hat SUI ac-
ton will result beneficially. Blaine
thought it would, Mckinley thought SO
too and Roosevelt is OF he same opin-
lon. Certainly the devotion OF these
men to protection and It's principles
cannot be questioned no more can be
that of Senator Dolliver.
With the confirmation OF the Cuban
sugar treaty will come a more complete
understanding between the leaders Of
the different factions.
A dispatch states that the opponents
to reciprocity are now endeavoring to
compromise Senator Dolliver. This,
however, they will have a hard time
doing. He is too we'll known as a man
of integrity, firm and determined pur-
pose. The inference sought to be drawn
from what he said was that all Of the
schedules of the bill We're made high.
This is not true, and he made no such
statement. All that he said bore d.
rectly upon the sugar schedule. He is
backed up in this not only by the stem
ographic report of the address but ike
wise by others who were either mem
bers of the calnmitte or were clerks and
have records of what were said and
done.
