THE LATE WIN. W. JuNklN.

Des Moines Capital: He owned
the Fairfield Ledger in whole or in
part for almost fifty years, having
bought a half interest May 26, 1853.
Fol a time Ralph Robinson, now of the
Newton Journal, was his partner, and
for many years one of his sons. Charles
M. Junkin, has been half owner and
practical manager of the paper. MIR.
Junk1n has been a model to the young.
ed editors and publishers of Iowa all
ways. He has been pointed to as a
man OF conscience and integrity. His
paper was noted for strong convictions
and the able advocacy of the same.
He believed in business integrity and
the honest and prompt payment of
debts. He despised liabilities, kept
his w debts. paid and expected all
VINO dealt with him to meet their liza
b1l1ties. He was q model business
man. and made model and exemplary
business men out of his sons by teach
ing them to save their earnings and
to invest them on their own account.
Years ago when Mrs. Junkin was alive
there was no more charming Preside
in all Iowa than the home of the de-
ceased at Fairfield. Who can reckon
the influence of the example set by
William Wallace Junkin! Along with
such men as James F. Wilson, he as
sisted in making Jefferson county and
southeastern Iowa what it is as to it's
people and its interests. He not only
leaves the community better off for his
having lived in it, but he leaves the
state better off. This is no exaggera-
ton, but simple truth. Such men as
the deceased have made. Iowa noted

BOOKER WASHINGTON ON NEGRO
QUESTION.

Booker T. Washington, the presi-
dent of the Tuskegee negro college
and the acknowledged leader of the
colored race in America. admits that
the race problem is a grave one
and IS daily becoming more pressing.
His conservative spirit, his knowI-
edge OF and sympathy with his race,
coupled as it is with our knowledge
OF the practical results of his labors
in behalf OF his people gives value to
his opinion.
According to Mr.. Washington the
path to independence and usefulness
for the negro lies along the line of fit
ting him, by education, honesty and
frugality to meet the conditions that
confront him. To accomplish this the
way is clear. Let judgment on the
part of the whites take the place OF
sentiment and prejudice in dealing
with the negro and a great step would
be made in the solution Of the whole
problem.
The time for fire, sword, shotgun
and lynchers' rope is past and cool
judgment should rule in their stead.
Mr.. Washington believes that the
subject car be submitted to arbitra-
ton, just as any other large problem
involving a difference of opinion. In
the close of a notable address, deliv-
cred in New York City recently, he
makes this appeal and suggestion.
Il cannot believe, / will not believe,
that a country that invites into it's
midst every type of European, from
the highest to the very dregs of the
earth, and gives these corners shelter,
protection and the highest encourage
ment, will refuse to accord the same
protection and encouragement to it's
black citizens. The negro seeks no
special privileges. All that he asks is
opportunity-that the same law which
is made by the white man and applied
to the n race be applied with equal
certainty and ~eXactness to the other.
"The age for settling great ques-
lions, either social or national, with
the shotgun, the torch and by lynch.
ings has passed. An appeal to such
methods is unworthy of either race.
| believe the time has come-and |
believe it is a perfectly practical thing
when a group of representative
southern white men and northern
white men and negroes should meet
and consider with the greatest calm
ness and business sagacity the whole
subject as viewed from every stand
point"

AMERICAN SAILOR AT PLAY.

Lieut.. Commander Gleaves in The
Worlds Work-But the sailors life is
not altogether one of hard work, and
on the whole he has a very good time.
Dancing, gymnastics, fencing, boxing
and boat racing fill his leisure hours.
His natural fondness for pets is prov
erbial, and there are few ships with
out a mascot, be it a goat, dog or Den
mis- the pig, which serves to tighten
the hours of the dull watches of the
the prowess of ships pets at night on
the forecastle, when the hammocks are
down and the pipes lighted. One man
spins a yarn of a cat that was born in
an old boiler, cruised 10000 miles In
one ship, established a great reputa-
ton as a fighter in all parts Of the
world, and finally ended his adventur-
Gus career on the coral reefs Of Samoa.
Another tells of a monkey without
ears or tail, with which he sailed the
China seas, whose fondness for liquid
paint produced periodical attacks of
blindness. Then there is a story of a
dissipated DOG who never lost an OPP
%portunity to get drunk and who always
recognized the bugle call for the gig
and invariably ran to the gangway
when it sounded to go ashore in state
with the captain. But the best Of all
is the one of the pet bear who chased
a young officer up the mizzen rigging.
Fortunate indeed is the animal that
falls into the hands of a sailor.
"The sailor man has his vagaries,"
once said the present Bishop of Shang-
hal, over the coffin of a sailor who had
taken his own life, "but he is the ten
derest-hearted creature into which God
ever breathed the breath of life"

which no n wants to see repeated
in this city, no matter what the finan-
cial consideration. The typhoid cpl
demic in Ithaca is directly traceable to
the contamination of the public water
supply. In our ownIstate, the cities of
Muscatine and Burlington are expert
encing a typhoid epidemic, though in a
much milder form than that of the New
York city. Yet numerous deaths have
occurred in the Iowa cities and the
scourge is so severe as to cause much
alarm and determined action on the
part of the public.
The decisions of the courts have
brought Ottumwa face to face with a
most serious situation. In view of the
conditions now existing in this city, by
reason of these court decisions, we
cannot see how a franchise for a water
works can be given to any company,
either home or foreign with due re-
gard to the health of this city, that
does not contemplate and indeed, re-
quire an uninterrupted continuation of
the present water supply until the new
or enlarged system of waterworks are
ready for operation. The Courier has
no financial interest in any
water company, new or old, home or
foreign, but this paper has a very vital
interest in the health of the people of
Ottumwa and the public welfare of this
city. We take no stock whatever, in
a proposed system of baby waterworks
or a temporary pumping plant, that is
to pump sewer-laden water and dead
lyflth into our homes for fire protec-
ton and sanitary 81 purposes. The
Courier does not know that the old
water company will shut off the water
on the 2Sth day of March. Some citi-
zens say they will, some say they will
not. We do not know what the legal
rights of the city, or the water com
pany are in this matter. But we are
thoroughly convinced that this city
cannot safely attempt to get along with
a temporary water supply pumped
from below the city sewers for months
and probably years until a new sys-
tenn of waterworks is constructed. We
most emphatically believe that the
health of the city is the paramount
consideration before which all mat
tiers of dollars or cents pale into utter
insignificance.

CAUSES EMBARRASSMENT.

The administration has been placed
the delay of the senate in ratifying the
Colombian canal treaty. Last week.
Secretary Of State Hay cabled to the
authorities of the canal company that
the United States would accept the
option on the property at $40,000,000.
This step was justified by the expecta-
ton that it would keep in force the
option, which otherwise expiring could
not have again been secured except at
an advanced figure.
Recently William Nelson Cromwell
representative in the United States for
the French company, was in confer
ence with Attorney General Knox.
There is good ground for the belief
that Mr.. Cromwell asked that the Unit
ed States in pursuance to its formal
acceptance of the option, pay to the
French company, the $4,000, 900, Or at
least a good portion of it. In lieu of
this payment it is intimated that Mr..
Cromwell gave, the attorney general to
understand, that offers from private
capital, either American or European
would not be considered.
1t is this attitude taken by the com
pany and the position of the canal
treaty in the United States senate that
is causing the embarrassment to the adj
ministration. 1t now seems almost as
sured that the canal treaty will be ra-
TILED by the senate before the adj
journment. March 4, though as long
as the treaty is held up there is a pos
sibihty that the Panama route ma be
rejected and the Nicaraguan route sub
stltuted for it. The situation is ex-
ceedingly acute. 1t will demand the
most careful handling and a large
amount of patience to bring the nego-
tiatiohs to a satisfactory conclusion.
Whatever the result, the administra-
ton is prepared to let the world know
that it will not tolerate the building Of
the canal by any foreign nations, and
it is to be hoped that the republican
senators who have been made cogniz-
ant with the exact status of affairs
will be able to effect the ratification
of the treaty.

VALUE OF THE LOUISIANA PUR.
CHASE.

George Chandler of Usage, a gen.
tleman with a financial turn of mind,
has advanced a queer proposition. He
asks whether the Louisiana purchase,
considered as a land deal or specula-
ton, has proved profitable. The Lou
isiana purchase cost in 1903 from one
and two-thirds to two and one-half
cents an acre; he estimates that land
to pay a reasonable interest should
double in value each ten years. In
1903, or one hundred years from the
purchase, he says the land should be
worth $26.50 on an average, and Mr.
Chandler says he does not believe it
would sell for that at the present time.
Therefore it was not a good invest
ment.
1t would not be profitable to enter
into a controversy with such a man on
such a subject: he is blind to every
thing else but the idea of interest.
which has no significance in this case.
He takes no account of the great
growth of the republic-the millions
OF dollars worth of products that have
been garnered from the lands of the
great purchase and the millions of hap.
ply homes that have been created. His
proposition is not only absurd, but it
is not entirely patriotic to give such
a sordid interest bearing turn to a
great national movement that has
added billions of dollars to the national
wealth. Let him apply his interest
tables to the objects that are far be.
low the magnificent conception in
volved in the purchase of Louisiana
for fifteen million dollars.
1t is probable that Mr.. Chandler is
only indulging in a little Juggling with
figures and is not at all in earnest in
the proposition he presents so gravely,
but it is not edifying or instructive.

LINCOLN AND THE NEGRO VOTE.

New York Sun: The Rev. Mr.. Con-
way and other correspondents have an
undoubted right to suppose that if
Abraham Lincoln had lived longer he
might have reversed his earlier opin-
ion as to the hopelessness of social
and political equality between the
white citizens of the United States
and the negroes. But no evidence of
such a change in his views has yet
been presented to us.
The last of Lincoln with
regard to the future of the emancipat-
ed race was for the ratification of the
thirteenth amendment, which put the
abolition OF slavery into the constitu-
tion. That and the perfect restora-
ton of the Union of states were the
great objects which occupied his mind
during the last few months of his life.
The fourteenth amendment, which
made the negroes citizens of the Unit
ed States, was not proposed by con-
e,ress until he had been dead more
than a year. The fifteenth amend
ment, declaring that the right of citi-
Gems to vote should not be abridged
on account of race, color or previous
condition of servitude, was not pro-
posed by congress until Abraham Lin
coin had been dead nearly four years.
A correspondent favored us the 9TH
Ell day with a copy of a letter said to
have been written by Mr.. Lincoln in
March, 1854, to the Union governor of
Louisiana, wherein the president sug-
gested the idea that some of the me-
groes, ''as, for instance, the very in
telligent, and especially those who
have fought CALAMITY in our ranks"
might with advantage be "let in" to
the election franchise.
Mr.. Conway and our other friends
will see at a glance that this tenta-

INDIAN PROVERBS.

Charles Gibson the Indian sage, in
the Eufaula Journal says:
"A big warrior does not always drive
center with his arrows. A small war
rior can drive center and to ones vi
tails.
"a cross, fractions man needs to go
on a hunt and stay in the mountains
till his system is cleansed of all i'm
purities.
Don't kick or abuse a dog. You
don't know but what you will be q dog
yourself after death.
Women should not talk at council
because they are women n not men.
Men go to battle, women never.
"If the Great Spirit had intended
women to go to battle and make
speeches He would have made them all
men.
AN Indian can hear better from the
front, his ears being set further for
ward than any othe race. A negro
hears better from the real on account
of his ears being set back further than
any other race. A white man can hear
from any direction on account of his
ears being placed in the center of his
head.
THE white man and the Indian both
work in a field. The white man as
soon al he bitches up his team to a
pillow begins stating what a pile of mon
ey he will make at the gathering seas
on and forgets his weariness until
night. The Indian runs to the house
after a drink of water or to see how
his arrows are seasoning all day long,
letting his team rest. The negro gets
more rest than either, having more
sense than the others. He keeps quiet
and rests his mind and body until he
sees the boss whom he is always look
ing for when not asleep"

democrats have made known their po-
sition in favor of the act. Senator
Morgan alone, a life long friend of
the Nicaraguan route, has stood out in
opposition. In the face of the fact that
the obstruction heretofore offered by
the statehood bill has been withdrawn
it is not. improbable that the position
Of some of the democrats members
may be changed on the canal and reci-
procity measures.
To ensure the passage of these bills
the support of a considerable number
of the democrats will be required.
Should they persist in their opposition
and the treaties fail in their passage
an extra session Of congress follow, it
is evident that the responsibility must
rest with the democrats.
