Following the rural mall routes and

yedan Press. I'VE are living in the age
of the greatest progress ever known.
The time is past when the village mer-
chant can point to the retired farmer
with scorn and say he is o detriment to
progress. The farmer has a hold upon
the long end of the string at present,
and if the wayside towns of the coun-
try are to stand any show in the race
of progress they must be up and doing,
and be prepared to push every interest
for the upbuilding of their community"
That's right" scolds the Tama Free
Press; "elect man because he has
business sense and then holler your
head off because your taxes cost you
$3.50 additional. That's the way to

The Waterloo Reporter, speaking of
the evasion In the payment of poll tax,
says: When q man reaches a point
where that condition is settled con-
viction, he is of little val',c in the COM

PETITION. NOT PROTEST.
Misapprehension Regarding appeal
to Cza-.Simon Wolf Explains.
TFRo1I rHE TRIBUNE BUREAU. !

Washington, July Much misap pprehension
regarding the petition to the Car in behalf OF
the Russian Jews IS corrected by Simon Wolf
whose influence at the State Department for
many years has been Of great benefit to Jews
throughout Europe The sheets of the petition,
which We're distributed to every city in the
United States are now being returned with
signatures of principal citizens. Christians as
well as Jews. TO Leo n. Levi, president of the
B'nai Birth. of New York. who will bind them
in book to be forwarded to St. Petersburg by
Secretary Hay.
The Petition has been enormously considered
by many persons as a protest or remOnstrance.
and as such an interference in Russian domestic
affairs. In reality Mr.. Wolf explains, it is
merely petition the part of the people Of
the United States respectfully asking the Car
to grant religious liberty TO his subjects. 1t Is
not d Jewish petition. he said but one repre-
senting all the people OF this country. In sup
port of this statement may be cited the closing
paragraph of the petition. which is as follows;
Far removed from your. majesty's dominionS,

Speaking of the opposition to the petition Mr..
Wolf said:
