AFTER STUDENTS.

The students of the state university
at Iowa City have effected an organi-
cation for the purpose of making a
vigorous campaign during the summer
months for new students. The move
ment was brought into being during
the enthusiasm among the attendants
at the university last winter when the
state legislature was considering the
affairs of the school with a view to de-
termining the appropriation that
should be made to further its work.
The students now at the university
are being organized into county clubs.
During the summer months they will
endeavor to make thorough canvass
of their county with the hope of get
ting large number of young people,
who contemplate attending college
next year, to go to the university This
is commendable move. When body
of students becomes sufficiently en-
Unused to organize and carry out such
a campaign in the interest of their
school, it is an excellent indication
that the affairs of the school are be-
ing we'll managed 1t bespeaks large
growth in the attendance at our state
university and enlarged success.

A PATRIOTIC MEAS.
l1DE

In speaking Of the effort of import
ers to secure a lower tariff Gunton's
magazine for May calls attention to
the fact that the New York Evening
Post is trying it's best to induce them
to enter a vigorous campaign for pro-
lection of their interests, which it says
must come from low instead of high
tariff duties.' If a man is in foreign
trade says the Post, his interests all
lie in the direction of increasing the
imports of the country; high tariff
is of necessity a grievance to him. y
Regarding this proposition Gunton's
remarks: "Of course it is. Anything
that promotes domestic manufacture
is a grievance to him, because he
wants to supply the American people
with foreign goods. The importers
care nothing about the industrial de-
velopment Of the country. All they
care about is selling goods that are
made abroad. They are the least pa
triotic persons in the country. Their
interests and their influence are gen
orally arrayed against any policy in
the interest Of domestic industry"
The reasonableness of this PROPOSE
ton can readily be seen by every
American citizen, for the more these
importers bring into the United States
the larger are their profits. They
would gladly. if possible supply all the
wants of this people with products
from abroad. The American policy
of protection is more patriotic declares

prove eff1cacious in time of war. 1t
was stated in recent issue Of the
Hartford Courant that the Japanese
army had done much, being Differed
by the old warrior class, which now
wears modern uniforms in place of
the old clumsy arrnor of forty years
ago. The fighting class which consti-
tuted the main strength of this class
of yore as in the present day, have not
failed their country in it's time of need.
Certain it is, that the victory on land
following the victories on sea, has
come as most pleasant surprise to
all their sympathizers in the present
conflict. One of the more recent
novels of the fanciful class, in telling
of the planet Mars, draws a picture Of
a certain class trained to war in that
martial world. This force has become
by the time of which the story tells, a
tremendous power in the battle line,
from years of development
and special training. The outlook last
year published an article on West
Point, in which it spoke of the fellow
feeling between father and son, which
was lacking if one or the other was
not graduate of the famous military
academy.
The battle of the Yalu was one of
the great battles of modern times. The
courage shown on both sides of the
river was the soul of heroism. And the
winners may owe much to the special
corps of warriors trained for genera
tions before this, for the heavy work
of war.

Gunton and in explaining this propo-
sition he says: 1T is true that protec-
ton is too often inspired by political
considerations and sometimes by per-
sonal interests; yet with all its defects
Its purpose is to aid and encourage
everything that makes for the de-
velopment of the industrial welfare of
the country. That is patriotism, even
If 1t sometimes be misguided. Any
policy that would give foreign trade
preference over domestic is definitely
unpatriotic and is entitled to no spe-
cial consideration from the govern
ment." What true picture of the pur-
pose of American protection is given
In the foregoing. 1t says, American
necessities should be supplied by
American products, made by American
workmen. to whom are paid American
wages. The policy of protection is es-
sentially patriotic and it will continue
to be kept in force by the American
people.

THE MoLTkE OF JAPAN.

The Maltke of Japan-a man whose
name is rarely heard, whose face is
never seen, and whose web Is spinning
on all sides Of the Russian forces, as
was that of the illustrious Danish
strategist when he locked Napoleon in
Sedan" such is General Fukushima,
Is described by Mr.. Poultney Bigelow
In an interesting article in the current
Harper's Weekly. Mr.. Bigelow met
Fukushima while the latter was mill
tary attache at the German court, a
few years before the Chinese Japanese
war, and he tells several anecdotes il
Illustrating the shrewdness of the Jap
anese officer, who, while purposely
passing himself off as Of feeble mental
capacity, was keenly observant of
western military methods and prin-
ciples, which he was supposed to be
incapable of understanding. Although,
says Mr.. Bigelow, he spoke seven Ian
guages, he never allowed anyone to
suspect that he knew anything but a
few scraps Of German.
"Gutten morgen" would be the
greeting of the German general.
Fukushima would bow politely in
acknowledgement.
The general: Tell me, my dear Fl-
kushima, how long would it take you
in Japan to mobolize an army corps
and land in Corea y
Fukushima: Thank you, Herr
General, my health is very good"
Russia also despised his Intellect,
for he was permitted to ride unmolest-
ed across Siberia, from Moscow to the
Manchurian coast, counting telegraph
poles and taking notes of the position
of the bridges, wells, farms and every
thing that would prove interesting to
Japanese visitors who might come
after him.

If AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED.

The things that can't be done are
growing fewer.
Not so many years ago mile-a-min-
ute trains were impossible. Now they
are common and we are confidently
awaiting transportation at two hun
dred miles an hour.
If telegraphic messages can be sent
across the world without wires what Is
impossible?
If Mr.. Tesla had said: at can't be
DONE" he never would have done 1t.
He never would have tried.
Once upon a time man wrote TO
his friend: "I'm in the hole and you've
just got to help me out or I'm stuck
The friend replied: Sorry | can't
help you, but if you're in hole that
you can't get out of, I'm coming to see
the hole--it must be wonder.
oh. yes, he got out. But according
to ali theory and reason he should not
have been able to do it.
1t was one of the things that couldn't
be done and if he believed it couldn't
he wouldn't.
If a thing looks as if it can't be done
look again.
Try.

Those congressman who have had
battle with Colonel "Pete'' Hepburn
in the forensic arena of the house and
have been the object of his sarcasm
and repartee, have learned to have a
care as to how they get into contro-
versy with the veteran Iowan. In his
famous speech in the last hours Of the
recent congress Colonel Hepburn paid
his compliments to Champ Clark of
Missouri. He referred to that mem
ber's classical attachments in the fol-
lowing humorous and sarcastic man
ner:
IF l could model myself upon the
gentleman. could improve all of my
speeches. I would make them in at

THIS sum has been more than Offset by
the arrivals from Japan. In this fea-
ture OF the financial market the Pana-
ma payment is one of the most i'm
portant elements. However, this tran
saction has been skillfully managed SO
as to disturb the international money
markets as little as possible. Paris
is in the need of gold at this time to
meet the decline in the values Of the
russian bonds and to provide for new
war loans. Both the Japanese and
RUSSIAN governments have begun to
borrow heavily and this is looked upon
as an important factor that will con-
tinue until the war is ended. Regard
ing the effect of this on our markets
Mr.. Ciews says, sour own market has
been only Slightly affected by these
movements, owing to our large gold
supply and the lessened demands of
both trade and speculation as stated
above; but the placing of some
of these bonds here is a
significant movement and, if sue
cessful, likely to extend. An
other important factor in the local
money market just now is the finan-
cial operations connected with the
$30000,000 city bond sale,- with pay
ment for $20,00O,00O Of Telephone
notes and with winding up of the Steel
syndicate, etc. Evidently important
calls are likely to be made upon our
money market though the prospects
are for continued ease until crop de-
mands assert themselves"
Other factors in the financial market
receive little mention. Much depends
upon the coming harvest. Last year
we had short crops of cotton, wheat
and hay. Only big corn crop saved
us from more serious reaction. AS
it is, the west continues fairly pros
porous, the south is enjoying more &C
tivity than usual, and it is the east
that suffers most from reaction, the
curtailment of industrial operations be-
ing marked and persistent. Wall
Street Is facing two important uncer-
tainties-the crops and the elections.
In August we may be able to antici-
pate both with some certainty, but no
sooner. AS for the election, that prom
Uses to be less exciting and less dis
turbing than usual, with the tariff the
chief subject of controversy and con-
corning which little is likely to be DONE
Meanwhile, fluctuations in the stock
market will probably be confined to
moderate limits. There is a steady
demand for good investments when
prices are made attractive, the recent
city bond Offering being heavily over
subscribed, but the price not altogether
satisfactory to the authorities"

THE NERVES OF THE ROAD.

Few travellers realize what energy
and nerve are put into the labor that
makes their travel comfortable. Mr..
Spearman, in his article on "The
Nerves of the Road" in the May mag
azine number of The Outlook, likens
player. He writes:
"Yet the work of this marvel fixing
for moment the attention of the
world, is only the work of the train
dispatcher, who, sitting under his
night lamp, blind folded by four walls,
his right hand on the key and his eye
fastened on the figures of train sheet'
forces his mind, when other men are
asleep, to visulize the long, winding
miles of his division-its trains, it's

and stations, Its semaphores and
switches. At twenty points in the
darkness Of his night, and depending

men and women whose waking rests
with him alone. The man is no gen
Jus; he Is the plain, everyday Ameri-
can that one meets in the street car
or in the crowd. He cannot choose
his days for playing his games; he
plays every day from 8 a. m. TILL p.

takes his transfer at midnight and slts
In his chair through the last of the
watches of the night. He cannot play
twenty games and rest; he must for
eight hours be ready steadily for ev-

not load up with coffee or with strong
cigars for the strain Of one night, be-
cause he must meet the same condi-
lions on the next night and on every
night. No one marvels concerning
him; no one coddles him mo one pays
any attention whatever to him, until,
after perhaps a thousand or five thou
sand such nights successfully passed,
he makes one night a mistake, a fatal
mistake, and from those people who
themselves never forgot anything a
cry for vengeance goes up. Other men
may make mistakes; not the dispatch

THE TRIBUTES TO CANNON.

st. Louis Globe Democrat.-Mr. Can
non is being the recipient of unusual
honors. The testimonial to him by the
unanimous vote Of the house at the
close of the session few days ago
was the most cordial ever extended to
a presiding officer Of that body. De-
mands that he accept the vice presi-
Dental candidacy are being voiced SO
widely by representative republicans
that he ought to feel very highly COM
plimented, even If he is personally OPP
posed to accepting the candidacy. He
has probably a larger number of poll
teal friends among all parties than
had any Of his predecessors as speaker,
even though they included such popu-
lar persons as Clay. Banks, Blaine,
Randall, Carlisle and Reed.
Undoubtedly President Roosevelt
would be glad to secure Speaker Cam
non as a running mate this year. This
desire has been made plain several
times recently. The speaker himself
knows this. But he is anxious to re-
main In the house, where he doubtless
believes he could be more useful than
he could be as presiding officer Of
the other chamber. One of Clay's
early biographers said that Clay left
the senate for the house because he
dislilSed the solemn stiffness Of the
former body, and because he believed
he would find larger field for distinc-
ton in the popular chamber. He went
to the speakership on the first day of
his service in the house, and remained
in that office for about ten years in the
aggregate.
But the office of speaker in Cannen's
time carries with it far more prestige
than it did in Clay's age. The presid-
ing officer of the house In these days
is really the second officer in the gov
eminent. In some respects he has
more power than the president. Mr..
Cannon is one of the most genial and
likable men who has held that post.
He is democratic, fair to his party OPP
ponents, and approachable by every
body, whether a member of congress
or not. There was nothing artificial
about the praise given to him at the
close of the session by Williams of
Mississippi the democratic leader of
the house Every democrat in that
chamber subscribed to this eulogy
heartily. Speaker Cannon ought to be
proud of the tribute to his intelligence
and fairness which was extended to
him by his party antagonists. Wheth-
err he will be drafted into the vice
presidency is something that cannot
be determined yet, but If he is, that
office will have a decidedly worthy,
able and popular incumbent.

TRIBUTE TO HANNA

On Friday last the first meeting of
the National Civic Federation since
the death of it's president, Marcus A.
Hanna, was held in New York. At that
time the members of that body took 90
casion to express their. sorrow and
sense of loss at the death of that dis
tinguished man, who had given untir-
ing zeal and energy to the work Of
the federation and had ranked it as
the most patriotic legacy he could be-
queath to humanity" The sentiment
expressed by the members of the feder-
alton will find echo in the hearts Of
the American people.
can all wise Providence has called
from the activities of this world Mar
Gus A. Hanna, who was the president
of the National Civic federation since
December, 1901. His lamented death
was personal bereavement to us, his
colleagues, in this body, and the re-
moval of a strong and earnest leader
lit its work.
Resolved, That the National Civic
federation mourns the departure Of a
m emDer, who, as it's official head,
through his untiring energy, conspic-
uous ability and conscientious devotion,
conveyed to the public mind the mes
sage of mutual confidence and respect,
of equity and cooperation in the rela-
tions between labor and capital: who
had chosen the promotion of that pur-
pose as the browning work Of his life,
ranking it above all other ambitions
and regarding a share in its accom-
plishment as the most patriotic legacy
he could bequeath to humanity. whose
training in business and whose knowl-
edge of public affairs has endowed him
with peculiar fitness to carry forward
the work of this organization, through
his intimate relations with both en-
ployer and employed. Whose quality of
sincerity conveyed the irresistible con-
viction Of the profound and lofty mo-
tive that inspires his Jealous devotion
to the high purpose of the federation.
Resolved, That his associates and
fellow workers here record their sin
cere appreciation of the far-seeing and
kindly sagacity, the rare and discern
ing Judgment and the brilliant and
earnest leadership displayed by Mr..
Hanna as the president of the National
Civic federation.
Resolved, That we, in the knowl-
edge Of the conservation Of head and
heart of our late president to work
reason and sympathy, hereby pledge
our continued and loyal devotion to
the great cause which his intelligent
perception and humane personality
were forceful in forwarding"

A BIRD in HAND.

Lincoln Journal.--In states like Iowa
where there is nothing doing in the
democratic party except to walk up to
the polls for slaughter once year or
so, the advent Of Willie Hearst am
bassador loaded up with $1,000 bills is
an event of Importance and there is
little doubt about the issue. The DEM
ocratic statesmen of Iowa are hungry
and they have tasted for a long time
That Iowa should go for Hearst Is one
of the most natural things in the
world. Nebraska will doubtless follow
suit. A. bird in the hand this spring
is worth two in the bush next fall,
when it is very doubtful If solitary
feather will be flushed when you get
to the bush,
