FEDERAL COURT LOCATION.

A telegram to the Burlington Hawk
Eye in a recent edition announced the
filing of petition in the federal court
asking that the Hotel Keokuk in thai
city be declared bankrupt. In Itself
this is of little interest to the the PEG
pie Of Ottumwa, but there is
question affected thereby that
that is of considerable import
ance to Ottumwans and the peo
pie of the entire federal judicial
district. 1t is the location of the fed
eral court. This is matter that has
received attention from time to time
but until the present there has been
nothing done looking toward change
in the location Of this court Just why
the federal court for the southeastern
district of Iowa should be located
in keokull has never been satisfactory
lily explained. The fact is there is nc
good reason therefor, and no more is
there good reason why it's removal
to Ottumwa would not be of benefit to
the people of the entire district.
The location of the court in Keo
kuk shows an anomalous condition
Not only is it absurd to have it located
away down in the extreme southeast
corner Of the district. in fact almost
down in Missouri. but it is extremely
inconvenient of access. There is
scarcely a city in the district that can,
not be reached with greater facility
from other parts of the district than
Keokuk.
Ottumwa should have this court by
all natural reasons. 1t is near the cen
ter of the district and with it's four
railroads is easy of access from all di-
rections. The train service on these
roads makes it possible for people to
reach this city at all times of the day
or night. The members of the bar and
those specially interested in this mat
ter should give it special attention. A
vigorous effort in this direction can
do no harm and it n ght result in Sc
curing the removal of the federal
court to this city. Now is the time for
action.

MISREPRESENTATION CONCERN
ING OHIO.

Burlington Hawk Eye.-A demo-
cratic telegram from Washington
says: Senator Foraker suspects that
he is being made a victim of double
dealing" This is in reference to the
Ohio situation. AS a news item it is
unimportant. AS statement it is
undoubtedly untrue. AS a democratic
campaign material it is sample Of
the tactics to which the press of that
party is resorting-misrepre
and transformation. The situation in
Ohio Is not strained. There is. little
real friction between Senators Fora
ker and Hanna. Both men are sup
porting Roosevelt and will exert their
influence toward his election. The
to the senate by the largest majority
ever given senatorial candidate,
should put at rest any doubts as to
the unitedness of Ohio so far as Han
ma is concerned. and the further fact
that Mr.. Foraker is one of the most
popular senators among the Ohio
people whom that state has ever sent
to Washington ought to disqualify any
democratic statement that there is a
bitter fractional feeling against him in
his state.
The fact of the matter is that Ohio
is a big solid republican state which
will always be true to the ideals of
republicanism and will continue to re-
turn monster plurality for the lead
er of that party.
The democratic papers and corre-
spondents who are attempting to show
that there is an irreconcilable rupture
in the Ohio republican ranks, are bas-
ing their statement, on untruth purely
for the purpose of political effect, and
the republican papers which are aid
ing and abetting this scheme by their
mischievous comments and special
news publications are .short-sighted
and of DSOr pOlitiraI ind p,nant

AS TO ELIMINATING BRYAN.

Lincoln .Journal.-The washington
Post. with much concern for the flu
ture Of the democratic party, Is some
what feazed by Colonel Bryan's gauge
OF battle at the Lincoln banquet, but
advises the democrats to meet 1t with
all it's fighting paraphernalia and
eliminate Bryan" and his popuIistic
doctrines from the political landscape.
Well. that's easy enough advice, APP
parently. but still there are doubts in
the minds of some of the leaders as
to the outcome of war of elimina-
ton When the colonel takes the
stump the chances are that he will
draw pretty large audiences.

ances of either of these great leaders
any other definition for their kind of
reciprocity than an agreement be-
tween our own nation and another ma
ton by which we admit, free of duty,
certain articles which we need, but
cannot raise or produce in our own
country; and in return the other ma
ton admits to its ports, free of duty,
certain articles which we produce, and
which they need but cannot produce
If, in addition to this they feel in
clined to admit free of duty, articles
which they can produce, that is their
business. But nations that select dip
lomats to negotiate treaties, seldom
select men SO stupid as to enter into
one-sided bargain of that kind For
tunately for our own country, this I'M
businesslike proposition is made only
by those who seek to promulgate free
trade in the name of reciprocity, and
the most striking example of this
pseudo-reciprocity is found in the trea-
ty with Canada. negotiated by dem
ocratic free trade administration in
1854 and abrogated by republican adj
ministrations in 1866. because of it's
unfair advantages in favor of Canada.
They bought nothing from us that they
could buy from England and sold us
nothing but what we could produce
ourselves.
1t now remains for those who favor
reciprocity with Canada in natural pro-
ducts to explain to tile American
farmer what agricultural product Can
ada produces that is not produced and
surplus of the same shipped abroad
by the farmers of this country. II

LET US HAVE ALLISON.

There are a few papers in the state
that have expressed doubt about
Senator Allison caring to accept a
place on the Iowa delegation to the re-
publican national convention. Their
reason has been that the senior senator
from the Hawkeye state might not con-
slider it much of an honor to be named
as one of the delegates at large.
Where these papers have gotten such
an erroneous idea is not known. and it
appears that such opinions are en-
tirely unfounded. Speaking of this
matter, the Burlington Hawk-Eye says:
1t would be a mistake to assume
that Senator Allison would not regard
dt as a special honor to be a delegate
at large to the republican national
convention. 1t has been many years
since he served in that capacity; in
deed, we do not now recall the time
when, If ever, he was delegate. 1t
goes without saying that he will be a
commanding figure in the great gath
ering at Chicago next June. He will
voice Iowa republicanism as no other
man can do. When he speaks, and
when he counsels, it will be felt by the
assembled republicans from all the
oIclCos Iuflt uO lCpI CoCh0o CAS ulllLSu
party of his own state, man whom
all Iowans delight to honor and one
whose conservative counsels for a
third Of a century have been poten-
tials in guiding the party through
many, crises and to continuous victor
S3. With leader like Allison, a
man who twice has been Iowa's choice
for the presidency. the Hawkeye state
will have as predominating an influ-
ence in shaping the policies and des-
tiny of the. republican party as any
state in the union.
With Senator Allison at the head of
the Iowa delegation to Chicago all re-
publicans Of the state will be assur-
ed that the action taken at the nation
al convention will be the best for the
party. They will be assured that
Iowa will take an important part in
the deliberations of that body and that
the influence Of the Iowa delegates will
be used to the best interest of the par
.ty. 1T is useless to attempt to say that
Senator Allison would not be pleased
to have such a mark Of confidence
shown him by the people of Iowa as
placing him at the head of the delega-
tion. Let us have Senator Allison to
lead the forces at the coming national
republican convention.

LACEY ON THE TARIFF.

Abba Republican. - Congressman
Lacey made sensible speech on the
tariff question Thursday in which he
plainly showed that the Iowa farmer
could not afford to adopt Governor
Cummins' free trade policy with Cam
ada.
Some of the strong statements he
made We're as follows:
The solution of the trust question
is not to destroy capital but to con-
troll its operation"
The republican party has declared
in favor of reciprocity; republicans
heartily favor the theory, but they
want it of the kind that will recipro-
oate.''
1t has never yet been possible to
draw a reciprocity treaty with our
neighbor Canada that would be just to
ourselves. The difficulty is that they
are producers of the same things that
we are. They are rivals Of competi-
tors"
People make the markets. There
are fifteen persons in the United States
to one in Canada. 1t is proposed to
furnish Canada with S0.0O0,OOO of the
best consumers on earth in exchange
for 5,5O0,O0O."
prosperity of the American farmer,
in the hope of building up American
cities"
Mckinley defined reciprocity as
sensible trade arrangements which
viii not interrupt our home produce
ton. Roosevelt says it Is the hand
maiden of protection When we hear
free traders agitating reciprocity, we
may know that it is not of the hand
maiden variety"
The Wilson law was popular in
Canada"
Under former reciprocity with Cam
ada the balance of trade was against
us over $20,Oo0,O0O a year. Today
with tariff in both countries the bal
ance Is more than s7O,OOO,OOO in our
favor"
"The farmers Of the west have ia
Vored and do favor protection because
1t has preserved to them the home
market. and their products are con-
sumed by employed workmen of pro-
tected industries"
How can the Iowa farmer grow en-
thusiastic over the proposition to turr
over to Canada the market that Amer.
lean farmers now occupy, giving is ex.
change special advantages to a few
manufacturers"

RECIPROCITY AND PsEuDo-REcl
DPNNITN

The assertion is sometimes made
that republican leaders now in con
gress are opposed to reciprocity with
other nations. This is false assump
ton. Reciprocity which comes up tc
the republican standard is accepted as
a cardinal principle of the republican
party by every republican congress
man, either in the house or senate.
The fact is. there is a spurious doc
trine of reciprocity that in no sense
can be considered synonymous with
reciprocity as taught by James G.
Blaine and William Mckinley.
No man can deduct from the utter.
