when we read in the daily press that
this or that congressman is about to re-
turn to his district to take part in fac
tional fights, We are reioiced that the
10th District OF Iowa has a congress
man who attends to his own business.
and who does not dee. it congress
ional duty to impose personal factonal
views upon his consistents. Judge
Conner has teadfastly maintained that
his was an Office apart from state poll
ties, and that there was no right nor
necessity for him to inquire as to the
specific brand of his friends republic
canism. This policy has made him
many friends. He is now candidate
for denomination on his own merits
aud upon his record. not as leader of
faction, but as congressman. We be-
lieve there will wisely be nc attempt
made on his part to control the policy
of the district along factional affairs.

SHAW TALKS ON BOYS.
The Secretary ofthe Treasury Says Boys
Do Not Get Their Deserts

In talk on Boys" before the Y. NJ.
G. A. in Washing tonrecently Secretary
Shaw said:
VI think that most of us have been
boys and those of Us that have watched
the boy will have found and recognized
that he is, all things considered, the
most valuable thing on this earth. The
boy is worth more than any other
creature that treads the earth; yet
more than any other being in the world,
/ think, there is less place for him.
Now. don't misunderstood me: he is
less welcome anywhere than others;
there are less kind words for him than
for any body else. lam not saying that
the lad measures up to the standard
OF the girls life. will grant you that
we are raising much better type of
young women than we are young men
But we are. none the less. interested
in the young man, and none the less
interested in the boy. From morning
till night it is stop it, and don't do
this aud don't do that and don't
come in here with your muddy feet
There is no place for him. and it is
time to fiud place for the boy, and
this is the only reason am here. He
never sees much OF his father. All he
sees is other boys and some most ex.
cellent and competent women teachers.
but you cannot rear man without
bringing boy in contact with other
meE. That is what the family is for.
The children should be brought into
the world and left to the mother to
rear is the darkest error. The boy
should come in contact with both his
father and his mother

THE MISSISSIPPI IDEA.

The governor of Mississippi has an
nonnced.that education is the curse OF
the negro race AS the Register and
Leader points out, there has never been
8 time when the oligarchy class
es--d;d not feel that the education OF
the masses was dangerous thing Ii
the people of any country are to be dl-
yided into distinct classes. the govern
ing and the governed. we admit that
the wider the gulf. the more easily viii
the under clnss be controlled. Educa-
ton makes for equality, and to this the
whites of Mississippi are distinctly OPP
posed. Education gives to the Cypress
ed more poignant sense OF his oppres-
zion In this way, it is true, it arouses
discomfort among the governed. The
trouble is that we approach the ques
ton from radically different view
points. The Southern governor sees
in the negro. only an inferior. an AMI
ma, to be domesticated If p-ss BILE, TO be
controlled at all events. Our view
point Is that the negro is co.Amer-
lean with us all. That he belongs to
the governing claes. That he is part
ner in the great American democracy.
and that 1t is to our interest that the
partners shall be as intelligent and as
we'll informed as possible.
Given the governors premise, that
the negro is simply beast of the field,
and he is undoubtedly right In his con-
clusion. We drive our horses with
binders, but If we have man In the
seat driving with US, we want him to be
able to see the road. After all, the
governor Of Mississippi has produced
nothing new or startling. Before the
war IL was criminal offense to teach
slave to read or write.
In truth, however. we are not taken
with the ''Mississippi idea.

DISCUSSION VS. VlTuPERATlON'

The REVIEW wants it distinctly un-
derstood that it is not aligned with
those papers that seek to make capital
by pitching into Blythe We have
known Mr.. Blythe for many years, and
we know him to e broad m .nded
man, who keeps his word, and one who
never turns his back on friend or foe.
In ct, he is much the same kind OF
q man as Gov. Cummins. 1t seems
that these two brainy men have differ
emit views as to the policy of the repub-
lican party. Both declare themselves
for Roosevelt; both declare themselves
for protection. Mr.. Blythe, we pre-
sumo, although we have never seen his
exact opinion quoted. believes, that
although the tariff schedules are not
sacred. they should not be lowered ex-
eept where it is proven that they are
too high, and afford a greater degree
Of protection than is necessary.
Mr.. Cummins holds that it is poss-
ible by the means of we'll advised re-
sip:ocity treaties to extend American
commerce, and that in arranging such
treaties non-competition products alone
proven that the reduction of tariff
chedule-although operating disaster
ously TO some individual interest would
benefit their interests still more large
ly, the reduction should be made
We think this is fair statement of
both sides of the Iowa controversy. 1t
is controversy, surely, that can be
carried on along broad lines. With an
issue so we'll defined there is no excuse
for personalities; no excuse for rebub l.
cans to line up for Bly, the, or for Cum
mins-per Sc.
Both men appear to have taken de-
C ded stand for that which they think
right, for this we can admire them.
Some of their followers would make
this an occasion for bitter personal at
tack: for this we have nothing but con-
tempt
The papers that are vlelng in the
use of epithet and pointed para
graphs" Of personal spite, might be
much better employed in.discussing the
real question at .ssue-and for the sake
of .the self-rcspect of the republicans
of Iowa it is 10 be hoped that the issue
is something larger than the personal
dominance or ambition of any two men.
Let the Blythe press stop hinging
mud, ard go to quoting facts and fig
ures to prove that the governor is
wrong: let the Cummins press follow
like course, and we can have a cam
paign OF education for Iowa republic
cans that will amount to something.
The course now being pursued can lead
to nothing better than Des Moines

frederick Louis Meyers, son of Post
master f, W. Meyers of Denison. Iowa,
is remarkably precocious youth, as
the little fellows Iowa City admirers
happen to know. by virtue of many
bits of evidences introduced during his
visits here, at the home of his aunt Miss
Eda Louis. Recently, however. the
boy broke all records. 1t was during
the gala Yule tide. 1t was, in fact the
night before Christmas, and he had
been told to go to bed. ere Sir Santa
appeared upon the scene. Arrayed in
snowy pajalnas. the little fellow sat at
the glowing fireside awaiting the final
peremptory call. Suddenly his penslve
countenance becama cloudy, and then
the rain fell. AS he wept, his mother
approached him and said chidi- gly:
why, didn't think you would cry
like baby, just because you had to go
to bed early" Whereupon Frederick
Louis, looking up, with an indignant
frown breaking through the tears, ex-
claimed: II amt cryin' COZ I've got to
go to bed. I'm cryiu' coz'you and papa
did't invite me to your weddin.'

Arrives From the Philippines After a
Voyage Of 35 DAYS. Is on FurIOugh.

Mr.. c. X. Schafer, who has been in
Cavite. P. l., the past year and half,
returned to Denison on last Friday
evening. He was ordered to report in
Washington, but will report from Dem
ison by letter. He has been in the
government service for some twoycars,
and is now taking his first vacation.
He says it seems rather odd to have to
jump into an overeoat after spending a
year or more in u climate where over
coats are unknown.
During his stay in Cavite he has en-
joyed good health, and liked his work
very much, but would not like to make
a permanent home there. His many
Crawford county friends are glad that
heis home once again, and trust that his
work may not call him so great dis
tance next time.

The Germania society has had the
inner doors of t opera house changed
and made into double door with
hinges, swinging toward the Office
door. This is great Improvement,
and we trust that the society will con-
tinue to make the opera house as free
from accident as possible. There
should still be another exit from the
gallery. Each year at the June grad
uating exercises the hall is crowded to
its capacity, and were fire to break
out, the catastrophe would be almost as
great as the Chicago horror. If the
city ordinances do not cover this par
ticular point an ordinance should at
once be passed regulating public build
ings of all kinds.

THE STORM. The most severe storm for
many years began here last Sunday after
noon with gentle rain that later developed
into down-pour, changing in the night to
snow. The snow was of the damp, sticky
Kind, and in sliding from slate roofs it
struck the ground with such force as to jar
the buildings. Many were aroused think
ing that another earthquake had arrived.
The wind blew gale in the early morning.
But little damage was done in this city and
vicinity. The weight of snow broke in the
skylight over the billiard room Of the Waldo
Club in Masonic Temple and one of the
tables was flooded, the water finding its
way through the ceiling at the rear of Swift
q PauPs store. The billboard on the oppo-
site side of the street between the lunch car
and the laundry was blown down, large
tree in front of the Baptist church was
felled, and many trees suffered the loss of
limbs. Some of the electric and telephone
wires were blown down and the service in
terrupted for time. No damage was done
on the water front. About three inches of
snow fell and sleigh bells were heard early
Monday morning for the first time this sea-
son. Runners were used Tuesday although
the sun had melted the snow so that it could
hardly be called good sleighing. The storm
was much more severe to the westward. the
wind on the Massachusetts coast attaining
velocity of IS miles an hour. Many wrecks
are reported. Telephone, telegraph and
trolley poles were blown down, and tele-
graphic communication was cut off from
Washington, d. c., and between all the
Southern and Western States and New
York city. In some cities the fall of snow
was sufficient to block traffic. The property
loss in the country is large.

STEAMER NOTES. The PenObscot came
on the route last week arriving here on her
first trip from Boston Nov. 9th. She takes
the place of the Ransom b. Fuller, which
has been assigned to the Portland and Bos-
ton route while the Governor Dingley re-
ceives a general Overhauling. On the re-
turn of the Dingley the Fuller will go to
Bath and haul up for the winter -. In re-
porting the partnership of Captains Ben
nett and Archibald and the placing Of the
Mineola on the Bucksport, Camden route,
the ROckland Star said: "It is said that
Capt. Archibald has acted the part of
peacemaker and that Daniel Kerst and
Capt. Bennett are likely to be associated
again in the same company" AS the story
is told here Capt. Archibald tried to act the
part of peacemaker, but failed. 1t is said
that he offered, if Bennett and Kerst would
settle their differences and work together
again, to let them have the Mineola this
winter free of charge and build them a
boat exactly suited to the route, which
they could pay for out of the earnings.
Capt. Bennett was willing to accept this
very liberal offer, but Mr.. Kerst declined
to do so. Capt. Archibald then made terms
with Capt. Bennett and put on the Mineola.
She is faster boat than the MerrycOneag
but has SO much freight at the different
landings that the latter occasionally gets
by her. It is thought that she may include
Castine in her landings, as Capt. Archibald
brings from Portland good deal of freight
for that place. The Portland Advertiser
reports that Mr.. Devereaux Of Castine, Of
the Bucksp0rt, Belfast and Camden steam
ship Co. was in that city last week In search
Of small boat to put on the route. He
wants to get small boat that he can run
for little expense, to cut down the fares be-
tween Rockland and Camden and to s'freeze
out" the Mine0la SO that it will be unprofit-
able for Capt. Bennett to run such large
craft. Another rumor has it that the East
ern Steamship Co. doesn't look with favor
upon the Steamboat war; as the reduced
fare and cut-throat freight rates take away
.. practically all its business between the way
landings. 1t is possible that the Eastern
20. may take hand and pnt on boat
much larger and faster than either now
running.
