Wapello county, Mr.. Buchanan was
one OF the most substantial and active
members of the last legislature.
Speaking of his work the Carroll pa
per says:
Hon. A. w. Buchanan of Wapello
county has won the lasting gratitude
of the friends of the state college at
Ames for the staunch support he gave
1T in the past session of the legisla-
ture. He was member of the spe-
cial committee appointed to investi-
gate the affairs and report upon its
needs. He informed himself most
thoroughly on the subject and sue
ceeded in securing for the institution
generous recognition at the hands of
the appropriation committee. The
Wapello representative is one of the
substantial members of the legislature
and we are glad to see our old county
given the fine recognition it has re.
ceived in all important matters under
his leadership"

OUR DUTY IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Secretary of War Taft probably
better than any other man in the Unit
ed States knows the conditions that
exist in the Philippine islands and is
able to judge as to the course to be
pursued In the government of the
archipelago. Recently in an address
before the New York Chamber of
Commerce, Mr.. Taft spoke on the Con
ditions in the Philippines" In the
course of his remarks he said: eff we
abandon the islands we shall turn in
dividual liberty to reign of misrule
and political liberty would be at an
end. Ny experience and that of 9TH
ers is that to have turned over the is
lands to the followers of Aguinaldo
would have plunged them into con-
dition Of political choas. Ninety per
cent of the people are ignorant and un-
able to exercise political control 1t
will take more than one generation to
educate the masses. My own idea of
the policy of administration, he said
will be indorsed by the people of the
United States regardless of expense" !"
The above is indicative of the pur-
pose of the American people and gov
ernment in the work that is being pro-
mulgated in the eastern islands. Good
government must be established and
until this is done and until the Fill
pinos are sufficiently educated to prop
erly conduct such a government them
selves the American republic has a
duty in those islands Secretary Taft's
statement of the case is entirely right.

FROM THE scAFFoLD TO HEAVEN

Cedar Rapids Republican,: The re-
demption of the thief upon the cross
has long been one of the notable in
cidents in the career of Jesus. 1t IL
lustrated most graphically his Won
drous charity and mercy. But that
incident has been the excuse for any
amount of maudlin demonstration that
is disgusting and that only.
The thief on the cross was undoubt-
edly genuine in his appeal for mercy.
All the circumstances point that way.
But majority Of the murderers in
these days go to the scaffold singing
hymns and chanting prayers. are 80
many cringing towards who have
never been genuinely repentant for a
single instant.
Two of the car barn bandits who
were executed Friday made a grees
show of religion during their last days
on earth. They We're busy giving
away trosaries and crucifixes and
prayer books, filing the blank pages
Of the latter with maudlin sentiment.
None Of this appeals to sensible men.
Such lives as these bandits lived can
not be atoned for a day or two before
their legal snuffing out and certainly
no good end is served by telling people
that such wretches as these can &c
straight from the scafford into unend-
ing felicity.

in THE SERVICE OF KING CORN.

Des Moines Register and Leader
An extra stalk of sound corn in every
corn hill In Iowa this year means mil
lions of dollars to the state. 1t is in
view Of this fact that the money value
of Prof. Holden's flying trip can be es-
timated. During the coming two
weeks, and until the planting season
begins, he will devote his time to i'm
pressing upon corn growers the i'm
portance of that extra stalk of sound
corn.
A great deal has been said about the
appropriations made by the legislature.
One ear Of good corn extra to the hill
will more than pay them all. While
one ear less than usual, owing to care
lessness In securing seed. will tax the
people more than all their public ac-
tivities. 1t Is not the man who makes
two blades Of grass grow in place of
one In Iowa, but the man who makes
two ears Of corn to grow in place Of
one who Is the ideal benefactor. Prof.
Holden has already done great work
by educating the farmers to a realiza-
ton Of the Importance Of the one ex-
ira sound stalk of corn in the hill.
His present tour will do much to en-
phaslze his previous efforts, for it's
spectacular features will be noised
abroad and will attract an at
tention to his suggestions, that many
reiterations Of them in the ordinary
way would not secure.

THE ALASKAN PURCHASE.

There is no question in the minds of
the American people of the present
day that the action of Secretary Sew
ard in purchasing the territory of
Alaska has been amply vindicated by
the development of that country since
the period of its transfer. 1t should
be remembered that at the time of this
purchase the criticism of Mr.. Seward
was so severe that in the light of sub
sequent developments it becomes
amusing. In commenting on this mat
ter the Council Bluffs Nonpareil has
the following interesting information:
When Secretary Seward purchased
Alaska for $7,200,0O0 he was accus-
ed by the faultinders of that time
with foolishly squandering that
amount of money in useless rocks and
.ce." There was considerable opposi-
ton to the purchase but Seward look
ed upon it as bargain and he went
ahead and closed the deal. But
strange as it may appear, it was a
wise investment. Since the United
States secured the title to Alaska, that
country has yielded more than $780,
100000 in gold. furs and fish, while
In the meantlme consuming SlOO ,000,-
900 worth Of goods and food purchased
in the United States. The fish caught
in Alaskan waters in 1903 sold for S8,-
000,000 nearly $1,000,000 more than
the original cost Of that territory. Dur
ing the same year we received from
the territory s10,22s,064 in merchan-
disc and s4,719,579 in gold.
But to still further. show the value
of the purchase 1t appears that the
coldest Of our possessions Is to contrib
ute largely to keeping us warm. Re-
Gently great deposits of coal have
been discovered. which are said to be
almost exhaustless. Possibly Sec
retary Seward did not fully realize or
even dream of the vast resources of
that territory when he was dickering
with Russia for its purchase and 1t is

FAVOR H. L. WATERMAN,

Since the endorsement of Hon. H.
l.. Waterman for delegate to the ma
tional convention from the sixth dis
trict, by the republicans of Wapello
county last Saturday, republican pa
pers in all parts of the district have TAX
en- occasion to commend this action. Mr..
Waterman has wide acquaintance in
the district and the mention of his
name for national delegate gives it's
people the assurance that their desire
to see President Roosevelt nominated
will be faithfully and effectively serv-
ed. None of the other counties in
lie sixth district have as yet held their
conventions, but from the expressions
OF the papers it is certain that Mr.. Wa
teIman's name will be received with
favor. The Wapello county delega-
tion will go into the district caucus at
Des Moines on May Is championing
Mr.. Waterman's candidacy and expect
ing that nc will be named as one of the
republicans from the sixth district to
go to Chicago in June to assist in NOM
mating Roosevelt and adopting a plat
form on which the campaign this year
will be waged.

THE OPEN SHOP

The Railway Age quotes Grand Chief
Stone OF the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers In an address at Fort
Worth, as strongly in favor OF the open
shop. Standing as firm believer in
union labor and the right of laboring
men to organize" he declared that
Whom an organization compels man
to join it against his will it interferes
with the personal liberty guaranteed
him by the Constitution of the United
States. The railway orders, he said,
stand head and shoulders above all
labor organizations, for they have the
open shop On almost every road
in the country we work side by side
with men who do not belong to our
orders. No man is forced to join us.
We try to show him how he would be
benefited by belonging to us, and
where his interests are, but we never
say to him to join us or you cannot
earn an honest living by working here.
l do not believe any man ever made a
good member in any organization who
was forced to join it against his will,
Ior the chances are that when the op-
portunity offers he will prove traitor
and betray you"
Coming from such a man as Mr..
Stone the above statement should re-
ceive the attentive consideration of all
union men. 1t will be to the advan-
tage Of every labor organization if this
question is given proper consideration
and is wisely decided. 1t has to do
with the strength of the union Many
unionists have in their own minds
questioned the wisdom of compelling
man to join their organization, hold
ing that whenever one does so against
his wishes he weakens the strength of
the organization. Whereas if the ad-
vantages that will accrue to him from
such action are sufficient he will not
long delay affiliation.

lioernen exclusively. not at all poll

There will be. no favored contractors
and no unparalleled contractors who do

The selection and election of gen
uine business man .'by the votes of
business men and the more intelligent
and prosperous class of workingmen''
of Kansas City should induce the busl-
ness men and intelligent workingmen
of the other cities of the country to go
and do likewise. Good municipal gov
ernment will never be secured by any
of them so long as they elect predatory
politicians to offices of trust and re-
sponsibility. They know nothing and
want to know nothing of the principles
and methods of the world of business;
the venal policies and practices which
make the graft are better understood
and more generally employed by them.

GRAETlNG NERVES.

One of the marvels of the past quart
er OF century has been the wonderful
progress that has been made in medi-
cal sciences. This advance has, mark
ed all the various branches and espe-
cially that of surgery. One of the lat
est wonders in this development is the
grating OF nerves successfully done re-
Gently by Philadelphia surgeon. The
purpose of this operation was to cure
the palsy of young child. The dead
portion of the nerve on one side of the
leg was taken out and the rest of the
nerve was carried across and grated
onto the corresponding branch. This.
operation, said to have been highly sue
cessful, was conducted by Dr. James
K. Young, Of Philadelphia, concern
which the New York Sun has the fol-
lowing to say:
The operation occupied just ten
minutes, and only few drops of blood
were shed. The patient had suffered
no perceptible shock. A plaster cast
was placed about the child's leg. Then
began the tedious wait for the result,
which could mean SO much for the
child and for the surgical world at
large.
about month after the operation
there gathered in one of the hospital
wards a number Of representative sur
geons. They had been told of the ex-
pertinent, and were anxious to see it's
result. Carefully the case was cut
loose,the bandages removed.
Move your foot, little one,' said DR..
Young.
Slowly but surely the foot obeyed
the impulse of its owner, moved back
and forth where before it had lain
helpless. The child has continued to
gain strength until now there is no
longer a doubt that the grating of
those two tiny nerves has brought back
much of the retarded energy which
seemed to doom the affected member
to a life of inactivity. The foot will
probably never be quite so good as
the other, and DR.. Young claims only
partial success for the experiment, but
the result indicates that progress may
be made in this line

ENTERTAINMENT AT ST. LOUIS.

The ST. Louis Globe-Democrat is au-
thority for the statement that there
are accommodations in St.Louis for { :
200 more Worlds fair visitors than the
highest estimates of outside attend
ance. This the paper claims Ought
to put our minds at rest, regarding the
ability of the city to entertain the
millions of visitors it will have during
the coming year. The speed with
which the new Worlds fair hotels have
been erected during the past six
weeks is largely responsible for this
result, as is also the fact that more
than one-hslf of the families within
two miles of Forest park are offering
rooms for the use of the Worlds fair
visitors.
AS TO the rates, many of the hotels
are charging rs cents per day for
large parties of visitors. They will be
placed two in room. The almost
universal rate outside the large down
town hotels is now placed at 81 per
day while in many of the private resi-
dences rooms can be had for from so
to rs cents a day for each person
where two occupy a room.

MEXICO AND PRESIDENT DlAz.

by Lne chanSe IN the constitution Of
Mexico lengthening the presidential
term of six years. President Diaz will
be entitled to serve till 1910. Another
alteration creates the office of vice
president. This action will undoubt-
edly be pleasing to the friends of Mex
leo. Unquestionably it is a move in
the direction of safety as it will keep
on hand an officer of the government
of presidential possibilities and one
that in case of the death of the presi-
dent, will by law succeed to that Of
flee. While this change may be objec-
tionable to some ambitious persons
in Mexico it is in the direction of safe
ty.
1t goes without saying that this
change, so long as Diaz holds the pres
idency, is in the interest of good gov

IN INTEREST OF HARMONY.

Sioux City Journal.-The republican
convention in Louisa county last Sat
urday adopted the following resolu-
ton:
1--WE commend the earnest efforts of
]. w. Blythe to heal all factional differ
ences and to promote harmony In the
republican ranks, and in furtherance OF
that spirit of harmony we recommend
that A. B. Cummins be named as one
Of the delegates at large to the national
convention in company with ]. w
Blythe, w. B. Allison and J. P. Dolli-
ver."
It is reported that the disposition OF
the convention was to cut out the
name Of Governor Cummins, and that
this would have been done but for the
efforts Of Hon. H. o. Weaver and other
well-known "stand patters:" II "har-
mony" is considered a good thing. Of
course action In the interest Of har-
mony ought not to be denied. No,
only should the harmony ticket be sup
ported, but the harmony platform
should also be accepted.

A RICH COUNTRY

The Cherokee nation situated in the
northern part of the Indian Territory
is one OF the richest sections in the
United States. 1t embraces about s.
031, 351 square acres. The last Off
cial report shows that the membership
rolls OF the tribe contain the names
OF 29,7S2 Indians whose claims of citi-
zenship have been allowed, and the
names of 14.412 Indians whose citizen
ship claims have not yet been determ-
ined or approved.
An agreement for abolishing tribal
relations and allotting lands in sever.
atty was made and ratified by the Cher.
olSees in 1902. BY the agreement each
Cherokee gets ITO acres of land. The
fee simple title to this land is lodged
absolutely in the holder but with GER
tain restrictions imposed for his pro-
lection. The forty acres selected as
a homestead is alienable and non-tax-
able during the lifetime of the allotee.
Furthermore, no lands can be sold or
taken to secure or satisfy debt until
able during the lifetime of the allottee.
lease his lands for a longer period than
one year for grazing purposes or for
more than five years for agricultural
purposes, or for any length of time for
mineral purposes, without the approval
OF the secretary of the interior.
The restrictions as to the making of
leases is subject of lively discussion
at present. The more advanced Indians
and the white men with money, or am.
bition to- make 1t, think these restric.
tions are impeding and retarding the
development Of the nation. To some
extent this contention is correct. Vast
mineral deposits and other valuable
natural resources have been discover.
ed in the Cherokee nation, and these
would undoubtedly attract hordes of
boomers and bona fide settlers, If Sc
cure and permanent titles could be got
at once. Around Bartlesville are prov.
ed oil fields which will eventually de-
velop into among the best in the west
On Spavinaw creek and it's tributaries
great deposits of lead and zinc have
been unearthed.
These are simply few examples of
the many opportunities in the Chero-
kee nation, Oil wells and mines are of
course, highly attractive to those who
want to get rich quick, but the biggest
money will unquestionably be made
along less tempting but safer lines of
investment.
