A FAIRBANKS IMPRESSION.

BY the time today's issue of an ev-
ening paper has reached It's reader
Senator Fairbanks will have practically
completed his triangular tour across
the state OF Iowa. In this state, per-
haps, more than any other in the union,
the politicians have felt no public in
terest in politics. yet the Fairbanks
party has been greeted everywhere with
tremendous crowds, and at Marshall
town with an overflow meeting which
crowded its hall beyond capacity the
Same as did the main rally. There is
at least interest in the candidate for the
vice pres dency, if none in the argu-
ments of the contending parties.
And the impression made by Fair
banks was Of benefit to the party he re-
presents. 1t won votes for the Roose-
velt- Fairbanks ticket. Mr.. Fairbanks
had been pictured and reported and
cartooned as q human icicle, q man
without heat in his manner toward
OtnGF men dilu no one Iittu luauS hily
claims for him as speaker. But the
PEOPLE Of Iowa who saw and heard him
yesterday and today were pleased to
find him polished and graceful speak
err with something to say to them,
which he said in manner worthy of
an orator. When he shed his coat at
the Marsha lltown overflow meeting
and proceeded to shake hands with 600
people at almost 100 per minute, all
doubt as to his human interest disap-
peared.
The peculiar result of the Fairbanks
tour in tho west has been the talk it
has excited among politicians of Fair
banks as a presidential possibility in
1908. 1t has not been the American
custom TO promote the vice presidents
to the presidency, except as accident
made the succession necessary but
wherever Fairbanks goes he leaves the
politicians talking Of 1908. There must
be something about him that impresses
one of his presidential size or is it
that the politicians must talk about
the presidency and seize upon the first
man that measures to a possibility?

WERE THEY RUSSIAN SUBMARINES?

The wrcclling of a train yesterday
supposedly by Russian section hands
who presumed that boats constituting
Il portion of its freight were destined
for Japan, may have been a play into
Japanese hands instead of a blow at
the Nipponese. 1t has been stated by an
eastern Journal that at several ship
yards in the United States submarine
boats are being built for Russia. Pos

Japs will seize them on the high seas.
The submarines are first sent to Rus

railroad to Vladivostok. There Is no
evidence that the submarine has been
used at all in this war, altho the Rus
SLAMS might have employed them sue

fifty boats Of this type are being built

UNSAFE SOUTHERN MouTHPlEcEs.

1t is a pity that such men as Con-
gresham Flehin who in speech at
Tuskegee, Ala, the site of the Booker
7. Washington school, prattled an in
situation o. his power to have Wash
ington lynched and preached assassi-
nation Of President Roosevelt, as mo
great harm to the country" should
continue to misrepresent the south.
Taken to task and repudiated by the
better political element and reputable
newspapers Of his section, he says he
was joking when he palliated assas-
sination of the president, but stands
firmly to his avowed intention to mob
Booker T. Washington, should he
presume to take part In the congress
sional campaign.
1t Is we'll enough for the reputable
democrats of the south to repudiate
such utterances, but so long as they
keep such men as Hef1in in high office
the protestations will not be taken SER
iously. Behind Helms braggadocio is
the power to make his scoundrelly
threat good He could find the men
to mob Washington.
For more than two years local
lecture association has endeavored to
secure a date from Booker T. Wash
ington at almost any price, but the
demand for the great negro has been
SO insistent and his bookings so far
ahead that a date has been simply
unobtainable. He is not chautauqua
and county fair sensation, but a great
lecturer, with vast demand upon his
services, teacher to be sought and
listened to. When the Yukon library
recently opened in Alaska put in it's
list Of books the name of Booker T.
Washington stood high in the list Of
authors. He is not a curiosity, but a
man with an active executive brain,
capable of erasping the needs Of two
races, pre- minent as a thinker, g.

gospel Of might in his teachings. He
breaches the decalogue of decency, in
dustry and patience to his own race,
and pleads for the approval of the
other. He is known to nations. No
one knew Hef1in existed until$ he
threatened greater men.
1t is an utrage on free government
that a man like this should be threat
ened with mob violence by one of the
Heflin stripe as a consequence of
activity in selecting the congressman
who is to represent him and his race
in national councils If there is q
man in the south fit to vote and advise
others it g Booker #. Washington.
He has proven his fitness as the Var
damans, Tilimans and Hef1ins have
their unfitness for any OF the duties
of government.

STOP TRYING THE sL,FER CASE.

Writing from Eldora, a subscriber
desires the Times-Republican to
comment upon certain features Of the
Slifer case, recently tried and decided
at Grundy Center, which appear to the
subscriber to have been manipulated
in favor of the defendant. This is
one Of several protests, and requests,
received from partisans for both the
prosecution and defense.
This paper is not inclined to try
the case over. 1t attempted to give an
Unbiased account Of the proceedings IN
court and has no interest in the case
outside the common desire of all good
citizens to see justice done. A jury
of his peers tried William Sitter for
the murder of his wife and decided
that he was innocent Of the crime of
which he was accused. The T.-R. does
not assume to go beyond the verdict.
Every trial in cases like the one
under consideration creates a division
in neighborhoods. The neighbors line
up on one side or the other. Doubtless
there are those utterly unconvinced Of
Slifer's innocence. But it would be
better If the neighbors ceased trying
the case over. The man has been in
jeopardy of his life, has successfully
defended himself and a jury of twelve
men has set him free, and acquitted
him before the world. There the case
should rest. TO question the verdict
is to question the honor of the jury
and the integrity of the court.
