OW the corporal first came to
the military hospital of San
Ramon has never been au-
thenticaIly recorded. Stories of his
coming vary. Some say he appeared
In streak of blue flame and a Whit
of sulphur smoke: others believe that
he simply dropped in to give the place
a bad reputation. There are some of
us who think it most probable that he
came TO renew previous acquaintance
with Pedro Querol.
Pedro was wounded and taken prfs-
oner in a skirmish some miles out of
San Ramon. Those of the boys who
found him crippled, with a shot
through both legs and hidden in a
bamboo hut, declare that they saw a
small black object disappear out of a
back window as they entered the door.
Later they heard that dry, hard cough
inside which they afterward came to
know as the corporaPs vocal express
sion of disapprovaI when things did
not please him.
Pedro was carried to this hospital
and put into our ward. He was a how
OF less than sixteen, and his mother up
In Cagayan should have spanked him
Mstead of letting him join the insur-
gent army.
1t was the morning after his arrival:
ne was sleeping quietly on the cot to
which the steward had assigned him.
The day was fine and the shell blinds
were thrown open to let in the fresh
Sreeze that swept down from the
mountains, just strong enough to rus
tie the bamboo tops and banana leaves
of the jungle that erept up almost to
{ the balconies. Most of us were awake
listening to the piping Of birds outside
and the drowsy hum Of insects.
Suddenly We were all startled bv a.
sound that did not chime in with the
low murmur of nature outside. It was
a brusque, rasping cough, almost a.
bark, but human enough to convince
those who heard it that 1T voiced the
discontent Of someone with things as
they were. We all raised our heads
end looked out to the ledge of the bal
cony outside the windows. That was
how we first saw him, and can vouch
that he was unaccompanied by blue
flame or sulphur smoke.
There be sat, a small, black faced
monkey, his feet cIutching the railing,
his small paws holding a huge banana,
so mellow that he had squashed most
of it over his face. Evidently it was
lHe StIckIneSS OF the panama winch
Vexed his SOUL for with another of his
hoarse grunts he flung the half-rotten
fruit in on our polished mahogany
floor, where it struck with a soggy
squash and made a nasty brown spot.
Next. he wiped his mouth with his
hairy arms, then wiped them and his
$ands on patients white shirt spread
Sut to dry on the balcony railing.
Having done this to his apparent sat-
fSf3 ctiO0 ho sat I'm and fOOl< in
his surroundings with quick investi-
eating eye. Then he gave a leap and
landed inside on top of the bedpost Of
the first sergeant of Company c. The
sergeant raised an emaciated hand as
a friendly greeting, but the little imp
on the bedpOst rudeIy disregarded the
advances and leaped on to the next
bed, where lay the wounded Filipino
boy who had been brought in the even-
Ing before
The jar of his landing awakened
Pedro. The monkey sat on the bed
ding before him, and the boys yellow
features spread out in sickly smile.

than any other that could be written
and tremendously adopted at the forth
coming state convention. 1t is one of
the instances where it is best to leave
Well enough alone and recall, as the
Sioux City Journal has done, the avow-
al of Senator Allison OF his position
toward the 1893 platform made before
the 1908 convention:
i have listened, as YOU all have, to
The platform reported by your com
mittee on resolutions, which embodies,
as YOU believe and as / believe, the
principles and policies of the repub
llcan party from the day of its birth
down TO the present moment; and that
party when ii abandons these great
Principles and policies will have no
longer any reason for its existence.
1t must be expected that If few Of
US gathered here today differ upon the
details as respects the application of
these policies, that when we come into
the assemblage of representative men
OF all the states of this nation, coming
as they do from the frozen regions of
the north to the sunny chimes of the
south, having each and all a diversifi-
cation of interests. conflicting more or
less, and more or less clashing, we shall
see differences; but when we come to
apply these policies we Will apply them
intelligently, taking care of the lust
rights of ourselves and also the Just
rights of all those with whom we are
associated in the great work of deal
ing with these great questions
Il endorse everything said in that
platform, not because it is there, who'll
~, but because / believe it to be sound
and just Dis respects the application of
the principles which the republican
party avows and adheres to.
Therefore, it is that ! shall expect to
do what l can properly TO promote the
policies which we have promulgated
here today

cREDlTAeLE RECORD.

The recent impeachment proceedings
Instituted against Judge Swayne OF
Florida, recalls the fact that only four
of all the other United States federal
Judges have been subjected to like
hurrliliation-certain credttahls
showing for that department of our
government. The first to be impeac1l-
ed was Judge Pickering Of the federal
court of New Hampshire. Profanity
and drunkenness were the charges
brought against him; he was convicted
March IL, 1908.
The second case was that OF Samuel
Chase. justice OF the United States
supreme court. on the charge OF arbi-
trary conduct. The charges We're aet
sustained, however and on No.
1906 he was acquitted.
In 1880 occurred the acquittal of
fudge James II. Peck, of the district
court Of Missouri. who was to answer
the charges of arbitrary conduct ana
profanity The fourth case was thai
of Judge West III. Humphreys, district
Judge for the district of Tennessee.
Judge Humphreys was then serving in
8 the confederate army, and was con-
victed OF treason in January. 1862.
When the nature of the charges pre-
ferred and the conditions and circurn-
stances of these trials are considered,
this is a most rema rkable record. The
accusations brought in two of the In
stances resulting nearly as much from
misfortune as from fault. In the case
Of Humphreys the proceedings We're
only a matter of form. as his enlistment
in the Southern army was virtual
resignation.
In the present case Judge Swayne Is
certain of an impartial hearing. Parti-
san influences will have little effect as
ii will require a two-thirds vote of the
entire senate to effect conviction

CLOSING THE GAP.

The supreme court of the United
States has recently handed down a de-
cision which viii be of interest to low
ans.
The case was thar of Granville Rip
pey indicted under the Texas law for
selling liquors over a bar in small
amount as forbidden by the statute.
Rippey's contention was that the Texas
law contravened this, provisions of the
federal constitution in the methods
1t authorized the local officials to emf
ploy, being, as he alleged, a practical
deprivation of his liberty and property
without due process of law. The de-
cision was against him on every point
The court held that the power of the
state over traffic in liquor is absolute
and cannot be questioned or interfered
with by federal legislation nor by ac-
ton of the federal courts. Rippey's APP
peal from the state supreme court was,
in consequence dismissed.
The case Is or interest TO iowa III
dts bearing on tho Hepburn Dolliver
bill now pending. and which, if-it be-
comes law, will prohibit the carrying of
liquor into states the laws of which
prohibit it's sale The Hepburn-Dollt-
yer bill covers the gap made by the
decision against the enforcement of
Eosmer Iowa legislation as interfering
with interstate commerce. The Rip
pey decision gives absolute control of
the liquor traffic to the state under its
laws for the regulation or prohibition
Of the trade and is one of the most
broad and comprehensive rendered on
the question in years.

THE IOWA PLATFORM.
rnnhia1tl icin1nS

The newspaper Representatives of the
gentlemen who call themselves stand
patters object to reaffirrnatdon of the
Iowa platform of 1908 hardly on ac-
count of anything it contains but rath-
Ell because it is susceptible of various
interpretations and has been variously
interpreted.
This is novel ground on which to OPP
pose the platform of a dominant politi-
cal party. The republican party of
this country has never adopted plat
form to which the same objection
could not have been offered
No objection is made specifically to
the platform of 1903. The language it
contains that should not be there is
mott pointed out. In fact when 1t was
agreed upon at a peace conference last
wear prior to the state convention
newspapers which now asssail 1T were
the very first to declare 1T a document
thoroughly acceptable ITO the stand
patters. They searched it for a trace
OF the Iowa idea and declared they
could find none. In the Compromise"
they triumphantly explained, the
governor had sacrificed everything
Such comment became SO abundant as
TO give rise to the report that the gov
ernor, having concluded that he had
been taken i,h WAS esttlng ready to re-

form this year. The fact as regards
that platform likely is that. with free
dom of Interpretation. IL is generally
satisfactory 10 the republicans of the
state. There was hardly a ripple of
dissent from it in last years campaign.
1t was expressed in general terms, as
all platforms should be. AS we UNDER
stand it the stand pat" republicans q
Iowa are not opposed TO reciprocity.
They were for Cuban reciprocity GER
tainly, to meet specific situation.
They are for it on general principles.
Reciprocity is a trade. Everybody be-
ieyes in trades in the commercial
world where advantages may be Sc
cured. The difference of opinion comes
when any particular trade is proposed.
In general terms the stand pat" re-
publicans are for reciprocity in non
competitive products. They are against
reciprocity arrangements in general,
which bring foreign products into COM
petition with home products.

PLATFORM SENTIMENT.

The insistence Of a few of the most
rabid of the stanipat papers, that re-
affirmation of the 1903 platform is to
be defeated at the coming state con-
yention is gaining little countenance
from the reasonable and sensible Iowa
press. The Sioux City Journal, Du-
buaue Times and Des Moines Register
and Leader, all conservatively edited
Gutspoken in defense of the platform
and in condemnation of any attempt to
violate the pact which was practically
made when, as the Register and Lead
err declares, several party leaders were
interviewed, and in very definite terms
they all announced that they were not
disposed to make any contest over a
platform declaration they had them
selves had a hand in drafting. There
upon Senator Funk said that he would
not stand as a candidate against Mr.
Blythe
Admitting that the 1903 platform
twas not perfect" the Register and
Leader goes on to say:
But this plank was carefully writ
ten, it was written by men represent
ing both factions of the party, and it
was made the basis of one of the most
enthusiastic campaigns the state has
ever had. It's acceptance now involves
no defeat for anybody, and no repudia-
ton of anybodys views. 1t is, there
fore, the one declaration the coming
convention can put forth that no one
IS in a position to object to or criti-
cise."
The plain facts are that the Iowa
platform of last year is a plain express
sion Of vital Iowa repuhlicanism and
any attempt to defeat it's reafflrmation
is not likely to receive strong encour-
agement from any but Fuzzy Wuzzies
like the Capital and the Cedar Rapids
Republican. 1t probably approaches
more nearly to the one which will be

AGAINST STATE SCHOOLS.


The legislature is now struggling
with the problem pre-ented by the
state schools in their demands for
money. These schools have for long
time been veritable white elephants ana
every year the demands are becoming
greater and more unreasonable, but
there has sort of foolish sentiment
alism developed that makes it almost
worth a mans political life to oppose
the demands of these elephants. The
result is that every year the tax pay
ers of the state are becoming mora
and more deeply involved in extrava-
CANT expense. In addition to the tut
ton paid by the students, it costs more
to keep up the expenses Of the state
university than it would to put every
student who completes the course thru
one of the old universities Of the east
ern states. But there is no reason why
students should be sent east, for Il it
We're not for the money squandered by
the state at Iowa City there would be
a number of schools In Iowa that would
be capable of doing just as good work
and would soon have Just as good repu-
tations as the eastern schools now
have.
