bNDON, fCD. 3'-GloDdDly tn'
house-party given at Chatswortf
last week By the Duke and Duchess
of DcyonshiTe to the king and
queen Of England was the most rega
that Edward VA aud his consort ever
have attended As one Of the richest
ard proudest nobomcn IN this country
the duke might have been expected tC
furnish his sovereign with an entertain
ment that would surpass amy ever Of
fcrcd them before IN a private way
but. as Americans may know there was
a special reason why the famous peer
and his duchess. were prepared to do
their level best to give their roynl
guests such a time as they never had
in their lives before
The king and queen were to visit last
year the most beautiful home In Eng
land as Chatsvorth Is called and at
that time festivities were arranged
only less brilliant than those which
Just have come to an end But then,
like the traditional thunder-clap, came
the announcement that the royal visit
would not take place, the king being
irdisposed. Those on the inside aver
red, however, that 1t was the queen who
was "indisposed to visit the Dyon-
shres. Gambling at bridge which Is
anathema to queen hleXandra-is said

guests invited 20 meet thelr majesties

mere mention Of whose names made the
queen wathy. Explain It in any way
you please there seems to be no doubt
that her majesty set her foot down in
a fashion that her august lord learned
some time ago means business, and so
there was nothing for 1t but to call the
whole thing Of and put the best pos
sble face on II.
HOW II WAS DUNE,
Not since that time have the king and
queen so much as crossed the tnrc shold
Of any one Of the Duke of Devonshire's
eight magnificent homes. and It must
have taken no end Of social wire pulling
on the part OF the famous hostess thus
Inundated to get the recent royal visit
paid, SO there you have the reason
why money was simply poured out at
Chatsworth and ingenuity pushed TO
It's farthest extreme to compass such
private entertainment as probably
never was seen in this country in our
day.
To begin with, at Chatswowh house
itself was assembled an army Of serv-
ants large enough TO run an American
hotel. In ordinary times, the staff at
this famous country house numbers
nearly 100, but for the service Of the
king and queen the 40 titled and other
wise distinguished guests that had
been hidden to meet them the ducal
pair had called up domestics from all
their otner seats and, besides, en-
gagged five or six special chefs from
London. What It cost to provide the

One of the important matters to come
before the voters this fall is the ques-
tion of changing our system of elections
from annual to biennial. There never
has been any demand among the people
for this change. 1t has been advocated
for several years past by few of our
exotic politicians. At every session of
the legislature it has received the votes
Of the members of that body who were
DESTROYS of extending their terms Of
office without going before the people.
There is no argument in favor of change.
There are hundreds against and sufi-
Gent one for the present is that it
would extend the term of Office of GER
tain officials from governor down who
fare not in accord with the prevailing
sentiment Of the party which elected
them. Abba Union.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1904-08-11

The Maine state election in Septem-
Der will be the first substantial feeler
of the eountry's political sentiment.
Both parties, in presidential years,
drum up more voters for the state con-
test in September than for the presf-
Dental contest two months later; and,
of course, this is due to the desire to
influence the country's attitude on ma
tional issues. In 1900, for example, the
republicans elected their candidate for
governor by some $4,000 plurality, while
they gave Mckinley about $4,000 plural
ity over Bryan. Republican pluralities
in state elections since 1894 have run
as follows: 1894, plurality, 3S,97S; 1895,
plurality, 41,645; 1898, plurality, 24,769;
1900, plurality, 34,1s2; 1902, plurality,
27,490. 1t is well to watch Maine, but
democrats never give it up however it
may 60.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1904-08-11

Since 1881 only two vice presidents
have served their full terms as such.
Arthur served six months and fifteen
days, and was then elevated to the
presidency through the tragic death of
General Garfield. Hendricks lived less
than year after his Inauguration. Both
Morton and Stevenson served full terms
Of four years. Hobart had been in office
about two years and nine months when
he died. RooseveIt's vice presidential
term lasted six months and ten days,
and then the death Of Mckinley called
him to higher Office. To sum it up, it
can be said that during the last twenty
four years the Office of vice president
has had an incumbent for but twelve
years and six months.

The apportionment Of the census of
1900 will this year be effective, for the
first time in presidential election, in
changing the size of the electoral col
lege, which will this year consist of 476
votes-an increase of 20 votes over the
electoral college of 1900. The increase,
in detail, Of the of the 1904 college,
over that Of 1900, is as follows: Arkan-

KUROPATKIN'S STRATEGY.

Kuropatkin may be a great strate-
gist, but the way he went about his re-
cent movement taking the field for the
offensive campaign, displayed a weak
ness for brass band methods, if, in
deed, it was not a grave piece of folly.
Oct. 2 he stood up before an assembled
and declared in a loud voice that he
was going to take the offensive and
not until Oct. that he was ready to
make his mOve-twO full days in which
to allow Japanese spies in Mukden,
who were no doubt there in numbers,
to carry the news to Oyama and to en-
able Oyama to make his plans of de-
Tense; two full days in which spies
could work at gathering details of Ku-
ropatkin's plans, even assuming that
they had had no intimation of his pur-
poses beforehand.
Why the proclamation at all? Actions
speak louder than words always. and
far louder in war. Why not have made
his plans. arranged his forces and
struck his blow? ST. Petersburg, the
ear and the world would, without diff
Guilty, have understood that he had ia
ken the offensive. Or he could have
given the car private tip, if he had
felt it necessary.
The folly of his course seems ap-
parent from the way in which the Jap
anese have met his advances. Kuro-
patkin has not only failed to compel
the japanese to give way before his
frontal attack at Yen-tai. but his wide
turning movement on the Japanese
right seems to have come to naught.
Furthermore, his own right is in grave
danger from a thanking movement by
the Japanese left army, which is fight
ing desperately to accomplish it's pur-
pose and which Oyama has hopes will
succeed.
Failure means loss Of prestige for
Kuropatkin himself, loss of standing
with the Chinese in the surrounding
territory and encouragement for Port
Arthur.
The Russian general would have
been expected to learn from the way
know before, that look tim COM
ing style of warfare is out of vogue and
poor generalship.

"GOlden-Rule' Jones was a piOus
man of the kind that devotes more at
tention to deeds than to words, though
he was not unmindful of the power of
words and lost no opportunity to say
something that would tend to advance
righteousness. Sometimes he found it
necessary in promoting the cause to
tell what he had done in Toledo, but
evidently he left the best part of his

POSSIBLE RAILWAY EVOLUTION

A Wall street rumor has it that it is
the Standard Oil group that is back
ing E. H. Hartman in his great
schemes Of railway conquest. This is
more than likely, for there is no more
inviting field for this most powerful
financial group than railway control

cles in McClure's Magazine that the

of free railroad passes in visiting Spo-
ColfaA and other points in the state
nor can it truthfully deny that the
commissioners have charged the county
full mileage and per diem for all these
junketing trips. But it challenges the
statesman to prove that the commits
sioners have been bribed by the ac-
ceptance of free railroad passes. 1t is
not easy to analyze a mans motives
and the influences that lead him to per-
form certain acts. but the public can
draw it's own differences as to the eff
fectiveness of the free passes by the
attitude of the commissioners toward
railway taxation. 1t is a we'll known
fact that last year the commissioners
reduced the assessed valuation of one
of the railroads traversing this county
from $3.50 to $4,000 a mile an1 that
of this road in the third class instead of
the second that it's taxes might be cor
respondingly reduced. The county at
torney, who is also a railroad attOr-
ney, attended the meeting of the state
board of equalization as the represen-
tative of the commissioners and he
made no effort to prevent this change
in the classification of the said road.
Moreover, it is we'll known that the
commissioners reduced the valuation
of the railroads of this county from
$4,000 a mile, as fixed by the county
assessor to 1892 mile, a cut of over
% per cent. Whether or not the free
passes given the commissioners by
the railroads had anything to do with
this cut in the taxable valuation of
the railroads is left to conjecture.
The constitution of this state pro-
hibits the acceptance of free passes by
public officials. The commissioners
took a solemn oath to support the state
constitution. That they have violated
their oath by the acceptance of free
railroad passes is not left to con-
lecture. 1t is "a fact that cannot be
gainsaid.
Railroads are soulless corporations
and they are not in the habit of max
ing gifts to charity or of giving some
thing for nothing. When they extend
the courtesy of a free pass to a pub
lie official they expect quid pro quo.
AS soon as the official retires to private
life the courtesy is Withdrawn. In
the case of Senator Herman D. Grow
of Spokane his pass was revoked by
Attorney Will Thompson Of the Great
Northern because Crow had voted tor
the Tolman commission bill and
Thompson made mo bones Of saying
so in his letter to the refractory sena-
tor. If the commissioners of this cOun-
ty had voted to sustain the railroad
valuations made by the county assess
or or to increase them they would have
run the risk of losing their free annual
passes, just as Senator Crow lost his
by voting for the commission bill.

REPIrBLICAN PLEDGE IS WORTH
LESS.

The Union is very much incensed be-
cause democratic nominee for the
legislat ure is reported to have said
that the pledge of the republican nom
inees for the legislature to support a
railway commission was not made in
good faith and would not be kept.
There is certainly good ground for
questioning the sincerity of the pledge.
The Union whose editor is the chair
man of the republican county central
committee, has repeatedly declared that
no republican Legislature will pass
Turner to sign. In all probability
George Turner will be elected governor
and if republican Legislature should
be elected with him the Union advises
the republican Legislative nominees in
this county, if elected, to vote against
a railway commission, as it would
place patronage in the hands of a
democratic governor.
This advice has the sanction of
higher authority in the party. The re-
publican state central committee has
sent out a circular in which the fol-
lowing declaration is made:
There will be a republican legisla
ture. No republican legislature will
put into Turner's hands as governor
the power granted in the naming of a
railroad commission. Because of these
facts there is no reason why any re-
publican should vote for Turner
In speech at Tekoa last Friday
night Congressman Humphrey secuted
the idea that republican legislature
would pass a commission bill and let
n democratic governor appoint the
members of the commission.
Two of the republican members of
against the Tolman commission bill at
the last session in spite of the pledge
a commission would be created ana in
spite of their personal pledges made on
returning from the state convention
that they would stand squarely on the
platform. What then can be expected
of republican members of the legisla-
ture when their state convention has
repudiated the railway commission
plank of two years ago and the brave,
honest governor who dared to oppose
the will of the railroad lobby?
1t should be plain to every sensible
voter that the only way to make sure
of the creation of an appointive, regu-
lative railway commission is by the
election of a democratic legislature as
we'll as democratic governor In this
county the democratic legislative NOM
