RUSSIA'S FRIENDSHIP.


To THE EDITOR: That public SEN
timent IS almost universally ia fav-
or Of Japan ID her contest goes
without saying, and yet there are q
few Of our people who favor Russia.
The pro Russian arguments are the
traditional friendship Of Russia
for the United States, that Russia
is Christian nation whereas Japan
is heather and that the freedom Of
the serfs is evidence of Russia $
progress in civilization and of her
efforts to bring her people up to a
higher plane Of living.
The term traditional friendship
grew out of two incidents which
we're amplifed by the fertile imagi-
nation of our people until there is a
belief. though not very general,
that Russia did express special
sympathy and a willingness to help
IN an emergency.
The first was Russia's offer Of
mediation with Great Britain in the
war OF 1912, which offer was very
promptly declined by England. For
this Russia is entitled to our kindly
consideration. The second, around
which some mystery has always
hung, was the presence of Rus
sian fleet in New York harbor dur
ing the Civil war. Nobody knew
just how or why the feet came but
the fact was accepted by the people
as evidence that Russia was dis
posed to espouse the cause of the
North in the event of the ''t-
ton by Great

The average original allotment ot
land to male peasants was from five
to twenty acres but IN whole pro
vinces there has been no increase
10 the amount Of land, whereas
there has been large increase ii
population, dependent Oh the orr
ginaI allotment for subsistence, and
decrease ii the fertility Of the soil.
The situation Is deplorable ID the
extreme. A petition asking for
permission to migrate to another
part Of the empire says: Even the
small areas we cultivate have be-
come impoverished for lack Of fer
tilization, inasmuch as we have no
cattle and cannot get manure. Many
Of our families number from ID to
70 persons and out Of the scraps OF
ground allotted to them they cannot
get even d bare subsistence In a
year or two more we shallall starve
TO death,
It's only fair 10 say that Mr..
KEENAN, has shown the worst side
Of the condition OF the peasants, but
when whole provinces are in the
condition represented it is easy to
read between tho lines that condi-
tions are bad enough among the
best. Can q government expect
loyalty and patriotism from sub
jects living under conditions that
barely enable them to keep soul and
body together? Q. B. TERRELL.

of sthe state from Cedar Rapids, in
which you stated that you had in
structed your Chairman to accept the
challenge, and named time and place
for the opening meeting, at Ottumwa,
Oct. 5, and one meeting in each coun-
ty seat in the district.
At republican headquarters in Des
Moines, you were reported to have
stated that you had dore this, and
were surprised that you had not been
advised of arrangements for the meet
ing.
Today am advised that your com.
mittee, in session in this city, has
declined to allow you to accept. the
challenge to discuss the issues with
me, as you stated to the press you
had done. thereby gaining for your
self state and national notoriety be-
cause of your alleged willingness to
meet your opponent.
Therefore, feeling that your per-
sonal wishes in the matter have been
disregarded, and believing that you
are willing, as you stated to the press,
to meet me in joint discussion of the
issues. and that your wishes have not
been properly considered by the COM
mittee, therefore ask you personally,
that you meet me in joint discussion
of the issues, before your constitu.
ents at such times and places between
now and election, as may be arranges
between yourself and me.
Because of the delay of your COM
mittee, the date suggested by you, of
Oct. S, for the first meeting, would be
impracticable, but would suggest two
meetings a week, one in each county
seat in the district, the basis of dis.
cussion being the republican and
democratic platforms and principles,
and your record in congress, and the
issues now before the public.
However. recognizing the rights of
a challenged party, to suit your con-
venience in order that the voters of
the district may have an opportunity
to hear us jointly on the issues of the
campaign, as the opposing candidates
fer congress from this district
shall expect to receive a prompt
reply to this request, and believing
that shall do so, have the honor to
remain,

Democratic Nominee for Congress,
Sixth District of Iowa.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather of
the summer m nths TO guard against
bowel troubles. AS a rule II is only neces-
sary TO give the child a dose o. cas- +
oil to correct any disorder or the boweis.
DO mt use any substitute. but give the

is fresh. as rancid oil n~auseates and has
a tendency TO grippe. II this does not
check the bowels give Chamberlain's Col
ic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and
then a dose II castor oil. and the disease
be checked In it's 'ncipiency and all
