A LOVE MATCHBOX COURSE.

Des Moines News.--A sigh of con-
tent goes up from Germany because
the Crown Prince Is going to marry
the Duchess Cecilia, and it Is a love
match. The question was popped In
the most unconventional manner. He
asked her at the tea table, and she
said she would. And with the an
nounoement Of the betrothal comes
the official statement that the lady Is
f1rst-class housekeeper and could
cook and make the beds IL the Crown
Prince should lose his job and the
Duchess her money.
The whole thing was what might
have been expected from a family that
is well stocked with brains. Europe
insists that the German emperor Is a
poser, and eccentric almost to the ex-
tent of insanity
A like class of alarmists in this
country were sure that President
Roosevelt would do all sorts of fool
ish things, and plunge the United
States into bloody war. They were
wrong. The German emperor has rails
ed his family In the good old German
way, They have been taught to do
things, to reverence their parents, to
respect authority. and to believe in
that homely affection that touches the
hearts Of princes and peasants alike.
In this court there have been few
scandals. and in spite of the fact that
there is great anti-imperialist party
in Germany, the fact remains that the
people love the ruling family.
Politicians may talk all they please
Of the alleged fact that the coming
marriage was arranged to pacify a
certain section of the German empire,
but 1t is easy to believe that the
Crown Prince will wed because of his
healthy affection for the brown-hair-
ed princess, and that they will live, as
do most Germans, loving home, chill
dren and kindred.
There are many occupants Of thrones
In Europe who might we'll copy the
virtues Of the family of Emperor Will
liam, and thereby add to the peace ant
happiness of Europe.

PURE IGNORANCE.

usual instance Of race prejudice is re-
ported from Red Oak. The congrega-
ton of the Christian church Of that
place had called to the pastorate Rev.
A. r. Hunt. of Savannah, Mo. The
Reverend Mr.. Hunt agreed to the
terms, including a salary of $1,000 a
year, quite handsome, 1t will be ad-
mitted, for a parson in a city Of 5000
people. Also, whether the Missouri
exhorter knew it or not, he had before
him the pleasure of living in one of the
best little cities in the west, pretty in
Its physical surroundings, it's people
cultured and high-minded above the
average. But disconcerting rumors
reached his ears. He was told that in
this beautiful little Iowa community
where he had engaged to preach the
gospel Of the meek and lowly Naza-
Gated in the public schools along with
the whites. That was too much for the
Missouri divine. He wrote:
1--WE cannot allow our children to go
to school where negroes attend. Hence,
when / learned that such was the case
in Red Oak could not go there"
The good people of Red Oak believe
that they have been greatly favored In
the outcome of the negotiations. They

In case of this kind the question ma
turally arises, Are there any negro
children In heaven?" We can't find q
color line in the Bible and are left to
believe that the color Of the child's
skin makes no difference there. II SO
what will become of the Hunts, big
and little, when they have finished
here on earth?
But 1t is, Of course no cause for sur
prise that such sentiment comes out
Of Missouri, or any place in the south
There they have segregation in educa-
ton. as well as religion, how justif-
ably 30 we will not attempt to say, al
though little reflection might be
enough to convince most northern mer
that they have something to be thank
full for that their boys and girls, an6
especially the latter, are privileged tc
pursue their studies in schools where
there is at least great preponderance
of whites. If to this reflection the
northerner has added little observa-
ton in the south, he may be willing tc
section he would think as the whites
there do and wish for the segregation
Of the races In the public schools But
while this man Hunt may have nc
views unusual in his locality, he seems
uncommonly ignorant Of conditions IN
Iowa, In Red Oak. We have no sta
tistics on the subject, but from gen.
eral knowledge venture to guess that
there are not more than a dozen color
ed children in the schools Of that city
1t is ridiculous that anyone should
fear for the safety Of his children there
in this respect.

THE ITALIAN HEIR.

Des Moines Register and Leader
The king and queen of Italy do not in.
tend that their son and heir shall start
out in life handicapped by the Inflated
name which "The Eaglet' bore. Those
who have read or witnessed Rostand's
";L'Aiglon' will remember the son Of
the first Napoleon and his Austrian
consort, Empress Marie Louisa, was
known as the king Of Rome. The
tragedy of the young kings life will
also be remembered. Somehow or
other the very title. king or prince OF
Rome has been associated by the
Italian people with misfortune and
tragedy. 1t Is therefore with rejoicing
the royal decision has ben received
that the young heir, born last week,
shall be called Prince Of Piedmont
rather than Prince of Rome
Not only is the handicap of an ILL
omened name thus removed, but a
further cause for widening the breach
between the civil and ecclesiastical au-
thorities of Rome averted. Marquis
de Fontenoy calls attention to the
Rome upon the young heir would
constitute a perpetual reminder OF
what is regarded by the papacy as an
act OF sacrilegious usurpation and tend
to Interfere with those negotiations
that are now In progress with View
10 modus VlVend1 between church
and state" That the pope and the
reigning house in Italy should be on
friendly terms is desired by all the
world.
The birth of the heir to the Italian
throne has not occasioned the same
international comment that the birth
of the heir to the Russian throne did.
The young king does not have as great
a heritage of trouble as does the young
czar. Italy Is at peace with the civil
powers of the world and rapidly APP
preaching an entente cordiale with the
papacy. Four daughters had been
born to the czarina before the Young
car was born. The Italian queen had
given birth to but two daughters be-
fore the young king was born. But
In. Italy as great joy prevails over the
birth OF their heir as recently prevails
ed In Russia. e

SENATOR FAIRBANKS ACCEPT.
ANCE,

The letter Of Senator Charles W.
Fairbanks, accepting the republican
nomination for vice president of the
United States, has been made public
and is published in full in this issue,
The Courier would advise every voter
to read this letter. Time spent in
reading such documents is never lost,
and the exposition of facts presented
IN Senator Fairbanks letter is worthy
thescareful consideration Of every man
who, prizes his right to vote.
nr1ng the campaign the Courier
will comment on several occasions up.
on the letters of President Roosevelt
and Senator Fairbanks. They are the
TWO most valuable documents of the
campaign. One Of the strongest parts
OF the letter of the vice presidential
candidate Is his characterization Of
the action of the two parties with re-
gard to. trusts and combinations. In
this connection his letter says:
The democratic party has done
nothing toward safeguarding, legiti.
mate interests and restraining combi-
nations effected for extortion or other
improper purposes. 1t proposes as a
PRINCIPAL remedy for unjust combina-

market in an attempt to regulate our

the so-called trusts are either created
or fostered by the tariff The assump
ton is fallacious. Trusts are foundsin
free trade. countries and they control
commodities In this country whichsare
upon the free list.
The republican party is more direct
and rational. 1t does not strike down
good and bad alike. 1t invokes the
authority of congress and the power
OF the courts to deal with specific, well
defined combinations in restraint of
the rights and interests of the people.
II Is as insistent upon the protection
OF capital employed in wholesale enter
prise as in preventing its use in con-
trayention Of the public interests"

HOPE FOR IRELAND.

John Redmond, the apostle of home
rule for Ireland. Is optimistic and says
that never In history has Ireland been
30 near the coveted goal az now. Mr..
Redmond Is in Chicago for a few days
and In an interview there yesterday he
said.
Never have the Irish been as well
situated as they are today, and never
have the prospects for home rule been
30 bright The two great parties in
England are going to develop strength
SO nearly equal that we will hold the
balance of power, and believe that
home rule eventually will come to be
en- assured fact"
Tho Irish nationalist party OF
which Mr.. Redmond is now the leader,
has done good work and is beginning
to see the results Of it's efforts. The
cause of Ireland is beginning to be
popular in ireland, and Mr.. Redmond
says:

years is the formation of the Irish Re-

guage is being taught to children and

But the nationalists regret that so

tive land for the United States. The

trusts, and the necessity for curling
them. but unlike his party convention.
he did not see the necessity or desire
for new Legislation, holding that the
common law IL sufficient when honest
and courageous public servants invoke
1t against trusts and monopolies.
Judge Parker, in his speech said;
"The growth of monopoly. of which
complaint ia Justly made, cannot be
laid at the doors Of the courts of this
country. The decisions of the Gu.
preme court Of the United States, the
court of appeals Of this state, and the
courts OF last resort In many other
states, warrant the assertion that the
common law as developed affords y
complete legal remedy against monopo-
Hes"
It would appear from this that the
democratic candidate Is opposed not
only to new legislation against trusts
and monopolies but also to the anti
trust legislation Of the last fifteen
years-the laws under which the
Northern Securities Merger, the Beef
Trust, and great many other monopo-
lies have been successfully prosecuted
in the Federal courts, and dissolved.
II the common law was a sufficient
remedy against monopolies, why did
not those great democratic lawyers,
Olney and Harmon when acting as at
torney-general, invoke that law to car
ry out the demand Of the democratic
party that trusts and monopolies
should be abolished? They failed to
find either in the common law or the
Sherman Act, sufficient remedy against
monopoly, and President Cleveland in
his last m essage said the remedy must
be left to the states. If Judge Parker
finds that the only new remedy needed
Is courageous officials, he pays an un-
conscious and deserved compliment to
the present republican administration
which has so successfully prosecuted
the trusts. But it must have been a
surprise to the members Of the SUI
preme court Of the United States to be
told by Judge Parker that their decis-
ions against trusts had been on the
common law and not on the antitrust
laws enacted by republican congress.
In his opinion on the Northern Secur-
tiles case, Justice Harlan reviewed the
long list of decisions made under the
Sherman act, and held that Congress
had the constitutional power to enact
such law.
Judge Parker may be consistent in
his attitude on the trust question, for
it is a notorious fact that the demo-
Gratis In congress opposed the enact
ment Of the Sherman law, as they op-
posed every other subsequent effort by
congress to strengthen that law and
make it effective to reach and regulate
monopolies. If the democratic party
had been in power there would have
been no Sherman Antitrust law, and
it Is extremely doubtful If the common
law would have dissolved the Northern
Securities company, the beef trust and
the other monopolies that have been
curbed by the federal courts.
Judge Parker is In harmony with his
party in denouncing trusts and mono
poles without trying to find a remedy
for the evil complained Of.
