A stronu Man.


When 1 was d boy back in the hill
country Of Kentucky, l heard an old
doctor, who was good deal of a
philosopher, declare that he judged peo-
pie by their flesh marks, and SO do we
all. When the Fifty eighth congress as
sembled, one of the new members who
attracted my attention by his handsome
face and commanding presence was
Hon. Martin ]. Wade, the lone Demo
GRAFT from Iowa. Everybody knows that
the Hawkeye delegation is one of the
strongest in the house. The only trouble
with them is their naughty politics.
the worst ever. In ability Judge Wade
is the peer of any of them, and in poll
tics he is right He has not been of
fensively intrusive, but he has not
chosen to remain silent Whenever he
has spoken he has instructed and de
lighted his auditors. He ought to be
returned to the house by an increased
majority. On all hands he is regarded
as an able and valuable member. He
does not indulge much in rhetorical
frills, but talks sound sense. The fol.
lowing excerpt from his speech against
the ship subsidy steal is first rate cam
paign material and illustrates his thor
ough command Of our vernacular:
Mr. Chairman-I am opposed to this
ship subsidy scheme It is true that all
that is now asked is the appointment Of a
commission to investigate as to the adj
visibility of establishing a system of
subsidy, but we all know that we are TAX
ing the first step in a course which will
Just as surely fasten upon the American
people subsidy burden as it is certain
that the sun will rise upon the morrow.
am opposed to this scheme, as am to
every subsidy scheme, whether the bene-
ficiary be a person or a corporation. i
am opposed to it as I am opposed to every
project by which the many are taxed for
the benefit Of the few.
All through the ages noble self1shness
which inspired men to labor and to save
has been the handspring of progress. In
every civilized portion of the world indi-
vidual men have planned work which
they hoped would produce as a result Of
their efforts the means of sustenance for
themselves and their families. 1t was
thus that the little stores we're first es-
tablished in the hamlet. 1t was thus that

New York Republicans, including
President Roosevelt are evidently un-
easy about New York. At their state
convention they performed the unusual
and remarkable caper of making Hon.
Benjamin Odell, the present governor,
chairman of the state committee IAN
unprecedented performance. Now, hav-
ing canyassed the strong and weak
points of all the New York Republicans
domiciled in America as possible candi.
dates for governor and having discov-
cred weak points in the harness Of
each, they are considering the feasibil-
ity of crossing the Atlantic and forcing
into the race General Horace Porter,
who for more than seven years has
been our ambassador to France. They
think that the general would be strong
er than any of the stay at homes be-
cause he has in no way been mixed up
in New York Republican politics in re-
cent years-a queer reason to the mere
casual observer, but very strong one
to those who really know anything
about the workings of the Platt-Odell
machine.

IeonoeIasm.

lconoclasn1.
The iconoclasts are getting in their
work in Kansas and have mercilessly
smashed popular idol. Americans
are essentially and incorrigibly hero
worshipers, and when they heard that
Colonel Fred Funston of the Twentieth
Kansas had swum the Bag Bag river
in the Philippines in the face of a gall
ing fire from the enemy they con-
sidered it a most gallant exploit and
swore that Fred was genuine hero
caper, and he was rewarded by being
made brigadier over the heads of
several who by seniority were entitled
thereto.
The story was printed in a history
used in the schools of Kansas and has
been generally accepted as true. Some
thing has happened recently in that
connection which will shock the hero
worshipers aforesaid. The state text
book commission of Kansas has de-
cided that Funston never swan the
Bag Bag river and that the flaming
account of his so doing was a Pigment
of the Imagination, even if it did Sc
cure to Fred his brigadier's star. At
least that is what press dispatch
from Topeka says. and it contains the
further information that the commits
sioners aforesaid have served notice on
the publishers of said history % to
expunge the Funston fake story.
Furthermore, the commissioners de-
clare, 1--WE will give the credit to
Priyates Trembly and White, to whom
it belongs" They add these plain and
vigorous words: 1--WE are tired of see
ing the misstatement thatFunston ever
swan a river paraded before the pupils
of the Kansas schools 1t will be
stopped now, while there are men Gv-
ing in the state who know it is not
true"
Query: AS Funston is a brigadier
in the regular army and will in due
course become major general and lieu
tenant general, commanding the army,
what will be done about it? He has a
life position. He seems safe. Will he
demand a court of investigation? Will
his brother officers demand it? Can he
or they afford to remain mute? Nous
verrons.
