LET US MAKE THE MONEY.

Here is a sample Of the kind Of pros
,perity that has visited Nebraska dur
ing the past seven years as told by the
Omaha Bee. Eight years ago Ne
braska was plastered over with New
England mortgages, Now the surplus
in the permanent school fund is being
invested in Massachusetts 81 per cent
state bonds and thesfafmer's surplus
on deposit in Nebraska bankssis being
loaned to New York and New England
banks. The farmers of Iowa have
had a like experience with this pros
perity business. Now SthatFSwe have
gotten out of debt and are in posi-
ton to make money let's continue in
force present policies that we may
reap the benefits instead of expert
.:menting with Canadian free trade and
turning over all the advantageous now
have to that country Lets stand pat.

We forget the divine in the souls of

We Judge them by acts within our

And deem them selfish. proud or

But the voice of Duty calls, some

And they rise to its call with deeds

Pinned meath the wreck and scalded

Dying amid the horrors there,
Thinking of others with his last

The hero's words rang out in the

'Don't mind me, boys. look down the

Get a red lamp and flag 49,"
Safe is the nation whose rank and

Are cast in such heroic mold;
Lives sacrificed on the fiery pile
Triumphant pass through the Gates

And the rays of its glory light up the

Mr.. PERKINS ADVICE.

Burlington Hawk Eye-There should
be no undertaking Of the Importance
of the interview which Mr.. Perkins
gave out in Washington after a visit
to the President In this interview,
which was printed in full in Wednes-
days Hawk Eye, Mr. Perkins makes
it plain that it is the desire of the
President that Senators Allison and
Dolliver be appointed two of the dele
gates-at-large from Iowa. Further
more Mr.. Perkins intimates in his
cleverest diplomatic language that as
last years state convention was a
Cummins convention, in view of that
gentlenan's candidacy for governor,
the national convention this year
should be a Roosevelt convention and
the president nominated on platform
in harmony with his public utterances
and record.
In support of this idea Mr.. Perkins
says:
THE, national convention, called to
meet in Chicago on June 81, from an
Iowa point of view, is to be Roose-
welt convention. The republicans of
our state are singularly united in the
support of the administration. They
have the utmost confidence in the adj
ministration, and it is beyond dispute
that the controlling desire with them
this year is to see Roosevelt nomin-
ated without dissent, on platform in
harmony with his public record, and
for his triumphant election in Noyem-
ber To this general end they wish to
be cooperative. To this end / am
confident they are willing to subordi-
nate minor matters, including ques-
lions of home concern Their leader
this year is the President and the plat
form this year, which they assume
will have this unreserved Endorsement.
will be the national platform
Mr. Perkins further argues in be-

Pneumonia in CHICAGO,

Over 1000 people died Of pneumonia
in Chicago last year. In every case
the disease. resulted from cold. Had
the cold been promptly and properly
treated at the outset almost everyone
would have recovered. This statement
is abundantly proven by the fact that
among the tens of thousands through
out this. country who use Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy to cure their
colds, no case of pneumonia has ever
been reported, which shows conclu-
sively that this remedy is certain
preventive of pneumonia. Chamber
|,lain's Cough Remedy has gained it's
wide reputation and enormous sale by
the prompt and effectual cures Of

brilliant accomplishments of Japan's
topredo craft. To strike quickly and
effectively is the province of the tor
pedo boat and perhaps no class of war
craft is better adapted to this work of
disabling an enemy's men-of-war than
the torpedo boats. Congressman R.
G.. Cousins of Iowa, a member Of the
naval committee. in discussing the
value of the torpedo boat in naval war
fare said
i should not be surprised if within
a few years, except for nidocean and
high sea contests, the great battle
ships and large vessels of all kinds
will be eliminated by the danger of
torpedo craft. The effectual work of
torpedoes in the Japanese attack on
Port Arthur only emphasizes what has
heretofore been indicated by torpedo
trials.
. Il have myself witnessed trials of
surface torpedo boats which convinc-
ed me OF their efficiency and the sub
marine, believe, will be developed
so as to be doubly dangerous to large
vessels.
"Of course for the destruction of
commerce, the armored cruiser OF
swift speed will always be absolutely
needed in naval warfare, and also the
battleship, but | believe that prudence
and progress justifies the construction
of torpedo boats, both surface and
submarine
81 wish that with our extensive
coast exposure we had more of them,
since they can be constructed at such
small cost and have heard no end
OF expression to that effect"
Speaking more particularly of the
execution of the torpedo boats Mr..
Cousins said:
Not long ago went with Lieut..
Fletcher, who was in charge of the
torpedo station at Newport with flo
tilla of torpedo boats for experiment,
and l was amazed at the wonderful
performances. Attacking an object
representing the size of battleship,
the torpedoes were discharged at diff
ferent angles, and, with only one ex-
ception they sped with merciless GER
tainty of hitting the mark The effects
demonstrated in the Japanese attack
prove beyond all question what they
VIII do when they come in contact
with great vessels ~ u
Americans are united on the pfopo-
sition to bring the navy of the United
States to the highest degree of effici-
ency possible. If to do this more tor
pedo boats are needed then they will
say build more torpedo boats Con-
gress and the navy department are
fully alive to the Importance of the sit
uation and they may be relied upon to
do the. thing that will prove of the
greatest benefit to the country. Re
suits of the naval battles in the far
east will be watched with great in
terest in this country and it may be ex-
pected that lessons will be learned
that will be of great assistance in
Strengthening our present naval
equipment.
