ROOSEVELT GOOD ENOUGH. .

Near Grinnell lives an old mar
known as Jimmy Sparks. He is quite
g character. Born in Indiana. he has
voted the democratic ticket all his life
In 1895 and in 1900 he was not quite
sure OF the soundness of Bryan's views
on the money question. but he voted
the ticket just the same. He is unedu-

friend in Crinnell that he thinks much
of The other day he called on his
friend, and the lawyer asked him how
he liked the ST. Louis ticket and plat
form. The old man first showed his
hat over one ear, and then over the
other, and said: "In 1896 the demo-

AMERICANS FIRST.

A tendency to praise Japanese BRAY
cry and warlike intelligence to the be-
littlement of other races and nations
is observable too much of late. A dash
by Togo's fleet, a fight or a foray by
Japanese land troops is taken up and
by assertion made a comparison dis
advantageous to the navies and armies
of other peoples. The staid and con-
servative Ottumwa Courier falls into
the error when it says: Japan is in
the war to win. let the cost be what
1t may, and every man in the army
and the navy is "A patriot. Where
America has one Hobson Japan has
scores"
What the Courier evidently had in
mind TO assert was that devotion to
country and emperor makes every Jap
anese fanatically brave and that more
men might be found ready for a des-
perate venture among the laps than
among Americans. This conclusion is
wrong and without support in Ameri-
can history. Every deed of desperate
daring in which the japanese have
been so prolific had been done by AM
orleans on American soil. If the Cour-
Ter will reread history it will find that
no desperate enterprise was ever sug-
gested to American sailors or soldiers
that the volunteers failed in numbers.
Hobson might have had a thousand
men to help him sink the Merrimac
under the muzzles of the Spanish bat
teries. When Gushing in a narrow
launch attacked the ironclad Alber-
marie and torpedoed and sunk her
with powder charge on the end of a
pole. he could have had 10000 com
panions by word. The innumerable
instances to which Americans may
point with pride disprove any reflection
on American heroism. There is no lack
of the steel quality in American BRAY
cry. The need has always brought the
men in American history. The Japs
are brave people but their courage
and devotion may be properly praised
and appreciated without the belittle-
ment of other fighting men. They have
accomplished great things in naval
and military way, but they learned
their dash into Port Arthur from
Dewey's swcop into Manila bay, their
thanking tactics from Sherman's march
TO the sen and their cool determine
ton of assault from Grants campaign
in the wilderness. And all that the
pupils have done we'll had been better
accomplished by their masters.
Let us give the Jap all that belongs
TO him but let US not forget that in war
of arms or industry no other nation
can show the way to America and Am
arifaIes

WHAT OF THE MORROW

The man or the faction that stirs up
vention over a platform will be self
convicted of intentions other than the
best interests of the party. In these
days OF democrats getting together OH
all sides OF US and Belmont's barrels
behind a large political party it is time
that elf-seeking ceased In the repub-
lican party OF Iowa. There Is no great
danger to republican success in Iowa
this year. TO be sure, but continued eff
forts to down vigorous element with
In the republican party will only result
In ultimate disaster for the party.
The so called standpatters wrote the
state platform in May They said they

Sober and stern was life he'd led; his
record from sin was free,
SO loudly he knocked ere the gates un-

Old time river days have not return

traffic noticeabiy in the Diamond 10

Waterways Journal, speaking of the
lumber business on the Mississippi says
that less than twenty years ago sixty
rafting boats piled the upper river.
Continuing, the writer says: Eleven
rafting vessels. and as many bow
boats. are all that survive. and this
number is likely to be materially cur
tailed next year. These are the Kit

make frequent trips up and down the

days of old. Twenty years ago the
whistle of the rafter sounded almost
hourly from the river. and great strings
