z IOWA TREE.

Geo. Steele, a well known farmer
living southwest of Knoxville, has a
good-sized tree, probably 80 to Sc
inches in diameter, growing in n of
his pastures. The tree is perfect,
with no sign of a chance union or
two trunks, and has bark that has
the appearance Of some species of
elm. A short distance above the
ground, probably 21s or 8 feet, the
trunk forks are divided into two per-
feet trees, each about 16 inches in di-
ameter. The only peculiar thing
about this is the two trunks or limbs
above the point of division are Of
wood of different species, one being
a perfect cottonwood and the other
a water elm! There is probably
nothing more remarkable in the way
Of tree growth in the entire country,
not ven excepting the Combination
tree" south Of Dunreath. The bole
or trung of Mr.. Steele's freak tree is
smooth and circular, and does not
betray the slightest traces of ever
having existed as two separate sap
lings. One portion of the tree annu-
ally bears its crop Of velvety, seretat-
ed lance shaped leaves and fiat seed
capsules; the other its broad, dark
green and deeply-notched leaves and
cottony pods. How nature ever
formed such an odd combination will
probably never be known.
Mr.. Steele has had some thought
to grub the curiosity out by the roots
and ship it to the Worlds Fair.
Should this plan be carried out
enough of each fork will be left to
show that they are covered with the
bark characteristic of the respective
species Of tree referred to-.

THE FOUNDATION FOR VICTORY.

The Bloomfield News-Republican,
one of the most vigorous champions
Of sound republican doctrines in
southern Iowa, is gratified by the
faith Iowa republicans are manifest
ing in these doctrines and gives
voice to it's pleasure in the following:
1.-THE tariff reform band wagon, in
the state of Iowa, has been complete
ly demolished by the protection bat
teries. During the tariff discussion
of the last few months, we have had
non-committal republicans, who care
fully guarded their words or acts, so
that neither side could locate them.
They were closely watching public
opinion, so that they might be able to
be in touch with the winning side.
They r nov declaring their fidelity
to sound protection and true republi.
canism in no uncertain language. But
in selecting our representatives to at
tend the coming conventions, men
who have never wavered should be
placed in position to declare the fu-
ture policies Of the republican party.
The Iowa delegates to the national
convention should be composed OF
men who can not be persuaded, ca
joled or flattered by the prodigals
who have suddenly discovered that
they r unsupported by the intelli.
gent sentiment OF the great body of
republicans of nearly every precinct
and county in the state. We believe
in harmony but not the kind that sac.
rif1ces the fundamental principles OF
republicanism, upon which national
prosperity Is founded and has blessed
the whole American people. If the
old guard, who have proved their
trust to republican principles, are in
command, a great victory will be Won
in November"
Commenting on the above, the OF
tumwa Courier says:
"Its advice with regard to the selec
ton Of delegates to the state and ma
tional conventions is sound. The
republicans of the Sixth district be
lieve 1t and purpose to make no mis-
takes in this matter by naming as
their representatives Hon. H. L. Wat
erman, of Ottumwa, and Senator J
T. Brooks, Of Hedrick. This they
will do in order to lay the foundation
for a large success at the polls mex
fall"

RI

This concession to the shippers

the value of this feature to the live

the fact that during the year 1908

received on the Chicago market, and
II only n shipper accompanied ev-
cry four cars, this would mean u.s.

Ottumwa Courier: Probably the
most tragic incident in recent years
was the sinking Of the Japanese trans
port Kinshiu-Maru off the Corean
coast recently. AS told in the tele-
graphic dispatches the majority of
the soldiers and crew aboard prefer
red death to surrender and when the
Russian cruiser blew up the transport
with a torpedo they continued to
fight until the dashing waves closed
over them, bearing them down to a
watery grave.
This Japanese boat was an unar.
mored ordinary sea-going vessel. 1t
was simply unfortunate enough to
meet some Of the best cruisers Of the
Russian Vladivostok squadron. There
would have been no disgrace, nor
could their fellow-countrymen have
censured them, had they surrendered
when confronted by such overwhelm.
ing odds. The admiral Of the Rus.
sian forces probably acted in accord.
ance with the rules of war when his
offer of life and order to surrender
were disdained and met by a vigorous
resistance. 1t was unfortunate for
the Russian honor that it became
necessary, by force of circumstances,
to authorize the massacre. 1t would
surely have been pardonable had the
Russian commander allowed the Japs
to escape after they had evidenced so
great courage and disregard for
death. 1t would certainly have been
act of mercy quite in keeping with
the fortitude of the victims. The
sinking of the Kinshiu-Maru proves
the kind of stuff that the Japanese
and Russians are made of. 1t ex-
plains also the cause of the many vic
tories that have already come to
Japanese arms.

large acquaintance with ports-to
have been intended by nature to be
one of the greatest ports in the world.
There was no other place in the world
where great dock facilities could be
so easily provided. They could go
down almost to the place where the
water got hot (laughter)-they seem
ed to know the place (renewed laugh

of rock, and let them compare that
with some of the ports that had to be
dug out in some other places. Some
day q man would come along with a
sand pump, lift the mudlands along
southampton Water, make an anchor
age big enough almost for all the
fleets of the world, and render a
thousand or two acres of foreshore
available for commercial purposes.
It was the opinion, not only Of him
self, but Of one of the chief engineers
Of America, that at Southampton
there would arise the greatest port
possible in all England"

GOVERNOR HAS REPRINTED.

Des Moines Capital: The gentlemen
who were formerly tariff rippers have
quite generally see the error of
their way and are disposed to brag
about it. 1t is stated with a good deal
Of pride that Governor Cummins
wrote the tariff plank which was
adopted by the republicans Of Hardin
county, as follows.
I'VE stand for a system of protec-
tive tariff duties so adjusted that it
will represent the difference between
the cost of production here and
abroad, to the end that our products
may have the best chance in our own
markets, and for the reciprocity that
increases labor and production at
home"
The above is a pretty good tariff
plank. 1t does not demand changes
In the tariff mot next year, but now"
1t does not say Competition we must
have at home,if possible, from abroad
II necessary" 1t does not say 'the
consumer is better entitled to compe-
tition than the producer to protec-
ton" 1t does not demand a commits
sion ito look over the country ana
take the tariff of as soon as a manu-
facturer begins to make a lot OF
money" 1t does not demand "reci-
procity in competitive products" nor
does it demand the free admission of
farm products from Canada. It does
not even leave room for these here
sizes that have formerly been the doc
trines Of the tariff ripper. We are
glad the governor has abandoned his
heresies, and we presume that at the
state convention he will be prepared
for re-baptism. We appoint Elder
Blythe to oficiate.
Between the resolution adopted by
the republicans Of Winnebago county,
demanding free trade with Canada,
and the resolution adopted by the re-
publicans Of Hardin county, there is
a great gulf and 1t is evident THAI
somebody has learned something.

NO eERRYMANDER.

EDITORS Herald:-The article cop
led by you from a Des Moines paper
relating to the movement to enlarge
the territory Of the Iowa Conference
OF the M. e. church, evidently writ
ten by an antagonist Of the measure,
calls it a "gerrymander." OF course
1T is an old trick to apply to q thing
one is supposed to some opprobrious
name, and n will answer as we'll as
another. But certainly this is a queer
sort of a gerrymander. That is a
term applied to the division of a rep
resentative district, for political ends,
in an unfair and unnatural way. And
If the term gerrymander Is to be used
at all with reference to the adjust.
ment Of the conference lines In Iowa,
1t belongs to the present arrangement,
which divides counties and runs right
through cities and towns, whose rela.
ton has to be provided for by excep.
lions. The early divisions Of the ter
ritory Of the state by the authorities
OF the church was done for the con
venience of the work. Then, back In
the fifties and early sixties, the state
was very sparsely settled, and as the
church had followed the settlers in
their wanderings, it gave the minis
tiers long travel, in many cases, to
reach the seat of the conference. But
the southeast portion was settled
first and the bulk Of the population
was in that part of the state. Great
stretches in the northern, central and
western parts of the state were al.
most ~unoccupied. Therefore, to give
the new conferences enough merber-
ship and population to form a confer,
ence, the lines had to be pushed south
and east. Rev. ]. B. Hardy, we'll
known here, was a member of the
committee to arrange the dividing
line fixed in 1856 for the Upper lowe
Conference, and states that it was
definitely understood at the time that
when the membership and population
in the north justified it, the line could
be corrected, which has never been
done. And 1t is enough to say that
by that division, and the one in 1864
when the Des Moines Conference was
formed, out of the territory of Iowa
equal to about 102 average counties
only about eighteen were left in the
original conference. The proposition
now is simply to square up the lines
and equalize the territory of the state
more nearly than at present. And
H.
loosa belongs, is very moderate in
its request. For If the change de.
sired is granted by the General Con.
ference, it will still be considerably
short of its due proportion, either of
territory, population or church mem.
bership. And that is all the gerry.
mander it is trying to make. w.
