publican legislation which enlarged
the free list. 1t was republican tariff

THE PORT ARTHUR DILEMMA.

Judged in the light Of Information
that has been coming from the scene
of the far eastern war during the last
few weeks, the situation in which the
Russians find themselves at Port Ar
thur is the most dangerous since the
siege began. Every fresh assault by
the Japanese on the beleaguered city
results in severe damage to the town
and the Notifications. Every brush be-
tween the garrison and the enemy

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

1--WE may not often with advantage
call poets to frame our laws" says
the Burlington Hawk Eye, but we
may we'll invoke the spirit of poetry to
inspire our craftsmanship 1t was the
moral poem of Senator Hears right
living and right purpose that impaired
grander tone to some of the legisla-
ton that has helped to build upon sure
foundations the institutions Of free
people,"
The Rockwell City Advocate finds
that "the game of politics is respons-
ible for the attack upon Roosevelt on
account of his pension order. Real
issues being scarce 1t is necessary to
manufacture them. In Difference to
the stand taken by some of the lead
ing members of his party, Judge
Parker has Joined in the assault on or
der No. rs. His utterance is a bold
one, but he could hardly have taken
position more unpopular in the ma
ton generally, always excepting the
solid SOUTH"
AS to the result at st. Louis the
Sioux City Journal says: "Presum-
ably most of the concessionaires have
made money, and undoubtedly the fair
visitors have held large sum OF
money in ST. Louis. On the whole
however, 1t is only by making liberal
charges against advertising account
that the fair as whole will be able to
balance It's cash account Probably
st. Louis will have no regrets over the
outcome. The fair is the biggest ad-
vertisement ever, and 1t is doubtful II
any living person will have another
opportunity to look upon an exposition
of such magnitude and beauty"

vigorous campaign of economy" says

from a native. There are not wanting
evidences, however, that some of the
most substantial and law abiding ma
tives In the islands would consider It
calamity to sec the American flag
lowered in the archipelago. The gen.
eral assembly feature, however, Is al
ready provided for by an act of con-
gress and will In time become an actu-
atty. 1t Is necessary, however, that
the franchise in strictly ideal matters
be given sufficient probationary term
to make sure that the average-not
the best-native realizes the RESPONSE
b1lity attaching to the exercise of the
elective franchise. We may be as
sured that the government does not
intend to intrust the selection Of
lawmakers to irresponsible people who
do not appreciate the solemnity of the
trust reposed in them. There is plen-
ty of self-governm ent already provided
by legislation now upon the statute
books and all that the Filipinos have to
do is to reach out their hands and take
what is theirs as rapidly as they can
make use of it. When they have, Of
their own volition, ayailed themselves
of all the civil liberties that have been
provided for them they may have &C.
casion to ask for more, but just at
present the consumption is not in dan
ger of being in excess of the supply
/ Whenever the Filipino has demonstrate
ed his preparedness for the right Of
electing his own assembly that body
will be organized forthwith. but hedged
about by the executive veto power and
such other safeguards as will prevent
wildcat legislation. If the Filipino
then evinces or develops such stability
of character and soundness of intellect
as to make it safe to trust him with a
wider range of liberties, there Is no
fear that the additional liberties will
not be provided. One by one the brakes
and safety valves, all of which are de-
vised for the Filipino's own good, will
be withdrawn and the assembly will
become an institution of greater dig
nifty and Importance. An autonomous
condition is one into which the Fill
pinos cannot be legislated or auto-hyp-
Noticed. They must prepare themselves
for 1T by learning the tasks of citizen
ship and performing them faithfully"
"The obstructionists are here, not
elsewhere. They may postpone but
they cannot defeat the realization Of
the high purpose of this nation to re-

/ largest participation of which they are
capable" President Mckinley to noti-

The slaughter of the pine forests
BY the lumber men have left vast
areas of Florida land ready for the
ploughman to convert into pastures
rich with beef making possibilities.
These lands can now be secured at a
low figure from the lumber men who
have exhausted their wealth of tim
Der. The stock men are next to the
real situation and will doubtless APP
preciate their golden opportunities
and these tracts will be the means OF
improving their breeds of cattle and
a future source Of rapidly increasing
wealth.
In the immediate vicinity of
Tampa, where milk and butter are OF
higher importance than beef, our
numerous diaries have already done
much in the improvement OF the
breeds of milk producing cattle by
the fine herds of Jersey and Devon
cattle that are found all around the
city. But in the interior of the state
il is evident that the native cattle
must be interbred with larger stock
to secure the best results.
The association will no doubt con-
tribute largely to bringing about this
highly desirable result.-Tampa
