That it's first cost is cheaper than
wood and that its endurance is end

The Cedar Rapids Gazette favors
changing the form of the ballot, but
not with the idea of making voting
more easy for those who refuse TO
take the time or who lack the intel

the Iowa ballot, so that the voter would
be compelled to show at least mark

HIRED GIRLS.

MdllSOn DeIHOCTdI.l
Yes, she's nice girl all right, but
she works for fVng. There are
other girls who work for living, too;
but they are not Kitchen mechanics"
They can sew Of keep books, work IN
a store or run Vneyepter, at wages
that our hired girf' would turn up
her nose at. but "sassiety" admits
them, in fact, chases after them and
the boys with the high collars,
hair parted In the middle, and pimples
on their cheeks, just go wild over them.
Those same boys will need good, eco
nomical housekeeper, just like our
Kitchen mechanic" when they get
married or else their dinky little salary
will look like twenty cents less than
!! -four bits at the end of the month
and the dishes won't be washed nor
milady's hair combed either Bothera-
ton to the "hired girls" anyway! They
are always butting in on "our set and
occasionally they take one of our
boys" off on a wild goose chase and
marry him and make him a splendid
wife and he grows fat and healthy
looking and his digestion works well
and he is always telling the other fell
got. But this is only once in while.
Most of the time the pesky Kitchen
mechanic" is relegated to the rear If
her pretty head ever happens to bob
up in anything like what some apes
chose to call "sassiety," it is sure to
be promptly knocked by the ever-ready
hammer of some hen who has waited
so long for something, anything to
ask her to change her name. And
then sometimes the "hired girl" gets
married and when she gets a hired girl
she lords it over her like burly roost-
er over a sick duckling. She would
throw up her hands and faint promptly
at the thought of cher" even thinking
of trying to butt into "sassiety" from
which she, herself, was once tabooed.
That is, sometimes she does such
things, but not always. This is a hell
of world, in some ways anyhow.

IOWA LEAD FOR REVISION.
[Des Moines News]
At time when good many politi-
clans are finding courage to voice their
convictions in regard to the tariff
schedules, and good many are favor
ing amendment of schedules, in spite
Of the stand-pat shiboleth of "let well
enough alone" and when still others,
enraged by finding themselves on the
losing side of a political game, are
disposed to again distort the truth
that they may hide their shame-right
now is a good time to point to the
Iowa record.
If standpatterism is today in the
nation an abandoned and discredited
policy, it is due largely to the cour-
ageous activity of Iowa men In insist :
ing that the republican party is in
duty bound to inquire into the tariff

WHAT COLONY is THIS?
Township of Blackjack Has Its
Troubles.

BEMIDJI. Mimi. Dec. 6.-There is
intense excitement at Blackjack over
the published reports of the intention
of Booker r. Washington to establish
a negro colony in Blackjack town
ship. 1t is believed that the reports
are without any real basis of fact, but
several things have cOnspired to per-
suade settlers of Blackjack township
that the project is about to be at
tempted. 1t is the one subject of dis
cussion in BIackfoOt, and farmers for
miles around are daily at Blackjack
and Hines Spur to investigate.
The rumors originated from the fact
trat a mysterious company has been

the standard for the officers should
be kept even higher--which, as regards
the upper ranks, can best be done by
introducing some system of selection
and rejection into the promotions We
should be able, in the event of some
sudden emergency, to put into the feel
one first-class army corps. which
should be, as whole. at least the
equal of any body of troops of like
number belonging to any other nation.
Great progress has been made in
protecting our coasts by adequate
Notifications with sufficient guns. We
should. however, pay much more heed
than at present to the development of
an extensive system of floating mines
for use in all our most important har-
bors. These mines have been proved
to be a most formidable safeguard
against hostile fleets.
The Philippines.
In the Philippine Islands there has
been during the past year a continue
ton of the steady progress which has
obtained ever since our troops def
nitely got the upper hand of the in
surgents. The Philippine people, or, to
speak more accurately, the many
tribes, and even races, sundered from
one another more or less sharply, who
go to make up the people of the Philip
pine Islands, contain many elements
of good, and some elements which we
have a right to hope stand for prog
ress. At present they are utterly in
capable of existing in independence at
all or of building up q civilization of
their own. 1 firmly believe that we can
help them to rise higher and higher in
the scale of civilization and of capacity
for self government, and 1 most earn
estly hope that in the end they will be
able to stand, if not entirely alone, yet
in some such relation to the United
States as Cuba now stands. This end
is not yet in sight, and it may be in
definitely postponed if our people are
foolish enough TO turn the attention
of the Filipinos away from the prob
lens of achieving moral and material
prosperity, of working for a stable, or
Derby and just government, and to-
ward foolish and dangerous intrigues
for complete independence for which
they are as yet totally unfit.
Every measure taken concerning the
islands should be taken primarily with
q view to their advantage. we should
certainly give them lower tariff rates
on their exports to the United States:
if this is not done it will be wrong
to extend our shipping laws to them.
l earnestly hope for the immediate en-
actment into law of the legislation
now pending to encourage American
capital to seek investment in the
islands in railroads, in factories, in
and in numbering and min
ing.
