DEMOCRATS YELPING AGAIN
Denounce Republican Party for Ac-
ton That Has Won the Ad-
miration Of the World.

The democrats of California and of
Wisconsin use almost the same Ian
guage about the Panama canal. They
are in favor of that great work-they
would not dare to array themselves
against it-but they denounce the ad-
ministration for that policy which has
secured the canal for the nation and
the world.
The California democrats say they
have always been for an interoceanic
canal, but they condemn the methods OF
the administration in securing the
Panama right of way "as destructive OF
the integrity of confederated republic"
The Wisconsin democrats are for the
canal, but they regret that that great
project is stained with evidence of dis
honorable intrigue against the integrity
of friendly republic"
The territorial integrity of Colombia
seems to be of quite as much concern
to these democrats In search OF issues
as Is the isthmian canal. The sympa-
thy expressed for that so-called repub-
lie Is insincere, and the censure Of the
ADMINISTRATION Is Unjust. ne uOCu-
ments submitted to congress showed
that the policy Of the United States
had been straightforward and upright,
while that of Colombia had been tortu-
Gus and dishonest. To say that that
country was friendly republic" Is
to do singular violence to the truth.
Senator German, who had once the
reputation of being an extremely astute
individual, tried to make party and
personal capital out Of the canal ques-
ton, and failed ingloriously. He
erased his name from the list OF pos-
sible presidential candidates OF his
party. 1t is odd, says the Chicago Trib-
une, that the democratic platform writ
ers OF Wisconsin and California should
think they could score a point where
he failed so signally.
II democratic administration had
done what republican one has done in
the Panama matter the democrats in
their platforms would have pointed
with pride" to the commendable and
| successful policy they now condemn.

UE JEAN uEA9 tOUhA NhhblIl
On the opening of circuit court Judge
Frlit Immediately took up the injunct-
ional order issued against County Clerk
Marshall restraining him from levying
bridge tax on the village of La Fargo, as
apportioned by tbs county board, and
also declared the so-called omnibus
resolution, ordinance and levy Of 81. 700
void 9. W. Graves appeared for plain
tiff DeJeau and District Attorney Ben
nett andE u. Harkin, district attorney
elect, for the county and Clerk Marshall
A demurrer to the complaint was inte
posed. This was overruled and the
county then answered. The plaintiff
demurred to this answer and the de-
murrer for plaintiff was sustained. The
court will therefore issue an injunction
restraing the clerk from carrying out
eaid bridge tax against the village of La
Fargo, and holds that the bridge aid law
does not extend to any village or city.
The court further held that the ''on1ni-
bus" tax raising 50. 700, and distributing
800 to each town and village named in
the board proceedings, is void, and he
enjoins its collection also. The court
holds that as matter of law all villages
and cities must maintar! their own
bridges.
Clerk Marshall will now carry out the
tax except the items mentioned, the coll
lection of which has been restrained.

The following is a contribution to
the Western Christian Advocate:
'Twenty-one years ago three little
children were suddenly bereft of faith
er and mother-they were frientlless
and homeless; but it was only one of
the many similar instances happening
every day-onIy three little children
left friendless and homeless; that was
all. But ii was a crucial moment in
at least one life. Rev. J. G.. Lemen was
at that time pastor of a large church
in Council Bluffs, Ia. This man, whose
heart was large enough to find a place
for every unfortunate one, took these
children into his own home, where
they shared the same loving. tender
care that was bestowed upon his own
little ones. 1t was not long before he
learned of other children who had
Leen left to the cold mercies of sell
fish world. Moved with compassion,
he took these also, to his already
overcrOwded home. Then came the
test; money was needed. He had few
thousand dollars which he had saved
up for a rainy day. He little knew
what the Master had in store for him;
but he was obedient. and when the
news came that other little helpless
ones had been left alone, fatherless
and mctherless, with no one to care
for them. and the command came to
take these also. 10 the ordinary man.
with his house filed to Overlooking
and Il large congregation locking Ia
him to be fed spiritually. it would
have seemed like an impossibility:
not SO, however. with this man; il
was enough for him to know that his
Master approved of If and bid him to
do it. AS he stepped out upon his
promises and obeyed the command to
