THE CHANGE OF HEART.

We can but congratulate the Bulletin
upon its having adopted for its motto the
words of President Roosevelt, "a square
deal for all, no more, no less" Of course
it is true that had the Bulletin had it's
way the supine Parker would have been
President and the historic motto would
never have been uttered. 1t is equally
true that up to the present moment the
Bulletin has given no indication that it is
willing to follow the leader, whose motto
it has adopted for its very own. Usual
ly democracy awaits until a republican is
very dead before 1t sees any good in him
or in any of his sayings. That the Bulle
till has not done this. is gratifying. Ii
will be still more gratifying to learn that
| the Bulletin intends to be consistent and
to join the ranks of republican journals
1t has been rumored for some time that
a powerful influence was being brought to
bear upon the Bulletin to get it to desert
democracy There have been some in
dications that this was the case, and il
may we'll be that the adoption of the
Roosevelt motto by the democratic organ
is intended to pave the way for some such
change. The abandonment of its party
by the Bulletin would leave the loca
democracy rather demoralizsd. The las
election was rout for them and il would
indeed be better if they gave up their or
ganization and stood with the remainder
of Iowa, in the republican column. Natur
ally there are some who could not be ex
| pected TO change, but others doubles.
would AT any rate we welcome ths
Bulletin as a possible republican recruit
and although the repentance comes late,
we trust it is none the less genuine ant
that hereafter the Bulletin will stant
shoulder to shoulder with US in the supper
of Roosevelt and the square deal
The REVIEW can congratulate itself tina
it needs no change ofheart to bring it int
line either with the words of the Presi
dent, or with the President himself.

not materially contribute to the advance
ment cf Senator Allison, who has already
reached the highest rung of the political
ladder, but ii, in common with the other
tributes OF praise and appreciation which
are lavished upon him, is source of pride
to the senator's constituents in Iowa, and
to the citiz MS Of this republic.
Senator Al]ison's career furnishes one
of the most striking and valuable examples
Of what may be accomplished by the
youth of this country. He was not dis
tinguished by any of the brilliancy which
sentimentalists SO fondly attribute TO
famous men. He only possessed the
powers of application, concentration and
determination. He had patience, dill
gence, and that quality without which
life is mockery and permanent success
unatta;n able,s integrity. His life is
complete refutation of that sinister notion
that success is impossible in this age of
competition without an abandonment of
the golden rule. There cannot be found
in all his ltng and distinguished career
in public office the shadow Of suspicious
conduct; his compartment has been digni-
fed conservative. upright.

There are people who travel into for

inconvenience, visit art galleries and
mountain scenery. This seems to be a
useless expenditure of money and energy
in view of the fact that our country poss-
esses some of The grandest scenery in the
world We gaze in a rapture of marvel
and admiration at some reproduction of a
landscape, and too often pass unheeding
by the freshness and beauty Of the sum-
mer scenes all about US. Turner and In

paints and canvass, and yet every day we
see about US the wonders and beauty Of
landscape which they could only feebly

that there are things more enduring and

THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION.

Neither in ancient nor in modern times
has there been parallel to the mutiny
of the. Russian Black Sea squadron. tt e
sailors OF one battleship mutinied, killed
the officers and sailed for the port of
Odessa. The arrival OF the most power
fail battlesnip of the fleet, fving the
red flag, caused great CONSERVATION
and increased the rioting already in prog
ress there. The admiral of the feet was
ordered to Odessa and commanded to
sink the mutnous ship if it did not sur
render. The admiral went to Odessa
with his feet, butt dared no. order shot
fred for fear OF mutiny throughout the en-
re feet. Ono battleship left the feet in
open disobedience of orders, The admiral
and his effect left Odessa and after counu-
Gil of war decided to ungear the machir e.
ry and allow the disafected seaman to dis
embark. The rebel ship is sill at large
and is reported to be at port of Rouma-
MIA A " orse state of affairs could not be
imagined for any country The revolu-
ton in Russia would be successful if it
were but organized. The successful mu-
tiny is, however. the greatest defeat Rus
STA has suffered. 1t is incomparably
worse for itsIprestige as nation than the
loss of Port Arthur or the sinking of its
Pacific fleets. Surely these are days when
history is being made. Our sympathie-
m st lie with the Russian masses and it
is our hope that out OF the tragedies of
1905, may spring, a young, vigorous and
we'll goveynedRepublic.

POLITICAL COMEDY.

The corrupt and sinister in municipal !
politics have long been harped upon with
assiduity by individuals and newspapers.
and it relieves the motony to find in the
drama of "rings" and "reformers" al
touch of the ludicrous or ridiculous
Chicago has an alderman, who in the
minds of discerning and scrupulous men,
should not be an alderman at all. In
common with most other people he has
some conceit in his makeup; and also
considerable vanity. He imagines he is a
poet, and of late has been RECALLING the
public with choice quartrains upon such
inspiring subjects as, IA Bath Tub"
alderman McKenna, FAREWELL" etc.
This self styled poet is alderman Johh
Coughlan, alias "Bath House John"
The colleague to whom he addresses his
pathetic valedictory is Alderman Nc
Kenna, alias ''Hipky Dirk" Both are
| t pical ward heelsrs, and owe their
Offices to their proficiency IN coraling
votes of the purchaseable and comfortable
variety. These men are SO obviously at
variance with the almost universally
accepted ideal Of an alderman or other
public official that they come in for a
goodly share of attention at the hands of
reputable cartoonists.
In spite of the obtrusively comic aspect
of these men and their activities, there is
something of serious nature connected
with their consideration, Chicagois now
passing ordinances which will effect I'M
born generations, and there is a repre-
hensible indifference on the part of those
people who fail to beat off the marauders
seeking to plumber the Golfers of the
future. 1t is possible to weigh down
posterity with impoverishing loads, and
intolerable burdens of monopolistic OPP
pr ssion. by granting franchises and i'm
posing long drawn obligations. While
duly approaching the delightful humor OF
some Of these genial good fellows, the
field of government offers no desirable
setting for its display.

PRACTICAL IDEALS.

The popular conception of the ideal is
an unattatnable state of perfection, some
thing to. be desired and admired, but
which is considered to be of no practical
value or significance.
When we examine the motives, SO far
as possible, which have stimulated and
inspired the great artists, writer's and
statesmen, we are lead to the conclusion
that it is always the unattaned, the vision
of something better (which is the incentive
to action. The palpable incongruity ex-
istirg, between present conditions and
conditions..which the mind conceives to | e
the most perfect incites men to endeavor
to realize, to some extent, at least, his
preconce lived ideals.
An IDEAL government is republic in
which the rights Of all men and women
are fully recognized and protected civil
relation which preserves peace and order,
and which is conductive to the greatest
freedom consistent with equality Of oppor
tunity. 1t is..obvious that this state is only
an ideal state. Human imperfection
precludes its complete realization. tits,
nevertheless, of supreme importance that
we keep the ideal ever before US, in order
that we may not forget that there is some
thing better and more perfect which may
be approached if not fully attained. Retro
gression is the inevitable consequence of
the cessation of progress, and it is only
when we are headed in the right direc-
ton that we can hope to advance.
Ideals serve as models according to
which we try to accomplish our work.
Without them we would be content with a
lower grade..of results. The contrast be-
tween the ideal and tie ordinary or infer
ior prompts men tic improve their pro-
ducts in the future. 1t is said that what
a Frenchrnan does he does artistically.
He possesses disposition to study the
id al of beauty. There are other import.
ant ideals which should be applied to our
tasks. The ideal of morality and intel
gence should be studied and applied SC
far as practicable.

The passing of John Hay sewers another
of the links between the old generation
and the new. The fact that living
member of the cabinet had been private
secretary to the great Lincoln always
seem to bring the martyred President
nearer to US, to make US realize more
completely that Lincoln was not myth

THE JURY TRIAL

Secretary of War, VIM, II Taft, re-
Gently delivered an address before the
alumni of the law department of Yale
University. He took occasion to ques-
ticn the value Of trial by jury. With the
Iowa State Bar Association attacking the
grand jury system, and Secretary Taft, as
well as other eminent authorities in jur::-
prudence, depraceating the jury trial,
there is some grounds for entertain ing
the belief that our judicial system is not
perfect This. of course, is not to be ex-
pected from any mere human institution
What we should seek, however, is the
aearest possible approach to perfection
consistent with the limitations imposed
upon human judgment.
Secretary Taft refers to the recent &C
QUESTION by the U. S. of insular posses
sions, and attributes to this step the pres
ent tendency to study other system OF
law than the Common Law. He expresses
some doubt as to the superiority of the
Common Law over the Civil Law SO far
as the peculiar requirements of these is
lands are concerned, at least. He even
intimates that the Civil Law possesses
S 3me features which nigh. with profit be
incorporated into the body of our own
laws, and judicial procedure.
The advantages to be derived from the
abolition of the petit jury and the grand
jury, according to the advocates thereof,
are economy and saving of time. The
evils against which the jury was originally
designed to stand guard have in some
meas ure at least been removed by other
institutions incident to our improved po-
ltical order, and the advancement of the
science of government along other lines.
There are those who think that better
than the abandonment of the jury tria
would be a modification of il, by which
less than unanimous vote Would convict
or acquit This seems quite reasonable
suggestion. as large majority should de-
c;le the case, at least in civil proceedings
upon its real merits.

With wrecked astronomical depart

brows, the object of a deep and wide
spread public hatred, John D. Rockefel-
Ter doubtless feels that there are some
other things to be desised besides pro-
digious capacity for accumulating lucre.
The touch of Midas is his, with all Its
tragic consequence.

record of Thomas F Ryan, his late ven

Royal weddings furnish food for gossip
in Europe nowadays. These pampered
scions of royal households are being

the question of whether or not the people
who support these parasites in such mag.
nificent fashion are receiving value in re-
turn, is perhaps impairment at this time.

The nstional bankruptcy law is said to
have outlived its usefulness. There is
considerable contingent that favors its ap-
peat. 1t is frequently utilized by UNI
scrupulous individuals to perpetuate fraud
npon their creditors, and relieve them
selves of the legitimate consequences of
unwise business transactions. To this
extent j. would appear that the present
bankruptcy law should be amended. The
original purpose Of the law should be
guarded if that be consistent with the cor
rection of the imperfect portions of the
law. There are instances where it is de-
srable and commendable to relieve man
of debts which he can never discharge
and when so relieved he will be in better
position to balance his accounts then he
was before

How Insects Make Music.

curious TO look at, says Laura Roberts.

have no doubt. Its color is light
green, and just where the wing joins
the body there is a thick ridge. and
another on the wing. On this ridge
there is thin but strong skin, which
makes a sort Of drumhead
1t is the rubbing of these two ridges
or drumheads together that makes the
queer noise you have heard. There is
no music in it certainly The insects
could keep quiet if they wished, but
they must enjoy making the noise.
The katydid sometimes makes two
rubs OIL its drumhead. and sometimes
three. You can fancy she says, Katy
did, 'She did, or 'she didn't. The
minute it is very dark they begin.
Soon the whole company are at work.
As they rest after each rubbing, it
seems as if they answered each other.
