to newspapers and congressman alike.
Both are in positions where time
serving is always profitable and pur-
poseful honesty often expensive. Both
are sometimes honestly mistaken, but
their attitude toward public questions
of moment, while not an infallible test
Of their sincerity, is Individually the
truest touchstone of their usefulness.
Running amuck is one thing, and calm
disregard Of public spoliation another.
Neither conscientious press nor hon
est congressman stand for either. The
best of each is given to the public
welfare, not to private or corporate
selfishness.
Guided by the monitions of con-
science and the admonition of states
men, the press of Iowa may steer be-
tween the rocks of apprehension and
reproof Steered by the monitions of
reason and righteousness and the ad-
monitfon of the press, Iowa congress-
men NAV escape the reefs and shoals
of censure and reprinand. Let us be
mutually helpful and make one hand
wash the other to the ultimate clean
illness of the commonwealth.

NIGHT HIGH SCHOOLS.

Reports from the larger cities indii.
cate a notable increase in the number
and usefulness of night schools.
Among the cities striving for better
education is New York with q heavy
registration for it's evening school. and
in addition to it's evening school are
it's evening high schools, of which
there are eleven now in the city; and
evening trade schools are an added
feature to this seasons work The
high schools furnish instruction in Ian
,yuages. mathematics. natural science
business subjects, history, civics ana
political science, debating and draw
ing. The complete term is 120 nights.
The trade schools include the regular
night school studies, and in addition
special instructions in carpentry and
ioinery, cabinet making, pattern max
ing. blacksmithing, tinsmithing ami
machine shop practice, mechanical
drawing. electrical and steam engi-
neering, Industrial chemistry, appiieo
physics, advanced dressmaking, mil
linery and domestic science. This
course is limited to seventy two nights,
because only such students will be adj
mitted as are employed in some regu-
lar occupation during the day. The
brief course is to allow the student
some time for recreation. Another
condition of entrance is that they
must be at least Is years Of age. Still
another, that they must be fully pre-
| pared to take up the courses that are
offered.
Owing to the popularity of evening
classes and technical institutions there
has been a general rush for these new
schools. They begin the year with the
promise Of a very large attendance
and there is so much earnestness
1 among those who seek instruction IN
| these classes that it will be strange il
/ a goodly number Of those who register
do not make the most of the oppor-
tunity.

the large class on the borderland' OF
insanity and unable to carry out the
imperative duties of life when left TO
their own resources could only be estl-
mated, and the modest estimate of
distinguished medical authority was
100000.
THE results of the medical examina-
tions of young men who volunteered
for the Boer war. however, had the
most influence in starting the present
discussion regarding the deterioration
of the English race. For example, Mr..
Arnold White reports that at Man
chester 5000 out of 1900 were found
to be physically unfit to carry rifle
or to undergo the fatigue of discipline;
and even of the 5000 accepted only
1 200 had the muscular power and chest
measurement required by the military
authorities
Then follows a citation of the causes
which have led up to this state of at
fairs. There is food for thought In
the statement that "the percentage OF
deaths of children under years OF
age has been reduced greatly. Buds
which would once have fallen off the
tree in decay are saved; but the per-
sistent and propagation OF these de-
fectives burden society.

itself. nature. under the Darwinian
law. settles the matter by allowing
only the fittest to survive. The pagan
Greeks applied that law artificially te

WAR HAS BEEN DECLARED.

The demand for party harmony has
put an end to the hope of reciprocity
or tariff changes in the present con-
gress, but there is one political leader
who recognizes that reform of tariff
abuses must begin at home in the con-
aressional districts and that man de-
livered powerful address in Des
Moines last evening. Captain Hull had
called upon Iowa to get in line for
Secretary Shaw for president, because
Shaw belonged to- Iowa, but the public
man speaking i'm Des Moines made it
clear that many men in Iowa were GO
ing to ask that their candidate stand
for correct principles before they gave
him support Formal notice that Mr..
Shaw would have to fight for the dele
CATION from his own state was the
headline feature of Governor Cummins'
address.
The readable portion of the speech.
however, and the words that held the
attention OF a great audience for sew
era1 hours, were the governors clear
and strong declarations in favor Of the
principles Of a protective tariff and
the change Of schedules that abuse
these principles in favoritism toward
great special interests. Excessive
schedules that enable the steel trust to
capitalize it's tariff at a billion of dol
lars and issue stock against it, like
schedules that enable the sugar trust
and other trusts to do the same and
to exact from the American people ex-
orbitant prices with which to pay
dividends on this capitalized tariff.
while their products are sold at less
prices in the markets of the world are
to be changed when Cummins and a
majority like him go to congress.
Going to congress, too, was probably
the keynote Of the Des Moines speech.
Mr., Cummins declared that birds of a
feather flock together, that the ma
chine politicians, those opposed to the
presidents rate regulation, were, as
a rule, the same men who opposed all
reciprocity treaties or changes in the
tariff and that if any reform is to come
at all it must come from the men who
as a rule, believe in all of them, who
are opposed to standing still or stand
| ing pat. The very strong suspicion
| that the governor will run for congress
| in the Seventh district gave the aud
I fence almost live wire connection
with his every sentence.
LaFollette's statement in Des Moines
/ this week that Governor Cumnins is
waging the fight Of the people in Iowa
against the railroad influence in poli-

democratic leader in coming over to
Cumnlins because the democratic as
well as the republican party in south
! ern Iowa, has been dominated by the
| railroad pass, is significant of mighty
struggle about to be waged in Iowa
politics. Every honest citizen should

a fair hearing, and size up the situation

THE PRESS AND THE FORUM.

Congressman Lacey, speaking to
Iowa Press Association on the public
Domains subject upon which he is
pre- eminently fitted to inform and en-
large-rnade slight discussion to am
other public field, the press. and told
his auditors:
Courage and conscience are the
foundation Of all good newspaper
work; but courage is not demonstrated
by running amuck at everything in
sight, and dyspepsia should never be
mistaken for conscience. The
EDITORS stool is seat Of power, but
when the power is abused its influence
is weakened The sincerity, the car-
dor and the fairness of the editor are
his surest source of strength with the
people. The silent and earn
est opinions Of the readers Of the
press are often difficult to fathom.
The noise Of the shadows should MOI.
be mistaken for the tide Of the depths.
This is excellent. OF all the advice
and admonitfon gladly received of late
by the press from the forum, none has
been better. When Mr.. Lacey lists
courage. conscience. sincerity and
fairness as the best attributes of a
free press he rings the bell. He might
have added capacity, but this will be
taken for granted. The basic qualities
are courage and sincerity, the one to
seek the right, the other to do right.
Mr.. Lacey's idea that newspapers
true strength Is in it's honesty of pur-
pose and expression is entirely correct.
To stand for real reform, for popular
rights and the good of the greatest
consistent Is the duty and glory Of
Journalism: to oppose needed REFORM,
support special interests against pub
lie good mortgage the future for pres
ent advantage, offer arrogance to
weakness and subservience to strength
is its dereliction and disgrace. Hon
est newspapers will accept Mr.. La
cey's system of classification, not as
anything new. but as the repeated
statement Of an old and excellent rule.
The practical value of sermon is in
it's application. Mr.. Lacey naturally
and properly dealt with the general,
not the particular. 1t was not for him
to align the sheep and the goats OF
Iowa Journalism Nothing, however,
need hinder individual readers and
voters from applying Mr.. Lacey's rule

If George l.. Dobson had been in

walks. Mr.. Dobson knows what a hard
frost looks like.
When Hon. Pete Hepburn's friends
came in on him the other night he re-

President Roosevelt's success in the

enough to tackle the football problem.
