IOWA VS.. CALIFORNIA.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil.--A resi-
dent of southern California came back
to his old Council Bluffs home this
summer and spent several weeks here
My! but it's fine to get back to
where everything is fresh and green In
summer" he said to a friend. Seems
so strange to see the grass growing
and the leaves Of the trees bright and
green and not to have a coating OF
dust an inch thick over everything
And your green corn-um, UNI
haven't tasted green corn now for
eleven years. We don't have 1t in
California, you know. If / could I'd
come back to Iowa every summer"
So there you are. Picking sweet
corn from the stalk is as delightful tc
the Californian as picking oranges
from the trees is to the Iowan. The
absence Of dust and drought in sum-
mer is as refreshing to the citizen
from the west as the absence of frost
IN the winter Is to the citizen of the
prairie states. California is a grand
winter resort. But what is the mat
ter with Iowa as summer resort
The Portland exposition is doing more
harm to California than anything
could possibly do because it is bring
ing people out there In the dry season
and mighty few of them will go again
That was where San Francisco wa:
! wise. 1t held it's exposition in mid.
winter when such climate as 1t has
was on parade.

Is it luck that caused Theodore

luck that cavsed him to request the

THE TRAGEDY OF KANSAS.

-mporia Gazette.-There seems to
be no doubt that Senator Burton is
innocent of the latest charge against
him. The government should, howev-
er, find out who gave out the charges,
and let him go. The best way to
make friends for Burton is to Start
false stories about him. Human ma
ture won't stand for persecution of
any man, and Burton has had enough.
Speaking of Burton--how well he
exemplifies the tragedy of Kansas.
Fate seems to lift Kansans up only to
let them fall-and be shattered by
they fall Lane died suicide; Pom
seems to be set by some sinister dra-
matist, who slsillfully works the lives
Of the Kansas heroes up to a climax
OF human desires, and then-crash
they fall. Lare died a suicide; Pom
eroy lived t. see his disgrace; Ingalls,
was crushed by blind fury OF the
people at the zenith of his power.
Consider tie great men of Kansas,
and note how few of them have come
tc normal peaceful end And how
natural Is the fall of Burton-in Kan
sas. Fs. }, the eagle. takes Kansans
up like turtles, only to drop them to

sadOr at st. Petersburg to ask an au
dience with the czar A long dispatch
giving detailed instructions as to what
to say, went to Mr.. Meyer, and on
June he was received at Tsarskce
Selo.
By Encouragement the car on the
same day received a letter from En-
peror William. The kaiser voiced
sentiments similar to those of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and, influenced by the
heads of the two great nations, the
car consented to join in conference
with the Japanese.
Sure of his ground, for Japan had
all along agreed to hold conference
if Russia's consent could be gained,
the President on June s sent dupl1-
cate notes to Toxic and St. Petersburg
containing the formal proposition for
peace.
On June the note was made pub

June 10, the Japanese acceptance OF
the Presidents proposal was received
The Russian reply did not come on
that day, nor on the next, Sunday.

the matter finally simmered down to
an agreement on Washington, and an
announcement was made of this on
June Is.
Then it became known that Wash
ington in summer was not fit place
for holding a long conference. and
| after considerable negotiations it was
decided to hold the session at Ports
mouth going to Washington when the
weather became cooler if the confer
ence should last that long.
The question of the personality OF
the plenipotentiaries hung on for a
long time, until finally Japan named
Baron Komura and Mr.. Takahira and
Russia M. Nelidoff and Baron Rosen
Later M. Nelidoff was replaced by M
de Witte as the senior Russian pleni
potentiary.
The two countries agreed that the
conference should begin early in All
gust. The Japanese ENJOYS were the
first to assemble in New York and the
Russians followed. They were pre-
sented to the President and made
their way to Portsmouth to fight il
out by themselves.
