SCORE ONE FOR THE WEST.

Indications that the west is grow
Ing more and more independent of the
east In a financial way are being
given with increasing frequency. Time
was when the west, with all it's agri-
cultural wealth, had to look to the
bankers of the east for money before
it could move its crops or finance any
enterprise that took a considerable
amount Of money. Now that time is
passing. The money is flowing west
ward.
Two years ago, when it was an
nounced that the eastern moneyed men
would not be called upon for assist
ance in moving the crops of the west
there was considerable surprise
throughout the country. The eastern
ers were surprised, probably more
than the westerners, but both opened
their eyes at the hitherto unheard of
action. And the eyes were stretched
Wider when the crops were moved sue
cessfully without importing money.
Then Kansas man took a big bond
issue from under the very noses of the
bankers Of the east and there was an
other look of shocked surprise on the
faces of the New Workers. But the
cap sheaf was put into place by FEES
tus ]. Wade of st. Louis when, re-
Gently, he purchased the $2,50O,OOO
Philippines bond issue. Mr.. Wade
gave two reasons for his deal zone"
he said, was to show the. financial
condition of st. Louis is still pretty
healthy after the Worlds fair and the
other was to make money! He was
successful in both undertakings and he
has scored one for the west. 1t is not
to be expected that city is in as good
condition financially Immediately fol-
lowing a worlds exposition as before,
but Mr.. Wade has shown st. Louis to
have little money left, at any rate.
And he has done more-ha has opened
the eyes of the east to the resources of
the limitless west

THE Jamestown ExPos,r,on

lea now that it is hard to give them
the prominence each should Lave and

is to be held in 1907, and is to com

establishment of the first permanent

and deserves national interest. Coming
as 1t does, so soon after the st. Louis
worlds fair, however, it will not re-

would command So many fairs of
one sort and another are being held
in this day that the novelty attending

ones will be in danger of being
neglected.
Nevertheless, the Jamestown fair
will secure considerable attendance.

for a naval display, ard this is intend

JOHN HAYS. RECORD

The whole American public is
watching with interest for news of the
condition of John Hay, secretary Of
state. Mr.. Hay is now on visit to
Europe with his wife and his sudden
attack of illness just as he boarded
the transatlantic steamer at New
York has caused a feeling of anxiety
for his future health among his many
friends and admirers throughout the
country. 1t has also given rise to the
question as to whether Mr.. Hay will
ever again take up his work as secre-
tary OF state and already Mr.. Taft is
being spoken of as his possible success
sor. Though Mr.. Taft would no doubt
serve the country well there is general
regret for Mr.. Hays threatened re-
tirement and nationwide hope that
he will recover his health during his
visit in Europe.
Mr.. Hay has had long and active
career during his 81 years Of life. AS
one of Lincoln's private secretaries his
public life began at the beginning Of
the civil war, and it has lasted, with
only few periods of interruption. up
to today. For few years after the
war he was secretary of legation at
Paris, Madrid and Vienna, and was
charge d'affaires ct the last-named
capital. He was assistant secretary
of state in the latter part of Hayes
administration, was ambassadc. to
England in 1928, covering the period
OF the Spanish war, and has been
secretary OF state since then. In the
intervals OF his service in public posi-
tlon he has held responsible positions
on prominent newspapers.
No man who has ever held the post
of secretary of state, except John
Quincy Adams, has had such through
training for the duties of this office as
has Mr.. Hay. He has learning, wide
public experience, Lroad knowledge of
the politics and the history of all the
great countries of the world, and large
personal acquaintance in many of them
through service in them in diplomatic
station There is no political prece-
dence in cabinet posts in the United
States. We have o first minister in
our executive end administrative sys-
TEN. Yet, from tho beginning of the
government, presidents have always
selected particularly strong men for
leads of the state department. These
nave included such prominent states
men as Jefferson, Madison, John
Quincy Adams, Clay, Webster, Calhoun,
Cass, Seward, Everett, Blaine, Bayard,
Sherman and many Others. Except
Madison, Adams, and one or two 9TH
ers, the service of the present secre-
tary of state has been the longest in
the country's annals. Among Ameri-
cas- great foreign ministers John Hay
will always hold prominent place.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

"Kuropatkin has done what few
commanders of armies will do,'' says
the Centerville Iowegian. "after being
superseded by personal rival he has
volunteered for a position of lower
rank and gone back to front to lead a
detachment of the army he previously
commanded"
The failure of firm of stockholders
in New York that catered to women
gamblers is taken by the Keokuk Gate
City as one of the signs of the time
and also an omen of good luck for the
women.

VICTORY.
It's all over now.

The influence that began eight
years ago with the election Of T. J..
Phillips as mayor of Ottumwa has met
Its Waterloo; its end has come, and In
its place will reign supreme the doc
trine Of the SQUARE DEAL.
The election yesterday resulted in
a great victory for the republicans Of
Ottumwa. 1t was great victory be-
cause it was won in a hard contest
The republicans elected the mayor
and every other candidate on the ticket
with the exception Of treasurer and
two ward aldermen. This means in
addition to the mayoralty, gain of
one alderman at large, making the
council seven republican to two demo-
cratic, and the gain Of the police Judge
and the city solicitor. The republicans
lost the second ward alderman but
won In the sixth. The newly elected
auditor and engineer succeed them
selves and the new assessor, a repub-
lfcan, succeeds republican. The
city treasurer, a democrat, succeeds
himself.
With the victory comes also re-
sponsibility, and the republicans who
have been given the task Of guarding
the interests Of the city will realize
this responsibility and will discharge
their duty to the citizens after the
square deal plan suggested by Mr..
SHUTS In his address to the republican
city convention when he was nomi-
mated. The laws are on the statute
books to be enforced and now the re-
publican officials have been charged
with the duty of enforcing them, their
duty and their responsibility is clear.
The majority of the voters In OF
tumwa have expressed themselves in
favor of law and order and decency.
They are tired of the "wide-open"
good fellow kind of loose administra-
ton of which they would have been
assured had the democratic candidate
been elected mayor yesterday. They
wanted to give the law abiding citi-
zens an opportunity to try their hand
at administering the affairs of the city
and they voted for Suits and the
other candidates on the ticket which
he headed.
It was a hard fight There were
many who feared for their business
prosperity If the republicans won.
There were others who feared that
lney would not be given the opportu-
nifty to enjoy themselves sufficiently
IN city governed by the republicans.
There were others, though, who
wanted to put an end to the influ-
ences that have given Ottumwa rep
utation as one Of the most wicked and
disreputable cities in Iowa. These last
were happily in the majority. Decency
won out in a contest that was one Of
the hardest Ottumwa has ever known
In q city campaign.
In giving credit for the victory-for
credit is certainly due some one-the
name Of City Chairman /. H. Hammond
Is the first to come up before the
minds eye. Mr.. Hammond organized
his lieutenants well and effaced any.
fractional feeling there might have
been within the party, leading it to a.
splendid victory. Credit is also due to
the republican candidates, each Of
whom went into the race to win. All
DeIter light was probably never
made in any city campaign in Of
tumwa than the republicans made this
Spring.

Referring to the bogus Hull inter-
view, the Nevada Representative
says: There is a newspaper man in
Sioux City who formerly lived in Des

whom he does not like. The Sioux

wise answerable for an interview that

vent his being quoted through that
channel"
