T LOOKER.ON IN IOWA !


Bows, Jan. 3.-The writer for the
past two weeks has been up in 1.-The
great northwest" and naturally has
heard more or less political gossip and
some facts. With ex-senator Funk,
by his own announcement, out OF the
running, dt would seem as tho George
d. Perkins would he the unanimous
choice Of this part of the state. Mr..
Perkins If he had more of the senti-
nents and opinions of Mr.. Cuanmins on
questions of public policy. would make
a much more enthusiastic candidacy,
this especially among the younger
crowd of politicians, but there is no or
ganized or set opposition to Mr.. Per-
kins in this part of the state. On the
contrary, every one expresses an opln-
ion that his adnlinis trative ability
would give the state a governor whose
record would we'll compare with prev
ious incumbents. The mention OF MN
lister Conger's name for governor OF
Iowa. i'm this part of the state, falls fiat.
Tt has as little behind it as when 1t was

Bee Of Burlington was offering the

point OF actual starvation and on
Christmas day the Salvation Army
gave to these former worlsmen and
their families over $4,000 worth of food
contributed by the generous citizens OF
Boston and vicinity
So here we have these facts. The
south proposes to have high prices for
cotton, even if such prices keep closed
the Fall River mills, furnishing food
and rament for $4,000 people. The
former employees of the COTTON manu-
facturers, rather than accept ten per
cent reduction in wages. prefer idleness
and to live on charity, incidentally
causing great suffering among women
and children.
Another feature of this intricate set
of problems, lis that the state of Massa-
chusetts by Il we'll enforced child labor
law, virtually caused the closing OF the
Fall River mills. for unless they can
employ child labor at child labor prices
they cannot compete with the southern
cotton manufacturing concerns that
can and do use child labor as we'll as
poor white" labor at prices no fail
River employee would even look at.
Again the southern mills by their
close proximity to the coal fields can
and do buy coal, and procure motive
power at much less than the Massachu-
setts cotton mills. To protect the MIN
ers Of Pennsylvania duty of seventy
FIVE cents per ton is. levied against
Nova Scotia soft coal, thereby further

political economist. No wonder poll

captured by the Japanese in defiance OF
their predictions awaits with lowered
flags the entry Of the triumphant ar
mics of the mikado. But the greatness
of its capture must be divided with the
glory of its defense. There is no dis
grace in the surrender for the handful
of men who have written the name of
the fort into the history of heroic de-
Tense. The glory of the siege is I'M
perishable but it is divided glory and
belongs to the men who met the push
of Japanese bayonets with a counter
thrust from every parapet and en-
placement as much as to the stormers
who would not be denied. How Stoes-
sci and his men held Port Arthur is a
tale to be told at Russian firesides as
Romans remembered Horatius. Port
Arthur has been the play ground OF
heroes-and a charnel house.
The fall Of its only. important out
post on the Pacific is a severe blow to
the Russian nation. What it's effect
