ALL AMERICAN HISTORY.

Sydney Brooks in London Chronicles:
Other presidents might have tender
ed their good Offices under similar cir
cumstances; but not one of them, not
even Lincoln, would have carried that
international authority which Mr.
Roosevelt has won for himself The
response which his proposals met with
from the belligerents themselves and
from the whole world of onlookers
gave the measure Of Mr.. Roosevelt's
standing in the opinions of his con-
temporaries. 1t was in it's way trib-
ute in the field of International poll
tics to the virtue of character.
But besides being this it was also
token of the confidence which is
everywhere felt in the intentions and
policy Of the United States Her in
Prevention was the only intervention,
under the circumstances of the NOM
ent, that at once compelled attention
and aroused no suspicion When
America, through the mouth of her
President, declared that the sole basis
of her proposals was the feeling tina
the progress of the world is set back
by war between these two great ma
tions," America was believed. There
was no disposition either in Toxic or
st. Petersburg to regard her action
as possible trap or as a screen for
the furtherance Of ends of her own.
The Presidents diplomacy acquired in
unique freedom and spaciousness from
the conviction that it was untainted
by self-seeking, and that it's motive
power was to be sought not in mere
policy, not in cold and exclusive
study of purely national interests, but
in a broad and genuine humanitarian
ism. For the prevalence of that con-
viction. which gave him precisely the
assistance he needed, and gave it him
just when he most needed it, Mr.
Roosevelt had to thank all American
history. There was implied in his
success an acknowledgment Of the
moral position which America holds
among the nations Of the world.

THROUGH EUROPEAN EYES.

In view of the lugubrious view that
many Americans take of the future of
American trade, unless the markets of
this country are thrown open to the
foreigners, the letter of a prominent
New York business man written from
Venice recently. makes the calamity
howlers look ridiculous. The letter
says:
81 can see everywhere I go in Eu.
rope that the ambition and desire OF
the people is to get into our preserves,
where they know there is plenty of
game, They have shot all the good
game in this country and like sports
men, are hunting new shooting
grounds. This matter of trade is not
unlike shooting privileges; must be
protected by law and penalties tc
keep off the poacher, who, If admitted
freely, would soon destroy all that
was valuable to us. I wish I could
quote language and persons 1 have
seen who talked freely about Ameri
ca. They really fear us more than we
realize. 1t is said freely that we are
amassing such great wealth that we
menace the Old World; that we are
building up the greatest market in the
world and coming into and sharing the
best of the markets of the world. They
do not see any way to check us unless
by making trade decker so we will
give them a share for what, if we
keep on. we will soon possess without
giving anything in return for

A sTANDPAr HAND,

1t is well known rule in certain
American game that is not baseball,
THAI the man who discards part of a
pat hand for bluff does SO to his own
sorrow about 5000 times out of 10000.
1t is fact. too, that he is generally
broke before he reaches the FORUM
ate once. The expression "standpat"
has grown to be national one outside
nacular and has been elevated to a
high place in the American language
recently. No less a parsonage than
Prof. Hadley. the head of Yale univer-
sity, when he spoke at the dinner to
the Russian and japanese peace en-
voys on September Z, complimented
the Russians as men who had 'sstood
on a pair of two spots" and showed
his intimate knowledge of the game by
amending his remarks and saying
Russia had at Portsmouth at least a
pair of kings, but it takes nerve to
call when ones adversary has all the
evidence of holding straight flush
We admire the man who can see that
the straight flush is tinged with the
suspicion of lobtail."
The editor of the Bonneville (Moo
paper called the Central Missouri Re
publican, has added to the poker-poli
tics literature a worthy composition in
which he shows good working
knowledge of both games. He declares
that he, with numerous other republi
cans, is willing to stand pat on an ace
full and he rates his hand as follows:
Ace of clubs: High wages in all in
dustries.
Ace of diamonds: The great home
market.
Ace of spades: Increasing domestic
and export trade.
Ten of diamonds: Savings bank de
posts over $3,000,00o,000.
Ten of hearts: Sounds money an6
plenty of it; unlimited credit; business
stability.
With such hand to sit behind, the
Bonneville editor exclaims:
1--WE stand pat on the republican pro
tective tariff. It's full hand, deal
us by old Nelson Dingley, God bless
him! And it's good horse sense ii
politics, as it is in poker, to stand pa
on full hand.
1--WE are standing pat and playing
these cards for a country unsurpassed
for prosperity, intelligence and wealth
by any country in the world; for PEG

of any ever known before; for future

pest school of agriculture to be found
IN any OF the states. but it is not given
over entirely to that line of study. The
engineering department is a big one
and is well equipped, as are all its
departments One of which little is
heard is the department of domestic
science, at whose head is Miss Georgi-
eta Witter Miss Witter believes in
teaching a girl all there is to learn
about the home and it's cares She be-
leyes, too, in imparting this knowl-
edge to them While they are girls and
can understand the value Of practical
and systematic teaching. The pie that
nlother used to make" is not the only
KIND in the eye of this professor of
domestic science and she has thor
cush course of household science in
her department at Ames.
Recently Miss Witter wrote a prac-
tlcal and suggestive letter to an Iowa
county superintendent of schools, who
mad asked her for suggestions as to
! teachlng domestic science in country
schools. In her letter Miss Writer
! gave some straight-from-the-sh
advice. which could we'll be followed
by many county superintendent
Among the various suggestions she
| offered are these:
First of all, make the girls feel
that oil work well dore is honorable;
that trit1es make perfection. and per-
fecticn is no trife.
| Let them learn the construction of
! the home range-nine cases out of ten
their mothers will not be able to help
them. Tell them of the different fuels
and their value.
Take UP the subject of drinking
water and tell them what constitutes
good drinking water; with this
i teach cleanliness and cleaning.
Let them make study of some of
the common starchy fools. for ex
ample the cereals. Take y. study
j how it is grown, how prepai, for use
and how and when it is well cooked
Here you may introduce corn meaI
| mush, corn bread and corn soup. In
like manner study wheat, rice and
macaroni. By working in certain
amount of geography this teaching
may be made intensely interesting.
Potatoes, fruits and vegetables
may be treated in the same way, as
may tea. coffee and cocoa"
Miss Witer is very anxious that the
study OF domestic science be taken III
in the country schools, and city
schools too. throughout Iowa. 1t cor
responds with manual training fol

Mr.. BRYAN is WISE.

The refusal of w. j. Bryan to re-
tognize in the enthusiasm displayed
over his presence at the recent Jeffer-
son club banquet in Chicago boom
Tor him as the 1908 democratic can
didate for president is one of the
many illustrations of the fact that the
Nebraskan is wise in the ways of men
and of democrats in particular Mr.
Bryan made it plain that he is not
now candidate and that 1t is not the
part Of wisdom for the party or any
part of it to start a boom for any man.
Mr.. Bryan did not declare himself out
Of politics and no one doubts that he
will, If rendered the nomination by a
reunited party In 1908, accept it and
try to turn the trick that has escaped
him on two occasions already. The
Nebraskan wants to be president, but
because of that very desire he doesn't
want boom started at this time.
The democratic party was badly
split when the 1904 convention was
held at st. Louis. The fasteners
who had the backing of the Wall
Itreet crowd were separated from the
Bryan forces of the west by a deep
and apparently unbridgeable chasm.
The agreement that was patched up
was only a half-hearted one. as was
shown when many of the democrats
went to Roosevelt rather than vote
Tor Parker and many others stayed at
home rather than vote for either. With
the light Of calm judgment and a
knowledge Of facts to aid one, it is not
hard to understand why Missouri went
republican for the first time in the
memory of many men. But Bryan un-
derstands all this. He has figured it
out carefully and he was wise when
he lodged all efforts at Chicago to
start q boom for his nomination in
1908.
Too many things may happen before
1908 rolls around. Though it looks
improbable now, there have been
stranger things than the reunion OF
the ranks of the democratic party and
a reorganization which will present a
solid front to the opposition. In such
case Bryan will undoubtedly be one

A GOOD RESOLUTION.

Muscatine Journal:-The board of
supervisors Of Wapello county at OF
tumwa at the September meeting
adopted resolutio 8 to the effect that
in cases in the justice court where the
compliments charges are not well
founded the costs shall be paid by the
prosecuting witness. The resolution
became necessity from the fact that
the increasing costs in the justice
courts had reached such an amount
that something had to be done. The

board Is duplicated in nearly every
county in the state. Here In Musca-

hauled into the justice courts. In
many instances the testimony given
does not justify the prosecution of the
case and the county is forced to foot
the bill. The justices over the county
