A Hundred Year. to Come.

oh. where will be the birds that sing
A hundred years to come?
The flowers that now in beauty spring
A hundred years to come?
The rosy lip. the lofty brow,
The heart that beats SO gayly now?
Oh. where will be Loves beaming eye,
joys pleasant smile and Sorrows sigh
A hundred years to come?
Who'll press for good this crowde,
street
A hundred years to come?
Who'll tread yon church with willing
feet
hundred years to come?
Pale. trembling age and fiery youth
And childhood with its brow of truth,
The rich and poor, OH land and sea-
Where will the mighty millions be
A hundred years t, come?
We all within our graves shall sleep
a hundred years to come
No living ooul for us shall weep
A hundred years to come
Ent other men our land will till,
And others then our streets shall fill.
While other birds shall sing as gay,
As bright the sunshine as today,
a hundred years to come.

AN AMERICAN FAULT.

Reports of United States consuls
largely agree or one point, that the
American manufacturer is at disad-
vantage in competition with his Euro
pean rival thru a failure to study his
foreign market and to use statesmen
and the country is that OF native.
Our consul at Rio Janeiro complains
that the statesmen sent to South
{ America are utterly ignorant Of social
and business customs and at strong
disa svantage against Europeans who
have lived wears in the various coun-
tries where the trade battle is being
waged, and are familiar with the Gus
toms. speech and peculiarities of the
prospective customers they approach.
Similar conditions exist in the orient
where today the yankees of the east
and the original yankee are measuring
yarosticks for the stake of billion
dollar commerce. Oriental man has
maintained his separate and distinct
status commercially, because his hab
its of life differ so radically from those
of occidental man that only small
portion of the articles produced for
occidental man are suited to the GUS
toms of the oriental. This is intensified
by the fact that a large proportion of
the oriental people live in tropical
climate, while most of the occidental
people occupy the temperate zones, and
thus the manufactures made for the
latter are not as a rule suited to the
habits and therefore the wants of an
oriental tropical zone people.
In a few articles absolutely requisite
and found only in one general form,
such as mineral oil for lighting, the
oriental has accepted and adapted him.
self to the commodity offered by the
occident; but the very large proportion
OF articles offered he declines unless
they are so prepared as to meet the
habits Of life to which he and his ia
theirs before him have been accustomed.

CONVENTION SCENES.
rGrinne1 Harald

There are a hundred amusing, pa
thetic and dramatic incidents in every
convention such as the one at Des
Moines Wednesday which cling in the
beholder's memory more distinctly
than the more important proceedings
One of the numerous amusing little
incidents of the day occurred when
the convention met at three o'clock
expecting to hear the report of the
credentials committee. 1t was at TINT
time that the crowd was the thickest,
every seat in the big auditorium being
filled and hundreds still pressing into
the suffocatins; building. Two travel
ing men who lad tickets stood looking
eagerly for some seat but with small
chance of getting any when happy
thought occurred to one. Going up to
a delegate from the Second district
who was sitting with his delegation
he said. do you know Congressman
of the --th district 2" "No,'' re-
piled the delegate. well, that's the

Even in cotton goods, a universal re-
quirement for clothing in the orient
and especially in the tropical orient
he insists upon weights, widths
those to which he has been accustom-
ed for generations, and no amount OF
persuasion can induce him to accept
other patterns or styles which the oc-
cidental manufacturer may consider
equally good or even better. This
characteristic prevails with reference
to many other classes of goods success
fully sold in the orient.
1t is the knowledge of these charac-
teristics. born of long experience and
study OF this market. which has aided
the manufacturers and merchants of
troll of the markets of the orient, and
especially the tropical orient. In the
tropical orient the imports aggregate l
billion dollars annually. and of this
the experienced Europeans supply sc
per cent and steadily increase the to-
tai. while the United States supplies
but l per cent and makes practically
no increase in its total. The Europeans
manufacture goods to suit the habits
and wants of thisf tropical oriental
market, while those of the United
States who offer goods in that mar
ket take them from the general stock
manufactured for our temperate zone
occidental people. Yet a large part of
this total of $50 million dollars worth
thus drawn from Europe is ar a char
acter which the United States can
readily produce.
Not Europe but the Jap is the COM
petitor to be dreaded in China. He is
complete in the knowledge of Chinese
needs. and in his ability to supply
them and the American manufa cturer.

MOLD THE DIRECTORS.

One poor fellow dead in his tracks
another in suicides grave, women
and children homeless in the streets
and the savings of Ions; years of toll for
$4,000 poor people put In jeopardy, is
the havoc wrought in one day upon the
discovery that great savings bank in
Chicago had been wrecked by the loot
+ ine of a plunging president, and of a
dissipated cashier All this misery
and woe has come about because of the
carelessness of the directors of the
+ bank 1t makes us more charitable
E toward the Chinese custom of behead-
4 ing directors and officials responsible
for bank failures.
OF course, the Chinese law would
|. not At exactly in this country. but this
Chicago case suggests the need of
more stringent punishment for all bank
officials.
1t Is given out that the president
of the bank is a plunger in real estate
speculation. If so, why did not the
directors know it, and, knowing it, why
did they not scrutinize his banking
more closely? Why was it left to a
government Inspector to discover the
losses? 1t is also said that the cashier
dissipated with immoral women and
! gamibled daily at the race tracks. What
q specimen for a bank cashier! What
an excuse for board of directors
which would employ such a man for
| cashier!
Sympathize as we may with the
poor people who have toiled for years
denied themselves comforts, meals and
perhaps medicine that they might save
a pittance for old age, let US keep our
eyes on the real culprits. Let us not
weaken when the fugitive president
and cashier are caught. Let us not
consider the humiliation of the descent
from a 100000 mansion to prison
walls as part of the punishment, but
let us rather remember that these men
have directly caused death for several
and misery for thousands Then let us
remember the men whose duty it was
to watch and to check over the work
of the banks officials. Let us hold the
directors responsible. Let us hold the
directors of every bank responsible.
When we have done that, Spectators
and plungers will no longer qualify as
bank presidents and dissipated round
ers will not be in demand as cashiers.

GET YOUR LAND TITLE RIGHT
Hampton Chronicle.]

Hampton Chronicle.l
When a man buys farm he should
not take any living mans word as to
the title He should have it examined
by the best abstracter in the nearest
county seat ell should then take this
abstract to the most careful and crit
ical attorney that he can find, and have
him pass upon it. If there should be
any defects discovered he should not
pay in full until these have been cor
rected. If he does otherwise, he is
very certain to buy himself lawsuit,
or at any rate trouble. The time to
settle your titles is when you buy your
land. File away this abstract and your
attorneys opinion, and in case you
want to sell your land or mortgage it,
all you have to do is to have the abb
stract brought UP to date, very sim
pile matter. You then know that you
really own what you have paid for.
For example, the original patent may
not have been recorded. One of the
former owners may have been a sim
gle man and the fact that he was sim
gle not mentioned in the deed. 1t may
at some time have been sold for taxes,
and the various, steps leading up to the
tax sale may not have been properly
taken. Some neighbors may have a
right-of- way thru the land which may
not have been recorded
These are but a few of the many
defects which may act as a cloud on
the title While not interfering with
the farmers enjoyment Of his property,
it may Interfere with his disposing of it
| or mortgaging it, The way to remedy
any defect is to let the other fellow
do it before you pay down your good
money.

THE FORTHCOMING PRIMARY LAW.

The declaration of Iowa republicans
in favor of a primary election law 10
include an expression of preference Tor
United States senator, is simply a
manifestation of a strong and general
turning toward popular rule, not only
in Iowa, but elsewhere thruout the
country. In fact, Iowa has been con-
servative and comparatively slow in
this matter. Other states have long
had primary laws, more or less effective
and satisfactory. 1t is noticeable that
in the solid south the need of some
direct method whereby the rank and
file of the party which has always
been the dominant party of the south
might express their individual prefer
ences has been most felt and needed.
In Texas. Tennessee. Florida, Alabama,
South Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Geor-
eia. the voters name the senator's.
Illinois has within a few days named
senator by primary. Maryland will
fall into line if the agitation and press
expression in that state may be taken
as indicative of prospective action.
Similar provision will be added to the
primary laws of Wisconsin and Min
nesota. In states where nomination
is practically equivalent to an election
there is little question that a few years
will see laws enacted providing the
nomination of senators by direct pri-
mary. And sooner or later to judge
by the apparent trend of public opin-
ion result in a constitutional change to
direct election of national senators.
Tracing this movement back its be-
ginning is found in the Inauguration of
the nominating convention and the
cosequent notification of the constitu-
tional authority of the electoral COL
lege. 1t was the demand for individual
voice in the choice of rulers, the call
for popular rule and popular choice.
1t has taken seventy-five years for
the application Of this principle to
touch every office in the gift of the
people, but it has come to that and is
not to be denied. We are on the verge
of reversal of political methods. The
politician who gets in the way of the
primary method Of nominations is due
to be run over. The tortuous ways
of the caucus must give way to the
plan whereby the individual may reg
lister his vote and have 1t counted. In
direct primary every man entitled to
vote lays his hand on the throne of
power.
1t is not astonishing that primary
laws have failed in some instances.
1t is new application of law, new
demand to be satisfied. Mistakes have
been made in other states and are in
process of rectification. In all this
there is no argument against the pri-
mary principle. II the voting citizens
of Iowa, contrary to the view held and
expressed by Secretary Shaw, are suffi-
GENTLY intelligent and informed and
honest enough to be trusted to name
the men who are to represent them,
the Forthcoming Iowa primary law
should place with them every power
permitted by the constitution. We
have the failures and successes Of 9TH
er states for our guide. We have the
most intelligent body Of voters OF its
size in the world. Let us have a pri-
mary law fitted to its intelligence.
