the Delegates.
 After enjoying a palatably prepared barbecue, excellently served under the supervision of committee of Post A" the delegates and visitors spent a few minutes in dancing and walking over the grounds, and at 3:45 o'clock the convention again resumed it's work.
 In introducing Charles F. Moritz. the speaker of the afternoon. President DeWees said that the convention had had a number of treats. but the best had been saved for thes last. He re- ferred to MT. Moritz as the silver tongued orator of Mcntgomery."
 Mr Horitz's subject was The Good of the Order" and his line of thought was delicious. A happy vein perme- ated his informal talk and the impress sion he created on his hearers was striking In the beginning he alluded humorously to the length of the time allotted him to Speak. but promised his audience that he was going to'take up only about ten minutes of the hour granted him by the eo...mittee.
 He compared National Secretary La Beaume to great orator of ancient times, such as Demosthenes. crowned with a laurel wreath, and. though Gi- recting a little fun at the national oficer, he did not fail So pay him high tribute. He wittiiT referred to 1T P A s in the halls or Legislation. and said that members of the order would nrobablv soon be found in the Railroad 6,ommission. There was a rustic and all eyes were turned upon a partially hald headed Birmingham delegate.
 Some think, said Mir. Moritz, that the T. P. A. is made up of nothing but travelling men. He said that the asso- citation was composed equally as mush of employers as the employed. They were all the men behind the guns
 There were several things in the way or reforms that the association was working for, he said. and they were hotel facilities. fire escapes, sam jtation and interchangeable mileage. MT. Moritz advocated as rules which should guide the members of the asso- clation. the biblical texts: First. "Be.

THE NEW STORY.

The T.-R. today begins publication
of one of George Barr McCutcheon's
best stories-"Brewster' Millions" 1t
is unique from the fact that it is not a
description of the struggle to ac.umu-
late million but of desperate effort
to spend it. The hero, heir to one
fortune of a million dollars receives
another legacy of seven millions, con-
tingent. however, on having, within a
year, spent the last cent of the fortune
he already possesses.
How he manages to do this, the in
Vulnerable difficulties thas confront
the man with a contrast to honestly
spend a million a year, along with q
pretty love story and innunerable in
cidents grave, gay and adventurous
make up the sum of very clever, fas-
cinating and readable story. There is
plenty to stir the blood, awaken senti-
ment, and arouse mirth in the seventy
two columns of "Brewster's Millions"
Moreover there is not dry column or
a strained situation in the entire story
The T. R., anxious to offer it's readers
none but the best of the new fiction,
unhesitatingly recommends this as one
of the best efforts of the author of
"Graustark."

The rain song of the robin in the sum-

In the thunder and the lightning does

Or, with prophet eye, enraptured, does
he see the darkness past,
And the beauthy which shall blossom

SLEEPING OUTDOORS.
IDes, Moines News.]


We used to pity the tramp because
he had to sleep in a haystack.
1t was thought to be hard life an
uncomfortable lot and the ruination of
health.
But that was in another age than
this
Today it is the man with more bed
rooms in his house than he knows what
to do with. and with so much space in
his yard that tent is deemed an or
nament to it. who is discovering that
the once commiserate tramp was wise
and had good thing.
All the way from the crowded tene-
ment districts to the furthest reaches
of the suburban railways the man who
might lie upon a mattress under covers
of down may be found sleeping out of
doors
He is getting so common that peo-
pie soon must cease to admire his au-
dacity and to listen wonderingly to his
tales of full lungs and spirits at the
waking hour of dawn.
City bred people are making the dis
covery of new heavens and a new
earth. They are becoming acquainted
with the mystic world of the dawn.
Is the sunrise really so charming
as the poets and artists picture it?
Not if you burst upon it rudely with
sleepy eyes by throwing aside a cur
tain; not if you have been making an
owl of yourself all night or are forced
to get up for an early traint-then the
sunrise is an unwelcome and a re-
scented force.

But seen under right conditions
met half way, as it were, and in SYM
pathetic spirit, with the mind sweetly
awakening with the day, and with the
day, and with the rich glow of the
eastern sky flooding into the open soul
then the sunrise still is. as it hts
been thru all the ages, the most glai-
ious phenomenon in nature.
Perhaps one reason why 1t is so hard
for US properly to appreciate the dawn
is that we do not go early enough to
bed.
This has become an electric light
civilization.
We try to turn night into day and
only succeed in turning night wrong
side out.
Ought not the child's horror of go
ing to bed IN the dark suggest that
perhaps the evening twilight, so little
regarded by us, was designed in the
uses?

TAX FERRETs.
Dubuque Times.l

The supervisors of Woodbury. coun-
ty, by vote of to 2, have decided
to employ the tax ferrets for another
two years. The resolution was sup
ported on the ground that the ferrets
had brought revenue into the county
treasury and was opposed on the
ground that they had driven some
owners of securities to take up their
residence in other states so as to es-
cape tax liability in Iowa on intangible
property.
The laws relating to the taxation of
personal property should be such that
the liability could not be escaped by
removing to another state. This liza
bility should not depend on the situs
of the owner. The present law is UNI
just because it attaches to the individ-
ual resident owner of mortgage a
liability that does not attach to the
bank or the nonresident competing
with him for the loan. 1t is unjust
for the further reason that, as it may
be evaded by many simple devices. it
exposes the individual resident owners
of mortgages to temptation to which
they commonly yield The true rule is
to attach the liability to the instru-
ment itself, regardless of ownership.
This rule the federal government fol-
lowed when it imposed a stamp tax on
mortgag es during the Spanish-Ameri-
can war.

illustrates the reluctance of good men
to submit to the injustice involved in
our present laws relating to the taxa
ton of securities. The board of re-
view of Cook county, Illinois, has de-
cided that his estate shall be taxed
this year on total of $1S0,000,000 and
that it shall pay the county $2,S00,O00
in taxes. This includes the taxes for
seven years past on $15,000,O00 of per-
sonalty Mr.. Field when living did
not pretend to meet his tax liability
under the law. He merely said to the
assessors and the boards of review
that he would pay on a certain amount
and would change his legal residence
If his assessment We're raised above
the amount proposed by him. No doubt
he believed he was bearing his just
proportion of the tax burden, For the
law which put him in position to de-
eide this question for himself during
his life the responsibility was not with
him but with the legislature.

Mr.. WILDER WRITES.

Editor Times-Republican: If the
people will continue to support pro-
gressive men like Senator LaFollette,
they will in a few years see the enorm-
Gus tax they are paying the corpora
tons greatly reduced.
In an interview published in the
August number Of Progress the senator
says he has figured out that the net
cost of the railroads, based upon the
cost to reproduce, was not over $4,000
per mile, and that ON that basis the
valuation Of the whole system in the
United States is approximately s5,0O0,-
100000, whereas the bonds and the
stocks on the railroads are today SELL
ing at something over $4,000. 100000.
In other words, there is $S,000,000,000
of water in railroad valuations in this
country, and that the people of the
United States are paying interest on
this sS,000,000,000, which, say at per
cent, is an unnecessary tax Of 100000
900 year.
Senator LaFoIlette proposes to force
the railroads to so reduce rates that
the return will only pay them what he
considers the reasonable cost of the
namely on $4,000 100000.

SAME FIGHT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

There is a striking familiarity about
the campaign now in progress in the
state of New Hampshire. Four cam
didates are seeking the republican
nomination for governor. Two of them,
Greenleaf and Floyd, are designated as
railroad candidates, while two others.
Churchill and Pillsbury, are reform
candidates. Churchill assails openly
the corrupting influence Of the Boston
and Maine railroad in the politics of
his state, and demands the abolish
ment of free passes, just as Iowa re-
publicans have done He demands full
valuation of railroads for taxation and
election of railroad commissioners by
the people Iowa has both He de-
mands the prohibition of corporation
election contributions, just as the re-
cent republican pla tform in Iowa has
done He would register and watch
all lobbyists, and demands primary
election law, just AS the recent Iowa
republican platform has done.
1t is the same fight in every state.

But il there could have been left out

REFORM GOES MARCHING ON.
rBaltimore Sun.l


The platform adopted at Des Moines
on wednesday by the republican state
convention of Iowa contains a plank
declaring for the enactment of a pri-
mary election law which will provide
for the nomination by direct vote of all
candidates for offices to be filled at the
general election" including the selec-
ton of United States senator's" This
shows the wide and widening accept
ance of the idea advocated by the Sun
for adoption in Maryland. The prin-
ciple. as stated by the Iowa conven-
ton, Is "the enlarged participation of
the individual voter in public affairs"
Deputing the task of selecting sena-
tors is well enough in theory but ex-
perience shows that the trust is apt
to be abused. and it IL In any case bet
ter that the citizen. if possible, should
help to select the man whom the leg
islature is to elect senator.

THE WATERLOO CONVENTION.

Two principles of old fashioned
bourbon democracy seem destined to
endure: hatred of the protective prin-
ciple and fondness for whiskey. The
principal features of the platform
adopted by the delegates at Waterloo
cratic position on tariff abandoned at
st. Louis. on strictly revenue tariff
and declaration in favor of Iowa
whiskey peddlers and shippers. Some
what in regard to cent passenger fares,
a primary law. and corporate interfer-
ence was padded about and between
these two principal declarations as
bran is packed around eggs to keep
them from shaking. 1t appears to have
been due to the efforts of Jerry Sulli-
van and Jim Weaver that other and
open declarations in favor of the liquor
traffic were not incorporated into the
platform. Sized up by and large the
Iowa democratic platform favors free
trade and free whiskey.
Its declarations favoring primary
law and condemning corporation inter-
ference inpolitics are discredited by the
history of the party in the last leg
islature--wnere the solid Iowa dem
ocracy voted with the corporation gang
day by day and sold the possibility of
statewide primary for the mess of
pottage that gave Whitmer another
mans seat in the legislature. The in
consistency that opposes reform with
It's vote and lauds it in it's platform is
q democratic characteristic. The Wa
terloo platform points backward to the
democratic record in the last general
assembly to its own discontinue.
What honest republican vote is this
platform able to attract? Can the sin
cere standpatter turn from a republic
can platform that reiterates the hon
ored principle of protection to a DEM
ocratic demand for g. tariff for revenue
only without qualification? The DEM
ocrats in Iowa have offered him his
choice. He must lay down, not only
the fetch of Interchangeable tariff
schedules but the principle of protec
ton on which all republicans are
agreed as a creed and confession of
political faith, in the booth where he
vents his anger and disappointment by
voting against the republican ticket
this year The Waterloo platform
makes his apostacy complete. If such
republicans there are in Iowa, the par
ty can spare them and win without
them.
The best of the Waterloo convention
is the candidates. Claude Porter, of |
Centerville, nominee for governor, is |
a representative citizen of Iowa, man
Of parts and integrity. His record in
the Iowa senate is 'one which all citi-
zens approve. John Dennison of Du-
buque nominated for second place on |
the ticket, has no record of official
but bears Il good name from
those who know him best and has a
state wide reputation as an orator
Both men are big enough and clean
enough to appeal to the vote of their
party. Neither is likely to draw any
considerable strength, even from that
faction of the republicans that still
feels the sting of defeat.

| first trial. In Nebra ska two candidate.
for United States senator are beating
the bushes on the same issues. Ii
Iowa the anti-railroad faction has wor
and has Incorporated the whole list OF
common reforms into the platform OF
the republican party.
In New Hampshire, however, such a
result is not SO certain. Describing
the situation, ex-senator William E
Chandler said recently in Washing
ton:
The republican state convention
ought to adopt these measures and
nominate Mr.. Churchill or Mr. Pills
bury But the railroad army has been
set to work all it's emissaries ride
free, the convention is likely to be
seized by the old free pass gang, all
reform kept out of the platform and
Greenleaf or Floyd nominated. Which
one is to be the candidate will be- de-
termlned as the canvass progresses,
and the candidate, the convention, and
the party organization will be unyield-
lngly held as the absolute property of
the president of the Boston & Maine
railroad, sitting in his office in Bos-
ton.
Even under these conditions New
Hampshire would be likely to reform
itself to the extent of defeating the
nominees of the railroad, We're it not
for the slavery and worthlessness of
the democratic party. which is under
deeper and cheaper bondage to the
railroad than the republican party. Its
convention delegates will come to town
on free passes and will not declare
against free transportation nor in any
specific way i'm favor of reform meas
ures.
Its candidates and it's committee
will be owned by the railroad, secured
at very low prices. For fear that the
democratic party may possibly pre-
vent a republican victory. the conven-
ton will denounce the tariff and de-
mand it's destruction in state almost
wholly dependent upon manufactures
for its abounGing prosperity, and so
the democratic party will go stupidity
forward in it's usual pathway of de-
feat. it's eyes blinded, it's feet hobbled,
and it's brains benumbed by the chief
lawyer of the railroad, whose principal
employment is to so control the demo-
cratic party as to prevent the posi-
bility of republican defeat in New
Hampshire election"
Don't let us obscure the real victory
at Des Moines in contemplation Of
more or less abstract statement of
protective tariff principles:
I'VE are unalterably opposed to the
domination of corporation influences in
public affairs
The abolishment of the free pass is
a most important STEP"
we pledge ourselves to the enact
ment of wise and judicious primary
election law"
These and like epigrams in the re-
publican platform adopted at Des
Moines last week, should be emphasized
as the strong lights of the real cam
paign which was waged in Iowa. The
same campaign is in progress in nearly
every state in the union. 1t is not vet
ended in the nation at large.

nHEY HELPED TO "cHoRE. ].

webster City Ffeeman-IribuneJ
A short time ago it was recorded in
these columns that hen setting on a
nest at the Bickford farm just north
of this city had left her eggs to
mother a little pig which had gotten
upon friendly terms with her while she
was sitting upon her nest. For some
time the hen and the little pig We're
inseparable friends. Franklin county
now comes to the fore with the story
of rooster which was sitting upon
nest of eggs and would apparently
hatch them. An occurrence at the H.
I. Yungclas farm west of this city,
however, puts both these stories in the
shade. For a week Farmer Yungclas
has been unable to get a milking from
his herd of twenty mich cows and an
investigation showed that the spring
pigs, which were running with the
cattle, had learned to suck the COWS.
Affairs at the Yungclas farm have
been considerably disarranged during
the construction of the big Yungclas
drainage ditch and hence the farmer
has had little time to attend to his
stock A herd of some eighty spring
pigs have been running at large in the
meadow with the cattle. For many
days the hired men have been able to
get no milk from the cattle with the
exception of two or three COWS which
gave the usual amount. 1t was a
mystery to the family where the milk
was going until close watch upon the
cattle revealed the fact that the pigs
had learned to stand upright on their
hind legs and suck the cows. With
the exception of two or three, the cows
permitted the little pigs to suck them
and consequently there was little milk
for the farmer.
Mr. Yungclas it is needless to say,
has taken time from his drainage ditch
to fix up separate pasture for his
pigs.
