REGARDING MR.. WALSH.

Perhaps the story has been told
far enough for the average reader to
see that Mr.. Walsh has fallen into
an unhappy frame of mind. Their.
never was strong tide running IN
his favor, but such as there was turn
ed against him. 1t is quite generally
understood that for three years or
more Mr.. Walsh has been in the SER
vice of Mr.. Hearst and his newspa-
pers This has been affirmed by him
over and over again. Mr.. Hearst has
quite recently caused it to be an
nounced that he is no longer a presi-
Dental aspirant land that being true
it is dimly possible that his Iowa rep
resentative has been dropped from
the pay roll. This is not positive
statement, but it has very plausi-
BILE look about it. 1t helps to an I'M
derstanding of the somewhat sudden
decision made by the gentleman from
Ottumwa.
Mr.. Walsh is not an old man, only
about AZ. But he has mixed more in
politics, high and low, national and
state, than any other one man Of his
years The Democrat can think of. He
plunged into the game when he was
is wears old, as a duck takes to water
when sighted. tho raised on the
prairie. Think of being ward hus-
tier five years before one is old
enough to vote. Mr.. Walsh has given
some time to law, but not much he
has never allowed professional en-
sagements to interfere with his chief
object in life, the moulding of politi-
cal opinion.

The mighty tasks before us today are
growing clear: How to break the spell OF
the three great handicaps of civilization,
viz, sectarianism in religion, partisan
ship in statecraft, and militarism, the
domination Of the sword, in interna-
tional affairs. The creed is fetter, a
stumbling block to the intellect, an
antique relic of past ignorance. The
party is a fetch, binding our states
men, cloggina, our legislative halls,
making bosses out of demagogues, and
putting the reins of municipal, state
and national control in the hands of
those who discount the student. Gis-
trust the investigator and mali2n the
culture which they affect, while the
man with the sword, buttoned and be-
laced representative of brute force,
keeping the nations ON "a war footing,
has got to 60 Like the wooden pillow,
the stone ak and the bludgeon, they
have played their part in the evolution
of the race; they have rendered a SER
vice in the discipline of man, but they
have been outgrown; they must go. And
all this mighty work must be done by
the youths of the nations. The appeal
of humanity today is to the young.
The hope of humanity, is in the school
room The destinies of America today
are being spelled out in the class
room.

there were little more than "nins
students in attendance at the Protest

five such students to the same number

Many may say that the falling Off

it is entirely due to the decay OF

More Tolerance in Relation.

AS the result of observations during
his winter wanderings Bishop Potter
says he found a marked advance in
federation on the part of observers of
all religions, 'one to the other. He says:
"After visiting southern Italy ! spent
most of the winter in Egypt and have
since been visiting American congre-
cations scattered thruout Europe. The
feature which most struck me was the
mutual good will and, fraternal inter-
course between American and Anglican
congregations, which have been more
intimate than they used to be and are
becoming mere SO. But this is a small
segment Of the large circle of the alien
alton of races and sects. The HOSTILE
ties of religions which were to be noted
around the world century ago have
been gradually softened.
II was most struck with this in
years ago, and nothing impressed me
more on my recent trip than the
changed attitude of the Arabs toward
the Christians. The Orientals change
more slowly than we, but their attitude
is now mora tolerant and more kindly.
A century ago, when the Christian was
to the Molammedan a Christian dog,
the present feeling would have been
inconceivabIe."
The Bishop said he noted that las a
| result of Christian influence the whole
creation in Egypt is now much better
treated than. ever before.

BETTER STAY IN IOWA.

Just now every train headed for the
Canadian northwest is crowded with
American land seekers and spectators.
The country is flooded with circus bill
literature in which the Canadian farm
makes the Hebrews dream of a land Of
milk and honey look like desert is-
land. The real estate Speculation and
promoter is abroad, suave, eloquent
and convincing. Men listen always to
tales Of lands unknown to them, where
pigs are born ready roasted with
knives and forks In their backs. HUI
man nature is credulous and the real
estate man, with his pipings of watt
ing wealth and prosperity, has led end
less professions of middle west emil
grants away as his prototype led the
children OF Hamelin, and not always to
prosperous fields. Some of the wan-
derers return, and their joyful content
when once back again in Iowa is the
highest compliment Of comparison.
Doubtless there is good land" in
Canada Certainly some have made
money" there. There is no doubt that
the real estate man has done we'll"
But the Iowa man who changes his
Iowa farm for the conditions of the
northwest is trading a sure thing for
an uncertainty. II he has passed mid
die life, he is piling up trouble for his
old age. If he is young and with ev>
erything to gain. perhaps the new
country offers opportunity. In either
case, he will fad that roast beef does
not run wild Nor glad raiment grow on
bushes in Canada.
The man with good start" should
study we'll before he leaves Iowa.
Travelling men who race from state to
state, and to whom the corner posts Of
nations are but crossroads, smile when
they reach Iowa, and comparing her
with all they have seen, praise her re-
sources, her opportunities and her peo-
pie. Iowa is good enough. Iowa is

SPORT IN SIOUX CITY.

Some months ago the poundmastes
of Council bluffs took a shot gun, a
CARLOAD of cartridges and whole DAY
to massacre of impounded dogs Il
was a butcherly and brutal affair ana
brought a protest from the locs'
Nonpareil and other state newspapers
Now the poundmaster of Sioux City
has broken into print with shotgun.
In Sioux City the disagreeable duty
of killing off the unmuzzled dogs is
modified and ameliorated to the otflcet
by injecting the element OF sport. AL
day last Sunday, say the local newspa-
ners. the different quarters of the city
rang to the thunder Of the poundmas-
ter,s shotgun, the yelps of wounded
dogs and the shrieks of women and
children NO battle was ever more
exciting. Up to the very jungle OF the
back garden the undaunted hunters
urged their way. They met the fierce
coach dog in the alley ard shot him
ON the spot, and, slew the untamaple
pug and the raging lapdog under the
eyes of their weeping owners.
Some Sioux Cityans are complain
ing of Sabbath dissertation and urging
that every dog should have his sun
day. Others object to shotgun fusi!-
ladies' on the streets Sunday or week
DAYS and indiscriminate Fkiling under
the eyes of women and caildren. The
mayor and the poundmaster stick to
the proverb, "the better the day the
better the deed" and announce their
intention TO shoot until the last I'M
muzzled dog expires. And there you
are.
When Mayor Sears gets thru with
the dogs he might set the poundmas-
ter and his shotgun at work on the
TIGER that makes Sioux City famous.

THEY Make FOR cUMM1Ns.


The resignation of Charles A. Walsh
as Iowa's member of the national DEM
ocratic committee and his caustic let
ter, cutting all ties that have bound him
to the party, will impress Iowa demo-
Gratis about as Mr.. Perkins bolt of the
republican ticket has impressed the
Iowa republicans.
The cases of the two men are
analogous. Two years ago it was none
other t,aan Walsh that carried the state
Of Iowa for William Randolph Hearst
as candidate for president. In that
year there was much apathy among
Iowa democrats. The universal popu
larity of Roosevelt made the demo-
cratic contest appear utterly hopeless
and the Iowa democrats allowed the
state to go to Hearst practically by de-
fault. But this did not mean that the
rank OF the party was not disgusted
with the Iowa declaration for Hearst.
iowa democracy simply debased itself
to allow Walsh to have his way. W.
w. Marsh, of Waterloo, was one who
opposed Hearstism in the state con-
vention, but lost his fight.
This year the tables were turned.
Marsh was a dominant factor in the
Waterloo convention and the Walsh
element was scarcely noticeable. Then
it was that Walsh, disgruntled, re-
signed as democratic committeeman
and declared his independence of the
national party, assigning for his reason
the charge that when Belmont and
Others secured control of the party's
machinery in 1904. it passed into the
hands of corporations.
Thus we see Walsh at outs with the
democrats because of personal de-
feat in the party of the state, and Per-
kins belaboring the Iowa republicans
simply because they exercised their
lawful franchise in keeping him from
becoming their nominee for governor.
Bur there is at least one broad dis
tinction between the two cases. Mr..
Perkins has never denied that he was
supported by the political corporations
Of Iowa and it is this element, de-
feated in it's determination to control,
that is venting its rage now by fight
ing the ticket In the case of Walsh,
the bolt is, professedly at least, against
the rule of corporations within the
dem ocratic party. His declaration is
for The right to join some other party
organization when he, finds his own
party in the grip of organized wealth.
IF the rule were inverted and applied
Inv the people of Iowa to themselves,
the Walsh letter should add many
thousands to the vote for Governor
CumminS.

MIR. BRYANS IDEA.
TS.ioux City Journal

Mr. Bryan brought forth the thought
of government ownership of railroads.
Was it original with him? Judge Van
Wagenen. of Sioux City, never fails to
smile at the suggestion.
Judge Van Wagenen was Bryan
man, but the knockings about in Iowa
persuaded him in advance of the meet
ing of the ST. Louis convention that
there was urgent demand for new
national question On a celebrated an
niversary day in Waterloo, an Iowa
town that this year has added to Its
record as a place where ideas are
fructified, Judge Van Wagenen sprung
it. The m ost that was said of him at
the time was that he was crude and
peculiar being, and the idea went up
on the shelf along with Judge Van
Wagenen.
Mr.. Bryan caught on. He took the
matter ur' where Judge Van Wagenen
left off, and Mr.. Bryan did nothing
original unless it shall be claimed that
the partnership theory with the states
was his. Judge Van Wagenen made q
few development speeches, under the
patronage Of Mr.. Bryan. and Mr..
Bryan did Judge Van Wagenen the
honor to confer with him, that he
might have the benefit of mental
friction.
Mr.. Bryan went away on his world
tour with this new plan of salvation
surging in his mind He came home
with it, and that he had it In his
luggage was surprise to the people
gathered at the port of New York.
Mr. Bryan was conservative, as If
he were putting out a feeler, when he
made the disclosure. II do not know, y
he said that the country is ready for
this change. / do not know that d
majority of my own party favor it,;
but I believe that an increasing num-
Der of tae members Of all parties see
in publi, ownership the sure remedy
for determinations between persons
and places and for the extortionate
rates for the carrying of freight and
passengers" There is an Iowa flavor
to that, as those capable Of judging
may see.
But the idea is jumped upon as
something Mr.. Bryan shuffled up in
his perambula tons in the old world.

quires to force many a good man to

The Falling Off in the Protestant
Ministry,

Whether doubt or mammon is the
more powerful factor in depicting the
Protestant ministry is not easy to de-
termine from current comment in the
religious press. While this matter is
being discussed in it's bearing upon
American conditions, similar state
of affairs is observable in Germany.
Observers it may be noted, are con-
fined to writers in American journals,
and it is curious to see that while
skepticism is alleged as the cause in
Germany of the falling off Of candi-
dates for the ministry, the reasons
operative in America are thought to
be more materialistic. The question
might be clarified if the Germans
would turn their attention to us and
give us the benefit of their view of
ourselves. Meantime we learn from
