TOPICS Of the Times

The man who always stands pat
Mr.. Perkins knows this. He stands
pat and draws cards. This isn't just
according to the game as expounded
by eminent authority. However, it is
Mr. Perkins game.
Prof. Adolph Chuck, of Chicago, has
entered into an obligation, under pen
atty of $4,000, to speak the truth for
one year. His salary is the same as
that of Joseph Blythe, general solicitor
for the Burlington. There the simil-
arity ceases.
When Elijah Dowie addressed Miss
Hofer as MY Little Lump of Gold,' he
added a new one to the terms of en-

one so practical as Elijah could be so
poetic, and still stay so close to the

Congressman Longworth' seems not
only to have married the presidents

is not believed that there will be any
other nomination for representative in
the county. For the first time in our
political history, by the general wish,
probably, the nomination will be rati-
fled by unanimous election In this
connection a short extract from the
nominees speech will prove illuminat-
ing on the situation in Kossuth. Said
Rev. Holmes: Regarding the men

pay for them on the installment plan.
The above appeared in a late issue
! of the Journal. The Journal was pro-
vol<ed because The Tribune and the
Times-Republican pointed out that the
Journal has not stood with Roosevelt
in the matter of a court review amend
ment for the railroad rate regulation
bill.
Last October the Sioux City Journal
took issue squarely with Roosevelt by
asking why it wouldn't be all right to
let the courts fix the rates, and not
give the interstate commerce commits
sion any power to do so. Last week
the Journal stood for suspension by
the courts of rates fixed by the COM
mission. When The Tribune pointed
out these facts the Journal replies
with the above, argument.
But perhaps the Journal will say
further that Senators Elkins, Aldrich,
| Foraker, Kean and Spooner know a
great deal about constitutional law.
The Journal has stood with these rail-
road senator's in arguing for "constl-
tutional" railroad rate law.
And perhaps the Journal will go
| farther and say that what Senator Dol
| liver doesn't know about CONSTITUTIONAL
| law would make a series of volumes SO
large that man would be kept busy
during life time trying to pay for
them on the installment plan. Senator
Dolliver said repeatedly the law needed
no court review amendment, which the
| Journal favored.
And perhaps the Journal will go
farther and say that what President
Roosevelt doesn't know about consti-
! tutonal law would make a series of
| volumes so large that a man would be
kept busy during a lifetime trying to
| pay for them on the installment plan.
| President Roosevelt thought the bill
needed no court review amendment,
and finally approved one that does not
include a provision for suspension by
, the courts of rates fixed by the COM
mission though the Journal advocated
such a provision.

And daylight draweth to a close.

The movement to divide the school
money between whites and negroes in
proportion to their contributions crops

is danger that political rivalry for the
votes of the groundlings may soon
lead to the incorporation of this plan
into some platform In Mississippi
Governor Vardaman used it as an in
strument for climbing to power, and
in Alabama the subject is being agitat-
ed for the first time. The college pres
idents and others who are profession
alyy interested in white education
have been unfailing in their opposition
to the division.
