Iowa Socialists Stand Pat.

The socialists of Iowa met in state
convention in Des Moipes last week
and nominated full state ticket. In
their resolutions they take exactly the
same position as did the standpatters
in the last Legislature with reference
to the primary bill-they favor an
honest primary, but are opposed to
such pernicious measure as the Cross
ley BILL The resolution is as fol-
lows: "While we favor primary
election law the primary election bill
introduced in the last Legislature, by
requiring voters to state their party
affiliations, would have destroyed the
secret ballot, and by requiring xpen-
sive petitions would have made it much
harder for poor man to run for Office
than rich man. We will oppose any
primary election bill containing these
vicious features or any other pro :
visions that are against the interests
of the working classes. -
The state ticket nominated is as
follows:
Governor-John E. Shank, Sioux
City.
Lieutenant governor-A R. Clifford,
Davenport.
Secretary-Charles R. Oyler, Water

SELECTING A PUBLIC BUILDING SITE.
Statement Of Methods Employed by the
Treasury Department in Selecting
Sites for Federal Buildings.

Whenever an Act of Congress
authorizes the acquisition of site
for proposed public building
whether by purchase or gift-the
Treasury Department invites, through
an advertisement inserted in local
newspaper, bids for the sale, or pro-
positions of donation, and directs that
the same be submitted to the Secretary
of the Treasury at Washington. This
advertisement gives such information
as to the approximate dimensions of
the site required and the general con-
ditions and requirements as will
enable intelligent preparation and
submission of bids or offers
The bids and offers obtained in this
way are opened at the Treasury De-
partment in Washington at the time
stated in the advertisement, and as
soon thereafter as practicable an agent
of the Department is sent to make a
personal examination of the properties
offered. and upon this report, to-
gether with representations in writing
from other sources, the Department
makes selection, conditioned, never
theless, that the title to the property
be approved by the Attorney General.
When the land is thus acquired on
which buildings are situated which
are reserved by the party selling.
notice to remove the same is given
after the land has been actually
acquired and title approved.
Whenever the Department is unable
to obtain an acceptable site at
reasonable price in the manner above
outlined, it frequently makes selection
and authorizes the Department of
Justice to begin and prosecute con-
demnation proceedings in which the
price to be paid is judicially deter
mined.
AS soon as practicable after the
acquisition of the site, plans for the
proposed building are prepared and q
contract let for the construction there

Secretary of the Treasury.

The Auto Which Never Came.

One pleasant evening not long since
two well known young men of Decor
ah were enjoying ride through the
country near town. 1t was delight-
full summer evening, the air cool and
exhilerating, the hills bedecked with
natures richest colorings, the fields
green with waving grain. AS it be-
came dark they carelessly and listlessly
rode ON, mindful only of the enjoy
ment of the cool, bracing atmosphere
and the surprising beauty of the
natural scenery.
Now it seems that both of these
gentlemen are expert horsemen. but
they had horse that has horror of
automobiles, and their feelings may
be imagined when just ahead of them.
coming down the hill at lightning
speed, belching and putting like some
awful monster, it's two great lamps
giving it the appearance of a hideOus
monstrosity, they spied an auto.
Jumping from the vehicle with
startling rapidity they unhitched the
horse from the carriage, and huddling
to the fence at the greatest possible
distance from the road, one ahold of
each side of the horse's bride, with
their hearts in their throats they
awaited the oncoming of the death
dealing monster. They rest of the
story is short. When within few
rods of them the auto swung around
the corner onto road leading to the
right, and was in an instant out of
sight.
Quietly and serenely they rehitched
their horse to the carriage and drove
home, and to this day they have
not contided their thrilling experience
to even their most intimate friends.

The progressives made great fuss
about two of Cummins' delegates in
Chickasaw county who ignored their
instructions and voted for Perkins,
but they have nothing to say concern
ing the two delegates instructed for
Perkins who voted for Cummins in the
same convention. The latter changed
their votes first. and as the former
were Perkins men at heart, they argued
that if it was the style they would
also change and vote their convictions.
The fact is, that the former dele
gates are men worth $50, 900 each, who
do not have to sell their votes as
charged, and some papers may have
some libel suits on their hands -

The caucuses of last week give
Marion county to Perkins and Shelby
to Cummins. Gov. Cummins thus
loses his home district, the seventh,
and the Perkins managers claim that
the anti Cummins forces have $50
delegates in the convention to $40 for
Cummins. OF the 1,640 votes in the
convention 257 will be either contested
or protested, leaving l, 1888 uncontested.
The Perkins managers also claim that
majority of the delegates admitted
to seats in the convention will be
anti Cummins deleagtes.

In refusing to recognize any contests
in the state conventions save those
instituted by himself in order to secure
control, and also the submission of the
matter to a fair tribunal for arbitra-
tion, Gov. Cummins has put himself
in a hole. 1t has been perfectly fair
for his friends to buy votes, to hold
caucuses behind locked doors where
none but Cummins men were admitted,
to vote democrats all over the state,
to transport section hands, sewer gangs,
etc. from one precinct to another to
carry caucuses, etc., but when the
Perkins men contest such actions his
hirelings yell fake" "steal," any
thing to win. The fact is that unless
a man wears the Cummins tag he is a
thief, liar, a crook, and has been
bought. What is the party coming to
when men who have supported it and
its candidates Loyalty all their lives
are denied the right to stand by their
convictions without such treatment.
Is an effort being made to drive such
men out Of the party?

The Iowa commi ttee appointed by
Governor Cummins to handle the San
Francisco relief funds have reported
that $45, 504. l3 has been received from
the towns and cities of the state
outside of Des Moines. Des Moines
contributed $l2,63l.62 for the San
Francisco sufferers. The total con-
tributions of Iowa probably amounts
to $500, 600. Nearly all the larger
cities forwarded their funds directly,
instead of through the state COM

Three gallons of alcohol can be made
from one bushel of corn, and the
residue is just as valuable for feed for
stock as before. 1t can also be made
from other grains, from potatoes and a
number of other vegetables. After
the first of January the tax will be
removed and the farmers of the west
can make their own alcohol for use in
lighting, heating and power. 1t was
a sad day for the Standard Oil trust
when this bill passed congress and was
signed by the president, but big one
for the farmers of the west. The
farmers of this state were strongly in
favor of the hill and the congressional
delegation was flooded with petitions
in it's favor. The temperance element
was in no wise interested as the
alcohol to be free of tax must be made
undrinkable. -Ex.

Found After Fifty.Seven Years.

An item has been going the rounds
of the papers in this section, copied
from Prairie du Chem paper, to the
effect that a silver half dollar marked
1914 had been plowed up a short
distance south of the old fort at that
place. Mr.. Anthony Bernatz of this
city lays claim to that coin. He was
a lad only six years old 81 years ago,
living in Prairie du CHEN. and his
father sent him to a neighbor's for
fifty cents, which the neighbor owed
him. He says he remembers the in
cident very vividly, for while going
home he lost the coin just about where
it was found, and as fifty cent pieces
did not grow on bushes those days and
times were exceedingly hard, he got a
good sound thrashing upon arriving
home without the money. The in
cident came to his mind instantly upon
reading the item above referred to.

BRIDAL PARTY
IN YACHT RACE
Honeymoon Boat Far Ahead With Fair
Woman at the Helm.

New York, June 2.-The woman
skipper in the ocean yacht race, to
whose sailing her male competitors so
strenuously objected because of the
alleged danger to her, got good start
and proved that she was the most
alert sailor in the race.
Three yachts left Gravesen1 Day for
the 680-mile run to Bermuda for the
Sir Thomas Upton $1,000 cup--the
Lila, the Tamerlane, and the Gauntlet.
1t is on the latter that George W. Rob.
inson and his bride are making the
trin fer fame and the prize.
The Gauntlet is alone far ont in the
ocean, because of a serious accident
tn the Lila, and the consequent stupid
tuning back of the Tamerla1e. The
Gauntlet was making swift time with
brisk breezes slapping her sails, and
unless the searching party sent out TO-
night by the Brooklyn Yacht Club over
takes her and the Robinsons consent
to return and start anew, the Gauntlet
will win the trophy.
The mishap to the Lila occurred
near saf1y Hook ana the Tan alans

towed back to the starting point at
Bensonhurst. The Lila's main mast
was blown away. and her skipper,
