What have the charitable, penal and
reformatory institutions to do with
politics tasks the Davenport Demo-
crat, and answering it's own question,
says: absolutely nothing. The same
it true of the insurance investigation,
and of nearly all the other matters
that pertain to the welfare and the
business management of Iowa. But
the politician thinks he must give a
partisan twist to all of them in order
to hold his job
The Cedar Falls Record, still faith
full, insists that call this wall about
political bosses is the cheapest kind
of demagoguery. The political boss,
or under a more classical title, the po-
litical organizer, is a necessity as long
as we have political parties.''

"The movement in favor of the cleo

vote of the people is undoubtedly be-
coming stronger every year" observes
the Clarinda Herald. The feeling that

that they are servants of the people
universally prevails and there is not a
elected this year that there would be a
large proportion of new men on duty
in the house of lords next year.

doubts, in fact it knows, that Mr. Per-

it is not satisfied regarding the stand
he takes upon certain measures which
are of vital interest to the people OF
Iowa" He who hesitates is loser" con-
tinues the Register, land we believe
that when Mr.. Perkins had the oppor-
tunity to declare himself for vital
things he hesitated, hence-we want a
man who truly reflects live, independ-
ent republicanism and who will co.
operate in bringing about rate regula-
ton, pure food, primary election and

'"rhe fact that the greatest oppose

AS a rule those who amass treat rich

they especially enjoyed. "And visitors
help us to enjoy it, too" he added.

 COL. ZEvERLY'S TAN SHOES.
coIored Men Follow Him Through
 Streets of Muskogee, I. T.

From the New York World
 Col J. w Beverly. who probably will be one of the first United States sen- ators from the new state of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory. is trying to find the New York shoemaker who re- gently sent to his home at Muskogee, I. T., new pair of tan shoes, for which he paid SIS.
 The tan part of the shoes covering the foot were all right, but the tops were of white canvas, faced along the lace-holes with patent leather. One day last week the Colonel screwed up cour- age enough to try the shoes on the populace Before the Colonel reached his office. three blocks away. he was followed by more than 100 admiring ne- groes. When he reached his office he sent home for another pair of shoes
 During the day he received from pros porous colored sport an offer of s25 for the shoes, but upon the advice of the chief of police he sent the footwear out of the Territory.
 If those shoes had remained in the Territory or fallen into the hands of any darkey inN Muskogee there would have been a race riot said the Colonel yes- terday

Cost of ArmOr Plate.

The House passed on Tuesday last resolution calling on the secretary of the navy to report to the House all information in his possession relating to the cost of armor plate. and also the cost of an armor plant.
 This resolution should bring out some interesting facts. If the half be told the country will be astonished at the profits the armor combine Is hold ing up the government for. It's cam paign contributions are heavy, but they are but tithe of the profits it takes from the people.
 The facts are all easily ascertained, and Secretary Bonaparte may have them in hand He is an honest man, and possibly his answer to the House resolution will expose one of the great est schemes for robbing the people that has ever been devised Possibly, however, it may be evasive. The hope is that Secretary Bonaparte, knowing as he does, the inordinate profits of the armor combine, will take advant- age of the House resolution to put be- fore the people the whole truth.

Vaudeville Galleries.

Few people not in the business have any idea what salaries are paid to vaude- vile performers" said Manager Semon of the Bijou theatre For instance, in the bill which opened the summer season at our playhouse there was not q single act which drew less than s1o0 a week A salary of $50 week, even for the brefest act. Is considered rather small and no first class performer would appear for such remuneration.
 'Monologists do not draw as much as performers with what are termed novel, ties because the monologue artist, while still a potent factor In entertainment, Is the same familiar figure who has been before the public for years. Some of his jokes may be new and his songs may sound that way, but there Is a sameness about his performance that can not be avoided The cleverest monologst get from S75 a week up and people who sing are paid the same salaries.
 "The novelty acts. however, command big salaries-as much as s2oo and $500 week being paid for some specially that doesn't consume more than a few min uates. 'Shvers' Oakley, who was once a famous circus clown Is now in vaudeville and will be here next week. When with a Barnum and Bailey show Oakley got about $50 or $6o week and his board and traveling expense, while In vaudeville he draws somewhere near $50 week for an individual turn"

 The object of the table is to show that Alabama whites are voting about as well as their neighbors except per haps in North Carolina and Tennessee.
 The table is distressing, because 1t makes plain the fact that the south is becoming full of non.voting whites The shirking of public lpties is gen eral, and 1t is a matter that calls aloud for a remedy
 The Age-Herald holds that the in- telligence qualification in the consti- tuition of 1901 would be altogether sui ficient. especially if it be reinforced by the payment of the years poll tax. The years poll tax should, however, be made compulsory. Every man should be compelled to pay it. If we have good county officers there would be an increase in collections, thereby beneftting the schools, and thousands and tens of thousands of white men would cease to be disfranchised.
 The question is a broad one, and only one thing seems to be certain namely, the cumulative poll tax pro vision is filling the state with white  men who are hopelessly disfranchised. The constitution provides that the poll tax for 1901 and all subsequent years must be paid in order to gain a right to vote, and the delinquent of today would have to pay s7.50, and in 1908 he would have to pay $10 as a prere quisite of voting. This simply means that 100000 white men will not vote in this state. The cumulative feature the tax seems unnecessary, unwise and unpatriotic, because it is blow aimed at the poor, and the state needs no such safeguard.

LESSON FROM REFORM SCHOOL

From the Mobile Register.
 The Rev. Mir. Hall, prison chaplain at Pratt City and Flat Top mines, was in the city this week and preached to the congregation of Christ church with elo- qpent words Mir Hall Is doing a good work in the mines having given up his parish in Tuscaloosa and devoted himself to the spiritual welfare of the convicts to this service.
 Mir. Hall related while here an incl dent that shows the kind of training the boys are receiving at East Lake reforma- tory He was in Birmingham last week and saw the boys. 105 of them. They at tended the baseball game, as the band of the reformatory was engaged to play there, and the boys were invited to view the sport It will be remembered that 1t was said that there are no bolts and bars at East Lake, and not even a fence. The boys understand that they are there for their own good These were little incor- rigibles who were in a bad way to be- come criminals, but the state has taken charge of them and is making good citi- zens of them. No one would think of East Lake reformatory as prison house, Tor it is a school, the only difference between it and an ordinary school being that the boys are committed to it. and are ex pected to remain until they have estab- lished good character.
 Now to return to the story. These 10o boys went to the ball game in a body, accompanied by their superintendent, MT. Weakley. Arrived there, they mingled with the crowd, and got seats where they could. They were lost wholly from the personal supervision of the institution. When the game was over, the superin- tendent called out: Now, boys, it Is time to go home,' and every boy of the lot except one responded at once. falling into line and marching oa to the street cars. The next morning the one lost sheep tele- graphed that he was in town and want ed to come back. MT Weakley. you must not think 1 ran away he said. ''I got lost" And so he came home. MT. WealSley said after the incident that he would make such experiments with the boys, even if some of them should run away, for he felt that the best thing | for the boys was the cultivation in them of self-respect and sense of honor. and | that this could be done in the surest way by proving that he had confidence in | them.
