No Sponsors and Maids.

The United Daughters Of the Con
federacy, in session at Gultport.
/ Miss, last week, adopted the follow
/ ing resolution offered by Mrs Car
rington Mason. of Sarah Law chapter
of Memphis:
Whereas. the Confederate re-
unions have been of late wears de-
voted more to the entertainment Of
sponsors and maids of honor than 10
the Confederate veterans for whose
benefit they We're inaugurated and.
Whereas, it is the wish of the
Daughters of the CouteGeracN that
every Confederate veteran shall have
the privilege and opportunity of Wit
Messing the unVeiling of the jefferson
Davis monument; and,
Whereas, the city of Richmond
viii be 50 crowded ON the occasion
of the unveiling of said monument as
to tax to the utmost the hospitality
of its citizens, therefore. be it
Resolved, That the Daughters ot
the ConfederaCy, i'm convention as
sembled at GulfpOrt, Miss. request
the Confederate veterans to dispense
with the offices OF sponsors and maids
of honor at the Richmond reunion,
and that the entertainments for that
aged Confederate veterans.
This resolution is calculated - be
the forerunner of future action bz
which the sponsors and maids are to
be denied positions al the veterans
reunions. In fact the subject has all
ready been broached. and iu SOME
high quarters endorsed.
It is weu enough to restrict eNeeu-
tive sessions of the conventions ta
the veterans. but We very much
doubt the propriety of eliminating
the ladies from participation IN the
annual reunion functions. II j. true
that on several occasions heretofore
the attendance Of sponsors and maids
has been so large as to render the
assembly unwieldy and burdeus0me
to hosts, guests and veterans, but iu-
stead of ruling them out entirely Mrs
Mason and her supporters would
doubtless better serve the ends de
sired by establishing in some manner
a limit TO the number to be accredited
with such credentials These spou-
sors are supposed TO be- the daughters
or lineal descendants of the grim old
heroes who assemble at these REL
unions TO rehearse their experiences
and commemorate cause which
they dearly cherish, and the presence
Of their dear ones affords the old sol-
diers more pleasure than they would
otherwise enjoy The annual re-

The Suqutoncha Canal.

Under an amended contract en-
tered into last week by the board
of Suquatoncha canal commission
+ ers Of Chickasaw county, with J. c.
F. Sprankle, OF Fort Wayne, IN
diana, the latter takes the entire
+ issue of S29, 900 of canal bonds at
par, and is to cut the canal of 10
miles length in Chickasaw county,
to be completed by April 1, 1908.
The width of the canal Is to be in
+ creased five and a half feet, or a
total width of 20 feet the entire if-
teen miles. The contractor has
/ placed a forfeit, which renders its
completion a certainty by the time
mentioned. The excavations are to
be made by steam shoveIs which
will be operated day and night un-
til the work is completed.
Mr.. Sprankle has also contracted
with the Clay county district com
missioners to cut SIX miles Of con
tinuation of the canal in that coun-
! ty by January l, 1908, at a cost Of
SIC. 900 The board Of supervisors
of Clay county in offering SIS, 900
Of six per cent. bonds received a
bid for a trifle more than par for
the issue from a Chicago firm, who
/ suggested that if the county was
! bound, or there was a lien on the
lands to secure the bonds their offer
would be increased.
In ssthe cutting Of these canals
valley of alluvial lands will be
opened and put in cultivation which
in their fertility will be equal to the
best lands in the Mississippi Delta,
and make this particular section Of
our State the richest and most de-
sirable to be found anywhere in the
South

The Democrats who opposed and
voted against Hearst for Governor
of New York, asserted as soon as
the result was known that Mr..
Hearst was politically dead and
proceeded 10 perform his funeral
obsequies. 1t now transpires that
he is likely to control the New
York delegation in the National
Democratic convention for President
in 1908. That date is a good way
off yet, but Mr.. Hearst is one of
the hardest ducks to drown that ever
entered a swimming match in New
York politics, and would easily
have been triumphant in the late
election but for the treason of high
up" members of the party who were
actuated by personal piques and
disappointed ambitions. That very
fact will develop in time and render
Mr.. Hearst stronger than ever.

SENATOR ROOSEVELT.

1t could probably be drought about"
if the President has his heart set on it.
Senat Platts time will expire in 1909.
The legislative appointment of New
York State has been so gerrymandered
in the Constitution that nothing short
political earthquake and landslide
combined can give the Democrats
control of the Senate or majority on
joint ballot. With the power in his
hands as President, with the alliances
he is making and in view of the death,
decay or downfall of all the other State
Republican leaders, Mr.. Roosevelt
could without much doubt bring about
his own election to the Senate. That
this was the ultimated goal of his ambi
ton when he entered politics and
sought office in New York City was we'll
known to his intimate friends, as the
Herald stated. That he should prefer
this Office to any other on his retire.
ment from the presidency is natural to
a man of his tempermental activity and
love for the center of the stage.
AS Senator Mr.. Roosevelt would
easily outrank in native ability, force
fulness and knowledge of public affairs
any man New York has sent to the up
per house of Congress since Seward S
time, with the exception of Rosco
Conklin. AS means of adding to the
public interest in the proceedings of
that body, Mr.. Roosevelt's election to
the senate would be great thing. He
would again be in a position where his
opponents can "talk back" Fancy
the entertainment that would be afford
ed when Senator Bailey set out to give
Senator Roosevelt a few easy lessons
in constitutional law or when
Tillman poised his pitchfork
against Roosevelt's "big stick" in the
senatorial arena! No stories of the en-
counter of our redoubtable presidential
Nimrod with bobcats, wolves or grizzly
bears would equal in interest the report
of proceedings in the Senate when
Theodore Roosevelt shall take the seat
of either the "senile old men" who now
so feebly represent the Empire State,
Therefore do we heartily wish the
President success in his longe-range
ambition-and wish 1908 were even
nearer!-Boston Herald.

FAvoRs A judy COMMISSION

State Senator G. G. Saunders, Of
Council Bluffs, will introduce a bill at
the coming session of the legislature
for the selection of district court Jurors
by regular commission instead of from
the poll books as at present. Senator
Saunders claims that political influences
sometimes figure in the selection of
jury panels now and thinks that the
commission system would remove the
jury from politics. He would have a
commission appointed by the judges of
the district court for each county. At
torneys and county officers would be
barred from the commission.
Another jury reform that Senator
Saunders will attempt to get through
the legislature is to require each coun-
ty to provide sleeping quarters in con-
nection with jury rooms for the comfort
of juries that are required to remain in
session all night.

THE CIRCLE MUST 60.

In both New York and Philadelphia
the feeling is so pronounced against the
circle at the head of the official ballot
that it's removal is the paramount issue.
There is no question that there were
enough wrongly marked ballots in the
New York contest to have elected
Hearst even after allowance was made
for the fraudulent counting which the
eourts have refused to order investigat-
ed. Three thousand voters marked in
the Hearst circle and then wishing to
vote for Jerome made a mark in the
circle at the head of the jerome column
when they should have made the mark
in the square opposite his name.
Pennsylvania has reform ballot that
was devised by the legislature two
years ago. But the circle, or what
amounts to it, was retained. That is, a
place was reserved in which the voter
could mark for the entire party ticket.
In the recent election the citizens
reform ticket of Philadelphia was not
associated with any ticket for state
officers, and this was embarrassing to
the supporters of the reform movement.
Governor Pennypacker has called the
Legislature in extra session as much to
dispose of the circle as for any other
reform.
| There are fourteen states that have
no circle at the head of the official bal
lot. In these states every candidate
must be voted for. These states are
Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida,
Idaho, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts,,
Mississippi, Nevada, North Dakota
Oregon, Tennessee and Virginia.
In Iowa there has never been the in
sistent demand for the removal of the
circle there is in the eastern states
But in this state the circle has lead to a
great deal of misunderstanding. 1t has
been claimed by the friends of Judge
Wade that he was defeated for congress
because of ballots that were wrongly
marked by voters who did not under.
stand the use of the circle. The circle
is doomed to 60 in other states. 1t is
only question of time when Iowa will
compel the voter to select the vote in
diyidually for the men he wishes tc
support Register and Leader.

Ienry A. Castle, formerly auditor of

Henry A. Castle, formerly auditor of
the postofiice department, has written
for Harpers Weekly an interesting ar
ticle in which he refers to the postoffice
department deficit. Mr.. Castle says:
"In the United States last year the
enormous sum of s46,000,000 was paid
the railroads for transportation Of the
mails, of which sum $5,OOO,OOO repre-
scented that inexcusable and scandalous
graft, the rent of mail cars, under which
item more is paid annually for the bare
use of the cars than the cars cost in the
first place." Commenting on this state
ment the Detroit Journal says: "With
this graft eliminated the treasury state
ment this year would show, instead OF
a deficit of 2S,OOO,OO0, a surplus of S12,-
100000 or S13,00O,000 even admitting
that exorbitant express rates were paid
on mail matter

The United States government paid to
the French company with respect to
the Panama canal the sum Of $4,000, 900.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican, in
order to enlighten it's readers as to the
purpose of this payment, quotes from
the debate in the house. For instance,
Mr.. Hepburn, chairman of the COM
mittee having the appropriations in
charge, gave this information: "The
work done, the buildings erected and
the materials assembled were supposed
to be, in the aggregate, in the neighbor-
hood of S40000,000 in value; but, as a
matter of fact, when we came to take
possession of those houses-3,000 or
1000 of them in number-it was found
that they were practically worthless.
They were wooden houses; and had been
unused for ten or twelve years. Build
ings decay rapidly in that climate and
under that intense rainfall of 1870 odd
inches a year. Many Of them were
abandoned as worthless, and all the re-
mainder had to undergo extensive and
expensive repairs. The machinery that
was purchased turned out to be almost
absolutely worthless. There were old
fashioned, obsolete dredges and digging
machines, railroad locomotives of a
pattern undesirable for use, and many
of them having been exposed to the
weather without any care or protection
for dozen years. When we attempted
to use them they were found to be prac-
tically worthless. The same might be
said of the cars that were there in such
great numbers thousands of them, per-
haps, but small, inefficient and weather
worn to the extent of uselessness. Our
commission has been compelled to re-
place these obsolete and worthless
machines, to renew the buildings, and
provide generally the material that
must be used in the construction from
! the stores of today"

While so much is being printed about
high salaried officials of insurance CON-
panies the interesting fact is recalled
that forty years ago Robert E. Lee was
offered the presidency of northern in

enough for those days. He wrote that
he hadn't the experience to command
such a salary. He was told that his
name was worth it. "What influence

enth and eighth grades will De given an
hour of each week. for training in sewing.
We are fortunate in having in our CORPS
OF teachers one who has during her va.
cation months improved her opportunity
to becoms familiar With this work which
is now taking its place by the side of the
work in books Of the schools of the
country. Miss Miller has studied the
work as given out at our State Normal
school and will take charge OF the classes
here. 1t is her plan to make this work
as practicable as possible for the girls
and they will begin at once on actual
mending and construction work.

pairing programs which will be given on
Friday afternoon beginning at 2:3O.
