foot held fast in the frog Of rail
road switch while string of freight
cars was backed toward him, Emil Sic

foot to pulp AS. it was torn and
ground to pieces, Emil says the foot
became numb and remained 50 foN

BOTH EYES OPEN.

From a western railway president
the Interstate railway commission re-
ceived communication warning them
to keep both eyes open on the question
of enforcing the new rate law to the
letter in dealing with the tariffs on
cotton. It seems that some of the
transportation companies were making
an effort to get the commission to
close at least one eye while they fail
ed to live up to the new enactment
for a few minutes. 1t is set forth by
this unnamed president that If the
commission winks one eye now, 1T will
nave to wink the other later, and then
to meet the competition he will have
to go into the business of wholesale
violation with the rest of the railroads
and live within the shadow of the
prison door the rest of his life.
1t is not probable that this communi-
cation will be passed over lightly by
the commission. There is lot of com
mon sense in it. There is no question
OF the fact that numerous railroads
were forced into illegal practices in
order to meet competition The rail-
roads and the commission are both be-
ginning anew now and they should be-
gin right. President Roosevelt appar-
entity selected men whom he believed
and the country believed would be-
gin right 1t Is up to them to see that
the railroad companies begin right

WAR A LOST ART

secretary Bonaparte of the navy de-
partment confesses that he is mot
sllted with that confidence in my own
omlnlscence which has been vouchsaf.
10 some OF my countrymen, but I am
quite ready to say that this happy
consumat1on (war lost art) will not
be attained in forty years or eighty or
until men have become either better
or worse than men,"
rms was his expression in address
lns the young men who were gradual
ed from the naval academy at Anna.
pois this week. He did not promise
Ihe boys that he would give them any
nghtlns to DO, but apparently it was
ms desire to at least let them know
that 1T was his opinion that the man
who is good shot with a machine
gun Will not be out of a job for the
present anyhow.
The talk of universal peace began
with the prediction that they shall
beat their swords into pillow shares and
their spears into pruning hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against
nation, neither shall they learn war
any more" And as long as there has
been talk Of peace there have been
wars and bloody wars There Is reason
to believe that, as Secretary Bona
parte says, such happy consumma,
ton will not be attained until men
have become either better or worse
than men,
1t is well to note the progress in
peace conferences, the workings of
the interparliamentary unions, the
evolution in arbitration, but in all
these there Is reserve clause. That
clause leaves the way open for war
between nations, and it will probably
never be effaced. 1t may be expunged
in sentiment, but not in black and
white of international law. Even If it
were there is no law to prevent civil
war. The insurrectionist may be a
traitor and commit deed for which he
may be shot, but when he takes up
arms against his government it is with
the knowledge that the chances are
against him in battle There is alb
solutely nothing that can stop civil war
excepting the defeat Of one side or the
other
The secretary observes in conclusion
that John Stuart Mill thought there
might be planet wherein two and
two made five, and there may come a
day when we shall have no need of
policemen or jails, of lawyers or
courts. of physicians or nurses, or
even undertakers. When that day
comes it will, perhaps, be time to think
whether we could do without soldiers
and sailors, but not before"

whole thing. 1t was not the intention
OF the leaders to have full state
ticket anyhow, as they expected ia
nominate Hearst for governor and
then trade off the rest of the ticket
10 the Buffalo bunch for support for
their one candidate
When the men who were to make
up the Independent gathering got to-.
gether they proposed to be independ-

selection of the governor and they rode
over the would-be dictators. Hearst
had gathered them there to proceed
against the t'bosses," and they acted
as they were taught and refused to be
bossed even by him and his leaders.
Mr.. Fuller is master of the state
grange and it may be suspected that
he was placed on the ticket for the
purpose of adding to it the strength of
his position. Advocates of various re-
forms always like to have some person
attached to their strings who will lend
responsibility to them. If thew can

similar difficulty, only 1t is more SER

derman Hamery of Des Moines has de-
clined the nomination of governor on
the populist ticket. He had attracted
some attention as member of the
city council in the capital city by his
opposition to things that are, and was
thought to be of good populist mater

Of chiefly.

WHY NOT GENTLEMEN

| IN MS ADDRESS to the young men be
ing graduated from the naval academy
at Annapolis, Secretary Bonaparte OF
the navy department urged upon the
members of the class the advisability
of being gentlemen. This ought tc
have been wholly unnecessary, but II
is was necessary, 1t was wholesome
! advice.
Why should not naval officers and
all men in the navy be gentlemen?
Must 1T be considered that diploma
or certificate from the naval academy
is In effect license to be a rowdy ?
The whole United States is and wants
to be proud Of Its navy. The people
OF the inland states knows little of
the men who man the ships, but the
people who reside in the coast cities
become familiar with them more or
less.
1t Is just as essential that the navy
have the respect of those people as
1t is that the inland people should
admire them for something besides the
fact that they are wearing the United
States blue. It is the men of the navy
who go to other ports, principally
American ports. 1t is essential that
they represent true American citizen
ship as they enter the cities Of foreign
countries. 1t is essential that they
represent America as gentlemen and
not as rowdies. To the question, What
is gentleman? the secretary in his
address Is quoted as follows:
Now, what Is gentleman The
question may well be asked, for the
word is grossly abused. In common
usage 1t means sometimes much and
sometimes little and often less than
nothing. AS used in the laws and re-
gulations governing the navy its essen
tial meaning Is that you and your
brother officers have duties beyond the
duties of others; that you have obliga-
tons which do not rest on all men,
bers of this community; that of you
are required a measure of self-control.
a readiness for self-sacrifice, a senst-
tiveness In honor which it might be
neither reasonable to expect or chart
table to exact of all your fellow citi-
zens.
Moreover, since whatever else a !
gentleman may or may not be he Is
and is thought of always and every
where as a man entitled to respect. It |
Is part of your professional duty, a
part Of the service due your country
at your hands, part of the solemn
and eternal obligation of your oaths
hat as officers you be known for such
and truth, such modesty Of
1emeanor and such purity of life as
will earn for you the respect of good
men. From others these things may
De demanded by religion or philoso-
ohy; from you they are but the full
illment of your promise. Without
hem you will not be gentlemen in
hat sense wherein every good officer
must also be gentleman"
That may be a little hard for the
hip men to follow, but it is one of
he obligations to the country they
AXE upon their shoulders when theyI

The stock stupidity of those theor
etical journalists is that every item
which goes into newspaper is dictat
ed by some sort Of bias, either toward
OF against the subject of the item
They assume that the man who is sci

The college Journalist, and some 9th
er people, suspect everything and ev
erybody connected with a newspaper
There is an old adage that says:
Watch the man who Is always watch.
Ing others" 1t is entirely fair to pre-.
sumo that those who are chemically
and cynically suspicious of newspaper
would run them on the basis of per-
sonal motives If they had the oppor.
tunity.
Generally speaking and where news
papers have to stand upon their merits
and do not have immense private for.
tunes behind them, the unreliable, vim
dlctive, and mercenary newspaper can
not be made success. The great mass
of the common people have confidence
IN the papers which they build up.
They want the news of the day as 1t
happens not colored to suit some
ones personal views or governed by
the pecuniary considerations involved.
An endowed newspaper, a newspaper
run along any freak line, would be a
which the people would
not abide. Such experiments have
been tried before. The people are en-
tirely satisfied to let newspaper men
run the newspapers, just as grocers
run grocery stores, engineers run loco
motives, etc.
1t Is one Of the anomalies of human
nature that there are so many people,
not in the profession, who think they
could run "a newspaper vastly better
than those who have been trained to 1t.
Journalism is to lots of people the final
resort and refuge when they have fail
ed in everything else. 1t is fortunate
for the world that so few Of the fail
ures or the disconnected dreamers get
the chance to try It.

MAKE GOOD.

Cedar Rapids Republican.-Do yor
believe it is wrong for political parties
to solicit campaign contributions from
corporations?
Do you believe that evil results fol

If SO, have you done your part
toward making solicitation of such
contributions unnecessary by contrib.
uting small amount yourself to the
national campaign fund of your party ?
During the last year contributions to
political campaign funds by insurance
companies and other corporations have
been vigorously condemned. 1t would
seem that the people generally disap-
prove of these contributions The re-
publican party took the initiative in
reform In this direction by publicly
appealing to the rank and file Of the re-
publican party through the press, and
otherwise, for dollar contributions
The need of a legitimate campaign
fund Is generally recognized Nearly
every community is DESTROYS of hear
ing the political issues discussed from
the stump during the campaign; it
costs money to maintain headquarters
and to send speakers into the various
Localities demanding speeches.; 1t will
cost more this year than ever becansc
In obedience to the popular will the
railroads are generally forbidden TO is
sue free transportation to politicians.
II the people really are In earnest,
and desire to have these large con
tributicns from corporate interests
cease, they ought 10 be not only will
Ing, but anxious, to provide their party
with campaign fund drawn directly
from the people.
Reports from headquarters are to
the effect that there has been nothing
like general response to the appeal
for dollar contributions. This failure
is to be in part accounted for because
It has been left to individual initiative
A great many people who would will
ngly hand a dollar to some one who
called to solicit 1t seem unwilling to
AXE the trouble to buy a draft or
money order, or to enclose dollar in
registered letter. Since the people
generally have demanded this reform
hey ought to back up their words by
heir deeds. This paper appeals to
very republican who can afford to do
