WHO'S WHO IND WHAT'S WHAT9
 The plot thlckens and the mystery deepens. Is there a Democratic party, and who and what is a Democrat? Here comes Charles A. Walsh, for more than twelve years Iowa's member of the Democratic national committee, sending his resignation to Chairman Taggart, declaring that the Democratic party Is controlled by the trusts and corporations, and adding; have reach ed the conclusion that the perpetuation of corrupt corporations and boss con- trol of political affairs are made possi- ble by the slavish subserviency of the individual to party name and by lack of independent action. While 1 have heretofore always been known as a partisan Democrat and will always be a stanch supporter of Democratic prin- ciples as I understand them it has been steadily borne in upon me for long time, as I come closer and closer to 8 Knowledge of the inner workings of the party system, that from the stand point of true Democracy there can be nothing worse nor more injuries to the country than the "yellow dog" party feeling that impels good men to sup port ticket of unfit nominees merely because they bear the party label.
 Well, well, we'll, and also Humph! Perhaps by and by there will be only a few Democrats, and only they will know that they are Democrats, We don't see how there can be Demo- cratic party again.

UNAPPRECLATED PRAYER.

A Cherryvale (Kansas) incident indi- cates how easy it is to get into trouble in this wicked world by following the demands of conscience. A woman in that town is asking for a divorce on the unusual grounds that her husband "annoys his neighbors by going to their houses to pray for them, disturbs the rest of herself and little ones by going through the house praying loudly at all times of the night, and at other times makes life miserable for her by praying definitely and loudly for her"
 Probably this woman's idea is that her husband is crazy, and she would doubtless find sympathy with this idea among her neighbors. But of course the man knows he isn't. He knows that he has obtained a clear view of the sinful and dangerous condition Of his wife and his neighbors, and he feels that it is laid on him to do all he can to save them, So he distresses them by prayer which they don't feel the need of, and which he wonders that they don't ap- preclate Verify 1t Is a strange world. Even Brother Bryan doesn't seem to be able to convince all the people that he is their best friend

NOT ALL DESIRABLE.

Many good people from other coun- tries come to this country to live and help themselves and the country, but there has long been a suspicion in the minds of officials of the immigration service that European governments systematically aid their unfortunate subjects to get to the United States To what extent assisted emigration ex- ists has never been known, but the au- thorities are constantly encountering evidences of the practice. A few months ago it was found that the Society or Guardians of the Poor of London a semi-municipal organization, was fur nishing money to send dependents to tfe, United States. The scum of the poverty-stricken districts of London were gathered together by this organ ization and tickets purchased for them to come to America. The State depart ment protested to the British govern ment and the evil was stopped It IS known that much the same practices obtain in other European countries. In Austria and Hungary the government encourages the poor to seek homes in the United States, while the Italian government has regularly organized bureau to prosecute this work
 Our busy President has not been too busy to take notice of this situation, and it is announced that acting under his orders, the Department of Com merce and Labor has sent abroad ten special agents to find out what foreign Governments are doing to encourage the emigration to the United States of un- desirable persons. The information pro- cured will be kept secret and will be used by the President next winter in urging congress to adopt more strin- gent immigration law. The general opinion is that it is high time for such a law.

Sir Douglass Fox, who has been com missioned to prepare plans for the tun- nel under the English channel, is one of the great engineers of to-day, It is owing to his creative and constructive genius that the Cape to Cairo railroad has developed into an actuality instead of an impossible dream of the empire builders the late Cecil Rhodes and AL fred Belt. The great bridge across the Victoria Falls, on the Zambesi river, will always remain monument to his great abilities. The Mersey tunnel. opened in 1885, which connects Liver- pool with Birkenhead and the Cheshire side of the river Mersey, is another of his engineering achievements, as is also the Liverpool overhead railroad and the Hawarden railroad bridge across the river Dee.

All tonnage and navigation dues in the Philippine Islands have been abol- ished by an act of the Philippine com mission, passed on August S1, of which notice has just been received by the Bureau of Insular Affairs of the War department. The act took effect im- mediately. Heretofore on the entry of a vessel from a port or place not in the Philippine Islands duty of 6 per cent. a ton, but not to exceed 30 cents a net ton year, was levied. It was provided that in case of vessel load ing or discharging cargo less than the net tonnage of the vessel duties of 20 cents might be imposed, at the option of the consignee, in lieu of the usual tonnage dues.

 H. M. Hale, the special representative of the bureau of forestry at Washing ton, told the members of the National Coopers' Association at Chicago that unless new precautions are taken for the preservation and cultivation of for ests in the United States we shall ere long be compelled to buy lumber from foreign countries. He quoted statistics showing the great inroads made in the American forests during the last ten years, and said that certain regions had been almost depleted of merchantable timber. The meeting adopted a resolu- tion urging the government to assist the forestry bureau in it's work. Better late than never.

Protestant missionaries among the F4lipinos report favorable progress in religious instruction among the natives, and this is confirmed by the recent an- nral report of the work of the Ameri- can Bible society in those islands. It sets forth that the commercial, social and religious life of the people there is receiving new and powerful influences from the missionary work and Bible distribution going on, the last year having been the most prosperous in these respects since our occupation there began.

City and Rural Papers.

When we see ANYTHING agricultural
in city daily, we can usually make
up our minds that it isn't so. A year
or two ago the city papers transform
ed the harmless cabbage hair-worm
into a poisonous cabbage snake
which had dangerously poisoned
whole families.
A few weeks ago a Los Angeles
daily published story to the effect
that the melons in the Coachella Val
ley melon district had been rendered
dangerous as food this season on ac-
count of the vines being infested by
aphis. The California Fruit Grower,
commenting on this report, says:
"The apology for a newspaper mar
who wrote that story ought to be
shut up in a barrel where he could
do no harm and be fed through the
bung-hole until he attains years OF
discretion"
The plain facts in the case are, that
the average reporter of city daily
knows no more about agricultural
subjects than we know about agri-
cultural conditions on the planet Sat
urn, or than the American aborigint
knew about the principles of Chris
tianity before Columbus started out
on his journey westward 10 discover

Three of the Indiana congressional
districts were saved to the Republi-
cans Tuesday by the smallest plural
tiles ever known in the state.
The Thirteenth district elects Brick
by a plurality of 100; the Twelfth
elects Gillhams by 225 and Second
elects CLANCY by 2s2. Two of the
strongest Republican districts in the
state elect Democrats by overwhelm-
ing maiorities defeating Fred Lands
and George W. Cromer, both now in
congress, Cromer being. beaten over
1000 votes in the Eighth.
This is Chairman Goodrich's dis
trict and he and Cromer had built up
machine that they considered i'm
pregnable and able to crush all oppo-
sition. Two days before election
Goodrich predicted that Cromer
would have 5000 majority. When the
votes were counted his Democratic
opponent, J. M. Adair, had plu ally
of 1924.
This is another evidence that Good
rich is a political fool, as we have
been compelled to state several times
during this campaign.

What This Soil Of Ours Can Do.

All honor and long life 10 Solomon
Watson of Arcola, I'LL On his twen-
ty-eight acre tract in Douglas county
this season he has harvested a corn
crop that runs 40 bushels to the acre.
All honor and long life to Solomon
Watson, because there has been some
silly talk of late to the effect that the
soil of our corn belt is not so fertile
as it used to be. and he has proved
that il is just as fertile.
People down the state are selling
their farms not because the soil is not
fertile, but because it is too fertile
and too fruitful to be held by farm
ers in moderate circumstances and
with large families. A few acres of
land in the neighborhood of Arcola--
anywhere in that magnificent cluster
of counties which includes Shelby.
Champaign, Vermillion, Clark, Coles,
Moultrie, Edgar. and Douelas-in fact
a few acres of land in almost any
part Of that marvelously prolific dis
trict which extends from the Wiscon-
sin line to the Ohio river and from
the Indiana line to the Mississippi,
will sell for enough TO move family
to the Canadian Northwest and pro-
vide homestead for the parents and
a future for the children.

Oscar Fuller's Funeral.

A brief notice of the death of Oscar
Fuller was given in the Daily Trib-
une Thursday evening, just after the
accident.
Particulars differ but little from
what was then stated. He had gone
to the station for the evening papers,
as usual, and while waiting for the
passenger train, climbed on the ten
der of freight. The engineer told
him to get off and he jumped while
the engine was backing He either
caught the strap of his paper sack on
corner of the tender and was
thrown back, or his feet struck a
truck and he fell backward with his
head on the track and was killed in
stantly. his head, neck and shoulder
being crushed by the wheels.
The remains were taken to Leon
ards undertaking establishment
where they we're prepared for burial
and the funeral services were held al
the home of his parents, Sunday af
ternoon, conducted by Rev Geo. A
Plug of the Presbyterian church.
His Sunday school class and the
pupils of his school room as we'll as
a very large concourse of citizens
were present, and the services were
impressive.
Oscar was a very bright, active in
telligent boy and was well known
throughout the city, having carried
papers for the past two or three
years He would have been thirteen
years of age on the day that he was
buried.
His sad and sudden death cast Z
gloom over the city and his parents
brother and sister have the sympath,
of everybody.

Arizona and New Mexico.

New Mexico declared for joint
statehood with Arizona on Tuesday
by majority of nearly 5000. The
other side of the question was pre-.
senied by Arizona, which gave a ma
jority of 1900 against the PROPOSE
ton.
Under the conditions that are like.
ly to prevail in these territories fol-
some time to come there is no imme
date prospect 70. a new state.
1t is perhaps just as we'll that Ari
IONA voted as it did and spoiled the
chances of statehood. There is some
fairness in the Arizona contention
that combination of the territories
would make an unwieldly state. The
difference in distance and in physica
characteristics between Prescott anc
Santa Fe is too marked to be ignored
And yet Arizona has missed an op
portunity. 1t was given the oppor.
tunity of half loaf or no loaf. New
Mexico realized this, although it die
not actually favor joint statehood a:

of those who voted in favor of join
statehood preferred single statehood

Roosevelt VIII Not Run Again.

1t was announced at Washington
Sunday that President Roosevelt, be-
fore starting on his Panama trip,
took occasion at White House cleo
ton conference again to reiterate in
the strongest terms his public an
nouncement that no combination of
circumstances could induce him to
become candidate for reelection in
1905"
1t is said the subject was preached
By one of the callers alluding 10 a
frequent publication which declared
the President to be the only logical
man to lead his party to victory.
The President, in declaring that ne
had not changed his mind, expressed
appreciation of the compliment i'm
piled. He said that while the sug-
gestion was no doubt made in all
sincerity, it was embarrassing be-
cause it created the impression that
he could be swayed from his former
attitude. He said his decision to rec
tire at the conclusion of his present
term was irrevocable. The Presi-
dent subscribed to the time-honore
tradition that the President of the
United States could not serve more
than two terms. He regarded this
as his second term He secuted the
suggestion that the policies he had
been pursuing could not, or would
not, be carried to their conclusion by
his successor, whoever he might be.

Hughes and Hearst.

1t is useless to attempt to reason
on all the. complicated details thae
are half revealed by the reports of
the New York elections. Looking
only at the larger facts, it appears
that Hearst was beaten by more than
$4,000 votes and that he ran far be-
hind his ticket. The Hughes plural
ity was big one, and yet it was not
as big as had been hoped for by the
opponents of Hearst, and it was GER
tainly not large enough to put Hearst
out OF politics. At the same time, the
fact that he ran behind his ticket in
dicates clearly a political weakness
in the candidate. But he will probab-
iy try to show that, though it seems
to be a weakness now, it should con-
tribute ultimately to his strength
with the people, that, for example,
there is glory for Hearst in the knit
ing by McCarren.
Hearst's future, however, depends
very largely upon the record of
Charles E. Hughes, and the country
will await with great interest the ac-
tons of the man who was elected
Governor of New York. He can if
he will administer a much more Sc
we're defeat to Hearst than he did
last Tuesday by working out a policy
OF constructive reform. The lesson
of the election is that there must be
no reaction, and all that was sincere
and truly patriotic in the Hearst vote
that lesson. Though
Hearst has proven in many ways
that he himself is not sincere. and
though he has nothing to propose but
an indiscriminate and destructive
campaign against wealth, there is
honesty in his following Hundreds
of thousands who supported him are
in sympathy with hundreds of thous-
ands who voted for Hughes, and the
bond of sympathy is the conviction
that the great corporations, the So
called trusts and the public service
corporations, must be deprived of the
power that they exercise in a way
that is inimical to the people.
1t is true that these voters differ
sharply as to methods and that there
are many divisions among them, but
obviously any methods that bring
genuine reforms should give them
satisfaction, and it falls upon Hughes
to develop effective methods and to
cause them to be felt wherever his
extends.-Indanapols Star

General Wage Increase

1t is now known that practically al
the great railroad and industrial cor
porations o fthe country have decided
to increase the prevailing rate o.
wages to their employees.
Besides the Pennsylvania Railroad
company, which already has announc
ed an increase, the Standard Oil com
pany, the amalgamated Copper com
pany, and the United States Stee
corporation are mentioned as having
decided on an increase o. have the
subject under consideration.
The New York Central. the Lack
awanna and other eastern railroads
have either been requested to ad
vance the wages of employees or havs
taken some steps to do so.
The increased cost of living and
the prevailing prosperity are thu
reasons for the step, and that the
arrangements of the corporations de
sire to have their workmen partici
pate in the prosperity.
