On the interior walls of the Beau
champ tower Of the Tower of London
are many Inscriptions that were in
scribed there by unfortunate prisoners
hundreds of years ago They reveal
the thoughts. the hopes and fears that
possessed them. Their mental and
spiritual conditions are there disclosed.
Some speak of melancholy, others of
hope and of superiority to unpleasant
circumstances. So ne are quite lengthy
while others are short and pithy.
One of the briefest and most sugges-
tive is that written by Thomas Fitz-
gerald. Earl of Kildare, who was
hung, drawn. and quartered in 1888.
AS it is. take it,
Rightly considered there is plenty
of philosophy in those few short
words. If. when misfortunes come
or disappointments occur, instead OF
losing heart and giving up as SO
many do, we take the disappointments
cheerfully and resolutely face the
future. success will at last be ours,
and in the meantime we shall have
saved ourselves lots of worry.

The independent voter is all right
in his place, but his place is not in
either party. If a man does not in
tend to be bound by party ties he
should not ask to participate in party
leadership. 1t is not the independent
of whom we complain. it is of the
man who pretends to be republican
or democrat. who goes to the eau
cusas and conventions. and who then
turns upon the nominees. for whom
we have no use. The democrats
treated Shaw Van just right and it is
time the republicans had nerve enough
to do the same thing. Be "inde-
pendent" if you wish. but do not try
to be u party man at the same time.
Such course is sheer hypocrisy.
The Review does not mean by this
that it would read cut of the party
every man who voted against Cum
Minis. but we would impress the les
son that one cannot boast of being an
independent" voter and at the same
time expect consideration from any
party. Neither democrats or repub-
licans have use for such man. he
is, and must be, just what he boasts
himself, s'man without party"
If a man feels that the old parties
do not afford sufficient room for his
activities. if he feels that he is too
big to be bound by party ties. he has
the perfect right to proclaim himself
an independent and to vote IS he
chooses, according to personal whims
or any other influence. When. how
ever he acknowledges allegiance to a
party, that allegiance ought to amount
to something. If it does not, al
leglance is not the proper word to
use. We do not mean to say that one
should vote for dishonest or unfit
man on any ticket. There are times
when party allegiance should be
thrown aside. but when conditions are
equal or nearly equal, the party are
should hold. If it does not, if you
do not intend that it shall. then de-
clare yourself like a man, proclaim
your independence and do not try
to figure as party leader. AS we
have said before, Shaw Van is an ex
ample of the man who tried to ride
both horses and he got just what was
coming to him. If there are any
Shaw Vans in the republican party
they should be treated in the same
way.

How many republicans are there
in Crawford county who will agree
to take part in the primaries or eau
cuses of the county two years from
now. who will then argee to stand
by the results whatever they may be,
and to vote the straight ticket after
it's nominated? Ii there are enough
Of this kind of republicans it may be
worth while to place ticket in the
field and to make another campaign.
The Review is willing to make such
an agreement, are there others?

In recent magazine article
Charles Wagner, the author of "The
Simple Life.' writes instructively on
the value of the ideal in every day
life. Most of us live average lives
because we are average men and
women, but there is no reason why
we should not make the average much
higher than it is. 1t is not genius
that will do it. but the putting of
the highest ideal before us and then
doing our best in the best possible
way to attain it. Even though we
may not always reach that which we
have set before US. the honest effort
will have most wholesome results in
the refining of our life and the
strengthening of our character.

WHAT OF THE FuTuRE2

1t is not the purpose of this paper
to continue, the use of the terms
progressive" and "'standpat'' as
related to republicans. The latter
term is not correct appellation.
There is no such person in this country
or state who believes in policy of
absolute stagnation. When Mark
Hanna used the term tstand pat"
and ''let we'll enough alone what he
had in mind was to stand by the men
and the party who had brought about
prosperous conditions. 1t is absurd
to say that any sane man would ad-
vocate complete do nothing policy
in congress or in any state legislature.
A great many republicans in Iowa
and other states are wearing, figura-
lively speaking. these respective
badges. We have worn enc ourselves
and have taken a great deal of pride
in it. Few men will wear tag of
which they are ashamed. We know
republicans who have worn the stand
pat badge with just as much pride as
we wore that of the progressive. We
have talked with them in a most
friendly way and found that there
was no material difference between
us. The proper course for both sides
therefore is to discard these terms
and be content with the plain badge
Ct republicanism. There is no reason
for division. -Glidden Graphic.

HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL.

The Review has been studying the
election returns, trying, we must
confess to find some ray of comfort
in the apparent and very palpable
disaster.
Porter carried the county by 6a9.
All but two of the democratic can
didates were elected. in spite of the
fact that the personnel of the republic
can ticket was all that could be
asked.
Not much comfort in that? Well,
we should say not.
In 1908. Cummins lost the county
by 296. A loss of 4O3 this year.
Where then shall we turn for comfort :.
In 1903 there was no fight on Gov.
Cummins and he ran about with the
rest of the ticket. This year we find
that while Cummins lost the county
by 500 the average majorities
against the state ticket were less
than they were three wears ago. That
is in spite of the apathy of disaffect-
ed republicans, in spite of the fact
that many republicans stayed from the
polls, in spite of the fact that Den
ison played havoc with the whole
ticket there was republican gain
of something like 10 votes on the body
of the state ticket.
In fifteen precincts of the county
the republican vote on Auditor of
state, compared with the vote for
Governor three years ago shows gain
of III. nine precincts. including Den
ison and Vail show loss of 81 or a
net gain of Sc votes in the county.
Denison and Vail furnish 81 of the
votes lost. so that throughout the
rest of the county we lost 80 votes
and gained III. The returns hold this
much of hope for the republicans.
that the party as a whole has gained
ground rather than lest it in the
three years and that. were the party
ever to be unite, with National issues
to the fore there will be chance for
a winning fight in Crawford. Let
us hope that at the next election all
factionalism will be dropped and that
every man who claims to be repuh-
lican will be ready to work enthuias-
tically for the whole ticket.

Disappointment is naturally felt by
the losing side in an election. but for
all that it does no5 believe that just
because it failed to win the country
is going to the dogs. 1t is rect gniz-

triotic and stand for those principles
which they honestly believe are for
the best interests of the nation.

Give the Children Chance.

A month ago the City of San Fran

great calamity, it is said that over
40 of these have been DESTROYED.
A great national movement, having
it's origin in the city of Boston, mas
been set on foot to let the school
children of the United States have
the opportunity of building in San
Francisco a Memorial school build
ing. One rule established is that no
be permitted to contribute more than
five cents, and no pupil in the high
schools more than ten cents. 1t is
thought that Boston's contribution
will probably amount to $4,000.

NO MORE DAMAGE SUITS
United States Will Deliver Water for
25,0OO Acres on Mexican Side, From
the Great EngIe Dam.

Washington, May 21.-Secretary
bassador Casas for the Mexican gov
ernment today signed a treaty regula-
Grande, which if approved by the
senate will remove what has been
for twenty years the cause of SER
ious friction in the relations of the
two countries. For almost a century
the Mexicans living along the lower
river have made large use of the wa
ter for irrigating. but in recent years
private companies on the upper waters
in the United States have by the
construction of wing dams diverted
a large part of the water to this side
of the river The Mexicans preferred
claims for damage sustained, but SO
far without success. Now the plans
of the Reclamation Service have
made it certain that practically all
the water will be retained on the
American side unless some proper
scheme of division can be arranged
The construction of $1,000 900 dam
across the Rio Grande at Engle, N
M, brings the matter to a climax and
led to negotiations between the two
countries, which eliminated in the
treaty signed today.
The underlying principle of the
convention is recognition of the COM
mon law right of the Mexicans to
the use of a fair share of the water
of the river. 1t is estimated that the
impounded water will suffice to irri-
gate 100000 acres of otherwise arid
land, and water to make arabic
25.000 acres will be delivered on the
Mexican side of the border each year
For its part the Mexican government
guarantees the o. S. government ag-
ainst any suit for liability on account
of the claims of individual Mexicans
who have so far suffered through the
diversion of water
Opposition to the treaty is expected
on the part of some western senators,
who express the belief that either
the United States is entitled to all
the water without compensation in
view of constructing irrigation dams
and canals, or that if the Mexicans
title should be purchased outright
by cash payments
