Why Misrepresent Facts?

AS a sample, says the Waterloo
Reporter (Rep), of the campaign
dope being doled out by the spon-
ssrs of the "only ones" candidacy
the rank Misrepresentation of Judge
A. s. Blair of the tenth Judicial dis
trict is fair criterion. In this
mornings issue of the Register and
Leader the statement is made that
the democrats are giving wide pub
licity to the letter written by
Judge Blair in which he states he
will not support A. B. Cummins for
governor this year. So far as this
is concerned there may be truth in
the assertion, but the reason assign
ed for the judges attitude is adding
insult to injury in a vicious and mis-
leading manner, emphasizing either
Ignorance of the actual situation or
a desire to distort facts and injure a
man who has served the party all
his long and honorable life and is
today republican of high standing
and integrity. The Register and
Leader says:
Judge Blair was defeated recent
ly for denomination This is said
to have been incident to the contest
in Delaware county in which Cover
nor Cummins carried the baliwick.-
Those who are at all posted on
events politice and otherwise know
the statement is false. But lest 9TH
ers in the state not posted should be
led to the wrong impression it is
we'll to keep the record straight.
Judge Blair was not defeated recent
ly or at any other time for re-nomin-
alton. He is retiring voluntarily on
account Of failing eyesight and the
need of the respite which his ad-
vanced age entities him to and no.
thing else. So far as the candidacy
of the only one'' in Delaware coun-
ty is concerned it has no more weight
id point Of fact than the hole which
remains after stone is dropped in
to the Cedar river. 1t would seem
that the time has arrived when re-
publicans should regard honesty of
purpose within the ranks and honor
men for their past records and pres
ent attitude, leaving criticism Of ac-
ton in the present unpleasantness
of one man campaign to the enem-
les of the party. The republicans
of Iowa will resent vituperative in
ference of such men as Judge Blair,
whose best days have been given in
serving the party and whose record
as citizen and on the judicial bench
is perfectly straight and honorable.
In his retirement on account of fail
ling eyesight and advanced years,
the tenth district loses one of its
best men and the loss is SO regarded
by the legal fraternity of the dis
trict

Shaw and His Same Old Yarn.

Secretary Shaw is versatile
statesman. When he spoke in New
York a short time ago
he was like Henry George, he stood
for men. The reason why he did
not emphasize his same old yarn
about voting for party instead of for
men in that state was because the
candidate for governor in
New York will be hopelessly defeat
ed by Mr.. Hearst unless he can Sc
cure the votes Of thousands of
independent democrats. When
Mr.. Shaw speaks in Manchester he
will without doubt urge his hearers
to magnify party ties and disregard
personal qualifications andin SO do.
ing he will demonstrate that he is
advocating out of date politics.

CONSIDERATION OF THE NEW
CATHOLIC CHURCH AT
PETERSBURG.

The recently completed Catholic
church at Petersburg in this county
was consecrated last Wednesday.
The ceremonies were witnessed by
hundreds of church dignitaries and
invited guests, as well as the mem
bers of the congregation.
| The conditions precedent to the
rite of conservation are so difficult
to comply with that the ceremony is
one of rare Importance. Before
Catholic church can be eonsecrated
it must be paid for and entirely free
from all monetary obligations. 1t
must also be of approved construc-
ton. The fact that IS. Peter and
Pauls church Of Petersburg, Iowa,
is the only consecrated church in
this diocese shows how difficult it is
for a congregation to comply with
all the requirements. Most churches
are simply dedicated and there are
very few consecrated churches in
this country or in any other country
for that matter
The Delaware county parish,
which has won this exceptional dis
tinction, was organized on March
25th, 1867, nearly forty years ago.
At that time a church committee
was appointed with Adolph Ahmann
as president and Peter Domayer as
secretary and treasurer, and the bal
ance of the committee were Henry
Bohnenkamp, Clemens Froehle, An !
ton Muehlenkamp, Clemens Willen- I
borg, and Henry Schaefers. At
meeting held in April by the COM
mittee, good progress was reported. !
Mr.. p. Domayer, being unable to at
tend to his duties, resigned the sec
retary and treasurer's office and Mr..
Theodore Althoff, a veteran of the
civil war, now Sc years old, and on
"ly survivor of the first committee,
was elected to fill the vacancy.
Tie foundation for the old church
was completed in the fall of 1867,
and in the fall Of 1868, the church
was completed at cost OF about
$10,0000O.
On Feb. 9th, 1902, Rev. Father
w. B. Sassen commenced his work
as pastor of the church. He soon
found that the old church building
was entirely inadequate for the
largely increased congregation.
In 1908 Architect Martin Heer of .
Dubuque, prepared the plans and {
specifications for the new building, I
which is one of the best church edi-
fees in the state. 1t stands on the
highest point of ground in Bremen

A Cedar Rapids Republican cor
respondent, who was present at the
address recently delivered at Monti-
cello by Claude R. Porter, the dem
ocratic candidate for governor, in
his review of the address said: "Mr.
Porter delivered fine address which
was devoted to the state issues. He
created very favorable impression
and won many friends. The repub-
licans of Jones county are almost
unanimously standpatters and they
were very much dissatisfied with the
nomination of Governor Cummins
and will not give him that enthus-
iastic support which for so years
has been given to republican candi-
dates. Every indication now points
to Porter receiving a big majority in
this county"

Washington, D. c., March 1o.--The
statehood question will not be taken
up in the house until the return OF
the members Of the river and harbor
committee, who are making trip of
inspection through the south. This
will be about March 10.
The house leaders, who represent
the administration view Of statehood,
are positive that the house will con-
cur in the amendment Of the senate
to eliminate Arizona and New Mexico
from the bill. The positive assertion
made by Ire stalwarts, is that the in
surgents have not gained a single vote
since the bill left the house, and that
consequently they will be unable to
carry the motion to concur in the sen.
ate amendments. When the bill
comes from The senate, the program
contemplates a motion to disagree,
and ask for a conference. This mo.
tion gill be made by Hamilton. It Is
thought that Babcock will net inter
pose a motion to concur. The vote
will come on this section first, and
lhe result will reveal the strength OF
the respective sides.
Those opposing statehood for Ari
zona and New Mexico in the house
nave maintained all along that II ar
opportunity should be given for a oil
rect vote on the specific question
they have plenty of votes to defeat
joins statehood.

BANKER WALSH
HEARING WAS
Postponed Because of Alb.
Sence of Attorney.
Photographers
FIGHT FOR HIS PICTURE
Baptist Minister Guilty of
Criminal Relations With
Woman jailed.
WOMAN IS ALSO FINED HEAVILY

Chicago, March 10.-The prelimin-
airy hearing of John A. Walsh, former
president of the Chicago National
bank, who was arrested several days
ago on the charge of violating the
federal banking laws, was set for this
morning before United States Com.
missioner Foote, but owing to the alb.
sence of Walsh's attorney it was
continued until March 10.
A lively fight between the friends
of Walsh and a number of newspaper
photographers took place when Walsh
was about to leave the federal build
ing. The photographers had placed
their machines at the Adams street
entrance to the building, and when
Walsh came out one snapped him. In
an instant the friends of Walsh made
a rush for him and the machine went
into the air and the photographer to
the sidewalk. He jumped up and
struck one of his assailants in the
mouth, knocking him down, and cut
ting his own hand badly on the teeth
of his victim. A general mix-up fol
lowed, all the photographers taking
the side of their fellow worker against
the friends of the banker, and for two
or three minutes at least, score
fought up and down the steps. The
arrival of the police stopped the fight
Only one photograph of alsh was
taken, but the chances are that the
camera that tock it will never be
used again.

PROGRaM MAS SUCCESS u
In LIVERY way

The musical and literary program
at the Baptist church, last night.
given under the auspices of the Bap-
tist Young Peoples Union, was a de-
cided success in every way. Mrs.
Rosa Futrelle-Gideon, the accom-
panist OF the evening, showed great
skill in her manipulation of the large
manual organs, recently purchased
by the Baptist church. Mr.. II. Y.
Maynard and Mrs Martha Brown
Gibbs pleased the large audience with
delightful vocal solos, and both re-
sponded to encores. OF the readings,
it would be difficult to say which
was the most enjoyable, as both re-
ceived generous applause. The read
ers were the Misses Bearrup, John
son, Pearce, owen, and Mrs. ~ j.
Strumquist, The selection given by
the latter, MY Old Kentucky Home,"
was an original production. Mr.. Carl
J. Tolan appeared twice on the pro-
gram, once in violin solo, which was
encored, and again, in the CHORUS of
Angels trio for the organ and vio-
lin, with a whistling obligato. Per-
haps the most popular feature of the
evening was the whistling of Mr..
Leonard Miller. One not seeing the
whistler, would have thought there
was bird. or a whole flock of them,
near by, pouring forth a volume of
melody, At the close of his solos,
and as he entered for the trio, MIR.
Miller was heartily encored. His is
certainly wonderful accomplishment
and one by which he could draw a
very large income, if he SO desired,
and would accept the theatrical Of
fers that have been made to him. The
young people realized quite a neat
sum as the result Of the entertain
ment which will be applied on the
church deficit in the church treasury.

CONDITION OF PEOPLE
IN STATE OF NEW work.

Albany, N. Y, March 10.--According
to the figures In the annual report for
1905, of Frederick ID. Kilburn. state
superintendent of banks, the gain in
the resources of the savings banks of
the state OF New York during the past
year was $93, 3,s07, ,399.67, which is larg.
er by more than $20,0O0000 than was
ever shown before for single year.
It is asserted by those who are In a
position to know, that the great show
ing made by the savings banks Of the
state means not an increasing use of
these institutions by those whom they
are not intended to serve, but rather
marked betterment in the conditions
of the masses of the people. In sup
port of this idea it is pointed out that
the gain in open accounts of the saw
ings banks for the year was 1924,
against 1892 in the year before. The
gain in the amount deposited during
the year was $51116,525.95, against
$24,699, ,413.S2 in the previous year.
There are now 1872 savings banks in
the state, 35 safe deposit companies
and SO trust companies.

WONDERFUL ADVANCE
IN ELECTRICAL USE

New York, March 1O.-Forty-
million dollars represents the advance
made by the electrical industry last
year. Figures just completed by New
York experts prove that the greatest
gain ever made came in 1905. In the
previous year the gain was only ten
per cent. Last year an increase of
from S175,50O,OOO to $217,OO0,O00
shows that the industry took a jump
of twenty per cent.
The motor output increased $1,000, ?
900 in value. Telephone apparatus
beat this record by half million,
Wire and cable manufacturers gained
$1,000 900. A still larger increase is
shown in miscellaneous apparatus" ,"
which totals $25,O0O,O0O. The only
manufacturers who have stood still
are the makers of electrical clocks.

AMERICAN LEGATION
NOW HOLD FORTRESS

Peking, March 10.-The American
legation in this city is prepared for
any emergency and the reports of ser
ious anti-foreign riots in various parts
of China have no terror for the mem
bers of the legation, who live within
their fortified enclosure as in a city
by themselves. The last preparations
have been completed and, If it should
become necessary. the legation will be
able 10 stand long siege. The
American legation in this city is a
regular fortress and is the first official
residence owned by the American gov
ernment in any country.
The buildings were constructed by
sydney w. Meeley, assistant supervis-
ing architect of the treasury Gepan-
ment, who was sent to China after the
Boxer troubles, more than three years
ago, for the purpose of building a
safe retreat for the members of the
American legation. He completed his
task recently and returned to the
United States.
The buildings are of brick and
stone and of very solid construction.
The largest building is for the use
of the minister. Surrounding 1t are
buildings for the Secretaries, the chan
celery building and a number of
smaller structures. They are all built
closely together and are surrounded
by formidable wall of masonry A
short distance back of the wall on one
side is the great city wall, on which
has been constructed an American
fort, equipped with small guns. The
American legation is now as well pro
tected as any of the other legations.
In a case of emergency the American
residents of Peking could find refuge
in the legation quarters.
The present garrison Of the Amer
lean fort is not very strong, but
should it become necessary, there are
enough troops available in Manila
and two transports are in the harbor
of Manila, ready to bring a strong
force Of American soldiers 10 Peking

domestic use of current is taxing the
facilities Of manufacturers and cen
trail stations. The lowered cost of
gas does not appear TO effect electrical
advance in any direction where they
come into competition. The greater
safety, convenience and healthfulness
of incandescent and arc lighting are
giving it a popularity that gas no
longer rivals.
The miscellaneous" output of cleo
trical appliances includes househoIu
devices that are now coming into gen
eral use for the first time. Every
thing, from a curling iron in the
boudoir to a washboiler in the up TO-
date laundry can now be heated by
electricity. The electric kitchen,
where a few coils of wire take the
place of the coal or gas stove, will
in a few years be as common as the
electric car.
Prophets of the electrical age" say
that the element OF cost, where il
enters at all, can no more check the
advancing era of electricity than the
cheapness of stage coaches could pre-
vent the adoption of the steam engine.
