Caring For Roosevelt.

Washington, d. G., June 1.-When
today Senator Aldrich sought to Sc
cure the passage Of resolution giving
the president authority to go outside
of the United States to buy supplies
for the Panama canal, in case the bids
in the United States are extortionate
and unreasonable, Senator Stone spoke
In opposition to the resolution.
He based his opposition on the
ground that 1t was useless to pass it.
mo one can Doubt" he said, "that
the president will buy practically all
the canal materials in America, no
matter what the difference in prices
here and abroad may be. II we are to
judge the future by the past there is
no room for questioning what course
the president will adopt. Men who
contributed stupendous slush funds
aggregating millions upon millions Of
dollars to carry the last three presi-
Dental elections for the republican
candidates must of necessity have
their grasp upon those who accept
their donations. The benefciaries Of
those enormous corruption funds may
sometimes vince and shrink from the
task imposed upon them and to hide
the shame OF it may now and then
perform some spectacular stunt in the
limelight and before the galleries; but
in the end the forces which operate
behind the curtain and hold the string
will have their way.
'sBut there has been so much of this
clustering and it has attracted such
wide attention that something must
be done to relieve the situation.
Something must be provided for these
blusterers. :lAdoor must be opened for
escape, and soft place made for the
president to fall. The scheme for all
this is wrapped up in this resolution"

Walt Butler, the democratic nomi.
nee for state senator, said yesterday,
that in his opinion the next governor
OF Iowa will be q democrat.
1.-THE democrats haven't had such a
beautiful opportunity in years, +" he
said. "They will win as sure as the
sun sets in the west.''
Mr.. Butler was asked concerning the
report that he is assisting in the can
didacy of Editor Perkins.
There is absolutely nothing in the
report, /" he said. ST would have little
respect for democrat who would
lsave his party and help another in a
case like this. There is absolutely no
truth in the statement. I am pleased
over the prospects Of democracy In
Iowa, and that's absolutely all the in
terest / at present have in state poll

An Impertinent Suggestion.

The Jones County (Iowa) Times is
pursuing a course that will result in
its becoming very much disljked in
the camp OF the 'sstand-pstters." Re-
ferring to the proposition to remove
the tariff on structural steel, lumber
and other building material imported
for the rebuilding of San Francisco,
In order that the people Of the strick-
en- city may secure such material at
the lowest possible cost, the Times
says:
''If the claim made by our republi-
can brethren is true, that the foreign
er pays the tax, why not let the tariff
on building material remain and do
nate the amount Of the tax paid by
the foreigner on such material to the
sufferers of the stricken city?''
The Times has punctured the whole
protective theory by that one sugges-
ton. II the foreigner pays the tax the
removal of the tax will not help San
Francisco. II the foreigner does not
pay 1t, then the tax ia an unjust bur-
den upon the people. The Commoner
ventures to predict that not one of
the ''stand-patter" organs in Iowa
will dare oppose the humane -sugges.
tfon made by the Jones County Times.
They will have to content themselves
with making faces at the Times and
calling 1t the usual names.-The Com.
moner.

Carl schurz,

Many of our foreign born citizens
have risen to distinction and have rem
dered splendid service to our country.
The three most conspicuous were Alex
ander Hamilton, born in the English
West Indies; Albert Gallatin, Swiss,
and Carl Schurz, Prussian. These
three men would have been illustrious
in any country or in any age. Per-
haps of this magnificent trio Schurz
was the most versatile. He was
revolutionist when youth in Europe
and was friend of liberty on two
continents. Here he was soldier, min
lister plenipotentiary, editor, senator,
cabinet minister, essayist, orator, lee
turer, civil service reformer and his
torian. He e1celled in all these varied
fields of human endeavor. He is said
by competent judges to have spoken
better English than any other public
man of his time, though he learned it
after he was grown to mans estate.
His life of Henry Clay is undoubtedly
among the best in 1.-THE American
Statesmen Series of biographies. The
fact that he came to use our vernac-
ular in Its purity and Its strength
should teach our young people the wis
dom and profitableness of reading the
writings of the best English and Ameri-
can authors. Carl Schurz was man
Of perfect integrity and leaves to both
the country of his birth and the coun-
try of his adoption great and spotless

SEPARATION to all thinking of and desir-
ing a public career. 1t Is calculated
by statisticians who measure every
body and everything by the money
standard that the average healthy,
honest, Industrious immigrant to our
country is worth to the country $1,000,
but the value Of man like Carl Schurz
cannot be measured in dollars and
cents. To ascertain his worth some
other and worthier standard must be
adopted. He was great man and liy-
ed to see the anniversary Of his birth
day celebrated by millions of people
q most unusual honor-proving beyond
peradventure the high estimation in
which he was held by reason Of his
eminent services to his country and
his kind.

Everything but Love,

There is not a country bred man or

that life can offer nothing comparable
with the innocent zest of that old
style of courting that was done at
singing school in the starlight and
cadlelight of the first half of our cen-
tury. There are few hearts so withered
and cid but they beat quicker some-
times when they hear, in old fashioned
churches, the wailing, sobbing, or ex-
ulting strains of 'Bradstreet' or
China" or Coronation" and the
mind floats down on the current of
these old melodies to that fresh young
day of hopes and illusions-of voices
that were sweet, no matter how false
they sang of nights that were rosy
with dreams, no matter what Fahren-
heit said-of girls that blushed with
out cause, and of lovers who talked

Pirate had shown no temper so far that

Enthusiastic bird Architect.

The process of the building of
birds nest is always interesting, and
the most wonderful of all nests, those
of the weaver birds, can always be
seen in the making by any one who
will buy few males of the African
red billed weaver, which cost about
half a crown each. This is a little
bird much like small hen sparrow
with a bright red bill, and decked in
the breeding season with a pink cap
and breast and a black mask He is
an enthusiastic architect, and in
France is always sold as travailleur-
the worker. Even in the cage he will
weave any fibrous material in and out
of the wires till they are covered, and
in an aviary he will construct beautiful
round nests with the greatest enthu-
siasm, pausing occasionally to swear
at fellow craftsmen who presume to
criticise his efforts or cast larcenous
eye on his materials. London Ex-
