In the death of Marshall Field no
building in Chicago was large enough
to accommodate those who wished to
attend his funeral. Busy Chicago ac-
tually stopped work one hour as mark
of respect on the day of his funeral.
And the college president was mourned
the world over, tho his dollars could
have been expressed in four figures.
This man was sincerely mourned by
hundreds of students and friends thru
out the whole country. OF course all
this was of little consequence to the oc-
cupantS of the cloth covered coffin in
the hearse drawn by the black horses.
1t was of some consequence to the fam
lilies left with their names. But here
is the nub of the thing. These funerals
expressed the sentiments of the living,
not only on the day of the funeral, but
on the days months and years pre-
ceding. Harper and Marshall Field had
the satisfaction while alive of meta
phorically speaking, attending their
own funerals So did Yerkes.

pointed the way in his most able
speech yesterday afternoon, and il any
member refuses to vote for the re-

oblivion in November next"
At the close of these words some one
snickered and then every one in the
house burst into loud laughter.

well the kind of men who comprise the
"Cunmins crowd" and the professions
ais on the other side. About a week
ago a Cummins man in the legislature
was complaining because our fellows
would not play politics" and make
deal with the democrats to sat Youde
in return for their votes on the pri-
mary. The Cummins fellows insisted
on treating an election case on its
merits as statesmen but this more
practical member lamented over a
week ago that Now Old Temple will
go to those democrats and make just
such a DEAL and it looks very much
as tho he did.

Could anything be more practical than
this reference Ito political oblivion,

1T is we'll known fact that our pres
emit United States anti-canteen law,
was placed on the statute books by a
pressure brought to bear on our con-
gressmen by the good temperance
women of this country, and the agita-
ton for its repeal is likely to result in
failure from the same cause. In all of
this discussion no one has dared but
to admit that the best motives actuate
the w. C. r. U. and other kindred as
sociations. But the peculiar part of
the whole business is the utter refusal
of these good women to look at re-
suits The effects of the enforcement

of many officers of the regularly army.
mea with characters beyond impeach-
menD are very bad. The papers are
full of the accounts of assertions, in
creased drunkenness, and increased inn
morality of the private soldier And
yet for the sake of sentiment otherwise
unprejudiced good women keep up an
agitation in favor of a law where prac-
teal working is an admitted failure.
Not every one knows that the Ma
tional Military Home of Ohio issues
rations of beer, the same as our navy
does of tobacco. That since this home
was founded each old soldier has had
beer to drink as ne does his tea and
coffee And that so successful results
of the system are shown, this in the
way of little or no drunkenness in
gathering of old soldiers numbering
nearly 5000 veterans, that no one even
suggests a change. With all due re-
spect to the w. c. T. U. it is suggested
that they appoint committee to visit
the National Military Home of Ohio.
And some of us have an idea that af-
ter such an investigation, they would
not object to the establishment of the
canteen at the Soldiers Home in Mar
shalltown.

ASSISTANT DEMOCRATS.

mer whose office had been declared
vacant thru removal from the district
Whitmer had moved from O'Brien
county to Sioux City. He took most OF
his property with him and made Sioux
City his home. The county auditor OF
O'Brien notified the state adnlinistra-

by removal. O'Brien county elected
Youde to the allegedly vacated place
Whitmer contested, affirming his in
tent to retain residence in O'Brien and
that under the biennial amendment his
term was extended along with others
1t was argued by his supporters that
the statute creating vacancy upon re-
moval is not binding on the present
legislature, that one general assembly
has no right to bind it's successor and
that Mr.. Whitmer COULD be seated

when the result was known news re-
ports indicate that the joy Of the DEM
ocratic contingent was overshadowed
by the intense delight and satisfaction
of the standpat faction that had made
common cause with the democrats to
unseat republican.
OF course Mr.. Youde should not have
been seated simply because he is a
justice because he is a democrat. How
ever, let it be noted that majority
Of republican members of the house
were satisfied that Mr. Youde was en-
titled to the Office. The democrats
stood solidly by Mr.. Whitmer. The
standpat members stood staunchly with
the democrats. A. thirty third degree
standpatter of the railroad type urged
the fight on Youde A few republicans
convinced of Mr.. Whitmer's claim or
for other reasons, voted with the
standpat democratic alliance. That is

Youde is a republican. He favors
the state primary law, is against polit-
ical supremacy of railroads in and
out of Iowa Whitmer is a democrat.
He can be depended upon to vote
against the primary and pay his debt
to the republican faction that seated
him. 1t is whispered that the standpat
support of Whitmer was part of bar
gain whereby the railroad crowd is to
receive democratic aid and allotment
in it's effort to block the primary law.
This is so thoroughly in line with the
railroad practice that the rumor will
be accepted as entirely reasonable, and
the unconcealed happiness of the stand
patters over the defeat of republican
by democrat will be taken as oircum-
stantially corroborative.
