dentallys the people. Already, lit is
claimed, the publicity of the methods
Of the Standard Oil and some of the

ment of many of the evils.
President Roosevelt and the republi-
cans in congress have more than sus-
tanned the reputation of the republican
party for Doing things, things that
should be done for the protection of
the best interests of the people and
the prosperity of the nation. The
prominent part that the Iowans in. the
senate and the house took in this i'm
,portant legislation will not be forgot
ten by the people of Iowa. The repub-
lican' have been true to the confidence
reposed in them and will enter the
congressional fight next fall with the
prospects for waging an enthusiastic
and winning campaign brighter than
ever before.

HENRIK IBsEN.

New York Sun:-The very name of
Ibsen suggests storm. Like Wagner,
he had to do his work amid the thun-
der and lightning Of criticism. OPP
posed for long as a daring innovator,
he was approaching the end of his ca
reer when he was accepted as the
greatest dramatist Of modern times.
To many intelligent persons in this
country and in England, the Norweg-
ian genius stood for dangerous new
ideas and the bald presentation Of
them in gloomy PLAYS. Ghosts when
first translated. brought forth howls of
indignant and incoherent protest. "a
Dolls House. was regarded, strangely
enough, as an attack, not merely on
the family, but on society itself.
Loves Comedy" irritated the senti-
mental as burlesque of the tender
emotions. 1t was pointed out that If
blunt truth telling was glorified in can
Enemy of the People," the danger of
frankness in season and out of sea-
son was demonstrated in "The Wild
Duck" The heroine of "Hedda Cab

the leading female figures in .Rosmer-
sholm', and 1.-THE Master Builder" were
dismissed as mysteries that could not
be solved.
The greatest injustice done to Ibsen
was the result of the failure to see
that he had no message, no theory on
the subject of life and society, right
or wrong, morality or immortality, and
that he was interested in his charac-
tiers as characters and nothing more;
If Nora left her dolls house 1t did
not follow that 1bsen was In favor of
all Noras doing likewise. 1t was suf-
ficient that for his purposes this one
made that dramatic exist.
Many We're acquainted only with the
prose dramas, and did not consider the
humor Of peer Gynt" or the tragedy
of Brand" But. even these two books
do not give an adequate idea of 1bsen
the poet. 1.-THE Pretenders" and "The
Vikings Of Helgeland" have the true
epical quality to them
1bsen as is shown by his recently
published letters was not patriotic"
In the ordinary sense Of the word. He
had the Scandinavian spirit, if he had
not the narrow Norwegian spirit. He
went into exile because his country
failed to stand by Denmark against
Prussia. He painted his fellow coun-

like 1t any more than the intellectuals
of Russia liked the figure they count
in the novels of Tourgenef. Indeed,
there Is a great likeness between the
characters Of the two Titans Of the
North.
Ibsen's influence is to be found
showing itself everywhere in the
drama Of today, even in the work of
those who hated his plays and were
incapable Of realizing his command
ing genius.

POPE Plus III


According to the reports Pope Plus
K. is very i'll at the Vatican. Those
who have visited him say that he has
changed much in appearance and he
has lost much of his vivacity and en-
ergy. Although there has been moth
Ing In the press dispatches to indicate
that the illness is likely to result fatal
ly, the Kansas City Journal thinks that
il may not be long until another con-
clave is called to choose a successor
to Pope Plus. 1t says:
1t has been scarcely three years
since the elevation of Joseph Sarto 70
the highest dignity in the Catholic
world. His election was hailed as a
most happy one in insuring long
tenantry of an Office wherein frequent
change is considered inadvisable. Car
dinal Sarto, for such he was before
the conclave following the death of
Leo Kill, was remarkable for his
splendid physical appearance. Tall,
stalwart and the picture of robust
health, he came to the Vatican in the
very prime of splendid manhood.
His whole career had been one of con-
slant activity, but he had spent much
of the time out of doors, going about
over his parish or his diocese. Unlike
many of his confreres, he enjoyed to-
bacco, liked social game of cards
and was never happier than in the as
ISOLATION of his cronies where his wit
and fame as a story teller was firmly
established. Unlike his predecessor,
Leo Kill, who sprang from noble
family, Sarto was from the common
people. His brother is an innkeeper
and one of his sisters is married to a
tobacconist. He lived simply, humbly
and without the least ostentation, vet
his parish and his diocese were mod.
els and gained from Inc great Leo that
distinguished appointment as patriarch
rof Rome.
ut is not stronge, therefore, that
this simple-minded gentleman, this
good fellow among men in the best
sense Of the world, this democratic
scholar, should have found the career
Of a prince Of the church exceedingly
irksome. His life was completely re.
versed. No longer could he go about
among his people teaching by example
and precept the beauty of religious OBJ
servance. His talent was for far stern
er things. Several weighty matters
came up that caused him great worry.
The defeat of the church party in
France was one Of the most disastrous
blows the Vatican had received in
many years, and it was felt keenly by
Piux x. The cares of this and other
important issues have combined to sap
his physical vitality. With no oppor-
tunity of recuperation, there is good
reason for the fear that the time is
not far distant when a new conclave
will be called to elect another pope"

SYSTEM ATTACKED.

george n. WOooSoH DoeS Not dvOr
Amendment Of Senator Foraker.
At the final meeting Of the Fedora
ton of Colored Woman's clubs of Iowa
yesterday in Des Moines, George H
Woodson Of Oskaloosa suggested that
the federation could do much good If
1t would send the Iowa delegation in
congress a telegram urging it's mem
bers to oppose the Foraker amend
ment to the railroad rate regulation
bill which seems to protect the jim
crow car system of the south. The
following from the Register and
Leader tells Of the meeting:
"Mr. Woodson explained the matter
to the women at the meeting in st.
Paul's church yesterday and urged
that they could exercise perhaps an
effective influence on the Iowa con-
gressmen in the matter. He said that
the Foraker amendment virtually le-
galized the system in the south by
which the street and steam coaches
on car lines are divided into compart-
ments for colored and white people.
There is difference of opinion
among colored men as to whether the
Foraker amendment actually does this
thing, or not, but there seems to be
such widespread belief that It does,
that colored people all over, the caun-
try are expressing themselves against
the amendment. and asking their con-
gressmen to fight it's adoption by the
national house. 1t has passed the ma
tional senate and may be passed by
the conference committee.
"The movement has been started in
the sixth district in which majority
of the colored people OF Iowa reside,

~ FHn u F1Ai DoCo tltlNS0
Several important measures are now
before congress which are expected to
become laws before final adjournment
5 taken. The pure food bill and the
hilippine bill have each passed one
use and strong effort is being made
put them through the other. The
ed of determining whether the Pan
ma canal shall be of the lock level or
"a level type is so urgent that some
,tion is expected at this session. The
anto Domingo treaty is still before
ne senate and will probably be given
attention when some of the larger
measures are disposed of.
The present session of congress has
,een a notable one in many ways and
much legislation which promises to
,e of vast benefit to the people. has
)een enacted. The demand of the peo-
ne was for government control of the
ilroads and a bill giving the inter-
ate commerce commission power to
dust rates found to be unreasonable
vas passed by both the house and SEN
,. The bill is now In conference and
is probable that it will BIZ finally
ssed with but little change in the
! lendments made in the senate. The
ilway corporations fought the pas
sage of the bill from start to finish
ind no effort was spared to get an
amendment to the bill that would rem
der the measure of little effect or un-
constitutional. The denatured alcohol
,ill is another measure that is ex-
pected to be of considerable benefit to
the people 1t was strenuously op-
posed by the Standard Oil trust but
passed both houses of congress and is
now ready for the signature of the
President. The statehood bill is still
n conference AMI although the senate
made considerable changes in the bill
as passed by the house it is expected
hat Oklahoma and Indian Territory
will be admitted as one state before
congress adjourns.
Another important feature of the
present session of congress was the
report Of Commissioner Garfield re-
garding his Investigations of the
Standard Oil trust and rebates by the
railroads and the report as to the con
ditions of the packing houses in the
country which resulted in the passage
Of bill providing for the inspection
f the packing plants by the govern
ent. The inquiry conducted by the
lterstate Commerce commission re-
riding the Standard Oil methods of
nshing competition and the giving of
ebates by the railroads, and the in
estigation of the charges that certain
fithe coal carrying railroads were Civ
n stock in coal companies for favors
granted in the way OF cars has brought
about some startling revelations that

to influence Representative Lacey
against the amendment, and the col

able to do the business in congress. At
least he will make every effort. The
suggestion from Mr.. Woodson yester-
day was to the effect that the federat-

hold up the hands of the other con-
gressmen from Iowa in aid of Major
