What | Saw And Heard

There are some people in this world
who imagine that they know everything
and cannot be taught anything 1t is al
ways well to listen to those who are
able to give you advice.
l have heard nothing about the lily
whites for some time 1t is too amusing
to see people so foolish.
| do wish that Dr. Chancellor would
thoroughly investigate Normal School
No. and its methods 1t seems to me
that something should be done to stop
the complaints that are being made daily
against that school Every year some
one is charged with favoritism.
I am glad to see so much enthusiasm
manifested in beh,-lf of the Young Mems
Christian Association. I firmly believe
that the association will be successful in
raising the necessary funds to meet the
gift of Mr. John Rockefeller.
There is not much interest manifested
in the jamestown Exposition. Mrs.
Curtis threatens to resign because there
seems to be a great deal of discrimina-
ton. The government will place at the
head of the colored exposition the nee
essary officers to protect its interest.
I understand that Col Giles B. Jack
son has. nothing to do with the Exposi-
ton. Thomas J. Galloway has been
placed in charge and will no doubt have
more to say that any other individual
Mr.. F. F Cooper has been placed in
another temporary position. I have
never been able to learn why he was
suspended or furloughed from the Cen
sus Office.
I am in favor of investigating
certain preachers in the city and see

pulpit A man who is always singing
hymns and having his hands crossed
over his heart is more or less a pious
hypOcrite. You can always tell a hypo-
crite. He will never do things in the

FAIRPLAY.
IS II A CONSPIRACY2

Slowly but surely the web of con-
spiracy is being woven around the necks
of some people who have conspired to
ruin the character and reputation of
certain teachers in the Armstrong Man
ual Training School It is quite evident
that there is a certain clique that has
no influence with the schools and are
personally opposed to the principal of
the Armstrong Manual Training School.
The whole conspiracy will be exposed
in few days. The Board of Educa-
ton has been thoroughly convinced that
the principal is a victim Of prejudice.
So far as DR.. Evans being lily white,
he has less prejudice against dark-skin-
ned teachers than those who have cir
culated this malicious lie. His best
teachers in the Armstrong Manual
Training School are very dark but very
talented and we'll qualified The Bee is
in possession of certain facts that will
warrant an investigation of certain in
dividuals who are passing as great NOR
alists and reformers. The Bee is Of
the opinion that these individuals are
walking upon very thin ice.

LINCOLN AND DOUGLASS.

When Frederick Douglass called at

him:
First-You must give colored soldiers
the same pay that you give white SOL
diers.
Second-You must compel the Con-
federate States to treat colored soldiers
who are captured, as prisoners Of war.
Third-When any colored man or SOL
der performs brave, meritorious ex-
ploits in the field, you must enable me
to say to them that they will be pro-

white men promoted for similar SER

Fourth-In case any colored soldiers
are murdered in cold blood and taken
prisoners, you should retaliate in kind.

THE NEW STORY.

The opening chapters of an excellent
detective story, 1.-THE Marathon Mys-
terry occupy part OF the fifth page OF
today's issue Of the Times Republican
and that large number Of our read
ers who have missed the serial feature
and have made its absence subject
matter for complaint, will do well 70
begin with the first chapter. Mr.. Bur-
ton e. Stevenson has given us some
thing out Of the ordinary in this story
which is better and OF more sustained
interest than his Holiday Case" which
appeared some months ago in the T.-R.
and met with exceptional favor. From
the opening words to the close OF the
Marathon Mystery" the interest Is
never allowed to lag. It's action Is rapid
and the plot sufficiently puzzling to
keep sustained the charm and absorp-
ton OF uncertainty. A shrewd news
paper man, capable detective, a beau
tiful and suspected girl. a wronged
creole who avenges her ruin in a ter
rible manner and scoundrel who gets
his deserts are the principal dramatis
personae. The action takes us into two
and introduces new.

publican does not want them to.
THE kind of primary some Of us
would like Is the countrywide pri-
mary" says the Republican. "That
would be primary which would per
nit the voters OF a party in a county
to select their own delegates to the
state conventions. The state is too
large a unit. Our state conventions
have been great gatherings and they
have been great educators argues the
Republican. And they certainly have.
Ed Hunters proposal to have a state
central committee throw out enough
delegations to- steal control from the
men who had fought for and won
majority of the convention and the
proposed, was great educator. Federal
office holders who deliberately refused,
In Montgomery county, to vote accord
ing to the instructions of their county
wide primary was also an educator.
The greater portion of last summers
was an educator but not ex-
actly vote getter for the Countrywide
primary.
The admission OF the Republican
should simplify the issue. The T.-R.
has predicted that there still remained
an element in the republican party
which did not want a statewide pri-
mary law. Such prediction was based
upon the axiom that leopard will not
change its spots. Every member OF
the legislature who goes to Des Moines
must face this primary. proposition.
Every voter must be given an oppor-
tunity to vote directly for nomina-
ton for state Office and have his vote
counted or else we better had restrict
the suffrage to those who are intelli-
gent enough to use such ballot for
the good OF the state.

PROTECT THE GAME.

The proposition that the game laws
be amended and that all resident hunt
ers in Iowa take out a license seems
to meet the approval of genuine sports
men thruout Iowa. 1t ought to be
heartily seconded by the hundreds OF
thousands who never shoot and who
do not fish. For, after all, it is not a
measure designed for the special bene-
fit of the sportsman, but for the good
Of the state and all of the people with
in it's boundaries. For there is more
in preservation Of game than mere
shooting. There is more than merely
adding to our food supply, altho that
alone would be an important consider
alton. There is the immense benefit
that accrues to the farmer thru the
propagation and protection of many OF
the so-called game birds which de-
stroy untold numbers of insects against
which the farmer can protect himself
in no other way.
The small license will enable the
state to engage sufficient number OF
good, competent, trustworthy men, to
enforce the laws for the protection OF
fish and game. And as the neighbor-
ing state of Illinois has taught US, with
that little license fee, much more can
be done. The propagation of game
birds can be begun on large scale.
And then, within a very few years
these birds can be supplied to hunters
and farmers everywhere who will give
them a reasonable amount of care and
protection. Illinois is far ahead OF
every other state in the country in this
respect. And surely Iowa, that leads
in SO many other respects, will not long
be content to lag behind in this inn
portant matter.
When the proposed law comes up be-
fore the legislature it ought to be
adopted without dissenting vote. 1t
is something that will cost the state
treasury nothing and that will add very
much to the wealth Of the state. More
than even the most enthusiastic advo-
Gates Of the measure could estimate
with the slightest degree OF accuracy.
It is proposition that can harm no
one and that will be opposed by no
.

in the larger cities and towns report
never before have so many expensive
sales been made, so many expensive
presents given. This is as true of toys
as furniture, of books as OF jewelry
People this year had money to buy
nice presents, and made them.
Another thing in the line of central
ization shows more and more each
year, in the hotel business. Twenty
years ago nearly all towns had hotel
that was doing good business. Now,
In the smaller towns the hotel man,
with here and there an exception, only
makes a bare living, while In the larger
towns and cities the proprietors Of the
big hotels ARE coming money" The
transient travel shows why this is so.
Few,if any, travelling men make a prac-
tice of staying over night in the small
town. More railroads and more trains
and some figuring on the part of the
knight Of the grip, brings him every
night to the larger town. Some men
whose business compels them to stay
where night overtakes them, get some
advantages by this, for in the small
hotel in the small town they get "the
bridal chamber" every night.

has been Godsend in many respects.
Owing to the scarcity Of help thousands
Of acres of corn were not husked on
December 1st. Trainmen on the Tama
and Hawarden run, tell Of hundreds Of
acres in sight Of their daily trips that
only a third or a half of the crop was

pile on Christmas day, rejoiced that
so little impression had been made on
it. Still with sorrow he remembers
other years where on the first of jan
nary he figured and told his wife, well
have coal to sell on the first of May
but he didn't.
The statement has often been made
that the egg and poultry business of
this country, figures up each year,
more than the gold, silver, iron, coal,
lumber output or any other one bus
mess And its probably true. For in
stance, C. L. Turner, of Iowa Falls, will
not be classed with the big shippers
like Swift & Co. Yet in the month of
November he shipped from Iowa Falls
twenty carloads of live and dressed
poultry. When one figures a carload
of live chickens is worth $1,000, and
that hundreds of shippers the country
over are doing as much business as

tho just now eggs are scarce, there is

day, paying "a cents dozen; this too.

The Christmas trade this year brings
outreports showing the trend Of the
times. Considerable inquiry seems to
establish the fact that Christmas, 1906,
made the big cities have the biggest
trade they have ever had. Des Moines
and Sioux City both claim such trade.
But the small town dealer. knowing of

the Oregons, we say the OaRegans; you
talk of the Michigan, we talk Of Mick

are O'Reilly. To what nation, IL not
to Ireland could the Micmacs or the
Mackinacks belong? Wisconsin's
Oconomowocs owe their origin to an
incident of travel. AS tribe or clan

OlConnor fell behind. When someone
said wait the chief settled the matter
by saying O'Connor may walk; hence

the excess of imports over exports is
due to the habit of her patriotic sons
