NO TARIFF TlNkERlNc

A coterie of Massachusetts, repub
mean congressman have been eadeav.
orlng to get a republican caucus to
declare in favor of tariff revision Nv
an extra session of congress in the
spring or summer of 1907. But they
nave tailed to interest any consider.
aDfe number of their party friends in
their chamber in this idea. Instead
OF securing a majority of the repubn.
cans OF the mouse to sign their peti.
tlon for a caucus they have NOT got a
twentieth of them.
Nothing but a pressing demand in
which large majority of the people
are Interested ever justifies the call.
ing of congress in an extra session.
There is no popular demand for tariff
revision either in 1907 or in 1908.
The country is more prosperous than
1t ever has been in the past. All the
great interests are buster than ever
before. The output of iron and steel
these days is passing all former fig
ures. Our foreign trade for the cal
endar year 1906 passed the $4,000.
100000 mark. We lead England in
the extent of our exports, and Eng.
land led the world until we got ahead
of her. Our imports and our exports
are breaking all our records. Our
domestic commerce is harder to com.
pute. rC eludes our statisticians. Us
ually, however, it is estimated to be
about ten times as great as our tor.
eign commerce. For the calendar
year 1906, the home trade of the Unit
ed States must have been in the
of $4,000, 100000.
In the decade in which the coun-
try's population has grown about 22
per cent, It's sales of manufactured
goods abroad have expanded over 200
per cent. Moreover, the exports of
are growing faster than
are those of any other class of arti-
cles. While the manufactures ex-
ports amounted to 26 per cent of the
country's aggregate exports of all
sorts of goods in 1896, they amounted
to over 40 per cent of the aggregate
shipments in 1906. These facts show
hat our factories are not cramped in
any dangerous way by the present
Tariff schedules. They also show
why there is 40 popular demand for
,ariff revision by the incoming con-
gress, either in extra or regular ses-
sion.

Mr.. LEE WILL LEAVE.
Resigns Position As Manager 0ska-
loosa Dry Goods Co.

c. r. Lee, manager of the Oska-
loosa Dry Goods Company, has re-
signed his position, effective today,
February first. Mr.. Lee is succeeded
in the management of the business by
Mr.. II. T. Upton, who comes to the
city with the highest of recommends
tons.
Mr.. Lee has been with the company
during the past two years and has
been successful in the management of
the business. His departure from the
city is regretted by large circle of
friends who have known him since his
residence here. The gentleman is as
yet undecided concerning his work or
location in the future. He will take
a needed rest of several weeks dura-
tioa before entering upon further &C.
cupation.

be a mere vulgar display OF values.
The Outsider knows nothing more
innately and irredeemably vulgar
than the question of the cost OF pres.
ents. The spirit of the giver is what
counts. That is the lesson parents
need most to emphasize at Christmas
time.-or any other time.
One of the most painful occurrences
the Outsider remembers, was at a
Christmas time. A little boy, en-.
tnusiastic, loving and harj-working
sent trifiing picture to a dearly
loved relative. 1t was of little value,
but it meant his own exertioas, and
his dear love. The recipient forgot
to mention it and the child's heart
was broken.
Let Christmas be the happy time
in the home, the gala day for the
children, and do not let them forget
why 1t Is so. Let them early learn
to be generous and unselfisn, TO make
others happy on that holy day.
But incidentally the Outsider would
observe that between the rugged op.
posite paths of ''lie or don't lie," there
lies beautiful, smiling road of kind.
ness and tact, that comes out at the
haven of truth all the same.

PANIC ON FAST TRAIN
GOLDEN STATE LIMITED JUMPS
TRACK ON RIVER BRIDGE
AT DAVENPORT.

Davenport, Iowa, Feb 2.-The pas.
sengers on the Golden STAGE limited.
the Rock Islands California and Chi
cago train, were saved from being
thrown into the Mississippi river OF
the high government bridge here this
afternoon by the fact that the Orders
of the bridge were strong enough to
uphold the train, several coaches
leaning on the Orders when the train
came to standstill after humping
over the steel ties for 100 yards.
Just after the engine had passed
onto the bridge the journal of the
tender broke, throwing it and all the
coaches but the last one from the
rails at that point. The train was
behind time and going at a rate thar
carried nearly all the coaches onto
the bridge before it stopped.
Their zigzag course over the ties
carried them against the sides of the
bridge and only the fact that it is
the strongest structure on the river
prevented terrible catastrophe.
The passengers were panic strick-
en- as the coaches bumped against
the sides of the bridge and were glad
to get out of the train onto the ties
after it stopped. Bent axles and
broken beams of the seven derailed
coaches gave the wreckers a hard
job and blocked the track for several
hours.

BAPTIST COLLEGES.

Sentiment is one of the compelling
forces of the universe, and tradition
has more to do with influencing men
than they care to admit. 1t is hard
to wipe out memories, and difficult to
turn people from their accustomed
paths.
These automatic statements may be
applied to many conditions and things
with propriety, but to no thing with
more accuracy than to the college sit
uation in Iowa, observes the Burling-
ton Hawk-Eye. Tradition and se1ti-
ment are the very fires which warm
them and the memories of the past
are the greatest incentives they have
to further and better development.
For years there has been trouble be-
tween those who stood sponsor for the
Baptist college at Pella, in Marion
county, land those who were supporters
of the Baptist college at Des Moines.
Each is a struggling institution and
each AYERS that its path to indepenu-
ence would be rosy and without a
thorn was there no other school to
draw it's sustenance from the Tenomi-
nation which seems scarce able to
support the two. All sorts of plans
have been proposed to settle the
controversies; and as is often the
case, the last of these is worse than
the first.
Some good people at Wa 'rloo want
the two colleges mentioned to be de.
graded to the standard of preparatory
schools alone, and have them act as
feeders to a school TO be established
at Waterloo, this last to be the Bap-
fist college of the state. 1t is a poor
plan. There are schools enough in
Iowa now. What is wanted is more
support for those whose roots are al,
ready down deep in the history and
tradition of the state.
In this connection the Cedar Rap.
ids Republican outlines some facts
concerning the school. Central col
lege at Pella, it says, is one of the
very oldest institutions of higher ed
ucation in this state. IL was founIed
in 1851 and established in 1858. Iowa
college, Grilnell, was founded at about
the same time, but we believe there
is no other that compares with it in
point of years. Des Moines was al
that time hardly more than a fort. II
was hardly out of the Indian reserva
ton. The Baptists were strong in the
Iowa of that day, especially in the
southern part of the state. They gave
an impetus to their school that was
marvellous. When the dark days OF
the early sixties came, Central univer
sity, as it was then called, had an en-
rollment of about three hundred stu
dents, an enrolment of which some
Iowa colleges would be proud now
fifty-three years after. When the wal
broke out Central college all but
closed its doors. Every student old
enough to bear arms enlisted In the
war, some 100 in all. 1t Is literally
true that not one able-bodied student
old enough TO enlist, remained behind
The young women were not less patri
otto. Many of them went as nurses
and in other ways helped to bear the
burdens of the war. There is now
in the college library a slab which
contains the names of nearly thirty Of

LACEY AND THE BIRDS.

BEACON.

Tuesday, Jan. 30, 1907, over one
hundred invited friends went with
well filed baskets to the home OF
Mrs. Mary Fry, (who was a daughter
of Joshua Price and wife of the late
Homer Fry), and pleasantly surprised
her. The afternoon was spent by
singing WEIGH hymns and talking OF
other days by the older folks. In
the evening the younger people came
in and made merry until a late hour
with singing and reciting. True
friends are never happy unless they
make another heart glad. This was
the case when Rev. r. w. Hughes, in
his pleasant way, made a neat little
speech, which was followed by his
wife, Mrs. R. w. Hughes, presenting
Mrs. Fry with a purse of $41.70,-
$27.25 from Beacon and $14.45 from
Oskaloosa and Evans friends. The
frienrls were at loss as to what 70
buy the lady, so left it to her good
judgment. Supper was served, after
which the guests departed at late
hour. During the evening Jenkin d
Reese wrote and read the following
"Onee more we have met here in Bea
