NTHE sHElk RAisuLI.

Swapping his thumbs at the throb OF the
drums
OF the armies that rally to scare him.
Raisuli sits calm meath sheltering palm
And winks at mink in his harem.
They're so not on my trail that ought
to turn pale,
He chuckles. untrnubled and coolly.
"For I've kindle:d their ire and the venge-
ance Is dire
That they'll ,vreak on the sheik Raj
suli!
Then he swings his gaunt knees with in
different sse
Ger the back Of a fiery stallion.
Gallops merrily forth to the sea circled
north
And Games back with captured bat
talon.
He proclaims w.nat he'll do to colonel or
two
Unless they are paid for all duly,
And to get their release the pursuers must
cease
To seek for the sheik Raisuli.
The warships may roar. and whole
army corps
May plot for his swift e4tirpation
And they can't understand 1t because one
lone bandit
Can hand them the harsh exclamation.
Though he's bold and he's bad, we could
almost feel glad
If some. of cur warriors had truly
In the innermost parts Of their battle
Scared hearts
Just a streak Of the Sheik Raisuli.

He is a candidate for the office. There
are excellent reasons why his candi-
dacy should be immediate. Outside of
a sentiment that does not obtain in
any business or in connection with any
other political office there is no reason
why the succession should not be made
at this time. A congressional candi-
dacy of a man of so would not he

candidacy of a younger man has been
Inevitable. 1t is still inevitable.
Analysing the reasons for Mr.. Rob

| that Mr.. Roberts was once a progress
sive. He wrote plank in a plat
form at President McKinleys sugges-
ton which was intended to improve
the present protective tariff law. Be-
cause of the opposition which it
aroused Mr.. Roberts was content to
let this suggestion of reform sleep just
as many other suggested improves

If all legislators were men past so
years old, The public is in need of
senators who will find way to pre-

The man who evades paying his fair

is in what Allison has done, not in

The limit of bigotry has been reached
in northwestern Iowa. where a bunch
of twentY-six misguided people in

monstrance against the running of a
Sunday passenger train on the North
western railroad. 1t is extremely doubt
full if there is any sane religion on
earth that will substantiate the view
that those poor, benighted creatures
take of a public necessity that must be
operated on the Sabbath day. But a
smooth talker can go out into the high

1owANs AS MINE INVESTORS.

(Oedar Rapids Republican,
If there has been no fake mining
companies in the world the people of
Iowa would today have capital enough
to finance all the interurban railroads
that are needed or desired and money
enough left to finance twice as many
manufacturing plants as We have in
the state. Do you for a moment doubt
You have all heard about the thirteen
who met once upon time, we Believe
it was in Davenport and some one
asked all who had invested money in
mining schemes out west, to stand up.
All of them stood up. He then asked
all who had made money out of such
Investments to stand up, and not a
man among them arose to his feet.
But the warning will never be heed
ed. To the second and third genera
ton in Iowa the lesson has been
taught by bitter experience, but still
the state is regarded as a good field in
which to exploit the most extravagant
of such schemes. One man once re-
marked that in Iowa he could finance
a gold mine at the base of the Nortl,
Pole. Suppose the men of Cedar Rap
ids. who have made such investments
that have not paid could be gathered
in one hall, would not the hall be filled?
And suppose the money they have in
vested could be brought in one pile,
would it not be a pile big enough to
start enterprises which would give en-
ployment to as many more men as are
now employed here?

of the Clinton county farm are thickly
covered with Il dense growth Of hazel

Smith resolved to purchase big herd
of goats and tlrn the animals loose in
this tract of ground, believing that In
few months, they will devour the
brush, making the land available for
pasturing. He accordingly purchased
800 goats, the first herd to be intro

Is unsurpassed. The editors, Rev. R.

selves equal to the occasion. There is

volume will be found very elaborate
expositions on the Sunday school les

topics, the truths cleaned from the

these editors upon such a wonderful
