UNDER MARTIAL LAW.
Lisbon, Portugal, Said to Be a Hot
bed of Rebellion.

LispOn, Nov. 23.-The city of Lisbon
is now practically under martial law.
Three generals are known to have been
relieved of their commands. and, ac-
cOrding to reports, some 800 political
prisoners have been placed on board a
cruiser. which left this port immediate
ly afterward. Their version OF the ru-
NOR is that the officers of the cruiser
were disaffected. Rebellion is said TO
be rampant in the navy.
An official statement given out by
the government tonight declares that
the situation in Portugal has been
grossly misrepresented. 1t says:
The fantastic rumors concerning
members of the royal family. the at
titude of the military forces and po-
litical leaders as well as the stories of
an outbreak against order, are abso-
lutely without foundation"

Convict Train peraiIed.

What came near being a serious acct
dent happened this afternoon at East
Highlands, when the train which takes
the convict miners to and from the prison
to No. mines split a switch and de-
rallied two cars
The train was backing up to the prison
when the switch was split and 1t is said
that one car turned completely ON its
side. while the other remained upright,
but was turned across the rails.
A singular and remarkable feature
about the accident was that no one was
hurt, although the cars were well filled
with eonvicts.

their other qualifications are up to the
Iowa standard.
In due time there viii be much
greater percentage of native-born OIL
flee holders, because as the state
grows older the percentage of native
born population will be- greater. The
present situation Is the natural one
and nobody has a license to make adj
verse comments thereon.
Any Iowan would resent the state
ment by a native of Oregon or Cali
fornia OF Washington, that neither OF
those states should select native office
holders in preference TO man who
happened to be born In Iowa. And
Iowa has sent plenty OF young men to
the far west, where they have been ac-
tive in the affairs of the common
wealths.
All but very few OF the Iowa
state officials and the congressman
from this state are natives of other
states. The average age of these men
must be in the neighborhood of forty
five to fifty years. Probably IL these
men averaged fifty years of age theY
would also average forty years as
residents Of Iowa. Can any native
be more of an Iowan than is each of
these men?

welt. "Cut it out"

Cedar Rapids Gazett,

N1cuSll Is6tplttS NIelASltSJ
"I wish The Gazette would puncture
the idea that it is to the discredit of
the state that a majority of her office
holders Gin prominent positions) are
natives of other states" This state
ment was made by prominent local
attorney who was discussing an ar
ticle which recently appeared in the
morning paper and which has been
copied by some other Iowa papers.
The attorney in question thought 1T
made no difference where man was
born so long as he gave the state good
service. And The Gazette fully agrees
with him. There is not even a SEN
timental reason of any weight for al
leging that the state is discredited be-
cause most of it's principal office hold
ers are not natives of Iowa.
Iowa, like other mid-western states,
was peopled largely by immigrants
from the east That immigration was
at it's height after the war and up to
1880. Naturally the boys of that
period, who came with their parents
from the east. are the active men OF
TODAY. They are just as much
Iowans lust as thoroughly fmbued
with the idea that Iowa is the best
state in the union, as If their parents
had come to the state before these men
were born. The man who was born in
Ohio, or New York, or Pennsylvania,
or some other eastern state. looks so
much like a native IoWan that no one
can tell the difference. The men who
had the good sense to choose Iowa as
home and the men of today who had
parents with such, good sense as to
settle in Iowa are certainly entitled to
