Council Bluffs Business Men Take
Staaa 10 This END.


steps TO This End.
Steps will be taken at the meeting of the
National Horticultural congress Thursday
evening not only to establish headquarters,
but to incorporate. Articles of incorpora-
ton are now being drafted and will be
submitted at the meeting Thursday evening,
The authorized capital stock will be $4,000.
Those in charge of the proposed horti-
cultural exhibition, which II is planned to
hold in this city on the same date as the
National Corn exposition in Omaha. realize
that the proposition must be placed on a
firm financial basis or otherwise abandoned.
A campaign for the subscription of the
stock will be started with a view to raising
The needed funds to carry out the project
TO a successful end. The plan suggested
is TO dispose Of the stock. open to a call
for 10 per cent of the par value, other calls
not to exceed 10 per cent at a time to be
made on a thirty days notice at the pleas
ure OF the officers. the total not to exceed
20 per cent Of the par value.
In accordance with the suggestion made
by Prof. J. Wilkes Jones. president of the
National Corn exposition, the officers Of
the National horticultural congress are
looking about for a competent man to SUI
perintend and manage the details of the
work of preparation for the big show next
December. Secretary Reye is at present in
correspondence with a man who is now In
Joplin, Mo, and It is likely that this party
will be present at the meeting Thursday
evening to talk the matter over with the
local promoters,
The ~loeation Of the proposed headquarters,
Il is expected, will be determined at the
meeting this week, as il is necessary that
there be some place from which the sew
sral committees in charge of the different
branches of the work Of preparation can
carry out their part of the work. The
headquarters will be in charge Of the su-
perintendent, who will have the assistance
Of a stenographer. All meetings of the com-
mittees and the congress will be held al
headquarters instead of in the rooms OF
the Commercial club, as has been the case
70 far.

CANDIDATES co TO OAKLAND
Chairman Lenocker Calls Conference
Of Democrats There.
STILL LACK JUDICIAL AsP1RANT
Pottawattamie County Delegates to
Republican Convention VIII Not
ne Chosen by County
Convention.

Al A. L~enocker, chairman Of the demo-
cratic county central committee, has issued
a call for a conference Of candidates on
the county ticket and party leaders and
workers. to be held next Friday at Oak
land. Friday has been set as democratic
day at the Oakland ~chautauqua, and for
this reason Chairman Lenocker decided II
would be a good opportunity for the can
didates and party workers in the county to
get together and talk over plans for the
approaching campaign in Pottawattamie
county.
The democratic judicial committed has
made no move to secure a candidate for
tudge Of the district court to a X the place
of Attorney Frank Tamisiea of Missouri
Valley, who, after being nominated, de-
cided he did not want to be offered up as
a sacrifice. Present Indications are that
the democrats will allow the nomination to
go by default and that Eugene b. Wood
ruff of Glenwood, the republican candi-
late, will nave a clear field.
It is doubtful II any convention will be

L. Smith, chairman Of the republican
county central committee, is in favor of
having the delegates who attended the
former state convention act in a similar
capacity at the convention to be held in
Des Moines September Q. Although no Of
fetal notice has been received by Chair
man Smith from the state central commit
tee, It was announced from Des Molnes that
the state committee had suggested that
county convention be held August 20 to
select delegates for the extra state con-
ventlon. Mr.. Smith said no definite action
would be taken until the official call is

Compare Van Camps with your home-baked beans in
a similar way. And don't feel badly when your people
decide that ours are infinitely better. Consider the work
that you save.
People want their beans nutty, mealy and whole. They
want the skins unbroken. They want the tomato sauce
baked into the beans to give our delicious blend.
That's what they get in Van Camps. The reason is,
we bake in live steam. You bake in dry heat. Your
beans are mushy, soggy and broken. Ours remain nutty
because they are whole.
Yours are crisped on the top and haf-baked in the
middle. Ours are thoroughly baked clear through
Your beans are only partly d~igestible. They ferment
and form gas. Ours are wholly digestible-they don't
form gas.
That's because of our terrific heat. We separate the
particles so the digestive juices can get to them.
So it isn't your fault-it's your lack of facilities-that
makes our beans SO much better than yours.

A great many people claim to sell beans that are just
as good as ours. We invite you to prove their claims.
It is a very easy matter to serve both brands together,
then take a vote of your table. Let the majority rule.
Do the same with your home-baked beans-serve them
with Van Camps. Ask your folks which they want
next.
We fear no competition. We have not built up the
largest trade in the world without a reason for it.
One great difference usually lies in the original beans.
Some beans cost but a fraction of what we pay.
We buy only the choicest of Michigan beans, and have
them picked over by hand. We accept only the whitest,
the plumpest, the fullestgrown. All inferior beans are
discarded.
The makers who use what we discard Of course save a
great deal of money. That's why some beans are pushed.
Another great difference lies in the tomato sauce. We
could buy sauce ready-made for exactly one-ffth what
we spend to make ours.
But we use only whole, vine-ripened tomatoes-not
tomatoes picked green; not scraps from a canning fac

THE aUEBEc BRIDGE DISASTER.

The Royal Commission has concluded
its five months of careful investigation
of the great Quebec bridge disaster.
and apparently the inquiry was skilful-
ly conducted and thoro. The conclu-
sion that the Commission arrives at is
that the collapse was due to the failure
of the lower chords near the main pier,
and that this was due to defective de-
sign. All the material used was good
and the workmanship faithful. but
grave error was made in assuming the
dead load at too low value. The
stresses were higher than had ever been
known in the past, and aHho the en-
gineers were of the highest ability and
conscientious in their work, they made
a fatal error in calculation. which error.
however, might have been expected.
owing to the imperfect state of our
knowledge at present on certain great
strains and stresses. The Commission
believes that our knowledge is not yet
sufficient to enable bridges of that size
to be designed economically. This con-
cIusion is not accepted by engineers
generally, many claiming that by using
the same weight of steel in a different
form a bridge could have been built up
at Quebec that would have been entirely
safe under any circumstances that
might be expected.

We are rather fond of Roger C.
Sullivan, of Illinois. First, because
he is a brainy, positive, man who has
ideas of his own, and those ideas are in
the main good. Next, because he
gave William Jennings Bryan the stiff
est bluff the Peerless One ever re-
ceived, and won out on it. Now, Mr..
Sullivan has another attractive move in
mind and proposes to lead a train of
touring cars from Chicago to Denver,
leaving June 27, and arriving July 4.
Each touring car will seat seven pas
sengers, and ''lorry'' will bring up
the rear carrying the baggage. The
train will make from 125 to $50 miles
day, stopping at towns by the way,
and making call on Bryan at Lin
coin, Neb. This will be quite a spec
tacular performance and is worthy the
fertile brain of MIR. Sullivan in adver-
tising the Democratic Party. 1t will
do good otherwise in advancing the
science of automobiling and showing
its possibilities. There is probability
that it will do much toward bringing
the automobile into competition with
the railroads as a means of transporta-
ton.

There is much anxiety in commercial
circles in Germany over a threatened
movement on the part of the United
States to compel the owners of profit
able foreign patents to establish their
workshops in this country. This re-
fers particularly to the great Aniline
Dye Industries, in which Germany
leads the world. We pay Germany
every year some $25.0e0, 900 for coal
tar dyes, the use of which is protected
by patents, and it is believed that in
accordance with our protective policy
the dyes should be made in this coun-
try. The Germans speak of retaliation.

A DEFENSE OF wIRz.

tention in the papers of the country is
a defense af Majs Henri Wirz. writer
by James Madison Page, formerly g
Second Lieutenant in Co. A. 9Th Mich
Cav. Mr.. Page holds the Government
of the United States. thru Secretary
Stanton. responsible for the existence
of the prison pen and the death OF
the soldiers. This alone shows how
thing that savors of history. No mat.
ter what the polity Of our Government
and of Secfetary Stanton was with re-
gard to exchange, it afforded no earth
ly justification to the Confederates fol
misusing their prisoners. 1t Is COM
mon thing in wars for Nations to refuse
to exchange prisoners, but this does not
justify in the least any violation of the
laws of war, and Mr.. Page shows him.
self absolutely incapable when he takes
that view of the matter. Page de-
scribes Wirz thus:
There was a quiet, subdued express
sion of sadness in his countenance, par
ticularly in his eyes. Further. the
Major was slim in build, of good hight
and with a handsome face. There was
nothing of that Short. thick-set Dutch
man, repulsive in appearance. besotted,
ignorant and cruel, we hear about. or
of a countenance denoting ferocity and
brutality"
Mr.. Page says that he was we'll ac-
quainted with Wirz. This implies a
grave suspicion. Only those Union
fa1
who belonged to that ignoble class of
parasites which toadied and flattered
the prison-keeper in order to get favors
from him. The rest of us in that
prison had little opportunity to get
acquainted with Wirz beyond his ex-
hibitions Of brutality and cruelty which
he made in public and before the eyes
of all Of US.
Mr.. Page says this about Wirz's
trial:
Thus ended the greatest judicial
farce enacted since Oliver Cromwell in
stituted the commission to try and con-
denim Charles I. But the condemna-
tion of Henry Wirz was the more pro-
nounced outrage of the two, for the
of Charles I. were accorded
like decent burial, where
as the body of Maj. Henri Wirz was
consigned without ceremony to the
prison yard at Washington"
1t is somewhat presumptuous, to say
the least, for Second Lieutenant to
pass such curt condemnation upon a
court ordered by the Presidents of the
United States and composed of some
of the abIest men in the country who
conducted its proceedings with all the
dignity of a high tribunal and gave its
verdict with full sense of the re-
sponsibility of judges occupying their
position. 1t will take far
more than the testimony Of Mr.. Page.

The statement that an heiress is to

from the old story of women marrying

''huntress." and chasing down the man
whom she has picked out for her hus-
band 1t is rather startling, however.

The land grabbers and timber
thieves have got their deadly work in,
and made sure that they will not here
after be molested by the trained
sleuths in the Treasury Secret Service.
They hope that in the future the de-
tectives put upon their trail will not
be of such high order, and can be
easier baffled. Chairman Tawney, of
the House Appropriation Commit
tee, has led the fight against the en-
ployment of the BLACK Cabinet" and
made much pow WOW which has sue
ceeded in having provision that the
Treasury operators shall confine them
selves to their legal duties of detect
ing the counterfeiters and protecting
the President This result was not Sc
cured without a stiff fight in which it
was plainly stated that there was no
basis for the charges and that the peo-
pie OF the United States were not in
daily acts spied on by a system of
espionage such as that in Russia and
the Latin countries. The assertions
were that if the other Departments de-
sire Secret GServfce men they should
employ them out of their own funds
and keep them Under their own direc-
ton. Against this it was said with
force that 1t was DIETER to have all the
sleuths under one head, well organized,
and on standing that would COM
mand the best services available.
