The Treaty of Paris

THAT much of North America would one
day look up to their city may have proudly
passed through its founders minds. but even
the large visioned Hamilton could hardly have
foreseen Governors riding forth from its gates
to rule in a distant continent. Yet thus tar

But to persuade the Senate OF the United
States was a task less easy LuZon and the
NizCayans were words that sounded strange
in American ears, and viccroy at Manila
seemed to move anonymously within the
clauses of the Constitution. \ third OF the
Senators remained undazzled by possessions
on the neither side of the earth and when the

But even among the Democrats the White
House had showered army commissions and

the lobby, and, swinging his arms exultingly
to the group OF expeCtant reporters, he shouted,

how by Just the necessary two-thirdS Ayes

The Filipinos and the Constitution
A FEW years later, and the fate of the Philip

ut may be said in reply to Mr.. How
ellis suggestion that railroad trestles
and right of-way are forbidden to the
public and that theH use by pedes-
trians is plain trespass. 1t is but sim
pie fairness to the railroads to exon
crate them for blame of such unfor-
tunate accidents as the one referred
to. If the law is to be invoked to
demand precautionary action on tho
part of the railroads it would be nee
essary to create a great deal Of I'M
just legislation as to private property
used without right by the public. 1t
would extend to factories, etc, and
work injustice. The fact is that none
have any right to the use of the right
Of -way, either as a foot path or a
wagon road, more than to similar use
of Mr.. Howell's front door-yard or his
field of grain. At grade crossings and
other thoroughfares for the use of the
public the lines can not be drawn too
strictly. However, Mr.. Howells sug-
gestion is one that railroad managers
may we'll heed from a humanitarian
point of view, and one that would save
life and limb.]

HOW I0 wore EoR CuMMlAs.

Inquiries coming to the T-R. office
would indicate fear among the voters
that there is some mystery about the
machinery of the special senatorial pri-
mary ballot. There is nothing of the
kind. When a man enters a polling
place the election clerks will hand him
the big ballot and several others but
no man will get senatorial primary
ballot until he asks for 1t. When he
tells the election clerks that he wants
to vote on senator they will require
him to sign an application blank stat
ing in effect that he affiliates with the
republican party. Then they will hand
him small white ballot containing the
names Of Cummins and Lacey repub-
lican candidates for senator.
The intent of the law is that the
voter shall be republican. but it does
not require one to vote for every re-
publican candidate on the ticket in or
der to vote the senatorial primary bal
lot. The voter who scratched his re-
publican ticket two years ago will have
the same rights as voter who
scratches his ticket this year
The application blank which voters
must sign to get the senatorial ballot
reads as follows:
Il request primary election ballot
for the purpose OF voting at this pri-
mary election for a candidate OF the
republican party for the Office of SEN
ator in the congress OF the United
States. 1 declare that / affiliate with
and am in sympathy with the prin-
ciples of the republican party; that it
is my intention to support generally at
this general election the nominees of
such party; that I have not enrolled
with nor participated in any primary
election or convention Of any other
political party since the first day Of
the last preceding year.

MAC AND HIS FRIENDS.

The sad and startling news of s. C.
Mcfarland's death in Germany Satur-
day has left many an aching heart in
Marshalltown where Mac was known
and loved as few men are ever loved
by their friends on earth Able and
brilliant of mind, conspicuously capable
and successful in his business as edi-
tor, Mr.. Mcfarland completely defied
the usual conditions of life in which
a prophet is not without honor save
in his own country, for Mac had the
rare genius of inspiring intense adj
miration and respect for his abilities
among those who knew him the most
intimately To his friends he will al
ways remain one OF the brainest men
they ever knew and none but the kind
est Of apologies will they ever make for
those traits of character in which he
was not so strong.
Mr.. Mcfarland, as editor, started the
Times Republican on the road of sue
cessful journalism which it has since
travelled. BY his exceptional concep-
ton of correct newspaper making and
by his ability as a writer and organizer,
he commanded for it the attention OF
the entire state. AS writer, himself,
he had few equals in the profession
DIT lat.
work that Mcfarland was most
notable, able as he was. 1t was the
love Mac inspired from his friends, the
power he had over his friends the un-
questioned domination of his person.
ality among them. that denoted the
rarity of his genius. He rose in public
office by promotion upon merit but
men of little desert often rise to place
by reason of ability or advantage to
live unloved and die unregretted. No
man who does not deserve it ever wins
the personal affection of his asso, iates
which Mac always carried with him in
his successes and in his failures. Such
love may not be sold or purchased. If
men would own it. obtain it or feel it
they must needs have offered friend
ship from a generous soul and show
cred others with the largess of kind
ly heart.
This is the heritage that Mac will
leave among those who knew him.
among the men who worked for him
in his employ, with him in his pleasures
and his business and among even those
who worked against him in the many
struggles of life in which men oppose
one another. How he should have
come to have taken his own life may
never be known. 1t is not known to-
day but whether accountable or not
this man will go to his grave followed
by the tears of a genuine friendship
and regret such as few men ever leave
in the wake of their departing souls.

THEY WHO ARE ABOUT TO DIE.

Atlanta last week entertained the
u. c. ", the remnant of the confed-
crate veterans who opposed that other
remnant of the men who made new
epoch in history, the G. A. r. Old and
tattered warflags waved and the rebel
yell'' rang over Atlanta and the cheers
of children and grandchildren, yes and
of great grandchildren sounded in the
ears of the U. G.. "
There was one shout Of approval and
applause that rose high in Atlanta and
should be heard from end to end of
the Union. 1t was the loud assent that
rose when the orator of the day pro-
claimed the loyalty of the south and
the u. c. v. to the flag and thanked
God for reunited country. 1t was most
prominently fitting that these old
warriors should face the flag and say:
We who are about to die salute the
flag of Yorktown and Santiago. 1t was
more than fitting, It was magnificent.
Here is American greatness exempli-
field and the secret of American
strength revealed. In no other nation
could men who had fought as desper-
ately as these and suffered so keenly
when defeated, have arisen to pledge
themselves anew to the flag they
fought against. In no other nation
could the victors have welcomed the
vanquished back to citizenship and it's
privileges as the men who upheld the
flag welcomed those who assailed it.
Other peoples have carried the scars
and hatreds of civil war three centur-
ices. Here, 10 these many years, the
veterans of the civil war have clasped
hands above the fields they fought over
and their sons have mingled their blood
in a common cause. 1t is the essence Of
American character. the Wis tergo Of
American progress, this tendency to
bring about final arbitroment of great
disputes and when the settlement has
been achieved, go on to new problems,

lew progress and new settlements

new progress and new settlements
1t was the strength and glory of the
old south that gathered at Atlanta in
physical and numerical weakness to
indorse and glorify the new order and
the old flag. Those We're great men
as these we honor here, when the
trembling line of the G. A. r. parades
its strength and weakness on Memorial
Day. And each is speaking from a
splendid past to coming generations,
the lesson of patriotism and the
prophecy of greater nation.

The Indiana farmer who drove
mortgaged mule to hear Bryan twelve
years ago and an automobile to hear
Taft last week, has his counterpart in
every state in the union, with the diff
ference perhaps that all farmers did
not hear Bryan twelve years ago, and
some who did borrowed the mule. The
illustration is apt and the contrast be-
tween the mule and the auto pretty
we'll defines the contrast in the par
ties.
The Foraker letters from Standard
Oil We're of far different stripe than
the Elkins letter censuring Cummins
for his stand on rate regulation. The
people of Iowa have it in their power
to give the nation one senator who has
both the ability and the nerve to fight
the special interests in behalf Of the
public welfare.

CDubuuue Times.)


Altho this presidential campaign has
been comparatively apathetic, the
STRAW vote fiend has been as busy
are his most frequent victims, tho the
pest often imposes himself on patrons
of street cars and on miscellaneous
assemblages. 1t is none of his BUSH
ness how you intend to vote. but if
you told him so you might hurt his
feelings. 1t is therefore best to be poll
lite to him and give him the informa-
ton he seeks. But do not be deceived
into 'basing any calculations upon it.
BY judicious selection of the crowd
to be polled the straw vote can be made
to show anything wanted.
THE ODDITIES OF POLITICS.
(Sioux City Tribune)
The state anti-saloon league has
opened campaign in Plymouth coun-
ty that may cost the republican party
a representative in the legislature.
Plymouth county has a big German
contingent and there has always re-
manned there the generous atmosphere
of the early English colony, on the
temperance question, and this has
made the county to be reckoned as an
anti prohibition county. Along with
anti -prohibitionists, however, there has
always been number Of strong prohi-
bitionists. Now these forces are pitted
against each other and the prohibition
democrat who is running for the
United States senate, Mr.. Porter is
likely to become the beneficiary Of the
feud so suddenly started there.

Editor Times Republican: After
reading the account of how Minnie
Trmball was killed on trestle bridge
and noting so many have lost their
lives on such bridges, why not have
law compelling railroad companies
to make safety platform on one side

be safe were they caught on the bridge.
To my mind this should be done or
people forbidden the use Of railroad

saved were proper precautions taken.
