TIL. Kai.sr's Splendid Reign.

(From the New York Tribune)
The most significant incident Of the
last twenty years has been Great Brit
aims masterful re-entry into continent
al politics and diplomacy under the
lead of King Edward. The close rela-
tons between Great Britain and the
four Latin powers-especialy close
with the greatest Of these--and the
British approachment with Russia
make striking contrast to the days
when Great Britain was in splendid
isolation" France also was isolated and
Germany was allied secretly with Rus
sia and openly with Italy and Austria
Hungary and enjoyed an unchallenged
supremacy in all continental councils.
The emperor has, however, despite
this latter change, cause for profound
satisfaction in the review OF his TWEEN
ty years Of sovereignty. and the
world has cause for qualification, too.
He has disappointed the unfavorable
anticipation Of numberless critics.
Feared as a firebrand, he has been one
of the worlds chief peacemakers. Re-
garded by many as reckless, sWash-
buckling junker, he has shown himself
to be a wise, prudent and conservative
statesman. He has made some mis-
takes, but he has done great deeds. Ac-
cused of egotism, and, indeed, often
strongly emphasizing his own person
atty, he has displayed deep and In
telligent concern for the welfare OF all
classes of the German people. He has,
in brief, made these twenty years OF his
reign one of thu most splendid eras in
the history of Prussia and Germany,
credit to himself and blessing to Eu-
rope and to the world

LEvEE SAVES MONEY.
burlington HaWkeye.l

The residents in the bottoms north
of Burlington have reason to thank
Uncle Sam for the protection he has
furnished them in the levee which is
now keeping water back that other
wise would completely overflow their
lands and render them unfit for filling.
The levee is saving thousands of dol
lars to the low district which 1t pro-
tects, and was one of the good invest
ments for the benefit of the people
which congress made at the behest OF
Congressman Hedge and Senator ALI
son. Much is said Of our spendthrift
congress, but when the actual expen-
ditures it makes are examined closely
as that for the levee north of Burling-
ton, 1t is found that practically all are
in the nature OF sensible and helpful
benefits to the people, and worth the
money.

(From the Baltimore American.)

to irreducible first principles, hayseed.
The dweller within brick walls, with
an outlook upon endless rows Of brick
walls. Is contented enough to hibernate
in artificial environments; but when
the leaves burst their petals and nature
resumes the raiment Of green. his soul
begins to cry for the open fields, the

AN EVIL TO GRAPPLE WITH.
Davenport Democrat.)


President Roosevelt, thru the de-
partment Of state. is laying plans to
declare war against the white slave"
traffic, the buying and selling OF wom-
en- and girls for immoral purposes.
This is the greatest curse of all, and
that it Is carried on as a business is an
abomination. But as the women are
procured abroad for importation to this
country, there must be cooperation OF
our government with the government
of other countries. The plan is being
worked out. 1t is known that there
are in the United States certain es-
tabished markets for white slaves
One of the principal of these is IN
Chicago; another in New York. The
entire power of the government is TO
be invoked against the offenders, and
state and municipal governments will
be urged to lend their aid In stamping
out the evil.

THE HITCHCOCK CASE
Davenport Times.)


II the decision of the jury which de-
clared Raymond Hitchcock not guilty,
reflects the true status of affairs, there
will be thousands of people thruout the
country who will be immensely pleased.
The jovial. kindly comedian has done
much to dispel gloom and promote a
more cheerful view Of life, and If he
is not guilty of the crimes of which he
has been accused. the news will be re-
ceived with general satisfaction. The
fact that the New York public was re-
luctant to believe the charges was evil
denced by the fact that on the night
of the day the charges were first
brought, he was warmly and sympa-
thetically applauded by large audi
ence. Even tho guiltless. however, he
will probably suffer from the attack
made on his character for the rest Of
his life.
