ROOSEVELT RHTlRHS

Roosevelt retires from the great Of
flee of president with the good will and
the admiration of the masses of the
American people. He has been a
great President. He is a man of won
derful resources, of high character, Of
great versatility in thought and speech,
of remarkable force and energy, and
with will power that drives his conclu-
sions to the limit. He has left his
mark in history. Among some things
to his credit are the following:
Doubled the Navy and sent 1t around
the world; settled the anthracite coal
strike; brought about the Peace of
Portsmouth; started the Panama canal;
created large forest reserves; and es-
tablished department of Commerce and
Labor. President Taft believes that
history will place Roosevelt with
Washington and Lincoln. But the
Inter Ocean discusses the matter as
follows:
We should rather expect History to
place Mr.. Roosevelt between Andrew
Jackson and Andrew Johnson-with
Jackson, perhaps, on the record of his
aims and intentions; with johnson, per-
haps, on the record of his methods and
public utterances. That is, II History
be kind, Mr.. Roosevelt we expect, will
be known to the American people of
1850 as a second Jackson; IL unkind,
as second Johnson. Whatever his
merits or dement's, 1t has been Mr..
Roosevelt's misfortune, from History's
viewpoint, to be a violent man, and
American History has never canonized
violent man in the public life OF the
nation.
Call the roll-W Washington, Hamil-
ton, Webster, Lincoln, Grant. Where
among these public servants of the
first class is a man of violence? No
where. Among American statesmen
and soldiers OF the second class such
can be found, and among those of low
err ranks they always have abounded,
as they abound today. But in the first
class-never. Tberefore--if for no
other reason-Mr. Taft's anticipation
of History's judgment on Mr.. Roose-
welt appears not only premature but
fairly overweight and misleading.

They Paid Big Price

Many who contrast the price of Iowa
land with what it was forty years age
when you could have an eighty for The
asking, are apt to envy the early com
ers, but with those acquainted with
conditions there is no jealousy TOWARD
those who came at an earlier date
Compared with the cost in dollars ano
cents, the price looks cheap, but it was
not in money alone the pioneer pait
for his land, but in hardships and sui
feri ngs from the cold and often hunger
in time spent in subduing the wilder
ness, in heartaches for the little un
marked graves that lined the lone
wagon trail across the bleak prairies
the deep wrinkles OF care and suffering
which came in the faces OF the wife and
mother. This was what their land cosi
In those early days and compared with
to 800 an acre which the land is worth
today they paid plenty. Manson

COSSON BILL PASSED
Measures Will Be a Law When the Gov
ernOr Signs Them

Only the signature of Governor Car
roll is now required to give two of the
Cosson bills for law enforcement the
dignity of laws.
BY a vote of seventy six to twenty
the house yesterday passed the bill
defining the duties of county sheriffs.
The bill tie define the duties of county
attorneys was passed a few minutes

Some Oklahoma Land

From a Hobart, Oklahoma, paper
we learn that what is known as the
Bishop farm one mile from that to wn
has been sold at $l25 an acre for the
quarter section. This becomes of local
interest because Mrs. Bishop the lady
who sold it used to live out west OF
town; and further because Mr.. S. l..
Mantz now owns about five hundred
acres some three miles away.

How One Boy Escaped

Judge Woodruff, the new man on this

LAYING on OF Hands

The Tabor Beacon says that "laying
on hands," for complaints, especially
among children, is now rapidly taking
the place of Christian Science. A
mother cured her boy of the cigarette
habit, with ore dose. She laid her
left hand on the boys neck, her right
hand on one substantial slipper, and
laid the slipper where it would do the
most good. 1t affected a cure and a
relapse is not looked for. 1t is thought
he is cured to stay.

Prehistoric Oyster Shells.

That the oyster was in common use by primeval men has been conclusive ly shown by the discovery in the kitchen middens" of Denmark of many thousands of oyster shells, show ing every evidence of having been ar tificially opened. In ancient Greece, also, the oyster appears to have been a recognized delicacy, for Dr. Henry Schlieman, the eminent German arch aeologist, in his historic search for the ancient and somewhat mythical city of Troy, found many oyster shells in the ruins of the five prehistoric settle ments of Hissarlik. But it was Rome in the height of her power and opu- lence that, by singling out the oyster as the piece de resistance of the Roman banuueting halls, conferred upon the oyster it's just title as one of the most delicious and appetizing foods within the grasp of man.

TART LANGUAGE BY BURKETT
Vigorously Denounces Senate Finance
Committee.

Washington, June 16.-Indulging I'm
q vigorous denunciation of the COM
mittee on finance because of its
change of front over night ON the
subject Of tobacco importations from
the Philippine islands, Senator Bur-
kett of Nebraska, standing face to
face with Chairman Aldrich, declared
that its action looked to him like "a
game OF petty politics." He charac-
terized this action as IAN effort to
hang the senator from Wisconsin up
in the air." and finally declared that
this event afforded senators a good
opportunity to vote a lack of conf
dence in the committee.
This tart language followed Mr..
Aldrich's statement that the commit
tee would accept the amendment pro-
posed by Senator Bulkeley to reduce
the number Of cigars to be admitted
free Of duty from the Philippines from
l5O.000.O00 to 100000 and the guam
tity Of filler tobacco from 100000 to
10000 pounds, together with a pro
vision that the wrapper and filled to-
bacco should be unstemmed when re-
ceiving this concession.

SENATORS IN ROW
La Toilette Scores AIdriCh Un-
til Called to Order.
WOODEN SCHEDULE FINISHED
PrOgressives Strong in Debate
but Weak in Votes.

Washington, June 11.-This was
field day in the senate for Republican
progressives, who in debate tore to
shreds the wool schedule reported by
Chairman Aldrich and his committee
on finance.
The progres5ives, as heretofore.
were strong on argument. but weak
on votes, and on each roll call they
were bowled over by the stalwarts,
led by Senators Aldrich. Hale and
lodge.
Late in the day the senate refused.
by the decisive vote of SO to s, to re-
commit the wool schedule to the COM
mittee on finance on motion of Mr..
Cummins and thus finally concluded
the consideration of that schedule.
There was lot of plain talk In
connection with the tariff bill. Sen
ator Cummins of Iowa predicted that
II the measure became law in its
present shape the Republican party
would go down to defeat In the next
elections.
Senator Aldrich then lectured the
Republican progressives, declaring
that their present opposition to the
pending bill would come up to plague
them In the future. They would have
to explain their votes, he said.
Galleries Applaud clapp.
Senator Clapp interjected this OBJ
servation: Instead of explaining
our votes we will be kept busy ex-
planning the votes of some others In
this chamber"
Loud applause in the galleries
greeted this sally.
Senator Aldrich said that he would
have to make no explanation to his
constituents.
The fiery progressive from Wiscon-
sin then took the floor. He went after
Aldrich hammer and tongs. He took
as the text for his discourse the state
ment of Mr.. Aldrich that he would
not be called upon to make any ex-
PLANTATION to his constituents. Mr.. La
Toilette intimated that the Rhode ISL
and senator was not answerable to his
constituents; that senators were elect
ed In peculiar way in Rhode Island
and he told of one instance wherein
he alleged Mr.. Aldrich lobbied through
the legislature of that state q 999-
year railroad franchise.
Mr.. La Toilette followed along this
line until the rule was invoked by Mr..
Gallinger, the chair expressing the
hope that all senators would observe
the rule.
