AN OLD SETTLER.

Washington County Press.1
James Farrier has moved into town
from Franklin. He is so years old, and
his wife twenty-one days older than
he. She was Mary Todd. He is prob
ably the oldest survivor Of the true
pioneer period, having come when 10
years young with his parents from
Ohio in 1889, the year this county was
organized under the name of Slaughter.
His life spans every hour of our cor
porate existence with ten years to
spare. He seems quite feeble. but
asthma bothers him. His gray hair is
thick and falls to his shoulders and
parts in the middle, and the face is
administered. His memory save for
names is good, and he is full of humor.
He played with Indian boys and they
never scrapped, as the red kids We're
the best natured things in the world,
like the playful young of all animals.
He denies that Indians are stoical-
that is mere bluff when observed;
in private, they howl with pain. Make
the greatest fuss over toothache, and
when green corn or apples went wrong
with their interior department, they
were the veriest babes.

GIVE THE GIRLS A HALF HOLIDAY.

other cities of Des Moines' size have
this system in operation and the en-
ployers of the capital city will be
strongly urged to get in line. The re-
quest is that the holiday be granted
thru the months of July and August.
1t is a good plan and a reasonable
request Whether in a town of $4,000
or of $4,000 nobody would lose and
many would gain by it. With the en-
ploying merchants all agreed there

WHAT THE WAGON cess SAD

When a circus comes TO town the
adolescent youth on the borderland be-
tween boyhood and maturity longs for
job with The show. He sees the par

longs to be a part Of that display.
Such crowds Of people attendant cape

vantage points along the curb. The
street is lined and the windows crowd

have come TO see the parade and per-
haps follow it down to the show

which are the incentives of all this

remains between each of its features

marvel. Such beautiful ladies ride 50
ecornfully by; such knights in glitter

his red livery perched behind six
horses wfaicf are entirely able to care
Tor themselves as concerns their i'm
mediate business in the parade be-
comes ideaNzed and magnificent
part of magnificent propinauity. The
youth is fred with desire. He longs 10

county did not consider such thing as

America which owns all its land. It
was founded IA years ago by three or
four Iowans. who decided to establish

the community, and is leased to indi-
viduals for 80 years. The lessee is re.
quired to pay annual rent on his land,

The CASE AS III s1Akps.

The president is aroused to the dam
ger that threatens the republican par
ty. He is, it also appears alive to the
pledges made by himself and the party.
With the senate bill on one side and
the house bill on the other he stands
between the two demanding revision
downward from the conferees. AS it
Is he stands between two theories of
revision, the house theory and the sem
ateate theory. In doing SO he must of
necessity have changed to some degree
from the ground he assumed before
election for even the house bill and the
house theory fall far short of revision
the public had a right to expect by
reason of prediction pledges and the
open stand of the candidate. The sem
ate has defied the sentiment of the
country and plainly proceeded 10 revise
upward. The house under the skillful
italian hand OF Serene Payne has con-
ceded somewhat TO the public and
much to the interests. No matter what
compromise may be made between the
house bill and the senate bill, between
the house theory and the senate theory
the result is practically certain to be
unsatisfactory to the consumer and to
the public at large. In the minds of
most western republicans and probably
in the minds of a very respectable ma
jority of the republican party west,
east, north and south the case as it
stands calls for veto more than for a
com promise. And there is little reason
at things are at present to expect a
veto of the bill
There are SAT amendments to the
house bill in the senate bill, all of
which are to be adjusted in conference
Where the house made one rate on its
theory of revision downward the senate
made another on its theory Of revision
upward. The result must be a COM
promise between the two rates. If the
house schedule was a compromise be-
tween the interests D.. The public and
the special interests. the compromise
between the house rate and the senate
rate must be another ard upward com
promise. It is case OF heads win,

that is as far from craftsmanship as
a slight of hand performer is from a

from the demands made, the pledges
offered, the promises and the expeeta-
tions based on plain promises. And

thimblerig is becoming about as dis

Since at the present rate at least ev-

Moreover. the census authorities them

than those actually given would be

WHO ARE REPUBLICANS?
Esprit Lake Beacon.l

The dissent of ten republican sena-
tors of the middle west from the ma
iority tariff program is of political
moment. Day after day and week
after week these and others appealed
to party managers for revision consist
ent with economic conditions and the
moral contract upon which republicans
went to the country last year. They
spoke for their country and their
party. They desired such modification
as would justify their support OF the
measure; such revision as might be de-
Tended against attacks of party
enemies upon appeal to the intelli-
gence and patriotism and candor of
the American people. When this was
stolidly denied these senators from
Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas.
South Dakota, Wisconsin and Indiana
technical party fealty
and scorned the sting of the party lash
as they yielded to the demands of
party honor and public conviction.
These ten senators may we'll afford
to submit this vote and their political
fortunes to the highest tribunal of
popular government. They may stand
serene amid the storm of controversy
while senators and members attempt
to justify the act that poured con-
tempt upon solemn party and presi-
Dental pledges and denied the plain
truths of history and experience. In
senate and house men may cavil with
facts and juggle with words in the at
tempt to prove that the irresistible de-
mand for revision last year is loyalty
served by boosting schedules and that
our unrivaled development has turned
back the shadow upon the dial Of hui
man experience. There they may
mock the public and laugh to scorn it's
upon party character. But 1t
will be difficult when the demands Of
politics in free government compel
them to give an account of political
stewardship before the people who
make and unmake statesmen as they
will.
Who are the better republicans?
Those who resist organization to keep
party pledges registered In heaven and
before man, or those who keep regular
in perfidy and dishonor? II the re-
publican party shall live and triumph
