CHAMP CLARK
TALKS VICTORY.
Change of Twenty-four Members
Means Next House Will BE
Democratic.

The Honorable Champ Clark, of
Missouri, Democratic leader in the
House, believes the prospects for his
party in Congress are most promising
because of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill. Writing in the September Van
Norden Magazine, he figures it out
thus:
'In the Fifty-ninth Congress the
Republicans had majority in the
House of ia. In the SiXtieth Con-
gress they had a House majority Of
3D. In the present House their ma.
iority is only AZ. So that even a blind
man can see that the current runs
against them. Holding all the seats
that we now have, we must gain only
twenty-four in order to control the
next House.
Surely the tariff fiasco ought to
give us not only twenty-four seats
now held by the Republicans, but
twice twenty-four. Indeed, the Payne
Aldrich bill is such defiance of pub
lie opinion, such thwarting of public
desire, that we ought to have as big
a majority in the Sixty-second Con-
gress as we had in the Fifty-second,
when New England sent more Demo
Gratis than Republicans to the House
as fruits of the Mckinley bill. His.
tory has a strange and instructive way
of repeating itself.
"a few figures may serve to eluci'
date the situation, and here they are;
There are 10 Republican members
whose pluralities range below 1000;
9 whose pluralities are below 1000
and above 1000, and Is whose plu'
ralities are below 1900 and above
1900. This makes 46 all told. With
the current running against them,
not man jack Of the as is certain Of
reelection. When they think of the
Payne-Aldrich bill and then Of the
first Tuesday after the first Monday
in November, 1910, the cold chills
creep up and down their spinal col
umnS.
Zone other thing is quite likely t.
help us in 1870 In any event the
Senate will remain Republican til
1918. When the beneficiaries Of thu
Payne-Aldrich bill reflect upon tina
fact, and upon the further fact tina
they will hold the White House til
March 4, 1918, they may conclude
that there is no sense in squanderins
their wealth in electing a Republican
House in 1910 and therefore leav,
Republican candidates to paddle thei
own canoes. Democratic prospect
are improving every hour. +"

Gets Fine Appointment.

Governor Eberhart of Minnesota
has honored Atty. j. A. o. Preus,
son of President C. X Preus of
Luther College, and son-in-law of
Mr.. X. I. Haugen of this city, with
the appointment as Executive Clerk
in his department in the state house
OF Minnesota, to succeed Harvey
Grimmer. Mr.. Preus graduated at
l.. G.. in 1902, and in law at the
Minnesota university in 1905. For
couple of years past he has been
secretary of the U. s. Senate COM
mittee on public lands, and just
recently formed a law partnership
with T. ]. Martin, probate judge of
Norman county, locating at Ada
Mimi. During the last campaign
he was in charge of the speakers
bureau of the Minnesota republican
state central committee. The APP
pointment comes as a surprise to
his family here, as well as to Mrs
Preus, who is guest at the home
of her father, K. |. Haugen, but is
nevertheless one that is highly ap-
preciated.

THAT ROCK ISLAND TRAIN.
Cedar Rapids and Other Towns
Along Line Working for EX-
tension of Service From
West Union to
DecOrah

We hope that the Rock Island rail-
road will fall in line with the other rail-
roads and extend its train service. The
Rock Island needs to get into the game
at once.
We have special reference to the train
that now stops at West Union. That
train leaves here at four in the afternoon
and returns between nine and ten the
next day, spending the night in West
Union instead of making the run to De-
corah as the habit was before the panic
of 1907" and before the two cent fare
came into use.
There are hundreds of persons who
are inconvenience by that train stopping
at West Union. 1t ought to be possible
for a man to come all the way from
DEBORAH in the morning, returning again
the same evening.
The Rock Island officials claim that
the north end of the run was never a
paying one But they have never given
it fair trial under the present two cent
fares Nor should road be permitted
to take one particular piece of road and
figure out that it is Improbable. The
afternoon train as whole has been a
profitable one, no matter whether par
ticular pieces of that run were profitable
or not. A railroad has rights of eminent
domain and other rights for which they
are bound to make return in the form
of serving the convenience of the people.
A road can not pick out particular pieces
of road and discriminate against the
people who are living along such pieces.
The Rock Island should have restored
that train long ago, but it is not too
late yet.
Three months ago we called the atten-
ton of the officials to this matter and
at that time we had the assurance of
many towns north of West Union that
they would circulate petitions almost
unanimously signed begging for the re-
storation of such train service
Let the Rock Island get into the game.
Cedar Rapids Republican,
We believe it is time for the people of
DEBORAH and the intervening towns be-
tween here and West Union to take up
this matter Much is being done to inn
prove train service over the state, and
| the business men of Cedar Rapids are
interesting themselves in the above pro-
position. This was one of our most
popular trains, leaving DEBORAH in the
morning, making the run to Cedar
Rapids, and returning in the evening.
The above item explains why it was
taken off Let's all pull together and get
the service reinstated

Learning by doing is good way to
learn. The laboratory system in uni.
versities was instituted for the purpose
OF affording facilities for learning by
doing. This is the system pursued in
manual training instruction from the
kindergarten upward. 1t is the system
pursued in the engineering department,
the agricultural department, and other
departments OF the state university
Now it has been extended TO the uni.
versity school of journalism, says the
Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin. Mem
bers of the classes in journalism are
hereafter to constitute the staff of the
Cardinal, the university's daily paper.
This is good idea. The faculty, it is
stated, will not attempt to dictate the
policy of the Cardinal, which will con.
tinue TO be an organ for the expression
of student opinion.

That Cuba is making substantial ma.
terial advance is evident from some
figures given out from work which
the bureau of insular affairs of the war
department is preparing. 1t appears
that the island in 1907 had a popula.
ton of 2,04S,9S0, an increase of 30.3
per cent. since the last census, taken
under American supervision, in 1899
But the most notable gain is in Cuba S
foreign trade. The value Of the i'm
ports into the island at the latest date
mentioned was $75,303,O 900, or 1913 per
cent. more than in 1899, while the ex
ports were S114,S12, 900, or 1S1 per
cent. increase. Furthermore, the ex
hibit shows how good a friend is the
United States in trade matters. From
two-thirds to more than seven-eighths
# the exports from Cuba each year
come to this country, which takes prac
tically al the sugar. fruits and min
erals and more than nine-tenths OF the
tobacco sold abroad by the Cubans
This, with the reduced duty that IA
vors our neighbor, shows the readiness
with which the United States extends
the helping hand TO the island repub
lie.

The Centenary habit.
MICHIGAN

A writer in an English weekly. on
he recent tercentenary OF Milton. says
hat he took the occasion to delye into
Me files of the Gentleman's Magazine
Tor 1908 to see how the same poetic
,wo hundredth birthday was cele-
brated. He found that not even the
name of Milton occurred in the index
Tor that year The day had evidently
passed unnoticed. The centenary idea
seems to be a new one, and it is annu'
ally extending more widely. Some one
has said that these centenary celebra-
tons are the best when they are the
least needed. BY them forgotten OF
half-remembered men, as we'll as the
most famous, are recalled for a sea
son, their work is discussed, and THEN
life history is recounted. They are
newly alive again, so TO speak, and we
realize them once more as being with
us. Milton, said young man whose
attention had been turned TO Paradise
Lost" through a newspaper centenary
article, why, Milton wasn't prig at
all, and can understand his stuff! I'm
going to read canto every Sunday.
He's corker!" The year 1909 is a
year of distinguished centenaries. Poe
in January; Mendelssohn-Bartho
Darwin and Lincoln in February-the
last two on the same day; Chopin and
Edward FitzGerald in March; Tenny-
son in August; and Gladstone in De-
cember-this is a partial birthday list.
Literature, music, science and state
craft are all represented. The festi-
val, remarks the Youths Companion, is
for everybody who will join. If only
the ones in whose honor the celebra-
tions are held could be there, the party
would be complete.
