vass of the republicans of the state
would show two-thirds of them in
sympathy with the statement
issued by the junior Iowa senator?
Isn't the average Iowan, irrespe ctive

tors are representing the state as it
would desire? Why all this silly and
calculated talk of democrats 1t has
never got those who use it anything

sort of talk has done the party serious
injury and is likely to do more if per-
sisted in.
The men who are opposing the AID

than pleased with their representation.

insult to an honest man by still

THE PRESIDENTS APOLOGIsTs.
rSiouy CITY Tribune1


The president gave a number of edi-
tors very bad quarter of an hour
when, last Friday. he issued that infor-
NAL message to congress intimating
clearly that its work on the tariff was
not up to standard and that, stating
again he would be no party to the Job
unless some respect was shown to that
standard. The editors meant were those
who have been emptying their Walls Of
wrath on the senators whom they
termed "insurgens" because they had
sttntly fought for recognition Of the
party's standard of revision and had
been run over by the steam roller
driven by Aldrich.
These the editors had accused of
boiling the party of aligning them
selves and conserving with democrats
of being deputy democrats, of having
put themselves outside the pale Of re-
publicanism. They had pointed with
satisfaction to the harmony existing be-
tween the president and Aldrich. one
of them had assured his readers That
the president understood Aldrich. They
dwelt feelingly on the party harmony
these senators were disrupting. They
wrote convincingly to themselves. OF
the enormity of the recreancy of these
senators to the party led by the presi-
dent and the majority. They felicita1ed
themselves. on the side. for being at
last heartily in accord with the execu-
tive.
Then came the disconcerting state
ment It is a striking tribute to the
versatility of these editors, the dexter
ity with which they shifted ground,

sured that the president is media

THE LURE OF CHEAP LANDS.
Thompson Courier.l


We are being warned-and it is high
time-to look out for these irrigation
projects 1t is said that real estate in
far off lands is offering advantages
fer Wild cat schemes equal to the
phony gold mine or imaginary oil well.
In our opinion, the most dangerous
are those which offer small tracts of
rich" land for 500 or less. The sum
is 50 small and the first payment so
low, that the temptation is to invest
without even looking at the land. We
saw an advertisement the other day
five acres of land in southern
New Jersey, from which one could
soon become Independent" for 500, IS
down and balance on easy terms! 1t is
such a snap that one feels like send
ing the mercy by the next mail and
looking up his new property at his
leisure. Buying dollars for so cents
each is not in it with an opportunity
like this. Il is safe 10 say that the
man VINO buys the land without look
ing at IT is the only. one who will ever
buy. We do not know what is the mat
ter with this land, but we make a
guess it is in that sand dune coun-
try where the sand piles uo in dis-
ferant PAGES every time tire wind

AS 10 nnEMncRAIs..

The Cedar Rapids Republican, Bur
1ington Hawkeye and q. few other
I newspapers in Iowa are much exercised
over what they distort into the Demo
cratic attitude OF the Iowa senators
Its they who are citing Horace Boies
and General Weaver as being as good
republicans as the two senators from
Iowa. Why are they doing this?
The natural supposition and sus-
picion is that they are doing it with
( motive akin to the one that. actuated
them wi1en the battle was on in its Bit
tterness in Iowa. Then none who af-
.,flated with the faction in the party
(which insisted on certain reforms in
the corporation laws and: The applica-
ton Of the Roosevelt policies to state
state affairs were aught but assist
ant democrats" Certain leaders raised
a, finger and the chorus broke out with
a<full sweep of anvils and a clash of
hammers 1t will be remembered that
pretty well everyone IN northern and
northwestern Iowa was a democrat at
THAT time.
Now why, in the face of the over
whelming approval of the mass of the
republicans of the state should this
charge be resurrected and repeated
The scene has shifted. Instead of a
limited corporate leadership in Iowa
the fight is on between the leaders of
The nataonal corporate crowd and the
menawho fought and whipped the min,

THE LAno LOTTERY SYSTEM.

The land lottery system Of distri-
button Of public lands lacks a great
deal of being satisfactory First Of
all The expense attendant upon a long
"trip 10 enable the applicant 10 take
his chance by registry shuts off from
participation a very large number of
those whom the system is intended 10
benefit. The public domain should be
80 distributed that the poor man who
Graves a chance can get il. Thousands
Of lahoring people look hungrily al
these land drawings and are unable 20
get in because they can not afford TO
spend a week. or TWO Of time and a
month or -wos wages TO avail them
selves OF the opportunity.
The new system, perhaps, is better
than the oldtime rush" but better
plan should be devised 1t is likely
that system of registry by mail could
be worked out that would prove itself
far preferable No doubt il would re
suit in an overwhelming registry and
require a very large force TO handle it.
But at that il could not be more ex-
pensive and wasteful than a system
that limits applicants by making the
initiative step so expensive that a COM
parative few can take advantage of it.
Some one has suggested that the
lands be auctioned off under free com
petition This would bring the gov
eminent the actual worth of the land
in market but would eliminate to a
great degree the purpose of the distri-
button which is primarily not TO make
money for the government butte give
every man who does not own a farm a
chance 10 get one.
Il il Mere possible to rattle Off the
lands by mail-and there seems to be
no unsurmountable obstacle in the
Way-we should come much nearer the
intent with which such lands were set
apart.
Why not try j. under restrictions
and conditions that would prevent
fraud?

The ideal newspaper is the one |

tant to be known, Sits them. ar

make it what it claims to be, the most
| potent factor in molding and guiding

the modern newspaper, in diffusing
the latest teaching of science, in re-
vealing the religious condition of other
races. past and present, in scattering
knowledge, common to the few best
thinkers of the world so as to make
it the common property of men, is
preaching our gospel and doing our

not help preaching the gospel. first, of

Before the test is made it may be
safely said that a great many people
will continue to subject themselves
to the menace of disease and go on
fostering the unwholesome and I'M
cleanly customs of the past rather
than pay penny for a separate drink
ing cup. This is to be expected.
Plenty OF pepole who would not use
at their own table the glass out of
which some other member of the fam
lily drank will walk up to a public
fountain and use a cup to which all
kinds and conditions of folks. we'll and
sick have had access.
But while this is true, there are
hundreds of people on the railway
trains every day who drink from a
public fountain and the general cup
only under protest and would be glad
OF chance to escape from the neces-
sity.
AS a protection to the public health
it would be good thing to do away
with the general drinking cup alto
gether. But whatever the outcome of
the test about to be made may be,
enough consideration should be shown
the people who care to continue to
keep the individual cups on sale.
