THE WAR ON CANNON.

(From the Register and I.eader.)
Congressman Fowler's open lette,
to Speaker Cannon is being treated
with consideration, although it is evil
dent that 1t was inspired by person
al pique.
Speaker Cannon beheaded Con-
sressman Fowler because the latter
urged liberalizing the house rules and
limiting the arbitrary authority OF
the speaker. The speaker gave it
out that it would go hard with the
insurgents. and it did.
1t has not needed this letter, how
ever. to convince the rank and file
of the party that Speaker Cannon has
served as long as is good for the
party or the country.
The speaker is a picturesque figure
in our public life, but he is neither
a statesman nor wise party leader.
He is an eccentric, crochetty old man
who never was very wise nor very
great, and who owes his vogue to his
peculiarities rather than to his tai.
ents.
There ought to be some man in
training in the republican party who
has a little something about him to
remind us of Henry Clay or Blaine
or someN of the other great speakers
OF the house. The party has come to
"a sorry pass when the speaker of the
house of representatives is a man
better known for profanity and vui-
garity than for anything else.

say:
The new tariff is popular with no

of importanc Nothing the president
can say will change public opinion an
iota. On the contrary, 1t is scarce

anything that will not lead the re.

too for. and the progressives to say
that he has not gone far enough. His

ANIMAL HussANoRY eRADl
ATEs IN DEMAND.

Iowa State College Bulletin: Not.
vithstanding the fact that the Ami.
NAL Husbandry Department of the
Iowa State College graduated the
largest class in its history this year,
every man is now located in an ex-
cellent position and the college au.
thorities are daily turning down re-
quests for men to fill remunerative
positions along these lines.
A very gratifying feature about the
positions filled during the last few
years is the fact that Sc per cent. of
these young men are engaged as
managers Of farms and ranches. This
is most excellent field as there
seems to be no limit to the demand
for such men. Several of this years
men started at from $1,000 to $500
while members Of last years class
are now drawing, in some instances,
better than $4,000 per year. That ad-
vancement is rapid for a man who
makes good is well illustrated in
the case of w. A. Forbes, who took
charge of large farm in July 1908.
He received $4,000 per month and
board for 6 months. then 800 and
board for the second months, at
the end OF which time he signed a,
contract at $4,000 per year. six of
this years class are filling college
positions. The most recent appoint
ment being that of Don Griswold, who
has been elected to an excelient po-
sition In Animal Husbandry work at
the Texas Agricultural College. This
makes q different states and four
foreign countries that have taken
Ames graduates for college positions
during the past seven years. The
College Authorizes are rejoicing ov.

men are now on their way from

BUILDING RAILWAYS FOR A WAR

(From the New York WORLDLY
The recent war furry between
China and Japan concerned mainl,
questions of railways. Its settlement
by compromise in which China max
es the most concessions leaves ia
pan free to prepare for that renewed
struggle with Russia which both ma
tions expect.
Russian railways have guage oil
5 feet. 3 1-2 inches wider than ours
According to Mr.. Hartman, that is
just l-2 inches of advantage, though
Z feet, the first guage in Western
England, would be better yet. In the
Manchurian war the Russians could
send heavy trainloads over the long
Siberian line, but not many in a
day with only one track. The single
track was one reason for their de-
feat; the confessions of Russians late
in high command have given others.
Japanese railways are of 8 feet
6 inches guage. When the Mikado's
men began rolling the big Russians
uphill through Manchuria they used
their own cars by spiking temper
ary rail eighteen inches inside the
outer Russian rail. They also built
in great haste from the head of the
Corean Gulf to connect with the Man
churian lines the military narrow
guage Antung-Mukden spur, whose
widening, planned from the beginning
was one of the chief points in re-
cent dispute.
Now the Russians are double-track-
ing the Siberian line, and in rail-
way war, other things being equal,
as in this case they are not, wide
guage railway will whip narrow
guage one every time by carrying
three times as heavy trains.
knowing this, the japanese stipu-
lated with the Chinese for a joint
commission for railway surveys and
for identity of 'guage with the Chi
nese imperial railways. This is part
ly war preparation in which Japan
is rather the defender than the en-
emy of China; and also plain no.
tice of the enforced "open door" in
trade. China followed her usual pol
icy of resisting everything until, she
had to yield, and there came the
dangerous situation of armed Japan
ese guards pushing armed Chinese
guards off the Antung- NIukden line.
There were disputes also about min
ing rights, about payment for land
used in railway widening and extern
sions and about sovereignty over ter
ritory. Japan has now got her way
about the railways and mines, China
partly hers as to sovereignty, which
is vain thing without the force to
maintain it.
Putnam Weale speaks of the Peace
of Portsmouth as the Truce in the
East" This feverish railway-buildine
in anticipation of another and a
greater clash is most discouraging to
humane people who hope ere long to
SET the end of war.
