Their Appreciation With
Celebration.

ors displayed from every business

park last night where a public recep-
ton and ovation awaited him.
Senator Dolliver was greeted with
deafening shout as he mounted the
platform and was publicly welcomed
home by a crowd Of $4,000 friends and
neighbors. Never was such demon
stration accorded him on a previous
home coming though it has grown to
he an annual affair.
Among those in the crowd and on
the platform were many distinguished
Iowans, friends from many parts OF
the state being present to greet the
senator on this, his most auspicious
Homecoming. The unknown out of
town delegation was larger than was
anticipated.
Owing to the uncertainty which sur
rounded the return of Senator Dolli.

thusiasm made the gathering more
imnressive and enthusiasm prevailed
Addresses were made by M. r.

inc wash of the mud in the canal
caused by steamboats, running nm and

reason no water could be gotten tc

A force of men got to work early

the mud out of the large suction pine

the present time is very low, falling
about on par with the river stage,

wanted cheaper form of labor than
the American Negro type. and they are
still seeking for it. having devoured in
turn the native Kanakas. the Gardiner
islanders, the Chinese, the Portuguese
and the Japanese. These latter have
held their own. possessing brains as
well as Drawn. and are contending
now as laborers for supremacy over
the sugar planters The sugar planters
were emphatic in the opinion that they
did not want Negro labor, not because
it is not efficient, but because they
would not pay 1t honest wages.
In the Philippine Islands, while the
employers of labor and the native peo-
pie were favorable to Negro labor. the
insular government set its face against
it. The plea was that the Negro and
the Filipino got along too well togeth-
er and thus endangered the well be-

When the Panama canal work was
begun an effort was made to have the
government prefer Negro labor. sur

the southern cities, but the govern
ment would listen to nothing of the
sort. West Indian Negro labor was
taken instead. 1t was represented TO
the government that to employ such
labor would weaken the southern Ia
Dor supply We therefore have in the
Panama canal work the extraordinary
situation of the government discrimi-

in favor of that Of the British govern

riched thereby.
The American Negro has no place
whatever in the administration Of the
insular territories Of the federal repub-
lie.
