BLUEFIELDS. Nicaragua, Dec. g.
BY wireless TO Colon-It is reliably re-

from President Zelayas strongholds
in the west OF Nicaragua. that the
bodies of Cannon and Groce. the ex-

Today's messages do not bear our
the report that the revolutionists
were defeated in the second day of
the battle near Rama. So far there
has been no decided advantage in the
fighting but the condition OF the revo-
lutionists Is declared TO be infinitely
better than that of the Zelayan troopg.
Gen. Estrada continues to harass
Zelaya's army and the only road that
is now open to the latter is toward
Rama. where the revolutionists have
an overwhelming force. and stand
ready to wipe out the government
troops should they retreat this far.
AS result of long exposure and a
scarcity of food. Zelaya's troops to the
west of Rama are said TO be in pitt

OF provisional president Estrada are

growing and has now reached such. a
stage that party lines have been oblit-

AN Sorts ofObiaions
,Joan Of Arc,

A few protestant journals look
somewhat askance at this demonstra-
ton. The Christian Observer (Louis-
ville) recalls that an ecclesiastical
court condemned her to death as a
witch and a hereto, and adds:
"And now 500 years later that same
Catholic church. whose ecclesiastical
court condemned her to death. has
beatifed her and canonized her as a
saint.
There is something wrong here with
Rome. She claims to be unchangeably
the same turnout the ages. How then
can the witch and hereto of 500 years
ago be saint today? Does Rome thus
apologize for her conduct in the past?
Is it another case of a monument ex-
piatoire' such as was raised in Geneva
for Servetus? Is it possible that the
canonization of Joan of Arc is due to
the fact, as Roman Catholic paper
has it: That she played an overmas-
tering role in the history of the world
to hinder protestant England from rul-
ing Catholic France?' Rome knows his
tory too we'll to make such mistake.
We would like to see a good substan-
tial Justification. on the part of Rome.

ANOTHER pEs MONIES PLAN.

Manager Hippee of the Des Moines
City Railroad Company has announced
and promulgated a new theory and
new policy. Des Moines street cars are
to be renovated and kept clean and in
order to keep them clean and pleasant
to the eye and the nose. there will be
no more smoking on street cars. The
smoking compartment is to be cut on,
and the man who ''chaws" had best
spit carefully out of the window or
over the side if it happens to be an
open car Otherwise he'll walk.
This Mr. Hippee is right in his the
DRY, both in business and in horse
sense Smoking does make dirt, and
the nastiest kind of dirt. 1t is dis
agreeable to every passenger who does
not smoke and to many who do. A half
dozen antiquated stubs emit an odor
that would drive a dog out of a tan
merry. The average smoking car of
city dump. There is no reason why a
bad and filthy habit should have right
of way over sanitation and the sense
of smell on a street car.
The man who can not ride five
cents worth without smoking ought to
walk. Under the Hippee plan he will
have to do one or the other. Don't
think he'll walk. He won't. He will
ride, pay his nickel and become a con-
vert to the Hippee plan.
Especially in cities where antiquated
cars and lack of equipment provide no
smokers compartment the no smoking
rule should be established and en-
forced. A back platform crowded with
men and blue with smoke from pipes,
cigars and even the unspeakable Gig
aret is practically an insult to every
woman who mus. crowd thru to
seat inc the -ear. Street car managers
should sfuoy Mr. Hippee's plan. a
man with a vile habit should not take
precedence over the comfort and
health of an entire community. He
doesn't pay for the privilege OF putting
smoke into the faces of women. He
pays for ride and that's all he ought
to get for his money.

were not enforced, except when there
was strong local sentiment in their
favor, because the law was radical
step that had not been led up to by
enforcement laws. 1t was a measure,
thrown at the people without prepara-
ton or enforcement laws, and it failed
to prove a SUCCESS
The prohibition question will be be-
fore the people of Iowa again within a
few years, at most, and before a great
many other states as well. The great
aim of the good people believing in
prohibition should be to see that a
system of laws are built up, with
which to enforce prohibition when 1t
goes back as one of the laws of Iowa,
or as law in any state.
The greatest aid that has ever been
suggested along this line, a measure of
far greater benefit to any prohibition
community or state than state wide
prohibition could be, is a bill intro
duced into congress by Nate Kendall,
of the Sixth Iowa district. 1t contem-
plates preventing the government from
issuing licenses in any state or local
unit that has voted against the sale
of liquor In other words. should Iowa
vote prohibition the government would
issue no government licenses to sell
liquor within the state. And with the
excellent system of enforcement of the
internal revenue laws the government
would be the greatest aid to law en-
forcement of the prohibition law in
Iowa that can be imagined. No Iowa
force, no set Of Iowa officials could
be so efficacious. Both local and state
politics would be omitted from the
question The seller of liquor would
be violater of the internal revenue
laws, and would be punished as such.
pass. 1t doubtless will pass, in course
of time, if urged generally by the pro-
hibition forces of the United States
Personal letters to the senator's and
members of the house, from the people
who believe in the measure, will have
great influence.
In fact the important thing for the
prohibition forces now is to hold up
the hands of Nate Kendall in this
fight. The temperance people of his
own district can exert their influence
b. returning him to congress to con-
tinue his fight, for victory in such a
fight can not be won in one session.
The temperance people OF the rest Of
the country can help him by bring
ing all the pressure they can exert on
their own congressman and senators.
The measure is one of the most i'm
portant to the prohibition movement
ever introduced in congress, as instead
of making the fight one of the state
against the bootleggers and the ma
tional government it will be a fight of
the state and national government
against the bootleggers.

ut was in the mind of the late presi-
dent of the United States, and l speak
not without personal knowledge of his
purpose and of his convictions, that
we had at last reached a period when
the protective system as a system was
without organized opposition anywhere
in the United States and 1 feel sure
that l do not misrepresent his purpose
and his convictions when I say that he
looked forward to the gradual extern

hostile agitation of the question, but
by quiet and orderly extension of the
principle of reciprocities, RENTING

of the world. His last public appear
ance before the American people meant
that the future of American commerce
depends in a large measure upon the
gradual reimbursement of those tariff
schedules of 1897 which are no longer
needed to give our town industry fair
and profitable footing in our own mar
ket place.
Il do not contend to having been all
my lifetime a disciple of Mr.. Blaine

of William Mckinley. I don't intend to
sit quiet in this chamber while it is
said to be infamous that anybody
should have the notion that tariff
schedule once framed could not be
honorably modified by sensible trade
negotiations with the world. 1t is a
reproach to the government of the
United States today that there is hard
ly a line of the wisdom of James e.

the path of silence and quietude and
ease in our political Zion should de-

the congress of the United States full

A CASE FOR INVESTIGATION.

A travelling man writing to the
Times Republican, describes the plight
of an unfortunate man and condemns
the inhumanity displayed at a rail-
road depot in a northwest Iowa town
In unsparing terms. According to the
account offered by the traveller the
person referred to fell in an epileptic
fit on the platform of the station. In
falling he injured himself severely
about the head, was removed to an
express or freight room and left to
live or die as it might be. The cor
respondence says the man was choking
to death from blood clots when a few
travelling men who had arrived on
later train became cognizant of his
condition. They took up a collection,
called a physician and, had the man
removed to a hopsital in time to save
his life. Another collection was taken
up among the passengers and the money
thus secured left to be expended for
the welfare and necessities of the I'M
fortunate Then they went their way
and the remarks they made and the
character they assigned to the men
and the city that could drag an in
iurcG man aside to die without help or
':g"lan interest may be lima gined.
1t seems scarcely possible that an
incident such as described could oc-
cur anywhere in Iowa. The town is an
average town in Iowa, it is filled with
travelling men, and its citizenship is
fully up to the average of Iowa citi-
zenship. There We're hundreds who had
they known that a man was dying for
lack of the help most of us would give
a dog, who would have gone to his as
sistance. They did not know. The ques-
ton is why with telephone wires run
ming from the depot into every BUSH
ness place and almost every residence
in the town. did they not know.
A hospital was convenient; the trav-
cllIS men mao no dlf1lCulty IN Secur-
ing a physician and getting the patient
into its doors when they had raised
the money. The probabilities are that
any physician in the city would have
responded to call to a fatal acct
dent. Why was the man dragged one
side and forgotten here in Iowa and
in christian community of Iowa?
If the travelling mans report is true
in fact, some one has been deliberately
cruel, shamefully neglectful of the
common humanities. If he holds a DO
sition where he must deal with the
public in a public or semi-pubic ca
pacity. he should be replaced with
man who knows and feels the common
decencies. No town can afford to have
him in position where it must be to
some degree responsible for him and
where his acts bear upon the reputa-
ton of the town and it's people.

The Nelu Senator From Kansas

around Aldrich's desk) shouted,
"Vote!" "Vote!"
AT this the senator from Indiana
(Mr. Beveridge) said:
"Mr. President, | am trying to I'M
derstand the bill heard yesterday and
l have heard again today the request
for vote when senators were trying
to understand the bill. / see precisely
the source from which it came. The
gentlemen who make that request do
not have to fight any battles of their
party when the bill comes up for con-
sideration before the people. It
would not fall upon the shoulders of
| the senators who, moment ago, when
the senator from Kansas (Mr. Bristow)
arose, asked from their chairs for a
vote, thus trying to take him off his
feet Those senators in the next CAM
paign will not be on the battle field"
Still the senator from Kansas was
not recognized. The colloquy ran along
a few minutes. Then the following took
place:
Mr.. Hale. LET us have a vote, Mr..
President"
Mr.. Aldrich. "That is the question
now before the senate"
Mr.. Bristow. "Mr. President, this is
the third time that a vote has been
called for on these paragraphs while
have been on my feet asking to get
the recognition Of the chair. I am q
new member here, and possibly ! have
no right to be heard in this body; but
/ am here by the same constitutional
authority as any man who has served
here for thirty years; I have the same
right to be heard on any paragraph in
this bill as any man who occupies a
seat upon this floor; and, with the
help Of what physical strength I have,
/ intend to be heard, unless / am out
of order according to the rules of this
body which govern it's deliberations"
And he proceeded to be heard, and
he continued to be heard for day or
| two, demanding of the finance COM
mittee an explanation of the proposed
duties on white lead and pig lead and
bullion. One of the things the senator
from Kansas particularly wants to
know is why the committee recon-
mends a duty of $3.50 ton for the
smelling of lead when the total cost of
smelling is only So ton. Up to the
present writing he has not been able
to get satisfactory explanation of
this upside down protection"

AMopERN DAY SPECTACLE.

San Francisco's schoolboard and stu
dents are arrayed in bitter fight. The
board has passed a resolution calling
upon the school principals to enforce
the anti-frate rnity law and the pupils
of the schools, some of them. have
raised fund of $1,000 to fight the or
der. An assessment has been levied on
every fraternity and sorority in the
state to raise funds for the effort to
overturn the law and a big fight will
be put up by lawers as long as the
money lasts and more may be raised
by assessments. 1t appears that the
law legalizes three societies of a pc
culiarly patriotic character and thus
the point of attack will be this alleged
ties.
If the law is discriminatory it should
be amended but the spectacle of a
bunch of school children raising funds
and engaging attorneys to defend the
asinine school frat and the silly sor-
GRITTY is one that would cause Horace
Mann to turn over in his grave. If
there is one place where discipline is
needed it is in the schools. If there is
one thing that the strong arm of the
school board should fall upon it is the
snobbish and silly banding of minor
aty OF school children together to the
injury of the school and to no good
to themselves individually. There is
something wrong with our methods
and our disciplinary training when
school children rush into court.
The difficulty probably lies at home.
We have limited the teachers powers
and authority too much. We insist that
the teacher shall stand in loco PARENTS
and refuse parental authority. And we
are growing slack as to authority in
the homes as well. We overdress our
children to send them to school. We
permit rebellion at home much more
than ever before. And the result shows
in the worthless young men, the silly
street parading young women, the di-
vorce courts and other clearing houses
where worthless humanity is sorted
from that which has face value and
should pass current.
San francisco needs more fathers
with am eye to the future Of the boys,
moro mothers with skill in the hand
ling Of slippers. AS the twig is bent the
tree is inclined. Were more Of the
twigs bent across the parental knee in
one Of those sessions, stormy while
they last but breeding great peace and
better understanding in their results,

Urges Exile of Mohammedan..
I'M. M. Mangasarian.]

AVE-. W. Nheait5dSall ciA.1
t'The Turk is a blot upon European
civilization. He is religious fanatic,
and there will always be murder and
revolution in Turkey and her prov
inces until the fanatical Mohammedan
is packed across the Bosporus to Asia
and there Isolated in some province
where he may practice his religion I'M
disturbed by civilized nations"
This statement was made by M. M.
Mangasarian, native of Constan-
tinople.
This late uprising in Turkey. while
supposed to be POLITICAL" said Mr..
Mangasarian, "is entirely religious.
The Armenians are all christians and
the Turks are Mohammedans. Chris
tianity and Mohammedanism have
never mixed and never will. The chris
tian missionaries have been working in
Turkey FOR ever d hundred years. and
I challenge anyone to find half a doz-
en- converted Mohammedans in the
whole Turkish empire. All that the
millions of dollars that have been
spent by christian missionaries have
accomplished is the converting OF the
members Of the Greek, Gregorian and
Catholic churches into Baptists. Meth
odists, etc.
"Since the adoption of the new con-
stitution in Turkey last summer, by
which the christians, who had hitherto
been spat upon and reviled as infidels
by the Turks, We're put on basis of
civic equality, these christians have
become intolerant. They have not con-
fined themselves to the teaching of
brotherly love, but have ridiculed and
desecrated the most sacred 1enets of
the Mohammedan religion.
in my opinion the solution of prob
lens in the Ottoman Empire is for the
European countries to step in, Danish
the, sultan to Damascus, Beirut or
some other city in Asia, and make
Constantinople republic, the presi-
dent to be elected by popular ballot.
This would create a republic close to
the seat of Mohammedanism that
would be seat Of European thought
and civilization"
