NO MISTAKE MADE HERE.

No matter how many monumehtai
mistakes the democrats of Iowa may
make before November. it must be ad-
mitted that they have done two things
thus far in the campaign in which
they displayed the highest degree OF
judgment. One of these things was the
selection of Ottumwa as the place for
holding the state convention. The
other was the selection Of Committee
man N. F. Reed of 5Ottumwa as chair
man Of the state committee. The DEM
ocracy of Iowa, or that great repre-
sentative gathering of the democracy
that attended the convention here
Yesterday, was united in its praise OF
the state committees action In giving
Ottumwa the convention. The dele
gates and, visitors to the convention
found that the Grand opera house was
an ideal convention hail. with room
for everybody They found that OF
tumwa had prepared so we'll for it's
guests that every comfort was pro-
yided, and there was no crowding. And
there was a. warmth of welcome ex-
tended to the visitors that was elo-
ouent Of Ottumwa's hospitable manner
Of playing the host.

The average tutor at good college,
says the Chicago Tribune, is paid less
than Chicago policeman. The most
learned professor does net get as much
as police inspector. Few college
presidents are rewarded as well as a
police superintendent All of which
the Tribune says provokes the inquiry:
If all incomes weres graded down to
those of instructors how many fathers
could send their sons to college?
A report from New York says that
Laura Jean Libby has decided to go
on the stage If Laura Jean acts as
she writes she should give the stage
a melodramatic exhibition that will
make hit with the galleries, even if
it will not please the critics.

This statement Is credited to Di-
rector George M. Chapel Of the Iowa
weather and crop service. Director
Chapel declares that Iowa soil can
stand more drouth than any section
Of equal area in the United States. An
other factor mentioned by Mr.. Chap
pei in minimizing the damage that will
be done by the June and July drought
Is the excellent cultivation OF the
ground this year. 1T was thoroughly
pulverized," he says. There was no
baking and the moisture cannot escape
except through the roots" Mr.. Chap
pei adds: There is no cause to be
worried about the Iowa corn. The corn
crop is in much better shape at this
time than at the corresponding per-
Tod year ago. You must bear in mind
that Iowa has always suffered more
from wet weather than from dry
weather"

THE LOVE FOR AGITATION.

David r. Forgan, president of the
National City bank of Chicago, and
one Of the country's leading finan-
ciers, is quoted in an interview as say
ing that he cannot see any signs of a
panic ahead The short grain crop, he
says, will hurt, but that it is not
enough to bring hard times. The
higher prices will Offset the short
crop to some extent. Money, he says,
will be somewhat easier for few
weeks, and then will harden up prob
ably until after the first of the year.
He cannot see why there should be
any difficulty in moving crops.
Mr. Forgan gives his idea of the
reasons for the periodical panics with
which this country is afflicted. There
is not the slightest reason that he can
see why we should have panics, yet
you may start one most any time
with agitation and fear, like a false
fire scare in theater.' He adds:
They don't know the meaning of a
panic in England or Germany or any
other country worth mentioning. Can
ada, right next door, with the same
people, same customs, same general
conditions, hasn't had panic in fifty
years.
Why do we have them? We agitate
our finances too much. We get our f.
nances from the man in the street.
Other countries consult their fnan-
ciers.
Mr.. Forgan seems to have the mat
ter sized up about right. We agitate
our finances too much just as we ag1-
tata all other n1lbIic questions too
much. When things are moving along
very well and there isn't cloud in the
sky, some one arises to warn us that
we are headed for perdition, and in
stantly the agitator has following
to help him stir things up.
The medical boards over the coun-
try have been having success in their
efforts to teach the people to swat
the fly" and there is reason for hope
that the housefiy will some day be-

WELCOME DEMOCRACY.

Ottumwa has gone democratic on
previous occasions, but never before
with such unanimity as is in evidence
today. On these before mentioned oc-
casions when the democracy secured
the upper hand, it was after a hard
fight at the polls, when a few heads
had been knocked and some badly
lacerated feelings were left in the rival
camp. But there is no knocking of
heads or breaking of hearts today. Of
tumwa has just simply got together as
a unit and gone democratic to the
limit, and those single-purposed people
who can't forget how their grand
fathers and fathers voted and be dem
ocratic for the day may just as well
lock themselves in the, coal shed, for
they'll be mighty lonesome If they
come down town and join the crowds.
The democracy of Iowa Is as well
come in Ottumwa as the flowers in
May; or, to make it stronger, as well
come as that blessed rain that visited
us just before them. They're the best
fellows in the world to greet as guests
and they are just as glad to shake
your hand as you are to shake theirs.
The democrats are needed in this
world Of ours. We might all succumb
to the blues If it were not for them.
Look at it any way you want, you are
forced to admit that the democrats are
the only real optimists in our midst.
Ask all the democrats you meet on the
street today what party will elect the
next president. They will tell you, the
democrats. Ask them who. will control
the next congress. They will tell you,
the democrats. Ask them who will con,
troll the state administration and the
state legislature in Iowa next year
and they will tell you, the democrats.
They will tell you this because they
believe it. They are just naturally so
optimistic that they can never be
brought to admit defeat until their
shoulders are down to the mat, and
then they tell you they'll get you the
next time.
The democrats have the best lungs
in the country. A republican conven-
ton always looks like funeral when
compared to gathering of the dem
ocracy. And they have the hardest
working election forecasters in the
land. They can beat you harder before
the election and show you more rea-
sons why you haven't chance to win
anything than any political party on
the globe.
The only thing in the world the
democrats lack is votes, but their fail
ure in this regard never shakes their
CHEEKY optimism.
Ottumwa hopes the democrats will
enjoy their visit here. 1t hopes they
will like the town so we'll that they
will be in as good humor when they
go as when they came, and will come
back to. see us early and often.

The old Russian village of Kodiak
lies on the opposite side Of the island
from the canneries, bleak, wind
swept relic Of the country's first oc.
cupation, and although peopled largely
by natives and breeds, there is also
"a considerable white population, to
whom Christmas is season of
thanksgiving and celebration. Hence
it was that the crew Of the Dora were
well content to pass the Yuletide
there, where the girls are pretty and
a hearty welcome Is accorded to every
one. There were drinking and dane.
ing and music behind the square-hewn
log walls, and the big red stoves made
havoc with the salt wind. The town

vigorous, and inasmuch as winter Ia

the most foolhardy trust themselves
to the perils of the sea. it caused
much comment when late on Christ.
mas afternoon an ice-burdened canoe
bearing three strange white men,
landed on the beach beside the dock
or were they white men, after all?
Their faces were 50 Slackened ard
split from the frost they seemed to
De raw bleeding masks, their hands
were cracked and stiff beneath their
mittens. They were holloW-eyed anal
gaunt, their cheeks sunken away as II
from a wasting illness, and they could
not walk, but crept across the snow
covered single on hands and knees,
then reaching the street hobbled

as if paralyzed. One of them lacked
strength even to leave the canoe, and
when two sailors ran down and lifted
him out, he grabbed strangely In the
iargon of the mining camp and the
gambling table. OF the other two
one. a great awkward shambling giant
of creature, stumbled out along the
dock toward the ship, his shoulders
dropping, his arms loose-hinged, his
knees bending.
But the third voyager. who had with
difficulty won his way up to the level
of the street, presented the strangest
appearance. There was something
uncanny about him. AS he gained the
street, he yaved back all proffered
assistance, then paused, with his
swaying cdy propped upon wide
spread legs, :taring Indignantly Into
the north. From their deep sockets
his eyes glittered like live Goals. while
his blackened, swollen lips split In
grimace that barred his teeth. He
raised his arms slowly and shook his
clenched fists defiantly at the Polar
SKIES, muttering unintelligible things
then staggered after his companions

Thus far no great interest has been taken in it, though it is very important event locally There are new build ings to erect. and lots of business to attend to in the near future that will demand the careful attention of ca pablo men, if results are what they should be. in addition to the usual conduct of school matters, which are always important only two facts have thus far developed respecting the election. One is that the retiring member of the board, Clinton Camp bell has refused to be a candidate for reelection. The other is that the friends of w. c. Tolleson are urging him to become a candidate. There may be others, but they have not yet let their candidacy be known. Mir.
