Harrison Gray Otis, editor in chief of
the Times, have kept this city in a fer

one of sensational and tragic events.
General Otis Returns.
Surrounded by a bodyguard of pri-
vate detectives who Joined him at San
Bernardino, General Otis, owner and
publisher of the Los Angeles Times
stepped from a train at the Arcade sta

Otis was met at the depot by crowd

The laboring men of Los Angeles
have expressed horror at the explo-

by the allegations of certain publica-

outrages.
More Dynamiters Routed.
What the authorities believe was an
other attempt at dynamiting occurred
late Saturday afternoon, when three
men, one carrying suitcase similar
to that in which the internal machine
found at the Otis home was concealed,
were found trying to force an entrance
into the basement of the Times ware
house on Fernando street. A Waterman
fired three shots at the trio as they fed.
Officers were sent to the warehouse, but
the men escaped.

During the excitement following the
destruction of the Times establishment
little attention was paid to the entire

IOWA A. BENEFICIARY.

The Des MONIES Tribune makes a
point that should be remembered and
emphasized amidst all this clamor
about high prices, ssto.wit: that Iowa is
state that sells. The country over,
the complaint is directed mainly at
the people that make UP Iowa and
the middle west states. the beef and
butter producers. Says the Tribune:
IF high prices prevail it is at least
gratifying to know that Iowa as .
whole is beneficiary and not a vic
tim
Even If some Iowans are feelina
the pinch there is some consolation in
the fact that the money that is com
ing to their neighbors will gradually
percolate, and that everywhere it goes
1t will stimulate business and the de-
maad for labor.
The more Ii is charged that the
beef raiser is becoming too rich the
easier 1t will be to advertise Iowa.
Altogether there is promise in the
gentle springtime
1T is to be great year for Iowa"
The point is well taken. OF all the
people in this country the people of
Iowa and the middle west should be
the last to complai. at toe present
prices of farm products. These are
the things they have for sale

STATION IN LIFE.

Many, perhaps most, country pub
Hshers aspire to career in some
large city where the field is wider
and opportunities greater. On the
other hand, newspaper men in the
larger cities bear testimony from time
to time that the difference in the two
fields of labor is less than is generally
supposed. One of the latest of these
to express himself on the subject is
William Rowland, editor of Outlook
Magazine. In an address before the
New York Press Association recently
he said:

OF the most popular public officials
and private citizens in the state. His
record as railroad commissioner is
about as perfect as is possible under
human conditions, and his decision to
run for another term will meet with
popular endorsement. . In similar
vein are the remarks of the Waterloo
Reporter, which says that the news
OF his candidacy is welcome to thou
sands of personal and political friends
all over Iowa The insurgent breth-
rem have been intent on putting the
back number brand on Colonel Palm
er, and with that purpose in view
there has been an inconseauential
flirting with the ambitions of other
residents of Washington. A candidate
has been groomed for congress, and
for this and that office, including the
one now filed by Colonel Palmer.
Noting these things, the Reporter
goes on to say.
Happily the maneuver has not
made much of hit because the trans.
parency of it was too apparent.
Colonel Palmer is one of the most
faithful and trustworthy men who ever
served the people of Iowa in public
place, and it would afford great
satisfaction to thousands OF those in
Iowa who appreciate such capacity
and capability as he has given to
service for the people to be able to
aid in his nomination and re elect

dollars they have saved up through
their splendid American business
ability. This is something for the
people as a whole to decide upon.
-
The Press, therefore, again
urges a referendum vote on the
whole affair. 1t may be that a
majority of the people want these
roads to come in on their own
terms; then again. it may be that
they will demand terminal rates,
common user clause and grade
separation. But, at any rate, these
roads are not going to come swash-
buckling in, hide behind a small
number of men and corral the
whole town. This is a cold-blooded
business deal The Press has alb
solutely no sentimental sympathy
for these railroads; it simply de-
sires to see them treated as well
as it demands that the people be
treated. And the people are going
to see to it that they get good
bargain and secure rightful con-
cessions in return for the millions
which they will pour into the cot
fers of the railroads.
