SAVERS AND sPENDERs.
[Montecello Express1.


There are those who make sport of
their close-hsted and saving acquaint-
ances, and at the same time they fawn
about the high rollers who spend their
incomes as fast as they are earned.
why" they say, "the spender is get
ting something out of life; he is en-
joying things as he journeys through
the world He is generous, and his
friends take pleasure in his entertain
ments.' Not quite so free in judgment
please. The spender leaves his widow
with an insufficient support. His
children get no patrimony to help them
start in the world He adds nothing
to the accumulated wealth of the world.
He builds no blocks, he endows no hos
pitfalls. He lives in a house owned by
the close-fisted saver. And when he
goes hence he leaves nothing with
which his name is associated that ex
lists outside of the memory of his ac-
quaintances, who will all be gone a
generation later. Money spending is
pleasant. Saving means sacrifice. The
one has to do only with today. the other
takes note of tomorrow. The one re-
lies upon the continuance of good
health. the one prepares for sickness.
The one is foolish the other is wise

The visit of William T. Chantland, OF
Fit Dodge to Marshalltown last week
in the interest Of his candidacy for the
republican nomination for attorney
general is the occasion for publishing
resolutions which his local bar assoc
citation recently passed in aid of his
enterprise. They are as follows:
The Webster County Bar Association
unanimously and without regard to
party affiliations present the candidacy
of Colonel William T. Chantland Of
Fort Dodge, for attorney general Of
Iowa, to the republican voters at the
June primaries.
Colonel Chantland graduated from
Iowa State University in 1892 and from
the Law Department in 1894 and has
been an active practitioner and mem
Der Of this bar for sixteen years AS
county attorney for two terms he made
an enviable record for energetic and
impartial law enforcement with eighty
eight convictions or pleas of guilty out
of ninety-two indictments.
At the outbreak of the Spanish
American war in 1898 he resigned his
office to go TO the front at the head Of
his company, exhibiting that patriot
ism that we all admire.
Now at the age Of forty we regard
him as we'll equipped by education, ex-
perience and energy for the office to
which he aspires. We unhesitatingly
and unreservedly endorse his candi-
dacy and commend him to the voters of

perateley in both houses to swing leg
islators from the Hinman-Green bill.
Reports are being circulated that the
governor is willing to accept anything
in the nature of a compromise.
The judiciary committee in both
houses are promising to report the
governors bill for vote. but strange
delay follows those promises. That de-
lay is being used in attempts to win
over direct primary supporters to the
machine side of the controversy.
Now that is the epitomized story OF
the machines tactics with a bill which,
an end to such tactics by putting an
end to the machine. The old liners
of New York stand aghast at the idea
of a legislature chosen by the people.
What heresy! And not only legislators
but other officeholders! 1t means al
most complete revolution in the person
mel of public life. Is it any wonder
they fight? 1t is, we say, the fight Of
self-pres And how reminls-
cent it is, this strategy in New York,
of the things we are hearing from Illi-
nois with seat in the United States
senate bought and sold as SO much
merchandise, and with a malodorous
jackpot! What can the machine ma
nipulators OF the New York legislature
gain by delay but possible chance to
corrupt somebody and in that black way
defeat the will Of the people? And how
it must put heart into them to think
that in just a few short months this
man Hughes who gives them so much
trouble and is the one great force
working for the primary will be re-
moved from the equation. With that
vista ahead they are sure to work with
redoubled effort at their favorite game
of delay.

ANOTHER CHAPTER OF THE STORY.

The charges against Billy Lorimer
constitute another chapter in long
story. Loriner is accused OF securing
his seat thru bribery. If the aliesa-
tions are true he bought a seat in the
senate and bought it cheap. 1t is SIM
plv another chapter OF long story. IN
Illinois it recalls the famous poker
games wherein upcountry members
won the money and John NJ. Palmer
promoters won senatorship; and gen
orally it reviews recollection OF Clark
In Iowa the market has been broken
up and abolished. The primary law did
that efectually. Time was, if we are
to credit the assertions Of Col" La

carriages for legislators and did
curb stone brokerage business in rep
resentatives; when sena torshlps We're

Here is an object lesson for Iowa
Lorimer is senator in Illinois. What
does he represent? How did he get it?
Cullom, old decrepit and senile, is SEN

DoLLIvER AND ILLS SPEECH.

The Des Moines Capital contributes
peculiar criticism in its editorial treat
ment of Senator Delivers recent
speech in the senate. While apparently
approving of the ends sought by Dol
liver in his attack on the rate bill, the
Capital would seem to scorn both his
logic and his motive.
''He mentioned the name OF ex-Gov-
ernor Carpenter, of sainted memory"
says the Capital, "but in the days of
Carpenter this state was giving away
public lands to secure railroads" Men
may now differ in their views as to the
policy of giving our public lands in the
earlier days to the railways. but all
should agree that instead of affording
the beneficiaries of these grants i'm

mento plantation. Should the water continue, planters say there is yet a chance that the upper DOT tions of the district may yield an excellent crop. Enormous losses have been sustained by planters as an outcome of the prolonged drouth, but, if the present water continues, the chances are good for a crop slightly in excess of the average and one which will net larger re- turns than that of last year. The manager of one of the largest bank ing institutions in the district, stated yesterday, after a meeting of the board of directors of the bank at which the situation was care fully gone over, that the loss this year can safely be estimated at 35 per cent. He placed the value of the crop as it now stands at about l $25 100000. In some sections this loss falls heavily on the planters, as some of them have lost fully 50 cent of their normal crop. On the whole, however, conditions are somewhat bettered by fine crops in sections where there has been abundant water and where the cot ton is not dropping. Should water
 be had in sufficient quantities by
 August 15, the situation will be improved materially. Cotton in

ASKS EXPLANATION.
An unwsrranted Insult to the Mexican
 Consul at Clifton.

Consul at Clifton.
 Another international complica- ton between this country and Mex. leo has arisen, this time based on an incident in Clifton, Arizona. A justice of the peace in Metcalf caused the arrest of Gonzalo c. Emile, a Mexican consul, on the charge of Kidnapping and his gov ernment took the matter up through the state department. It was re- ferred to Governor Sloan who re. quested Attorney General Wright to go to Clifton and investigate. MT. Wright has returned to his home in Tucson, but according to the Tucson Citizen he will make no statement until after he has con ferred with Governor Sloan. The story of the arrest is told by the Citizen as follows:
 Honorable Gonzalo c. Enrile, the Mexican consul at Clifton. was arrested some weeks ago upon complaint sworn to by R. A. Campbell, justice of the peace at Metcalf. The consul was charged with the Kidnapping of Felicita Vas quez, a young Mexican girl of about seventeen, the oldest of five chil- dren of Filiberto Vasquez, who was killed in a mining accident in the Clifton district. Upon the death of their father which followed not long after that of their mother the children lived with their grand
 mother but upon her death they
 were left without any guardian and the Mexican consul took them
 to the consulate to care for them until he could arrange for their transportation to Mexico where , relatives of their parents were to , take charge of them.
 , When the eldest of the chil- , dren went to Metcalf to arrange , for the removal of their household :, furniture to the consulate, it is a claimed by the justice of the peace . that she informed him that sht , and her brothers and sisters were
 being sent to Mexico against theiI
 will. Whereupon that official took - steps to have the consul arrested a on the charge of Kidnapping.
 g Later Felicita Vasquez became n convinced that the consul's actions e were in her interest, and finally d she announced her willingness tC j. return to Mexico. When the con l, sul was brought before the justic, l. the case was dismissed.

months ago the authorities of Tor reon received advice that 8 ship ment of over six hundred hats had been stolen from car at one of the stations on the the National Railways of Mexico south of there. After diligent search by the police authorities the hats were discov- cred in Torreon and were seized and placed in possession of the judge, who will deliver them to special agent of the railroad com pany, who will see that they are delivered to the owner.
 Torreon Enterprise: Equipment orders of the National Railways of Mexico, placed just before the close of the company's fiscal year, repre- sent an expenditure of approxi- mately $S,O0O,OOO. The orders in- clude twenty Mallet articulated compound locomotives of heavy type, to delivered in October next, forty-six first and second class coaches, mail, baggage and express cars, delivery of which is to com mence next September, and 3,2O0 freight cars of all descriptions, in- cluding box, stock, flat, ballast and tank cars.
 Mexican Herald: The Flanders car reached Tula last night and should reach this city today some time in the afternoon. Throughout the trip from Queretaro the car has encountered roads deep with mud or water and has been only able to make about fifty kilometers d day since leaving that city. w. A. DeGress who has been driving the car telegraphs that the roads are in the worst possible condition and says that most of the way they have had to run through water knee deep. A large party is being made up to meet the car and escort it to this city. This party will go out about fifteen or twenty kilo- meters on the road and give the brave drivers of the little car a welcome to Mexico City after their drive of 4,500 miles from Quebec to this city.
