Now that the attorney general Of
obstacle to placing General Lees statue
In the hall Of statuary IN the national
capital 1t will probably be placed there
and the protests against its admis-
sion gradually die away.
And It is better so. General Robert
:. Lee is one Of the luminous names
IN American history. He was a type
OF Americantsm, a commanding splen-
did character worthy In most regards
Of the emulation OF all American
youth. He was not a politician. but
rnosphere saturated with the ideals Of
government which he defended. Bet
ter men than he have led the armies
Of revolution and revolt and worse
men have fought for established gov
eminent. He was a different type from
Jefferson Davis and those who nursed
treason and coaxed rebellion into a
blaze. He went with his section. The
best excuse OF every honest man ana
noble character who followed the for
tunes of the confederacy Is the 1nagni-
tude of the movement and pressure of
sectional ties.
The time will come when this re-
united nation will turn in admiration
to such men as Lee and Jackson as
types Of the best Americanism, with
Grant and Sherman and Howard. The
issue was one TO be fought out and
settled by the last a-bitrament. It

who settled 1t were all Americans. Let
US in these days when a million de-
scendants OF the Lees and Jacksons

lowed them. would leap to the defense
of the flag, put aside all differences
and submerge in a common union the
bitterness OF those old days There Is

Topics of the Times

Some one has figured that the United
States pays an annual tribute to Eu-
rope of s732, 500, 600 as follows: Tour
lists, s200.000000, annual remittances to
Europe by immigrants. s15o.000.0o0;
carried back by returning immigrants.
72,50o.000; freights and marine insur-
ance paid foreign companies, s35, 000.-
600, and interest paid abroad on Amer
Jean securities, s275,00O,00o. All of
which means, among other things, that
our credit must be pretty god over
the ocean.
They are still trying to figure out the
weight OF the soul. 1t is the weight on
the soul that worries most of us.

can. The annual reports of the Inter.
state Commerce commission for the
last IL years show that in this pSrio1
1O6, 900 persons were killed or injured
and that OF this total about 10000
were killed outright The large ratio
Of fatalities to injuries. which II sew
eral times larger than the ratio that
obtains in the case Of accidents to pas
sengers and employees, suggests that
practically all these accidents were
due to trespassers being struck by
moving trains. The records OF the
commission show that in 1898 1893
trespassers lost their lives on Ameri.
can railroads; that five years later
the number Of killed was 5000 and
that in 1907 1t rose to 6,612; that Is to
say. on every day OF that year an av.
erage OF over 10 people lost their lives
entirely through their own folly in
trespassing on the right of way OF the
railroads Figures compiled by the
Pennsylvania railroad alone show that
465 trespassers lost their lives ON that
systems lines in 1899. and 7S1 were
killed in 1904: while in 1907 the mum
Der reached 915, an average Of about
three for every business day OF the
year. In the last named year this
company inaugurated vigorous cam
paign against trespassers, and as q
result the number of fatalities In 1908
was reduced to 757.
There is no country In the world
ing on railroads approaches these fig
ures. not even II we take into consfd-
Grafton the smaller. mileage Of the
railway systems in Europe and else
where. The difference is easily ex-
planned. 1t Is due to the stringent
laws in Europe against trespAssing, to
the careful policing OF the tracks. and
especially to the fact that violations
Of the law are invariably punished.
Here In the United States conditions
are exceedingly lax. Some Of the
railroads. and notably the one ~
ferred to above, endeavor 70 enforce
the law against trespassing on rail-
road property. The Pennsylvania
company exhibits thousands OF warn
ing signs along the right Of way: but
unfortunately the actual punishment
OF persons violating the laws against
thus trespaasing has been infreQuent,

ring the local courts from holding
those who have been arrested BY the
Waterman.
The fatalities and injuries are most
frequent where the railroads pass
through manufacturing districts IN
which the tracks are lined with TAO
tories. The railroad frequently cffsrs
the shortest cut. between the factory
and the home, and statistics show that
men Of the laborfng class, artisans
and their wives and children, are an
nually killed by the hundred. Evident
ly the remedy for this shocking
slaughter, which stands as distinct re-
proach against the civilization Of
America, is to be found In the thor
ough cooperation Of city and country
authorities with the railroads in the
rigid enforcement Of the law against
trespass.
So long az tho public realizes that
warning placards, railroad watchmen
and laws against trespass are subject
to the caprice Of local magistrates
who look with lenient eye upon Of
tenders, trsspassers viii continue to
walk ON the track and this horrible
annual roll Of deaths and injury VII
continue to increase.

And now q number OF good people
are worrying over the rumor that the
census will show a loss in population
for the state OF Iowa, as compared with
1900. Perhaps it might be a good thing
to wait until we get the official fig
ures. And after that there will be
no profit in worrying. After all there
is nothing the matter with Iowa, even
If the census should show a loss in
population. There are new banks ev-
erywhere and there is more money in
the banks than ever before. There
are no deserted farms in Iowa, and the
farmers are living better than ever be-
fore-better than the farmers are liv-
ing anywhere else under the sun. The
cities and towns are improving as no
other towns in the country are i'm
proving. Everybody is busy, we'll be-
haved, and consequently happy. The
people of Iowa and the state OF Iowa
are not to be guaged by mere statis-
tics with reference to population. To
be underst God Iowa must be seen and
studied, and the closer the examinatio
the more minute the study. the more
emphatic will be the finding that there
is nothing. absolutely nothing, the mat
ter with Iowa.

entitled to and lost by majority
