dent and Other Notables Speak.
Washington, Dec. 8. Miss Helen
Taft, daughter of the president, un-
veiled the heroic statue erected by
this government in honor of Baron
Frederick William Augustus Won Steu-
ben. one of the foreign noblemen who
helped to win the revolutionary war.
President Taft. Count Won BernStorff,
the German ambassador; Representa-
tive Richard Bartholdt of Missouri and
DR.. Charles ]. Hexamer, president of
the National German-American alli-
ance, made addresses, eXtolling the
foreigner who came across the seas TO
help fight Americas battles and who
became a major general in the Amer-
can army.
When Miss Taft tightened the
strings that pulled the flags from the
statue a battery OF artillery fired a
major generals salute of thirteen
guns. Following the dedication there
was a parade of more than 10000 men
through the streets through slush and
snow which covered the streets of
Washington by half foot.

Lisbon contains the grave Of Henry
Fielding. 1t was on Oct. 4. 1754. that
Fielding died in the Portuguese cap
ital. and 1t was in 1890 that his tomb
was erected in the English cemetery.
And Fielding didn't like Lisbon. "As
the houses. converts. churches. etc,
are large" he wrote. ''and all built
with white stone. they look beautiful
at distance, but as you approach
nearer and find them to want every
kind Of ornament all idea Of beauty
vanishes at once" At that time a
voyage to Lisbon was an undertaking
not lightly to be contemplated. 1t

INSURGENTS RETREATING.
Falling Back Into Mountains, Where

El Paso. Tex, Dec. 8.-News from
the insurrection infected region Of Chi

are falling back into the mountains as
the troops advance, In the hope of
drawing the troops into the rough
country before fighting Machine guns
have been sent from the City OF Mex

and these are to be sent out against
the rebels, who have only rifles and in
some instances are short on ammuni

Americans from that region gener-
ally agree that the insurgents are
strong and that there must OF neces-
sity be some hard fighting in a few

HAS TROUBLES. TOO.

Muscatine Is in the same boat as
Ottumwa. It's city wards are top
heavy and the returns are not all IN
until the election has become an old
story After the last presidential cleo
ton an effort was made to secure a
division of the Muscatine wards, but
evidently no better results were Sc
cured than in similar effort here, for
the Muscatine Journal again referred
to the subject in yesterdays issue.
The Journal said:
While standpatters and progressives
are engaged in wordy attempts to ex-
tract as much comfort for themselves
as possible from the rather Indefinite
results of the state primary, there is
one fact demonstrated in that event,
Of interest to Muscatine voters and
citizens, concerning which there can
be no debate or doubt.
While the vote at the primary was
larger than two years ago, 1t was OF
course much smaller than in regular
elections. And yet there was the GUS
tomary long and tiresome wait for re-
turns, especially from the third ward.
In that ward the election officials did
not complete their labors until we'll
along in the afternoon Of the next
day
For geographical heasons two of the
wards in this city should be divided
into additional voting precincts. For
numerical reasons, If the phrase may
be permitted, as has been demon.
strated again and again, there is on
actual need for additional precincts in
this city.
No more popular move could be
made than to provide for division OF
at least two, and even three or all, of
the wards into two voting precincts
each.
1t is only necessary to add that what
the Journal has to say of Muscatine's
top-heavy wards applies with greater
force here at home. There the com.
plant seems to be directed largely
against one ward. In Ottumwa It may
be made against every ward in the
city. This matter should be attended
to right now. There Is time now be-
fore the November election.

sm,TA FOR SPEAKER.

During the primary campaign II was
brought out that the success OF waiter
n smith in the ninth district congress
sional race meant more than the noml-
nation Of a Republican candidate for
congress in that district. Mr.. Smiths
nam.e had been advanced as prob
ahla successor to Joseph G. Cannon
az sneaker of the house and this add
ed to the interest Iowans felt IN MS
contest for denomination. Congress
man Smiths return to Washington
after his success in the primary has
revived the speakership discussion.
John Callan O'Laughlin, the Chicago
Tribune's washington correspondent
in an article today declares that
Smith, II elected, may be Cannon's
successor and declares that not only
IA President Taft ready to support the
Iowan for the place, but that the in
surgents have faith In Smith and may
give him their support. Mr.. O'Laugh-
lin says:
Far more important to the nation
than to the local situation in Iowa Is
the denomination Of Walter l. Smith
as Republican representative from the
Ninth district. II Smith be elected
and the Republicans remain in power
the chances favor his succession to
Joseph G. Cannon as speaker Of the
house.
It was because Of this possibility Of
future greatness that the house yes
terday gave him great welcome
Regulars and insurgents extended
their congratulations. The reception
was looked upon with envious eyes by
those who have aspirations for the
shoes OF Mr.. Cannon.
Although Mr.. Smith has been charg-
ed with "Cannonism," it is known here
that he has not been in entire sympa-
thy with the czar-like tactics of the
Danville sage. At the same time he
would have been guilty Of base ingrat-
itude had he denounced Mr.. Cannon
or failed to support him upon various
important matters. Recognizing his
strength and influence among mem
bers, Mr.. Cannon has given him choice
committee positions and has aided
him In getting legislation in which the
Iowan was interested.
Smith Friendly With Insurgents.
But Mr.. Smith has so conducted
himself as to maintain friendly rela-
tions with many insurgents. There is
today large number Of representa-
tives who would be willing to elect
Mr.. Smith to the speakership If Mr..
Cannon should be removed. Those
who favor Mr.. Smith believe he would
profit by the mistakes Mr.. Cannon has
made and those who are opposed to
him admit he would be fair and just
in his decisions and interpret the rules
IN accordance with precedence and the
facts.
What adds to Mr.. Smiths chances
ID the fact that he is in high favor
with the administration. 1t will be
recalled that the president wrote a
letter in his behalf to Gen. Granville
M. Dodge, which the latter made pub
lie during the primary campaign. Mr..
Taft probably will do this for various
members, and it would have no signif1-
canoe were it not for other develop
ments which show the way the presi-
dent leans.
/ happen to know that Mr.. Taft be-
