POLITICAL HOMICIDE.

The friends and supporters of the in
surgent senators and congressman
from Iowa should control the next state
convention and express in plain Ian
guage approval of their course. That
is the only kind of republicanism that
will carry the country in the next cleo
ton With the rapid spread Of intelli--
gence, with the increasing growth of
altruistic sentiment with the broader
and deeper sense of appreciation of
mans responsibility as his brothers
keeper" there must be corresponding
response in political and legislative
circles. Reactionaries are in hopeless
minority in every part of the country.
To allow them to control party macl1in-
cry and dictate party platforms is
equivalent to plain political homicide.

who reside in the country should be

The daily papers have INDUCED in a
good deal of foolish talk about the
elopement of a kiddish son of a prom
inent statesman with shop girl. It
was just an ordinary case of an i'm
pulsive youth running away with the
girl he liked. But no country paper in
its village sphere could have been so
inane over a ridiculous trifie as the
city papers were in their treatment of
young Mr.. knoxs sudden exit from

THE ROAD DRAG.


A farmer came into the office this
morning and said, Il wish you would
urge the people to use the King drag
on the roads right now, when they
need it," He said, IF they wait for
the wet spots to get dry before they
drag, the most Of the road will be too
dry to allow good work to be done.
Every mile dragged before the spring
rains come is mile of better road for
all summer Continuing he said,
zone Of our rural free delivery car
riers, one who lives in my neighbor-
hood, commenced talking King drag to
his patrons, last Monday and by the
way he is something of crank on good
roads, and on the following day four
Of the farmers were on the road with
their King drags. / passed him on the
way to town this morning and he was
wearing smile as broad as the tail of
Halley's comet ! wish you would urge
your readers TO try this oTI their car
riers and watch the effect There are
not enough King drags in the districts
to do justice to the work, and here is
an opportunity for those whose bust
ness il is to furnish drags to see that
they are constructed. 1 believe that it
is the duty Of all road supervisors to
comply with the statute, and see that
the roads are dragged. Our laws are
good enough if they are only enforced,
and with them enforced we will have
reasonably good roads. That is all 1
have to say this morning. Good bye

When the storm oe revolution burst
over Russia four years ago. warnings
which the cxarinA uttered were 1usti-
fed. Her prophecies had come true.
She alone among the Statesmen and
magnates Of Russia had realised the
consequence Of systematically oppres-
sing = great nation. Her relatives
outside Of Russia, including some Of
the most influential members Of the
English royal family. and her own
brother. now the reigning grand duke
Of Hesse. urged her to turn her back
on the country and to seek safety in
. foreign refuge. but the cxarina. who
alone had seen the danger and who
had sought to avert It, could not be
persuaded to leave her husbands
side. The grand dukes hed to Paris
and the grand duchesses dispersed to
the pleasure resorts Of Europe. but
the czarina remained at home, even
though 1t seemed certain at many
times that death At the hande Of the
exasperated rebels would be the only
reward for her courageous determine
ton.
Sometimes the terrible calm Of her
profound melancholy is varied by
passionate iits Of weeping. which hor-
rify and alarm the members of her
family and the ladies Of her suite. At
nights she cannot sleep. but sees aw-
full visions of the thousands of un-
happy men and women who during
her husbands reign and by virtue Of
Pthe death warrants signed by his
hand have died on the gallows simply
because they held political opinions
which were considered Objectionable
by the recognized and accredited rep
resentatives Of law and order, Is
these terms are undersA I'd in Russia
When she falls into fltful slumbers
her sleep. such as 1t IL, IL disturbed
by gruesome dreams and nightmares;
dreams of blood and awful horrors,
visions Of an inferno created not by
the Imagination Of . great horror, but
by the revolving realities Of the pre-
dominant political system In Russia.
Since the first outbreak of revolu-
tion at the end Of 1904 the cxarina
has been living In bondage. Her pris-
on is gilded, but her Incarceration is
hardly less terrible than that of the
Siberian exiles. There has been no
moment in which the danger of as
sassination was absent. Plots and
conspiraeies to murder the entire Inn
perial family were discovered and
frustrated. Bombs were found In the
imperial palace and poison in the
food destined for the imperial table.
Day after day news came from all
parts Of the empire Of bloodshed and
war between the old and the new or
der. Throughout the period Of revolu-
tionary disorder in Russia the cxarina
continued to work with frantic energy
for the Introduction of progressive
measures and for = conciliatory policy
toward the nation.
1t is one of the ironies Of fate that
this woman, who spared NO effort to
save the country. should be the pri-
mary victim Of Russian tyranny. She
Is martyr to the cause Of liberty and
civilization.
Future 10 With the Car.
After all 1t is with the car himself
that the immediate future lies. It in
no other mans fault that the outlook
is 20 dark. AS recently as q year ago
the upper classes were inclined to
speak of him with some forbearance,
even friendliness. Now they will not
hear his name with patience.
