northern ideas on southern states can
no longer be successful, and its
abandonment means less political
friction in the south between the two
races. In the south the thinking
white men knows that the third-term
candidates. attempt to draw the line
between the northern negro and the
southern negro, because the northern
negro is better citizen, is mere
buncombe The only difference be-
tween the negro of the north and the
south is a difference in numbers. and
the more progressive negroes in the
north are not weighed down by an I'M
mense mass Of ignorant negroes, as
are the more progressive negroes Of
the south. AS matter of fact, the
leaders OF the negroes in the south are
perhaps superior in education, common
sense and practical experience to the
negro OF the north
Waterloo Reporter: Iowa's popula-
tion may not be increasing with leaps
and bounds, but statistics reveal the
gratifying fact that fifty per cent of
the factory employees have received
s32.972,s63 in wages during the last
twelve months, or q million dollars
more than during the previous twelve
months. Substantial evidence that
Iowa is going forward, comments the
Ackley World. It is also substantial
evidence" that we need neither a
democratic nor third party regime In
the state-or nation either for that
matter.
Dubuque Telegraph Herald: 1t was
for the democrats of Nebraska, who
commissioned him to represent them
as delegates.at-large in the Baltimore
convention and instructed him to vote
for Champ Clark's nomination, to de-
eide whether Mr.. Bryan did right or
wrong in going over to Wilson.
Mr.. Bryan insisting upon Judgment
of his act, the democrats Of Nebraska
in state convention decided by a
three to one vote that he had not
violated either the letter or the spirit
of his instructions and that he had
done just as he should.
The one in three voting to censure
Mr.. Bryan would vote to drive him
out of the party If that were the
proposition up for decision. They
never have been at heart for him,
they never will be for him. Their
persistent opposition certifies to his
public virtue.

Traer Star-Clipper: During his ad.
ministration President Taft has failed
to meet the approval of a portion of
the republicans is certainly true, but
we do not recall case in which any
president has had the unanimous ap-
proval OF the party which elected him.
President Taft stands for the funda.
mental principles OF the republican
philosophy of government, for the
application of those principles in leg
islation and administration. What
they are as set forth in the platform
he has accepted as the standards to
which he will adhere and by which
he is willing to be judged in his adj
ministration. OF his honesty of pur-
nose there is general conviction; that
he has the courage of his convictions
he has shown throughout his admin
istration. But it should ever be borne
in mind that the man, Taft, is not the
issue, except incidentally. The su-
preme and only issue is, shall the re-
publican system ..of government be
continued, or shall the democratic
scheme be substituted for 1t? A fail
ure on the part of any republican to
vote for Taft or Roosevelt will hit him
only incidentally, but it will count full
sized as vote to abandon republi-
canism and inaugurate the democratic
regime.

the Barrymore, Moline, Sunday. The
new play comes here after very sue
cessful New York run and after having
been enthusiastically received in all
the cities where it has been seen. Mr..
Gates has given the new play a very
elaborate setting. three large baggage
cars being required to transport the
scenery and baggage. Each of the
three acts of the play shows a master
piece of the scene painters art, and
the costuming is the most elaborate
and expensive ever designed for mod
ern musical play. The company num-
bers more than 80, and is headed by
Cecil Lean and Florence Holbrook, two
of Americas most successful funmak-
ers. There is a very large chorus of
pretty girls who can sing and dance as
we'll as appeal to the eye, and they
wear more than 600 costumes during
the progress of the three acts of the
play. The music is particularly pretty
and catchy, and a special orchestra
including a number of instruments sci
dom used for anything but the rendt
ton of the higher class symphonies, is
used. The book of the play is taken
from the popular farce, Mistakes Viii
Happen" and Mr. Gates announces
that, unlike many modern musical
plays. it contains not the slightest sug
gestion of vulgarity.

That Augustana is a musical school,

At present Augustana has two male

Lutherman numbering together
about 40 singers. The new organiza-
ton, however, is to include both these
choruses, and as many other singers

at Lindsborg, Kan, Friday evening,
April 10. All preliminary arrange
ments for this forensic clash have
been made and a great deal of inter

considered the big debate of the year
The question which will be argued is

tiers out of the way. The sophomores
