Windham county affairs are in some
doubt since it was learned that George

the county, is holding his office, to which
he was appointed by Governor Mead, IL
legally, inasmuch as he was a represen-

his appointment and has been again re-
elected The Vermont statutes state
that no member of the general assem-
bly, shall hold the Office OF sheriff, but
it was only by chance that the newly
elected states attorney of the county,
A. V. d. Piper, noticed the reading of
the statute. Now there is question

INoPPoRTuNE BOOSTING.

Among other good things in Mr..
H. w Hughes address of welcome to
the Iowa Grand Lodge of Masons in
Burlington on Tuesday, was what he
SAID about Burlington not being given
to inordinate Boosting or inopportune
boosting. BY way of Illustration he re-
lated the following:
I'VE are not like a certain city in
this state whose Boosting has made it
famous. There was a resident of that
city who was returning from a trip to
Europe. On board the vessel, a pas.
senger died. Apparently he had no
friends or acquaintance. The captain
held funeral service over the remains
and then inquired IL anyone had any
remarks to make. No one responded
Again the captain inquired: Is there
anyone who cares to deliver a eulosy
OF make any remarks in regard to the
deceased This gentleman arose and
said, Captain, ] was not acquainted
with the deceased, but if no one else
has anything to say, I would like to
talk little while about Waterloo

"Reminiscences Of the Iowa Bar.

d. G. Beaman, in Annals of Iowa:
think it was in 1874 when Tom Null
vany was indicted for selling whisky
at Eldon, Wapello county.
The prohibitory law ives not popular
In the railroad and river towns. His
trial was in Ottumwa, where the law
was then seldom enforced, the juries
being disposed to acquit if any excuse
was afforded for SO doing.
Morris J. Williams was Judge, NJ. H.
Jones of Bloomfield was district at
torney, and H. H. Trimble and E. l..
Burton were Mulvany's attorneys.
An old farmer named Solomon Will
son Hamilton Leger Hearn, who lived
near Eldon. was the states only wit
ness. Sol Hearn, as he was called for
short, was frequently engaged in litiga-
ton, indeed, he said that he had so
little confidence in his own Judgment
that he never felt safe in paying a
debt until jury Of his neighbors had
said 1t was Just.
His reputation for truth and verac-
ity had been impeaohed over and over
again in numerous lawsuits
When Mulvany's trial came on,
Trimble and Burton had half dozen
of Hearn's neighbors in attendance to
impeach him, and this they assumed
would furnish the jury good excuse
to acguit 3 result which seemed to be
a dead sure thing.
District Attorney Jones put Hearn
on the witness stand and proved the
purchase by him of whisky at Null
vany's saloon. He then proceeded with
the examination as follows:

in Eldon township"
About seventeen years, said Sol

HOME AND MOTHER.

The Iowa Grand Lodge of Masons
convened in annual session in Burling-
ton on Tuesday. The address of vel
come on behalf of the city was de-
livered by Mr. Fl. w. Hughes, superin-
tendent at Burlington of the railway
mail service. Mr.. Hughes is not only
splendid railway postoffice official,
but is one of the most eloquent public
speakers in the state. He is a deep,
clear and logical thinker and possesses
the coveted art of expression in an
eminent degree. In extending the
Ihospitalities Of the city to the visiting
Masons he reminded them that No. 1,
the oldest lodge, the mother lodge, was
located in Burlington, and that it was
the flame at which five hundred tapers
have been lighted. After the lapse of
half a century they had come back to
the mother lodge-back Home. There
upon Mr. Hughes paid this eloquent
and fitting tribute to the family sane
| tuary:

resonant, there may be other words
as euphonious, but where in all the
vocabulary of Christendom will you

needy In its issue for the current
week the Washington Democrat, pub
lished at Mr. Meals home, takes the
same view of the matter. It says:

He is a traveller and speaker and

The Crisis at CHICAGO.

Springfield, MASS Republican:
That the Republican party will pass
through one of the great crises in it's
history at the Chicago convention must
now be apparent to the dullest voter
The more discerning and intelligent
of Mr.. Roosevelt's followers regard it
as a struggle to determine whether
the radical or the conservative wing
of the party shall have permanent pos
session of the old concerns ma
chfnery, plant, trademarks, labels and
good will. AS an established and or
ganized method of doing political bus
mess, the party is valuable asset and
it is worth fighting for. The Repub-
licans opposed TO Mr. Roosevelt feel
the same way There will continue
to be conservatism in politics, and the
conservatives wish to do business
hereafter with the organization and
the prestige of the Republican party
back of them. From this point of view
it is now more. important to either
side that control of the party should
be gained than that the next president
should be a Republican For there
will be many presidential elections
after 1912. Public sentiment will have
its shifts and reactions, and causes
may be promoted or hindered by the
possession or the loss of the historic
organization which made Lincoln.
Grant and Mckinley Presidents of
the United States.
President Taft has evidently come
to believe that very much is at stake
on the simple question Of party con.
troll and his refusal to entertain pro
posals OF compromise or to withdraw
from the contest under any circum-
stances whatever must be mainly due
to the conviction that Mr.. Roosevelt's
program involves party revolution.
Mr., Ro5seelt proposes to make over

the Republican party on the most rad
ical lines, to make it sponsor for prin-
ciples which have never been indorsed
in the past and to stamp upon it his
own personality so inaffacably that in
times to come, assuming that it sur
vived his death, people would refer
to him as the founder of it. The peop-
pie are to rule: they are to rule
through the Roosevelt Republican
party; and the Roosevelt Republican
party Is to rule through Mr.. Roosevelt.
This involves not only the TRANSFORMED
t ton of the party along certain popular
lines, but the destruction of tenure OF
president in Office $50 long as he
serves the people WELL" and the de.
velopment of personal rule as the
country has never known 1t in its
history. All this will be facilitated
lif Mr.. Roosevelt succeeds at Chicago
/ He could be. and would be, in our be
lief. defeated in November, but the
party would still be his for use in flu
ture years.

CAN'T DEFINE EN- TOGETHER.

Crediting The Gate City with al
ways maintaining a commendabIe
thirst for knowledge, the Burlington
Hawk-Eye says in reply to the inquiry
as to whether rhltbarb is vegetable
or a fruit that "the answer is obvious:
rhubarb belongs in the same classiH
cation with tomatoes" So far so
good. Now will the Hawk-Eye enlight-
en- us as to which classification toma-
tees belong p eolluk Gate City.
With great pleasure. The Hawk
Eye never knowingly withholds infor-
nation that will be of value to it's fell
low citizens. The tomato according
to our understanding of the promolog-
icaI and vegetal adjustments, belongs
in the same classification as rhubarb

Colonel Hepburn Indignantly denies
the story telegraphed from Washing
ton and printed in the Des Moines
Register and Leader to the effect that
he had expressed approval of the
declaration of former Senator Young
in favor Of Senator Cummins for Presi-
dent and that the Iowa delegates to
the Chicago convention should support
the senior Iowa senator. Mr.. Hepburn
says emphatically that he has never
entertained any such thought nor
made such statement. He does not
believe that supporting Mr.. Cummins
would help the party in Iowa. He has
not changed his opinion formed some
months ago that President Taft ought
to be nominated and that he will be
and will be reelected in November.

THE FLAG is PASSING BY.

Hats off.
Along the street there comes
A blare of bugles, ruffle of drums
A flash of color beneath the sky.
Hats off.
The flag is passing by.
Blue and crimson and white it shines
Over the steeltipped, ordered lines,
Hats off!
The colors before us fly,
But more than the flag is passing by
Sea fights and land fights, grim and
great,
Fought to make and to save the
state;
Weary marches and sinking ships;
Cheers of victory on dying lips;
Days of plenty and years of peace.
March of strong lands swift in
crease;
Equal justice, right and law,
Stately honor and reverent awe;
Sign of nation great and strong
To ward her people from foreign
wrong.
Pride and glory and honor all
Live in the colors to stand or fall
Hats off!
Along the street there comes
A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums,
And loyal hearts are beating high.
Hats off.

More Male teachers.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Not so many
years ago, the man was set down as
a fool or a crank, who had the nerve
to state that the elimination of the
man teacher Is not a good, desirable
thing. It was stated that soon the
last of the males would be chased out
of the profession, and that in this
sphere woman would reign supreme.
But the very recent past has brought
a change. There is growing demand
for men teachers. and an ever-in-
creasing complaint that it is difficult
to get and still more difficult to keep
male teachers, as most of the younger
men simply teach until they get
something better to do, or can quail
lily themselves for work that pays bet
| ter. And the change in sentiment has
been brought about by the women,
and more especially by the women
who teach. The real teachers among
the women have long since recogniz
| ed the fact that there is need Of men
! in the schools, and they have sue
ceeded in convincing many others
1 including many school authorities, OF
that fact.
