NEWS AND GOSSIP OF IOWANS
AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL

Washington, D. c., March '28.-A
whole host of Iowa business men, from
practically every important shipping
point in the state invaded Washington
last week for the hearing of the Iowa
cases" before Commissioner Harlan OF
the interstate commerce commission.
| The last hearing was held on Tuesday
of this week.
Because Of the great press of busi-
ness before the commission the argu-
ments will likely not be made before
September and the decision will likely
not be handed down for thirty days or
so after the argument.
Clifford Thorne of the Iowa State
Railroad commission summed up the
case briefly when he said: "We are
trying to get a square deal for Iowa
shippers"
There are many matters in contro-
versy, but because of the cooperation
of the business men of the various
cities they have been able to reach an
understanding on what complaints
should be made and as result very
strong argument has been presented
to the interstate commerce court. This
argument is in behalf of fair rate
from the Atlantic coast to Iowa points
and from Iowa to the coast and also
for fair rates for interior shipments.
Mr.. Thorne is not only interested In
this case but on Tuesday as chairman
of the commission representing the
eight states interested in the famous
Sanborn cases he filed a brief before
the United States supreme court ana
he will spend the greater part OF this
week here arguing 1t.
BY decision of the commerce court
on Monday morning. if it Is upheld, a
lowering of Interstate rates Is as
sured. AS the vote was four to three,
however it may be reversed.
On Friday, Saturday and Monday
the railroads put in seventy-three ex-
hibits and finished with some more
on Tuesday.
Among the Iowa men in Washington
for the hearing are Mr.. Thorne, H. n:
Henderson, commercial counsel OF
Iowa, George Cosson, attorney gen.
eral D. A. Robbins, assistant attorney
general A. D. Beals of the state rate
department, B. E. Sewell Of the
Greater Davenport committee, J. G.
Frye and E. G. Wiley of the Greater
Des Moines committee, N. P.
Guernsey, attorney for the Greater
Des Moines committee, N. D. Smiley
of Clinton, A. B. Sundberg of Clinton,
E. E. Egan of Burlington, J. A. O'Hol-
leran of Clinton, John Dewitt Of Keo-
kuk, E. H. Draper of Marshalltown
and J. D. Dowler of Ft. Dodge.
Mr.. Gould, who came to represent the
Muscatine business interests, found a
telegram awaiting him upon his ar
rival at the hotel announcing the very
sudden death of his wife. He returned
home Immediately.
Judge Henderson is remaining over

Loving peace, hoping for harmony
among nations, formulating plans for
the future that will make, for the
country's good, he emphasizes these
| facts anew by his words, his presence
and the recollections aroused by his
superb craftsmanship.
The impression that he made was
fine. Manchester admired him before
he came. She loves him now. Sin.
cerity was in his voice and genuine
ness sat upon him. His manners
pleased. A genial giant, he makes
friends Immediately. His remarks en-
lightened, impressed and uplifted.
That our city Is Taft city Is I'M
mistakably evident.
The large majority of our republi-
can voters will continue this cam
paign with more enthusiasm and
greater devotion now that our leader
has been among us.
What Is true Of Manchester applies
to Nashua and Concord.
Those cities were as deeply i'm
pressed as we were by the president,
and their voices of approval of his
candidacy are as enthusiastic, general
and strong as ours are.

Senator MARITIME of New Jersey in

Mr.. MARITIME worded it thus. seWe
feel that his services while at the head
of that department have been Of in
calculable value to the American
people, and take this opportunity to
express our confidence in his great

rendered this country"
Right now Dr. Wiley is a mighty
much discussed man in Washington,
but very few legislators care to take
him up and give him either a vote of
confidence or whack over the head.
All prefer to sit on the fence when his
name is mentioned.

OBITUARY.
Samuel William Brown.

Samuel William Brown was born In
Dane county, Wis, February 20, 1853,
and died in Ottumwa, Iowa, March Z,
1912. His boyhood days were spent on
the farm. In 1875 he married Miss
Rachael NJ Clayton of Spring Green,
Wis. To this union two children were
born, Ella Evelyn and Walter NJ, both
of whom reside in Ottumwa. In 1883
he entered the employ of the Milwau-
kee railroad at Sanborn, Iowa, as
boilermaker and eight years later was
transferred to Chillicothe, Mo-, where
he resided eleven years, coming to Of
tumwa ten years ago when the d.
vision was changed. He was mem
Der of the Sanborn lodge, l. O. o. F.,
since 1886 and in 1893 joined the M.
w. A. at Chillicothe, Mo. He was also
a member of the Boilermakers' local
at Dubuque, Iowa. /,
Always a man Of uprightness,
honesty and high moral character and
a believer in the teachings of Jesus
Christ, he was a loving and indulgent
husband and father, hard and faith
full worker, kind and considerable
toward everyone. He was held in deep
affection by his family and had the
high regard and appreciation of his
employers and brother employees and
the esteem Of all who knew him. His
death, resulting after a brief illness
from typhoid fever, followed by
peritonitis, was sincerely mourned.
Besides his wife and daughter, Ella
e. Melick, and son, Walter M. Brown,
Of Ottumwa, Mr.. Brown is survived by
three sisters and three brothers, Mrs.
Grace Westenhaver, Baraboo, Wis.,,
Mrs. Margaret Dickerson, Lone Rock,

Impressive funeral services were
conducted from the residence, III
Blackhawk street by Rev. E. w. r.
Holler, pastor of the Benton Street
Presbyterian chapel, assisted by the
local Odd Fellows and mixed quar-
tet. Floral offerings In large quantity
and more than ordinary beauty at
tested the esteem in which Mr.. Brown
was held. The remains were taken to

by the Presbyterian minister and the
Odd Fellows and Modern Woodmen

ing the accuracy of the statement. We
couldn't. Only God and Bonaparte
knew what Roosevelt thought" The
rest of us know only what he said
HUH says the Corsican. What does
what he said signify except that his
hindsight is better than his fore
sight?" Besides, 1T is at least an open
question whether such promise
would not have been contrary to
good morals and public policy, and
therefore one to be disregarded." 1t
surely is-the openest question ever
propounded. Heaven knows we would
be the last to prevent the colonel
from coming into contact with good
morals. But we respectfully suggest
to Charles Jocular Bonaparte that he
lay down his Machiavelli for a few
rr0'-- ents and send out for the loan of
a bible.
But here is the crusher Even
though Roosevelt did make the prom
Use, he didn't make it to anybody in
particular, "only to the circumam-
bient air.; therefore it is merely
childish" to talk of it's having binding
force In this airy fashion the great
mind dismisses from consideration
the solemn pledge of an American
president to the American people.
1t is all right. 1t is what we expect
ed. 1t sounds the depths of that mas
sive mentality. But here and now we
want to warn Charles Jocular Bona
parte to take care not to say again
that the time came when Roosevelt
became convinced that it was his
duty to seek the nomination" The
colonel won't like that. Here for
months he has been lodging and
ducking and twisting and squirming
to evade the relentlessly pursuing
nomination, only to learn at last that
his own beloved attorney general has
not even heard of the great popular
uprising which has swept over the
country like lightning-bug over a
potato patch
La! La! How bitterer than a
brakes quack is the chortle of a
chump!

BONAPARTE TO THE BAT.

Harper's Weekly.-There is no tell
ing what will happen when the mas
sive intellect of Charles Jocular Bona
parte begins to oscillate Just now it
is being stirred to it's incalculable
depths in an effort to brush away the
third-term myth" 1t seems that there
is no basis for the tradition whatever
Washington's remuneration signified
nothing. Jackson retired because he
was cid and tired, and mo other
president could have had third term
if he had wished it,"
So runs on the jolly jabberer. The
fact that Jackson, in three messages
to congress, urged the enactment of
a specific law prohibiting a third term
he overlooks entirely. Possibly he
never heard of it. That Madison prob
ably and Monroe surely could have
had third term but for the existence
of the precedent is a fact of which
also we may charitably assume he is
not aware. Obviously, too, the name
of Jefferson does not appear in the
history on the Corsican mantelpiece.
So how could the dear man know that
that particular president was be-
seeched to accept third non-consec-
utive term and fatty refused to con-
slider for a moment the disregarding
of the "salutary example" set by his
'illustrious predecessor"
After all, the source of all things
is the colonel. Listen to this: "Roose-
welt is the only president who re-
fused third term avowedly because
he thought no president should hold
Office continuously for more than
eight years" Can you beat it? OF
course we could not think of question:
