The joys Of an Iowa Winter.

Castana Times: The beautiful or
ange groves of southern California
are frozen. Much of the golden fruit
is persisted. The dark curl of the
leaves indicates the biting cruelty of
the cold waves that spread itself over
the sunny land. California has been
proud of her climate, proud of her or
chards, proud of her vineyards and ait
times has let her pride grow arrogant
when speaking of the frozen Iowa and
the blizzard blighted middle west. But
Iowa has no desire to gloat over Cali
1ornia's misfortune. 1t would be I'M
KIND. Iowa has snow and zero weatn.
err But that doesn't hurt Iowa. In
TACT, Iowa enjoys a snug winter. Her
granaries are filed to OVERLOOKING
her live stock is fattening in the
yards, her broad acres are sleeping
the restful winter sleep that will
bring the bloom of health and beauty
at the spring awakening. Cold and
wind and blizzard may rage, but the
fuel Is piled high the cupboard and
cellar and barn are filled, the Jingle
OF the sleigh bell and the shout of the
small boy hooking on are heard on
hilltop and in valley. There is plenty
OF comfort in an Iowa winter and lots
Of fun-skating and sleighing and
dancing. Oh, it gets cold here. mighty
cold, but when the evening comes
and the storm rattles around the
house like an unleashed fury, Just pull
up the old arm chair to the roaring
IRE; turn up the light a bit. get an
Iowa newspaper in one hand and an
Iowa apple in the other and-oh. well
Just let her blow and rip and snort
the children are laughing, mother is
patching and dad is trying to figure
out whether a Turk or a Bulgarian
can run the fastest. Guess Cali
foFnia orange grove is all right. but
an Iowa farm or an Iowa home IS 4
ICY forever.

benefit from using the canal, rather
than the general taxpayers. ought to
pay the expenses of operating and
carrying the canal.
The tolls should be such as to en-
able the canal to divert from the
straits of Magellan all the traffic OF
the Pacific coast of South America; to
prevent the use of the Cape of Good
Hope route by the commerce between
the Atlantic-gulf coast of the United
States and Australia; to divert from
the Suez canal the trade between the
eastern seaboard of the United States
and the orient east of Singapore, and
to compete with the Suez canal for a
portion of Europe's commerce with the
far east.

The philippines.


Chicago Inter Ocean: President
Taft, speaking before the Ohio So
ciety OF New York on Saturday, said
that If he were partisan he would
not ask for anything better for his
party than that the incoming demo-
cratic administration should pass the
pending bill to scuttle out Of the Phil
ippines in eight years, since that bill
would make mess and muss that
would plague the men responsible for
it for twenty-five years
Yet, though a republican and par
tisan of republican principles in gov
eminent William Howard Taft is,
first of all, patriotic American.
Furthermore, he knows the Philip
pines and the Filipinos as few men in
public life do Therefore there is a
peculiar force and pertinence in Mr..
Taft's inquiries.
Is 1t possible that, little as this
democratic administration knows
about the Philippines, it is going to
let them go and defeat our efforts to
pie? Is it possible that it is going to
do that. with no foundation whatso-
ever. and without the approval of any
body who knows the islands? / am
interested In the case, but / am inter
ested chiefly in the Philippine people.
OF course it is possible The ca
pacity Of the democratic party for
laundering is well known and has no
defined limits. However, apparently
authentic information from Washing
ton indicates that it is less probable
than it was-that the democratic lead
ers are showing a disposition TO "go
slow" and retrospect the facts and
the verdict of experience with respect
to our islands and their people rather
than legisla.e according to Mr..
Bryan's doctrinaire theories.
That is good news, for it indicates
that the Filipinos may keep on hav-
ing the real chance at the American
opportunity for education and prosper
ity that they have now, and may not
be compelled to exchange these solid
benefits for the dust and ashes of an
impossible independence.
And since the democratic leaders
profess none louder-to desire moth
ing but the welfare of the Filipfnos,
why not just go on as we have been
going and give the Filipinos real
and continuous chance?
