Since the advent of the Man OF Gnlilcc

In human character,

to vote for whomsoever please and to

as my judgment shall indicate, How
ever, knowing Senator Enrton as
do, | felt that wanted others also 10
know him as he Is. 10 my mind ho
Is t, presidential possibility who pos
sosscs all the requisite qualifications In
full measure. Besides making great
president he would mako n good party
man. Senator Burton believes In tho
Republican party. While he would not
permit partisanship 10 interfere with
the dutlos of the great office 10 which
he aspircs, yet he can be counted on TO
Solidlfy the party and set Il as nail
In n sure place. There Is not dis.
loyal iiber In his great nature. not a
suspicion OF ingratltude IN his chaac-
ter. He would cherish the organlza-
ton that placed him In the highest
and most honorable official position In
the world.
II Senator Burton is nominated and
elected president every citizen of tho
United States can have his cause heard
at the White House. II he has cause.
and in party matters the humblest OF

the other day. "Colonel Roosevelt Is a |
natural man." So is Senator Burton. |
There Is quiet reserve and dignity
nbout Senator Burton. but only that |
which is perfectly fitting for n presi-
dent Of the United States. while there
Is none OF the go-lucky spirit
lbout him. The genial warmth OF his
spirit and his kindly and sympathetic
manner are totally inconsistent with
my suggestion that Senator Burton Is
old blooded. Senator Burton Is man

Burton Of the Gran. eamiIv

Theodore E. Burton belongs to the
Grant family. He is descendant of
Mathew Grant. who came to Massa.
chusetts in 1890. On one of the few
occasions when Senator Burton talks
about himself he said: "The Grants
have been Unconditional men. They be-
lieve that Ulysses S. was as typical a
Grant as was the venerable Mathew,
the founder of the clan. Travelling by
steamer on the James river. an explo-
sion occurred. which caused every one
but Grant to spring from his chair In
great alarm. 1T is unbecoming an of
iicer.' the general relakingly said. TO

excitement A Grant" the senator
added. when he is a Grant can't be.

What is a
Water Grade?

Ihe ABOVE question might
as we'll have been why is 8
Water Grader" Strange as
it may seem, all water flows
down hill, unless arrested by
some natural or artificial
barrier. In such cases it
will rise to the level of the
obstruction and then con-
tinue in its natural down
ward course. Otherwise our
streams would flow up and
down hills and over noun
tains, which would be a weird
sight indeed. Since nature
has provided that water shall
obey the laws of gravitation
the same as any other sub
stance, it IS only natural that
it should seek the easiest if
notthe shortest route to the
ocean. The tendency of any
stream. large or small, is to
wear its channel deeper and
deeper, always wearing the
fastest in the steepest places.
This erosion continues until
the grade is reduced to such
al extent that wear is not
possible. Thus it will be
seen that there is a time in
the life OF q stream when an
even grade will be found
from the.source TO the mouth
OF the stream.
Long ago Gods creatures
in general discovered that in
going from one elevation to
another the easiest route was
to fallow some stream, be-
cause the grades there were
less steep than when crossing
the ridges and the ground
being low was usually dry
and free from those condi-
tons which made travel diff
ficult on the higher grounds.
Later when civilization be-
gan to dawn, and roads and S
trails became necessary, the !.
course of some stream was !
found to be the easiest and :
pest place to build. To-day,
permanent wagon roads and
railroads in crossing rough,
mountainous country always
'ollow streams where possi-
Die. The only reason they !
olloW the streams exclusiye]
If other routes is becausel
,he best grade is almost all
vays found there. The grade
'btained by following any s
curse OF water is termed
water grade, Il is safe to !.

CAMP DODGE IS
READY FOR ARMY
PLACE WHERE IOWA GUARDS.
MEN WILL MOBILIZE Is AN
IDEAL ENcAMRMENT.

Des Moines, June 21.--For the past
eight years Camp Dodge has been the
central encampment for the various
bodies of the Iowa national guard, and
it is recognized by military men
throughout this and adjoining states
as one Of the foremost camps, in point
Of topography at least, Of any similar
state location In the country.
The camp is located on 4 low ridge
of hills running parallel to the Dies
Moines river about twelve miles north
Of this city. It is isolated but easy
of access by means Of interurban cars.
The camp contains between 100 and
200 acres and, according to national
guard officers, 1t will be- possible to
quarter 10000 men on the ground at
one time should the occasion demand.
The camp is naturally divided into
two sections. one Of them level and
the other rolling prairie with few
gullies. arrpyos and creeks. such as
to make It an ideal place for sham
battles such as are staged during the
annual encampments Of the guards
men The rolling ground Is utilized
largely for this purpose. The other
section. which is high and level, forms
the parade ground and camp ground
One of the features Of the camp Is
its water supply. II has an inde.
pendent water works system where
by water Is pumped from the Dies
Moines river into a huge supply tank
overlooking the parade ground. from
the tank pipes are run to what dur
ing the encampments are the heads Of
the various company streets. One of
the features Of the encampment Is the
guarding Of the water supply. 1t is
usually the custom of the officers to
send hostile" parties out in the dead
of night to "cut the water line" A
long hike to water Is the penalty i'm
posed for relaxed vigilance In case the
attacking party Is successful.
The rifle range for state guardsmen
is located about two miles from the
camp proper .,

Grain Review

Chicago, June 21.--Weakness devel-
oped In the wheat market today owing
to lower cable prices and improved
weather in the southwest. The foreign
decline was attributed in part to an
important failure in London. Rallies
here were not we'll maintained. Open
ing prices, which varied from hc to
sc down, with July at $1.o3 to $1.03h
and September at $1.05h to s105A,
were followed by a decided further set
back and then by upturns.
Bulls were handicapped by asser-
tons that the combined promise Of
spring and winter wheat is materially
larger than was shown by condition
figures June 1. On the other hand, fore
casts Of wet weather west and north
west were against the bears. The close
was nervous Nc to &c net lower with
July at $1.03@1.O31s and September at

Liberal country acCeptances Of bids
from here tended to ease corn. After

underwent q moderate general sag, but
later rallied.
1t was said the corn crop in y general
was receiving too much rain and needed
more sunshine but the weakness Of

MARCH DOWN TOWN
FOR THEIR DINNER

Headed by the officers. members OF
Co. G. third Iowa infantry, old and
new alike, marched In double column
formation through the business part
Of town at 1890 o'clock this after
noon from the armory to the Iowa
restaurant for dinner.
The presence of the troops In groups
Of twos and three or singly has not
been an uncommon sight down town
since the orders for mobilization
came Tuesday morning but to SEQ
them coming down through the streets
in a lengthy line caused considerable
comment and attention on the part
Of the people on the streets at the
noon hour. s .G
Several of the new members were
hailed by their former fellow en-
ployes as they passed their old
places of business and even one or
two ventured so far as to speak with
some Of the friends Of the fairer sex.
This conversation was soon inter
rupted by the others when they saw
what was going on. They didn't want
to see their new comrade starting out
wrong.

Many young men and men have ap-

company None Of them have been
accepted completely because the sup
ply of papers necessary for full en-
listment has been exhausted.
Captain .Schamp telegraphed to Des
Moines for more Tuesday but this
afternoon had received none. He ex-
poets them this evening and will
probably be able to enroll number
at once as several have made two or
three applications but were compelled
to be told to come again.
The adjutant generals second order
authorizing all Of the companies to
recruit UP to war strength gives the
to use great many more
