The campaign in lowa will not be marked by any unusual interest this Owing to the peculiar position of the democrats they cannot make a very aggressive campaign and there is no nead of the republicans making traordinary efforts, #ince they are rea- sonably certain of maintalning their majority and possibly of increasing it The people of fowa have no cause to complain of resuits of republican policy. e farmers and the manufacturers of |the state have doue well and are pros- | perous. Neither is there any reason to complain of the adminlstration of state’ affairs, which has been, judicious, and prudent 5 y Quite naturally the speech of ernor Cumming opening the republican mpalgn, or so much of, it as relates' to the tariff question, has received very general attention and comment. Mr, Cummins is credited with being the an thor of the “lowa idea™ and therefore his is interesting. It perhaps needless to say that it offers no encouragement to those who assail the principle of protection. He declared himself to he a most earnest believer ‘!n that principle, asserting that the safe. guarding of our home market is right on hoth economic and moral xrounds, He denied and repudiated the idea ad- vanced by some that protection, thouzh practically sound, is theoretically un- sound, declaring that the principle is as sound theoretically as it is efcient prac- tically. The governor made an earnest argument in advocacy of reciprocity, particularly with Canada and France. In regard to the former he said that we ought to obtain better terms there than England, “but if we could enter upon the same terms the volume of our ex ports to that country would be mightily increased and thereby the work done in the republic would be correspondingly multiplied.” Of course when this was uttered Mr. Cumming was not aware of the fact, stated upon the authority of the Canadian premier, that Canada no longer desires reciprocity with this country and that public sentiment there would not tolerate it. This statement is made by a paper understood to be the organ of Premier Laurier and there is very good reason to beliéve that it is well founded. Agitation in Canada for reciprocity has ceased. The subject is {no longer discussed by public men and i popular interest in it appears to have quite died ouf. Even should our gov- ernment now propose reciprocity on the most 1Theral terms it is safe to say that Canada wonld not give it serious con- sideration. Governor Cumming may therefore eliminate from his future ad- dresses any- reference to reciprocity so far as the Dominfon is concerned. The important point is that the re- publican leaders in lowa are standing together in support of the prineiple of protection and undoubtedly the election will show that the rank and file of the party is in accord with them. In that state as elsewhere there are republicans who believe that some duties might safely be reduced, but not below the point of protection. That principle re- publicans everywhere insist shall be maintained in the interest of American Iabor and for the continnance of na- tional prosperity. yenr ex- Gov- ference to it is 1 | | THE PRESIDENT AND PANAMA. There appears to be no sdoubt .hat President Roosevelt regards the Panama route as the only practicable one for an interoceanic canal and that therefore he is not likely to open negotiations witn Nicaragua and Costa Rica as long as there appears to be any prospect of waking a treaty with Colombia, unless congress should take action favorable to the Nicaragua route. This it Is not likely to do. The long struggle in congress over the two routes, which was termi- nated by the passage of the Spooner bill, convinced the public that the Panama is the more practicable and in every way advantageous route and it is not to be doubted that this conviction is more general now than when the nego- tiations with Colombia were begun. There are still advocates of the Nicaragna route, who are hoping that negotiations for the Panama route will fail. Quite likely some of these, under the leader- ship of Senator Morgan, will be heard from at the coming session of congress | in efforts to have the Panama negotia | tions abandoned, if they should then be pending. But they constitute a small minority and can be successful only in the event of Colombia deciding that the United States shall not have the Panama canal upon fair and reasonable terms. As the New York Journal of Com- merce remarks, the argument in favor of’ Panuma on the score of good natural harbors, a land route less than a quarter as long as the other, a summit level of only about half' the height, involving only about half the number of locks, and curvatures far more gentle than any which are possible on the San Juan route, remaing unaffected by the unsatis- factory attitude of the Colombian gov- ernment. and legislature. In regard to that attitude there appears to be reason to expect that it will undergo a change within a short time. The election of a president of Colombia will take place this month and acrording to the latest advices the cholee is likely to be Gen- | advoeate ‘of the construction of the canal by the United States. In the event of his clection it Is believed that it would be followed by the spesdy negotiation of the convention that the senate refused to ratify. Colombian It is thought that with a strong wan Hke Reyes in | the presidential cbair at Bogota there would be little doubt of the ratification of any treaty that he might send to the Celombian congress, The waiting poticy of our governufent in this matter is unquestionably well advised. The president has full au- thority. under the Spoouer a ! o ooy eral Reyes, who is said to be an earnest | [rom Rica, but he judiciously decided to give @olombia ample time in which to reconsider the mistake made in Jecting the Hay-Herran treaty. It is needless to say that our government will nceept no such terms as have since been proposed in the Colombian gress con AMUSKEMENT IN THE COUNTY COURT. ' ‘Considerable amusement prevailed in the county court this morning over a published attack by Edward Rosewater against Judge Vinsonhaler Among other heinous offenses which Rosewater alleged was that Judge Vinson- haler was often called upon to handle large sums of money while estates were pending | in court. In one instance he had $1,700 in hia care for four vears and when ques- tloned concerning Its whereabouts Judge Vinsonhaler had made the astounding statement that' the money was deposited in the bank until the case should be dis posed of, Mr. Rosewater alto raised a cry about unclaimed ‘witness fees and intimated that the present incumbent of the county judge's office was concealing a large size fortune | composed of fees which witne tailed to claim. As a matter of fact it was stated that the unclaimed witness fees amount to about $0 annualfy and are all accounted for.—The Junior Evening Yellow. The county court, ag everybody knows, is a merr merry place where bridal couples giggle and tralned funny men are employed to humor bridegrooms into buying flluminated marriage certificates at fancy prices that make the county judge smile in his sleeve. It is per- fectly nutural for the merry coterie in the county judge's office to feel hugely amused over the intimation that Judge Vinsouhaler shonld account for which the law requires him to pay over | into the county treasury, and it is per fectly natural for Judge Vinsonhaler to give the horse laugh to the representa tive of the press who would politely request the information concerning the amount of trust funds that hie has in his bands and whether these are farmed out to gain. To.be sure, such questions strike the hogorable judge as exceedingly amus- ing, but the general public ni také them more seriously. People not en-| dowed with the gift of humor may be inclined to ask why the judge has failed to pay into the county treasury the wit ness fees that were turned over to him nearly four years ago by Judge Baxter, whether the amount lar, ten dollars or fifty dollars. They may wonder if the banks that always pay interest to officers who have money on deposit in considerable sums are allowed by Judge Vinsonhaler to handie the money without paying in terest. The salaried humorists in the county judge's office doubtiess regard $1.700 a trifling sum to keep for three Fyears and one-half without accounting for interest, but would they still emile if their attention was called to another little item of $15.104 that was paid over by Judge Baxter to Judge Vinsonhpler three years and a half ago and o which Judge Vinsonhaler has had the use all that time? Why is it that Judge Vinsonhaler should give the horse lnugh to The Bee and refuse to fell what he has done with that money or whether it has drawn any interest for him or for the Union Pacific Rallroad company, which paid it over to County Judge Baxter? Such little inquiries, of course, “are fun for the boys, but they may be death to the frogs.” | money funds private trust banks for was one dol- Whatever may be thought of the new departure in conducting the republican primaries, their manifest weakness is in the lack of foresight in the distribu- tlon of the candidates to the sections of the county. It is absolutely certain that the democrats will re nominate Frank Rroadwell of South Omaha for the office of clerk of the court, and it is more than probable that will nominate another candidate for the ticket from South Omaha. Last year ihe republicans ignored South Omaha altogether, leaving that city without representation on the legislative ticket, thus giving the democrats a cluh to wield on the line of local pride. Such a course should, if possible. be avoided by repuiblicans this year. Inasmuch as the entire available list of candidates containg only one name from South Omaha, it will be not only good politics but fair play for the republican voters in Omaha to give the South candidate their support. various Omaba | Organization is the order of the day.

Money In Kansas Wh Review of Reviews. Some of the accounts pf money made by ralsing wheat iniPawnee and other of the thinly settled counties where land It to be had for $10 an acre put to shame the most enticing announgements of the ‘“get-rich- quick” concerns. . For Instance, a man who worked through the season as a harvester, then. at threshing and fall plowing and planting, earning. about $150, bought a team of horses and arranged to plant a quarter. of @ section of land, 160 acres, to wheat and take as his shave two-thirds of the crop. When the crop was threshed his share, on velld of twenty bushels an acre a market value of 6 a and | cents, was over $1,200. With this a payment | was made on a quarter section and his own crop planted. Another as good a year and the land is paid for. Saved Momey on His Funeral, Detroit Tribune, Simple and ‘inexpensive was the funeral of the late Lord Sallsbury, England’s late great premier. Some $70 all told was the cost of the obsequies. This was in ac- ordance with the statesman's wish. He was rich, but abhorred ostentatious and vulgar display in rites to the dead and the burden imposed on the poor in attempting what is called “a respectable funeral.” | The dead premier's example is wholesome and in keeping with his great life; but if his were to be the limit in American tunerals, which are strictly up to date as a rule and sometimes very “nobby,” many undertakers would have to be buried at public expense. The man who was “just walking around to save funeral expenses’ was unsentimental, but built a monument to his own memory more enduring than the fame of a congressman, HOW WOMEN CARRIED KANSAS, Tyranny of Horrld Men Vigoromsly Resented at the Po Chicago Record-Herald What women with the elective franchise can do when they make up their minds to get control of the schools is well fllustrated | by the returns from the school district elec- tions in Kansas. The returns also tend to destroy the ven- erable, time-worn tradition to the effect that women cannot keep a secret, and hence are unfitted for politics. The issues of the campaign in Kausas upon which the women achieved their victory were Kept a secret in each district untl the day of balloting. Incredible as this may seem, it appears 10 be abundantly afirmed by the dispatches from the Sunflower state. The platform on which the women quletly conducted a winning fight declared In favor of wiping out the objectionable provisions of the state teachers’ contracts, which pro- hibited teachers from receiving calls from their admiring male friends during the school term and provided for forfeiture of a portion of thelr salaries If the women married before the end of the school terms, That’ such provisions could be Incorpo- rated in teachers' coutracts in such an ad- vanced commonwealth as Kansas taxes the credulity of ordinary minds, but there ap- pears to be no doubt that school boards, where the men were in control, were dis- posed to enforce them to the letter, When it became evident that these boards intended incorporating these senseless provisions In the teachers' contracts for the new school year the women of the state prepared for a fight. They “‘went after” their husbands, brothers and sweethearts in the most ap- proved style of the smooth politiclan. A campalgn was organized which aroused the women of the state in every district where “their liberties were menaced.” Every woman was urged to g0 to the polls on the day of election and vote for three women for members of the district board. And like clever ‘politiclans they swooped down on the polls in the afternoon of elec- tion day before the men could marshal their scattergd forces. And they saved the day for the Kansas sohoolma’'am.

His friends were surprised to learn that he had recently refused $500,000 for the big double house west of Sixth avenue and running from Thirty-third to Thirty-fourth street, once notorious as the “House of All Nations,” an Immoral resort, but unoccupied for years, and has leased it at an insignificant figure the “Little Order of Nuns.” Tt is now being used us a home for poor working girls. “Although I have had no personal deal- ings with Mr. Adams,” sald Sister Franci, | { head of the order, “T know that the spirit of restitution for the wrongs he has done actuated him in letting us have this great buflding for a humble renting.
