the fact that grave
Forelgnlsm Is one of them. After our re

and If It bo aald that Spain was only a
weakling , It must to iborno In mind that
when America was a weakling , she met the
mightiest power of the slobo and wrung
from her her Independence.
But the forclgnlsm that wo have most to

want no Gorman-American party , no Irish-

where else. In the tlmo of the civil war

Grave dangers of a domestic sort con
front us. Ono Is the unscrupulous political
demagogue , ever ready to "crook the preg
nant hinges of the knee that thrift may fol
low fawning. " Another Is the plutocrat
who wants the earth nnd would crowd his
fellows off from It and trample them be
neath his Iron heel. Not that It Is a sin to

at that ho sometimes feels like howling like

The conflict between Tabor and capital

the enormous combines that are now being

threaten us like the shadow of an avalanche ,
Our only salvation from these dangers late

do not mean Just any kind of spirit that
may bo abroad , the vulgar spirit of the
swashbuckler , which Is supposed , especially
by foreigners , to distinguish Americans , nor
that love of money which Is so characteristic
of ua nnd which flames out perhaps nowhere
as in America ; nut that better spirit that
girded and glorified the fathers of the re
public. Not that all of those were demi
gods ; there were torles and traitors , slaves
and slave drivers , oven then as now ; but
there were some things pre-eminently typi
cal of the earlier Americans that we do well
to remombpr and to perpetuate , and ono of
these was love of liberty. They brought In
their bosoms a spark that burst Into flame
on the Fourth of July , 1776 , and that flame
licked the heavena nnd lighted up the whole
world ,

Love of law , no less than love of liberty ,
distinguished the fathers. They said : "We
hold these truths to be Indisputable ; that all
men are entitled to llfo , liberty and the pur
suit ot happiness. " To secure these , gov
ernments were Instituted among men. If
these governments fall to servo their pur
pose It Is the privilege of the people to alter
or abolish them and to establish new gov
ernments founded upon such principles and
with such powers as shall better serve their
purpose. But they were no anarchists. They
believed In government by the people- and
for the people. The prevalence of lynch law
In those later days is one of the saddest
omens of our times , and unless It be checked
It means a relapse Into barbarism. Let our
motto be , "Lex rex. " Let this be Inscribed
over the door of every school house , every
court house , every state houee , and on the
dome of the capltol at Washington.
Itevercoce for woman distinguished , the
fathers of the republic and must distinguish
their eons. There Is much nowadays ot
the coming woman , but ho cannot bo
sweeter and nobler than the woman who
has come. God forbid that flho should be
less. There Is danger that the ambitious
now woman , grasping at the shadow , may
miss the substance ; and when the sanctuary
ot the homo become * a memory , then "Icha-
bod" may > bo written on the pillars ot the
republic.
Lastly the fathers of the republic were
distinguished for their reverence for relig
ion. They did not Indeed bcliovc In any
Incestuous alliance between church and
state. Lord Baltimore , the Catholic , and
Roger Williams , the Baptist , Joined hands
In the maintenance of religious freedom for
America. The Pilgrim Fathers In the cabinet
ot the Mayflower wrote out an instrument
beginning , "Wo , whoso names are hereunto
set , for the glory of God , have determined
to plant a colony. " The lathers of the re
public reverently recognized their depend
ence on the God of the universe and woo
botldo us It wo forget the God ot our fathers.

The Board of Trustees of the public
library at the regular monthly meeting yes
terday afternoon elected Mrs. Mary E.
Dalley librarian in place ofMiss Peterseu ,
who has held the position for a number ot
years. The appointment of Mrs. Dalley
came as a great surprise , as there had been
no Intimation that the board was figuring
on a change. The new librarian Is the
widow of the late Colonel D. B. Dalley , a
hero of the civil war , and her two sons are
now serving as members of the Fifty-first
Iowa In the Philippines. In vlow of the an
ticipated reduction In the Income of the
library the board decided on a material cut
In salaries. That of the librarian was re
duced from $60 to $45 and those of the two
assistants from $40 to $30. Mrs. Albortson
and Miss Sherman were reappolnted as
sistants , but the former intimated that she
would not remain under a reduced salary.
'Miss ' Petersen before the board adjourned
submitted her resignation to take effect
July 1. Miss Sherman was given leave of
absence for < the months of July and August
with two weeks' pay. She will attend the
summer school of library methods. Mrs.
Emma Brodbcck will act as substitute dur
ing her absence.
The report of the librarian for May
showed the number of visitors to the insti
tution during the month to have been 6,602
and tbo number of registered booktakers
8,271. The report of the finance committee
showed the balance on June- to the credit
of the library was $2,134.85.

Work of Hurfflnrfi.
The safe In the office of the Standard Oil
company , at the corner of Fourth street
and Sixteenth avenue , was broken open
Sunday night by burglars , who only secured
17 cents and a few freight bills for their
trouble. Entrance to the building was se
cured by breaking open a window. The com
bination of the safe was not set and tbo
burglars could have opened It without going
to the trouble they did. They drilled a hole
through the lock and then broke the lock
off with a sledge hammer. Tbo inner doors
they broke open with a eledge hammer and
cold chisels. The work was most clumsily
done nnd the police bolleve the men were
not professional cracksmen. Tbo tools with
which the safe was broken open were
stolen from Bert Wyman's blacksmith shop
at Fourth street and Tenth avenue. Several
of the tools were found yesterday morning
In the office end In the yard outside.
A clock that was standing on the top of
the safe was found to have stopped at ten
minutes after 10 o'clock Sunday night nnd
It is supposed that this was tbo time that
the safe was broken Into , the jar of the
blows from the sledge hammer stopping the
clock ,
Chris Johnson's shoe storeat 913 Main

"Some of the newspapers seem to misun
derstand the position and wishes of the people

publicans of Cass county are for John H.
Gear and so expressed themselves In county
convention assembled , by the unanimous
adoption of the following resolution :
" 'In the senate of the United States the
Hon. William B. Allison and the Hon. John
H. Gear stand today as the- leaders of lead
ers , over watchful and careful of the In
terests of the state and of its citizens. And ,
wo today most cordially and unreservedly
endorse and commend the course that they
have taken In the past as the able repre
sentatives of the atato In the United States

sire and belief that they may each and
both 'be ' retained and kept there as the high
representatives of this great commonwealth. '

representative , the republicans in conven
tion assembled believing that Mr. Baker was
an honest and honorable man , who would
carry out the wishes of the republicans of
the county as expressed in the above reso
lution , did not feel like reflecting In the
slightest degree upon his honor and integrity
as a man by binding him with a specific
Instruction to vote for Mr. Gear and re
fused to do so , as they felt as though in

necessary. "

The storm of censure in the Iowa press
which broke upon the head of Warden
Hunter of the Anamosa penitentiary on ac
count of the loose censorship exercised upon
the prison paper edited 'by ' Bigamist Curtis
has been renewed with greater intensity.
It Is caused iby the appearance of a few
copies of a slanderous book which Warden
Hunter has allowed Curtis to write , print
and bind in the prison entitled "Five Years
at Anamosa , by the Editor of the Anamosa
Prison Press. " Many of the best citizens
of Jones county , Including the relatives of
the girl ho had wronged there , are

tween M. H. Davis and George W. Bailey ,
both ot Sioux City.
Dr. Kennedy of the State Board of Health
received a telegram this morning notifying
him of a new case of smallpox In Pleasant
Valley township , Scott county. There have
been a number of cases already reported
from Leclalre , In the same county , anil
this case Is supposed to bavo originated
from an exposure to the cases at Leclalre ,
which Is In an adjoining township. One
case was also reported from Iowa City thla
morning. All possible precautions will be
taken to prevent the spreading of the dis
ease. The case In Pleasant Valley town
ship Is that of a farmer , and none ot the

leave the farm , nor will anyone bo allowed
to enter the farm. Of the cases at Le-
olalre , there has not as yet been a single
death , and all the patients are reported as
being on the road to recovery. The same
may be said of the cases In Jones county ,
with the exception of ono death.
SMITH STANDS UP FOR TRUSTS
Dcclnpen the Name a Mlmiomcr nnd
that Combined Arc in Intercut
of Consumer.
WASHINGTON , Juno 12. G. W. Smith of
Now York , president of the Wholesale Gro
cers' association , was the only witness be
fore the Industrial commission today , In
connection with the trust Investigation. Mr.
Smith proved to bo a defender ot the trusts ,
but ho refused to speak of the combinations
of capital by this name. Ho Indeed as
serted that there were no trusts and that
the combinations were so referred to un
justly.
Mr. Smith detailed the organization of the
Wholesale Grocers' association , which oc
curred In 1898. 'Ho ' eald previous to this
combination the wholesale grocers were sell
ing many articles at cost price , Including
sugar , baking ipowder and soap and other
articles of a uniform quality. There was
especial reason to complain of the price of
sugar and the wholesalers had clven espe
cial attention to securing co-operation with
the sugar refiners so as to Insure a small
profit. The American Sugar Refining com
pany then , he said , controlled the manufac
ture of sugar and the wholesalers were able ,
after much consultation , to secure a uni
form rate of 3 15-16 cents per pound , with
the result that all -who did not sell at less
than this price should have a rebate at the
end of three months of 18 % cents on each
100 pounds of sugar purchased. This ar
rangement , said Mr. Smith , had continued
until the present day and had relieved the
grocers of the necessity of selling sugar
at a loss.
Mr. Smith said the erection of refineries
by Arlucklo & Doscher had had the effect
of rendering- prices less certain and that
they were now maintained at all with the
various refineries In the field was due to the
honor and fair dealing of the grocers them
selves.
The witness confessed that he was a
zealous advocate ot the rebate system , con
sidering It afforded the only method of securing -
curing an honest profit on 'business In cer
tain articles. Asserting that there were no
trusts , Mr. Smith said ho had asked five
lawyers to name ono and -they had failed
to do so. As for combinations of capital
they were necessary to do the ( business of
the world , and when any of them should
reach a point at which they were making
excessive profits , competition would spring
up , and thus furnish an antidote for the
only possible evil that might arise from
them. Ho knew that the combination ot the
sugar refineries had resulted In a reaction
of price and itwas also a fact that he was
now able to ibuy thrco or four gallons of
oil with the profit ho formerly made on
one gallon. Ho argued that such combina
tions were In the Interest of the consumer.

Mt'iiilicr ot CuiiinilNxloii.
WASHINGTON , June 12. Tbo president
has taken no notice ot tbo Interview at
tributed to Prof. Lewis Haupt , a member
of the Isthmian Canal commission and pub
lished In the newspapers last Saturday , to
the effect that the whole project of the com
mission was only a scheme to delude pee
ple. Naturally the public expression of
euch a vlow. coming from a person con
nected with the commission was received
with great surprise and Prof. Haupt either
has been or will be Immediately called upon
for a statement. If ho denies the authen
ticity of the Interview , that will be regarded
as sufficient. If he stands by the state
ments made in the Interview , then bo must
leave the commission , for , in the opinion
of the administration , his remaining on tbo
commission would destroy its usefulness and
make Its report valueless. The professor
has already received his commission , but
this can be easily recalled should It be de
cided to make a change.
