' Not Pleased with Philippines.
j. CEDAR FALLS, la., Sept. 4.-(Speclal.)
Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Steele have returned
from, the Philippines, where they went as
teaohers In the public schools two years
ago. They .were both graduates of the
Normal school and went among the -number
who were recommended by President
Seerley. Mr. Steele was at the time secre
tary of th Toung Men's Christian associ
ation of this city and Intended to take up
similar work In that country, but found
the conditions unfavorable. He says the
American sold (era have made matters
worse Instead of better as regards morals.
Many have been discharged from th army
for drunkenness and these have ' besn
thrown on the country without means of
support and no ambition to acquire any.
Many of them .are living in open lewdness
with Philippine women. Thes conditions
make - It very unpleasant for American
women of good morals. Mr. Steele says
.1. Lll'lT
try than he ran there, as before any ad
vance can be made In moral training the
influence for evil exerted by th Americans
thernselves must be counteracted.

CLASH OF AUTHORITY ON FREIGHT RATES
Way It la 'Settled Mean, n Dlfferene
of Forty Per Cent to Shipper
tm Son Town la north
ern, Iowa.
(From a Staff Correspondent) ,
DES MOINES, Sept. 4. (Special.) Atten
tion of the republican state committee waa
called today to. various party troubles In
tho state and the committee will try to
effect some compromise to prevent defeat
of republican candidates. Today B. F.
Robinson of Eathervlllo presented to Chair
man Spence the matter of th double nom
ination in th Emmet-Dlcktnson representa
tive district Mr. Robinson was nominated
and on Thursday filed his papers with the
secretary of state In due form. Today
the nomination papers of Dr. Q. C. Fuller
of Mliford were also filed. The convention
divided and two' nominations were made.
Both claim the right to go on the ticket
In regular form. No matter which Is ac
corded the right It is. certain there will be
two republican candidates in the field.
However, there are about six republican
votes to one democrat in the district and
this will assure the selection of a repub
lican. Th trouble In th Bremer-Butler
senatorial district also cam up. Informa
tion was received to the effect that the
nomination of N. II. Larkin was mads by
blind ballot against the protest of E. H.
Boesbe, the rival candidate. Two of Soesbe's
delegates deserted him, but afterwards the
entire Butler county delegation of thir
teen made affidavit that each and every
one voted for Soesbe and the tellers swear
they counted it right. Threats ar. mad.
that the friends of Soesbe will bolt th.
ticket and help elect John Wade of Park
ersburg, brother of Congressman Wade.
There Is also a complicated situation In
Hardin county that forebodes trouble.
Chairman Spence has now opened head
quarters and expects to remain perma
nently In charge of the work.
' Kerr Deal la Railroad Ratea.
The Interstate Commerce commission has
apparently plashed with the State Rail
road commission and the state and federal
supreme courts and started a controversy
that Is likely to become notable. Th evi
dence has come from W. C. Staley, traffic
manager for the National Grocery com
pany. In an Inquiry of the state commis
sion. He states that th Chicago ft North
western Railroad company has given notice
that on traffic from Mason City to Dolllver,
Burt and other points on the Algona branch
the Interstate rates will be applied Instead
of the rates of the Iowa classification.
The business is routed by way of Blue
Earth, Minn., and th. company claims the
right to treat this as other than state
traffic. The Iowa commission has held
that a shipment from one point In Iowa to
another point in Iowa, no matter how It
Is routed, Is strictly state business, and
the Iowa and United States courts have
upheld this position. Secretary Lewis has
written to this effect to th grocery com
pany. It is learned on the side that th.
Interstate Commerce commission has re
cently given th. Northwestern a ruling to
the contrary and acting on this the Iowa
rates wer. withdrawn on business that for
a part of the route Is outside th. state.
In northern Iowa this .increases the rates
over the former rates as much as 40 per
cent In some cases. It is an entire new
policy for the company and the state com
mission will Insist that the policy hereto
fore followed shall be adhered to.
Campaign Slanders In Conrt.
An echo of certain red-hot campaign at
tacks In Iowa county two years ago has
Just reached the Tni. utnim. xr
R. Prewtti. editor of the Victor Index, sued
John E. Wilson. H. C. Denn, John Morri
son. D. H. McGwire, c. Paeper, J. J.
Bourkl and S. W. Nicholson for $10,000
damages. In district court at Marengo
Judge Burnham directed a verdict for the
defendants on the ground that In their af
fidavit they circulated In the campaign
they made no alleged statement of fact,
but merely expressed an opinion, and an
opinion was not libelous. He also indicated
that the supreme court had never given any
directions on thla point. The case is an
pealed to find out whether an affidavit of
impeachment Is libelous In lows.
Saved Honey for the Stnte.
At tha meeting of the exposition commis
sion this week If waa brought out that the
plan adopted by th. Iowa commission of
getting the Iowa building done before the
rush came for other work at Bt. Ixiuls had
unquestionably been the means of saving
the state a great deal of money on the
building. The contract was let last Feb
ruary and at a price that could not be
secured now by several thousand dollars.
The contractor was able to do the work
leisurely and chiefly with labor eaken from
lowa. Other states are finding that in the
rush prices are put up high on everything
In the matter of plumbing the commission
was fortunate in that It found a big con
tractor with workmen standing Idle wait
ing for something to do and the plumbing
was secured at coat. It Is estimated that
the state saved from tS.OOrt to $10,000 by the
promptness of th commission In acting.
llh the secretary of state today there
was filed the articles of Incorporation of
the Goodell Creamery company of Han
cock county, capital $3,500; by A. Ander
