IOWA IW THK TAFT COLUU11.
Iowa republicans have now formally
lined themselves up in the Taft eol
,jT,Ts vlthcut any "ifs" or "sr5 "
As a matter of fact, there was never
sny more .question as to whom the
rank and fil6 of the republicans of
the Hawkeye state would favor as
the successor to President Roosevelt
than there was as to who would be
favored by the rank and file of Ne
braska republicans. The whole trahs
mlssisslppi country, of which Iowa and
Nebraska are particularly typical, has
furnished the ataunchest and most
vigorous support to what are known
as the Roosevelt policies, and these
western states are thoroughly insis
tent upon a continuance of these
policies In national administration and
legislation under the guidance of the
man best Qualified by experience and
ability to take up the reins when
President Roosevelt relinquishes
them. ; The growing power of the west
has become the potent force in our
national lawmaking and will play an
equally Important part in the work
of the great nominating conventions.
Iowa republicans in their platform
resolutions have' wisely followed the
example set by Nebraska republicans
in confining their pronouncements to
a few salient points and emphasizing
its record of achievement : as "the
large asset of the republican party."
In endorsing the tariff plank, formu
lated by the republicans of Ohio; the
Iowa convention has taken a most
significant step in view of the fact
that a large majority of the delegates
were so-called "stand-patters" and
that this question had been the only
salient Issue between the factions in
the preliminary contest for control.
The resolution of . endorsement of
Senator Allison, together with the
declaration in favor of his re-election,
will be gratifying to the friends of
the 'senator everywhere. While this
endorsement Is in no way conclusive
upon the vote of preference which Is
to be registered at a primary in June
to determine who shall be the repub
lican candidate for senator, it evi
dences the prevailing feeling that Sen
ator Allison's long and distinguished
services to state and nation entitle
him to special consideration and that
the demand for his compulsory retire
ment has not met with favorable
response.
HARRY ORCHARD'S SKNTtSCX.
Two objections naturally suggest
themselves to the layman to Judge
Wood's sentence of Ifjirry Orchard to
death, with a recommendation of
clemency, on his plea of guilty of hav
ing assassinated former Governor
Steunenberg of Idaho. If Orchard told
the truth when he confessed, and as
Judge Wood professes to believe he
should pay the penalty to the utmost
limit of the law. It his confessions
were distorted by personal spite, he
should be punished to the extreme for
his attempt to swear away the lives
of innocent men.
Judge Wood's redmmendatlon of
clemency certainly lenda color to the
charge made In the Haywood and Pet-
tlbone trials that Orchard had been
promised immunity if he would turn
states evidence. While this charge
was denied with much emphasis dur
ing the former trials, this apparent
move of the court to come to the re
lief of Orchard will surely tend to
strengthen the suspicion that Orchard
was assured in advance the benefit of
the turncoat.
In summing up . the . case, Judge
Wood makes his recommendations for
clemency for Orchard - appear , some
what ridiculous by reviewing the
criminal career of the man. covering
many years and including "a long
series of the most atrocious crimes
committed by himself." Of course,
Orchard was not on trial for any of
the acts of homicide which apparently
formed his pastime, except for the
murder of Steunenberg, but his free,
if not boastful., confession of many
murders mark him as a man dan
gerous to society who should on gen
eral principles be made forever inca
pable of committing further crime.
America's dvty iar haytl
Americans generally do not take
kindly to participation In the troubled
affairs of countries like Haytl, Santo
Domingo, Venezuela and other Latin-
American republics almost contin
uously in international hot water, but
commendation will not be withheld
from the president for his prompt
ness in dispatching a battleship to
Haytl to protect our interests in that
island. Haytl is experiencing a re
vival of the revolutionary spirit which
has been more or. leas active in the
country for nearly a century. The
president of the black republic has
caused the public execution of a dozen
or more leaders against the govern
ment, and Germany. France and Eng
land have hurried warships to Port-au-Prince
to guard their subjects, and
under the circumstances, (disagreeable
as the duty may be, nothing remained
for this government but to see that
American citizens in Ilaytl are prop
erly protected.
The situation In Haytl is one likely to
lead to serious International complica
tions. For nearly fifty years It has
been a republic, at least i& name,
which civil war now threatens to
disrupt. Nearly every great power in
the world has interests in Haytl and
each feels the necessity of safeguard
ing its citizens in their rights. ' , The
prisons are crowded and all suspects
arrested are either executed or placed
in Irons. Some persons in high places
have sought refuge in the foreign leg
ations and fear is entertained that the
jitTtfA ji&Uvi sol diets may begin
a slaughter of foreigners. The trouble,
so far as has been ascertained, Is
really a war between the blacks and
the mulatto of tha reoubllc. The
blacks constitute nine-tenths of the
native population and they are die
posed to make a racial war for the
extermination of all mnlattoes.
The position of the American gov
ernment Is awkward at best, inasmuch
as the sound reasons which led Presi
dent Roosevelt to take charge of the
affairs of Santo Domingo do not ap
pear in Hayti's case. In the Santo
Domingo case, the foreign nations
were threatening the republic on ac
count of nonpayment of debts. The
president placed a naval officer in
charge, reorganized the finances and
has really placed the government on
a firm basis, all In pursuance of the
Monroe doctrine. In the present
case the government has no con
ceded right to Intervene in a race
war, except to protect the interests of
Americans in the country. Our gov
ernment has no warrant to interefere
In the autonomy of Haytl, yet at the
same time It can not permit a state
of anarchy to prevail. If we should
not see to it that law and order are
restored in Haytl, some European
power might undertake that task, and
as Haytl la clearly within what for
eign powers recognize as the Ameri
can "sphere of Influence in the Carib
bean," the duty of acting as police
man for the troubled republic may be
expected to devolve upon the United
States.
FARIKO THE MILITARY BUDGET.
While the country will naturally
approve efforts of the appropriation
committers to keep the expenses of the
government within reasonable limits,
It Is doubtful If the reasons offered by
the committee of the house for cutting
the army appropriation bill will be ac
cepted in good spirit. The War de
partment asked for $38,000,000 for
the Improvements of fortifications and
coast defenses. About one-half of the
requested amount was to be used on
fortifications In Hawaii and Manila.
Experts of the department have
pointed out the urgent need of these
expenditures, In order to place the out
posts of the nation in proper shape tor
self-defense. The appropriations com
mittee of the house, in reducing this
appropriation from $38,000,000 to
$8,000,000, explains that so large an
appropriation at this time might be
construed by Japan as a defiance.
The fortifications requested by the
War department may or may not be
essential to public safety and the
economy exercised by the committee
may be generally commendable, but
tender regard for the feelings of Japan
has nothing to do with the case. It
Is. far from necessary for us to consult
the wishes of any other nation' before
undertaking Improvements of our mili
tary service. The committee would
have appeared in a much better light
if It had simply made the cut In the
fortifications appropriation on the
score of economy.
.1JT ABUSE REbUKED.
The request of the family of the late
William P. Whyte, United States sen
ator from Maryland, that the senate
take no official part in the funeral of
the deceased member must be con
strued only as a rebuke to the abuses
that have too often followed congres
sional participation in funerals. The
custom for years has been, upon the
death of a member of congress, for
both houses to appoint committees to
attend the funeral. Once appointed,
these committees are chaperoned by
the sergeant-at-arms of the senate or
the house. Usually a special car is
secured for the funeral party and the
popularity of the sergeant-at-arms In
each house is largely measured by his
thoughtfulness in providing for the
comforts of the mourners. On occa
sions these supposedly sorrowful Jour
neys have been turned into junkets
and some of them have resulted In
open scandal. The government foots
the bills and the members of congress
disposed to deny themselves a good
time at the federal expense are not
usually selected for funeral parties.
It would be better for all concerned
If the funeral Junkets were perma
nently abandoned by congress.
The newest manifestation of the
color line in the south, which has led
to Jim Crow cars, separate waiting
rooms and street railway restrictions,
comes from the Oklahoma legislature,
for which Colonel Bryan Is the patron
saint, and where it is now proposed
by law to require separate telephone
booths for whites and blacks. Demo
cratic organs and orators in the north
will continue to tell the negroes that
they should avenge their wrongs by
refusing to vote the republican ticket.
Senator La Follette's list of ninety
seven men who. in his opinion, have

Is on the map and contributes some
of the power that rules the world.
When ' asked for an expression on
the conviction of the state house graft
ers, former Governor Pennypacker of
Pennsylvania replied: "I am not
thinking for publication." Remem
bering how the treasury was looted
under his very eyes, the words "for
publication" In the governor's reply
appear superfluous.
Anarchists propose to build a public
hall in Chicago. The very project
contemplates organization; rules and
observance of the law contrary to the
cardinal principles of anarchy. The
scheme might be well encouraged, as
the anarchtst usually ceases to be an
anarchist as soon as he becomes a
property owner.
For some reason or other members
of the Real Estate exchange are not
the only people who have got
ten the idea that the Auditorium
association la "a sort of close cor
poration." The Auditorium is the
outgrowth of a popular movement,
and while the sinews of war and the
real work have been furnished by a
few, the popular origin should not
be lost sight of. All these public un
dertakings ought at alU times to be
completely open to the lime-light of
publicity and, if kept so, they will
seldom lose public confidence.
Europe wants the United States to
return that $100,000,000 in gold

sell us more than we sell abroad to
get the yellow tide turned the other
way.

A shrewd nxrvy youn mmn of Waahlns-.
ton, answering to the name Bleber and jos
aesslng a bunch of tax titles handed down
to him by his father, came mighty close to
securing from congress a deed to the navy
yard, the Insane asylum and other federal

trict f Columbia. The property In ques
tion included some of the Potomlc flats.
on which congrees spent 12,000,000 in dredg
Ing, using the dredged soli to fill the low
lands. The Improvements carried on by the
government enhanced the value of the land
enormously, and as Bk-ber looked over his
tax titles visions of great wealth spurred
his energies. Two years ago he persuaded
congress to remove the "cloud" from his
title to five squares of the made land. But
he wasn't satisfied. lie wanted made land
aa fast as the government made It, Some
of the foxy senators balked, so Bleber
hypnotised a house committee and his
scheme went through both houses, sand
wiched In a rubber-tired bltl entitled "A
bill to limit the cost on certain publlo
buildings." It directed the secretary of
war to Issue a deed to Bleber. Secretary
Taft Investigated, held up the deed, re
ported to congress and an explosion fol
lowed. The act of 1906 was repealed. But
(Mf. Sidney Bleber still has some tflx

Fifteen thousand pounds of high-grade
bonbons were shipped to the supply ship.
the Culgoa, of Admiral Evans' fleet early
In the great voyage to Magdalena Bay. But
this amount of candy was not regarded by
naval men as at all excessive. In the sep
arata canteens of the battle ships there
was probably a much greater quantity of
bonbons. The Culgoa's 15,000 pounds was
an extra lot taken as a precaution against
exhausted stocks of a necessity of life in
the various ships. The attitude toward
candy has changed in late years. It is no
longer thought childish or effeminate to
eat bonbons.

Wu Ting-fang, beloved of vanity fair,

cards and there were congratulatory let
ters and telegrams from distant friends.
Only a few minor diplomats remain of the
former associates of the wily Wu, and of
the cabinet officials there is but Mr. Root
to welcome him with the privilege of long
standing friendship. But Mr. Wu has been
visited and feted by his friends In the
legislative world and they found him fairly
seething with questions. Senator Burrows,
who was once his neighbor, and Sereno
pivm called to renew the old ties, and
naturally they wanted to talk over the

on howChlna and Japan stand In the con
troversy whloh is Interesting th,e world. No
one had ever yet succeeded in pumping Wu
successfully and his five years' experience
at Peking do not appear to have lessened
his secretlveness. Mr. Payne would lead
in tn the charee about that ship inciaent
and Just as gracefully would Mr. Wu parry

early summer. "Who will be your next
nrMlit.nt?" has been the burden or nis
song since he reached Washington, and the
replies made by the different politicians
are carefully noted and laid away. "Why
talk about the east?" he said to Senator
Burrows, blandly, "when there Is so much
that Is fascinating in your own political
.it.tinn Tell me. who will you vote for?"
he asked Mr. Payne, when that statesman
became too persistent about Chinese tarirr
and the application of certain phases of the

Vonr beans are baked in home oven. . .
The heat at the maximum is 200 degrees. In the center
of the baking- dish, by actual test, It is 100 degrees.
That is far from sufficient to break down the fibre of,
beans. To separate the atoms so the digestive juices can
get to them.
The result is a heavy food, hard to digest.
Yon bake in dry heat. The result is, the top beans are
crisped. The others are not even half baked.
You burst the skins, so the beans are not nutty. They
are mushy, not mealy. Every bean should be whole.
Then you add the tomato sauce afterwards.- .
You spend hours in the process, but the dish that results
is neither good nor good for you.
Yet it isn't your fault. You simply lack the facilities.

Our ovens are heated to 245 degrees, and we bake the

We bake in live steam, so all beans are baked alike.
None are browned, none are broken. The beans are baked
until they are mealy ; yet they are nutty, because they are
whole. ' '
Then we bake the beans, the tomato sauce and the pork
all together. Thus we get our delicious blend.
Our beans come to you ready to serve. No work and no
waiting. Simply heat the can in hot water then open.
The bean's are as fresh and as savory as when they came
out of our ovens.
That is why we say, let us cook for you.
All people like Van Camp's better than home-baked
beans. They are far better for you. And Van Camp's are
always ready.

Beans are Nature's choicest food. They are 23 per cent
nitrogenous 84 per cent nutriment. Even more nutritious
than wheat. .-."'.
Beans and meat have about the same food value, about
the same heartiness. One easily takes the place of the
other. But note what a difference there is in the cost.
Think what-you would save on your meat bills if you
served beans once a day. And think of the saving in labor.
Your people will want Van Camp's every day when they
know them. Try a few cans and see.

PARASITES THAT SAP LIFE
EXPELLED BY NEW R2ETH0D
The Interest created In leading cities
during the past year by the young Mr.
Cooper with hla new preparation. Is largely
counted for by a peculiar auallty pos
sessed by this medicine, which he calls his
New Discovery:
Mr. Cooper believes than internal par
asites, or tapewarma, are responsible for
much 111 health,' and it is an undoubted
faot that bis medicine has expelled im
mense numbers of these creatures in var
ious cities visited by him. The young
man also believes that stomach trouble
ts the main cause of all ill health. He
claims that Sew can have poor health
with a good digestion. He further claims
that his New Discovery medicine does
nothing but tone up the stomach, yet it
not only expels the parasites, but relieves
many other ailments not as a rule asso
ciated with stomach trouble.
Little Jessie Blrdsall, daughter of Mrs.
Ida Blrdsall, living at 2118 Carroll Avenue,
Chicago, is among many relieved of a
parge parasite by Mr. Cooper's prepara
tion during his stay in' that city. la
speaking of the matter to Mr. Cooper, the
mother said: "My child Jessie, who Is

RUSHING TUB SEASON.
Detroit Free Press.
Yesterday Alice gazed out of her window
And noticed the roadway with sunlight
ablaxe;
The blue of the skies was as bright as her
eyes,
And she said: "Spring Is here with her
wonderful days.
So bless me.
I'll dress me. .
In costume befitiijig the advent of spring:
I will don.
I'll put on
My pnek-a-boo waist and my furs I will
fling."
This she did, for, the truth must ba
told.
This morning fair Alloc Is down with a
cold.
Yesterdy Alice arose bright and early
And noticed the sunbeams that danced all
about: i
The birds' merry clatter her heart made
to patter.
She said, "I'll look swell when today I
go out,
Hooray! Now here goes.
For my open-work hose.
My Oxfords of taa without rubbers
I'll wear.
Though mother may sooff,
My heavies I'll doff
And go for a stroll while the weather Is
fair," i
This she did and, of course, all the
truth must be said,
Today her ' blue eyes are most woe
fully red.
Today Alice speaks with a thick, foggy
accent,
So cloudy her voice, which was clear as
a bell;
She gurgles and sputters,' each word that
she utters
Proclaims the sad fate that to Alice befell.
"I'b got a bad cold, . .
I'b a sight to behold,
She murmurs, "my head is stuffed ujb,
cab't talk; . .
I'b bot sure the way
I got it, I say.
But I thlk that I caught It While oubt for
a walk,"
So she says, but her waist and her open
work hose
Have gone bark on the shelf till the May
blossoms blows. ' 1 '

ing anything else, when we began to read
of Cooper's New Discovery. Several days
ago we purchased this medicine. Jessie
has been using it regularly, and this morn
ing this parasite left her system. I don't
wonder that she has always felt bad. and
nothing we would give her ooemed to re
lieve her. Now that she is relieved of this
tapeworm I feel sura that she will grow
better each day, and enjoy perfect health.
Mr. Cooper, your medicine is worth a
thousand tiroes more than you charge for
It. I know of a number of people troubled
the same way as Jessie has been, and I
certainly expect to tell them personally te
try your medicine."
We would advise anyone who has been
troubled for some time with general poor
health to try this great medicine. W
