COSSON IN CHURCH CAMPAIGN
Candidate for Attorney General of
Iowa Speaks at Cedar Eapids.
WILSON KUM0RS STILL PERSIST
Reported Iowa Senators Have Beoa
Given to Understand Secretary
Will Bo Retired for
Younger Man.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Jan. B. (Special.) Sena
tor George Cos son, special counsel for the
state and candidate for attorney general,
went to Cedar Rapids today and this even
ing spoke in the Presbyterian church, de
livering a somewhat notable address on
law enforcement, the moral element. In leg
islation and the general uplift movement
Senator CosBon Is tha author of a series
of new laws for the purpose of securing
better enforcement of the laws of the
state and especially those relating to moral
questions. He Is recognised as on of tha
foremost advocates of a strict enforcement
of all laws.
Senator Cosson referred to tha legisla
tion and called attention to tba fact that
the state of Iowa Is perhaps tha first state
of the union to undertake to absolutely
forbid and drive out of existence the social
evil and banish all "red light" districts
and under this new law there is not a
place ot that kind left In the state. He
referred to the laws which place direct
responsibility upon the law enforcing offi
cers of the state for enforcement of law.
Referring to the duty of tha official to
enforce laws and to obey all laws, ba
said:
"No man lo qualified, no man Is fit,
to hold publlo office who does not care
more for the principles ba maintains than
he does for receiving tha offloe, and If he
once obtains office he Is not fit to ba re
tained unless his desire to properly dis
charge the duties of bis office Is far
greater than his desire to hold office."
He insisted thrt In the present time there
ia work for the church and tor church
people in politics for there is great need
of consideration of moral Issues In relation
to the state and nation.
Packers and Iowa Rates.
A brief for the railroads has been pre
pared and published In the state In the
matter of the railroad rates on hogs, in
which it is shown that the real reason the
railroads raised the rates on hogs to
eastern points is that they desired to save
the small packing business in Iowa. It- Is
pointed out that at least 16 per cent of
the Iowa Jio8" sent to market are actually
killed in Iowa, chlifly at two or ' three
points, and that It was the desire to save
this business that led the railroads to so
strenuously oppose any discrimination in
favor of the eastern cities. ! ;
Rumors mm to Wlleon.
There la still a great deal of Interest
manifest in Iowa In regard to the future
of Secretary Wilson. In political olrcles
the rumor is persistent that It has been
virtually decided that a younger and more
acUve man shall take his place In the cab
inet, and that an Ohio man ia almost cer
tain to get the place. "At the same time
It is leaking out that while the Iowa sen
ators have been very insistent all the time
that he be retained, .they have received In
formation which leads them to believe that
the retirement of Wilson Is not far distant.
Canvassing tbe Districts.
There l much canvassing of the con
gressional districts of Iowa to find out
where this or that candidate is going to
light at the finish. It Is known that In the
Seventh, Eighth and Ninth districts tna
friends of candidates aro busy making m
nniiHAR imam their friends to find out
what may be expected on primary day next
June. This results in a series of contra
dictions. It is found that In some localities
sentiment Is all one way, while not fax
away It Is entirely Different. Some of the
candidates receive reports that In certain
ommunltlea there has been on immense
change In sentiment and in others there
has been none and no Interest is taken.
One of the congressional candidates in
southern Iowa who has been out in the
country reports that never before has -be
found at this time of the year such a tend
ency for school bouse discussion of big po
litical matters.

LOGAN Crawford county Is planning to
erect a new county home, the structure to
cost somewhere near $20,000. The county
owns a farm near Arlon of 240 acres, but a
few years ago the house burned down and
since then the county's poor have ben
kept In other county homes at an expense
of nearly 110,000 per year. It la proposed
that tha county sell a part of the form,
leaving but 160 acres, which Is thought
ample, and use the proceeds In making the
new home fireproof and sanitary In every
way. Several years ago this same ques
tion waa agitated, but at that time the tax
payers were burdened by the new court
house taxation and no action was taken
then. It Is believed the project will be
supported now.
Dreadnoughts
for Argentine
to Be Built Here
United States Yard Capture Two Big
Contracts in Competition with
European Yards.
WASHINGTON. Jon. 23. United States
shipyards have won a notable victory
against their European competitors In se
curing the contracts for the building of
two battleships of tha "Dreadnought"
type for the Argentine government Thla
victory, however, come through the direct
and unceasing efforts of the State depart
ment acting through the lately established
Latin-American bureau.
From a commercial standpoint the suc
cess of the department In securing these
contracts Is of the highest consequence,
and is said to establish the fact that little
credence can be placed In the published
reports to the effect that the attitude of
the United States toward Nicaragua has
cost this government the friendship of thn
South and Central Americ-n states.
The matter had been In active negotia
tions during the lost nine' months and thn
final , results will bd the expen
diture' In the United States for thwo
two ships of a total of $22,000,000. Tho
contract is given Into the Fore River com
pany, with permission to build, one of the
ships In the New York Shipbuilding com
pany's yards. This Is the first contract
of magnitude thai has ever been mode by
a South American government with Amer
ican ship builders. The -two battleships
will be of 28,000 tons of Wenty-two and
one-half knots speed,' with twelve-men,

Taft Has Tilt v
With Tillman
President and Senator Clash in Good
Matured Discussion of the
Army.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 23.-President Toft
and Senator Tillman clashed In a good
natured discussion of the merits of the per
sonnel of the army in Cuba and In the
Philippines tonight at the annual banquet
of the Military Order of the Caraboo.
The dinner was a private affair and the
army men and' their guests were loath to
discuss Just what was sold, but It waa
learned that the South Carolina senator
spoke in a characteristic vein and made
some pointed criticisms of the army. He
realized, as he told the president after
wards, that he waa touching Mr. Taft on
a sore spot and the president seemed to
understand that he was Just doing It for
the purpose of "stirring him up," for ho
said so in his reply, and while vigorously
defending the army, he passed off the wholn
matter as a Joke.
President Taft In his address said:
. "My friend, the distinguished senator from
South Carolina, I have known well, have
been glad to know, have been honored by
his friendship, and I want to 'assure you
that he Is a good deal better fellow than
you sometimes think, from what he says.
He Is not always one who sits and talks,
thinking about the race .question and mis
cegf nation and amalgamation and that sort
of thing. He does have ether thoughts,
but when he gets on his. feet, and starts
on that slippery subject It -requires a good
deal of force, or a good deal of poise, to
keep him from going further than he really
wanted to go 'himself.
"He Buys that wo are going to annex
Cuba. Well, I don't think so. Ho think
that because the Cubans have a race ques
tion we have got to mix their race ques
tion with our race question and have a
sort of mlxup, with sulphur rising from It
that is going to consume the world. I
don't believe that I don't believe the
senator does, except as these words roll
from his Hps, and they have rolled from
his Hps now since 1899 on the senate floor
and from the stump. They have never
accomplished anything In tha election and
yet he cannot get over it"

In Gang,
ST. LOUTS, Jan. . Offlclala who are
leading the pursuit of the outlaws who
held up and robbed a Missouri Pacific train
near Eureka, Mo., last night announced
late tonight that they have obtained a
admission from a young woman living near
the soeno of the robbery that her sweet
heart was one of the robbers. '
She also Is reported as having disclosed
the hiding place of the men. In a remote
section of St. Louis county.
The 200 men In the posses pursuing the
bandits are now surrounding the supposed
hiding place and expect to land their quarry
there.
A close watch Is being keptttT'thls city,
however, as It is known that the' men
started toward St Louts Immediately after
tha holdup.
Tha officials also announced tonight that
a farmer who witnessed the holdup from
the roadside says there were but three men
In the gang-, and not four, as persons on the
train claim.
Earlier clews,, which developed In the
search for tha men, who It Is believed
obtained $10,000 by cutting open sixteen
mall pouches, show a boat In which the
bandits may have floated down the Mera
mec river to a point convenient to St Lou!s,
was stolen Friday night A few miles from
the scene of the robbery, and the blood
hounds took up a trail which led towards
this olty. The theory was advanced the
robbers may have used an automobile in
escaping with their booty. One of the men
was an experienced railroad engineer. The
local police are looking for this man, as
his description Is known.
Rewards aggregating $7,200 were offered
today for tho arrest and conviction of the
outlaws, Governor Hadlsy offered the
mi xlmum which the state allows, $300 for
each man, the Missouri Pacific railway
$300 for each man and the United States
postofflce Inspection department $1,000 for
the taking of the men dead or olive.
Postofflce Inspector W. W. Dickson an
nounced the loot of the bandits may amount
to $10,000. A check on the registered mall
pouches was in progress tonight, but It la
uncertain when the amount stolen will be
known definitely.
A man was arrested In the city today as
a suspect. He denied being implicated, in
the robbery.
The safe in the express car, which the
robbers failed to open, contained $90 In
cash and valuables.
