E. at the district conference at Mt. Pleasant last week. It is full of good thoughts and suggestions and should be read very careful. For some reason we did not receive a report of the Iowa Federation of Afro-American Women's convention until this week, and yet the former president selected a person to send us he report; hence you will know why it has not been published ere this time.

Has Senator Dolliver been fair or has he just heard of the Iowa idea? Slander is the keenest dagger that any of the agents of the devil can use. Bishop Turner of the A. M. E. church now claims that God never made a white man and that the first men were dark in their complexion. We trust that he will be able to convince some of our white friends of this fact, so that they will remember their ancestors and treat them more kindly. The war in the far east will soon be of but little interest to a Des Moines citizen. We are having wars of our own; war between the waiters and their employers, war between the aldermen and some of the city officials, now the sound of the coming war between the professional bondsmen which will include the justices and jailors; and still the elements are unsettled. A NEW EDITOR. Lawrence Jones is now editor of the Chicago Conservator. As we are personally acquainted with Mr. Jones and know him to be a wide awake; energetic young business man, and it is not likely that even if he does not admire all the advice given by our leaders that he will begin a tirade against them as the former editor, D. R. Wilkins has been doing. The latter says he is going "to take a much needed rest and vacation before he enters in active business again." Chicago is one of the best cities for a good newspaper, owing to its location and population, and Bro. Jones we hope you will make good use of your pen. We wish you success in the newspaper work. IOWA UNIVERSITY. For sometime the papers have been full of matter concerning the university at Iowa City, and the friends of the university have been divided upon the settlement of the matter, and therefore have been waiting for the investigation by the board of regents to find out the real cause of the trouble, and settle it in such a manner as to put the school on the high road to success. The question will now arise upon the resolution adopted by the board of regents, after an investigation. We will agree that the board has had some very embarrassing, as well as complicated, matters to deal with, but this board is composed of able men, men who should have no other purpose than the best interest of the school to serve, and if they believe that the passing of the resolution will not smother over or cover up the real cause that will hurt the school, if such disagreeable conduct is not stopped. We are quite sure that the right action on the part of the board is all that the tax payers want. The people of the state are willing to support a school that in scholarship will stand second to none. While the board has declined to state the real cause; we trust that their actions has removed every thing that will prevent the school from keeping step with other great universities. UNITED GRAND LODGE OF IOWA, A. F. & A. M. The M. W. U. Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. M., for the state of Iowa and its Masonic Jurisdiction will hold its seventeenth annual session in the city of Omaha, Neb., July 12-15.

ROOSEVELT & FAIRBANKS are chosen as the standard bearers of the republican party and with a platform that all American citizens can stand on. While the issues that the platform contains means much to the great republican party, yet the men who are to lead the party to success means vastly more. Mr. Roosevelt has proven that he is a statesman, and has fearlessly met every issue that has come before the American people. We as a part of the party can indorse him on his position toward K. OF P.

CONSUMPTION OUTLINE OF PARTY POLICY Secretary of War Root Addresses Delegates as Temporary Chairman of Republican National Convention Regulation of the Trusts. J. B. At the opening day of the national Republican convention at Chicago advanced the streets took on an appearance bordering upon activity. Bands played in front of the Auditorium and other convention headquarters. Party leaders who had nothing to do but wait for the hour of assembly filled the lobbies and visited at the rooms of the various important delegations. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, stated for the chairmanship of the committee on resolutions, decided to appoint as members of the subcommittee to draft the platform Senator Spooner of Wisconsin and J. W. Blythe of Iowa. The first applause to the incoming delegates was a ripple of handclaps from the gallery given to Senator Allison of Iowa. Senator Dolliver of Iowa stammered down the center aisle shortly after Senator Allison had taken his seat, and the men in the gallery from Iowa broke out into applause the second time. Senator Allison acknowledged his reception with a smile and a bow, but the junior senator apparently did not realize that he was being honored, for he turned his back upon his friends in the gallery while they were still applauding him, and walked slowly back to the seats in the Iowa section. The convention was called to order by Acting Chairman Henry C. Payne of the national committee. An eloquent prayer by the Rev. Timothy P. Prost followed. Then Temporary Chairman Elihu Root of New York, was introduced and addressed the convention. His speech in part was as follows: The responsibility of government rests upon the Republican party. The practical governing instinct of ELIHU our people has adapted the machinery devised in the eighteenth to the conditions of the twentieth century by the organization of national political parties. In them men join for the promotion of a few cardinal principles upon which they agree. The people by their choice of candidates indicate the principles and methods which they wish followed in the conduct of their government. When the course of the next administration is but half done the Republican party will have completed the first half century of its national life. With the platform and the candidates of this convention we are about to ask a renewed expression of popular confidence in the Republican party. We shall ask it because the unbroken record of the Republican party in the past is an assurance of the sincerity of our declarations and the fidelity with which we shall give them effect. Because we have been constant in principle, loyal to our beliefs and faithful to our promises, we are entitled to be believed and trusted now. We shall ask it because the character of the party gives assurance of good government. We do not deny that other parties have in their membership men of morality and patriotism, but we assert with confidence that above all others, by the influences which gave it birth GREAT IN PARTY SERVICE. Some of the Prominent Living and Dead Republicans. The fourth Republican national convention to be held in Chicago within the last quarter of a century has just ended. It is twenty-four years from the convention of 1880 to the convention of 1904. Many of those most active in the convention of twenty-four years ago are dead. Others have retired from political or public life. Yet there were among the delegates who answered to roll call a few who were conspicuous in the convention of 1880, and more than a few who answered to roll call in 1884 and 1888. Powell Clayton, Henry Cabot Lodge, Thomas C. Platt are among those who were delegates in 1880. In that year the delegates at large from New York were Roscoe Conkling, J. W. Hoysradt, Chester A. Arthur and J. D. Warren, but no man in the delegation was more active than Thomas C. Platt, from the Twenty-eighth district. The delegates-at-large from Pennsylvania were Matthew S. Quay, James Mc- and have maintained its life, by the causes for which it has striven, the ideals which it has followed, the Republican party as a party has acquired a character which makes its ascendancy the best guarantee of a government loyal to principle and effective in execution. "We shall ask the continued confidence of the people because the candidates whom we present are of proved competency and patriotism, fitted to fill the offices for which they are nominated to the credit and honor of our country. We shall ask it because the present policies of our government are beneficial and ought not to be set aside; and the people's business is being well done and ought not to be interfered with. Have we not had an effective government? Have not the laws been enforced? Has not the slow process of legislative discussion upon many serious questions been brought to practical conclusions embodied in beneficial statutes? And has not the Executive proceeded without vacitation or weakness to give these effect? Are not the laws of the United States obeyed at home? And does not our government command respect and honor throughout the world? Have we not had a safe and conservative government? Has not property been protected? Are not the fruits of enterprise and industry secure? What safeguard of the Constitution for vested right or individual freedom has not been scrupulously observed? When has any American administration ever dealt more considerably or wisely with questions which might have been the cause of conflict with foreign powers? When have I POOT more just settlements been reached by peaceful means? When has any administration wielded a more powerful influence for peace and when have we rested more secure in friendship with all mankind? Four years ago the regulation by law of the great corporate combinations called "trusts" stood substantially where it was when the Sherman anti-trust act of 1890 was passed. At every election, the regulation of trusts had been the football of campaign oratory and the subject of many insincere declarations. Our Republican administration has taken up the subject in a practical, sensible way as a business rather than a political question, saying what it really means, and doing what lay at its hand to be done to accomplish effective regulation. After long consideration, Congress passed three practical statutes: On February 11, 1903, an act to expedite hearings in suits in enforcement of the anti-trust act; on February 14, 1903, the act creating a new Department of Commerce and Labor with a Bureau of Corporations, having authority to secure systematic information regarding the organization and operation of corporations engaged in interstate commerce; and on February 19, 1903, an act enlarging the powers of the Interstate Commerce Commission and of the courts, to deal with secret rebates in transportation charges, which are the chief means by which the trusts crush out their smaller competitors. The attorney general has gone on Manes, J. H. Brown and C. L. Magee, but the man of the delegation most in evidence was J. Donald Cameron of the Fourteenth district. John A. Logan, E. A. Storrs, Green B. Raum, and D. L. Tittler headed the Illinois delegation, and William Dennison, James A. Garfield, Charles Foster and Warner M. Bateman the Ohio delegation. Benjamin Harrison was at the head of the Indiana delegation, G. F. Hofer of the Massachusetts, and Eugene Hale of the Maine. Of the Ohio "big four" of 1880 all are dead; of the Illinois delegates-at-large Gen. Raun is the only survivor. From the delegates-at-large of that year from Indiana, Ohio and New York came three presidents, Garfield, Arthur and Harrison. In the convention of 1884 Shelby M. Cullom was at the head of the Illinois delegation. Theodore Roosevelt at the head of the New York delegation, R. W. Thompson and Benjamin Harrison were of the Indiana "big four", George F. Hoar and Henry Cabot Lodge of the Massachusetts, Joseph H. Foraker, William McKenzie, Marcus A. Hanna and W. H. West --- in the same practical way, not to talk about the trust, but to proceed against the trusts by law for their regulation. In separate suits fourteen of the great railroads of the country have been restrained by injunction from giving illegal rebates to the favored shippers, who by means of them were driving out smaller shippers and monopolizing the grain and meat business of the country. The beef trust was put under injunction. The officers of the railroads engaged in the cotton carrying pool, affecting all that great industry of the South, were indicted and have abandoned their combination. The Northern Securities Company, which undertook by combining in one ownership the capital stocks of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern Railroads to end traffic competition in the Northwest, has been destroyed by a vigorous prosecution expedited and brought to a speedy and effective conclusion in the Supreme Court. The right of the Interstate Commerce Commission to compel the production of books and papers has been established by the judgment of the Supreme Court in a suit against the coal-carrying roads. Other suits have been brought and other indictments have been found and other trusts have been driven back within legal bounds. No investment in lawful business has been jeopardized, no fair and honest enterprise has been injured; but it is certain that wherever the constitutional power of the national government reaches, trusts are being practically regulated and curbed within lawful bounds as they never have been before, and the men of small capital are finding in the efficiency and skill of the national Department of Justice a protection they never had before against the crushing effect of unlawful combinations. We have at last reached a point where the public wealth of farm land, which has second so inexhaustible, is nearly gone, and the problem of utilizing the remainder for the building of new homes has become of vital importance. The present administration has dealt with this problem vigorously and effectively. Great areas had been unlawfully fenced in by men of large means, and the home-builders had been excluded. Many of these unlawful aggressors have been compelled to relinquish their booty, and more than 2,000,000 acres of land have been restored to the public. The reclamation by irrigation of the vast arid regions forming the chief part of our remaining public domain has been provided for by the national reclamation law. The Department of Agriculture has been brought to a point of efficiency and practical benefit never before known. When the last national convention met the Philippines were under military rule. The last vestige of insurrection has been swept away. In 1900 the project of an Isthmian Canal stood where it was left by the Clayton-Bulwer treaty of 1850. On the 18th of November, the Hay-Paucefort treaty with Great Britain relieved the enterprise of the right of British control and left that right exclusively in the United States. Then followed swiftly the negotiations with Nicaragua; the Isthmian Canal act of June 28, 1902; the just agreement with the French Canal Company to pay them the value of the work they had done; the negotiation and ratification of the treaty with Columbia; the rejection of that treaty by Colombia in violation of our rights and the world's right to the passage of the isthmus; the seizure by Panama of the opportunity to renew her oft-repeated effort to throw off the hateful and oppressive yoke of Colombia and resume the independence which once had been hers, and of which she had been deprived by fraud and force; the success of the revolution; our recognition of the new republic followed by recognition from substantially all the civilized powers of the world; the treaty with Panama recognizing and confirming our right to construct the canal; the ratification of the treaty by Congress; the payment of $50,000,000 to the French Company and to Panama; the appointment of the Canal Commission in accordance with law, and its organization to begin the work. Following the speech of the temporary chairman the Standing committees of the convention were appointed, and the meeting adjourned for the day. At night a mass meeting at the Auditorium was addressed by Senators Depew and Lodge, Representative Dalzell and other prominent men. of the Ohio. Two presidents, McKinley and Roosevelt' came from the delegates-at-large in the convention of 1884. Thomas C. Platt was an active in the convention of 1884 in support of Blaine as he had been active against Blaine in 1880. In 1888 Chauncey M. Depew and other delegates of the convention came into line. Of the delegates to the Chicago convention of 1868 not many are living. Among the dead are Richard W. Thompson, Walter Q Gresham, John A. Logan, Marshall Jewell, John W. Forney. Among the survivors are Daniel E. Sickles (at the head of the New York delegation), Carl Schurz (at the head of the Missouri delegation), J. R. Hawley, O. H. Platt, H. C. Warmouth and others. Of the presidents of Republican conventions held in Chicago Carl Schurz and Joseph R. Hawley of the convention of 1868, George F. Hoar, 1880; John R. Lynch, 1884, and John M. Thurston, 1888, are living. He who seeks truth must not count tongues—Leibnitz.

Christianity favors the conltivation of sosial prineiples—hence the gaspel miniater abore all men een | not withdraw himself from the world.

What blessing the obrtstian minister brings to the house of sorrow, tothe thamber of sickness, to the abode of burden und distressed aouln ‘The sharacter of the minister should combine the spirit of faithfoluess to God with faithfulness to men. He should not fail in his duties to either, ‘The miniater of Christ must pity. the weak, forgive the ignorant, condesend to men of low estate, “with malice to- ward none but with charity for all,” with a prayer and desire that all might be saved. The minister must not oly appear to sympathize, but his heart must go out weeping with them whe weep and rejoicing with those who do rejoice. ‘The widow and fatherless, the poor and the neglected, the down- cast and the forgotten, the sick and the sorrowing. Hence the christian minister is the man of the people, the counnnity; the man of God; among the people, However there are two ‘extremes to be considered. A mivister may have so strong a desire to separate himself from worldy things and world. ly men as entirely to foose the social spirit, or onthe other hand he may hare $0 intense a desire to smoothe the way for good influence among all men ‘and to come down to the level and sympathy of all, that he may not only thereby loose bis dignity, but com promise his principle; and he may un- conscientiously adopt the principles of the world and of the evils there is in society. He way go so far as to come upon the ground of doing evil that good may come, ‘The ministers of the gospel ought to be sound as to their principles; for a minister without sound priuoiples is easily ted astray, and carried away by the evils of society and of the world. Suid Christ, “They are not of the world even as I'am not of the world.” Yet he prayed that they should not be taken out of the world, but kept from itsevils, Hence while in tho world the minister should not be of the world. He ought to show that christian relig- fon is a principle strong enough to live in the world without practicing or partiopating in the evils thereof. ‘The pure and undefile religion ts unspotted from the world. If the minister surrenders too much ‘and suffers bimself to be governed by the same principle that goveens the world—so that he moy have sosial intercourse with it, and general good time—he gives no clear testimony to the divine spirit of Christ, neither will he be able by this means to raise society, but will himself be dragged down by it, Whilea minister should observe the cuscoins of polite society, and may have friends whom he loves aniong the decidedly wordly class; yet he should cultivate no society where he is forced to hide his principles or ‘his sacred ofices, and appear to be whathe is not. Hence the need of ministers whose hearts are renovated by divine grace—washed in the lood that eleanes from all sin, and whose principles ace derived from the sacred oracles of divine trath. A. minister's holy calling and pro- fession requires of him common sense, sound judgment, discreation, honesty, truthfulness and refinement—having all the courtesy of a christian gentle- man. ‘The minister isa public man in the comunity. While his first duty 4a to his family and the chureh; he be- longs also to the public; responsibili- ties of a public nature rest. upon him; he ia'an all-around-man, s0 to speak, everybodys man, Subject to.calls here and there; such aro the nature and work of the minister in the community He should not shrink from legitiment requirements of a public nature, when they do not interfere with more essent- ial duvies—with love to God, and the law of love to our neighbor. We should endeavor to raise a higher standard of morality, and build up a higher and holier life in the commun ity, the true christian life in svcfety— realizing @ comprehiensive view of his relations toall men, yet not to the neglect of his duties to his family and to his church, ‘Though at the same time cultivate the duty and power of following out the wider relations of ‘moral and religious principles and duttes to their practical results—good ‘will toward all mankind—in the com- ‘place for christian ministers. As to ‘the aocial amusements in society and ‘that are common in the community, fend popaler too. ‘The minlatér ought to exereite good common sense, sound judgment aud discreation with the ‘question In aight end proper for him to attend auch places; where the bible [sxy’, foflow not the multitudes to do evil etc. Blessed is the man that walketh pot in the odunsel of of the wicked, nor standeth in the way of loners, nor sitteth {a the seat of the scornful ete, The mlsistor should sey, we are dolng a great work otc., we can not come down; wherefore should I leave off my high and holy calling and come down to you to partake of your evil waya and ungodly doings.
