We hope that all of our readers may read them, that they are good Our own beloved editor, Mr. Hawley Ingham, editor of the Presbyterian Edition, is without doubt the finest and broadest piece of literature yet contributed on that all absorbing question. It speaks our sentiments tooto and we here need not comment only to say if America had more real true honest, undeceltful men as Mr. Hawley race hatred and color prejudice would soon be the case it will have to in the inevitable future if individual freedom and free institutions exist—(The Editor.) COLOR IN THE CHURCH. Colfax, Ia.—To the Editor: I wish to commend your editorial in Saturday's Register and Leader about the Dr. Andesan incident, regarding his invitation to the banquet and the space devoted to a sketch of his life and work. It is refreshing to note that the "secular press" has the age advantage of your journal, where religious bodies are more anxious about large, popular organizations than they are about fair and honorable treatment and just recognition of individual merit, regardless of race or color. We take this occasion also to commend the many art clues that have appeared in a pla for a fair and just treatment of the colored race, politically, by our government; deploring the decadence, in our political parties, of the strong convictions on these questions, that were apparent in their early history. These editors have the true ring an antics back to the time of the Plains and the grand men of that time. Can you assure you that they have been largely read and commented upon. PRINCETON'S COLOR LINE Brooklyn Times: Before the general assembly of the Presbyterian church met at Des Moines last week, some apprehension was expressed left the presence of a large delegation from the south of the city, and the color line among the chery, in deference to sutherland preduces. It is to the cedic of the southern delegates that the on y distance in which this question so must have been raised on the line of exclusion drawn against a negro in the church, was appointed of princeton, who happened to find themselves at the meeting of the assembly. The Rev. Dr. Matthew Anderson, pastor of the Brennan Presbyterian church of Phila. spin, was, it is stated, refused audition, and was regarded as objectionable by his fellow graduates. To make the matter worse, was alleged as the reason for his exclusion that the hotel refused to entertain negroes, a statement which is denoted by the management of hotel, was added. Presbyterian added the cowardly sin of lying to their original offense. If this statement is correct, the general assembly owes it to itself and to the great church which it represents to take some decisive action to repair the damage done by the members. It has been the fashion to assume that all the race prejudice in the country is concentrated in the south or among the illiterate and prejudiced foreign immigrants. It has been the fashion to illustrate of illiteracy among a body of Presbyterian ministers who boast themselves as graduates of such an institution as Princeton university. If the dispatch from Des Moines is a needless or unnecessary thing should be to redeem the credit of American Presbyterianism. THE CASE OF REV. ANDERSON. It is not at all probable that many of the Princeton men who bauquetted at the Chamberlain knew that the Reverend Mr. Anderson had been requested not to be present on account of his color. If they had known there were who would have resisted to one of their college mates. On the other hand, it will not do to ignore the fact that the indignation of the General Assembly over the attempt to draw the color line at the banquet will be tempered. There will be no serious search inquiry made to discover who was the attacker with whom the Rev. Anderson was informed that the proprietor of the hotel had objected to his presence, nor will there be any resolutions introduced or adopted concerning the act. There is running throughout the Presbyterian body a sentiment favorable to race security who was the attacker with whom the Rev. Anderson was informed that the proprietor of the hotel had objected to his presence, nor will there be any resolutions introduced or adopted concerning the act. There is running throughout the Presbyterian body a southern body, and by the possible future reunion of the whole Presbyterian church not h art south, the Negro eliminated. There will be those who will deny that this is the situation, and the man from the casual cloaker, the man from the casual cloaker, "emitted to have separate presbyteries and synods. The Cumberland Presbyterians, who now join the mind body, "permit him to have separate assemblies. It is the wish and the hope of the men who manage that in the end the general Presbyterian will abide with the Negroes of the northern body and that the church will definitely move forward along race lines. It is fortunate in some reps that the Negro selected F+ pos-situation is less than 10%. This is due to his race in the ministry. He is a man of learning, of culture, and a man of real and substantial achievements. A gratemate of Oberlin Fritz etton and Yale, there is no his lacking in his training to fit him to meet any body of men in any surroundings on equal terms. The prescription of the Negro is so far as the Negro is concerned, it is not to his ultimate injury that he is being forced more and more to look to himself. In the end he will build his own shops, manage his own churches, and hold his own banquets. The mother bird does her young the greatest favor when she takes it by hand out of the nest. Nobody is appreciating this phase of the situation more thoroughly than the educated Negro. Self reliance is his text, and he is preaching it in school and church. But what is the effect to be on the church when it tactically comes s s that there is some other standard than the standard of character? How much worse will the church refuse to stand when flitting for conduct? Can the great Presbyterian body compromise by saying that conduct must go with color, either in this world or the next, and not lose all vital hold on the thought and conscience of men? What standard is being set by Princeton men, being seen by Princeton men willing to indirection to yield to the most absurd of all snobbery, the snobbery of color? When the civil war was creating the dissensions that divided the Prebiterian body the Catholics of the soul him appealed to the pope. But the pope knew neither color nor section, and the religious bodies that with it men and women are merely men and women to be judged by their deeds, and to be associated with as their censure: justifies. Catholicism has this to its credit, it has never sought temporary endorser gratified peal personal pledges by making distinctions of race and status against the Christian philosopher, it has just insisted that here and hereafter we are all to be judged by what we do, by how we live, and that with what we measure we note it shall be meted to us again.

A CORRECTION Last week we published an article stating that disbarment proceedings against George H. Woodson for mal practice in the district courts of Monroe county at Albia, and stated that he had been found guilty. This is an error, for said trial has not been heard and will not be tried until next September term of court. Our informant had mixed some other cases which had been tried instead of the above case. Therefore we cheerfully make this correction, for we do not wish to misrepresent the true status in any public maters. DECORATION DAY. Wednesday in our state was an ideal day for parade and decoration. Thousands of the veterans of the struggle of the greatest war of modern times, and thousands of sons and daughters of these veterans, with the soldiers of the late Spanish-American war war marched our paved streets and crowded roads to the various cemeteries to deck the graves of their fellow comrads, to drop a tear and pay tribute to his sleeping remains. It was a grand sight to behold. There was youth, manhood and age represented in this grand annual military pegnant. On either side of these parades could be seen thousands upon thousands of people looking and catching the solomn but heroic and gallent enthusiasm. It was a day of rejoicing, yet a day of sorrow. We rejoice for their noble deeds and what they done for humanity, yet we are sorry for the spilling of blood and loss of so many lives. May our hearts beat firmer and our pulse warmer to the imperishable rights that those immortal heroes granted and may we ever enjoy and protect them.

PLEASANT NOTES Unknown Friends. Menbers in Business. For the average man success frequently depends more upon his manner and appearance than upon his knowledge of his trade or business, or, as one might say, of his profession. A Chicago newspaper has lately been notting some failures and their causes. It cites the case of one man who was a successful salesman in a business house in Chicago, but was unable to get any custom when sent on the road. The general manager of the business went to lunch with him one day, to talk over the matter. The man crumbled crackers into his soup until it was thick, and then ate the mixture from the end of his spoon in great mouthfuls. When the meat was served, he shoved it in with his knife, and had finished eating and was notily picking his teeth almost before the manager had begun his meal. In reply to a question, he told the manager that he always took his customers out to lunch, and "used every method to win their confidence and friendship." The manager then said: "You know that we stick a gum. No man whose personal habits are so obviously vulgar as habits we the elightest influence with me. Had I lunched with you before sending me on the road, I would never have disgraced our house by giving it such a representative." These words hurt, says Youth's Companion, but the man profited by them, and to-day is one of the most gentlemanly as one of the most successful salesmen on the road. Another case cited is that of a minister whose unrefined manners annoyed his women relatives. They tried to help him, but he repented their suggestions, and men less able intellectually, but with more of the graces of refinement in their manners, were called to the opportunities for service in the palpitations of the large and influential churches. They used to teach manners in the old days. Now there is little formal instruction. If a youth does not learn good manners at home, he has to pick them up when he gets out into the world, or else be handicapped. Great geniuses have commanded respect in spite of boorishness, but it is never safe for a young man to assume that he is a genius. Political Geography. A new study has been added to the curriculum of certain American colleges. It is known as political geography and is defined as the study of geography in relation to political and social institutions. To teach economic subjects, as well as other university branches a knowledge of elementary geography is required. It was found that many students, though primed with Greek and Latin, lacked anything approaching familiarity with this old-fashioned study. Hence the invention of political geography. The elementary side is taken up and, in connection with this, emphasis is laid upon an explanation of how each country studied came to be a separate, distinct country; upon its political institutions and the geographic influences that have affected them, and upon the present political problems of paramount interest in connection with each of the countries studied. The world events of the past two years have greatly assisted in making the course interesting. This year, while the class was studying Great Britain, the Irish question was agitating British politics; in the study of France, the great question of separation of church and state came up for discussion; the interest of the class in Norway and Sweden was enhanced by the events that have led to the separation of Norway from Sweden; the Balkan question has been at the forefront for a few months past and for two years the great Russo-Japanese war has made the study of Russia and Japan of especial interest. The man "who knows it all" and deems himself all-sufficient for all occasions, and especially for emergencies, is a familiar figure in all employments, public and private. More men achieve failure by knowing too much and trying to do too many things to which they are not called than by the opposite course. The everdoer, more frequently than the man who keeps below a high standard, falls to realize his aims. Dominated by a deep and abiding sense of his capacity for usefulness and by an equally robust doubt of other men's qualifications, this inflated personage is a nuisance at all times and in any avocation. Miss Grace M. Varce, who is now in New York, has crossed the Atlantic 21 times as the agent of an English diamond concern and on each trip she has carried with her gems valued at from $15,000 to $300,000. Miss Varce is said to be an expert lapidarist. She has traveled in all the principal cities in this country, Canada and Europe as the representative of her firm. She speaks four languages and incidentally carries a revolver, which should occasion require, could also "speak." It is true, as ever, that there is no loss without some compensating gain. The rebuilding of San Francisco will give work to thousands, and already arrangements are being made to send unemployed workmen in New York and other cities to the Pacific coast.

Then came the normal team with 22 points, Iowa with 20 points, Drake university with 15 points, and Coe college with 1 point. Des Moines colleges and Simpson college failed to place men in any of the final events. The meet was filled with sensations and five state records were shattered.

In the high hurdles, Henninger of Ames finished in :15 4-5, two-fifths of a second better than Clows and Chapman's records that still hold, and Chapman's records that finally failed to leave all his hurdles standing.

Beckel, aged 52 years, died at his home on Fourth avenue from the effects of a quantity of morphine, self-administered, Beckel, who was despondent, purchased twelve one-fourth grain morphine pills from a local druggist, stating that he wished them for his wife, who was ill. Lying down on a sofa at his home at night he swallowed the entire quantity, one-tenth of which would have been enough to produce the desired result. Before shaking into the coma from which he never rallied, he bade his wife and sons good-bye. A physician was hastily summoned, who was powerless to rouse the sleeper, however, as the pills were of the soft variety, which issued substances, and the fortunate man died three hours after he took the narcotic. Beckel was one of the best known and most popular salesmen in Clinton, where he had made his home since 1870, coming from Germany. He was formerly in the clothing business in New York, where late years has held positions with the clothing clothes of the city. He leaves his wife and two sons. REPENTANCE IS TOO LATE Guy R.

Providentially King Alfonso and Queen Victoria escaped by an electric wire deflecting the bomb, but at least sixteen persons most of them being of the personal and military escort and the others spectators, were killed. Many others were injured. The following are the killed: CAPTAIN BARBOSA, commanding part of the king's escort. THE MARQUISE OF COLOSA HER DAUGHTER ONE ROYAL GROOM, who was carrying the king and queen carrying the king and queen Several of those killed were standing on the balcony of the house from which the bomb was thrown. The explosive, occurred just as the royal couple were about to enter the building, and then been diverted from Arsenal street to Mayor street, owing to the popular desires. The procession had just passed through Mayor street and was about to turn into the espa'nae leading to the palace when an explosion shook the buildings in the vicinity, causing a large number of people and their cortege into inextricable confusion. The bomb, which was concealed in a bouquet, was of polished steel, half a centimeter thick. It was thrown from a third floor window. The house, according to some reports, belongs to a man who was questioned to her by a philanthropist and being the only house she owns in Madrid. The house is opposite the Church of the Sacrament and the captain general's residence. The royal procession had come to a temporary opposite the house when the bomb was thrown. The missile fell to the right of the royal carriage behind the hindmost pair of horses and the front pair of wheels. The explosion killed two horses and a groom. The duke was wounded, and the right hand side of the carriage, was slightly wounded, and four of the soldiers who lined the route followed by the cortege, were killed, together with a police bugler, whose head was severed, and two women spectators, and one man who was fatally injured. A great many persons were seriously wounded. The shock of the explosion was terrific. It is said that immediately after the explosion, Durant was seized and hurried downstairs.

MUCH AROUSED St Petersburg, June 1—Imnagation at the execution of the eight revolutionists at Riga on the heels of the interpellation of the government on the subject adopted by the lower house of parliament created a storm year after. After the reading of a message of congratulation from the president of the Argentine parliament, crouched in extremely cordial terms, which was received with much applause, the group of radical constitutional democrats supported by the workmen in the government mediately framing a law to abolish the death penalty, in view of the government's refusal to cease execution. The majority of the speeches were extremely revolutionary in tone and the moderate and constitutional democratic leaders of a hard work in insisting on the title of rapper threatened to take the house off its feet. M. Altadin, the pessant leader, now the Robespierre of the Russian parliament, urged the necessity for the instant adoption of a law abolishing the death penalty and proclaiming the death penalty without regard to the action of the upper house of the government or admitting the fact that parliament is impotent, all its powers having been usurped by the "owners of the Cossacks and machine guns." Father Poyarski, an orthodox priest of the Cossacks, advised Altadin in violence of language. He declared that if the death penalty was not immediately abolished it would be the duty of parliament to resolve to cease its attempt to legislate, disband and go home. The leader of the constitutional democrats Prof. Kuihakarvief of the Tver delegation and other moderates pleaded with the house not to take such a defiant step. While warmly passing on the advisability of passing a law abolishing the death penalty they urged the government and not forcing a rupture before the authority of parliament had beer established in the country. Steady pulling is what moves the load while spasmic effort generally merely breaks the harness. IRISH LEADER DEAD. Blood Poisoning Due to Operations on Jaw Cause Demise of Michael Davitt. Dublin. — A notable career closed Wednesday night, when after a long and painful illness, Michael Davitt died peacefully and painlessly at 12 o'clock, in the presence of his oldest son Michael, and his two daughters, who had devotedly attended him through his illness, and many of his most intimate friends, including John Dillon. The greatest sympathy has been displayed by all classes of society during Mr. Davitt's illness. Wednesday the hospital was besieged by anxious inquirers. John E. Redmond, leader of the Irish party in parliament, was a frequent inquirer by telephone from the house of commons and gave up his proposed continental trip over the Whitstable holidays owing to the death of his father the Irish Land lord. After a rally Tuesday night, Mr. Davitt was able to speak to those at his bedside, but soon showed that he was losing ground. Mr. Davitt retired from the representation of South May in parliament in 1899, but to the last took a keen interest in the politics of his country. Death was due to blood poisoning, which followed two operations for necrosis of the jaw bone, and spread so rapidly that all efforts to stay its course were unavailing. Mr. Davitt's illness began with an insidious attack of toothache, to which he paid no attention until John Dillon urged him to have recourse to medical advice. For some time there were hopes for his recovery, but the state of his health which was undermined by exertions at the recent general elections, greatly handicapped his progress. DISLIKE INSPECTION BILL. Enemies of the Measure Confer to Frame Substitute for the Beveridge Rider. Washington. — The enemies of the Beveridge bill for inspection of the operations of meat-packing houses were very active on Wednesday. Most of the day was spent in conferences, the purpose of which was to frame amendments to the Beveridge bill or perhaps a submittal for it. that with the approval of the packers and not injure the business of the cattle raisers. Prominent in these conferences were Representative William Lorimer of Chicago, Chairman Wadsworth of the house committee on agriculture, and Representative Henry of Texas, representing cattle interests. Just how far the negotiation among these gentlemen have progressed is not known, but it is stated that the proposition framed as a result of them will be submitted to the packers for their approval before public. If the packers approve the proposition the presumption is that the amendments or substitute will be pressed upon the house. What the effect of such action will be cannot be conjectured at this stage. It might cause the president to make good his threat to publish the confidentiality agreement. He holds upon conditions existing in the Chicago stockyards.

He said: "Now, the first thing upon which I wish to lay emphasis is that a school such as this, which strives to raise the colored man and colored women, to make them better men and women, better citizens, is preeminently in the interests of the white man. There is nothing that can be done better for the white man, who is to live side by side with the colored man, than to train that colored man up to be a good citizen. The good man, who is a white man, is to train that colored man every colored man in the community, and the safety of the white man is in having the colored man grow to be a good and decent man. "From the standpoint of the white man, the safest and best thing that can happen is to have the colored people around him become thrifty, industrious, homemakers and housekeepers, for you never yet had any formidable quantity of criminals from a people or locality where the average type was the homemaker and the housekeeper, for you never better can be done than to give the colored man that real education, that real training which he gets here at Hampton and in similar institutions."

Buffalo, N. Y. Both Parted Their Hair in the Mid dle, But One's Part Was Much the Wider. One of the veteran lawyers of Burlington, Vt., is A. V. Spalding, writes in Globe. One day when he was sitting a case in the Chittenden county court he called as a, witness a stylishly dressed young man who parted his hair and used to be regarded as indicative of a "dude." The young man, however, gave his testimony in a plain, straightforward manner and resumed his seat. When the argument came to be made by the counsel opposed to Mr. Spalding, reference was made in a peculiarly cutting manner to the foplish looking witness who parted his hair. On rising to reply, Mr. Spalding said: "I fail to see how the fact that this young man parts his hair in the middle has any hearing in this case. He certainly has a right to part his hair in the middle, and he parts it exactly as my brother on the other side does his, only" he added, pointing to the head of the lawyer, "he doesn't part it quite so wide." TORTURED WITH ECZEMA Tremendous Itching Over Whole Body —Scratched Until Bled—Wonderful Cure by Cuticura. "Last year I suffered with a tremendous itching on my back, which grew worse and worse, until it spread over the whole body, and only my face and hands were free. For four months or so I suffered torments, and I had to scratch, scratch, scratch, until I bled. At night when I went to bed things got worse, and I had at times to get up and scratch my body all over, until I was as sore as could be, and until I suffered excruciating pain. They told me that I was suffering from eczema. Then I made up my mind that I would use the Cuti Remedies. I used them according to instructions, and my skin greatly relieved. I continued until well, and now I am ready to recommend the Cutiurem Remedies to any one. Mrs. Mary Metzger, Sweetwater, Okla., June 28, 1805." ALMOST A CATASTROPHE. Exuberance of Love Spasmodically Manifested in Mor- dification She was seated in the gloaming, a happy smile on her pretty, passive face, when her older lady aunt entered, then, as she looked upon the kind old face, a feeling rushed upon her that the must share her wonderful new wife with somebody in the court which till then had been the sole possession of herself and Harold. She sprang up and flung her arms about her aunt's neck. "O, auntie," she cried impulsively, "you do love me, don't you? Kiss me, auntie, and tell me you do—kiss me!" But only an alarming gurgle came from the old lady for a moment. Then she turned to her sister, "Kiss you, if you snot careful I'll shake the life out of you. You very nearly made me swallow my teeth!" HOMELY PHILOSOPHY It isn't always lucky to trust people who trust to luck. Romance is sweet sixteen, religion is sixty if she's a day. Happy is he who never knows when he gets the worst of it. A great achievement doesn't need a brave and compassionate moment. Most of us expect better ordinary notices that are coming to us. Those who yield to temptation are generally looking for a chance. The optimist looks forward to tomorrow, the pessimist sighs for yesterday. There might not be so much room at the top if there were fewer cushions at the bottom. Most of us are dissatisfied, some who have and some with what we haven't. The present gets away from a lot of people while they sit on park benches worrying about the future. Laconic. "Circumstances over which I have control compel me to reject your offer of marriage.

Yer room's right the corner of't hull, in't corner-number 10." With considerable astonishment and not a little injured dignity Ohio's chief executive pointed to his name, smiled faintly, and said: "I am George Hoadly." "Yep; I notice," said the rustle without turning a hair. "An 'an yee room's right there at th' end of th' nail—number 10. Can't miss it." With more hauteur, and almost quivering with outraged importance, the guest impressed: "I am George Hoadley, governor of the state of Ohio!"
