EDITORIALS. Next Monday is our school election, and it behooves the voters, especially those interested in maintaining the high efficiency and business ability of the present management since the consolidation of the East, West and North to unite into one. We should see that all sections are represented so far as possible. Then look to the man and his qualification. Then again know if he is frivolous to a colored teacher, if one should qualify and apply. The time has come when our young girls should qualify and apply and we men support then Our race is entitled to at least two teachers in the public schools of this city. TAFT AND TIE NEGRO. TAFT AND THE NEGRO. The struggle among the republican party to select a standard bearer for their party for 1908. There are many active candidates and each have their supporters but there is one who seems to be in the lead and will, we predict, be nominated, that man is Hon. William Taft; Secretary of war in Pes dent Roosevelt's cabinet, and just now for some political reasons, some of our colored journals are publishing articles against Secretary Taft's nomination, inciting prejudice against him, and when they are sounded and asked to give their reason or what public act did Taft do against the race they cannot say except he is Roosevelt's candidate and that he would be like him, as he carried his order to dismiss the colored soldiers. This was an order, and he, like other officia's must obey orders. We also know that he held the summary order up several days until he got a second order to execute it. That to a degree shows his attitude if left to him. In short, he has never spoke, written or uttered his voice against the Negro's interest. Of course those newspapers who are trying to prejudice the colored people against him are not republicans; they are hypocris, mud-singers and demagogues. Most of them are edited by Negro democrats or disappointed office seekers. The Bystander believes that the republican journals should discuss the merits and demerits in kemerits in honest and manly way, but don't be led by our enemies or those who seek to divide us. Below we publish a letter from Mr Taft which appeared in the Indianapolis Freemad: War Department, Washington. My Dear Sire—I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of January 11th, together with enclosure from the Cleveland Journal. My attitude toward the Negro and the war amendments—the 13th, 14th and 15th—stated fully in my Tuskegee speech and also in my Lexington speech. The Lexington speech removes, I hope, some misconceptions that seem to have arisen in respect to my view of the 15th amendment, but I do not suppose that those who are seeking to use the race issues against me will cease to misconstrue my attitude or to arouse as much prejudice against me as possible. It is a painful experience when one has much at heart the welfare of an unfortunate and struggling race, and has done what he could to assist them, and has inherited from his father the deep sympathy of abolition days, to find him-elf held up to execution by many of the race at the instance of persons who should know better. But it neither discourages nor surprises me. It is an injustice that others have had to bear, and it does not affect in the slightest degree my earnest and hopefulness for a betterment of the Negro people of the United States, and makes me especially grateful to one, having your influence and standing in the race, for the position which you have taken. I am, sir, with respect, Sinceely yours, JOHN R. LYNCH MAY BE RETIRED. It is with regret that we learn that Maj. John R. Lauch, U. S. Paymaster, now stationed at Manilla, P. I. has been ordered before the U. S. Retiring board, because of failure to take the riding test prescribed by the war department. We hope that he may be excused from such a rigid test as he is near the period of retirement by virtue of age and services. Major Lynch is one of the old guards of the reconstruction period. He is from Mississippi, having been elected several times a member of the legislature, also three terms in Congress of the U. S, and is the only colored man ever selected temporary chairman of the National Republican convention that was held in Chicago in 1884, which nominated James G. Blaine. President McKinley appointed him Paymaster at the outbreak of the Spanish American war, later he joined the regular army and was promoted to Captaincy, and later to the rank of Major. Our Des Moines people have heard him speak on several occasions in our city a few years ago when he was stationed at Omaha, Neb. HIS ANNOUNCEMENT. Mr. Schramm's announcement is as follows: At the solicitation of many persons, friends, taxpayers and voters, "from all walks in life," I have finally entered to the race for commissioner under the new or Des Moines plan of city government. I do not intend to inflict on an already overburdened, but patient and long suffering public, a lengthy platform upon which to base my candidacy. As city assessor it has been my constant effort to see that the burden of taxation rested on all, in proportion to their means, and, as commissioner, I would try to the best of my ability to see that the people received full value for the taxes paid in the administration of the city's affairs. During my time in office I have made no entangling alliances, either business or otherwise, and I do not intend to appeal to prejudice in order to gain votes. I am not allied with any other candidate or candidates, and have not, or will not, make any promises except to combat wrong either in public service or private corporate interests, as well as individual, non-corporate or business interests or wherever else found; and do my best at all times to make the Des Moines plan a success.

Feb. 21, 1908. A TORNADO: The time of year is near at hand when we may expect a tornado, as any place in Iowa is subject to them. It is the part of wisdom to be prepared for them; both for protection of life and property. You can protect your life by having a fence, but the only protection to property is by having it insured in some reliable company. This paper has for many years called the attention of its readers to the great Iowa Mutual Tornado Insurance Association, which has had a wonderful growth, and now has over $122,000,000 of Iowa property insured and has paid losses of over a half million dollars, and saved many from financial ruin. In several cases the entire set of losses was insured. The remarkable cheapness of the Association makes it very popular with the people. For prompt payment of losses, it cannot be exciled by any other company on earth. There has been no assessment for two years and the insurance company has on hand. The business the past year exceeded that of any previous year by over $4,000,000 and yet the business of the past three months of its fiscal year exceeded every month for the same period the previous year. This means that the sociation hopes to make it the banner year for business. This is the people's association, and it is what they make it. It has not only saved its members more than a million dollars, but has had a huge impact on bystanders, companies, so every one is getting their insurance cheaper on account of its existence. When you pay your assessment in this Association, you are helping those who have met with a misfortune and it is a pretty good way to do it. The insurance is too cheap to be without. This Association operates in connection with the Farmers' Mutuals and the Town Dwelling Association. If there should be no agent in the Farmers' Mutuals, J. B.

Cleveland, O., March 5.—At 2 o'clock this morning 108 bodies had been identified and 57 were still unknown. Cleveland, O., March 5.—At midnight 165 corpses were in the morgue at Collinwood, six children were still unaccounted for, and all the hospitals and houses for two miles around contained number of children, some fatally, and many less seriously injured. All of the victims were between the ages of 6 and 15 years. The school contained between 300 and 325 pupils, and of this entire number only about eight are known to have been injured in the building unhurt. The list of fatalities may be increased by a number of deaths among the children who are now lying in the hospitals hovering between life and death. Cleveland, O, March 5—Death in one of its most terrible forms claimed between 160 and 170 school children of the North Collinwood school, in the village of Collinwood, an eastern building, catching fire from a defective furnace in the basement, was wrecked in the space of half an hour. The building being inadequately protected by fire escapes, the children were taken to the lower floors in time, to escape the flames as they shot up from the basement and off egress. Starting about 8:30 o'clock in the basement from the overheated furnace, the fire spread quickly ahead of its presence was noted. The fire drill was inaugurated at once and those in the rooms on the lower floors quickly moved out of the building. But when the panicle-striken little ones in the upper rooms attempt to climb the stairs, the jam of uncontrolled and fear-striken children grew unruly until but a few were able to extricate themselves and they perished almost within the reach of safety. Unfamiliar statements are made as to the cause of the fire and also that the doors of the building had been locked at the front entrance, while but one door of the rear entry was unfastened. The door of the rear entry was also that of three children says doors were open, according to custom. At any rate the congestion of feeling children in the hallway effectively barred the way and the little ones went to their death totally unable to avoid the fire. Within three hours after the start of the fire it had burned itself out and the work of recovering the little bodies proceeded. The fire department had only two engines and, upon arrival at the alarm was given, but all effective in stemming the flames. The school was a two-story and attic brick building and was so overcrowded with pupils that it was found necessary to utilize the attic for those of the children. Mr. Nerly, nearly all the children were killed in the jam at the first floor door, which was finally opened by men from the Lake Shore railway shops, who hurried toScene 1, of the fire had formed around it and it had been already were tied by the time the doors were swung open. Janitor Herter, after telling of discovering the fire, turning in an alarm, and opening the front and rear doors, said, "I cannot remember what happened next, except that I saw the flames shooting all about and the little children running down through them, the fire, the fire, the trench and others stumbled over them. I saw my little Helen among them. I tried to pull her out, but the flames drove me back. I had to leave my little child to die." She was badly burned about the head. Miss Catherine Weller, one of the teachers in the school, lost her life when she was struck by an accident of her class and lead them to safety. When the children, under her guidance, reached the hall and saw the fire, they became panic stricken and ran to the nearest head of them. Miss Weller attempted to stem the rush, but went down under it and her body was found an hour later piled high with those of her class. Miss Fisk, another teacher, was taken out alive, but she cannot live, OHIO INDORSES TAFT. State Convention Favors Tariff Revision After Election.

FEW OVER HALF IDENTIFIED Tendency to Blame Janitor of Collinwood School—it is Thought the, Boiler Exploded. Cleveland, O., March 6.—Twenty-four hours after the disaster which swept into eternity approximately one-third of the school children of North Collinwood, the death roll numbered 164. Of these, 137 had been identified at the Lake Shore morgue, while 27 bodies remain there in condition of mutilation; probably forever beyond the chance of being recognized. The work of digging in the ruins of the Lake View school house, in further search for remains of children still missing, began with the break of day. Dawn found mothers and fathers waiting about the fire-ruined building after having spent the night in an effort to find their children remain at the extemporized morgue. Burial of the dead is the burden according to those of authority in the little village. The arrangements for the funerals of the victims were discontinued and extended by the mayor of Collinwood, members of the board of education, the clergy and undertakers. The idea of having a public funeral of all the victims was probable that where it can be done, bodies will be grouped in one church. Last night the work of removing the identified bodies to their homes was completed and the work to prepare for the interments. In an effort to fix the cause and responsibility for the holocaust, various investigations were set under way, including the seven surviving teachers of the Lake View school. The laquest was begun yesterday morning, when a number of witnesses were examined, without, however, developing any memory that was beyond mere opinion. An investigation conducted by the Collinwood school board, which lasted for the night, at which a number of stories were told, brought forth these facts: That one of the inner doors at the west entrance of the school was closed and fastened, while the children were playing in the grass; wing partitions in the vestibule narrowed the exit by at least three feet; the flames came first from a closet behind the stairway at the east end of the school; and sawdust; three little girls had been found hiding in play in the closet earlier in the morning; there was but one fire escape, and that its door was open. Survivors in the fire drill. Survivors among the teachers estimate that only two or three minutes passed between the time of the alarm until all escape was made, and the pile of the kind of school construction in use in small towns. The halls and stairway were enclosed between interior brick walls, forming a huge flue that the flames shot up with great grudidity. It is generally admitted that the school building was of approved fireproof construction and that the calamity was attained at from this standpoint. Also it is now believed that the fire did not have its origin in the furnace or that it resulted from the explosion of the fire. It is also clear that so far adduced the fire must have started under the stairway leading from the basement to the first floor building. The fire, Freedier mentioned, that there was no waste rubbish there. BRYAN INDORSED Nebraska Democrat Solid for "Peerless Leader" Omaha, Neb. March 6—Yesterday was "Bryan Day" in Omaha. For that matter it was "Bryan Day" throughout Nebraska. With the democratic state convention as a nucleus party leaders from every county and practically every primary district in the commonwealth gathered here to pledge allegiance to the presidential aspirations for the nomination means for furthering his interests before the democratic national convention at Denver next July.

We rejoice that the principles which he has so ably advocated have been giddy and accepted by the American people. "Resolved. That the delegates by this convention chosen, be and are hereby instructed to vote as an unit of the president of the Mr. Bryan for the presidency." KAISER IN PRETTY MIX-UP His Interference in British Naval Affairs Raises Storm. London, March 6. -Asserting that Emperor William recently sent a letter to Lord Tweedmouth, the first lord of admiralty, on the subject of the British and German naval policy, the Times calls for the production of the letter in parliament together with Lord Tweedmouth's reply on the ground that it is an attempt to influence the British minister responsible for the navy in German interests. In the same context, the Times says that the letter will cause a shock, painful surprise, and just indignation on the part of the British people. Plea to Drop Big Case.

The greatest drawback to the hog industry which breeders in this country have to contend with is what is known as "hog cholera" and "swine plague." Hog cholera is a highly contagious disease and unless checked is liable to carry off a great number of hogs in a very short time. Mr. A. M. P. Williams, of Burnetta Creek, Ind., tells of an experience which he had with some hogs that had the cholera. "Five years ago," says Mr. Williams, "I was in the employ of Mr. J. D. Richardson, Lafayette, Ind., as his barn foreman. Some fine hogs that I was feeding took the cholera. I gave them Slonn's Limment and did not lose a hog. I were wore so bad that I drank drink sweet milk, and I was compelled to drink them. I have tried it at every opportunity since and always find it O. K."

A slip or an unnecessary incision may do irreparable damage to the patient. When he found that coffee drinking caused his hands to tremble, an ill, surgeon conscientiously gave it up and this is his story. "For years I was a coffee drinker until my nervous system was nearly broken down, my hands trembled so I could hardly write, and insomnia tortured me at night. "Besides, how could I safely perform operations with unsteady hands, using knives and instruments of prehistoric age, the effects of coffee, I decided to step it, and three years ago I prepared some Postum, of which I had received a sample. "The first cupful surprised me. It was mild, soothing, delicous. At this time I gave some Postum to a friend who was in a similar condition to mine, from the use of coffee. "A few days after, I met him and he was full of praise for Postum, declaring he would never return to coffee but stick to Postum. We then ordered a full supply and within a short time my nervousness and consequent trembling, as well as insomnia, disappointment, as well as normal no dizziness nor heat flashes." "My friend became a Postum enthusiast, his whole family using it exclusively." "It would be the fault of the one who brewed the Postum, if it did not taste good when served." "The best food may be spoiled if not properly made. Postum should be boiled according to directions on the pkg. Then it is all right, anyone can rely on it. It ought to become the standard for Postum." "Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich.

Sir: I beg to say that this year we had 349 acres of grain, consisting of 197 acres of spring wheat and 152 acres of oats. The average yield of wheat was 38 bushels per acre and oats 74 bushels. We were offered $1.00 per bushel for wheat and 50 cents for oats, making the acre values for the two crops $38.00 and $37.00 respectively. We also had 50 tons of hay worth $13.00 per ton, and 500 bushels of potatoes, worth 60 cents per bushel, the latter off 2½ acres of ground. Our best yields this year were 107 acres of wheat, making 41 bushels per acre at $1.00 per bushel, would be $41.00 per菜; 47 acres of oats, yielding 85 bushels per acre were sold for 50 cents per bushel. Proceeds, $47.00 per菜. I might add that 50 acres of our oats were "stubbled in." During the spring of 1906, we hired about 300 acres broken by steam. We put in and harvested 55 acres of grain last year, did the remainder of our breaking, worked out the cattle crop, put in seven acres of alfalfa and five acres of garden potatoes, trees, etc., all with one four-horse team. During harvest we hired other teams, but, aside from this, and part of the breaking, the one team did the work of raising 10,000 bushels of grain, worth $12,000.

Mrs. intheswim Intended to Draw Social Line in Heaven. The minister had dropped in to tea, and the conversation had drifted through various channels to the question of whether or not we should know each other in heaven. Presuming that our physical beings would be perpetuated, and that recognition would be assured, the minister had asked various ones at the table among whom the Biblical characters they would be most interested in recognizing. Some mentioned one prophet and some another, but one lady, noted for her social exclusiveness, had not spoken. Turning to her minister said: "Anna, you only like to meet in Mrs. Minshewim." Mrs. Minshewim pursed her lips. "I really don't know," she said, "but there is one thing I do know, and that is that I shouldn't care to meet Eve. In fact, I don't know that I would speak to her if I did!" How the Governor Felt Gov.

Marshalltown.—A surprise was sprung in the cases of the Green Mountain Savings bank officers when additional informations were filed by E. F. Roberts of the state auditor's office, against both President Quartz B. MacDiarmid and Cashier Donald A. Johnson. MacDiarmid is charged with perjury, embezzlement and conspiracy with Director E. L. Collins, Auditor Helen J. Edwards and Cashier Johnson to keep the bank open when they knew it to be insolvent. The charge of perjury was also lodged against Johnson, specifically that he made avidifi to the auditor of state that he owned ten shares of stock fully paid up, when in reality he owned only one share. MacDiarmid is alleged to have made an avidifi that the amount of his bank stock was sixty shares paid up which is now claimed to be false.

Clinton.—"Fred is dead—I've killed him," is the statement alleged to have been made by Mrs. Irene Dolph, accused of her husband's murder, to her mother, Mrs. Nellie Goldsmith, at Joliet, Ill. Mrs. Tolson, Mrs. Goldsmith's landlady, tells the police the story; and as she got the statement from Mrs. Goldsmith, and did not hear the daughter make it, the alleged confession cannot be admitted as testimony. But it strengthens the belief, which has come to be a conviction from Mrs. Dolph that he husband before killing and locking the house, to go to her mother in Joliet and confide in her the deed she had accomplished. Mrs. Dolph was arraigned before Police Judge Leffingwell on the charge of murder. Her attorney entered a plea of not guilty, and waived examination, and the 17-year-old wife was held to the grand jury without ball. Her mother, Mrs. Goldsmith, who will testify against her daughter, is sold under $1,000 ball as a witness, she being a nonresident of the state. JUDGE BLANCHARD DIES.

Boone.—A case of hydrophobia has developed in Colfax township, this county, which for a time threatened not only the stock owned by George Rockwell but members of his family. Recently a dog, which had gone mac, bit thirty of his chickens, killing them and also bit thirteen of his hogs. The dog was shot and the hogs isolated.

"As long as I can remember my mother was a faithful user and friend of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, but never in my life have I realized its true value until now," writes Prof. H. A Howell, of Howell's American School, Havana, Cuba. "On the night of February 3rd our baby was taken sick with a very severe cold, the next day worse and the following night his condition was desperate. He could not lie down and it was necessary to have him in the arms every moment. Even then his breathing was difficult. I did not think he would live until morning. Last I thought of my mother's remedy, Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which we gave, and it afforded prompt relief and now, three days later, he h is fully recovered. Under the circumstances I would not hesitate a moment in saying that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and that hot only, saved the life of our dear little boy." For sale by all drugstores.
