cover the cost of collection at the out
set? Or, better still, why not make the
test case on some unimportant article,
giving free trade as 'sour plain duty"
on everything else, especially sugar,
tobacco and fruits?
Itis amazing that President Mckinley
who has such keen sense of the value
Of keeping in touch with the plain pee-
pie of the nation, should not haye un-
derstood that they will have nothing to
de with constitutional problem when
American honor or duty is at stake.
They will leave the refinements and sub.
tleties Of the constitutional question to
the courts.
Republicans-would Sather err on the
side of duty and honor than win in the
supreme court on tHhnical point Of
constitutional law.
The president is mistaken il he thinks
that he has more at stake than anyone
else in the ma tier. II he is in error the
American people will have to bear the
burden Of dishonor and pay the penalty
of democratic success next November.
President Mckinley should realize
that behind the constitutional question,
which it cannot conceal from the popu-
lar imagination, looms what Congress
man Tawney, of Minnesota says is "the
shameless lobby maintained by the
sugar and tobacco trusts
This is what the republicans 'rill have
to meet next November if it is admitted
that Is per cent. injustice has been done
to Porto Rico to avoid a precedent for
Cuba and the Philippines obnoxious to
the sugar, tobacco and fruit interests.
1tis now said that the senate will
thrash over for the next month or six
weeks the question. Shall we do our
plain duty to Porto Rico, or violate our
plighted word in order to make consti-
tutional case for the supreme court?
Let this be done with the president
throwing his shield in the scales against
good faith and the day of the republi-
can party's repentance on the Porto
Rico question will be past. The hateful
and fateful error of blowing hot and
c Id upon principle of manifest JUS
tice, expediency and duty will become
irretrievable.
Time is of the essence of the republi-
Gun party's opportunity to undo its
false step. There is eternal truth in the
words:

enough to be of some advantage to him.
In the committee meeting Thursday
there was some discussion as to the
kind of platform which ought to be
adopted at the early convention. The
conclusion was that the platform should
be sufficiently non-committal to allow
the Kansas City convention to do what.
ever it might choose without embar.
rassment to the Iowans. On the money
question, especially, the disposition is
to take no position 80 positive as to
forestall agreement to anything which

There were four candidates for the
emporary craftsmanship: J.. H. Denni-
son of Clarion. Douglas Deremore of
Waukon, Horace M. Rebok of Tama,
and j. b. Sullivan of Creston. On the
informal ballot Mes.rs. Retos, Dere-

each and Mr.. Sullivan the remainder,
Mr.. Sullivan was declared elected. He
has been regarded as sound money
democrat since 1888, although he has
stood firmly by the regular party or
ganization.
There was considerable talk as to the
delegates at large to the national con-
vention at Kansas City. 1t is agreed,
by common consent, that Cato Sells and
G. A. Walsh will be two of the four.
Mr.. Walsh was not in attendance at
the conference Thursday, being out Of
