if schedules that may become neces-
sary to prevent their affording shelter
to moncpoly,'' is the plain expression of
the platform which Governor Cum
minis says is the best expression of Iowa
republicanism that he has ever seen.
There can not possibly be any objection
to this platform on the part of Iowa SEN
ators or congressman for 1t is almost
of their own making in the original To
convey the impression in editorial dis
cussion that the delegation and the
state administration are at variance
upon this subject is to misinform the
public, The fact of the matter is the
discussion over the platform would new
err have arisen if few personal enc
mics of Governor Cummlns mad not
conspired to misrepresent his attitude
on the tariff question. Since the gov
ernor has disclosed their sinister pur-
poses by his declaration in favor OF last
years platform debate should cease. To
argue that congressman and senators
can't stand squarely on that platform is
a false representation, unfortunate if
unintentional and actually viscious e
intended and designed.

DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN PLANS.

Advices from Washington indicate
| that arrangements are being made by
the democratic congressional commits
tee to map out a plan of campaign this
| fall Chairman Griggs has been hold
ling conferences on this subject. 1t has
been determined by the democratic
leaders, so far as a decision has been
reached, to make the trust, tariff and
Philippine questions the issues of the
campaign.
1 How they hope to make any Roadway
with their treatment of such issues is
what no guesser can make out. They
are merely camping on ground occu-
pied by republicans in attempting to
correct any abuses of the trusts and
tariff The latest utterance of Presi-
dent Roosevelt is in line with his party
lin favoring some conservative measure
that will eliminate the odious features
OF the trust problen. The republican
party itself has enacted the only anti
trust law, a measure that does not,
however, meet all requirements, but
party leaders are still students of the
problem and will have the courage to
approve a measure In the future that
will control great corporations without
breaking down this great economic
force in the business world.
AS for reforming the tariff the demo-
Gratis are on record as having made the
only blunder in recent years in at
tempted tariff reform, which the head
of the democratic party refused to APP
prove.
In Iowa they would be seriously ham
iicapped in urging such an issue while
republicans in the same campaign are
fayoring desirable notifications. Ihey
would simply be camping upon repub-
lican ground.
AS for the Philippine question, 1t was
largely settled by the session OF con-
gress just closed, and the problem Oh
government for the islands will disap-
near from view despite the efforts OF
aeitators to keep it to the front. me
neople are largely with the admins
tration on this question. and VIII listen
with listless interest to any proposals
made by democratic orators.

of peace should have made the pres
Ience of a great body of soldiers unnec-
essary. The elasticity which could not
be secured by detailed congressional
enactment was obtained by the device
of leaving the matter TO the presidents
The opponents of the bin argued
that the power it gave the president
made him Il military dictator. they
were confident that the minimum linn
liz provision was only n blind and that
the Caesaristie party of 'imperiaIism
intended to keep the army at its max
mum for the purpose of Expressing the
people. The discussion of the measure
gave occasion for an immense amount
of feryid oratory thru which the Man
ION Horseback galloped furiously. of
course none Of the speakers believed
his own ominous predictions, but the
subject offered good campaign materi-
al.
The presidents speech disposes of
army has been reduced to about $4,000
men. Secretary Root announced the
other day that orders had been issued
to retain only $4,000 in the Philippines
for police duty. About $4,000 will be
|s;tates-or $4,000 more than before the
Spanish war The 21,o00 on duty four
years ago We're scarcely enough to gar
rison the posts, and We're not sufficient
to care for the coast artillery. 1t was
insisted at that time that the artillery
corps ought to be increased by from
$4,000 To 10000 men so that the equip
ment. representing an investment Of
millions, be kept in repair. The reor-
ganiZation bill provided this increase.
The size of the army to to be stationed
permanently in the United States is
therefore practically the same as be-
fore the war with the addition of few
thousand men to care for the coast ar
tilery. In such condition of affairs it
must take sensitive nostrils to scent
"militarism'' and delicate ears to hear

Horseback"

FACTS ABOUT DICKENS.

AS some of the readers of the T.-R.
are interested in Charles Dickens writ
ings, an answer to the puzzle picture.
IN. b." place where Dickens once
lived, may be appreciated by those
readers.
Broadstairs-This is n village stu
ated little north of Ramsgate on the
North Foreland, where the River
Thames empties into the North sea.
Dickens lived here when he wrote
.Bleak House" and in house of that
name. 1t is still standing and was Of
fered for sale a few years ago, and I
think was purchased by AN association
which is buying some of the Dickens
landmarks 1T is all the name implies.
for in the winter the wind sweeps
across the North sea, and is very
bleak, cold point, also very dangerous
for navigation when the wind is In the
east or northeast. The readers of
"I3leak. House" will better understand
why Mr.. Jaundyce said the wind was in
the east when he was out of temper.
The story is not located at Broadstairs,

WHAT ENcLAnD,s KING MAY DO.

The people of this country nave
very vague understanding of the pow
ers of the English king. Naturally
enough, not being interested IN klhsB
rrerogatives, they have given but NIUE
attention TO the subject. The rulers OIL
England have conducted themselves 50
,.rudently within recent years tnas
,bare has been little discussion of the
subject In time of peace, II they con-
duct themselves discreet!y, they are lit
tie more than figureheads.
In recent publication by Arthur
Nee giving a life history of Edward
VII" appears very interesting COM
rendium of the rights and limitations OF
the king under the British constitution.
1t appears that nowhere is it set down
in black and white what kings may do,
and what they may not. Such momen-
tcus things are left to work out them
selves, and somehow they work out all
right, in the opinion of Mr.. Nee. The
powers of ministers are defined and
confined, and an NJ. P. knows exactly
what ne NAV do, and what he may not
do. But the crown is it's own interpre-
ter. and it would be within the strictly
legal Interpretation of the prerogative
OF the crown to bring about a revolu-
ton for which the history of England
has no parallel.
For instance, strange as 1t may seem,
Mr.. Nee notices that he might dispose
of the navy and dismiss the entire army
as we'll as all civil servants without
violating the constitution In time of
war the king is absolute. In case of in
yasion or sudden insurrection he could
demand that every able-bodied man
should take up arms, could call out the
militia and could seize all ships. He
has the power to cancel the acts and
orders of generals, and to exercise SUI
preme control over the forces on land
or sea. He could make war With any
country, anu DTllS peace dl aHS piice.
The author goes on to say: He is,
of course, the supreme power known to
the law. He can do no wrong. He is
the head of the church, appointing ali
bishops, and during the vacancy of any
see he represents the bishop of that see
and has the temporal powers of a
bishop. He is present, according to
law, in every court of justice, and can
pardon nearly all prisoners. He is in
parliament, according to the same law,
at all times, and can refuse to sign any
Sill passed by either house. He can con-
fer any title on any subject, and no
subject can legally decline it. King
Edward could mark his coronations by

can appoint any person to any Office ol
authority; nobody has any right TO re-
fuse to be prime minister if called upon
TO be so by the king. No act of gov
eminent can be complete Without him
He is head of the state, head OF the
legislature. head of the church. head OF
the army. head of the navy. He alon
can make money. or order it to be made,
aud he can make sovereigns of lead and
give them the stamp of the royal mint
He can break every treaty, dismiss
every ambassador and recall every
British representative from the capitals
OF Europe.
But there are limits even to the the
oretical powers of the king. He could
sell the navy, but he could not spend a
single penny of public money without
the consent of parliament. He can not
create any new office with fees attached
to it, He can pardon nearly all offend
ers, but he has no power to remit the
sentence of prisoner guilty OF GER
tain form of Sabbath-brealling. He
can not issue any proclamation contra :
w to law, nor proclamation which
would injure the community-such. Tor
instance, as the exemption of whole
town from service on juries. Tho he
Nasion, he can not compel any civilian
to leave the country. Tho he may par
con a prisoner after sentence, he can
not prevent the sentence being passed.;
and tho he may set aside the Judgment
OF the judges-eNcept for contempt of
court-he may not interfere with them
in the course of their duties on the
bench, and he can not dismiss them.
Neither can he interfere i'm an act OF
private as opposed TO public wrong.
HE can not, as some of his ancestors
could, exclude any man from the house
>,
from the operation of ordinary law. Ii.
time of war there is practically no limit
to the power of the king, but in time of
peace he could not hand over one inch
of British territory to foreign sway. He
is the only man in the kingdom who
can not arrest criminal. AS the king
can do no wrong, he is above all law.
and no action can be taken against
him, if he breaks the law. 1t follows
that If the king made an arrest, and the
prisoner proved to be innocent, no ac-
ton for false imprisonment could be
taken against the sovereign. The king,
therefore, can not make an arrest"
While the king has great and auto
cratic power, he is usually guided by
. wise desire to promote the interests
of his kingdom and please his people. 1t
is: this that keeps him within bounds of
prudence.

RAILWAY PROSPERITY.

While railroads are having some
hard Shedding Just now in getting thru
disastrous storm period, which VIII
entail the loss of millions, general and
remarkable prosperity is the marked
feature of their general condition.
Proof Of this is given in the Halfway
Age. which declares that the year l9o2
has so far been the most remarkable
period in fifty years of railway history
In respect to insolvencieS and receiver
ships. Since January 1 only one oper-
ating railway, the New York y Penn
sylyania, fifty-two miles long. has been
placed in the hands of a receiver ana
that one broke all previous records for
brevity of stay, the appointment nav
Ing been made in February and the
road having been sold under foreclos-
IRE and started for reorganization IN
Nav. The receivership thus covered
the short season of four months. The
Railway Age therefore, for the nrst
time in it's history, can not report
Railway for which a receiver has been
APPOINTED and continued in the current
Blk months. During the twenty-siX and
pne-half years of which the record has
been kept, it has shown the appoint
ment of receivers for 639 roads, cover
Ing 114.40O miles of lines and repre-
sentinr stocks and bonds aggregating
the vast sum of 1921. $780, 900. In a sim
gle year, 1893, no less than seventy
four roads went into bankruptcy, with
29,s40 miles and $1,7S1, 100000 Of stocks
and bonds
The general prosperity Of the coun-
try has been the means of getting de-
sirable lines upon their feet. There are
lines, however. that lag behind and will
continue to do so until the local traffic
which is their chief dependence is suf-
fisient to sustain them and pay interest
on stock. With the lines having desir-
able routes better management and
needed improvements have given them
q more substantial status, and their
stock is sought by the people as an in
yestment, because they make 1t their
aim to secure dividends to holders.
These railways give employment to
Immense armies of men and are a po-
tent force in sustaining sound econ
omis condition in the business world,
and the more prosperous they are the
better enabled as they to do this.

this platform that contained advanced

afford shelter to monopolies, at the re-
