modification has been rife in every
community. This discussion more than
Ianything else drew crowds to Dies
Moines, and interest in candidates WAS
insignificant as compared With the pub
ilc concern over platform expression
In that great convention Governor
Ic'ummins MAS given such an ovation as
no senator or congressman received. not
because he is identified rs the ipfintn
because OF his strong state administra
ton of his good looks, but because he
is Identified as the leader OF the move
ment for progressive republieanism
Those portions of the report OF the
platform committee relative to tariff
modification gave an overwhelming
majority of delegates and visitors such
satisfaction as came out of no onthel
convention incident. There can be no
doubt upon this point II words nave
meaning and cheers are in the least Sig
niflcant.
All our congressman With one eNcep-
tion saw that striking demonstration.
Senators Allison and Dolliver are in ac-
cord with platform sentiment. as are
several house members. Three or four
representatives expressed dissent from
this direct and emphatic expression OF
popular will. and one so tar torGot
himself and what is due from repre-
sentative to the public as to reNiie the
platform and the committee That made
ii. Upon sober reflection he has doubt-
less regretted his unfortunate eXhibi-
ton of recacitrance and temper IL
NAV as Well be taken for granted that
rs a matter of principle Iowa stands
for a logical and defensble tariff. Pro-
lection is still held to be sheet anchor
of prosperity as we'll as of republican
faith. hut ii is not with the consent OF
Iowa to be prostituted to selfish ends
or maintained beyond the point of prae-
teal need. This is n conclusion so de-
liberate in formation and so emphatic
in expression as to leave no man in or
out of congress in doubt as to the 1u-
ture position of Iowa republicans.
In feeling it's way to this conclusion
Iowa has followed safe national leader
ship. 1t has furthermore Vlndlcatea
the claims of a hundred years OF tarli1
in assuming that Where
American industries have demonstrated
ability to overcome all competition IN
the world market protection has COM
pleted it's mission and should be With
drawn. Unnecessary protection is
menace to fair trade and discrimina-
ton against the home market.
The west is largely in accord upon
tariff issues. 1t is less involved in COM
promising relation With great business
that would prostitute pro-
lection to selfish ends. and it should
NOT falter in the presence of plain duty.
All along the line republicans of the
west should press their demand for
modified protection that is not in the
language of Deliver "a crime against
The American place"

IOWA AND TIE TARIFF.


For the pash year newspapers have
sneered and congressman have frowncd
at Iowa expression in favor of tariff
schedules adjusted to commercial and
industrial conditions. Such expression
has in derision and scorn been termed
mugwumpery democracy and treach-
cry. 1t has been minated that the
republican synagogue is no place for
men who dare to criticise congressman
upon their public conduct and that
outer darkness is the iii abode OF those
who refuse to regard a tariff schedule
as the product of inspiration.
AT Cedar Rapids a year ago the
committee on resolutions recommended
such changes in the tariff from time
to time as become advisable thru the
progress of our indus tries and their
changing relation With the markets of
the world" and any modification of
the tariff schedules that may be re-
CURED to prevent THEN aftordng shelter
to monopoly" This is plain language
but ii was adopted by the convention
without division. 1t has since been
urged. however, that for the reason that
the action was taken with little con-
sideration on the part of the conven-
ton Iowa sentiment vas misrepresent-
ed. For months discussion as to tariff

Dubuque. Aug. lit is understood
that the Iowa delegation in congress
Will unite in an effort to have the entire
force in the two United States mar
shals' offices in this state placed upon
salaries instead of continuing operation
under the fee system. Nebraska and
South Dakota and certain other states
are said to have secured this concession
from the department of justice. The
removal of the special war taxes will
cut down the business of the marshal S
/ office so much that the deputies Will be
fortunate If they can earn $1,000 a year.
The maximum they can earn is $1,000
and some exceeded that sum when the
war taxes We're in effect. OF their earn
ing and violations of federal laws the
Sioux City Tribune says:
The effect OF the removal of these
taxes July / may easily be seen in the
fact that Deputy Marshal j. A. Tracy
of this city has not since then had a
single case. Deputy NJ f.. Healy, of
Cedar Rapids. in a letter to Mr.. Tracy
says he has had but two cases since
June
There are three reasons, anyway,
why bushes should be light this YEAR
said Deputy Tracy. In the first PLACE
the removal of the war taxes has left
duty upon only liquor dealers, brewers
and manufacturers of tobacco When
the taxes We're all in force. legal doc
uments of all kinds had to have stamps.
as We'll as billiard and pool halls, shows
and exhibitions, and so on. OF course
Bookkeeping has always been about the
principal offense in our business, and
now there are but few counties in the
state that are dry. Where there are sa-
Ions there is no bootlegging and no
BUSINESS of that kind for us. In my dis
trlct only Cherokee county is dry now.
Then people are more PROSPEROUS
now. There isn't much object in violat-
ing the law when everyone is making
money. 1t is when money is tight and
bushes men are not prospecting that an
effort is made to avoid the payment of
taxes
I'm spite of the fact that the people
of Iowa have become so law-abiding
that deputy marshals cannot exc out a
living. the number of deputies cannot
be cut down. One must be in office for
each district, and il the present incum-
bents do not care for the office after
their terms expire, someone else must
be found to do the work.
Several years ago congress passed an
enactment placing just and wise Iimi-
tation upon the fees of the marshals'
and attorneys offices. The good old
days when the United States attorney
could stand up in court and in two
hours enter pleas of guilty for thirty
~ forty bootleggers and persons who |
lad been guilty of technlcal and unin- |
.entional violations of the revenue laws
IRE gone forever much to the regret of |

UNCLE SAM DEFRAuDED.
Fourth Class Postmasters Who Solicit
Business Will Feel the Axe.

Washington. Aug. Postmaster
General Payne has ordered summary
action 10 stamp out Il practice which
has been rapidly growing in the pos
tai service during the past few months.
The abuse relates TO the practice of
fourth class postmasters located near
presidential postofiices of having mail
originating in the limits of the latter
ter deposited in the fourth class eftice,
thru an implied agreement, the fourth
class postmasters getting the benefit
therefrom when the department comes
TO make a Redistribution of Salaries
The compensation of fourth class post
masters is based on cancellation, Will
that of presidential postnasters is
based on receipts The attention of
Postmaster General Payne has been d.
rected to several cases recently where
mail originating within the limits of a
presidential postoffice has been depos-
tied at fourth class postohice
As the stamps are purchased al the
presidential postofIice the government
pays compensation twice ON this class
of business, to the presidential post
master for sales OF stamps and To the
fourth class postmaster on ms cancela-
ton. Isolated cases of this kind have
been known heretofore. but only within
the past few months has the practice
become of sufficient seriousness 20 at
tract the attention of the LAW officers of
the department.
1t is violation of the postal laws for
q postmaster to solicit business In the
cases under consideration it has not
been proven that postmasters so vio-
lated the law. but it is taken for grant
ed that there is an Interior motive
where mail is deposited outside of the
limits OF the office in which it origin
ates. This abuse is therefore held to
be violation of the spirit of the law.
1t has been practiced in Pennsylvania
in several states of the south and
cases in the north and middle west
lave also been called to the attention of
the department. Announcement is made
at the department that dismissals will
follow in every case where postmastars
are unprecedented in countenancing this
practice.

ALARM CLOCK DISCLOSED ITSELF
Why the Small Boy Was Interested in

A woman boarded well filled Lex

walked down the car to vacant seat.

up tor her. She carried round parcel,
which she deposited in her lap. Beside
her. kneeling on the seat so that his
rubbers We're soiling both her gown
and the dress of his mother, was a
small boy. After fidgetng about for a
time, he finally gave his whole atten-
ton to the womans parcel. He eyed
it for few moments with his mouth
partly open, and then, in q high treble
he announced, Ma, that lady's bundle

twisting him around sharply. so that
his rubbers deposited a fresh dab of
mud on the womans skirt
But the mischief was done. All the
car had heard what he said and a
deathlike silence ensued. Everybody
was straining to hear the ticks. For a
moment nothing WAS audible. Then, as
the ear became used to the hush. a dull,
smothered, but fussy click. clacl. click.
clack could be distinguished, plainly
coming from the parcel.
The passengers smiled. The woman
turned burning red. and looked
straight before her. The small boy,
loudly, triumphantly cried:
There, ma, what did l tell you?"
Again the passengers smiled. and

conversations, when suddenly, as if in
anger at the fuss it was causing. the
clock inside the parcel burst into the
most astonishingly loud. prolonged and
metallic rattle of alarm The paper
was pressed against the gong so the
sound was now smothered, and now
full and clear, as the woman angrily
shook the bundle. and twisted it in her
lap. The passengers jumped. then
burst into a laugh. The small boy
crowed with delight. And the clock
kept up its song of protest.
"Must be one of the twenty minute
kind" some one said.
Apparently it was. for the unfortu- |
nate owner undid the wrappers dis |

back of the clock. and pushed dCEs'n /
some sort of a lever The clock shut I
up. Then she carefully wrapped it up I
again and as carefully laid the bundle
in her lap. But the rage in her face was
apparent.
Jack had watched these proceedings
in silence. He peered anxiously at the
face as they were ended
Ma said he will she break the clock
when she gets home"
Again the passengers burst into q
augh.

here was a look of pleasure on the
Nomans face.
