THE REPUBLICAN, RECORD.

| The text book for the campaign OF
congressional committee. in pamphlet
| FORM and contains $50 pages. 1t is an
| excellent summary of republican action.
|. makes liberal Quotations from the
speeches of Mckinley and Roosevelt,
and contains extracts from their mes
sages to congress in support of repub-
I.l1can doctrines. The book reviews the
record of the, republican party from ITS
beginning TO the present silae.
Under the heading. Protection and
Prosperity" eighty-one pages are de-
Voted to the advocacy of protection.
Twenty pages are devoted to trusts,
and in opening the discussion the book
thus describes the attitude of the two
PARTIES:
The attitude of the two great par
ties on the trust question is clearly de-
fined That of the democratic party
looks to constant agitation, with no re-
strictive legislation; that of the repub.
lican party to such restriction as viii
prevent an arbitrary advance in prices
or the reduction of wages thru eX-
elusive control, but not the destruction
bv legislation or injury by fictitious
agitation of legitimate enterprise. thru
great manufacturing systems by which
production is cheapened prices OF man
fractures reduced and permanency OF
employment assured.
Following this is the record OF the
republican party on the trust question,
mention being made of the sherman
ANTITRUST law. Mckinley's recommends
ations, legislation proposed by repub-
l,cans and quotation from President
Eoosevelt's message to the Fifty
seventh congress. which is described as
conservatives but fearless" The asser-
ton is made that the share of the trusts
in business is comparatively small The
book says.
The trusts have moi occupied as
great a place In the manufacturing in
dustries as they have in public discus
SION
Farther along 1t is asserted:
THE republican administrations of
President Mckinley ard President
Roosevelt have made a good record in
their efforts to execute The anti-trust
law. There has been no Sinking of
duty because of the powerful financial
influence behind the trusts. There has
been no hesitation for fear the law
would not prove effective. These two
republican presidents have recognized
nc man or corporation as above the
law
The assertion also is made that free
trade England is the home of trusts

philippines and the republican insular

SENATOR sPooNER.s POSITION.

Senator Spooner of Wisconsin, who
was informed by his state convention
itnat he could be a candidate for re-elec-
ton if he would espouse certain state
issues has been maintaining a discreet
silence since that time. and the country
viii hope. this discreet silence Will
eventuate in the return To that body of
the man who has honored ii so much
with his ability and practical states
manship. He has not Vet subscribed to
,he platform, the plain intention of
which is, of course, that unless Mr..
Spooner renounces outright some of the
principles that have made him a power
declaration the LA Toilette ideas. he
will not be permitted TO return to the
senate. Mr.. Spooner's friends in Wash
ington have all along considered it eX-
tremely doubtful that he could be
frightened by any threat of this kind.
and have believed that he would fight
his enemies to the bitter end
A private letter to a Washingtonian
from one of the senator's supporters at
Milwaukee contains the information
that, altho he has not been heard from
directly, his friends are proceeding on
dctation of Governor La Toilette, but
Will soon take the stump and explain to
the voters his attitude on all state as
we'll as national questions. The letter
also says that whatever votes this ac
ton may cost the senator it Will be
more than made up by accessions to the
ranks of his Supporters from the large
element of gold democrats in Wisconsin,
whose leader for years has been General
Nana and warm friend of Mr.. Spooner.
Thus even If the senator should not
have enough votes in the next legisla
ture at Madison to secure his re-elec
ton, neither could the La Toilette peo-
lep control that body, and the chances
would favor the choice of a stalwart
republican like Mr.. Spooner rather than
the representative of the La Toilette
element. However, it is thought that
when Mr.. Spooner takes the stump he
will so arouse the republican masses
o. Wisconsin with his eloquence and the
straightforward account he will give
them of his stewardship that the oppo-
sition within the party will dwindle to
such small proportions as to remove all
doubt of his success. There is no more
speaker in the country than
Mr.. Spooner and he has had to face
worse situations than this one in Wis

THE LONG RANGE WEATHER PROPHET.
IMinneapoiis Tribune


Shall we ever be able to know what
the weather is going to be more than
Itwenty-four or forty eight hours in adj
vance? This is about the range of the
II government weather predictions. and
they are given out subject to correction
every twelve hours. Prof. Willis l.
Moore, the chief of the United States
weather bureau says lit is the dream of
/ the meteorologist that he will some day
be able to accurately forecast the
weather weeks and months in advance,
but so far this much-to- be desired OBJ
ject can be realized only in a Dream
notwithstanding the inability of the
government observers, possessing the
unlimited facilities and appliances
furnished by he government, with
station at the most favorable points
for observation, to see more than two
day into the future. there are a number
of so-ealled weather prophets scatter
ed thru the country who every month
send out their schedule of the weather
for the ensuing month. and these long
range prophets have considerable
clientele. They assume to base their
forecasts upon the position of the plan
cts, the sun and the moon. and to be
adopts in reading the signs in the sky
| But the government staff contains
men quite learned in astronomy and
meteorology; and if there We're any
such thing as making long forecasts
they could, with their wide flung fa-
cilities, be able to far outstrip those
with only private means at command.
Prof Moore says the long range
weather prophet is 'either an igno-
Iramus or a charlatan,' and i'm the minds
of most people of sense and expert
ence ne is classed with the rain,naker,
the clairvoyant, the astrologer. the
fortune teller. Still. there are thous-
ands who. seemingly, dearly love to be
humbugged. and to them the long
range weather prophet meets long
felt want.
1t is not impossible that the funda-
mental principles underlying weather
changes will some day be discovered
but if they are 1T will be by genuine
scientists and not by pretenders. AT
the present time the government fore
casters, altho mortal and liable to err
ror are the only weather prophets
whose predictions are worth listening

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

In noticing the increase in railway
assessments of $4,000 900 the Carroll
Herald says: There seems to be no
confiscation in the action of the eNecu-
tive council in fixing the assessed valu-
alton and no protests are made by the
companies
Referring to broken pledges by
BlaclShawk county, and the defeat of NJ
A. Bucfan for clerk of the supreme
court, the Grundy Republican declares
that "for the past quarter of Il century
Grundy county has stood by every cam
clidate Blackhawk county has put up
for a. place on the state ticket and for
this generosity they have returned
nothing but evil. Henceforth and for
ever if the Republican man has any
voice in the matter, Blackhawk county
candidates will suffer defeat If it is
possible for Grundy county to bring it
about"
Democratic tactics in Poweshiek
county. as stated by the Montezuma
Republican, Nominate a republican
for office and then turn all the demo-
cratic mud-batteries on him because he
will not accept. Verify, bright and
shining lights are in control of what lit
tie is left of the democratic party in
this county,"

Fifth district, but it is in too many
groups" suggests the keokuk Gate
City.
The Denison Review approves the
tariff revision plank of the republican
platform: The people do not want
free trade; they have had all the expe-
rience they wish in that line. They
want protective tariff, but they do
not wish that great instrument of good
to be made shelter for monopolistc
greed. The republicans of Iowa propose
to give the people just the right kind of
protection and we are heartily glad that
the republicans had the courage to re-
iterate the stand taken a year ago
