THE REPUBLICAN, RECORD.

The text book for the campaign oil
1902 has been issued by the republican
congressional committee. in pamphlet
form. and contains $50 pages. 1t is an
excellent summary of republican action.
l. makes liberal Quotations from the
speeches of Mckinley and Roosevelt,
and contains extracts from their mes
sages to congress in support of repub-
llcan doctrines The book reviews the
record of the republican party from IT'S
beginning to the present time.
Under the heading, Protection and
Pros perity," 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:
.,rhe 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.
lean party to such restriction as will
prevent an arbitrary advance in prices
OF, the reduction of wages thru eN-
elusive control, but not the destruction
by 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
anti trust Law, Mckinley's recommends
ations, legislation proposed by repub-
beans and a quotation from President
Rooseyelt's message to the Fifty
seventh congress. which is described as
conservative, but fearless" The asser
ton is made that the share of the trusts
in business is comparatively small. The
book says:
i
great place in the manufacturing in
dustries as they have in public discus
sion"
Farther along 1t is asserted:
The republican administrations of
President Mckinley and President
Roosevelt have made 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"
Ninety-five pages are devoted to the
philippines and the republican insular
,olicy, including the early stages of the
acquisition of the islands, the conduct
OF the army, declarations from promi-

THE LONG RANGE WEATHER PROPHET

the weather is going to be more than

T.-R. was the only paper in Iowa that

man was dispatched from this office
on the first train for details. On the
following morning the morning dailies
of the state appeared with practically
the same story as appeared in the T.

nation had been obtained.
BY following the T.-R. man to that
wreck one can see what effort it takes
to get all the news and get it first. Our
star reporter went west to State Center

he drove six miles to Rhodes. the scene
of the wreck. Here he found the
ruined trains, with wreckers still recov-

Gen. Phil Sheridan.

On one occasion some Years ago,
Gen. Phil Sheridan, known in war
time as "Fighting Phil" was standing
with another general, an old friend,
on the steps of big house in Wash
ington, watching his four bright chill
dren get into cart and drive down
the street.
AS the children drove along, soon
disappearing from sight, and throwing
goodbye kisses" to their papa, Sher-
idan's friend asked: "Phil, how do
you manage your little army of four?"
"Don't manage; they are mischiev-
GUS soldiers, but what good comrades!
All the good there is in me they bring
out. Their little mother is a Won
derful woman, and worth a regiment
Of officers, John. I often think what
pitfalls are in waiting for my small,
brave soldiers all through life. I wish
I could always help them over.''
"Phil, if you could choose for your
little son from all temptations which
will beset him the one most to be
feared, what would it beg"
Gen. Sheridan leaned his head
against the doorway and said soberly:
''It would be the curse of strong
drink. Boys are not saints. We are
all self-willed, may be full of courage
and thrift and push and kindness and
charity, but woe to the man or boy
who becomes a slave of liquor. Oh,
had rather see my little son die to-
day than to see him carried in to his
mother drunk! One Of my brave SOL
dier boys on the field said to me just
before battle, when he gave me his
message to his mother, if he should
be killed, Tell her I have kept my
promise to her. Not one "drink' have
1 ever tasted The boy was killed. I
carried the message with my own lips
to the mother. She said: General,
that is more glory for my boy than
if he had taken city,"

Not Needed That Time.

Father O'Keefe, the Catholic chap
lain at West Point. was listening to
some raillery one evening concerning
the efficacy Of prayer. 1t was all
good-humored enough, for his COM
panions at the time We're men who
held him in deep respect and regard.
His argument was that very, very
few of us who are helped by prayer
are inclined to give credit for the
assistance to the proper source, and
often fondly believe that our good
fortune is of our own devising. To
point his argument he told the tale of
Celt who was engaged as all-around
man in one of the big office buildings
Cleaning windows one day on the
eighteenth floor, he lost his balance
and fell, exclaiming as he realized his
great peril:

The words had hardly been uttered
when he was caught on projection
from window on the fourteenth or
fifteenth floor, when, assured of his
safety as he swung free, he added:

ment Of which he is a members"
That exactly describes the status
Of an Irish member of parliament at
the present day. The case Of John
O'Donnell is an anomaly under a con-
stitutional form of government. 1t is
violation of the Act of Union be-
tween Great Britain and Ireland. The
Irish have been deprived of their own
parliament, and they will not be lis
tened to in the parliament of the social
ed United Kingdom. Therefore, Ireland
is practically unrepresented under
British law. How long will this state
of affairs continue?
1t is manifest to the ordinary OBJ
server that Ireland is badly governed
by England and that English states
men have no desire to govern it fairly
and justly. All that the Irish can do
is to kick vigorously and prepare for
the day Of retribution which will in
evitably come to England. The only
logic that England can understand is
force. 1t is by force alone that Ire
land can obtain Justice from the rob-
Der of the nations.

RESIGNATION OF A JUDGE.

! After dispensing justice on the dis
trict bench for five years, Judge John
r. MCGEE has rendered his resigna-
ton to Governor Van SAINT, and his
successor has already been appointed.
The reason why Judge MCGEE va
Gated the woolsack is explained by
himself as follows to one Of the re-
porters of the daily press:
| "You can say that it was on account
Of the inadequacy of the salary that
is paid. The extra cost of living has
reduced the salary of the Office from
one-third to one-half. and that is en-
tirely inadequate for man with a
family 1t was with considerable re.
luctance that handed my resignation
to Governor Van SAINT Monday after
noon, but I had fully considered the
NATTER and felt that in justice to my
self and family, whose interests are
paramount. the step should be taken
at this time"
The salary received by Judge Nc
Gee was $4,000 per annum, and yet
he considered it inadequate compen-
sation for his judicial services in con-
sequence of the increased cost of liv-
ing during this era of Republican pros
perity! "The extra cost of living has
reduced the salary Of the Office from
one-third to one-half," says the retir-
ing judge. This is remarkable ad-
mission to make, and as the Journal
geographically says by way of COM
ment, it is we'll that Judge MCGEE
had not resigned before the recent
election and made such declaration.
If he had done so, the Democrats
would most assuredly have made pc.
litical capital out of it.
But Judge MCGEE is right in what
he says. The cost of living has in.
/ creased and will increase more and
more with the voracity of the trusts
which prey like vultures on the Amer
lean people. Judge MCGEE belongs to
the party under whose administration

cared for, not by the agitators and
rebels, but by the kind Christian gen
tlemen whom I, as the direct repre-
sentative Of God, have appointed to
look after my lands in the Western
world"
All tyrants have style of their own
and this may excuse Mr.. Baer for per-
hitting his mind to run in the Georg.
ian channel of colonial times. King
George assumed more than Mr.. Baer
in arrogating specific authority from
Providence and direct ownership of
the western world. Baer is not quite
so high in the scale of divine right as
an ancient king, but he has done very
we'll as an imitator.
