"A White Elephant"
C. f. s..

That is what j. Q. Roberts, of the
LaHarpe News, calls the lola square.
When it was desired to build new
court house for the county Mr.. Roberts
ardently opposed the plan. He OPP
posed building in lola. He opposed
building on lola city property. So
the city quit-claimed to the county.
Now Mr. Roberts sees in it all a deep
laid scheme to defraud the county. If
a cyclone should sweep through the
park and ruin the trees Mr.. Roberts
would think lola knew it was coming
and slid from under.
So under the caption ga White
Elephant" he says of the paving pro-
position as related in the REGISTER:
"It will be remembered that about a
year ago, lola boasted of having given
the county handsome square in
which to build a court house. OF
course most people then knew that it
was an act that deserved no credit,
for lola could not use it for anything
but for park and that it only made
it better and more attractive to have
a fine court house built in it. How
ever, sor people were caught on the
pin hook and were loud in the praise
of generous lola. Now comes the city
council of lola and says that the coun'
ty must pave it's half of the street
around the square. This will mean a
cost ranging anywhere from $1,000 to
$l5, 900. The county will have this tc
do sometime: there is no way out. The
lax payer will recognize the fact thai
they accepted a white elephant; thai
the hand was empty that protfered the
gift.
eff, as the REGISTER says, lola:
streets are such mud holes and hog
wallows, why doesn't lola fix then
! Just as other towns in the county have
to do, and not call upon the county tC
do it. When we are through with thii
court house and court house squar,
business we will be ready and willing
TO admit that we have paid too dearl
for our whistle"

clearly demonstrated that MIR. Taw-
ney's proposition was impracticable
and probably unconstitutional, and it
was tacitly superseded by the proposal
ofMr. Morris, also of Minnesota, which
provided that an appropriation from
our treasury equal to 20 per cent of
the tariff collected on Cuban imports
should be paid over for three years
to the Cuban treasury. Mr.. Longs
proposition also was modified, at the
suggestion of Mr. Sibley, of Pennsyl-
vania, so as to provide that the pro-
posed reciprocity arrangement should
terminate December 1, 1908, instead of
continuing indefinitely as at first con-
templated. And it was upon these
two propositions that the vote was
finally taken, with the result noted in
the beginning of this letter.
Nv
The fact that the Long proposition
was adopted by the conference does
not mean necessarily that the measure
will, be unanimously supported by the
Republicans when it comes up in the
House. The difference between a con-
ference and caucus is that the for
mer is a merely advisory while the lat
ter is mandatory. A member may
therefore decline to be bound by the
action of conference without incur
ring any reproach for party disloyal-
ty. In view of the strong local senti-
ment in the districts largely interest
ed in the beet sugar industry it is antici
pated that a considerable number of
Republican votes will be cast against
the bill in the House, although not
enough to defeat It,
~.
What the Democrats will do about
the matter nobody yet knows. And
now that the Republicans are across
their own bridge they are deriving
some amusement from the contempla-
tionof the perplexity in which their
Democratic colleagues find themselves.
The politics of the situation, of
course, ifnothing were to be consider
ed outside of the four walls of this
chamber, would be for the Democratic
vote to be cast solidly with the disaf-
fected Republicans upon any question
which offered the chance of breaking
the Republican majority; for when the
party in power fails just once to carry
its measures through it is 'up in the
air" and finds it mighty difficult
process to again get its feet to the
ground. But in this particular instance
for the Democrats TO vote with the pro-
testing Republicans would mean to
break over the most sacred Democrat
ic traditions and cline up" with the
ultra protectionists, "a procedure that
would seem to be embarrassing to
say the least. SO it is apparent that
some people as we'll as others have
their troubles.
