candidate" and says:

The coterie of worshipers seem, for one
thing, determined to retain his excel

The T.-R would think that a paper
of such boosted independence of opin-
ion and action as the Cedar Rapids pa
per could warm up to good repub
lican governor regardless of what other
papers say about him. To stand aloof
because other papers appear indisere Ell
in the zeal of their friendship for Cum
minis is about on a par with rece mt
newspaper opposition to long estab-
lished plank in republican platforms
because some democrat said it was a
good thing.

GOADING THE IRISH.

The pope of Rome has expressed his
sympathy for the Irish cause in a Dip
lonatic way, just as he might If called
upon to express an opinion on this SUBJ
ject He is quoted as avowing the opin-
ion that the cause of the Irish people
was just one and would ultimately
triumph. Many people of unbiased no.
tions who are now looking on at the
events transpiring entertain the same
views.
1t may be that the Irish people are
difficult to govern, but If such be the
case it results largely from conditions
of discomfort that have grown out OF
the British attitude toward them. Re-
pressive measures are not calculated to

government of the present type. Hatred
Of English methods pervades the classes
and the Irish members of parliannt are
SO imbued with 1t that their sarcastic

hard labor is frequent experience just
now for these Irish members. The ex-

WHISKY TAX INVALID.

The Missouri supreme court has just
knocked out whisky tax law enacted
in that state as a police regulation
This law imposed a tax of ten cents q
gallon on whisky manufactured in the
state to be sold in the state, yet
from manufacturers who make whisky
to be sold in other states no tax is de-
nanded.
The court holds that In so doing the
act violates that portion of the four
teenth amendment to the federal con-
stitution which guarantees to each citi-
zen of the United States and to each
particular state the equal protection Of
the law. The court therefore expresses
the opinion that the law in question, vi
olating as 1t does, the rule of uniforms
" preserved by the constitution, is al
together invalid.
3 The fact is the law was enacted as a
revenue measure and the supreme court
in it's opinion discloses this fact.Y The
people of Missouri resented this effort
of law makers to impose upon their
rights and have contested 1t before the
courts.
The action OF the supreme court de-
elaring the law unconstitutional leaves
Thomas J. Martin, who has been special
whisky commissioner since the law be-
gan to be enforced, without state job.

BIG FLOCK OF SHEEP.
TCarroll Herald.l

Mayor Parsons has on his ranch per-
haps the biggest flock of sheep in Iowa.
He bought about 10000 at South Om-
aha and he and his sons are prepar-
ing them for the Chicago markets, to
he shipped some time in January.
These sheep when together cover sew
eral acres of land and look like fleecy
pillows when viewed from a favorable
point. These sheep hayl had the run Of
full section of land and since their ad-
vent have eaten all the crops raised
there the past season. Over 100 acres
of corn have disappeared, and other
full crops have gone the same way All
fall pasture has been kept picked pref
ty closely and of late several loads o.
corn have been fed every day. Should
snow fall and cover the ground 1t is
estimated that they will eat something
like ten tons a day. Just think of the
amount of hay to be used In thirty
aays! A slight rise or fall in the mar
ket will make a difference of thousands
of dollars to the Parsons. Fully realiz-
ing this they are preparing to put the

TOM JOHNSON A WRECkER.

Nothing fell fatter than Tom john
sons efforts to win Ohio over to the
democratic cause. The 100000 majority
for the republican ticket is the most
stirring rebuke. tho some of the demo-
Gratis are inclined to resent his cam
paign tactics and utterances. Proof of
this is found in an expression recently
made in Washington: Tom Johnson
has ruined the democratic party in
Ohio. He has also ruined Tom john
son politically, and, incidentally, some
others This is the way Representa-
tive Norton (dem.) summarized the re-
suit of the election in his state. DR..
Norton is one of those who were Incl
dentally ruined. He was candidate
for reelection from the Thirteenth
congressional district. which is a DEM
ocratic stronghold, but was defeated by
large majority, and he aseribes his
defeat to Mr.. Johnson. THE truth of the
whole matter said Mr.. Norton, SIS that

EASTERN VIEW OF TARIFF REVISION.

Those Iowa newspapers which try to
al elections had no tariff revision sig
nificance, are merely binding their eyes
to the onward march of events. The
New York Tribune, leading republic
can journal of the east, and far re-
moved from the influence of the Iowa
idea" declares that tariff revision by
what the nasien has voted for by a de-
cisive majority. That is perhaps the
most positive and significant outcome
of the congress election This testi-
nrony, which accords with unbiased
western views, will be rather disheart-
ening TO such papers as desire to ignore
1t. The Tribune goes on to say. Cen
eraly speaking, where the tariff was an
issue republicans made gains, and
where democrats made gains it was on
other grounds than the tariff" thus
showing it to be republican policy.
The Tribune concludes as follows.
1--WE have said that some revision OF
the tariff will probably be effected.
There is no reason why 1t should not
be whenever it is needed. There is
nothing sacrosanct in any particular
set of schedules. Tariff rates are adopt
ed to suit existing conditions, and when
conditions materially change the rates
may properly be changed to meet them.
For the sake of business stability, of
course, such changes should not be too
frequent, and should not be made upon
slight pretexts. But when conditions
have so materially and lastingly
,->changeSsfrSf business interests and the
public welfare will be promoted by a
revision Of tariff schedules such revis-
ion should be made without undue de-
lay. AS matter of fact. tariff changes
thru the extension of reciprocity are
now In active preparation. The govern
ment is fully committed to generous
measure of reciprocity with Cuba, and
the conclusion of treaty for recip-
rocity with Newfoundland has just
been announced. The friends of protec-
ton and reciprocity are doing these
things, and they will for years to come
continue TO do whatever needs to be
done in such directions That is the
unmistakable mandate of the nation

have been growing in volume, and

Roosevelt's Hold on the West.


Altho President Roosevelt's view of
the results of the recent election is that
the country has merely given the re-
publican party "a chance to make good"
placing no blind faith in the continued
success of the party unless success is
earned by the party in congressional
Legislation. it is not strange that he is
especially pleased by the showing made
in the western states. In the east the
big reductions made in republican plu-
ralities were prevented from being big
ger, and several states We're saved to
the party, thru the last appeal of the
campaign managers to the voters-the
appeal to stand by the president and his
policies. This plea came directly from
those persons who had been most active
in opposing the presidents policies in
the last session of congress. 1t was
made because it was found highly expe-
dent, If not absolutely necessary. to the
success of the party. 1t was equivalent
to formal notice from the beneficaries
of high tariff and trust license that they
We're ready to accede to the presidents
demand for reform. 1t remains to be
seen. of course, whether the implied
promise will be made good" but in the
meantime the people have fixed things
SO that the party will be wholly re-
sponsible for the acts of congress for a
considerable sponsible for the
support that the president receives or
fails to receive at the hands of the sem
ators and representatives..
But while this appeal may have help
ed some in the western states it was
really not necessary in this section. The
people of the west have liked Mr.Roose-
Welt from the first They take to his
kind craftsmanship. They have faith
in his purposes and ability. He appeals
to their vital temperament. His hon.
esty attracts them. His genuine de-
mocracy suits them. These are the
causes behind the big gains Of the re-
publican party in the west, even admit
ting that the utter reputation of Bry-
an and Organism by the progress of
events as we'll as the verdict of the polls
has tended toward return to old po-
litical lines in the former silver
states" 1t is certainly incumbent on
the western republican representatives
in congress to stand by the president. if
they seek to stand by their constitu-

| water for three days and the necessity
of sleeping on plank bed for two
| weeks. Should the judge incline to Sc
verify, he may impose, instead of one
sentence of three months, three consec-
utive sentences of one month each.
These entitle an Irish member to three
consecutive courses of bread and water
and plank bed Ten Irish members of
parliament are under sentences for
punishment in this way. Think of an
American legislator undergoing such
an experience!
The London Daily News insists that
whatever the present British govern
ment may be contemplating in theory,
it is goading the Irish people to mad
ness in practice. Referring to the case
of one suspended member, Mr.. O'Don-
nell, the News, just quoted, says:
HE is to return to Ireland today to
serve that sentence-to sleep for three
months on plank bed. Mr.. O'Donnell
is political prisoner, punished for
some random words under an act
passed in perpetuity for providing the
Irish executive at any moment with
weapon against its political enemies.
Even in Russia political prisoners re-
ceive q different treatment from ordi-
nary criminals. OF England alone
among civilized countries can it be said
that she treats her political prisoners
when they are Irish members of parlia-
ment-worse than her ordinary Offend
ers. Since the house of commons adj
iourned,i ten Irish members of parlia-
ment have been arrested and sentenced
to terms of imprisonment under a
mockery of law. Two of these are al
ready in prison, and the eight others
are about to follow them. Whatever
else we may think of these men, we
know that they are men incapable of
ordinary crime, and that the words for
which they are imprisoned-for in all
cases. the only evidence against them
has been taken from speeches-have
been uttered IN what they conceive to
be the interests of their unhappy peo-
ple.''
Poor, unhappy Ireland! Is it strange
that her people should resent such
treatment?

Had the recent election been pres
idential instead of a congressional
election the republican candidate would
have had more than 800 votes In the
electoral college and the democrats less
than ITO. 1t would not be surprising
with President Roosevelt to head the
ticket, If 1904 should see victory even
more sweeping. Many will vote for
Theodore Roosevelt because they ad-
mire him and have confidence in him
who did not vote for a republican con-
gresham.

A BIG IOWA JOB.

The state of Iowa is learning that it
undertook a large contract when it adj
dressed itself to the job%of curing dip
somaniacs by treatment in insane hos
pitfalls. The inebriates soon find the
restraint irksome and in a number of
instances have made escapes. Nothing
but actual Imprisonment or the pres
ence of large body of attendants will
hold these men when moved by thirst
or the desire for more congeniai en-
vironment. If these latter day reform
dreams of making people good by le-
gal methods are permitted to run their
length the efficient population will soon
find ample employment in chasing the
deficient to schools and infirmaries and
prisons and keeping them there.

THE GovERNoRSHIP.
[Clarion Monitor.l

Speaker Henderson is being much
talked of just now in connection with
the republican nomination for COVER
nor next year. He would make an
ideal chief executive, but it occurs to us
that next year is hardly the time for
him to make the trial, unless Governor
Cummins decides not to be candidate
for reelection. There is a very strong
sentiment among Iowa republicans in
favor of a man having two terms, where
he proves himself competent and wor-
thy-two important factors that would
be against the colonel, and he is too
-shrewd a politician not to recognize
the advantage this would be to his OPP
ponent.
