A Mix Up.

The republicans of Iowa, at their re-
cent state convention, adopted plat
form favoring the removal of the tariff
from trust products. Congressman
Henderson, of that state, late speaker
of the House, is opposed to any reduc-
ton of the tariff, and takes the ground
that the tariff has nothing to do with
trusts. Nevertheless, the republicans
of his district, after having taken part
in the state convention, renominated
Mr.. Henderson as their candidate for
congress. Mr.. Henderson sees incon-
sistency il this, and declines the nomi-
nation, saying ne does not perceive how
aman holding his views can be the can
didate of a party holding the opposite
views, as expressed in the platform of
the republican party of Iowa. There
upon leading republicans throughout
the land denounce Nh. Henderson,
scof at his excuse for declining, and
express their belief that The real reason
must be something else" In one view
this is a strange way to treat Mr.. Hen
derson's action. But in the Night of
modern experience his party confreres
are in the right. With them platforms
have been mere vote catcbers." Plat
forms have been for temporary use
during campaigns. They have not
been seriously intended. The trouble
with Mr.. Henderson would seem to be
inability to appreciate good joke.
The Iowa republican platform was a
good joke. Mr. Henderson seems to
have made the mistake of taking it
seriously. He has no excuse for so
doing. Experience has taught him
otherwise. Therefore we, too, suspect
it must be Something else

The worst scandal known in the
history of Wisconsin politics is that of
the book scandal. just think of it. A
governor, like LaFollette, who pretends
to be a reformer, and his followers, ac-
cepting money from one set of trust
book publishers who want to def at
book publishers. All of this shows a
wanton disregard of the principles of
good government that should be set
down on by the voters. 1t shows that
the whole fabric of state politics as
reared by LaFollette and his henchmen
is so flimsey that the first good, healthy
breath of indignation let out by the
public will entirely demolish it,

THE following is taken from the Mil
waukee Journal of Wednesday, and the
sentiments thus expressed are those of
a good many other republicans "B.
f. Mcmillan, one of the best known
Republican lumbermen in the state,
gave his opinion in this way: oh, |
guess | will join the church and attend
steadily until after election. My party
has left me, but | have quite lot of
company left. When some piece of
machinery in the mill annoys me do
you think / burn the mill? No, just
yank out that piece and throw it away.
That's what | win do now. Gov. La
Toilette amt big enough to throw me
out of the Republican party, but shall
do my best to dump him.

One advantage a president has, if h

One advantage president has, if he
loves notoriety, is that every little thing
he does is reported in the newspapers
under big head lines. When Mr.. Roos-
welt kills wild cat, or wild pig, the
universe is duly apprised of the fact,
and that instantly, by the vigilant press.
The other day Mr.. Bryan attended
fair in Nebraska As he was leaving
the grounds he saw big ruffian pound
ing the life out of smaller man.
Bryan seized the fellow by the collar
and raised him up and then flung him
off The ruffian did not relish this treat
ment and drew a knife and went for
Bryan, but the latter grabbed his wrist
and gave il such wrench that the knife
dropped on the ground, after which
Bryan picked him up and threw him
over the fence The news was pub
lished in the daily papers, but with no
attractive display of type. Now if it
had happened to be Mr. Roosevelt who
did that the newspapers would have
had special fonts of headline type made
for the occasion. The press dispatches
told us that MIR. Roosevelt came home
after four days campaigning in the South

MANY jokes are made about the ex-
posi- of Messrs Buckstaf and Stout
of the methods pursued by Gov. La
Toilette to raise money from the in
dependent book concerns By the saeri-
fce of Supt Harvey, and perhaps The
Times has been rs prone 10 that sort
of thing as anyone else sUt il is really
avery serious matter, and will SO be
considered by the people Of Wisconsin.
The people Of Wisconsin, love justice
and fair play aud have no use for
shsms-no matter to what party they
may give adherence--and there is little
question but they will rebake at the
ballot box the methods employed by
Gov. La Toilette to obtain funds for his
denomination. It is simply political
debsuehery. and as such should be
repudiated by decent men Of all parties.

Burt Williams is a young man of
