of protection to American producers
and has no quarrel with the system, but
like thousands of republicans he be-
lieves that times change, that pro-
tective tariff once beneficent can be-
come unnecessary and actually harmful
in time and that it should then be
changed. He believes with the late
Mckinley that the industries of this
country have grown to such magnitude
that we must enlarge their field by in
creasing foreign markets, or stagnation

been heralded as the "handmaiden" of
protection to perform the service of en-

Cummins believes in reciprocity, but
also believes that no foreigner is going
to be fool enough to give us something
for nothing and hence that il we ever
get any reciprocity veil have to give
something in return. Whenever we do
this we have destroyed protection
by that much which we give in
exchange. Cummins says that unless
we admit this we viii have to abandon
reciprocity. 1t would seem that this
expression of the governors would be
automatic. yet his enemies will, with
one breath, shout for the reciprocity of
Blaine and Mckinley and Roosevelt
and damn Cummins for trying to de-
stroy protection. The issue before next

IMAGINARY FOES OF PROTECTION.

The Des Moines Capital makes COM
plant that @the editor of the Mar
shalltown Republican can see
nothing in the tariff discussion in Iowa
excepting an attempt to assault Gov
ernor Cumnins' This is certainly an
Unfair view to take of the situation.
Not a voice has been raised against the
governors unanimous denomination"
When such personal enemies of the
governor as the editor of the Capital
attack the language OF a platform
which they specifically applauded one
year before and when the Texas steer
of that same editorial faction bawls out
the issue to be the question whether the
next new senator from Iowa shall be
free trade lawyer politician or a
Roosevelt republican" the insinuations
and sneers are too apparent to disguise
the fact that future senatorial sue
cession and. the present governors

more to do with these new found dan

real fear of danger itself.

the ill-concealed hypocrisy of the SER

from the audience. The editors who

the soRDlD VIEW.

Christmas gifts Were more numerous
than ever this year. and a large num-
Der of them were more expensive.
Doubtless there are a few who, like
Old Scrooge see a great waste in such
an observance of Christmas, tho, they
may not openly condemn it. But the
making OF each of these gifts gave en-
pioyment to workmen and helped to en-
large the Industrial field and swell in
dustrial effort. Some of the little to-
kens had little practical and as little
money value, but they put coin into the
purses of workingmen, and made many
child happier than the gift of for
tune. 1t is true also that the great
bulk of holiday gifts We're of the prae-
teal kind. such as the recipient needed
to add to his comfort and convenience,
and such as he would have been IN
duced by his necessities or desires to
purchase In our enlightened age this
form of giving is considered the ideal
way, for it serves a triple purpose in
making the giver happy, the recipient
comfortable and the dealer satisfied
with sales. 1t is in the home circle,
where busy women plan remembrance.
hand made tokens, that activity, skill
and happy hearts are blended in the
effort to show good will to friends at
home and abroad. They know 1T is
more blessed to give than to receive
tho both giver and receiver may be
equally Joyous. This phase of gift
making opens a broader and better
view OF the subject, but the sordid view
justifies all the holiday effort. What
are we here for more than to give
Christmas presents. to make our fell

assist each other in lighting the way

cUMM1Ns AND HIS VIEWS.
Esprit Lake Beaoon.l


The editor of the Beacon was not
drawn to Az .Cummins thru considera
tons at all resembling personal admir-
alton or devotion. There was no debt
political. He yearned for no reward
that could possibly be earned thru po-
iitical service. If he understands his
own and mind, ambition had no part in
the process. The only reason that can
be urged for the support given by this
paper and its editor to this man Cum
Minis Is the firm belief that he is headed
in the right direction, as the political
field Is regarded in this quarter. He
stands for principles and policies in the
state and national life that in this judg-
ment should obtain. He Is willing TO
get out in the open and fight for his
convictions. His political fortunes seem
to he subordinate to the principles for
which he stands. He is able to main

cuBANs WILL KEEP CITIES CLEAN.

The officials of the United States
taught the Cubans one good lesson that
| is likely to bear continuous fruit-that
| of the necessity of cleanliness of cities.
Ii will be recalled that Havana was
purified In way thai promoted public
health fostering filth in a climate like
that of Cuba is especially hazardous;
and hence, guided by the example of
our officials, the lower house of the Gu
ban congress has passed measure
authorizing President Palma to use
S400, 600 to aid city governments of the
island In maintaining the good sani-
tary conditions which prevailed at the
close of the United States interven-
ton. The passage of this measure in
the radical house of the Cuban congress
is considered to be due almost entirely
to the stand which the press of the
United States has taken on the report
of First Secretary Sleeper. OF the
American legation, that the sanitary
conditions were retrograding.
Americans who have been in Havana
for four years and have seen the city
when 1t was filthy, and have also seen
IT cleaned and kept clean by the mill
tary authorities, nearly all agree that
there has been no decline in sanitary
conditions there. This is entirely due
to the fact that the old budget In force
under the military government has
been kept up under the surveillance of
DIR. Carlos Ffnlay, new attending the
sanitary congress in Washington, and
DIR. Barnet, both Of whom received their
training under Major Gorgas.
Persons arriving here from the In
Iterior and east coast cities of Cuba say
that while 1t is a fact that sanitary
|conditions are not so good as they We're
under the American administration, 1t
lis due not to the faul. of the city gov
eminent but to the state, which cut off
the funds which were formerly appro-
priated for this purpose.
With the fund now voted the presi-
dent these cities WILL 1t is thought, be
speedily brought back to their former
good condition. Such condition will
certainly be more inviting to those who
contemplate becoming permanent or
even temporary residents of the island.

He WILL NOT DANCE.

Wide publicity has been given the
statement that Governor Mickey, of
Nebraska, declined to attend the inau-
gurai ball, given especially in honor of
such an official. because of his objection
to dancing. Doubtless he has been con-
denned for this as minded
bigot, but his published views clear the
atmosphere and do him credit. In dis
cussing the subject the governor said:
Il Informed the corr mittee that had
no objections to the ball. but that I
would decline to have anything to do
with it or take any part in it.
T do not object to people dancing IL
they SO desire, but as for myself it is
against my principles TO indulge in such
pastime. ana a Methodist and have on
several occasions been honored by the
conference. My church prohibits dane
ing and, therefore, shall not take part
In any dance. Understand, however,
that I do not think it makes a man
worse because he dances. / have no
objections to any man dancing. It has
nothing to do toward forming my opin-
Ion of a man.
II was reared differently from some
people and as citizen would not take
part in dance, and as Governor
Mickey win not. Tho, If the CONNER
cial Club desires to have ball 1t would
not make any difference to me, and /
would offer no objection. However, /
would not take part.
In according to others the right of In
dividual opinion and action on this sub
ject the governor properly asserts the
privilege CT acting according to his own
convictions and professions in matter
in which he is chiefly concerned. Gov
ernor Mickey lays down the rule that
as he would not dance as a citizen he
viii not as a governor. Such rule OF
conduct in personal matters can not be
denied public officials. Too many OF
them are willing to throw principles to
the dogs when clother with office and
certainly come in for greater censure
than the new governor of our neighbour
ing state.

DON'T LIKE GERMAN CARP.
waterloo ReDlIhlicap

1t seems the people up at Atlantic,
Iowa, have a much more exalted opin-
ion of the German Carp" than our
folks do down this way. The telegraph
relates a sorrowful tale of how a far
mer near that city had lost 1907 carp
from his pond since the cold weather
began, many of them over a foot long,
and fat and in fine shape. A mink is
accused of the wholesale murder and
the loss to the farmer is figured at $50.
Carp must certainly bea luxury up that
way, for down this way that many
carp would be valued at about 80 cents.
If a few of those carp eating mink"
should stray down this way they would
be allowed to eat carp to their hearts
content without molestation.
