not sarcastic-it is really stupid
A year ago the anthracite coal trust
was denounced as one Of the trusts
sheltered by the tariff. Take off the
duty, it was then proclaimed and coal
prices will drop Immediately. The
tariff has not only added to the selling
price, but it kept out the British who
were pictured as dying for chance to
come in and give the American people
cheap coal. We heard a great deal
then about coal from Nova Scotia and
elsewhere. Let in the British" was
the cry.
Well, we let in the British. The duty
On coal was suspended. 1t is now free
free to. come from any place on
earth. We have in coal ''the compe-

have it. 1t is even dearer. Have the
British failed us?
1t looks that way for now the same
papers are beginning to abuse Attorn-
ey General Knox. Isn't it an ac-
knowledgement that free trade is not
a cure for the trusts-and that pro-
lection is not shelter for them? It
looks that way to the average man.

SOUND TARIFF DOCTRINE.

The tariff doctrine expounded by
Congressman w. P. Hepburn before
the Union county republican
convention at Creston Saturday is of
the .'all-wool sort" Such an address
as that delivered by the eight. district
representative in congress, can never
be amiss in a republican gathering
1t is, especially refreshing at this time
in Iu"a because of the attempt that
is being made by the opponents Ut PRO
lection 10 discredit what is lsno gn IS
the ''stand pat" policy of it's ardent sup
porters. Mr.. Hepburn does not deal
in glittering generalities or phrases
that are misleading, but in The plain
unvarnished statement of facts and fig
ures that cannot be successfully dis.
puted.
Declarations made by state conven-
tions concerning the tariff when Iowa
republicans were thinking little of this
question because the conventions were
for the consideration of state purposes
only" says Mr. Hepburn, has given
cause for considerable bitter discussion
on some phases of the question. Iowa
republicans have always recognized
that in the national platform was con-
tanned the doctrine of The partY on It's

1t is a fine example, but, unfortu-

MORAL COURAGE
VS.. THAT OF VIM. r. HEARST.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: The Presi-
dent of the United States delights in,
a display of physical courage. He
kills lions, BEARS animals of all kinds.
He jumps big horses over big fences.
There is hot the slightest doubt that
he could have madeia reasonably good
living in circus or Wild West show.
The people of the United States have
accorded to Mr.. Roosevelt sincere adj
miration for his undoubted physical
courage. 1t would be interesting to
see now whether he will deserve from
the people admiration for moral cour-
age.-Chicago American.
1t was hardly necessary to append
the credit line to the above editorial
extract. 1t has the American "ear-
marks" and would be recognized I'M
der almost any circumstances.
Ever since VIM. R. Hearst founded
the American, that paper has been
attacking the character of Theo-
dore Roosevelt. 1t included him in the
disgraceful willie and His Pa" car
ICONS, which outraged decent Journals
ism during the last year of the late
William McKinley's life. Subsequent
to the assassination of the President
and after the country had blazed up
in wrath at the Hearst blackguardism,
the cartoons and editorials were dis
continued and in their places ap-
peared sloppy editorials eulogizing
both men.
Now, when public indignation has
died out, the Hearst papers have again
opened up their mud batteries. The
individual who aspires to the demo-
cratic nomination for president sane
Sc, ,>;,.st ne 1ic.y,, Tn ~
ing SO does he show one particle Of
moral courage?
Moral courage, forsooth! Would
William Randolph Hearst dare, on the
eve of campaign, to oppose the wish.
es of a strong and resourceful labor
union even when he knew he was on
the side of the federal labor law? Not
by long shot. He would cravenly
permit the ill-advised law of a local
organization to reign superior to thu
law of his own country simply fol
| fear of losing few labor votes.
| In Roosevelt's case his very moral
courage has made friends for him
among the laboring classes. They are
able to understand and admire man
who is not afraid to press the truth
home to them, and they are smart
enough to realize that if Roosevelt is
fair enough, in the face of what seem
ed loss of political support, to insist
on the rights of one class of people,
that he will go just as. far in uphold
ing the rights of other classes. They
know that, in every point where their
demands and claims are just and in
accordance with the law of the land,
Roosevelt is with them as strenuously
as he is in any other matter.
Let Mr.. Hearst show better moral
courage, if he can.
Ottumwa semi-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1899-1903, 1903-08-18

many Legitimate children have claim
ed white fathers as in the days of the
slavery in the south. Furthermore,
warranted by cold facts, the New York
Evening Post makes the following
statement: THE Afro-American coun-
Gil only limited at the truth when it said
that in some sections of the country it
means death for negro to attempt to
protect the females of his family" If
this is the respect the southern white
men pay to southern women white or
black, it is no wonder that the crime of
assault is coming home to them with
ali the blackness of it's atrocity.
Notwithstanding the statements of
Mr.. Graves or any who think like him
it is recognized by the best students of
the race question. both north and south
that mob violence will never right the
wrong nor will it in any great degree
act as deterrent. There never has
been time and there never will be a
time when the commission of murder
will atone for criminal assault.
What is needed in the south as we'll
as in all other parts of the country is as
suggested recently by President Roose-
welt in his letter to Governor Durbin,
speedy enforcement of the laws in
such cases, in the regular channels of
law and by the duly elected officers of
the law, with the elimination of all
trifling delays and technicalities that
often work to the thwarting OF JUS
tice. Then let the southern whites
and the educated blacks join in their
demand that this course be pursued
in every case of crime. assuring each
and every criminal, regardless of col
or, equality before the law, and the
greatest check upon crime will have
been brought into use.
