THE IOWA sTRADDLe.

DOTH FACTIONS of the Republican
~ party IN Iowa may reasonably
enough, from the standpoint Of the poll
tician, claim a victory in the tariff
plank of their platform. for neither has
won il. The plank Is a straddle, pure
and simple. a bid to catch all the Re
publican votes possible. Indeed, in view
Of the fact THAI the preparation Of the
plank was left to Senator Allison. it is
not surprising that no definite declara-
lion was made. 3ut the plank speaks
for Itself. Tt says:
Tariff rates enacted to carry this
policy Cthe policy OF protection) into ef-
feet should be just, fair and impartial,
equally opposed to for efgn control and
domestic monopoly, 70 sectional dis
elimination and individual favoritism.
and must from time to time be changed
70 meet the varying conditions incident
10 the progress Of our industries and
their changing relations in our foreign
and domestic commerce. Duties that
are too low should be increased, and
duties that are too high should be re-
duced."
The straddle in this plank is so obvi-
ous that 1t becomes Iaughable. Sen
1tor Allison has fairly outdone him
ielf. IL is a matter or common knowl-
,dge In Iowa that Mr. Allison has never
TeJ been pinned down 70 direct an
iwer to any question An old story
goes that once he was standing with
one Of his constituents watching a flock
81 newIy-sheared sheep go by. Think
lnS to win at least one direct answer
from the senator, the constituent re-
marked. Senator. those sheep have
lust been SHARED"
at looks like it on this side" was the
cautious reply.
While nobody seriously believes the
Democrats viii carry Iowa this fall it
is nevertheless certain that the tariff
plank in the Republican platform Will
not help that party. Political trim
mers" never have won much from the
American people. The voters like an
unequivocal statement, both from in
dividuals and from parties. They will
not like the cowardice that prompted
the insertion of the plank just quoted
into the Iowa platform
To say that duties which are too
low should be increased, and duties
which are too high should be reduced. +"
IS to state a perfectly apparent propo-
sition, one that is not worth the paper
it Is written on unless It is accompanied
by specifications. If. carrying out the
Cummins idea, the platform had said
that duties on foreign articles coming
into competition with trust-made goods
should be reduced or abolished, the
platform would have meant something.
BY the same token It would have
meant something if the reverse Of the
proposition, as favored oy the ultra
protectionists, had been inserted. As it
is. the platform means neither the one
thing nor the other.

young couple left for Denver, where

guests of Major and Mrs. George f.
Downey. After the autumn they will
make their home in New York.

dotted silk muslin over taffeta. The
skirt was accordion plated and the
bodice was exquisitely trimmed with
rare lace. She wore no veil, and a
simple bouquet of white roses was car

travelling costume Of bright brown

Will probably be murder and suicide
which occurred near Vernon yester-
day. Jack Yates and his father-in-
law, Elwood Cooper, engaged in a diff

Yates drew dirk and stabbed his
father-in-law in the left breast, cut
ting the shoulder blade in two, and
narrowly missing the heart. Cooper
was taken to physicians office,
where chloroform was administered
Yates thought he had killed his father

swallowed the contents. He is not ex-
pected to survive, neither is his ia
