Sometime nations will learn to SUBJ
init their disputes to arbitration. but
| 1t will be when civilization has ceased
TO be mere gilded barbarism,' asserts
the Brooklyn Chronicle.
The Glidden Graphic believes out
side the selfish devotees of the Ameri-
can Protective Tariff League and in
Iowa those who are maliciously inciin-
ed toward the governor there is sub
stantial agreement that reciprocity is
a natural complement of protection and
that the tariff ought to be administered
with the interests of the whole country
in view"
The Eagle Grove Eagle which rs fer
ninst" the inebriate asylum has mot
Witnessed any particular scramble for
the credit of securing the enactment Of
the law establishing q boozer's para
disc at Knoxville. 1t took s125,000 of the
sober taxpayers money and they can
still pay their own doctor bills for
the cure of all the Ills flesh is heir to
except where a debility results from
an effort at overlap consumption. If
he is merely unfortunate the state leav-
es him to the county poor farm, bat If
he is q victim of his own transgression
the state is to provide a free home and
u free cure"
The Clarion Democrat says 1.-THE
first thing prohibition state does is
to enact laws that can be easily evaded
and were not designated TO he enforc-
ed; the next ds to establish jag fest
asylum at the expense of the taxpayers
at Knoxville where boozer's can be I'M
Jagged free OF cost to them" and then
bursts forth, good business that!
Good morals! Good Lord! Good dew
ILL.,"
The Manson Democrat has nothing
against Judge Parker as man or a
candidate; in fact DIT is of the opinion
that he is a good democrat, but the
Idea of the east controlling the demo-
cratic party all the time is distasteful.
The west is big enough and smart
enough and powerful enough to have
something to say about who shall be
the candidate, and now Is the time for
the west to assert it's rights by nomi-
mating Mr.. Hearst"
The Webster City Journal remarks
that Senator Delivers recent speech
doesn't sound much like the speech
made in the senate something like a
year ago when the same gentleman
said that duties We're placed high by
Nelson Dingley and his committee on
purpose that they might later be pared
down. Then" the Journal says, Gov
ernor Cumndns was in control of Iowa
and advocating tariff revision and con-
tending that the tariff sheltered mon
opoly; now Governor Cumnins and his |
strange yagaries are relegated to the |
rear and true blue republicanism has
control again. Senator Doldver owes
an apology and recently |
he squared himself"
IF the republican national conven-
ton ds silent on reciprocity. and the |
national convention has the |
political saga city to endorse 1T, the re-
publican party will be put upon the
defensive from the start asserts the |
Webster City Freeman Tribune. TT Is |
not likely that Roosevelt could be de-
feated. as he DIS platform unto him
self, but along about 1908 the repub-
ican party would find itself up against |
A hard proposition If wise counsel
prevails at the Chicago convention the
of Blaine, Mckinley. Kasson
md Cummins will be endorsed. 1t is
wise, in the days of safety and security, /
o build for the future. Moreover, re-
,ulblicans can not afford to let the
democrats sidetrack them upon this is-
sue. 1t is popular with the people and
$ quite sure to grow din public favor
With we'll directed discussion and even
empered presentation"
