that certain roots and herbs made into
a liquid extract, would help the majority

A COMPARISON.

| Nothing shows so well the difference
between the two big parties and the
spirit that pervades them as com
par1son OF the speeches made by lead
ers OF the opposing organizations. Wit
ness the address of David B. Hill. on
Wednesday and the speech made yes
terday at Marion, Kansas, by Senator
Fairbanks. Hills time was taken up
almost entirely with an arraignment of
President Roosevelt, the man. The
speaker sought to prove to his hearers
that the President is dangerous a
menace to the business interests of a
nation whose prosperity, after that
same mans administration, is the envy
and wonder of the entire civilized
world. Dave" Hill, the personification
OF peanut politics." attempted to poi
son the minGs of his hearers against
a President whose knowledge of inter-
national affairs, of business principles,
OF politics in general, is so much great
er than that of his verbal assailant
That comparison is useless.
Mr.. Hill, unable to produce any ar
guments on real political issues that
would have any effect upon the minds
OF his hearers, was forced to attack Mr..
Roosevelt's personality as last re-
sort. His challenge to William Allen
White, in which he charged that the
article written by the Kansan was in
spired by the President himself, was
tmm ediately answered by Mr.. White
with fiat, firm and prompt denial
Mr.. Hills address was, throughout, a
foolish, senseless. groundless attack
upon a man who is in every way his
superior.
On the other hand Senator Fair
banks, in the address with which he
opened the campaign in Kansas, spoke
IN straightforward manner upon the
issues OF the campaign. He needed no
little schemes to furnish him with ma
terial for speech. He made no at
tacks except upon the position of the
democratic party, which is, to be sure,
vulnerable enough. His address was
typical of the stand the republican
party takes. just as Mr.. Hills speech
showed the position of the demo racy.
The republicans welcome discussion Of
the issues of the campaign and are
anxious to let the people heac such a
discussion. The democrats On the
other hand, are Selling every oppor-
tunity to make little attacks upon the
President in an effort to influence those
who do not do the own thinking Thi.;
is point in the campaign that should
be given attention by first voters. They
should start right and by voting the
republican ticket they will be sire tc
get that kind of start.

LAcEYs REELECTION CERTAIN.


Davenport Times.-S. A. Brewster,
of Ottumwa, has been nominated by
the democrats Of the Sixth Iowa dis
trict for congress. 1t will be recalled
that Mr. Brewster was in the decided
minority in the first state convention
this year. In fact his own city went
against him. Considering this 1t is
clear that John f. Lacey will go back
to Washington with a larger majority
than ever before. Congressman Lacey
is one of the most conspicuous men
in the Iowa delegation and he has won
the position on merit. 1t will take a
bigger man on better platform than
MIR. Brewster on the present demo-
cratic declarations to cause Mr.. La
cey's retirement. The people of the
DISTRICT have faith in Mr. Lacey and
the republican way of doing things.
II there had been a chance to win 1t
may be taken fro granted that General
Weaver would not have allowed the
nomination to slip through his fingers.

ARGUMENT VEsUS ABUSE,

Chicago Evening Post.-In opening
the campaign for the democrats David
Bennett Hill said in his Binghampton
speech: I'VE want our republican
friends to do a little talking before we
attempt to show where they are at
fault" Secretary of War Taft prompt
ly accommodated Mr.. Hill in his adj
dress at Montpelier.
Mr.. Tafts address may be called the
opening speech of the republican
campaign, and If this and the Bing-
hampton effort by Mr.. Hill are to be
taken as samples of what Is to follow
it is difficult to see how the democratic
speakers and "spellbinders" can ex-
pect to win votes by their eloquence
and argument (?).
Mr.. Taft administered a richly de-
served rebuke to the democratic lead
ers-and doubtless he had Mr.. Hill in
mind-who have begun a campaign of
personal abuse rather than a discus
sion of national issues. And then he
did "a little talking" that should give
the man from Wolfert's Roost some
thing to think about, although we fear
not much opening to show where the
republicans are "at fault
Secretary Taft with dignity becom-
ing himself and his subject showed
how weak and pontless were the eff
forts of democrats and mugwumps to
charge the President with violations
of the constitution, how senseless the
attempts to brand him as recklessly
militant. how ridiculous the unwar-
ranted and uncharitable assumption
that "he has been playing a part for
three years, and is only awaiting the
success at election to throw off the
mask"
Then he talked of real issues-the
constitutional relations between the
President and congress; the Panama
case; Roosevelt's action in the anthra-
cite coal strike, and finally the re-
publican attitude toward the Filipinos.
To meet the arguments advanced by
Secretary Taft the democrats must
bring counter arguments. They must
do something to convince the people
that the present administration by
Judge Parker would be right.
They cannot hope to win votes by
running about crying Unsafe! I'M
SAFE" for no one will believe them.
They need not expect anv progress by
calling the President a violator of the
constitution, because the people will
only laugh at such nonsense And il
they wis hto make Parker's defeat
even more pronounced than present
indications predict they will continue
to make Theodore Roosevelt the OBJ
ject of their abuse. The republicans
are quite willing to have Roosevelt's
personality made an issue Of this

EsULTs OF A POLITICAL

i The democratic party when 1t came
into power increased the public debt

THE DAYS GONE BY.

o the days gone by! o the days gone
by!
The apples in the orchard and the
pathway through the rye;
The chirrup of the robin and the whfs-
tie of the quail
AS he piped across the meadows sweet
as any nightingale;
When the bloom was on the clover and
the blue was in the sky,
And by happy heart brimmed over
in the days gone by.
In the days goneby, when my naked
feet We're tripped
BY the honeysuckle tangles where the
water lilies dipped,
And the ripples of the river Tipped the
moss along the brink,
Where the placed eyes and lazy footed
cattle came to drink.
And the fitting snipe stood fearless Of
truant's Maynard cry,
And the splashing o fthe swimmer, In
the days gone by.

The music of the laughing lip the lus-
ter of the eye;
The childish faith in fairiesand Allad-

The simple soul reposing, glad belief
in everything,
For life was like a story. holding
neither sob nor sight,
In the golden, olden glory of the days
gone by.

JOHN p. WHITE.

Some Iowa newspapers are publish.
ing stories to the effect that John P,
White, of Oskaloosa, president of the
Iowa branch of the miners union, is
seriously thinking of resigning his of.
nee at the end Of the present fiscal
year, April 1, 1905. Mr.. White is in
poor health and may not, 1t is said, be
able to serve through the present
term. This announcement, if true,
will be deeply regretted by coal min
ers and coal operators alike through
out the state. Mr.. White has been
connected with the miners union for
several years, first as secretary treas
urer and later as president While
John P. Reese was president Mr..
White served as secretary-treasurer,
and under their administration the
union grew toybe more thoroughly re-
spected and better understood than ait
any previous time during it's existence.
Both these men and Edwin Perry,
who succeeded Mr. Reese as president
for the first year after his reslgna.
ton, have the respect and confidence
OF the coal operates and are known
by the miners as able, conscientious.
1ncorruptible officials.
Since Mr.. Reese has been commits.
sioner for the operators his dealings
have been largely with Mr.. White.
These two men are firm friends and
when Mr.. Reese became the represen.
tative of the employers their relations
did not change in the least. Each real
lied that the other was working con
scientiously and with an eye always
for the rights of both employers and
employees. For that reason troubles
between the miners and operators
nave been few and those which have
sprung up have been settled in
most amicable manner.
Mr.. White deserves much credit for
the position the miners union occu.
pied in Iowa today. Through his eff
forts and those of the men who have
worked with him, the organization
has grown from almost nothing to be
a respectable and respected. orderly
body OF men. Its affairs are managed
in business like manner. Justice is
It's Watchword. The coal industry is
managed by a board composed of rep
resentattves OF the miners and operat-
ors, who fix conditions. interpret the
scale and adjust difficulties with the
greatest measure Of good feeling al
ways pervading their gatherings.
Thus has one of Iowa's largest insti-
tutions been managed with mini.

ranks OF the union in Iowa it will be

that he will not be compelled to re-

OUR cHILDREN's HANDWRITING.

Chicago 1nter-Ocean. In the
face of such testimony against
1t as such practical and progressive
business men as A. c. Bartlett give,
the school board can hardly retain the
vertical writing system. There Is OBJ
vfously no use in boys learning to
write in wav that they must prompt
~ unlearn when they go to work in
business.
The complaint against the old
sloped or "Spencerian" hand, once all
most universal in our schools, was that
while easy to write rapidly and not
difficult to write compactly, with high
speed 1t tended, with many writer's. to
become llegible. The complaint
against the vertical hand now in vogue
is that, while legible, it is difficult to
write compactly and cannot be writ
ten rapidly.
The constant effort has been to de-
wise some universal system of pen
manship that would be at the same
time compact, rapid and legible This
effect cannot be said to have succeed
ed. A correspondent, whose letter is
printed in another column, suggests
that 1t has failed because it ignores
the physical and mental differences
between children.
This correspondent further suggests
that the solution Of the problem will
be found, not in experimenting with
or devising more systems of penman-
ship, but in discarding systems alto
gether and fixing attention on results.
That was what he had to do, through
much childish tribulation, in order
finally to be able to write rapidly and
legibly.
OF course, children in learning to
write must have models for imitation.
There seems no reason, however why
all children should not be compelled
to initiate the same models, regardless
OF results. They will not do so in their
practical work in life. They will take
the easiest way to get as near as pos
sible to the desired results
What is demanded of the schools is
that they teach all their pupils to write
rapidly and compactly when necessary
and legibly at all times. 1t seems quite
evident that no one system of penman
ship can give to all children the
training that will accomplish these re-
suits.
Then why should not the school
board discard systems altogether, as
our correspondent suggests, and in
struct the teacher that it is not of the
least consequence how their pupils
write SO that their writing be rapid,
compact and legible?

HAY TO THE YOUNG MEN.

Secretary John Hay, in his address
at Jackson, Mich, on the occasion of
the celebration of the semi-centennial
OF the republican party, made an elo-
quent appeal to the young men of the
country, one that should be read and
pondered seriously by all first voters.
1t is well worth repeating at this time
and is the advice of an able man. a
man versed in business lore. in knowl.

practical life. Mr.. Hay said:

men whose political life is beginning

Everything great done by this coun-
try in the last fifty years has been
done under the auspices of the repub-
lican party. Is not this a priceless
asset?
Lincoln and Grant, Hayes and Gar
field, Harrison and McKinley-names
secure in the heaven of fame-they
are all gone, leaving small estates in
worldly goods, but what vast posses
sions In principles, memories, sacred
associations! 1t is a start in life to
share that wealth.
"In our form of government there
must be two parties.
"But what young man would not
rather belong to the party that does
things, instead of one that opposes
them; to the party that looks up, rath-
er than down; to the party of the dawn,
rather than of the sunset?
For fifty years the republican party
has believed in the country and labored
for 1t In hope and joy;
"Has reverenced the flag and fol-
lowed it;
Has carried it under strange skies
and planted 1t on far-receding horizons;
Has seen the nation grow greater
every year and more respected;
HAS seen the country extend Its
