REPuD1ATING ALLISON.
Register and Leader.l


Refusal to mention the platform of
1903, after all the debate that has been
had, will be construed as reputation
of that PLATFORM That is Mr.. Per-
kins' conclusion in the Sioux City
Journal, and it is one that no fair
minded republican can escape. A re-
pudiation of the platform is In Mr..
Perkins opinion offering the charge OF
unfaithfulness and insfncerity against
Senator Allison, who gave his name TO
the platform and who endorsed 1t be-
fore the convention as embodying the
principles and policies of the repub-
lican party from the day of it's birth
down to the present moment.
Mr. Perkins and he is certainly in a
position to know, says:
1T was prominent in the mind of
Senator Allison that If platform ex-
preston could be agreed upon in 1903
ii would serve the party up to the time
of the adoption of a national PLATFORM
which all Iowa republicans would ac-
cept as authoritative for 1904. This
was understood by him, and by 9TH
ers to be the agreement
This confirms the understanding that
prevailed at the time the compromise
of last year was arranged. Senator AL
lison's purpose, and the purpose of 9TH
ers who co-operated with him, was not
merely to patch up a temporary truce
for single convention, but to assist In
adjusting the differences that existed
between the republicans Of the state
with view to harmonious representa-
-. a.,
would not have been worth anybody's
while to devote much time to COM
promise tariff declaration in conven-
ton that had to deal with purely state
matters, IL it had not been that the
rational campaign was impending and
that 1t was important to Iowa as well
as to President Roosevelt not to have
split at a time when it would be inn
possible to avoid dragging it into the
national contest.

gallons to 1898 gallons per citizen.
Coffee, too, has grown from SIS pounds
per citizen in 1881 to 1919 pounds in
1903. Tea, however is less used. AS
Cne- fourth OF the population uses alco-
holic beverages. the average annual

The use OF spirits steadily increases,

use of stimulants.

a SHAMEl EsS CASE.

There is peculiar case on in the
law courts of Washington county,,
where an injunction has been issued by
Judge Scott whichenjoinsa 54-year-old
husband from endeavoring by threats
and coercion to force his 11-year- old
nearly two years, to live with him.
The story sounds like traveller
tale from Tfmbuctoo, more than like an
actual happening, in a civilized state.
Happily it does not begin in Iowa, but
IN Missouri, where at Lebanon John A.
Leeper. 81 years old, the husband OF
three previous wives, was married TO
Gertie Trusty, aged 3. The glrl
coaxed into the marriage by her
mother, and was too young to realize
what the sermon meant. Since they
came to Iowa the wife has been living
apart from Leeper who has threatened
her with the reform school and other
wise harassed her to live with him.
The injunction against Leeper was
procured at the instance of Brighton
residents who became cognizam of the
facts.
There is a depth OF depravity in all
this that does not belong to Iowa. The
shameless motherhood that could turn
q 9-year- old daughter over to the en-
hrncas ne an old man sufficiently de-
PRAYED to marry child does not be-
long to this state. The punishment of
the crime, If 1t may be accomplish
ed, however, belongs here and If thers
is any way known to the courts where
by Leeper may be given penitentiacy
sentence the machinery should be SCI
in motion Immediately. He is a stencn
in the nostrils of the state and a NUS
ance to be put away from the sight
and smell of decency.

WHY NOT TELL THE TRUTH

The Waterloo Courier, progress
i've standpat" paper, which means one
of those that have progressed from the
hope of securing a place as delegate
at large for j. w. Blythe, to demand
for the reputation of the 1908 platform,
says:
In the future no Iowa platform nor
any part of it, should be framed to as
sist the candidacy of any individual or
TO satisfy any small faction of the
party. Iowa republicans should de-
clare their repubicanism."
The Courier's sruthfulness of asser-
ton is equaled by its mendacity OF in
situation. Ii is true that no Iowa plat
form should be framed to satisfy any
small faction of the party or. indeed,
primarily to assist the candidacy OF
any Individual The insinuation that
ANY previous Iowa platform was 80
formed is, in the face of the evidence.
plainly and gratuitously mendacious.
The Couriers woltish hatred of thu
governor should not be permitted to
carry it's editorial comment outside the
limits of truthfulness and common
sincerity. There is really no more eN-
cuse to be made for false insinuation
In politics than in business. The plat
forms of which the Waterloo paper
denies the republicanism We're the ex-
preston of two-thirds of the republic
cans of the state. And this the Courier
knows from the evidence.
1t is idle to assert or insinuate that
three republican state platforms which
have been made and approved with
unanimity by republican state conven-
tions were foisted upon the republi-
cans of the state by small faction. II
is quite as idle to claim that these
platforms were built about any single
candidacy, or that a state convention
failed to write its sentiments into the
platform. The fact is that the mass
of republicans made these platforms in
the face and against the opposition OF

form made by Iowa republicans should
be demolished at the demand of small
faction and to favor the purposes of in
dividuals, than that platforms should
be framed to assist individual cand:-
dacies or to satisfy factions.

TRUCKING THE LEGISLATURE.

Senator Courtwright's stand on the
drainage bill may, as is reported, be-
come the basis of a boom for the gov
ernorship but his cunning coup of yes
terilay when he secured legislation
which will enable the east side of Wat
erioo to control that municipality is
not likely to create an undivided senti-
msnt in his own city, favorable to any
gubernatorial aspirations the senator
may cherish.
Not long ago when the Courtwright
blu was up, all Waterloo invaded the
state capitol with argument and evil
dence for and against the bill. West
~ aterloo was successful In defeating
Its passage The matter was consider
his Time however and when Represen-
tative. Teachout proposed an amend
ment 10 the code consisting of chang

representation in cities Of the first class
divided by river, it was passed in q
hurry by the house and rushed thru
the senate. After it was done the leg
islature woke up to the fact that Sem
ator Courtwright had gained his point
and East Waterloo had seized the reins
OF municipal power. And that night il
showed on the west side.
Success gained by such means

average citizen favorahly. 1t is in line
with the snap caucus and other sharp
practices that the commonalty con-
dennis. To gain point by conniving
against the real sentiment Of the as
se1nbIy, to make law while the qegisla
ture Is mapping, is not the highest
standpoint of craftsmanship. Without
doubt West Waterloo will consider it
self cozened and betrayed and there
candidly seems to be considerable
ground for such a sentiment.

question hardly answerable now.
"Now as to the value to Woodward

who cannot launch out in this way,

the keeping from our territory of SIM

PULPIT Comment

However much we may wish 1t We're
otherwise. it is fact that the Christ
ian church is being superseded in the
faith and love of millions. In both Eu-
rope and America the unchurched class
is steadily and swiftly growing. For
authority this class no longer looks to
God in heaven, but to man on earth. for
instruction it turns to the press; plat
form and school: for charity it leans
upon the public bureau; for fellowship
it joins the fraternal orders or goes to
the club or public house; for the gospel
of peace, plenty and perfection, it list
ems to the socialist; for salvation it APP
peals to the labor union, the financial
powers, the social set, the political in
siders We who love the church and
wish to assist in perpetuating its life
must do something more than recount
the virtues of its founders. When the
church breaches a sane, sensible and
saving gospel, when it's followers are
Christians in fact as we'll as in name, 1t
will be attractive and 1T will attract.
Sociological teachers tell us that a
man is so hedged about by environ
ments that he is not responsible for
what he does Everybody who is do
ing wrong has good excuse because
somebody else has failed to do right.
Mankind are thus made out to be like
a set OF wooden pins-one falls and
they all fall down. Unionism has fos-
tered this teaching until a man dares
not say his soul is his own without
asking permission of his union. Such
teaching is pernicous beyond calcula-
ton. 1t detroys individuality, it under
mines the most solid and fundamental
foundations of liberty. Mankind be-
comes a weak willed, flabby. inverte-
brate. Out of such condition you get
no strong, self-reliant independent
thinker.
Private judgment is not something
essentially evil and wicked, as many
non Catholics imagine we maintain but
something possible only when man
stands face to face with views, opin-
ions and hypothesis. In view of GER
tain principles or certain facts, 1t sim
ply ceases to exist. Universal liberty
of thought is impossible. for every
principle and fact of reason and reve-
lation that we acquire must necessari-
~ restrict our liberty of thinking the
opposite. The Catholic church holds
that no one has right to believe what
is false any more than he has right
TIC do what is evil.
