AN OLD STORY.
[ Manson Journal

Some years ago there lived in Man
son a young man. then in his teens.
He was to all appearance a bright
lad but averse to work. The only
kind of work he would do was to
These places were his home and loaf
ing place. Honest hard work he would
not do. He managed some way to wear
pretty decent clothes and had all the
appearance of getting his money easy.
In his way he was a little dandy. He
became a good billiard player and a
fair poker player. These with the
added accomplishment of being able to
stand UP to the bar and swallow a
glass of whisky with one gulp and
never bat an eye were his principal
and you might say sole education. We
knew the young man well and often
wondered what would be the autcome
of his life. Time passed and the Sc
date life of a small country town was
too slow for him. He moved to a larger
town. which of course was no effort for
his accumulations could at any time be
packed in a very small trunk. Where
did this young man go when he went
away. II WOULD not Iuke wise
man or philosopher to guess. The
saloons and gambling houses of that
town We're his natural rendezvous.
That was where he went and that has
been his home since he left Manson.
Occa sionally we saw him. usually well
dressed and apparently prosperous.
Not infrequently there were reports
from police courts of night spent in
the city bastile. 1t was not long before
this young man commenced to show his
fast life The healthy, ruddy cheeks
became bloated, the body puffed up
and the mark of the drunkard was
upon him as II he had an advertise
ment pinned on his clothes. Now at
the age of 40 or even less. he is a
wreck, ruin and what should have a
useful life is wasted, manhood gone
and the end not far off. This young
man Is good example of the boy who
could get a living without work.
There are whole lot of boys trying to
do the same thing. You can make up
your mind that the young man who is
getting living without work is fire.
uuenter of gambling denS and in time
If he is not successful in this will not
hesitate in the dark of tbs night TAX
ing what belongs to some one else even
IL he has to do 1t by force.

the DANGER OF THE FUTURE.

! Marshalltown. June "a. = Editor
Times Republican: Reciprocity VS..
Standpatism has had it's day In court,
and the national republican party has
! been brought back to it's noorings from
whence it drifted by the reciprocity
plank OF the platform of the 1910
| convention. We in Iowa ought TO
| take care OF the material well
| fare of our state. and this lies wholly
! in securing and holding foreign mar
/ kets for our meat and breadstuffs,
without such foreign outlet beef and
| pork would not bring cents a pound
| until the supply was lesssened TO be
| within the demands of domestic con-
sumption. Now, reciprocity was saved
| TO the platform by the president, for he
alone could and did control, and by
Senator Allison. whom he called IN to
advise The Iowa representative on the
resolutions committee lined up as he
1 was instructed on the wrong side, but
| those on the subcommittee from New
| York, Massachusetts, Ohio. Indiana,
| Illinois and Minnesota saved the plank
! from Pennsylvania, Iowa, Wyoming,
! Idaho and California; we have no COM
! plants, for men must differ, and no
harm was done. Let us now join In
holding up the hands of President
| Roosevelt.
| II was the sugar trusts--there are
| two of them, the old one and the sugar
beet trust that so perplexed President
Roosevelt in getting the Cuban reel
procity from congress. Let the demand
of public opinion be always behind the
| ~ q
| needful to enable the president to ar
/ range new outlets for our products.
| When he elect a president we chance it
| whether we gel one that Will stand for
| Justice between the people and the
| trusts and combines, and the same Is
| true of a governor; Kind providence
| has given us Roosevelt and Cummlns;
| they have both shown that they only
know tho right and the people can
| trust them and should love them for
the enemies they have made, and look
| out to get successors as good.
| The standpatters gather consolation
| because immediate tariff revision was
| not demanded III the plank, and those
| thinking the time has come when the
rates of duty should be readjusted, as
| mentioned in the platform, are content
| so the plank happily has the merit OF
pleasing both sides. Governor Cum
Minis and the other 'reyisionists' aim
| at the schedule of the tariff on manu-
features OF iron and steel and behind
| this schedule the standpatter stands
shoulder to shoulder with Rockefeller
and Morgan, who control the steel trust
| in demanding to be let alone.
Now, Mr.. Editor. not knowing how
congress would deal with this schedule,
whether it might not revise up instead
of down on the rate OF dnty, and know
ing how potential trusts are when only
| the dear people are opposed TO them. i
cannot get excited over this revision
question except when 1t can be made a
| lever to promote and extend our mar
kets abroad Should the United King
| dom ever levy q duty on our SOIL or
meat products a concession would have
| to be wrung from the trusts on this and
! similar schedules of manufactures IN
aid of our trade in that country.

One Good Argument

Is that the scenery along the line Of
the Erie railroad is unequalled for
beauty and charm. There are many
others. Three fine trains daily to the
east. Excursion rates. Free stop

from the committee on resolutions and
was approved with equal unanimity

The Omaha Bees chief wonder is
how Iowa could have esciped without
having something forced upon some or
its statesmen.
"Overzealousness in the advocacy of
principle many times works to the
detriment of that principle, declares
the Charles City Intelligencer. We be-
lieve that today the overzealousness or
many republicans in their advocacy OF
the tariff principle OF the party as the
cause and foundation of all good is
working to the detriment of that prln-
ciple."
The Forest City Summit notices that
s'the papers in Iowa that crticise Gov

their home state who advocate little

1t was the belief OF the Des Moines
Capital in 1901 that wherever tariff
duties are essential to the growth or In

dustry the republican party Will favor
n tariff in its behalf But whenever an
industry has outgrown the swaddline
clothes Of infancy and has become SO
powerful and strong as to control the
entire output of the product which
happens to be its particular specially,
public opinion is going to demand the
abolishing OF the tariff duty. Why?
Simply because 1t has outgroWn the
need OF protection to which it was just
lv entitled In its younger and tenderer
days This is protectionism. This is
