governor of a state compelled to de-

will cohort of newspapers of his own

of his party and of Boss Blythe as we'll.
when the republican voters of the state
gave him $4,000 plurality and, when his
public speeches are entirely in accord
with the speeches of President Roose-

Is possible. but will harmony ever
come so long as the best element IN

unrestricted republicanism? Can we

CALLING NAMES.

The Cedar Rapids Republican which
is one OF the many Iowa dailies OPP
posed to the proposed state marshais
law objects TO the bill being considered
even In committee and says:
The fanatics who are pushing this
matter will probably assemble in force
in Des Moines this week. They will
make q good deal OF noise and they
will not be backward with their I'M
portunities. AS is often the case there
may be legislators who may want 20
give these people a hearing, have the
bill introduced and sent to the commit
tee. . - There isn't enough behind
this state marshal proposition to war
rant the Legislature in taking up a
single hour in discussing 1t. II the
measure Is introduced 1t ought to be
referred Immediately. and then the
committee to which the bill is referred
ought t0 meet and Immediately report
1t back with the recommendation that
1t do not pass. No speeches ought 10
be made upon 1t one way or the 9TH
er.
It Is the opinion of the Republican
that there is no more chance that Il
will ever be incorporated into our stat
utes than that We shall pass Law
legalizing polygamy or establishing
slavery. The Keokuk Gate City is dis
posed to share In that view and con-
tinues, this paper has too much con-
fidence In the Intelligence OF the general
assembly to apprehend for momen;
that the fanatical and vicious measure
In question will be enacted into
law
The Republican Is on record
against the proposition OF state COR
stabulary and has seen no good reason
to change Its position but this paper
recognizes that large number of sin
cere and reputable citizens favor the
measure believing that its incorpora-
ton into the statutes would result in
n better enforcement of liquor laws
Few OF the numerous members OF the
state marshals clubs scattered over
Iowa are fools or fanatics. They ara
generally OF the intelligent and honest
citiZenry of the state. Law enforce
ment measures. of whatever nature
rarely appeal TO the dangerous. thu
dissolute or the ignorant classes. Wha:-
ever question there may be OF Mr..
Rankin's motives there can be no ques-
tion OF the honest sincerity of the rank
and file of the state marshals move
ment. The expediency of the measure
has nothing to do with that. To at
tribute malice ignorance or fanaticism
to the average supporter of the Rankin
measure is manifestly unjust and unfair
on the face of 1t.
There is little doubt that the marshals
bill will fail but there is sufficient
force of opinion back of it TO give il
standing and claim proper consider
alton before the legislature. The move
ment is not in honesty to be compared
to law legalizing slavery or polyganiy
as the Cedar Rapids Republican in
suggests.
There is nothing of argument AMI

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW
An Educated q? CONSCIENCE.

A few Sundays ago the writer
! listened TO a sermon on conscience. The
reverend gentleman referred both to a
private and public conscience. Na,u-
rally he took the old. ofttime repeated
position of the infaHlbllty OF con-
science ny a guide for ,fls young and as
a safe thing for the public to be guild
ed by. He referred as all preachers
do. 10 the voice OF conscience as the
Voice OF God. Ard his audience and
this scribe expected to hear all these
statements and arguments as much as
we expect an orthodox treatment of
any text taken from the good book.
Another church. the Roman Catho-
lie. breaches the same thing. only the
voice OF God in this church Is heard
thru the pope. In this church the still
small voice" comes from the infaliib!a
lips OF man. And no reasoning Is
better than this. that only possible
present or future happiness is the re-
suit of needing the admonitons of
conscience.
And yet. to bring this almost uni
versally accepted theory OF conscience
as an infalfble guide as the pointer
out OF absolute right or wrong. to the
cold RULES of logic. not to say common
sense. is to show utter Inconsistency of
reasoning. If n conscience public or
private. can be educated. this Im-
plies possible change. II we admit
such thing as the elevation of. we
must necessarily admit the depression
OF conscience. The infa.Mhlity OF the
man (the pope) is no less Mlogicai' than
the infa!iibility of the Protestant con-
science In the religious wars. whose
atrocities We're the most horrible OF
history does any one doubt that the
victim dying for conscience's- sake
listened ito the voice or God?" But
can we doubt that the hereto hunter.
thu, one who applied the torch to the
pile OF wood enclosing the victim also
listened ito the voice of God?" Does
fathers lacked conscientious mo-
tives In burning wltches?. To bring
this down to the memory of many
readers. during our civil war, who
doubted the convictions OF conscience
that animated StonewaIi Jackson? And
still we know that half mile from
where Stonewall Jackson prayed a sin
cere request to the God of battles to
give the confederate hosts the victory
was union chaplain with equally
conscientious motives praying to the
same God for the destruction OF Stone-
wall jackson and the army bsfhind him. |

Then we will continue our recol

1nstructing his coachman to drive
to his apartments. James Blake closed
his eyes and attempted to calmly re-
view what had happened. He found
it impossible. One emotion held mas
terry over him-he was in love, nadly
and defiantly in love with Jessie Car
den. He thought of Arthur Morris
and hated him. He thought of John
Burt and pitied him. Neither should
stand in his way.
Could she be engaged to Arthur
Morris? Now that he had met Jessie
Garden he found himself unconscious
ly repeating John Burt's indignant
declaration: "It is lie; an infamous
lie" If an engagement did exist, it
should be as a barrier of mist to his
ardent progress. But she did not,
she could not love Arthur Morris.
Did John Burt love her? Did she
love John Burt!
These were the stinging, burning
questions which scared his brain. but
the clamor of his conscience was
drowned in the louder din of his pas
sion. He had not yet reached a point
where. with calm selfishness he could
voice the brutal aphorism of moral
and physical desperadoes: "All is
fair in love and war" He was eager
to clear himself of self-accused dis
loyalty to John Burt. and he clutched
at any defense which would serve as
possible justification or extenuation
John Burt was his friend. the found
er of his fortunes; the loyal. trustful
comrade to whom he owed all he was
or could hope to be. Blake knew this,
and yet. with the truth confronting
him and pleading for justice. the So

vaulting passion came readily to his
lips.

The original tariff plans submitted
to the committee on resolutions OF the
Democratic national convention. the
one that Bryan knocked out, read:
I'VE favor a wise. conservative and
business-like revision and a gradual
reduction of the tariff by the friends
of the masses and for the common
veal. and not by the friends of its
abuses, its extortions and its discrimi-
nations"
In its place was adopted the moss
back free trade declaration which has
been in every Democratic platform for
almost a century-that the tariff
should be restored to a revenue basis
and administered for revenue only.
This is the same plank that has been
voted down by the American people
repeatedly. and will be again. Par

Blake knew that John Burt was in

had forgiven his repeated mistakes
without offending him.
Blake strolled slowly through the
connecting offices and entered the
large room reserved for customers.
Those who knew the famous oper-

absent mindedly at a bulletin board
containing the early London and Paris
quotations. He read them, but they
had no meaning. He was thoroughly.
