PREslpENT AND REVISION.

Carroll Herald: II the leadership OF
President Roosevelt ia TO be followed
within the party there will be no legis'
lation along the lines OF tariff revision
the coming congress. The president
is the leader of his party and to him
we must look for guidance in lormu-
lating policies of administration. At
this time we have a president Of ec-
knowledged ability to deal with pub
lie questions, OF unprecedented force
OF character and undoubted courage.
There is a universal feeling that he
is impelled by the highest patriotism
In the discharge of his duties. It is
both natural and reasonable then that
we look to Theodore Roosevelt for
leadership on questions pertaining TO
government and public welfare.
President Roosevelt Is not in favor
OF tariff revision at this time. He Is
a protectionist of the most genuine
sort. In his annual message to con-
gress he made no reference to revision
OF the tariff, assuming no doubt that
II was best to let we'll enough alone.
Like other statesmen ne had reallgeu
that conditions cnange and schedules
may become inequitable. But tar.
III law is composed Of many parts and
Il would be difficult TO alter some or
them without possible harm TO the
business welfare OF the country. The
omission OF any reference In his last
annual message, and tho presumption
that he did not favor revision, are not
inconsistent with the presidents rec.
ord OF any OF his public utterances.
Nor is there anything upon which
10 base claim that the president has
changed his mind since his last annual
message. On the otner hand there Is
reason to believe tnat he is opposed
TO attempted tariff legislation at this
time. lie Is centrallzlng his efforts on
the question OF railway rate regula'
ton, and proposes to use all legitimate
means for the attainment Of this end.
The United States renators known to
be friendly with the president are
without exception opposed to present
revision. They know his wishes.
Members of the cabinet have taken
the same stand. It is therefore just
and reasonable 10 conclude that re-
vision has no place In the program
prepared by President Roosevelt.
It may we'll be asked then II 1t Is not
embarrassing to the administration to
urge revision in the name OF the re-
publican party. The most re-
cent ydeclc ration OF the party on Lie
question, the Chicago platform OF last
year, must be regarded the basis OF
genuine republlcanlsm, and upon that
Roosevelt anu his followers continue
To stand.

Editor Herald:-There seems TO be

THE new time CARDS
Important Change Announced In
Burlington Service

New time cards Jpn two or the
railways entering the city become Of
fectlye Sunday at twelve o'clock noon.
The greatest change effecting this city
Is upon the Burlington route. The
mixed train that brings so many pas
sengers TO this city from tho west has
been changed to arrive in this city at
1920 In place Of LAO as under the
present card. This will give people
almost four hours for business In the
city. The change was greatly desired
by oskaloosa business men, as under
the former card the tram time gave
people too little time In the city.
The time Of the other trains into
and out OF the city are not changed.
The new card on the Iowa Central
makes very little change locally. Pas
Eenger No. Is few minutes later in
the morning, and arrives at Albert
Lea about thirty minutes later. Pas
senger No. 0, south bound, Is fifteen
minutes later under the new card, ar
irving at FIVE o'clock and departing at
sos.
The Rock Island card has not yet
developed. sorne changes OF interest
in this city Will be maze, but they are
not yet announced.

The creameries of Iowa made S2,-
7O75SS pounds OF butter during the
past year. This is more than ten NH
lions more than was manufactured In
Iowa during the previous year. In
spite OF this astounding increase,which
is said to be general all over the Unit
ed States, the price Of butter remains
three cents higher tnan IL was when
there was less butter manufactured,
and none OF the dairy experts seem
prepared to explain this strange phe'
nomenon. The increase In the manu-
facture OF butter in this state is said
by State Dairy Commissioned Wright
TO be due to the fact that farmers are
continually adding TO their profitable
dairy departments.
