Topics Of the Times

When the governors argument be-
fore the rate committee was first de-
livered there seemed nothing for the
Cedar Rapids Republican and the Des
Moines Capital to do but commend his
position, which both papers did and
the Cedar Rapids paper used the Incl
dent for the basis of an editorial stat
ing that when the governor was right
standpat papers could say so. hence
their opposition to his reciprocity views
was one of principle and not personal.
But, since then the railway attorneys
now both these sheets are pounding
away at Cummins for libeling his state
in his claim that its factories were
handicapped by discriminating rail-
road rates. "He has undone all the
work of commercial bodies in the state
for the sake of politics. What
shame!" says the Republican. This
is change of editorial position more
rapid even than Lafe's flop on the
Iowa Idea plank.
The Iowa headliner who wrote "Ro-
iestyensky Located no doubt meant
:dislocated."
It would appear that. with the de-
mand for farm labor, with cheap trans
poratation to the harvest fields and an
assurance of an entire summers work
as good wages, there would be no ex-
cuse for able-bodied men loafing about
the cities doing odd jobs or depend
ing upon charity for livelihood.
Chicago is just congratulating itself
that dividends n the shape of improved

before the full completion of its inter-
cepting sewer system. by means Of

cRowDING IN TOWARD THE SPOT LIGHT.


In these days of spectacular theat-
ricals, the spot light" is one of the most
effective accessories of the stage. 1t
is a concentrated, shifting light that
follows the principal performer wher-
ever he moves and renders him con-
spicuous To stand under the spot
light is to be singled out and seen by
the audience.
There is a growing tendency to seek
the spot light of notoriety. This is
evident among all classes of men.
Shercliffe giving his testimony against
Tom Dennison and clustering of what
he would do the Oklahoma sheriff pos
ing in an Iowa courtroom panoplied in
all his artillery; DR.. Osler adding the
penalty of violent death to that of old
have chemically created the life that
DR.. Osler would destroy; Billy Sum
day and his sensational conferes send
ing all who dance to eternal damna-
ton; Tom Lawson confessing his own
sins and the venality of others; quasi
reformers to whom all present condi-
tons are vile and all public officials
perjured; society women attracting at
tention by aping the manners and Gus
toms of worse women; millionaires
without charity, drawing the public
eye by eXtravagant munifcence, the
extreme of all kinds and conditions,
and classes seeking the bright spot
on the stage, where the spot light falls
Love of public approval is an incentive
to accomplishment. The craze for no.
toriety is its perversion. The craving
is for publicity if not Of one kind Of
another
For much of this the newspaper
must bear responsibility. 1t is the spot
light on the stage of daily life, flash
ing for one moment upon a murderer
and the next upon philanthropist. 1t
bears upon diamond thief today,
traces Roosevelt's journey tomorrow
and brings Rockefeller or Carnegie in
to the high light next day. 1t would
be well to turn the current off the spot
light. The operator is willing to do it
if the public will let him.

THE BEST POLICEMEN.

Publicity is the best policeman. NO
good cause ever suffered from public
ity, and no evil cause but avoids it,
If possible. The intrusion of the news
paper into every nook and corner OF
public life is looked upon with alarm
by some, but is really one of the chief
means of social and industrial prog
ress. For all social, Industrial and po-
litical evils publicity gives the best
hope of remedy. 1t exposes wicked
ness, folly and bad judgment; it makes
crime and evil more difficult and less
attractive.
The evil doer needs secrecy for two
reasons, that he may accomplish his
crime and that he may enjoy its fruits
Anyone finds it hard to enjoy the pro-
ducts of his crime if the public knows
how he came by it. A fearless news
a standing army.
Some very good people object to the
publication of news items relating to
recreant clergymen. but the clergy as
individuals, must take it's chance with
the rest of the world. Religion is the
greatest moral force and the ministry,
as a. whole, one ot the noblest bodies
of men in the world, but the preacher
who pretends to the clerical office for
mercenary purposes. whose private
practices and public professions are at
wide variance, is hypocrite to be
despised and exposed.
All who use religion as a cloak to
conceal unrighteousness aae dispic-
able The modern Judas who sells his
Lord for his own benefit who hides
wickedness and immortality beneath
profession of purity, is u proper object
for publicity. and the sooner the church
rids itself of all such the better for its
interests.

HOME PRINT is A GREAT RELIEF.
[Baxter New Era.J
Several letters were received by the
New Era asking for information re-
garding the innovation of the home

The expense is about the same, but
there is more work to be done. That
all there is to it-insofar as work and
expense are concerned. OF course you
do not publish as large a paper nome

PROTECTION THAT PROTECTS.
Esprit Lake Beacon.]
All efforts to break the moral force
of the order to buy canal supplies on
the basis Of world competition will be
ultimately unavailing. The purchases
desired are such as have been under
sold around the world by American
manufacturers against competition
from everywhere. They are sold to
our own people at figures from ten to
thirty per cent above prices received
abroad. The order made by Secretary
Taft upon the advice of the president
will not mean the use of foreign sup
plies, but simply a gag to force the
trusts to use their own government
decently, as they use others. III other
words ito take their feet out of the
trough" This may cause much lamen-
tation on the part of the extortioners,
and it may be bitter pill to the polit-
ical defenders of shameful policy,
but it is the sort of a. square deal all
the people should stand for all the
time.
The belief is we'll founded that on
the part of the president the chief OBJ
iect in this order from the war depart
ment is to emphasize an exasperatlng
and immoral abuse of the tariff system.

! manufactures are through monopoly
and the prostitution of the tariff
sold at extortionate prices to our own
people, but an object lesson of this con-
spicuous character is needed to make
, an effective impression upon the pub
lie. Time was and not so very many
years ago, when such an order would
have been false to republican princi-
pies and disloyal to American interests.
When it was impossible for our wares
! to- be put upon the world market in
competition with foreign goods then
it was matter of plain duty to give
the American market to the American
manufacturer, even ad an advance in
price. This policy on the part of the
republican party and the American
people made it possible to SO develop
American resources as to give us prac-
teal supremacy in the world market.
This fact is absolute justification of
the tariff system upon which the
republican party staked it's life during
it's whole career. But this policy was
always accompanied by the pledge
that the purpose Of the tariff is to
cqualize home and foreign conditions
in the interest of American labor and
American capital, and that the duty
would be unnecessary when conditions
equalized themselves. 1t was never
dreamed in the earlier days that the
tariff would ever be used as a means
of holding up our own people thru the
practice Of extortion when our wares
were able TO defy competition in the
markets of the world.
Protection has been of inestimable
value to American interests, generally
and specifically. The protective sys-
TEN has by no means served it's pur-
pose in the development of American
resources. But it cannot too soon be
understood that the tariff cannot be
prostituted to the service of monopoly
and permitted to levy unjust tribute
upon the American people.

recommendation he favors buying
what Is known as the Cooke Seventy
class" engines, several of which arc
NOW in use on the line. and have prov
ed to be very satisfactory.
Mr.. Tittemore's request for more
power to move the roads tonnage
comes from the condition which nov
exists in the operating department of
the line. Altho every available engine
fit for service is working overtime. yet
the yards and passing tracks along al
most the entire line are filled with
loaded cars, which cannot be moved
for lack Of power. In the local yards
Tuesday the tracks were SO filled that
there was scarcely room enough to
switch in making up the trains.

closed a large contract with Minneap-

Der and shingles, destined from Pa
cific slope points and northern lum-
Der centers, via Minneapolis and Poor
