PEELED to bear the blame" remarks the

| After listening to LaFollette the

that "a man is eloquent only when
he has message. When he has some

1t is not the manner, but the matter
that counts"
Worse than the inequalities of the
tariff is the disposition ON the part of
the senators to ignore the voice of the
people," declares the Boone Republic

foreign competition and pay the Ann

News. IF they are it argues. Chang

tariff No one will dispute that prop
osition. 1t is purely matter of con-
ditions, not of policy, on which both
sides seem now to be agreed. Reliable
statistics of prices charged by Ameri
can manufacturers at home and
abroad, ought to settle the whole ques-
ton. Ii they can sell cheaper abroad
than they do at home the tariff should
be reduced. If they can't, protection is
still serving its original purpose.

AS to the charge that it is nothing
but graft for the popular speakers like
large fees for their lectures, the Daven-
port Democrat says: ut must be graft,
then, for any man to get his price for
any service he renders. But the COM

RURAL ROUTES AND ROAD DRAG
Addressing rural carriers more es-
pecially in northern and central Iowa
the T.-R. has, within the past ten days
sent the following card:
Dear Sir: We wish you would send us
the names of all the farmers wro are
using the King split log mud drag on
the roads of your route and tell us
and whether it makes very noticeable
in the roads.
Yours respectfully,
TIMES
Marshalltown, Iowa.
Replies to the questions asked in
dictate that the road drag has not been
given too much credit as a road I'M
proven and that it's use is not yet as
general as it should be. From day to
day the T.-R. will publish in this col
umn the opinions of the carriers and
the names of the parties using the
drag. 1t would be glad to hear from
every carrier within it's circulation ter
ritory and to supply any names of road
drag users that may be omitted or for
gotten.

Nevada thinks eff all the farmers would
use them for only one hour after each
rain when the ground is nearly dry it
would greatly improve all the roads,
but the road should first be graded up
pretty high in center and then the
drag will do better work and smooth
the surface and water will run off and
in few minutes after the rain the
.oad will be dry" Those using the |
drag on his route are:
Chef Tough, A. Molinger Ralph Morse, |
w. C. Johnson, H. B. Brown, John
Scott, B. A. Fetterhoff. Elmer Biddle. /
Mr.. Klump adds: 'Mr. Tough had |
