Reconsidered.

Bismarck Tribune: The mail route
between Bismarck and Winona will
not be changed. The government has
decided to take no further action In
relation to the proposed changes in
the route, and the people along the
present route have reason to be glad.
Some time ago the government de-
cided to abandon the route between
Bismarck and Winona and have the
mails carried to and from Linton.
This meant semi-weekly mail for
most of the points along the river be-
tween this city and Winona, and there
was great dissatisfaction over It. Bids
were called for the new route; so,
through the efforts Of the Bismarck
club, the old route will be retained.

The Prohibition Farce.

Bismarck Tribune: The Grand
Forks Herald is shocked because the
Tribune has made the discovery that
prohibition does not prohibitin North
Dakota. II the Herald man will leave
his sanctum and travel around the
state little he will come to tile same
conclusion. The Tribune believes In
the enforcement Of the prohibition
law. II It is not or cannot be success
fully enforced, 1t believes in change
to some other means Of regulating
the evil. The law is not enforced;
officers are not or cannot be elected
except in certain portions Of the state,
who will enforce the law; juries,
especially in the western part of the
state, will not find convictions. The
sentiment is against the law, and in
all fairness and reason, divorced from
all sentiment and partizanship, why
not give the people of the state, IS
per cent OF whom have never had an
opportunity to vote directly on this
proposition independent Of all other
issues, chance to declare whether
they want the present law continued
or whether they want some other
means Of regulating the liquor trafic
adopted. Certainly the people of this
state will never change 10 q system
that will reinstate the whiskey ele-
ment in politics and in power or de-
tract from the cause Of temperance.
There are those, however, who believe
some other manner of regulation will
I've bitter than prohibition and blind
pigs. Anyhow it is a problem the
discussion Of which can do no harm.

The people Of the different countries
have their various traditions concern
ing the wood Of which the cross was
made. In England the peasants say
that 1t was Of elderwood and that
lightning never strikes that tree. Dean
French in note to his Sacred Latin
Poetry" declares that 1t was made OF
the wood Of the aspen and that since
the day of the crucifixion the leaves Of
that tree have never ceased to shud-
der.

When you visit family in Iceland
you must kiss each member according

highest and descending to the lowest,
not even excepting the servants. On
taking leave the order Is reversed.
You first kiss the servants, then the
children and lastly the master and

an affectionate kiss on the mouth with

the only mode OF salutation known In

In an address in the town Of Fayette
on Monday, Oct. Is, 1906, eX-Gov. William
Larrabee said: .
1t Is always a pleasure for me to meet
with Iowa people for the purpose of con-
Nulting with them concerning matters or
common interest to us all, and especially
was 1 pleased to accept the invitation OF
the republican state central committee TO
be with you on this occasion. l have sew
eral objects in view in accepting the in
vitation. One is to acknowledge my In
debtedness to the people of the state for
past favors, another the hope that my
over four years of experience may enable
me to aid the people, avoiding some of the
the mistakes that have been made in the
past, and also my desire to have Iowa
made an ideal state so that you and
and mine can have the best place in the
world to live in the future.
BY way of preface l wish to have 1t
thoroughly understood by those who did
me the honor to invite me to address you
this evening and by you have honored
me with your presence, that in what l
shall say to you l represent no one but
myself. l am charter member Of the
republican party and have been loyal to
Its spirit and principles from it's organi-
cation as have understood them. have
never seen, however, a political platform
that could fully indorse in all respects,
without at least some mental reserva-
lions.
With experience and the requirement of
shOAO hhO"lCdSS upOIl a SuDJSCl, my OplH-
Ions sometimes change, and 1 frequent
~ find myself dsagreeing with some
republicans upon various questions.
] am in favor of banishing the saloon
from the state, as in my opinion 1t Is
the greatest enemy of our civilization.
Close the saloons and we shall have but
little use for jails, penitentiaries and
poor houses. Were half the money that
our state now expends for the cure of
inebriates. properly expended in remov-
ing the cause of inehriety, we would
probably save 100 where we now cure one.
am in favor Of the election of the
United States senators by the people; of
OF a progressive income tax: of protec-
ton to labor organizations as we'll as
those OF capital; of a maximum rate of
cents per mile for passenger fares, and
OF requiring our board of railroad COM
missioners to make joint rates for trans
portaton of freight by the railroads, and

The trump convention" masqueradinw
under the name OF the Federal Rate
Regulation association" condemned tho
whole programme II was a matter of
common knowledge that the men who at
tended this convention were taken TO Chi
cago on free passes. that In some cases.
at least their hotel bills and other ex-
penses were paid by the railroads, ana
that the leaders In the convention repre-
sented merely the railroads and those who
were wholly In the service OF the rail-
roads.
One OF the men who helped to organ
ize the trump convention" was e. II.
Hunter of Iowa, who had given direction
to tho Iowa branch OF the railroad bu-
reau the previous year. What he did
then and what no IL doing now was for
the railroads and for them alone
While Governor Cummins was dolng
everything In lids power to help the In
terstate commerce law convention and to
back up President Roosevelt In his rate
regulation programme. there went from
Iowa to the trump convention" which
had for It's chief object the discrediting
OF the rate programme. n number OF per-
sons who had other views.
Democratic Leaders Were There.
One OF these was Charles w. Miller OF
Wayerly, who now, as democratic state
chairman Ia entrusted with the direc-
ton and management OF the campaign
TO defeat the reelection OF Governor
Cummins. Mr.. Miller was delegate to
the rump convention OF the railroads, In
the printed report OF the proceedings OF
that convention his name Is given on
page l39. On the previous page appears
the name OF w. w. Marsh or Waterloo
as n delegate. Mr.. Marsh has been
picked by the democratic state commit
tee to represent Iowa democracy on tho
national committee and his selection will
be made at an early date. Chairman
Miller has stated In letter that Mr..
Marsh Is one OF his chief advisers In the
campaign. Both were In Chicago with
Ed Hunter and tho railroad politicians at
tempting to break up the convention

which backed Roosevelt and taking part
In the rump convention.
Condemned the President.

The convention to which Miller ana
Marsh were delegates adopted a resolu-
ton to the effect that:
I'VE are unalterably opposed 10 confer
ring upon the Interstate commerce com-
mission, or any other appointive agency,
the power to prescribe rates for trans
portation."
The Corporation Alliance.
Tho campaign being conducted undes
the auspices OF Miller, Marsh and their
associates Is for the purpose OF defeating
Governor Cummins, who did much 10 cre-
ate sentiment I'm Iowa favorable to rate
regulation, 10 defeat Senator Dollver.
who was n powerful factor In the pas
sage Of the bill. and to cause the stats
OF Iowa to render political verdict at
the polls such as will discourage all trus
friends OF proper reform In rate regula~
tion The committee at the head OF which
is Mr. Miller. delegate TO the railroad
rump convention, IL making use OF all
possible material intended TO bring into
dLscredit and 10 defeat the men OF Iowa
who backed up President Roosevelt.
At tho same time the political commit
tee which was organized under the direo-
ton Of the great railroad rate bureau
is still doing business in Iowa, and Is ems
gagged today in the distribution of htera-
ture which was printed prior 70 the recent
republican state convention. which was
paid for by railroad money and which
Is now being distributed In the state OF
Iowa under the auspices OF the same cors
poration agents and hirelings.
Corporation Retention.
This so-cailed democratic COMMITTEES Is
circulating a booklet, under the guise OF
being a campaign handbook. which was
prepared largely by the employees OF the
railroad political bureau for the purpose
OF creating prejudice against republican
administration In Iowa. Some OF these
same employees OF the railroad political
bureau are at work under direction OF
the democratic committee. Candidate
Porter is accompanied on his speaking
tour of the state by an employe OF this
same railroad political committee, and the
newspapers of the state willing to lend
their Influence TO the overthrow OF re-
publicanism IN Iowa. receive regularly.
with charges all prepaid, the most extrav-
agant dispatches relating 70 the meetings
OF Candidate Porter.
In short, there Is today the closest al
lance between the democratic commit
tee and the committee organized by the
corporation lobbyists. The men who are
backing the Porter candidacy did their
part last year toward effecting defeat OF
the Roosevelt programme for rate regula-
ton; this year the corporations interested
in the defeat of rate regulation are re-
turning the compliment by helping the
Porter candidacy.
Elkins In the Game.
When the campaign opened for renomi-
nation of Governor Cummins last winter

iieutenants at Washington. the West Vir-
