MRS. LoNewoRTH's POLITICS.
She is Winning Votes for Her Husband
in New York Campaign.

Cincinnati. Nov. 5.--Alice Roosevelt
LongH orth has accomplished the SEEM
ing impossible in Ohio-she has made
politics fashionable.
Princess Alice" social butterfly,
whose erratic travelling flights kept So
ciety guessing, has disappeared. In her
place the people of Ohio have discov-
cred Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, woman
politician.
Mrs. Longworth is ambitious; she al
so is imperious. and likewise anxious
to retain her place as a public per-
sonage. From representative to SEN
ator is but a step, from senator 10
president, not impossible-and there Is
always the governorship of Ohio on the
side for live man able to win the
voters of the Buckeye state.
And that is the real reason for the
sudden outpouring of society at the
mass meetings in and about Cincln-
natl. Mrs Nicholas Longworth has
made politics fashionable fad. Never
has the republican party had such a
time in political campaign. Men,
women and children flock to street
meetings and crowd public halls where
the G.. O. P spellbinders hold forth.
To hear the speeches? Not by any
means. Mrs Longworth's dresses. her
smiles and her wonderful hats are the
magnets that draw the women, who
draw the men.
Campaign Of Clothes.
It's a campaign of clothes. Chiffon
broadcloth and the new shade of wood
brown that Mrs. Longworth affects this
autumn are the only live issues. It's
"a boon to the tired speaker and the
worn-put candidates and the restless
people. The daughter of the nation
and the stepdaughter of the Queen
City has only to appear on stage or
platform when the red fire begins to
sizzle. Prominent citizens fade away
into nebulous nothingness. Candidates
side out the stage door to moisten
their parched Threats, and the masses
never miss them-they are breathlessly
debating the question: Is she as pref
ty as her pictures in the newspapers?
Democratic to degree undreamed
of by other women who have en-
deavored to help their husbands win
votes. Mrs. Longworth does not shirk
the smallest detail Of clever politi-
clans duty. She stands in line for
hours at time shaking hands with
people whom she has never seen be-
fore, some of them untidy and I'M
kempt. But every man has a vote and
it is her business to see that it is cast
for Nicholas Longworth.

REAL HEAD OF NATION.

When He Rises Above Party.

When He Rises Above Party.
New York, Nov. 5.-"Roosevelt is
greatest when he is himself, his daring
and achieving self, when, shaking off
the trammels of party allegiance, he
dares to follow right, aye, to lead the
people Alright" declared DR.. Stephen S.
Wise-for the last six years rabbi Of
Congregation Beth Israel at Portland,
Ore, child labor commissioner of Ore
gon, and one of the leading spirits in
the progressive movements among the
Jews on the Pacific coast-yesterday
afternoon at the Young Mems Chris
tan Association.
DR.. Wise's topic was do or Die Yer
sus Don't and Die" He said:
"Men are warned constantly of the
consequence and peril of becoming ex-
tremists. The man who dares not all
for truth and right, lest he sacrifice his
influence and prestige, has neither the
one nor the other to lose.
Theodore Roosevelt is the great
saving asset Of the republican party,
because he is rightly held by the nation
to be scorner of consequence. The
supreme test Of his courage is yet to
come if 1t should become his duty to
appeal from his party in congress to all
the parties in the nation for the sup
port, enactment am execution of those
measures which are justly and equita-
bly, to serve the welfare of the whole
American people"

the republican party, and the square
deal as general rallying points. 1t
is entirely unnecessary to recount the
protective principle among these. 1t
has always been the fixed base Of re-
publicanism, never questioned by any
republican.
If there are those in Iowa who, by
faith or utilization or self-interest, find
a national republication" that fails
to include corporation generalship too
advanced to follow, we must spare
them. 1t must not be forgotten in
Iowa that this fight has been waged
for five years to settle the relative
status Of the corporations and the peo-
pie. Let us have peace. but peace with
honor. Fall in for 1908!

bitches AND TILE.
IGrand Junction Globe.i

We are under obligations to George
NJ Thomson for ride out to the out
let of the Burns ditch yesterday after
noon. On the way out we drove into
the William Rugg pasture to see some
of the benefits that had resulted from
the east ditch. Where was once d
large pond, sometimes called the
hundred acre pond, large tile was
laid last spring. This pond was al
ways filled with water before the tile
was laid but we drove all over it
yesterday. The pond weeds and bull
rushes failed to grow very much last
season and finally gave it up and died.
The tile were laid seven feet beneath
the surface in the center of the pond.
This one pond is certainly "a good
practical demonstration of Sthe effects
of drainage. We then drove to the G..
A. Gaylord place and out into the
pasture where the work of what is
known as the Bruins ditch is being
rushed as fast as possible. A heavy
cement outlet has been provided here
where the water flows into the large
open ditch that Mr.. Gaylord has dug
years ago to carry off the water. A
short distance from here we found
Sam Mohler, Of the contracting firm
of Mohler Brothers, just ready to place
one of the large tile in position in the
bottom of the ditch. AS George Glenn
let it down to Mr.. Moh1er by means
of a derrick the latter swung it into
position. BY the means of the derrick
they handle these large tile that
weigh nearly six hundred pounds
about as easily as small tile are usually
handled. This one ditch will furnish
an outlet for more than a thousand
acres of land and will convert many
acres of frog ponds that are absolutely
of no value whatever at present into
some of the richest farming land in
the world 1t is estimated that the
county bitches now in opera ton or in
course of construction in Greene coun-
ty will redeem at least thousand
acres of ponds into most fertile farm
land, besides benefting many times
that many acres of land by furnishing
an outlet for the surplus water Every
one Of these bitches that have been
completed have done everything that
Mr.. Thomson claimed that they would.

wrong. They know that the congress
man who slides joker into bill is Il
liar and sneak. They know that the
senator or a speaker who trades In the
necessities of his constituents, who
uses the power Of high Office to make
money, Is Il pitiful rascal
The work before these committee
men is simple and plain. 1t is not their
office to play into the hands Of this
party or that 1t Is their office to see
that congress comes out of It's subter-
ranean channels, Its tortuous passages,
it's hidden closets, and works in the
light, where every voter In this land
can see what is going on all the time.
The committee will not take sides or
debatabe questions. 1t will throw Its
white light into the dark corners. 1t
will assume that all measures which
shrink from that light are bad meas
ures and will drag them out for your
inspection.
thereafter the responsibility for ev-
cry congressional action or inactlon
will be fixed on individuals. Senators
and congressman will no longer be
able to dodge the responsibility that is
theirs. In street language, again, they
must stand for what they do. The ex-
perience will be novel, but we trust 1t
will be salutary. They will no longer
be able to fool their constituents, for
those constituents will have at hand a
cold, dlspasslonate, accurate statement
Of every mans, record. A post card
will fetch such statement. II the
newspapers won't print 1t, the maya
zines will.
1--WE have had our exposures. our
sensations, our talk. Now the time has
come TO get down to business"

SHALL WE HAVE PEACE2

The campaign that will be finished
and it's results known when the weary
tellers have concluded their labors and
returned the figures of respectable
republican majority some time tonight
or tomorrow morning, has been long
drawn out and wearying. 1t dates
back to the inception of the precon-
vention campaign for the republican
nomination for governor. The real
struggle was in that campaign. It's
democratic annex has been only Incl
dental. The opposing issues and in
terests clasned in the months that pre-
the defeat of the opposing corporations
at Des Moines. What we have had
since has been milder continue ion
of that fight by democratic candidates
of mediocre force and capacity, aided
and abetted by such bushwhacking re-
publicans as refused to abide the de-
cision of their party in convention.
This is the third time this fight has
been waged and won. 1t is the third
time the voters of Iowa have ratified
the principle laid down in their slate
platforms of no corporation contro, Of
Iowa politics. The third time is said
to be a charm. Will the principle
enunciated in three platforms and in
dorsed three separate times at the
polls be accepted without further op-
position? Are we to have the square
deal in Iowa without fighting for it in
every election?
It Is time now for republicans in
Iowa and the other states where inter-
necine strife has been necessary to-
complete understanding, to fall in
and form The battle line for 1908. 1t Is
well that the state elections will have
shown them in the different sta tes
what points they are to dress upon.
In Iowa it is pretty well settled now
that the alignment will be upon Roose-
welt, the rate and anti-pass laws, the

A CAVERN OF MYSTERY.
flames Times.l

fAaliSS IlhiSo.l
The surface reservoir recently con-
structed by the city electric light and
water works in the east end of town, is
a regular ghost hall and Is as much OF
a mystery as the damp, dingy caverns
and inches of the famous mammoth
cave of Kentucky. The reservoir Is u
concrete structure Of circular fornia-
ton, with an oval roof of the same ma
terial, making the interior Of the same
shape as a globe. A sound when start
ed to travelling in the reservoir echoes
and re-echoes until the whole interior
gives forth a sound not unlike The
roaring of the sea. The echo, reVer-
berating from all sides, reaches the ear
practically at the same time and inc
result is mixed-up tone which devel-
ops into a perfect roar.
Not long ago a couple of workmen
went into the reservoir to do some
work. When they reached the bottom
one of them spoke to the other, and
was surprised when bang! bang!
conglomeration of mixed-up echoes
came back to his ears. The other man
attempted to communicate with mis-
companion but was confronted by The

to make vain endeavor to make each

TINY HOMES FOR HOMELESS

San Francisco's Method of Housing
People Not Afraid OF Earthquakes.
IT would rather camp In the ashes of
San Francisco than live anywhere
else" said woman refugee. That is
the spirit that is rebuilding San Fran
cisco, spirit that is the wonder and
pride of the country, says the San
Francisco Chronicle.
This woman, with her family, after
camping in tent for awhile, has NOV
ed into one of the cottages in Jeffer
son square 1t Is for these that the
cottages are being erected by the re-
lief commissioning people who will
not run from earthquake, fire or other
disasters, but who will stand and
make a fight - for San Francisco.
There are thousands Of them IN the
city. They were burned out--lost ev-
erything they had but the clothes they
stood in. For q few nights the sky
was their roof and the earth their bed,
but they did not run. Then they got
a tent. set 1t up and began to gather
few things together-a rude table, n
chair or two sometimes homemade.
The men folks got work and the FAM,
lies dropped out Of the bread line and
began buying bedsteads, stoves, rugs,
etc., until many Of the tents were SO
crowded that there was scarcely room
to move about.
Now they are to have home, cozy
little three room cottage, for which
they are to pay SO per month, and at
The expiration of year they will own
the cottage and be free to move 1t
wherever they choose. With only Sc
rent they can make good payments on
a lot before the year expires.
In Jefferson, Hamilton and sixteen
other parks of our city are little cot
tages being raised--the "teeniest," cut
est little doyecotes Of houses one ever
saw are nearing completion to make
dwelling places for the homeless.
The houses can be rented for that
figure until Aug. Of next year. The
people who have paid rent steadily I'M
til that time will then own their homes,
but they will be obligated at that time
to remove them to some lot or ground
outside the parks-any place they may
wish or choose, that being at their own
option and expense.

RENDER TO CAESAR.

The rate law and the interstate
commerce commission are not I'M
mixed evils to the railways and the
derial of special rates to all has put
money in the till at the passenger de-
pot if it has in some other ways em-
barrassed certain business relations.
Previous to the vitalization of the in
terstate commerce commission the
government enjoyed a specially low
rate on railroads. Now it must pay
full fare. United States officers here
tofore have paid low rates on thu
Great Northern Now that railroad has
quoted full passenger rates for all
government officers,i employees and Of
ficials.
All this is as it should be. There
is no good reason why the United
States should not pay for what it gets.
It is entirely able to do so. There is
also no earthly reason why it should
pay more for what it gets than the
service is worth. Conceding these
propositions we are naturally up to
the question of mail contracts with
railway companies.
Just at present postal officials are
agitating in favor of a 800 per cent
rise in the pound rates of second class
mail matter. Twenty dollars a ton is
estimated to be at least $50 ton too
low for haul averaging, If actual
averages might be attained, probably
about fifty miles. The mail matter
especially marked for the proposed
raise is newspaper mail, sacked, bund-
led and as easy to handle as freight.
Express companies can grow enorm-
ously rich at a twenty dollar rate for
similar hauls. Why should the gov
eminent pay four times as much?
Let no friend of rate regulation
squeal when the square deal is pu. in
practice. 1t is entirely just that the
government should pay the same rate
as the Individual. If the rate is too
high that is another thing and to be
amended in its turn and place. And,
equally, let no friend of the square
deal stand for governmental robbery
by contract. It is time the railway
mail contracts feel the pruning knife.
