CoRNER1NG THE CAPITAL.
Waterloo Courier

w dtcIloO SuuIleI.I
The Des Moines Capital, replying to
the Courier's charge that 1t made
quotation from the speech delivered
by Secretary Taft at Bath, Maine, in
such manner as to convey the i'm
preston that the secretary is in line
with the Capitals views concerning
tariff revision. whereas the fact is
that the secretary is a revisionist, that
paper says it quoted Secretary Tafts
exact words on the tariff as given out
by the Associated Press and indicated
the difference between his position
and that of President Roosevelt and
Speaker Cannon"
But the Capitals reply is essentially
false and entirely misleading. Mr..
Taft's views on the tariff involving
the system of protection as policy
of government were not in controversy.
The Courier's charge dealt with his
views on the tariff as they affected re-
vision. The Capital in quoting from
the secretarys speech quoted only part
of what the secretary said and that
in a misleading way. 1t did not quote
anything that the secretary said in
his discussion of the question OF re-
vision. That part of the secretary's
speech was concealed from the Capt.
tails readers, and begging the question
cannot alter the fact. The Courier's
charge is sustained by the evidence.

FARMERS N THE FAIR.

If any wandering observer wishes to
know who comes to the fair. let him
stand at the gateway and see the
tanned, Intelligent and well dressed
farmer families push thru. Let him
stroll over behind the back stretch and
the speed barns to the hitching posts
and take note of the mighty horses
( and the shining surveys and carriages
that brought these farmer families in.
Let him go over to the swine pens and
cattle barns and note the judgmatical
Eraybeards and the alert younger men
who are examining, arguing and en-
changing ideas over mighty bullocks
and hogs that look as tho they had just
stepped out of picture frame. Let
g him linger about the machinery ex-
fibit and remark the shrewd observ-
ations on the efficiency and usefulness
Sof the machines. Let him do all this
attentively and thoughtfully and he
will come to the conclusion that it
would be hard to gather class more
representative of the self dependence
that constitutes the foundation of
good citizenship and undeflled Amer
icanism.
There are no OK teams or lumber
wagons down at the hitching posts.
No evidences of poverty and few of
elovenliness in the rigs" or among
the crowds that came from the farm.
Everything bespeaks the man who
knows his business and follows it.
Farming is different now. Go down
on the fair grounds. You will find
a young farmer in overalls ard rubber
boots looking after some splendid cat
tie. They belong to him. He likes
farming. A graduate of good coll
lege he sticks to the farm because he
likes it. He is well off, by Inherit
ance and has made money" for HIM
self. He doesn't have to work" but
yhe wants to and is proud of his voca-
ton. He looks you in the eye when
he differs from you. That's one of
the kinds of farmers at the fair
Another young fellow is looking after
some cattle. He is an Ames graduate.
Has had fattering offers Of professors
SHIPS, but sticks to the farm. His edu-
cation has brought appreciation of
agriculture as an independent business.
IIe is another type of the farmer that
comes to the fair.
These are two types of the coming
farmer that has arrived. There are
other types as interesting. Go to the
fair and see for yourself.

REwsPAPERPAssEs PROHIBITED :

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has held that newspapers can no
longer receive railroad mileage in re-
turn for advertising owing to the pro-
addition in the new rate bill. This is
more of a reform than the press in
1t is not going to strike a class unpre-

of Chicago have already Voluntarily
discontinued their practice of buying
advertising with mileage books. For
year past newspaper men have been
paying their fare on eastern railroads,
and 1t has been predicted that the Gus

time without the assistance of rate

However, this is not all hardship to
newspaper men for the railroads place

This is the season of the turning

earth, running water from the frozen
banks, birds from eggs and life reborn
from everything.
And with the advent of summer the
Master Artist relieved the green with
glowing red, gave largeness to the
leaves and stature to the growing
crops; He opened the bud into frag
rant flower, impaired tranquility to
the bubbling brook, loosed the voices
of sweet singing birds and gave
warmth to the springs promise of full
fillment
Now with the advent of autumn
when from the fields the crops are
borne to waiting crib and shed, when
the stock eats to fulness and grows
fat for market, when the. moon takes
on a glorious brownish cast--its coat
of tan from exposure to the summers
sun-the Master Artist blends a har-
mony of color and begins the tinting
of the leaves on tree and vine. A
touch of whiteN here shows where the
frost has cen grape and nut and
haw their a flavor; here it shows
upon the y hardened at it's touch,
and cracking bow and branch attest
that it has visited them. There the
sumach and the golden rod and all
the other host of flowers take on their
wondrous coloring, blended with a
skill of despair of mortal genius.
From the valleys up the sloping sides
to hill top, rounded or Jagged with
protruding rocks, covered with moss
and dropping fern, the rocks bearing
yet the plants which made the succu-

grew the blood root and fourished the
blue bell and the violet in secluded
shade of oak and box-elder, the May
apple blossom that exasperated with
the brittleness of it's petals or sick
ened with the richness of it's fruit, the
vine which bore the wild grapes, the
plum and nut trees,-all these now
unite themselves in the color scheme
of the Creator.
Pregnant earth has yielded from its
womb the staff of life and nature gives
rejoicing in it's brightest hles.

lowA CPINIoNs AND NOTES.

Call men are free and equal before
the law. If an anti-saloon man as
saults a saloonkeeper, he is amenable
to the law If saloon man assaults
a citizen who is opposed to that bust
ness, he is amenable to the law points
out the Burlington Hawkeye. There
is no distinction. Each would be
equally guilty. 1t is the duty of every
citizen to obey the law and preserve
the peace, and it is the duty of the
authorities to enforce it. There is no
way of slurring it over and trying to
find justification for smuggling. A crime
is a crime and the man who commits
it is engaged in a criminal breach of
the law, and as such ought to be pun
ished for the crime. Otherwise society
has no defense and property no Sc
curity. There must be law and order
or else a lapse into barbarism. The
American people prefer civilization and
its benefcent restraints and organized
