Theodore Roosevelt is the great

MRS. LoNewoRT4's POLITICS.
She is Winning Votes for Her Husband
in New York Campaign.

Cincinnati, Nov 5.--Alice Roosevelt
Longa orth has accomplished the SEEM
ing impossible in Ohlo-she has made
politics fashionable.
princess Alice social butterfly,
whose erratic travelling flights kept So
Getty guessing. has disappeared. In her
place the people of Ohio have discoy-
cred Mrs Nicholas Longworth, woman
politician.
Mrs. Longworth is ambitious; she al
SO is inperleus, ard likewise anxious
to retain her place as a public per-
sonage. From representative to SEN
ator is but step, from senator to
president, not impossible there Is
always the governorship of Ohio on the
side for a 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 Ctncin-
natl Mrs. Nicholas Longworth has
made politics fashionable fad. Never
has the republican party had such a
time in a 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
IA boon to the tired speaker and the
worn-out 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 tnothingness. 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

Democratic to a 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 a time shaking hands with
people whom she has never seen be-
fore, some of them Untidy and I'M

it is her business to see that it is cast
for Nicholas Longworth.

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-
Dot il it has In some other ways em-
barrassed certain business relations.
Previous to the vitalization of the in
terstate commerce commission the
government enjoyed specially low
rate on railroads. Now it must pay
full fare United States officers here
tofore have paid low rates on the
Great Northern. Now that railroad has
quoted full passenger rates for all
government officers. 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 1t 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 300 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 avera ging, 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 put in
practice. It 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
mail contracts feel the pruning knife.

SHALL WE HAVE PEACE2

The campaign that will be finished
and its results known when the weary
tellers have concluded their labors and
returned the figures of a respectable
republican majority some time tonight
or tomorrow morning, has been long
drawn out and wearring. 1t dates
back to the inception of the precon-
vention campaign for the republican
nomination for governor. The real
struggle was in that campaign. Its
democratic annex has been only Incl
dental The opposing issues and in
terests clashed in the months that pre-
the defeat of the opposing corporations
at Des Moines. What we have had
since has been miltler continuation
of that fight by democratic candidates
of mediocre force and capacity, aided
and abetted by such brlshwhacking re-
publicans as refused I'd 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 state
platforms of no corporation control of
Iowa politics The third time is said
to be charm. VIII the principle
enunciated in three platforms and in
dorsed three separate times at the
polls be accepted without further OPP
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 states
what points they are to dress upon.
In Iowa it is pretty well settled now
that the alignment will be upon Roose.

bitches AND TILE

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 Il
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 We're laid seven feet beneath
the surface in the center Of the pond.
This one pond is certainly a good
practical demonstration of the 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.. Mohler 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 It is estimated that the
county bitches now in operation or in
course of construction in Greene coun-
ty will redeem at least thousand
acres of ponds into most fertile farm
land, besides benefiting 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 a
liar and sneak. They know that the
senator or speaker who trades in the
necessities Of his constituents, who
uses the power Of high office to make
money, Is a 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 its 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
debatable 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.
Hereafter the responsibility for ev-
cry congressional action or inaction
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-
perlence 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 n
cold, dispasslonate, accurate statement
of every mans record. A post card
will fetch such statement. II the
newspapers won't print it, the maya

A CAVERN OF MYSTERY.
flames Times


The surface reservoir, recently con-
structed by the city electric light and
water works in the east end of town, Is
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 a
concrete structure of circular forma-
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 sound not unlike the
roaring of the sea. The echo. reyer-
berating from all sides, reaches the ear
practically at the same time, and the
result is a 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 his
companion but was confronted by the
same obstacle. Then both men began
to make a vain endeavor to make each
other understand the situation. The
hurricane of words, with which per-
haps was mixed light blue shade of
profanity, came back to them in indis-
tinguishable tones. At last, in despair
both men turned and pointed to the
ladder by which they had descended
and they both assembled to the surface
where they were once more able to
carry on a conversation. The words
