THE "ALL1soN LEADERSHIP
mason CITY Times-Herald.)

A cautious, negative policy may have
served to keep Allison in public life
longer than other men, b it has also
caused a lack of confidence in him as
we'll as a belief that his forte was that
of a compromiser.
A list of his resolutions and bills
would o be long and the majority or
them, if published, would disclose ef-
forts to compromise rather than to
stand for principle.
Does any one believe that if Allison
instead of Roosevelt had been presl-
lent that the ringing demands for cor
poration control would have Numbered
from the White House?
Does any one believe that had .Alli-
son beer the executive of the nation
instead Of Roosevelt that the rate bin
would have passed congress?
Does any one believe that had ALI
son instead of Cummins been COVER
nor of Iowa that we would have en-
acted a primary law?
Does any one believe that had Alli-
son instead of Cummins been the Iowa
executive that we would be riding
upon 2-cent fare today in Iowa?
Does any one believe that had Ali
son instead of Cummins occupied the
chair in the governors office in Des
Moines that he would have secured the
passage Of a bill squeezing the water
otu of the corporation stock?
In fact, does any one eliev that
| any Of the reforms which the progress
sive movement in Iowa has secured to
the people of the state would have beer
| secured had Allison instead of Cum
| minis been the leader?
Or, does any one for a minute be-
lieve that Allison would have consent
ed to have been the leader in such a
movement?
Has he ever been the aggressive.
courageous leader whom the people
| admire and who would fight to the last
ditch for principle?
Tt is impossible to answer these
questions truthfully In the affirma-
tive and that constitutes one Of the
reasons Why the so-called "Allison
leadership has not been and is not to-
day representative Of dominant Iowa
sentiment or the attitude of Iowa re-
puhlicanfsm.
The "Allison leadership" has not
Deen ieaueiSlup III ldcl, loi Aiiisoh iiaS
been a camp follower rather than a
leader. His attitude has frequently
developed after the battle and he has
wen discouraged aggressive leadership
by efforts to compromise principle. the
people in the end securing only shad-
! CIV instead of substance where right
eous legislation would have been help
full.
1t has been oftentimes pointed out
that Iowa stood high in the councils ot
the nation, and a hope expressed th&t
the people OF the state should not dis
turb in public station the men who
have obtained this leadership. Whsr
d"nrlr has been entered. the "Allisc n
Ieaatrship'' has served as an awe-in-
! apiring example of a do nothing" pol

THE FLOOD TIDE OF IMMIGRATION.

It is stated from Washington that
he coming report of Frank P. Sar-
lent, commissioner general Of immi-
ration, will show that the total num-
ser OF immigrants admitted during the
ear ending June 80, 1907, was over
loo. 900. or 2,,o, 900 in excess of the
smber that came during the preceding
ar. Mr.. Sargent does not agree with

THE r PROBLEM.

"a. Nofnes is worried over the
number Of Migrants who nave pi.cheu

FOR the winter. 1t Isl another evidence
% oit;tication and metropolitan. I'M
portance to be worried by an lnt1uN Oh
! ,ramns and vagranss. All big cities
worry. Why not Das Moines! Ii, as
asserted by the Des Moines e"spa-
pers. the state capital has l,ooo Vas-
rants to look after, there is cause LOT
worry. A proportion of n a to
every sixty or so Of population is too
/, strong for any town or city to enquire
! without complaint.
why should Des Moines AVE l'ooV
-varrants? Here is n reason IN the
sama ,ss,e of the newspaper that
makes the statement regarding the
number Of idle and worthless para
/ sites. 1t says of one man that ne mas
| haen arrested once or twice a week TOT
;ntoxication during the past twenty
five or thirty years. That is one reas-
~ and a Main one. The police and the
law have only succeeded in degrading
th;s man. They hsrve not helped him

heartless and ineffective.
II is a state question and calls for

IA offer the convenience Of drunken
ness. arrest those who take

lined with incentives to more drunk

II. the police court. One thing re-
/ mains to do: We. must separate the
! fnebriate and the vagrant and the sa-
! loon by elimination Of the latter or
by the removal OF the others.
If every vagrant. in the state looked
I forward this winter to a comfortable
/ situation contiguous to a stone quarry
] where he would be obliged to do ten
hours work daily for the support OF
Ibis family, If he has one, and to the
benefit OF the state il he has not, vag-
rants would be scarce in Des Moines.
Ii the road camp awaited the habit
nal inebriate and the .vagrant of all
1 classes, there would be less vagrancy

La needless and inhuman fashion with
human lives. We need to get out OF
4 the old rut that permits one individual
Ito be arrested fol. drunkenness or any
other crime $500 times in twenty-five
w ars, and find a better and more re-
fformatory method Of dealing with the
Sclasses that must always be under the
scare and supervision of the stronger

SWettenham to Leave.

London, March 1.-The resig-
nation of Gov. Swettenham, of
Jamaica. has become an accom-
plished fact and he will leave that
island as soon as his affairs can
be arranged.
AS cabled at the time, the Gov
ernor sent in his resignation Jan
uary % as a result OF the incident
involving Rear Admiral Davis, it
was the desire of both the Ameri-
can and the British governments
to smooth the trouble over This
led to correspondence between
the Colonial Office and the gov
ernor, in which the former, while
tentatively accepting his res1gna-
ton, left the door open for the
Governor to reconsider the mat
ter and remain at his post, but &C.
cording to a statement made by
the Under Secretary for Che Col
onies, Winston Spencer Church
i'll, in the House of Commons,
this afternoon, Swettenham has
now definitely decided not to con-
tinue at his post.

Burro Drivers Carry Candles.

In Mexico all vehicles, be they
handcart, automobile, or any
thing between, must carry a light
at night. This rule or law is rig
idly enforced. Even the drivers
of the poor little burro or mule
cars, on their two wheels. must
carry a light.
So, rather than buy lanterns,
which cost money, they take a dip
candle, and wrapping it in a bit
of newspaper to shield it from
the wind, carry it in their left
hand as they drive along home
ward from work after evening has
fallen. The effect is striking, as
the light, falling strongly on the
Indian driver, throws the face of
the man into strong relief against
the darkness.-Modern Mexico.

THE WORK OF CONGRESS.
Appropriations During Short Session Ap-
proximats Billion Dollars.

proxlmate Billion Dollars.
Washington, March 8.-More
money has been appropriated du-
ring the short session of the 59th
Congress which passes into history
at noon tomorrow, than during
any previous session. The amount
as neal as can be estimated. ap-
proximates a billion dollars.
Two big battleships we're autho-
rized for the navy, and the ar
tillery corps of the army was re-
organized and enlarged. A gener-
al service pension was granted to
veterans Of the Mexican and civil
wars, and like provision was
made for Iarmy nurses. For river
and harbor improvements the
appropriation aggregated $83 ,O0o,-
900.
Increased salaries we're given to
Cabinet officers, the Vice Presi-
dent and Senators, the Speaker of
the House of Representatives and
it's members, ambassadors, minis
tors and c%onsuls, to postofice
clerks and letter carriers.
The public made more inquiries
for information from the docu-
ment rooms of Congress regarding
the ship subsidy bill, the currency
measure and the bill regulating
the hours of railway employees
than any other pending legisla-
ton. Ship subsidy died hard in
the last hours. The other two
measures became laws as the ses-
sion closed.
The immigration bill, one of
the measures brought over from
the long session, was completed
under the spur of the President,
that he might meet the Californi-
an-Japanese situation by giving
the administration control of
.coolie importation through pass
ports. The bill further restricts
the admission of aliens to the
country.
A bill was passed for the estab-
lishment of an agricultural bank
in the Philippine Islands.
The free alcohol law of last $685.
sion was modified that farmers
may distill the waste products of
their farm to be debarred and
used for arts ard sciences.
The right of appeal in crimi-
nal cases was granted the govern
ment, a measure intended to
strengthen the antitrust legisla-
ton by affording a means where.
by the Supreme Court may pass
upon the constitutionality and
construction of such laws.
An investigation was authorized
regarding the condition of women
and child workers..
The Interstate commerce COM
mission was authorized to ascer-
tain If the express companies Of
the country are evading the rail-
road rate law of last session by
buying, selling and handling on
consignment fruit, vegetables and
oysters.
Reed Smoot was retained by the
Senate as a Senator from Utah,
ending a four years controversy.
The Senate ratified treaties with
Santo Domingo and Algeciras.
The President was authorized to
nke his good Offices to prevent
atrocities in the Congo.

exhaustive investigation of the
Brownsville affair.
