Several of the Oummins newspapers,
notably the local organ, are making
an effort to attract credit for them
selves and their boss for the tariff
plank of the Iowa platform. Mr..
Cummins had no more to do with the
making Of that platform than did the
Gear of Russia. Nor is the platform
''vindication" for him or change
of position for those who have been
called "standpatters. Before the
Dingley tariff law had fairly had q
trial, Cummins and his echoes had at
tackled it and were clamoring for a
revision of the tariff. Seven years
ago they insisted upon immediate
revision. Such action would have
been fatal to the business interests of
the cou try. The great majority of
the republicans of the country. in.
cluding President Roosevelt, recog-
nized this and argued against such
action. The wise Judgment of the
party leaders prevailed. 1t was ad-
mitted by all that in the course of a
few years it would be necessary to
change some schedules to meet
changed conditions. and years ago the
actual time when such revision should
be made was predicted by many.
Revision of the tariff by its friends
after the next pres idential election
is not wholesale ripping by its
four years after the law was
enanted. by any means. Cummins'
predetermined efforts to keep in the
iime.light. and his ridiculous claim
to being in line with President Roose-
velt and his policies have become
truly ludicrous.

 The front porch now ceases to DS the mere threshold of the house. II becomes sitting room sewing room. nurscry and library It Is the hearth stone transferred to the open.
 Here sits the family and solaces it. self. Inoffensive gossip floats serene Wand wisdom also. Here IS the forum. Here many grave problems are sorted and settled, and laughter and good cheer have q place.

 And if you will watch close enouGl you will observe the play of sentimen and the undertone of wise judgment
 If does not matter how pretentlou> or how humble may be the front porch 1 It is part and parcel of that nome ill' on which is builded the real strcngtl of this nation. The front porch is TO lated to that family life in summer a is the fireside in winter.
 The porch may proximate the gran deur of wide and Storieu verand;' or it may be only a humble stoop " only d few steps. But
 Here foregathers that little republic the family.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

Do YOU help the people who help you? Sis Hopkins says They am m nse in doin' nothin for nobody who don't do nothin' for you, or words to that effect. and the philoso- phy is there.
 A newspaper advances the materl- al interest of every citizen in the e.ty of it's publication; it helps you, both directly and indirectly, in your Dusl- moss and in vour everyday life. What do won do to help it? Do you patron ize it's job printing department or do you send abroad or give your or ders for stationery to exclusive Jop nrinting establishments? Do you ever rse the columns of your local news paper to get more business for your self? Do you buy the things you need from the merchants who auVeflise for your business? You may rest as- snred that if a merchant doesn't care enoueh about your trade to advertise for it. he does not appreciate it. Nr Merchant if you have stock of goods that you really want to sell, tell 'ht reon,e ahout it in the columns Of youl home paper. If not. don't let any hndv know you are in business, no what you have in your store, and res .ssured a nice gentle traeery of cob
 webs will soon adorn the entranc
 to your place of rest.
