Mr.. Blythe's Burlington HaWkeSe
says that the democrats can ma
plenty OF campaign material In Cum
Minis speeches for the past six years,
but aren't we all tariff rippers now
since the Des Moines platform was
adopted?
Fred White must feel that he Is
having to pay an old note for the sec
ond time when his party demands OF
him that he become sacrifice candi-
date again. If Fred had known in 'sS
that he would be the only democrat
elected to office in the state of Iowa
he might have hesitated to endorse
single handed the obligations of his
party for all time to come.
Take ten miles of white paper three
feet wide, cut it up into newspapers
and print on both sides of 1t enough
matter of interest to cause everybody
to nay for copy and then send 1T out
in one day, one copy to each home, to
be read by the whole family, and you
will have a circulation like the Times
Republican.
If the tariff revision planks in re-
cent platforms are sincere expressions
of popular sentiment the politicians IN
congress could have saved themselves
lots Of grief by simply removing that
duty on wood pulp and avoided the de-
bate. When a standpatter insists upon
saving American forests from the COM

There is something petty and dis
gushing about this mock indignation
over the treatment of Funk. If the
standpatters really wanted him selected
as elector why didn't they name him?
The fact that he was on the Pacific
coast with no time in which to send

The wife of a New York man found
100000 in the pockets of her hus-
bands clothes. Well bet that her hus
band did not jump 20,000,o00 times
higher than any of us who find a for
gotten dime in the pocket of an old

The proprietor of a bakery in an
Iowa town can justly lay claim to a
most unusual distinction. He has sue
ceeded in giving a Dakota land agent
the worst of it in real estate deal.
When the kaiser squares up the four

The inhabitants of Bejar, a city OF
5000 population in the province of Sal
amanca, Spain, have determined TO
emigrate in a body to South America.
Bejar is the center of the spinning in
dustry in western Spain, and nearly
every resident is an expert at the
looms The presidents of both Nicar-
aqua and Uruguay have offered to send
vessels for the people and to provide
money for the erection of spinning
mills when they reach their new homes
1t Is understood the emigrants will
divide about equally between the two
countries. In Spain their wages are in
significant and in South America they
will be more than trebled.
In closing a brilliant argument for
Allison the Des Moines Capital de-
clares that Iowa has had the reputa-

public men and the Capital appeals to
the voters not to change the reputation.
