STANDING PAT.

The House of Representatives has
now become but machine to register
the edicts of Speaker Cannon and Dali
Zell and two or three other standpat-
tiers and trust protectors. Those who
blame the Speaker for welding his
enormous power adversely to the evil
dent wishes of the pubic, must re-
member that he is supported in running
his autucratic machine by the votes OF
all the Republican memDers. The vote
OF 80 Republicans in conjunction with
the Democrats could depose him from
power or again make the House OF
Representatives a deliberative assem-
bly,, but not one Republican member
has so far dared TO SHOW independence
for fear of what the machine would do
to crush him. 1t is come to pass that
Congressman who are in theory sup
posed to represent the people and carry
power to the three Republican men,
bers of the Committee on Rules, name
ly, the Speaker and the two other
members appointed by him, who are
therefore but messenger boys to do his
bidding. Leaving the Democratic
members out of the question and look
ing at the matter from the Republican
point Of view, how many Republican
voters are satisfied with this condition.

Total

The convention will contain l.00S
votes in all. Ii will, therefore require
672 votes to nominate; and since the
rules of Democratic National Conven-
tions requires two-thirds 10 nominate
a candidate, it follows that one-third,
or 1856 votes can prevent any nomina-
ton.
This old two-thirds rule was first
adopted as the Democratic policy
through the influence of Van Buren,,
aud in 1910 it defeated his own NOM
ination. Siuce that date the two
thirds rule has always prevailed, so
as to provide that something approach.

DOLLAR WHEAT.

Summaries furnished to members
of the Chicago Board of Trade con
firm the recent assertion of French
servant that the worlds population
is increasing its consumption of wheat
faster than it is increasing its wheat
crops In the United States in 1871
the population of 39.o00,000 put 20
000,O 900 acres into wheat and was
lucky enough TO produce 231,0OO,U0V
bushels - which amounted to 5.S
bushels for every man, woman and
child. But each man, woman and
child ate only a. bushels. In 1901
the acreage in wheat had in creased
to 49.000.000 acres and the crop TO
748,000, 900 bushels which was 81
bushels per capita, -and the exports
were Al per cent of the crop instead
Of % per cent in 1871. But in 1907
the IS, 100000 people Of the United
States only had a crop of IA bushels
per capita-634, 100000 bushels-one
reason being that fewer acres were
planted TO wheat. The consumption
had increased, however, TO IL bushels
for every man, woman and child.
which left the exports less and was
one big factor in making dollar

THE PROPER COURSE.

Several complaints have recently
been lodged with the Herald charging
violations OF the liquor laws in various
parts of the county. The Herald is
at a loss to know what to do in the
premises If these places are pointed
out by newspaper, the yiolators
would shut up shop and avoid the
officers who might be sent TO inyesti-
gate In this way the very object in
tended to be accomplished would be
defeated.
The proper place to file complaints
OF this kind is with the county attor-
ney, who is sworn to give such mat
tiers attention. In this way Mr.. Will.
Jams could send his officers to the
places before the offenders could get
tip, and the evil could be pulled ont
by the roots.
Illegal places have no right TO ex'
isl. and every one of these that is
permitted TO run and offend the neigh
bors thereto makes II more uncom
Portable for the places that are oper'
ated under the mulct petition OF con
sent, and are honestly trying to live
up TO the provisions OF the law.
The Herald mas no patience with
the fellow who stands for technicaii
ties and splits hairs to get someone
into trouble, but II viii continue to
use its influence, as It always has. in
helping to weed out dens Of vice and
places that have no legal right TO be

ment OF law can hurt no one

and to say that they had plenty to Gov
er it is merely speaking, for there
was no room for the cakes and pies
but it was there in abundance with
two or three gallons of coffee which
was soon warmed and was much ap'
preciated. To say that every one en-
joyed the dinner is not telling half. A
program was carried out in the after
noon by the scholars and music on
the monograph was furnished by Mr.
Without. Being Valentine day, a
drawing was held at the close of the
program, the teacher giving each scol

Ex.Congressman Geo. ID. Perkins, OF
Sioux City, an acknowledged leader
of the '.standpat" republicans of Iowa,
has given a vigorous expression on
the financial situation and the Aldrio&
bill, now before congress. He be-
lieves this measure should be adopted.
In commenting on conditions Nj,
Perkins, who is conceded to be one of
the most brilliant thinkers in the
state, says:
THE indication is that within a
week or two the senate will have run
out of talk and amendments. Then
the bill will pass and go to the house.
The house committee is supposed to
be welded to its own measure, the
Fowler bill, but it would be a mistake
for the house to spoil a prospect for
any legislation by frying to make the
Fowler bill the basis of action at this
time. =$S
THE storm of criticism that assail-
ed the Aldrich bill when it was first
offered to the senate committee has
not been maintained. Clear under
standing Of the situation has Modified
much OF the first announced opposi-
ton. Better understanding has great
Ily diminished the volume OF this emo
rus of disapprOval.
Instead of The Aldrich Bill, the
senate bill might better be called the
administration currency bill 1t is
drawn strictly in accord with the rec
concentrations of the presidents mes
sage. 1t is intended merely TO pro-
vide emergency currency and is not
offered as a serious effort to reform
our currency system. 1t was drawn
solely with the intent to make posi-
BILE, the issuance of emergency cur
sency. with the least possible disturb
ance to the existing currency struc
ture. With this object in view it has
been deemed best not to change the
requirement of bond security fol
emergency issues. Also the tax on
emergency currency has been placed
at so high a rate that bankers will not
be able to issue the currency at d
profit except on the eve of a real
emergency. Both of these provisions
are in the interest OF conservatism
1t is claimed in behalf Of the bill that
If it is enacted this winter, and there
shall be another currency shortags
next fall, the demand for emergency
currency can be met without resort t.
clearing house certificates or suspen
sion of cash payments by banks.
There is no reason why advocates
of the Fowler bill or the central banl
plan should not vote for the Aldrict
bill. The passage of the pending bill
would not delay the eventual enact
ment of either of the more pretentious
plans for radical currency reform. In
deed, the Aldrich bill, if modified tc
provide for national clearing house
to approve securities, might easily be
come step toward the final adoption
of the central bank plan"

they would then take hint and re-
