bill to take the tariff out of politics by
the appointment Of commission OF
experts to frame a measure for the
next congress to consider Will f1utter
the hawk roosts of monopoly MOI
without hearing great and angry
squawk of protest may a republican
senator close friend of the president
actually propose to do something
about the tariff instead of talking
about the Grand Old Party's cheerful
readiness to do something whenever
the need becomes apparent"
We, shall be told that Mr.. Beveridge
has been led astray by the perfidious
example of Mr.. Taft, who has the au-
dactty to say that the Sfxty-tirs con-
gress should amend the tariff; that he
only wants to have little boyish fun
by exploding firecrackers behind Mr..
Fairbanks to see whether he can jump:
that in any case, "Aldrich will take
care of the bill"
Yet such rejoinders are only partt-
ally consolatory Mr.. Taft's example
may have weight. yet 1t was Mr.. Tafts
official chief who told an Indiana au-
dience five years ago that he favored a
body of tariff experts of high charac-
ter and ability" Mr.. Beveridge may
enjoy shocking Indiana's dignified
"favorite son." but he would not dare
do 1t IL the voters did not enjoy the
fireworks Mr. Aldrich may and un-
doubtedly will kill the bill, but he can
not kill the tariff reform sentiment
which is growing rapidly from Massa-
chusetts to Oregon, from Ohio to
Texas.

at might as we'll be understood that
what is called political good feeling
and harmony is an evil thing, delu-
sion and danger" declares the
Brooklyn Chronicle. Parties are
fighting organizations. In times OF po-
litical calm look out for coming storms,
| for storm not calm is the normal con-
dition of politics, and the fiercest
storms often gather in the calmest
| Skies"
The LeMars Sentinel agrees with
the teachers of Iowa who want the Of
|. flee of county superintendent taken out
Of politics. That would be a step In
the right direction.
zone paper has figured 1t out that
Young and Brant deserted progressive
republicanism on account of the 1nsln-
| cerity Of Cummins," notes the Hardin
County Citizen. and remarks ut has
not been forgotten that the time Of de-
sertion dates to the ime when one was
caught with bunch of 'Skiver' and
the other was defeated for lieutenant
governor"
s0The Odebolt Chronicle figures out
that "a little reduction in the price OF
anything she has to buy appeals pow
erfully to the feminine heart and mind.
Mrs Hough of Des Moines says she
fell in love with Representative Cot
| trell of Kingsley when she heard him
make speech in favor Of the two
cent fare bill last winter Men behind
the bargain counters are always In
danger"
whenever a married woman is
seized with a passion for another
woman's husband, her morals will last
about as long as a, snow ball in a
Dutch oven,' forcibly remarks the
Humboldt Republican.
The Sioux City Journal says "Mr
Carroll has made capable, industri-
Gus and prudent state official He has
pursued his own course. and he has
| kept himself as free as circumstances
would permit from the strife that has
ragged about him. He stood aloof from
| the activities of the pre-convention
campaign in 1906, but in the election
campaign he took an active part in
support of the whole ticket He has
friends in both places"
There is no good reason why the
republicans should insert prohibition
plank in their next state platform,
saws the Carroll Herald iowa has a
prohibitory law at present and what

WHEN HOGS WERE 81 CWT.
John Amman, one of the pioneer
farmers of Page county, who lives JUST
north of Clarinda. happened into the
Clarndn Journal office the other day
and in talking of the recent hnanclai
furry and Its effect on prices for 1--WE
stock. told of "a time when hogs We're
bringing only 81 per hundred in cash
in Clarinda. 1t was in the year OF
1859. when he was a young farmer
there. The Journal tells 1t thus: the
week between Christmas and New
Year In 1859, Mr.. Amman and three o'
his farmer friends. Isaac Van Arsdol
Henry BRACE and the late WIN. Butter
drove about 800 hogs from this local
iity TO Council Bluffs. where they mar
keted the swine for $3.50 per hundred
pounds, one-half of which the gentle
men received in cash, and the balance
they had to walt for until the ns"'
June That of course. was before
| there was any railroad to Council
Pluffs. The hogs We're butchered IN
that city. Mr.. Amman says at the time
| he and Messrs Van Arsdol. Dracc and
Butler made their trip to market with
the hogs they could have gotten only
i 81 per cwt. in cash or s1.25 In trade per
cwt for them on foot in Clarinda. 1t Is
difficult for people in these days I"
realize what great Improvement has
taken place. Mr.. AMMAN in telling his
story of the old days. laughed consld-
cradle and his eyes sparkled as he re-
membered and related odd and anus
ing incidents of that memorable trip
from Clarlnda to Council Bluffs.
