REPUBLICAN RApIcALIsM.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
During the popular canvass over
the senatorial nomination Mr.. La Fol-
lette did visit Kansas and make
many speeches in which he bitterly
attacked Senator Long, who is poll
tically distasteful to him and against
whom he appears to have a personal
grudge, Notwithstanding Mr.. Longs
warm espousal of the radical doc
trines of President Roosevelt. This,
we suppose, is not lobbying. The
people have a right to be addressed
by anybody to whom they are willing
to listen, and the people of Kansas
appear to have listened with much
pleasure to the radical senator from
Wisconsin. He is credited with an
influential par. in securing Mr.. Bris-
tow's triumph. Mr.. Bristow will not
be so useful a senator as Mr.. Long,
but he is active, industrious, and will
give effective help to Senator La Fol
lette in making trouble.
Radicalism in the Senate, it is be-
lieyed, will secure another recruit in
the election of Governor Cummins, of
of Iowa, to succeed the late Senator
Allison. Mr. La Toilette admires
Governor Cummins, who is expected
to help him, as the new Kansas sena-
tor will help him, in making all pos
sible trouble. In radical states pri-
maries may be expected to bring forth
fruits of raGicalism, but owing to the
large number of conservatives still re-
manning in the Senate, the people of
the radical states and of the coun-
try will not be permitted to enjoy the
full flavor of these fruits, possibly not
for some years to come. 1t might be
better if the radicals could get into
power at once, in order that we might
sooner be done with an era of popu-
lar madness, and set about the work
of permanently rebuilding what has
! been destroyed. sl

MOSQUITO BITES
CAUSE POISONING

Ralph Meeker. of 229 Dueber ave-
nue., who has been suffering for al
most two weeks with blood poisoning,
caused by mosquito bites, will be COM
pletely recovered inside of a week or
Ten days, if his condition remains as
it is at the present time. DR.. Exline,
who has attended the patient from
the time the poisoning was discovered,
can assign no reason to it but mos
quito bites. Two weeks ago Ralph
was at Meyers lake where he received
an undue number of bites on the left
arm. Since then his arm has swol-
len continually, beginning at the
thumb joint. On Friday evening, July
81, the patients condition was such
that his life was feared for, but since
then he has improved until he is able
to be about again now. The young
man who is nineteen years old, is
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. E. Meeker.

HAY FEVER COMES
EARLY THIS YEAR

Hay fever subjects, bewarei The
government crop reports make men
tion of bumper crops of goldenrod,
ragweed and other fall weeds, the
pollen of which is blamed for the re-
currenCe of the disease each year, but
physicians say that the victims of
this peculiar catarrhal affiiction are
getting an early start this year, in
dicating that goldenrOd and ragweed
have matured early and that the air
is filled with pollen.
Many people not affected in former
years with hay fever are catching the
disease this year. This has resulted
in an alleged plague of sO-called sum
mer influenza" Hay fever manifests
itself first by itching, then by sneez-
ing and running from the eyes and
nose, some fever with pain in tie
head and frontal sinuses, and gen.
orally some asthma. The usual in.
fluenza and cold remedies will not
give relief, and to the patients suffer
ing is added the intense heat .-
Dyed-in-the-wool hay fever patients,
especially those who can afford vaca-
tions each year time these rest per-
iods so that they can get into high al.
titudes or at the seashore while the
pollen of the plants is in the air. They
get relief as soon as they go away If
they stay at home they must suffer
until the first fTosts. "&

MILD AND HARMLESS REVISION

"a revision of the tariff, begun
promptly and considered at special
session, will make the disturbances
of business incident to such a change
as little as ble."-William H.
Taft.
Quite true! A revision of the tariff
begun at a special session presided
over by Brer DalZell and Brer Payne
and Brer Aldrich would interfere with
business very little indeed or almost
not at all The business of the cam
paign contributing trusts would not
be disturbed so much as the seas self
is disturbed by a pebble cast. The
revision would be upward, according
to statement made some time ago
by Mr.. Aldrich, VINO represents the
amalgamated trusts in the Senate and
who says what measures shall not
pass Congress. Brer Payne and Brer
Dalzell might not insist upon a re.
vision of the present schedules up
ward. They might be satisfied with
a revision side-wise, or a revision cut
upon the bias. Any sort of revision
not meaning reduction would suit
these heavenly twins of House
lSSISIdtlOH, no SOTI VI TSNlSlOli HlSdH-
ing any sort of reduction would have
half the chance to pass through the
committee room on it's way to the
House that bird has to fit through
through the branches of upas tree
in pursuit of a moth.
1t can be stated positively that a
revision of the tariff by its friends
would not disturb the captains of in
dustry who have made legal profits
from immoral legislation and traded
financial support to the Republican
machine for its favors. Such re-
vision as might take place at a spec
ial session of Republican Congress
might make material for the writer of
humorous verse and prose, for the
cartoontst, for the satirist. Business
such as Judge Taft has in mind-the
business of the fuedal lords of Amer
ican industry, whose castles are tariff
builded and whose vassals are tariff
bound-would not experience ripple
of excitement or a moment of fear.
The robber barons would know that
revision conceived in duplicity and
born of buncombe would mean moth
ing more than bluff Judge Taftis abb
solutely correct in his statement. He
could have amplified 1t and made it
stronger.-Louisville Courier-Journal

MR.. TAFT's REAL VIEWS.

II you want to know a mans real
views do not seek them when that
man is candidate for political Office.
AT such times, man is NOT disin-
terested. He does not at such times
go out of his way TO OFFEND any
section of the people.
If his views are likely to offend the
Jews or Germans or Irish or the work
ers or the property-owners, he at least
remains silent. He has everything
to gain by concealing his real views
and by uttering opinions which at
tract as many as possible of the diff
ferent kinds of people, organizations,
races and classes.
For this reason wise man takes
the views of candidate for office
with grain of salt.
But now and then there comes
along a candidate with a record. At
such times the voters can, if they
wish, find out the REAL VIEWS of
the candidate.
Such an one is William Howard
Taft.
When he was Judge of the United
States Circuit Court he sentenced a
labor leader to prison. II was part of
an extraordinary judicial effort to
crush the American Railway Union,
of which Eugene V. Debs was presi-
dent.
In sentencing this labor leader, Mr..
Taft said; "The gigantic character
of the conspiracy of the American
Railway Union staggers the imagina-
ton. The purpose, shortly stated,
IN cfa he 10
and the public. Certainly
the starving of nation could not he
lawful purpose of combination, and
IT is utterly immaterial whether the
purpose is effected by means usually
lawful or otherwise"
"Pd starve the railway companies
is a term which no man whose hori-
zon extended beyond the mere rights
OF property. could have possibly used.
He never thought of the people who
WERE starving in Pullman.
All this moment millions of men,
women and children labor without
hope. Yet, If these millions were TO
strike and assert their right TO a
living wage or to equitable condi-
tions of livelihood Mr.. Taft would
call that dangerous conspiracy to
"starye" railway companies and other
property owners.
Mr. Taft also says il is utterly i'm
material when these men strike
whether their purpose is effected by
means USUALLY lawful or other
wise"
We had supposed that in this re-
public men had the right to better
their condition, providing they
ACTED LAWF ULLY.
But Mr.. Taft says it matters not
whether they act lawfully or other
wise, they are conspirators threaten
ing to starve the railroads and the
public.
That ends the matter and their
5eaders must be dealt with summarily,

BRYAN AS A MONEY eETTER.

From the Louisville .Courier-Journal.
Mr.. Bryan has been greatly malign-

man and as poor as church mouse,
he had to live somehow; to find
somehow, an increased livelihood,
Turning to the only pursuit which
promised living adequate to his al
tered needs, and, at the same time,
the vitality of the mission to which
he proposed to consecrate himself, he
did what myriads of as good men
before him had done, took a vocation
embracing at once his inclinations
and aptitudes; that is, TO his pen and
his tongue. He started the Com
moner 1t has been reasonably sue
cessful. He could have reveled III
wealth had he prostituted its col
umns. He went upon the platform.
He worked like slave and com
manded audiences, which, happily,
stayed with him. But there was
money to give away as we'll as to
earn; gratuitous service of many
kinds to render; and, we speak what
say that his entire accretions since
1898, when his bark was fairly
launched upon its new career, do not
exceed $150,600, and have never
reached $4,000 year; sum which
the average speculatOr of the stock
market would regard with disdain,
and which, if Mr.. Bryan should die
tomorrow, would leave his family a
bare competency.

commission
Is Named by President
Roosevelt 10 Ascertain
Present Conditions Of
Farm Life
NOTED MEN NAMED

Oyster Bay, Aug. 9.-President
Roosevelt has turned his attention
just now to consideration of the inter
ests of the farmer of the nation, both
as to the practical duties and results
of his occupation and as to his life
and social welfare He includes the
farmers wife in his purview, extolling
her as person than whom there is
none more Independent, measured in
influence upon the life of the nation"
The president wants to know
through the instrumentality of men
more intimately conversant with agri-
cultural affairs than he is, what the
present conditions of agriculture. and
Of farm life are, and in what way they
may be bettered by national care. He
holds it to be duty of the nation to
look out for and aid the farmers specif-
ically, as the foundation of the nation
al prosperity and he says that ulti-
mately the states, through their agri-
cultural developments must collabo-
rate with the national authority in
this work.
Mr.. Roosevelt intends to talk to
congress on the matter next winter
and to obtain information on which tc
found his communication he has ap-
pointed commission on Country Life
and has asked that the commission
\ report to him next December. He rec
Ognizes the inadequacy of the time al
lowed for the commissions work, but
he declares that there is only one
other material question of greater i'm
portance before the people at the pres
ent time, and he therefore asks the
commissioners to give him the benefit
of what is already known rather than
undertake an extensive investigation
and TO make recommendations as to
the best solution of what he calls the
problem. The single exception which
he makes as of greater Importance
than this of farm life and work is the
question of the conservatism of the
country's natural resources.
Among other things, Mr.. Roosevelt
wants to know, is how to induce the
children to remain on the farm and
follow the occupation Of their fathers.
He believes that the American farm.
ers are better off than their prede.
cessors, but he says that they have
got keep pace with the advancement
of the nation, as a whole, in the
matter Of their personal wellbeing.
To gather his information, he must
= formulate the problem and means to
its solution. the president has turne
to men representative of the east and
the middle west whose attention has
been wholly or largely given to such
questions, naming as Chairman Of the
committee, Prof. H. F. Bailey, of the
New York Agricultural College, and
Prof Bailey's associates, Henry H
Wallace, OF Wallaces Farmer, Des
Moines, Iowa; Kenyon L. Butterfeld
president of the Massachusetts, Agri-
cultural College, Clifford Pinchot, of

tor H. Page of the Worlds Work of

III r
and LAWFULLY or UNLAWFULLY,
cast into prison. Hf
Now what is It that enables ONE
MAN to exercise power as great as
this-a power that, indeed, staggers
the imagination? What is it that en-.
ables a Judge to condemn a man or
any group of men who have com
mitted NO illegal act? What is it
that enables him to override their
constitutional rights and sentence
them TO PRISON?
IT IS THE POWER OF INJUNC.
TION. It is the power of king and
czar-power that came direct from
king and czar, which, when we abol-
ished kings, we gave to EVERY
JUDGE that sits on the bench.
Mr.. Taft was one of the first of our
judges to exercise that power in its
most obnoxious form, and he well
earned his title "The Father of In
functions"
Today this Judge, to whom the eff
fort of workingmen to obtain honor
able conditions of livelihood is A
CONSPIRACY; today this Judge, t.
whom the starving of railway com
panies is a thing that STAGGERs
THE IMAGINATION; today thi
! Judge, to whom starving men, womei
and children are matters of no con
sequence; today this judge stands a.
candidate for the presidency.
The man who built up the American
Railway Union and led the Pullman
strike is also a candidate for tht
Presidency.
Mr.. Taft did noble and popular sci
vice for the Starving railway com
panies. Mr.. Debs did noble and un
popular service for the starving raj
way employees.
Mr.. Taft was applauded and pre-
noted Mr. Debs' heart was broker
