Dolliver or Cummins.

In it's rejoicings over the outcome of
the convention the American Econo-
mist sounds this note of triumph:
"It was somewhat of standpat af-
fair after all. Not only did the stand
patters prevent the nomination for vice
president of notorious western tariff
ripper and an eastern shouter for "free
raw materials, but they secured instead,
the nomination of sound and reliable
protectionist. Moreover, while depre-
ciating the declaration in favor of tariff
revision, they can point with satisfac-
ton to the fact that the platform
adopted is in its essential details more
radically and completely protectionist
than any that has ever before been
adopted by a republican convention"
The question arises, which does the
Economist have in mind as the western
ripper, Dolliver or Cummins? The in
ference would naturally be that Cum
minis is the man. But if this is accept
ed, then it appears that the standpat-
ters--it will be noticed that this is the
Economists own term-defeated Cum
minis for the place, and that this is not
in keeping with the standpat story as
it is told here in Iowa.-Register and

Mr.. Taft's Running Mate.

If Mr.. Sherman ever did anything in
public life to attract national attention
prior to his nomination to the Vice
Presidency, it was his appeal to Har-
riman for campaign funds in 1906, as
revealed by the president sletter. Har-
riman at that time had not become so
notorious and SO obnoxious to the
American people as he became some
what later, yet his business character
and political standing were as well I'M
derstood in the Autumn of 1906 by Re-
publicans like Mr.. Sherman as they are
to-day. Taken in connection with the
campaign fund publicity issue, the
Sherman nomination seems to be as
audacious we will not say insolent-a
performance as the Republican party
in these later years of its history has
been guilty of. The party was prim-
arily responsible for the failure of Con-
gress at the last session to enact pub
licity law; the party convention this
week has defeated publicity plank by
$50 to "a; and its record now eliminates
in the nomination for the Vice Presi-
deacy of a man who less than two
years ago went, hat in hand, to Har-
riman's Office begging for that sinister

lican congressman Springfield (Mass)

CAN IT be POSSIBLE,

In an editorial printed In the Brook.
1yn Eagle the good Doctor st. Clair
McKelway says:
For Mr. Bryan on no platform
whatever will the Eagle be.
For Mr.. Bryan under no circum-
stances whatever will the Eagle be.
For no platform and for no can
didate whatever Of Mr.. Bryan's max
ing or prescription will the Eagle be.
THE Eagle neither waited for Chi
cago to say the foregoing, nor Is it
waiting for Denver to qualify the fore
going.
1.-THE Eagle Is historically and logi-
cally Democratic, wholly anti-Bryan
and wholly anti-populist."
DR.. McKelway has never before laid
himself open to the charge of plagiar-
ism. But the sentiment: For Mr..
Bryan on no platform whatever; for
Mr.. Bryan under no circumstances
whatever; for no platform and for no
candidate whatever of Mr.. Bryan's
making" is not original with the
eminent editorial writer of the Brook
lyn Eagle. The Rockefellers and the
Morgans, who own the patent on this
sentiment will, however. consent to
the use of it by the talented editor
OF the Brooklyn Eagle, or by any one
else, who will, during this campaign
Of 1908, aid in the pulling of the cor

PLAYING FOR MILLION POINTS.
Two crlbbage Players Have Pesaed
Nearly 100000 Each.

Des Moines, LA cribbage game
for million points, which has already
lasted over seven years is being played
in this city by Col. John c. Lopez and
Milo Ward. The score to date is
460,234 to 455.234. The players esti-
mate that they will live to finish the
exciting contest in 1915.
Both men are prominent here, Lopez
being sheriff Of Polk county and Ward
secretary OF the Commercial exchange.
The men play once week, either
Monday or Saturday nights, from 1880
to II. These men have played for S76
consecutive weeks and religiously
keep their weekly engagement. The
average number of points made each
night for the last seven years is 2.1BO
The game was suggested by Mr..
Lopez and Mr.. Ward took him up.
Just what the stakes are neither Of the
players will divulge Both men have
passed the 50-year mark.
The game has been divided into
series Of 100000 points each. During
their weekly contest they take half
hour for light refreshments. They play
scientifically, and even politics and
commercial interests are tabooed dur.
ing the progress of the games.
The players have worn out number
OF cribbage boards and about Is packs
OF cards, so far. These are carefully
! preserved as relics of the contest. The
men expect on their last series, which
will come about eight years from now
to invite In their friends and card ex
perts to see the finish Of probably the
longest card game ever played in the

The result of the convention at Chi

Bryan. No weaker man than Taft
could have been nominated and his rum

and has barrels Of gold to expend, will
not add strength to the ticket. Had
Roosevelt been nominated the race
would have been different-the people
would have reelected him, but his sub
