The campaign of 1916 was quiet
and harmonious as any ever held in
the country since the first Washington
election. The successful elimination
of the war OF 1912 under the direction
Of President Madison, removed what
ever obstacles confronted Madison's
popularity at the time of his second
election in 1872. The treaty of Client,
concluded on December "a 1914, was
decisively a victory not only for Amer.
lean arms, but for American diplo.
macy. The natural result was the en-.
hancement oG the Madison popularity
and when the Republican gathered TO
caucus for presidential nominee for
the third time in the brief history of
the government, the ruling second
term president could have had a prac.
tically unanimous third nomination
and third election. But following the
well-sroundad example set by Wash.
lngton and Jefferson, Madison also de.
clmed to be considered for a third
term. Thus it was that in the first
generation: of the American republic
the no third term custom was firmly
fixed In the practices of American
politics.
When Madison succeeded Jefferson
to the presidency he stepped from
the secretary Of stateship to the White
House. The custom was sufficiently
well grounded 10 have become a. pre-

BEvERlDGE ON TAFT.

In recent speech Senator Bever.
idge expressed his views of the fitness
of the two presidential candidates as
follows:
The real question is. Which candi.
date will make the better President?
Which is the wiser and steadier
Which man would you choose as adj
ministrator of your estate? Which
would you select to manage your bus
mess? Which has the better training
and more experience?
Mr.. Bryan never has handled a
single foreign problem. He has gov
erned no Philippines, regenerated no
Cuba, built no canal, avoided no alien
danger, saved us from no threatened
peril
Mr.. Taft has done all. 1t was his
genius for the practical and devotion
to humanity that took Philippine
chaos and made Philippine order;
Philippine hate and changed it, by the
alchemy of his tact, to Philippine love.

A STATE BOOSTERS, CLUB.

Cedar Rapids Republican. = Some
one at Des Moines has suggested the
organization Of state boosters club
We do not like the name. but we like
the idea. Boosters is bad word. and
it does not sound well. 1t is not ex-
pressive of business ideas, except
brass band ideas. 1t is too trifling, too
commonplace, too vulgar to be the
name of such an organization
But the idea is a splendid one.
What we need in Iowa is an Iowa
movement, movement that shall
have in mind many things. not onl 2
the building up of the cities through
the establishment and development or
factories, but the country also,
through The Improvement in the
methods of farming. The countiry
needs such movement quite as mutsh
as the towns and the cities The couHl-
try has been losing population VIII Gle
the cities have been increasing tn cir
population. The cities and the co an
try must cooperate TO bring about
the development of the state. TIL ere
must be more factories in the cities
to utilize the products of the SOIL fac
tories which will increase what is
ought to be more sugar beet factories.
more factories of all kinds which will
mean the use of Iowa products, 6oth
in manufacturing processes and in; the
support and sustenance of WORKING
men.
The idea, we repeat is an excellent
one. 1t has been used in other states,
especially western states which have
not one-half or one-tenth Of the nat
ural advantages that we have here.
They have such organizations in Ore
gon and in California, and there ev-
eryone is converted into conmlittee
of one to boost" their resources and
to attract settlers. All we have to do
in Iowa is talk a little stronger about
our own natural advantages. We will
be talking the truth too. Where they
produce one dollar Of wealth In the
western states, we produce ten here
Yet we let them exploit their advan-
tages and take away our people,
through their superior insistssnce.
We hope that something can be
made out of this new idea. THE news
papers of Iowa can go long way in
this work by talking more about Iowa
printing more letters about iowa. and
fewer letters about western, states.
They should bear in mind that in the
western states, even the school chill
dren are asked to write articles and
letters for papers in the states from
which their parents came When these
letters arrive in Iowa they are printed
with big headlines, but they all go to
excite curiosity and interest in order

have but little to offer The Iowa pa

PUTTING IOWA WHERE 1T BE.
LONGS.

When the campaign opened some of
the newspaper prophets, viewing the
situation from afar, classed Iowa in
the doubtful column. To the Iowa Re-
publican this was an absurdity, yet
the impression gained strength that
there was to be a close fight on the
national ticket in this state. In view
Of these earlier predictions, the views
Of Raymond Patterson, who writes I'M
der the pen name of Raymond" in
the Chicago Tribune, are interesting.
Mr.. Patterson was a member of the
Taft party in the trip through Iowa
last week. Writing of his impressions
at the conclusion Of the trip he said
that after studying the crowds and lis
tening to the reports Of local leaders,
he was satisfied it was the veriest
nonsense to rank Iowa as doubtful
state on the national ticket He does
not believe the election in November
will result in giving Taft the majority
Of 100000 Roosevelt had over Parker
four years ago. neither does he be-
lieve it will fall as low as 10000.
which was Cummins' majority two
years ago Anything between these
two extremes may safely be predicted
for Iowa in November" he says. "but
I should say the majority will not be
less than $4,000, and probably not
over 100 ,OO0''
Summing UP his Impressions of a
day in Iowa with the presidential can
didate, Raymond says:
ut Is hard to believe any people
who are so manifestly prosperous as
those in Iowa would be likely to take
any chances such as would be involv-
ed in a change in national admins
tration. The truck farms, the fields,
the canneres. the factories along the
railroad tracks, and the business
houses all show undoubted evidence
of prosperity. Iowa Is groaning with
its wealth and the people are unmis-
takably happy and contented"

he had been the nominee for vice

From the first it was apparent that
the lNederalists had absolutely no
chance. They had killed themselves
as a party and as a power III the
course OF the war of 1872. The famous
Hartford convention had been the

| Fedelalist party. The party had not
only opposed the war from the first,
but at a time when the government

the invasion of the enemy ii was meet

| expediency of seeding from the I'M
| ion. Their opposition had embarrass-
ed the government in the prosecution
of the war and probably had delayed
its termination and now that an hon
orable peace had been concluded the
party was justly held up to execration.

never cast another vote. This was the
chief political result of the war of

HE SHOULD TAKE SOMETHING

When the Rev. F. E. Hopkins pre-.
pared the sermon he delivered in
Chicago yesterday, he evidently be.
lieved that to attract any attention in
the papers during the heat OF a polit-
sensational. Here are a few para
graphs from his sermon:
Il tell you this is a progressive age.
We can go right on living a natural
life, breaking up mems homes. ruin
ing mems daughters and blasting
their sons. We may steal, lie, cheat.
for as the author of recent novel
puts it, we may depend upon it, if a
man is decent it is only because he
hasn't the price
Consider the luxurious vices of the
rich and the vulgar vices of the poor.
Think of intemperance, the white
slave traffic. the grating, bribing,
Matchmaking the big and little
schemes to cheat and rob to get rich
quick.
Mote how there is no pretense OF
respect of regard. of reverence for
law. morality ors'righteousness.
"Who can deny that all of this is a
modern repetition of the condition of
the world when the flood cameo"
The Rev. Mr.. Hopkins should take
something for it. If he cannot To-
cate the trouble. any reputable physi-
clan would be glad to diagnose the
case, for fee, and prescribe therefor
