SHAKING UP THE DRYBONes.

A sequence of remarkable addresses
has enlivened the proceedings of the
United States senate the present week.
Each was listened to with unusual
attention and was deemed of sufficient
Importance to be featured by the
newspaper correspondents. The ad-
dresses were by senators who do not
mince words and whose utterances at
tract interest-Tillman. the fiery
southerner. and LaFolette. who prob
ably is pleased to he classed as rad
ical
Tillman INDUCED himself by one of
his periodical attacks on the presi-
stituted king and deems him a dan
gerous man. He charges him with re-
sponsibility for the recent financial
panic and Wall street applauds his
sentiments. LaFollette, whom the
people accept more seriously because
he Is sincere and is right most of the
time. assumed the other extreme. He
blames the men high in finance for
the late panic. He goes even further
and openly accuses a coterie OF big
ibankers-the financial trust represent
ed by the Standard Oil and Morgan
with deliberately planning a raid on
industrial stocks for selfish purposes.
In this LaFollette makes an accusa-
tion that is founded only on circum-
stantial evidence. The public will be
inclined to accept It's truth only in
part. Tiflman is seldom taken SER
iously. He is generally in the wrong.
even when inspired by what he deems
is right Both men, however, are of
value in public life. The difference is
that one is radical in the wrong drec-
ton, the other radical in the right.
Both occasionally shake up the sena-
torial drybones and are worth their
salaries for this work alone. Without
them the senate would go into complete
decay.

THE NEXT TEN WEEKS,

The next ten weeks will be full Of
interesting things political in Iowa. 1t
is ten weeks before the people. of the
state have right to decide on their
candidates for local, state and district
offices and for United States sena-
tor. The lines are being formed now.
This is no uncommon sight. But the
forming Of the lines need not indicate
that there is to be such a fight as will
leave incurab1e scars.
After the primary election there is
to come a state convention which will
attend to all matters Of state signifi-
canoe and provide the platform on
which the party will make it's fight for
success. This refers OF course to the
republican party. And the fight will
then come direct against the demo-
Gratis.
1t is important that nothing be said
or done in the coming ten weeks by
republicans that will make it more diff
ficult for republicans to stand together
at the general election. 1t is recalled
that two years ago a few permitted
their zeal to SO mislead them

In the next ten weeks republicans
will have opportunity to decide wheth-
er they want for senator one who, to
say the least, has passed the period
of his activity, or one who comes
fresh from the people imhued with
the spirit that does things. They
will have opportunity TO decide wheth-
err they want for governor one who is
advertised by his friends as non-com-
initial on anything. or one who has
convictions and courage and force to
lead for the right They will have
opportunity to decide whether they
want for members of congress men
who represent the reactionary ele-
ments or those who stand for prog
ress and advancement all along the
line
But in this campaign 1t is Just rs
we'll if all be temperate and sensible
and not engage in manufacturing am

A HAPPY CROW PARTY,

OF all the conventions that have ever
been held in politics there never has
been one in which the crow eaters
seemed to enjoy their dish with more
good nature or apparent pleasure than
the one held in Des Moines yesterday.
Some would joke about it as a consola-
ton meeting, for LATE Young had ad-
mitted having had the pleasure of
standing on that platform some. eight
years before without any recollection
Of ever having stood there
since, and then there was
Lacey and Perkins smarting
with their defeats and Birdsall
with retirement staring him in the face,
all having an inning which had been
so long deferred and which they did
not expect to see soon again.
Just why defeated minority should
come to convention feeling SO good
about 1t is difficult to understand, but
it is no easier to explain why the vic
torious majority allowed their cares
to so depress their spirits. With a
wide and ample margin assured on
roll call, there was lacking the usual
chestiness. Some were even cruel
enough to suggest that they had car
ried the wrong election.
But it is true that when a Cum
Minis man was twitted as to crow he
would radiate with smiles about his
inning coming at the primary. and
when an Allison man was asked how
he liked the platform he looked wor-
ried The leaders who have been in
eclipse for four years had regained
temporary advantage which seemed to
be an embarrassment to them. They
did not know what to do with it. Few
wanted iron-clad instructions for Taft
but the Cummins men stood ready to
force them if they faltered. None Of
them, except George D. Perkins, want
ed Taft's kind Of tariff revision, but

they had to, and it was bitter, bitter
pill.
LATE Young and the men OF the
majority had reviled the tariff rippers
for years. LATE as late as two days
before had argued against adoption of
the Ohio plank. George D. Perkins
sat up almost all night laboring with
Lacey to get him to accept it. and
when the standpatter from Standpat
Vile appeared in person before the
convention reading and endorsing tariff
revision NOW, down to the margin OF
difference between cost of production
at home and abroad, it was truly dra
matte as we'll as pathetic to see that
he neither "teetered" nor "peered over
the edge No wonder Ben s'alinger

say? The division and protest against
the Allison resolution was merely for

convenient method Of recording the
fact that 507 young men We're going
home to work for Cummins at the pri-
maries. There was even so much of
good nature that when Perkins was
sneering at temperate speech of Mr..
Byers and roasting Governor Cum
Minis, the Cummins men kept urging
him to go on until the Allison men
themselves had to choke the old man
off with their calls for Late Young.
1t was exceedingly remarkable for a
crow party.

for it; the trees or seeds grown too far

have personal knowledge of: A man
here took a timber claim of 100 acres
and planted the first five acres with
cottonwood and willow cuttings. For
some reason they did not grow. The
next spring he planted ten acres with
tree seeds. AS soon as he got the
seeds planted he seeded the ground to
wheat, but the tree seeds made fee

ing with it; let the weeds grow; in the
fall there were no trees to be found.
He then sold his claim.

He left the country with the firm be-
lief that timber could not be raised
here.
There is almost no risk at all to run
in planting trees, If you get live trees
grown anywhere IN South Dakota or
northern Iowa. AS good trees as
have were grown in Sioux City. Five,
ten or more acres of timber, planted
in a workmanlike manner and culti-
waited, would be worth several times
more than money out at interest.

THE IOWA PLATFORM.

Resolved, by the republicans of the
state of Iowa, in convention assembled,
that the record of our party during
more than fifty years of unexampled
national history is the large asset of
the republican party and the pride Of
all republicans; that we earnestly de-
sire the continued supremacy and ex-
panding influence of this great organ
ization, and we hereby renew our ex-
preston of pride in the recent record
of the party in administration and
legislation. We have faith to believe
that the republican party under the
guidance of the people, will meet the
Just public requirements in the fu-
ture as in the past.
1--WE declare unequivocally for pro-
lection as cardinal principle of the
republican party, and we re-affirm our
unalterable purpose to maintain it.
Events have confirmed the wisdom OF
the makers of the national platform of
1904, wherein the party pledged re-
adjustment of rates of duty only when
conditions so change that the public
| interests demand their alterations In
accordance with this declaration OF
| four years ago the republican party
of Iowa endorses the declaration of
| the Ohio republican platform Of this
year in behalf of revision of the tar
| iff by special session of the next
congress, insuring the maintenance OF
| the true principle of protecting by inn
posing such customs duties as will
equal the difference between the cost
of production at home and abroad, to-
| gether with a reasonable profit, to the
end that without excessive duties, AM
erican manufacturers, farmers, pro-
ducers and wage earners may have
| adequate protection.
| Resolved, That we will favor the
nomination of William II. Taft by the
republican national convention to as
semble on the 10th of June. We have
confidence in his ability, his indepen-
dent manhood, his comprehension OF
large and vital public questions, his
uncompromising integrity and his UNI
| faltering courage. We believe him to
be the choice of the republicans of this
state. who have never failed to en-
! dorse the official record of President
Roosevelt Therefore, we unequivoc-
! ally instruct our delegates large to
vote for William II. Taft. and we ear
nestly request them and our district
delegates to use their united influence
in support of the Taft candidacy.
