No permanent good

wise and fair. No permanent good
can be gained by trying to get a little
partisan advantage by such law. 1t
is beneath the dignity Of the repub-
licans of Iowa. Our cause is just
and right Taft will have sweep
ing majority in the state. and the in
creased interest in senatorial con-
test Will Indirectly help him by bring
ing ont the republican vote. That is
legitimate; but to try to whip people
into line in so obvious a manner, is
contrary TO the spirit of our laws.
The same may be said of cur state.
Congressional and even county candi-
dates. they will be helped if the en-
tire republican vote is brought to the
polls, but that is ali the help to which
they are entitled by legislative enact
ment.
The whole question resolves itself
into one of decency and fairness and
the ability to rise above ward politics
applied to state affairs.
The Primary vote is advisory only
tothe legislative candidates.
Any man who votes for the repub-
lican legislative candidates has the
right to advise them.
No others have.
No man has greater right to adj
wise a republican legislative candi-
date because he happens to vote for
six or for twenty other republicans,
who have nothing whatever to do with
the election of United States Senator.

This is year of harmony and the
Review is glad that the olive branch
has been extended to the faithful by
those who have been fighting the re-
publican ticket in Crawford for a
number of years past. 1t is pleasing
to know that they are ready to for
give themselves. spit on the states
they have dirtied. forget the deeds
of yesterday and work only for to-day
and Tomorrow
If these same men had been loyal
two years ago nearly every repub-
lican on our county ticket would have
been elected. The gain in the county
precincts where the republicans were
loyal proves this. We are glad to
have these republicans with us again.
We are glad that they are to re-
turn to the fold no matter what their
motives. and we trust that they
will allow US to remain in the ranks.

The Des Moines Register and Lead
er contains good portrait of DR..
Emory Miller. who after fifty splen-
did years of service is about to retire
from the Methodist ministry. Rev.
DR.. Miller has great brain and a
still greater heart. Not alone by
precept, but by example. he has done
the Lords work we'll. The Methodist
ministry of Iowa suffers district loss
in his retirement and it is to be hoped
that he will not give up the work
entirely. While perhaps the charge of
a congregation is to heavy a burden
for his years. still we believe it
would be an inspiration to many
churches if they could hear him from
time to time. and our Methodist
friends will make a great mistake if
they fail to utilize his very exception
al ability.

To our notion the S. of VS., the
D. A. RS. and other similar orgaizn-
ations are perfectly proper and in good
taste. 1t is Legitimate to be proud
of ones forebears. and honoring a
worthy ancestry has decided tendency
to make descendants strive to be
worthy. This is supposed to be the
chief object of such societies and I'M
less they are unfaithful to this high
mission, they deserve no criticism.

NEED SUPPLY SHIPS SHOULD PREPARE FOOD FOR EMERGENCIES OR WAR. xG Has Been Most Serious Problem to Supply the Battle

 NeceBsawy Provisions.

Washington. Nov. 25.-Paymaster General. E.. B. Rorgers,.. in. his report lays particular stress upon tho necessity for providing the storage of supplies for the navy both on shore and at sea, so that in time of war there may be no embarrassment be- cause of a shortage of food supplies The most serious problem of the year. he says has been for the supply of the Atlantic and Pacific fleets. He says that ships should be provided to carry at least 150 days provisions independent of stores in store rooms This should be accomplished by pro- vtding one supply ship fro eight ves- ] sells of the first class. such supply ships to have rNSzLgeratiag rooms ana mot be lees than 1900 tons displace- ment. He recommends that two such supply ships be authorized by Con- gress.
 He asks for a fireproof building at New York navy yard for storage purposes.
 He refers to the work simplifying the methors of accounting in his bu- Teau and says that the naval supplies ' are now being purchased from a lar ger number of firms than ever before. The number of bids received during the year was 45.633 against 3s.631 last year The number of bidders was '13.413 against 11.o57 last year
 An incdease of 1s 1-2 per cent in the pay of the navy yard clerks is ask ed. The inspection of meats has been made more strict and the quality of food stuffs for the navy yards has
 been improved.

Anniston, Nov. 25-(SpeciaL) )--Ac- cording to a telephone message receiv- ed here today, United States govern rnent ofncers last night had a battle with Illicit distillers in the vicinity of Pine Tucky, CIeburne County. which re- suited in the release of two prisoners and a runaway.
 Deputy Collector S. T. Fowler and Deputy Marshal George King, went to thig neighborhood yesterday with the purpose of destroying an Illicit still and capturing the operators.
 Last night they succeeded in locat- lng the still, destroyed it and arrested TShn Floyd and his brother-in-law. by enArs handcuf9ed in hack. the officers started on their return trip.
 Some one, said to have been Jim Floyd, a brother of Floyd, opened fire on tEe officers from the roadside in an attanapt to rescue the prisoners. The efacers returned the fire, but the shoot inm frightened the team, which ran avsay,. upsetting the hack and throw gnk the occupants to eSe ground,
 Rhe prisoners escaped AIthough man. acled and up to the time of the tele- phone message. had not been recap. tured. The officers are searching for them.
 Jim Floyd is considered a desperate man. A few months ago he and an other white man got into light at negro church with some negroes, in which several negroes were killed and Fioyd was severely cut. 1t was alleged that Floyd had been iu the habit of yis- ting the negro church with whiskey, which he sold to the blacks and that it was over something of this nature that the quarrel arose.

SILENCE NOT GOLDEN IN
 CASE. OF LOUIS VERNON

In the case of Louis Vernon. young white boy of Montgomery, silence proved itself otherwise than golden, which quality is proverbially ascribed to the lack of speech. For if Louis had talked at the police court, he would not now be languishing in tail.
 For Louis Vernon had been arrested in the company of Eugene Shell and Lee Hines. for car burglary. The other two. versed in the ways of court and trials, waived examination before Judge Baher. and were bound over. It seems that there was no case against Louis. but instead of telling his story to the recorder. he main tained a bewildered silence while hIs companions in captivity waived exam ination. And. knowing not what he did. he waived also. And now he wants to get out.
 His appeal for freedom. on a writ of hAbeas corpus. was heard before Judge l sayre Wednesday, Vernon being de- | fended by John A. Fillmore. But the judge decreed that the boy. In waiv- | Ing examination, even inadvertently. had thereby waived all rights of lib- erty until his trial.
