POISONING WELLS.

Insinuation is the device Of the
small souled and diminutive, the resort
Of the treacEerous and the cowardly.
To attack character by base insinua
ton and unfounded innuendo is the
copyright and trademark OF meanness.
None but scoundrels resort to 1t as
weapon against reputation. Only the
political well-poisoner uses 1t In poll
tics. It's use affords prima facie evil
dence Of a character prone to envy.
hate of better men. and calumny
Some whose fear of personal chastise-
ment denies them it's use against pri-
vate citizens who have incurred their
enmity. feel free to fnsinuate shame
less character of public men, whose
records are irreproachable, and by
hint and whisper seek to convey sus-
picion that they dare not voice. To
the credit of the profession, few news
papers are guilty Of the crime Few
editors even in the heat Of campaigns
or the bitterness of disappointment,
reach such abasement.
The insinuation that the Iowa state
house is a den of immortality is simply
base insinuation. utterly without
truth, and lacking even the foundation
Of rumor. It's purpose is as plain and
open as it's villainy Perhaps there was
never a cleaner set of men under any
state house roof than those who now
fill the offices to which Iowa has
chosen them. If there is an assertion
against their morals no one has heard
1t. From a moral standpoint the adj
ministrative offices are occupied by
representative men of commonwealth
that insists on personal cleanliness In
candidates for high office.
Why should men who have lived
open lives, whose neighbors and asso-
ciates know are upright and clean, be
the object of slanderous and scurril
innuendo? If any newspaper knows of
immortality among the objects of its
rabid political hate, why does 1t not
make the facts public? Why poison
wells in the dark?

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Cedar Rapids Republican says:
THE presidency of the United States is
the greatest office in the world. Our
government is republic, nevertheless
our chief executive exercises more in
fluence in governmental affairs than
the king of England or the emperor OF
Germany many times over. We are not
selecting a chautaUqua lecturer, a
platform speaker or preacher. We are
selecting an executive for the greatest
nation on earth Which of the two
leading candidates, Taft or Bryan is
best qualified for this tremendous
trust?" inquiries the Republican. This
is the question that is up to the voters
two weeks from today"
