DEATH OF /. E. sEEse.

L. e. Beebe died at Memphis, Tenn.
last Thursday. He was born in Mad
ison Co. New York, June 22d, 1923.
and at the time Of his death was IS
years, months and days old.
The deceased in his early manhood
engaged In the oil business in Penn.
He came to Delaware county in 1866
and purchased $50 acres of land near
the town Of Delaware. He also pur-
chased two farms near independence
and one in Beuna Vista county. For
many years he was one Of the most
extensive and successful farmers and
dairymen In this part Of Iowa. He
established creamery at Delaware
and another one at independence
Later he engaged in mining enter
prise. promoted by Governor John H.
Gear, and in several manufacturing
ventures in this county and in Chi
cago, losing heavily In all Of them.
But no man ever met financial re-
verses with more fortitude and; hon
orable conduct. Everyone he owed
was paid in full. and all moral obi
cations were made good. In this
part Of his work he was loyalty as
sisted and encouraged by his good
wife. Caroline, who died at their
home near Delaware not long after
their financial troubles.
Some time ago the deceased con.
cluded that warmer climate would
better suit his advancing years, and
IN furtherance of that conclusion he
purchased SAG acre farm miles
from Baton Rouge, La, where he
has spent the greater part Of his time
for the past dozen years or more.
He started north for visit with
Delaware county friends just prior
to his last sickness, but got no fur
Their than Memphis before 1t was
considered advisable for him to go
no further until he improved. But no
improvement came and he died be
fore he was able to even return home
The deceased never had any child
rem. The only surviving member Of
his family is his second wife, who
is taking the body Of her deceased
husband to Hubbardsville New York
for interment.

NO ENTHUSIASM FOR TAFT.

AAo AoAAoWiA6 dAIiSlc All lie SulCd.
so Tribune, by Willis j. Abbot, gives
an account of Taft's recent visit to
Chicago and his chilly reception
Mr.. Taft's burst into Chicago,
which find described in certain
newspapers as the beginning of "a
whirlwind campaign" was about as
spectacular as the appearance of
clam at low tide. Mr.. Taft came
to the Auditorium Annex escorted by
few personal friends. There was
no throng gathered about that gran.
lite structure; there was no appeal
for speech, and even the postal
cards sent out by Mr.. Upham, as.
sistant treasurer of the republican
national committe, failed to draw
forth the throng anticipated.
Mr.. Taft spoke at Orchestra hall,
an auditorium which seats scant
1000 people. It was not crowded
About the middle of Mr.. Taft's speech
/, mere democrat, found no diff
Guilty in finding seats for myself and
four others in box. strolled about
the neighborhood to find whether
there might be an overflow meet
ing. Ordinarily when SO small hall
is selected for the grafton of a pres.
idential candidate everything over
flows. Personally l have seen Madi.
son Square garden, which seats cas-
lily $4,000 people, crowded to the roof
and impassioned speakers on the out
side addressing great groups when
Bryan or Hearst or Hughes spoke
there.
Not Like Bryan Greeting.
In commenting in this way upon
the cold reception which Taft receiy-
ed in Chicago am not limiting my
self to merely partisan lines. Mr..
Bryan was in Detroit on the 22d; he
was also in Ann Arbor, Mich. on the
same day. The state ofsMichigan has
always been as thoroughly republic
can as the state of Pennsylvania. But
in the small town of Ann Arbor, with
less than 10000 people, his audience
was estimated at $4,000.
In Detroit, which has been repub-
lican city. in a republican state, he
spoke in great armory that held
not less than 5000 people and talked
to half as many outside its doors at
an overflow meeting. The sergeant
at arms WHO accompanied him to theI
a:moiy informs me it was fight toll
get through the crowd clustered abortl
the entrance and another fight to get
him away in safety to his train.
There was no such ebullition of
public sentiment when Mr.. Taft
reached Chicago. There we're police
massed about his line Of
'ravel to the Auditorium Annex, but
here was not one spectator to one
policeman. There was no struggle
lmong the ordinary populace to grasp
MS hand or to enter the small hall
n which he delivered his address.
When he returned to the hotel the

only throng apparent was that Of 8!
st of socialists numbering possibly.
80 to 100, who were preaching every. !!
thing Taft was opposing. In q long.
experience of political meetings I!
never saw one quite SO futile as Mr..
Taft's first entrance upon politics in
the city of Chicago. 4
Roosevelt In Fray.
Shortly Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Taft
will be guests Of the Commercial
association of Chicago at dinner.
The properties of the occasion will
naturally prevent the discussion of
partisan politics. And yet 1t seems
probable two men who are candidates
for the highest office In the gift Of
the American or any other people
can hardly fail to touch ON public
questions Particularly does this
seem to be true at this moment when
Mr. Taft as the heir apparent to Pres
ident Roosevelt will find 1t neces-
sary to defend the policies Of his
sponsor in politics.
President Roosevelt has gone out
Of his way to dash into the political
fight. He has been writing letters
with an ayidity and vigor that
iAske 1t appear his whole purpose is
to secure a successor whom he can
control lie is not running for office.
but apparently 1t is his purpose to
lead the people to believe 1t is be
and not Taft who is the candidate.
So far we have been unable to ex-
hort from Taft any indication Of the
policies which he desires to pursue
except those which Roosevelt has out
: lined.

Borrowed Editorials.

It is a singular fact that while
Mr.. Bryan gets his electoral
votes in the South he never has
a word to say on the negro ques-
ton.
The Democratic candidate for
vice-president ought to be a man
who will measure up to what
Senator Lodge calls the "undis-
covered future" of the party.
Politics is such favorite pas
time in Iowa that the Republi-
cans of that state could not
spare either Senator Dolliver or
Gov. Cummins for the national
ticket this year.
President Roosevelt has been
bitterly denounced for stealing
Col. Bryan's thunder, and now
the colonel is denouncing the Re-
publican party for not putting
more of this thunder in the ma
tional platform adopted at Chi
cago.
In the weakness of the Re-
publican ticket" says a Georgia
paper, lies the Democratic op-
portunity." Georgia's unin-
structed delegation to Denver
looks like a search for some sort
of opportunity to escape the
weakness of Bryan.

Whatever may be said about
the convention and it's acts, po-
litically, it has been a money
maker for the State particularly
for Denver. The week has been
procession of depositors from
all over the country, who,
through the channels opened for
expending, have kept a steady
stream of money emptying into
the Denver banks. The bank
book of every business man in
Denver will show a larger bal
ance sheet this week than for a
long time before or perhaps to
come.

A number of citizens of Delta
county have informed the editor
of the INDEPENDENT of their de-
sire to be candidates before the
Republican county convention
for one or another of the county
offices. 1t is not the intention of
this paper to either discuss or
encourage candidates to any par
ticular extent. So far as in
formed and to the extent of our
acquaintance, they are all excel
lent men and, as rule, good
material for the offices they
would be willing to accept. But,
bye and bye, there will be a
county convention and they will
or should all have a chance at
the nominations. When the nom
nations are made, the INDEPEN-
DENT expects to do all it can in
a fair way and by hard work, to
help elect the ticket nominated.

Patriotism m an inch thick
adorned the sidewalks in Delta
the evening of the Fourth.
There were the shattered re-
mains of fire crackers, remnants
of torpedoes, literally sprinkled
with confetti and other kinds of
breakfast food. The whole mass
was a fortune suggester to the
inventor of new cereal foods. In
the saw-dust were the torpedo
pebbles and the red wrappers
from the exploded crackers gave
it the fruity, predigested ap-
pearance of popular new diet.

Of all the idiotic expressions
that were known to eminate
from man supposed to be both

advice of Ex-Governor Thomas

the most nutty. No other man
in America could equal it even
after taking an overdose of fool

care will be exercised in the
convention management, so that
offices may be wisely appor-
toned over the county and at
the same time, all candidates be
given just as fair show as pos
sible to be a peoples choice.

There is more danger than ad-
vantage in the ability of any one
man high in power to WELD too
great influence. America is not
a Kingdom, and every man in it
has a right to his opinion and
his little say. If even a Presi-
dent should be accorded absolute
control, Congress and the Senate
had as well be abolished. This
is not a one man government,
and let us hope that it never will
be.

How Workers
Are Aided.

The Department of Commerce
and Labor is doing a service for
the cause of labor which was not
contemplated at the time the de-
partment was established, al
though that is only five years
ago. Secretary Straus has started
out to find employment for many
of the idle workers, and at the
same time to aid the employers
who want workers and who do
not know where to look for them.
He has just mailed over l, 600. 600
double postal cards to rural en-
ployers all over the country,
asking how many persons they
want, and what sort of work
they have to do. The answers
which he will receive will be
communicated to the great bust
ness centers of the country,
where the idle workers reside,
and addresses will be furnished
which will doubtless enable many
of the present idle persons to
get work.
This is a large task, but the
departments chief has organized
the machinery to perform it.
His object is to shift the present
mass of idle persons to the places
which are waiting for them, and
thus will benefit worker and en-
ployer. The immediate object
of the new departure is to fur
nish workers for the harvest
fields. At this time almost every
year, or few weeks later than
this, there are loud appeals from
the wheat fields of Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Kansas and the other
states of the Central West for
men to aid in gathering the
crops. The closing of some of
the factories in the present bust
ness setback ought to make
workers for the harvest fields a
little more plentiful than in re-
cent years.
But the difficulty is to bring
the men who want work and the
men who are looking for work
ers together. This is easy in
the large centers, where in the
most active of seasons some idle
persons can be found. But such
persons are seldom met with in
the rural regions. When the
farmer needs extra "help" one
way in which he expects to get
it is by advertising in the news
papers of the big towns nearest
to him. But the Department of
Agriculture has set out to simp-
lily his task, and that of the
worker who seeks employment.
1t is to be hoped that it will sue
ceed. The country will watch
the experiment with much inter-
est. Secretary Straus' work is
"paternalism," but it is work
which the country will applaud.
