Newett Sizes up the Situation.

George A. Newett, editor of the
Ishpen.ing Iron Ore, in last weeks
issue Tlade the following comment on
the bernatorial situation in Michi-
gan and the candidacy OF Governor
Warner to succeed himself:
The gubernatcrial situation in
Michigan is a trifle uncertain at this
writing, but it will all Clear up in
good time. Governor Warner is do
ing a little talking to the people in
the upper peninsula as we'll as in the
lower portion of the state. Those
who are trying to make themselves
believe he is a back number or that
he has no support had better take
another look. He has many friends
and they will be heard from in the
fall primaries. Warner has always
stood ty the upper peninsula in all
that was fair and right, and deserves
credit for being a clean man. Polit-
fcal sentiment changes rapidly. The
party whip is no longer feared as it
was won't to be in times gone by, and
some OF the old guard, who have
been schooled to give nothing and
take everything, will have to grow
asccuctomed to the new order of
things They will, also have to be-
come little more elastic in their
consideration Of public matters and
a little broader OF gauge in consider
ing The opposition. The world is
just q little different, now. It is
said Of Mr.. Warner that he has de-
veloped into politician. That
doesn't alarm us. We have seen
manv men so characterized. It is al
so being said of Roosevelt, Taft, Bry-
an AMI others Of national promi-
hence, and there's no law against it
that VIC have been able to find. A
man who deals with things political
is probably politician. If he is of
the kind that wins he is certainly
one. If of the KIND that loses he
lacks political sagacity and may not
be classed by the former title. All
this talk about Warner being a poll
ticia1 is sheer nonsense. If he is
the right sort of man we have
nothing to fear from his politics.
We have heard nothing charged
against him of criminal nature, or
anything that brings discredit upon
him or his administration of state
affairs.

thorough knowledge of the needs of
the agricultural community, in

WATTEKSON GIVES 1T up.

What Col. Henry Watterson, the in
yentor of the Gov. Johnson president
ial boom, is saying nowadays is worth
being considered. In New York on the
day that Mr.. Bryan reached there Mr..
Watterson said
'Bryan will be the democratic can
aidate without doubt. AS for the boom
for Gov. johnson it came too late. If
the people who are now SO clamorous
for johnson had backed me when | was
booming him year ago, he might have
had chance.
Taft will certainly be nominated by
the republicans. II the convention is
stampeded for Roosevelt, he will refuse
the nomination and demand the calling
OF a second convention. l believe we
have good chance to elect Bryan"
This is not the expression Of Mr.
Watterson's ideas after any especial
conversation with Mr.. Bryan. He said
that much in Washington more than a
month ago. 1t is simply the final ex-
preston of opinion of veteran OF
politics and of journalism, man who
has never been regarded as an idolater
of Bryan, but who as competent
journalist and keen observer OF
politics is able to say what he thinks
and to give reason for his thinking.

IOWA'S JOKE,

1t must have been a practical Joker
who wrote the platform recently adopt
ed by the republicans of Iowa. The
platform says: I'VE declare unequivoc
ally for protection as the cardinal prin-
clple OF the republican party and we
affirm our unalterable purpose to main
tain it, This is the introduction, not
very encouraging to a tariff reformer,
but behold what follows: events that
confirmed the wisdom of the makers of
the national platform of 1904 wherein
the party pledged readjustment of rates
OF duty only when conditions so changed
that the public interest demanded their
alteration. In accordance with this
declaration OF four years ago, the re-
publican party of Iowa endorses the
declaration of the Ohio republican plat
form of this year in behalf of revision
of the tariff by special session of next
congress, etc."
What sarcasm there is in pointing to
the promise made in the platform of
1904, which has not been kept, as a
basis for new promise which the party
has no intention of keeping. Or possibly
the Iowa joker intended to put the
emphasis upon the word only. If so,
the platform was not a promise to re-
adjust the tariff when conditions
changed, but merely a promise that
there would be no reduction before
that time. The platform does not saw
that the time has arrived for a reduc-
ton or that there will be reduction.
Referring to it's promise that there
shall be no readjustment until condi-
tions change, it endorses a revision of
the tariff maintaining the principle of
protection, etc. Now Secretary Taft
tells us that revision means the raising
of some schedules and the lowering
of others, without telling us what
schedules are to be raised and what
lowered.
If the republicans who favor tariff re-
form can be deceived by the Juggling
that is going on in the writing of plat
forms, they are not as wide awake as
they have given us reason to believe.
If the republican leaders in Iowa
had been entirely frank they would
have said "We point to the fact that
the promise of four years ago is still
unfulflled, and we make another prom
Use just like it. We have no more
thought of keeping it than we had then.
We fooled the public before, and we
expect to do so again.
If the people want tariff reform, they
must get it from the democratic party.

Rev. Weary informs us of serious
accident which occurred to Robert Ha-
gan, of the Bethel neighborhood, Tues
day of last week. He had gone to
Pleasanton to trade and was returning
when one Of his team, a colt, refused to
go across a bridge. He got out to lead
it across the bridge and that is the last
that he remembers. The team was
found and caught some distance from
the bridge and the parties going back
on the road found Mr.. Hagan laying by
the side of the road unconscious and he
remained in that condition until he had
been gotten nearly home. One side OF
his face was badly bruised, his false
teeth broken, and it is the superstition
that when he got out to lead the colt
across the bridge that it made lunge
and Knocked him down with the above
results. He has since gotten along al.
right and will soon be fully recovered
