arguments amount to il there was no

preston were so widespread and con-,

1898, 1894, 1896, 1896? If all these big
Iowa factories were shut down by the
elimination of the protective tariff,

TAFT LABoR's FRIEND.

One of the interesting documents
of the campaign is the letter written
by President Roosevelt to 7. j. Dolan,
secretary-treasurer of the Steam SHOW
ell and Dredse Mems union, in which
the president declares the working
man never had stancher friend in
Office than Mr. Taft. Dolan had written
the president in complimentary tone,
stating that the steam shovel men
believed him to be the best friend or
ganized labor ever had in the White
house, and that they had no fear the
president was going to support a
man as your successor who is going
to be unfair TO organized labor or any
other class of workingmen.' President
Roosevelt in his reply said:
My Dear Mr.. Dolan. i have your
letter of the 18th inst, and am much

Persia is once more center Of
world interest. For decades and CEN
turtles she attracted little general at
tention, and had come to be remember
ed chiefly in connection with the an
Client glory. Persia the great. the
world conquerer, had sunk into an Oh"
scure depotism. She was apparently
out of the path of progress. The
worlds great highways of commerce
and interest passed her by She was
looked upon as one of the somnolent
and decadent nations. The average
newspaper reader could scarcely tell
in what part of the world Persia lies
Now all is changed. The electric cur
rent that seems TO be energizing the
spirits of the older peoples has swept
through Persia. At present she Is ION
the wire in newspaper parlance, al
most daily. The tumults of revolution
and reconstruction rend her. Pro-
gressives and reactionaries are can
nonading each other in the streets of
the nations capital. All is uproar and
turmoil, as the world looks on wonder
ingly and uncomprehendingly. Yet
the student Of nations is calm; for he
perceives that these bloody rendings
and pains and shrieks are but the ac-
compartment of the birth of new
life The people have been granted d
constitution. Self-government is in
sight; and the country is so determin-
ed TO possess this glorious reality that
lit is willing to fight for it.
What is the yeast which has raised
this great ferment in Persia? Let us
admit freely that the new ideals Of
liberty, and of the dignity and worth
and possibilities of the individual man,
introduced by the missionaries, are il,
good part responsible for the new spir-
it in Persia OF course the newspa-
pers have found their way into benign
ed empire, and the reports of emf
grants have been powerful factors, also
But these are only indirect express
sions of that same new life which
the Gospel produces. Wherever the
teaching and spirit of Jesus are car
| ried, there they are certain to beget
new independence, new courage, new
the assertion of the inalienable human
rights
| because Persia has DeSIl granted a
constitution. it must not be supposed
that her troubles are over and hei
needs ended. Now, as never before
she requires the enlightening counsels
of the Gospel. The missionaries, who
have been her truest friends in the
past, have more opportunities for use
fitness now than ever. In this crisis
time, when lives are imperilled, it be
hooves all lovers of the kingdom to re
member at the throne of grace tbs
men and women who are laboring in
Persia for the coming of that kingdom
which is more glorious than any con
stitutional government.

For Jehovah forgives sins. That is

To David it came like great and

and mercy. God he found, will blot
out sin, and remove il as Tar as the
east is from the west. and he will re-

was essential that some plan should

which Iowa is paid a compliment Mr.
Hanhart gave New Workers. view Of

on everything beyond the borders OF
his own state as 'the west" his COM

He said
To the Editor of the Sun--Sir: /
have just returned from short trip
to Denver, where | attended the
American Bankers associations an
nual convention. We passed through
a good many states-New York, Ohio
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Kan
sas and Colorado. OF all these Iowa
was the most pleasing to me: it is 4
purely agricultural state, with prac-
tically no large cities within its bor-
deIs. The tilling of the land was ap-
parently very thorough. and the farms,
with buildings and fences in fine or
der, and the sleek cattle, We're a pleas
ure to behold. Some automobiles
were to be seen. Many of the farm
houses have modern improvements %
all sorts, and the farmers have been
SO successful during the last ten
years that mortgages have practically
all been paid off, farmers sons and
daughters go to college, and indeed |
heard of many taking European trips.
! What a wonderful country Is this
land of ours! Only two generations
ago Iowa was but a pioneer state with
a small population and heavily in
ldebt
| Mr.. Hanhart is evidently a man who
knows how to enjoy travel He does
not shut his eyes to the scenes dis
played from the car windows as the
concluding paragraph of his letter in
the Sun indicates. Re concludes:

said. the skies are brighter, the grass
