IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.
] The Eldora Ledger expresses the be-
lief that III there is no practical re-
vision OF the tariff schedules as has
been promised in platform and cam
well fold up their tents four years
from hence and quietly steal away, for
at least four years OF reflection"
"A newspaper which makes a dis
elimination between members Of DIFF
ferent political parties In its business
dealings could not make any claims OF
treating all of its patrons on the
square," asserts the Grundy Democrat.
Tho democratic Anamosa Journal
says The republican papers In big
headlines told that Taft and Roosevelt
would make q fight on Cannon for
speaker and would defeat him They
found that they could not defeat him
1t Is now told that Uncle Joe has sur
rendered to them and will aid in gen.
uine tariff reform All who believe
that he has surrendered stand on your
heads" jeers the Journal You will
find that Cannon In the house and
Sherman in the senate will give only
such tariff concessions as they fit"
Noting that New England shoe man
ufacturers say they can stand the re-
moval of the tariff on shoes provided
hides are placed on the free list,
Good aexclaims the Odebolt Chron-
icle. Let both duties be removed.
The tariff on hides doesn't benefit the
man who raises the steer; it aids the
packer--the last man. as james G.
Blaine said. who needs protection The.
packer buys the steer at his own fig
ure and gets the hide thrown in: then
he charges what he pleases for the hide!
and when 1t is made into shoes the
farmer pays tho import hide price and
the duty also when he buys pair. Free
hides will save fifteen per cent to the
buyer of shoes, provided shoes are
duty free
Commenting on the announcement
from washington that the fight on
Speaker Cannon has fallen thru, but
that fight will be made to modify the
rules of the house. the Sioux City
Journal says: The proposed program
is much more logical than an attempt
to punish Speaker Cannon for doing
what he was empowered to do"
Some of the tariff revisionists will
be UP against the powerful fact that
the government needs the, money" says
the Cedar Rapids Republican. "A tar
iff for revenue nowadays would neces-
sarily have to be about as high as
duties on Iuxuries.' says some. Luxur-
les? Name a luxury that is not at the
present time tariff taxed from 50 to
100 per cent"
"If there is good evidence that Col
Hepburn has been cheated out of the
he should demand a re-
says the Boone News Repub- !
lican, but unless the evidence is clear,
a recount would be worse than USE
less, for it would stir up bad blood"
The Carroll Herald tells us that "Ora |
the well known Des Moines !
man, Is Governor Garst's
private secretary He has long been
a devoted supporter and friend OF the
governor and possesses every element /
Of fitness for the work of secretary to !
the governor. Mr.. Williams was al
Dallas county boy and long ago ac-
CURED proud standing among the
men of the state. Carroll i
approve the selection of Ora Williams 7
for the place"
when Colonel Hepburn serves no-t
tice of contest Br'er Jameson may
lay in provisions and ammunition suf- t
lcient for a sustained SIEGE" says the (
Sioux City Journal.
knowledge is money as well as
power" says the Orange City Herald.
The man who knows his. business
thoroughly makes more profit than
one who is always guessing"
The Spencer Reporter believes the
circle should be restored, and counted
l. straight vote except where the voter
marks for some one in another ticket
oy placing a cross in the square. This
method of voting 1t says, lis simple
Ind easy to count and not liable to
cause error
Remarking that the third party pro- !
libition candidate for president. says
hat the election of Cummins to the
senate was a calamity for prohibition,
he Brooklyn Chronicle says He would
rave found it difficult to say anything
nora foolish CumminS is for DrOlli-
oition whenever and wherever prohi-
,ition can be enforced, and is for law
