IS TAFT BLACKMAILED?

''Taft and CummirlS are not alike IN
any characteristic" says the Waterloo
Reporter, and continues. "Taft's rec
ord, public and private, has nothing in
it to warrant the linking Of the names
in any relation. Taft is republican.
He is party man. He has never been
ashamed of his party, and his opinions
have never been quoted by the oppo-
sition against the organization thru
which he hopes to give useful service
to the people"
The Reporter is published by man
who was once valiant defender Of
Cummins but who was disappointed in
seeing another selected as state binder
by an Iowa legislature. However, he
epitomizes the opposition, hence let's
analyze his argument. Taft and Cum
minis have both been leaders of thought
in their party and Taft's utterances in
favor of republican tariff revision have
been quoted by democrats more often
than have those of Cummins, because
Taft spoke from a cabinet position. He
is republican and party man to be
sure, and so is Cummins, in fact Cum
minis has been republican longer than
has Taft, being an older man in years.
''But Taft is a party defender. Cum
minis is party wrecker. Taft is proud
Of his party. Cunlmins has no conf
dence in it's membership or in its hon.
or" says the Reporter.
Cummins has never spoken in pub
lie that he did not defend his party. His
praise of republicanism has sometimes
approached the fulsome. His criticism
has been directed only toward the mis-
takes of his party, while he urged it
to embrace wise policies. He lived to
see his party come to his views upon
regulation of the liquor traffic and with
the nomination of Taft he will see his
party accepting his views as to tar
if revision When he found the state
convention of 1904 against him he
staid in the game and continued to
draw cards.
Taft is not a self-seeker. Cummins
is nothing else" says the Reporter
Taft has held public office continue
ously since 1883 while Cummins was
in private life up to 1901 Allison has
been in congress continuously since
1863, or according to the Reporters
definition he has been self-seeking for
forty-tive years, to Taft's twenty-five
and Cummins' seven.

WASHINGTON AND the s1AHDPATTERs

The banks are closed today and the
bankers are playing golf to remind US
that this is the 18th anniversary OIL
George Washington's birth. The news
papers go on just the same, rappins 'he
standnatters over the head while the
money kings of Big Business are
shouting in their rage at all men l'he
Roosevelt The sun is shining just as
nleasantlv as 1t ever did on that beau-
tiful slope overlooking the potomac
where lived the master Of Mt vernon
and Father of his country.
What would have been the future OF
his country had Washington oeen
standpatter instead of radical ana
disturber like Roosevelt? His people
were being oppressed by the exactlons
OF oyerloads who lived In England.
Taxes were levied and collected from
the many in America, to enrich tne
few who were friends OF King George
yery naturally there arose a progress
siye faction who dared to advocate
change as men dare today to insist that
Rig Business has been profiting by spe-
cial privileges. There We're. too, the
standpatters who spied on the revolu-
tionists and reported their doings TO
the kings friends. But George Wash
iston, who in those days mounted
white horse instead of a Pullman car
and spoke from under the shade OF
giant elm intsead of from the rear
platform of a railroad coach, urged his
people and led them even into war,
restitution and privation, in order to
win their liberty and right to free
chance and fair play Talk about be-
ing a disturber! He practically de-
vastated large part of his country
with his agitation and he was actually
in danger of personal violence from
the standpatters of his day.
The men Of Big Business condemned
him as they do Roosevelt They coun-
seled conservatism as Shaw does to-
day. They actually loaned money to
feed King Georges troops, but the pro-
sressives went on fighting and now
they are the idols of the school histor-
les and the Fourth of July orators.
However, times are little different from
what they were in Washington's day,
except that whereas he marched his
people into the wilderness of their
western frontier to establish capital
city, the center Of population has now
passed hundreds of miles to the west
of it. George was a man born to
wealth and luxury like Roosevelt, but
he had lived in the woods, had learned
to love the wild things and nature, and
his heart had grown big enough to
urge him to fight for better things for
the future and like Roosevelt, he was
rough enough to swear and cuss at the
coat tail performances of the standpat-
tiers of his time.

afraid they can't be trusted says the
Reporter.
When Taft wanted the support of his
state he appealed to the people in a
voluntary primary Of temporary dura-
ton. Cummins has given to the peo-
pie of his state a legalZed statewide
primary which not only takes his APP
peal direct to the people, but compels
all other candidates to obtain their
nominations in the same manner.
Taft is a man of his word; the pow
err of his public office is not used to
promote his own political fortunes.
Cummins is a man whose word is not
worth the paper it is written upon, for
proof of which see the Torbert letter,
says the Reporter
Cummins has been three times elect
ed as governor of his state. He was
assisted the first two times by the Re-
porter. He is known turnout Iowa as
an honest man of clean moral char
acter and so rigidly honest in official
conduct that the Interests" which
have hoped for favors have all fallen
out with him because of their disap-
pointment The Torbert letter did not
contain the promise which the Report
err claims for it and the Reporter knows
that it did not.
"Cummins has used every ounce Of
official pressure to promote his own
political advancement, and will contin-
ne so to use it as long as he has 1t to
use" says the Reporter
This refers in particular to the cleo
ton Of another to the office of state
binder when the publisher of the Re-
porter was a candidate for that place,
which is sufficient evidence that Cnm-
Minis is not a past master in handling
patronage for. didn't he once have the
support of the Reporter and has he not
lost it since? The patronage at a gov
ernors disposal is so small as to be in
hand he has had arrayed against him
the railroad attorneys, every federal
district attorney, every federal revenue
collector, nearly every congressman,
fully eighty per cent of the postmas-
tiers and almost every newspaper with
a postoffice or federal salary attach
ment.
Taft and Cummins! Blackmail them
together. Forsooth! Rot. One can
not be besmirched. The other need
not be painted in any other pigment
than that which his record makes per-
missible.' says the Reporter
And yet the Reporter once shouted
huzzas for Cummins. In those days the
Reporter could meet every charge made
against him. Who has changed, Cum
Minis or his critics? Who is the party
wrecker, the governor three times
elected. or the men who bolt the tick
eft, as the publisher of the Reporter has
done?

men who wish to cash in on the baser

success proves to him that he was
right in assuming that the higher type
Oh business men would come to his aid.
His fight was based upon the law, bu.
he appealed to the public moral sup
rcrters for assistance. In The indie
pendent (New York, January 800 he
writes:
EVERY city is interested in the pro-
lection of it's youth and its women. Ev-
cry city should. therefore. be interested
in the suppression of Sunday traffic.

element and degradation as brought
about by visits to the average Sunday

In the same issue of The Independ-
ert Mr. w. r. Draper gives an account
Of the fight by which the blue laws
rut on the statute books of Missouri
fifty years ago came to be enforced by
Judge Wallace. He says:

dent. r.. NJ Gilmore. has issued an
open letter to the ministers of the

the object of the league is to have a
uniform restrictive saloon license
adopted by all states where prohibition
is not in force, the letter says:
The prohibitory laws that are be-
ing passed in this country merely pro-
hibit the manufacture and sale and do
not prohibit the purchase and use,
and all thinking men know that where
a demand exists it will be supplied

fies the risk in supplying it,

DRAINAGE: LAW NEEDS Filming.
tManson Journal)
our drainage laws are a good thing.

There IS one drain in Calhoun county

rights of the tax payers had been en-
tirely usurped The drain Is located on
and thru sections s, 9 and 16. Center

about three miles in length. The total
cost is In the neighborhood of $1,000.

amount in one year Is more than the
average farme: is capable of doing
without distressing him in many ways.
Take the case of Anton Schofeld, who
Is clerking in Manson. He is COM
PEELED To pay 10000 drainage tax on
his farm, and had no knowledge that
such was the case until a few weeks
ago. Mr. Schofield is not in such
financial condition but what his tax
will become a great burden to him and
his family. Ii the tax mad been Spreau

tax is, he could have handled 1t and
rot been injured. as he Will be in this
case The tax is equally hurdensome
upon number of settlers in that

stances it is great wrong. 1t seems
that the contract for the ditch was
let before the bonds We're sold and
then it became impossible to soil them:
az a consequence the tax falls due
IN one year. The drainage law should
be so amended that 1t would be inn
possible to burden land with such
tax as this to be paid in so short
time II would be better in such
cases to let the land go without drain
ing for a few years. rather than to

simple explanation why such eXemp-
ton would not particularly help the
loaner Is that the loaner in fact lodges
taxation: and the equally simple en-
PLANTATION why such exemption would
probably be In the interest of the Dor
rover is that the exemption would
permit the business of money loaning
to be conducted with fewer risks. and
hence would probably be done by i
larger number of people and at a low
or rate of interest
If every borrower of fair financial
standing Were really convinced that
the exemption of moneys and credits
would result in no material increase i'll

THE passage of laws will not pre-

If this be true. then there Is no
question that the Almighty was wrong
