The Iowa City Republican recalls
that the Republicans of Iowa stood by
the men who enacted the Mckinley
NV and they indorsed tae men who
voted for the Dingley law which
brought prosperity a dozen years ago.
And it makes the safe prediction that
the rank and file of the Republicans Of
Iowa will stand by the men who will
enact the present law and will con-
denim the filibusters who tried to help
defeat all tariff legislation.

But the prediction made then never

Oh. could there in this world be found
Some little spot of happy ground
Without the village tattling.

Were all reduced to one or two,
And they were painted red and blue,
That every one might know them.

THE MILK in THE COCOANUT.

1t is now whispered that there was
stronger power than mere conscience
which drove the Democratics who saw
ed Cannon's face on the subject of the
rules of the House recently to vote as
they did. That power is said to reside
in Rome, and is the same which turn
ed Tammany and the Baltimore Sun,
as well as many others, from Bryan to
Taft. 1t is reported that Charley Muir
ply, Tammany's head, tried to force
more New York members into Repub-
lican line than went. The plan die
-tated by Rome is to support Mr.. Taft's
administration throughout. This order
came last fall and is still in force. But
Sulzer bolted, and now Murphy is after
his scalp. We call attention to one
fact, and that is that not word derog
atory to Tammany since it deserted to
Taft last fall has ever appeared in any
Republican paper. Contrast this with
what used to be said, and study the sit
uation. Find what are the religious
affiliations OF Fitzgerald and his follow
ers and that May simplify matters.
The whole thing is interesting, but
must be talked of under your breath.

HOUSE TOO LARGE.

The House is too large to
transact business, we are told, unless
all but about q dozen mem bers are
hand cuffed and gagged. 1t follows
of course that all the business transact
ed is right and proper, and it never oc-
CURED to the public that the House to
make it ideal ought to be RACED down
to few actual members so that the
business could be transacted. But this
end has been accomplished by hand
cutting and gagging all but about that
glorious dozen. 1t never occurred to
anybody that talk is cheaper than 81
lence there. Bnt it is many millions
cheaper. Nobody would ever dare say
that 1t would be cheaper or better to
leave two-thirds of the "busineSs" as
they call it undone, than to gag free
speech and turn the country's represen-
tatives into set of puppets to rise just
as old Joe pulled the string, thus
squandering millions every minute.

A CANNON APOLOGIST

The reelection of Mr.. Cannon as
speaker had no bearing especially on
the change in the rules, although he
was regarded as the real leader of the
regulars Both republicans and demo-
Gratis like Uncle Joe and are very well
pleased with him as presiding officer.
In the enforcement of the rules he was
the Instrument of the house. When
playing tyrant he was carrying out the
orders of the republican majority.
While despOt he was made SO, but he
was a benevolent one, and there is no
just ground for believing that he is in
sincere in his statement that he ap-
proves the changes made in the rules.
We are inclined to think that the
moderate changes secured under the
leadership of Mr.. Fitzgerald of Brook
Ign, in opposition 30 the program of
Mr.. Clark, leader of the democratic
party Ia the house, go about far enough,
and that the effect will be very salts
factory in the conduct of the business
before the body.-Staunton Daily Dis
patch, March 18th.
Our esteemed Republican contempt
rary, the Staunton Dispatch, will have
a hard time convincing the most
sceptical Democratic reader that your
Uncle Joe Cannon is only an ''instru-
ment of the House. in enforcing the
rules, or that when he is s'playing ty-
rant he is only carrying out the orders
of the Republican majority, or that
while despot he is "a benevolent
one" We live too close to Washing
ton to be crammed with this kind of
apology for that old we'll known ty-
rants methods. We think it will take
some additional evidence also to bring
them around to the belief that he sin
cerely approves the changes made in
the rules. The changes are inconse-
quencial we know, but he would never
have agreed to them except under pres
sure. They were forced on him. But
we are not surprised that our ReDubli-
can friends of the Dispatch think the
rules ego about far enough" 1t was a
Republican victory, but very doubt
full one, as it was secured by species
of bride known as place giving. We
cannot, however, find fault with your
Uncle Joe Cannon for making the deal,
he is used to them we suppose, he
seems SO apt. When men can be
bought he and his party make a rule
of buying them. Their unvarying rule
Is "buy them-buy all you need"

ROAD IMPROVEMENT.

The supervisors did not take any ac-
tive or definite steps at their meeting
on Monday with reference to road i'm
provement. 1t is conceded, however,
that they will likely be more active in
the future. 1t has now been two years
since the Churchville road was begun,
and eight miles are not yet completed.
Should the same slow gait be followed
it will be years before much is done. 4
crusher for each district and another
steam roller would make swonderfu'
change. If they want to accomplish
results they should strike while tht
iron is hot, because everybody is alert
and ready to help.
