SHAW SEES NATIONAL PERIL.
Leslie M. in chautauqua Address OPP
poses Initiative and Referendum.

Chautauqua, N. Y, July 31.-Sen-
ators and Representatives are too close
to the people now, according to former
Secretary OF the Treasury Leslie NJ
Shaw, who made a red-fot speech on
Evolution in Matters Governmental"
here. Agitation for direct primary,
initiative and referendum and popular
election of senators were branded poll
teal heresy. Either Hearst or La Fol-
lette would be the next president if
Mr.. Shaw predicted. Also, the power
exercised by President Roosevelt, IL
welded by an unprincipled man, would
enable him to perpetuate his regime for
$4,000 years, said Mr.. Shaw.
Popular demand for Intervention by
President Taft in the present tariff bill
was declared revolutionary.
1--WE are too busy to study questions
ourselves, and We will. not concede that
those whom we have selected for this
particular task, who listen to evidence
in committee rooms and to discussions
at close range, are better prepared to
judge of the merits than we who never
think, never analyze, but are controlled
by sentiment" said Mr.. Shaw. THE
direct primary, more especially the
election of United States senators by
direct vote of the people and most GER
tainly, the initiative and refer7 odum,
spell revolution for the government as
founded by the fathers and political
heresy
IF Theodore Roosevelt. William H.
Taft and William Jennings Bryan were
each to die, and the people should nom
mate candidates in the two great poll
teal parties, the nominees would be
William Randolph Hearst and Robert
NJ. La Toilette. The rate bill is all
right under President Roosevelt and
his successor. Some time the Amer
lean people will elect man, who.
clothed with such power can keep him
self. in office while he lives, and per-
petuate his regime for $4,000 years
THE public congratulations of Presi-
dent Taft's reported intervention in the
tariff bill, compelling congress to insert
measures which would not have passed
either house, indicate that the people
were filed with delight as they saw
one of the landmarks established by
the nations founders swept away"

ver.atIls Destiny.

A man becomes fan and soon loses
his hearth and home. Another yearns
to shuttle OF this mortal coil and gets
kicked into prison cell by his hasty
father. Another learns to his surprise,
as thousands have learned before him
in various ways, that there are all
kinds of unsupported dangers in sit
ting on a sofa with young woman.
A wife may spring divorce, father
may take a sudden notion to kick or
spank, and lightning may yank an in
nocent young man away from his girl
and make dents in the ceiling with
him. Destiny is a surprisingly versa
tile thing, with million and one ways
OF knocking human plans galley-west.

The fact that the new tariff baby

EDUCATION VERSUS FORTUNE.

This is the time of year to plan to
send the boy or girl to college You
coulnd't make a better plan.
Instead Of laying up the money to
give them after You are dead give them
.the best education obtainable and fit
them for living. If your boy and cir!
have the right kind of stuff in them an
education will be worth more to them
than fortune
Rivalry for supremacy is far keener
today than it was twenty or thirty
years ago and the person without edu-
cation stands poor show of advance
ment-
Put the young people in line for pro-
motion by giving them a chance for a
broad and thorough education.

THE FARMER AND FREE LIST.

WEBSTER City 'recman-Tribune.]
The Iowa farmer can afford to
have hides placed on the free list in
the new tariff law if proper reduc-
ton be made in impost duties on
manufacturers of leather. Yet the
standpatters are trying to make the
farmers believe they will suffer ir-
reparable injury from the transfer of
hides to the free list. One thing is Ger
tain, If the farmers of the west really
want a downward revision of the tar
iff they must expect some OF the pro-
ducts OF the farm to be among the
commodities upon which reductions are
made. The question of tariff reduction
is one that involves more than mere
reduction in the things we consume. If
the west did not understand this last
fall the west is not as intelligent as we
had believed. However, we have heard
Of little complaint Of the reduction of
hides, except from quarters that hope
to make political capital by widening
the breach in the republican party It
must not be understood, however, that
Iowa wants a reduction in hides I'M
less there are also reductions on the
things manufactured from hides.

TAFTs TARIFF ROLE.

ICedar Rapids Republican
We like President Taft and think
him sane and able man. but the tariff
role they have made him play during
the past few days is not a very noble
one. He has made "a stand for few
things and the newspapers have played
these up "to beat the band" but as a
matter of fact they do not amount to
much. He has been made to insist on
a duty of $1.25 on lu1nber-but why not
free lumber as we'll as free hides? And
gloves, what are gloves compared with
the big steel and wooden schedules?
Some of the men in Washington seem
to think that the people are easily
fooled and Aldrich is not the only man
who thinks so, If he thinks so at all,
which is doubtful.

THE FOOLISH FpAR OF DEATH.

Esprit Lake Beacon.J
A leading physician Of New York
City, after many years of familiarity
with sickness and death, reaches the
conclusion that the horrors OF dissolu-
ton common to the Imagination are
not realized in the closing hours Of
life. There is abundant proof of this
fact. In every community are in
dividuals who have returned from
wanderings along the very brink Of
eternity and these can testify to its
truth. Persons who come back to life
after suspended animation from drown
ing uniformly say that in the matter
of physical or mental distress 1t was
easier to go out than it was to come
back.
In view OF these experiences it is
strange, indeed that men and wo1nel
and children should continue to shake
at deaths alarms" The goodness Of
God is nowhere more manifest than in
the peace of mind and soothing infiu-
ences afforded the Worn spirit and
broken body when the hour of death
is striking.
Sane men and women cling to life
when there is little for which to live.
lHls instinct as OF dlVlne origin Wisely
ordered and uniformly maintained.
Into nearly all lives comes grief and
pain so profound and so demoralizing
that self destruction would be so COM
mon as to promote race extinction but
for the inherent love of life existing in
all mankind at all ages and in nearly
all conditions.
To always prefer to live is the nat
urel bent of mind; to meet death in
sweet submission when the end is at
hand is triumph extraordinary, and

NOT BETTER, BUT LESS BAD

lDUIIIIIS IUII 1idWKeye.J
There can be no real reason why the
drug store saloon should be treated in
a manner different from the saloon
pure and simple. In fact, the saloon
which pretends to be a saloon and
nothing more. is entitled to more re-
spect than the alleged drug store,
which, as rule, is a saloon and Moth
ing more. And then, as a rule, the COM
mon, everyday saloon has better liq-
uors-the term is wrong, has liquors
less bad, less injurious, less poison
Gus than those which are to be found
in the drugstore saloon.

by his assistants only matter likely
to be OF assistance to Tllaw's lawyers

in" When an expert" selects only
cases which will prove favorable to
his patron. and suppresses reference
to all other cases, he ceases to be an
expert and abuses the confidence of
the court. For this he should be
punished, for his action is as truly
perjury as lying statements made

BIASED EXPERT TESTIMONY.

Dubuque Telegraph- Herald1
The law is fatally defective in per-
hitting the prosecuting attorney, who
seeks a conviction for the credit &C
cruing to him therefrom. and the de-
fendant, who seeks acquittal, to put
on their own expert witnesses. The
latter should be selected in all cases
by the court, SO that their testimony
shall not be Influenced by the source
Of their Tee. There would then be
fewer scandals growing out of murder
trials and other actions at lava, and
expert testimony would regain some
of the prestige which altenists and
physicians hare destroyed.

intellectual honesty 10 lacking In the

little more than half of that price. In
Mason City it is called simply a con-
