CONGRESSMAN GOOD.
ICedar Rapids Republican. !


He was. on the contrary very con-
sistent. While the bill was in the pro-
gress Of the making he used his in
fuence to have certain rates lowered.
In other words, worked to make as
good bill, from his viewpoint, as pos
sible. He tried to represent the wishes
OF the people of Iowa and voted for
such rates as he thought would suit the
conditions in Iowa. He made good
fight and did what he could He may
not have gotten every idea he had into
the tariff bill and no man can expect
that.
Having done what he could to shape
the bill according to his views and
the views of his constituents, he sup
ported the bill which he believed, as
President Taft has put it, was the best
bill possible under the conflicting con-
ditions growing out of the varied inter-
ests of the United States. He was in
none of these things inconsistent.
After the house had assured the tar
iff bill, Mr.. Good returned to Iowa. He
made the statement at that time that
the bill was fairly good measure and
that it was a great deal better than it
"as peiils reported IN many OF the
newspapers, thru special correspond
ents in Washington. Both what Mr..
Good said and what he did in the way
Of votes was consistent.
On the prior fight in the house, over
rules and the speakership, Mr.. Good
fought for certain notifications in the
rules. That was his right. After he
had made that fight he abided by the
decision Of the republican caucus and
voted for Mr.. Cannon for speaker. In
short, Mr. Good, has turnout been in
the attitude of consistent republican.
representing the sentiment of his dis
trict in that respect. Whatever reasons
our senators may have had for insur-
gency, none of those reasons pertained
to the duties of Congressman Good.

OPEN SEASON ON DRUNKEN MAYORS.

A very important and interesting
trial is in progress at Marengo where
Mayor A. NJ. Henderson is on trial for
removal under a charge of intoxication
while in office. The new law grouped
with others under in a general way as
the Cosson laws provides for the re-
moval OF mayors. among other officers
when guilty of specified offences, one
of which is drunkenness. This is the
first test of the law and of course will
go to the supreme court for final settle
ment
1t appears to be precisely the kind
of test needed to settle the constitu-
tionality of the law. 1t is reported that
the evidence as to intoxcation is suf-
fcient to establish the fact and that the
defendant will plead that the people
who elected him knew his habits and
failings when they elected him and that
the law is unconstitutional anyway.
Under these circumstances the settle
ment should be complete and decisive.
Putting aside the case of the mayor
Of Marengo as belonging to the court
which is trying him, the law is a good
stand. There is no excuse for the
mayor who brings disgrace upon his
city by drunkenness and the disorder
1y and disgraceful conduct which al
most invariably accompanies intoxica-
ton. Many a decent citizen has been
forced to blush when confronted by The
who should be representative of his
city. 1t is hard, when in the midst of
an Grafton on the beauties and oppor-
tunities and cleanliness of ones home
city to have some jealous and envious
citizen of a rival town cast the drunk
enness and disrepute of the first official
of the city in ones face. Omaha and
Atlanta have read of their disgrace in
the newspapers. But no drunkard or
immoral mayor can or does actually
represent the citizenship of any city in
loWd VI any Quiet STAFF. iowa, SSpSC-
tally, is decent.
Whatever may be the outcome of the
case now in hearing at Marengo the
removal law has no doubt had its Ell
fectiveness as a deterrent up to date.
1t has kept men who desired to get
drunk sober no doubt, thru fear of con-
sequences. And if it has done so much
before it is adjudged constitutionally-
sound it ought to work a wide and
needed reform after it has been, as Il
doubtless will be, made the criterion Of
what mayor or any public officer NAV
not do and continue in oqffice At any
rate until the law has been killed or
repealed the season is open on drunken
mayors.

Strawpile

vent the proper functioning of her
organs. When less fat, the very same
eve will often conceive very readily.
Even tho she does conceive it is
a poor, siclkly sort of lamb that the
over-fat eve produces. 1t can not be
otherwise for she is bound to be more
or less sluggish, and her system is not
in condition for the proper nourishing
of the foetus.
/ No doubt the fat, round ewes to
which farmers have for years seen the
blue ribbons awarded in the show
ring, have had their influence in
making them think that that is the
way their ewes should look; but this
is simply an unfortunate condition that
has existed and still does exist in the
show ring, and that has resulted in the
raising of altogether false standards
of the proper feshing for breeding
stock. Even show men themselves
showing are not the best breeders;
but show ring precedent has taught
that they must have their ewes fat If
they hope ITO get in on the winnings.
BY no means do we decry the put
ing OF the ewes into good condition
but we do maintain that good condi-
ton does not signify that they should
be fat Good condition means that
they shall have a reasonable amount
of flesh on their bones, that their
vitality shall be strong, that their
every organ shall be functioning WE'LL
and particularly that their digestive
system shall be in good order. This
is the sort Of condition that makes a
eve show up well in the breeding pen,
and at weaving time in the spring
To get eve into such condition
means that she must be free Of
worms or other parasites that annoy
her; that she have shade in the pas
ture where she can get away from
flies and keep comfortable; that she
have plenty of good clean water to
drink; and lastly that she have all the
crisp, juicy pasture she wants from
now until snow flies. "A little grain
added to the ration may be needed to
get her into the right degree of flesh
later in the fall but by no means
should she be Stuffed" and fatted.
Stuff and fat the ewes that you have
singled out as the poor breeders and
poor mothers all you want, but sep
arate them from the rest to do it. Let
nothing induce you to fatten up the
ewes that have done their duty by
you in the way Of lambs and wool.

THE MAIN THINGS THE CROP,

If there has been any halting of busi-
ness and any tendency to await legis
lation it is over and done with. In
the west and in Iowa especially there
has been scant observance paid to what
the tariff legislators might bring forth
that is business, building and enter
prise have accorded scant notice to
FariH making or indeed anything else
Iowa got busy early in the year. We
were breathing ground for new build
ings and ordering material in January.
Tariff had practically no effect on the
trend of Iowa enterprise or the speed
OF its pace. If we have been kept back
tt has been because the labor to be
done was far in excess of the hands
to do it, 1t is true now that enter
prises languish in Iowa because of the
lack of men to earn advanced wages
and take up premium on the advance
Out here in Iowa it's the crops. The
crops the thing. We haven't doubted
the fertility of the state. The crops
were forecasted a year ago. We knew
that we should be prosperous because
we know we should have crops. And
we've got 'em.
If there has been quietude and hold
ing off the thing is over. Everybody
is jumping in. The National Bankers
Association has recently issued a pros
perity forecast based on figures re-
ceived from 1000 business men in all
parts of the country. 1t doesn't talk
tariff. 1t predicts crops. Record crops.
Crops that will set wheels moving on
freight cars and in factories and start

IS IOWA REPUBLICAN?
fist. Paul Pioneer Press.

Iowa as republican state has
reached the forks of the road. Repub-
licans here must follow Taft and say
with the national organization of the
party. or they must set up an indie
pendency and take chances in revolu-
tion. They might as well follow a dem
ocratic standard as to follow the stand
ard Cummins has flung to the prairie
wind.
The drift of the party In this state
in recent years has been toward the
rough sea of the opposition, and un-
less the course is changed complaint
Of it will not be heard from Mr.. Bryan
or Governor johnson. The leadership
has been bad just as in Minnesota the
leadership has been destructive
to party order and party as
cendancy. 1t does not matter what
the leadership may call itself, with
what high sounding phrases it may
proclaim integrity and devotion to high
ideals The effect is the same for back
of language there is absence of party
loyalty and Of fidelity to the general
welfare.-Sioux City Journal.
After INDUCING in further historical
Renaissance. Editor Perkins declares
that the time has come when the Iowa
republicans must follow the president
and the national party leaders or be-
come a part Of the opposition to their
party and their president. This leads
him up to the assertion that "the Payne
bill Is party measure" and entitled
therefore to party support
In spite Of the evident concern OF the
Journal, we have no doubt that Iowa is
still republican. The mistake of the
Journal is in its apparent adherence
to the old theory that the party can do
nc wrong The Journal fails to appre-
ciate the fact that in these days the
party whip has lost its potency and
that principle is not easily coerced by
party discipline. The day has been
| passed when any party can be whipped
into support of yellow dog" candidates
or led to the support of issues that
spell hurt to a whole people just be-
cause those issues are framed and
championed by the nominal leaders
of party organization The time has
passed when those self constituted
leaders can read out Of the party men
who do not agree with them. Colonel
Bryan has tried to read good many
men out Of the democratic party and
has Jared no better than Senator AL
drich, who has essayed similar stunt
in the republican camp.
We have no hesitancy in assuring
Editor Perkins that in our opinion Iowa
is republican, just as Minnesota is
repub lican, but it is the republican,
ism Of Iowa and Minnesota, not the re-
publicanism Of Rhode Island and Dam
vile, Illinois.

WHAT IS wlNE7

What is wine? 1t it sugar and wa
ter, colored with a little grape Juice
or it it grape juice itself?
These are days of perplexing ques-
tons, questions which arise out of the
effort to install honesty where hereto
fore lacking in business. What is
whisky! What is olive oil? What is
butter? What is sausage? What is
bleached flour? What is breakfast
food? And now, What is wine?
In the opinion of officials of the
department of agriculture, as protract-
ed and as bitter fight is to come
over the exact definition of the lighter
beverage as was waged over the true
meaning of the term whisky.
DR.. Wiley, the government pure food
expert, has announced that hereafter
wine must be made of grapes, pure and
simple. This will be heavy blow to
many wine growers" of the country
who in the hurry of producing a cheap
beverage at a low profit, have estap-
lished the system of greatly increasing
the juice prepared for fermentation by
adding bodily to the grape extract
large quantities Of sugar and water. DR..
Wiley's opinion. if upheld, will also
strike at the practice of chemically
stopping fermentation after the first
stage has been passed, by means of
which process wine has been put on
the market year earlier than could
have been done if natural fermentat ton
had been allowed
DR.. Wiley's action is, of course, APP
proved by honesty. 1t is upheld by the
old style wine makers who have adj
hered to the practive of using unadul-
terated grape juice. and by the vine
growers who believe that the decision
will create a large demand for their
grapes
How many more rami6cations fraud,
as practiced on the people, may be
found to have, can't be said. 1t is
only certain that an excellent work is
going forward in the hands of those
charged with the enforcement of la Tvs
framed for the protection of a confid-
ing public and for the undoing of
in manufacture and bust
ness
