Republicans support President

Senator Crawford of South Dakota
and Senators Burket and Brown of
Nebraska did their best to obtain fo'
their states that which they believed
for their better interests, yet failing to
get all desired, they did not forget they
were Republicans They concluded it
was better to supper their party, Re
publican measure, a measure urged by
a Republican president, even though it
was not exactly to their liking. In other
words they climbed back into the Re
publican band wagon when they saw it
passing by-loaded South Dakota and
Nebraska Republicans can take their
senators by the hands and cordially sup
port a Republican measure and Repub-
lican president and his administration.
Not SO with Iowa, Iowa senators
went off with the Democrats. If Iowa
Republicans support the Republican
tariff and Republican president, they
will have to do so without their two
senators and four congressman, because
these men have openly and defiantly
arrayed themselves against the measure,
the president and his desire
South Dakota and Nebraska RepublI-
clan are in far better condition to go in
10 the political fight next year than are
the Iowa Republicans for the above
named reasons. But, Notwithstanding
these facts, when Iowa Republicans have
time to think it over, come to their
sober senses, they will support their
president and the tariff measure. Glen

THE WAR ON CANNON

Congressman Fowler's open letter To
Speaker Cannon is being treated with
consideration, although lis evident that
it was inspired by personal pique.
Speaker Cannon beheaded Congress
man Fowler because the latter urged
liberaliZing the house rules and limiting
the arbitrary authority of the speaker,
The speaker gave is out that it would
go hard with the insurgets, and it did
1t has not needed this letter, however
to convince the rank and file of the par
ty that Speaker Cannon has served as
long as is good for the party or country.
The speaker is n picturesque figure in
our public life, but he is neithera states
man nor wise party leader. He is an
eccentric, crochetty old man who never
was very wise nor very great, and who
owes his vogue to his peculiarities rath-
er than to his talents.
There ought to be some man in train
ing in the Republican party who has n
little something about him to remind us
of Henry Clay or Blaine or some of the
other grent speakers of the house. The
party has come to a sorry pass when the
speaker of the house of representatives
is man better known for profanity and
vulgarity than for anything else, The
Register and Leader
1t seems remarkable what an eccen-
trio, crochetty old man can accomplish.
By the way, what's the matter with

NAUSEA COMES HIGH
Member of Medicine Show Company
Paid So and Costs

One of the members of the w. III. Ball
Medicine show company had an attack
of nausea while in his room at Mrs.
Leonards boarding house last week and
soiled the carpet on the floor, so it is al
legged On Sunday, when settling up
preparatory to leaving town, he was
asked to pay for the trouble his attack
had put the landlady to, which he re-
fused to do, considering the price too
high. This nettled Mrs. Leonard and
she hunted up County Attorney Mantz
who after listening to her tale of woe
and imposition drew up an information
against the Snowman charging him with
having been drunk and disorderly at the
time the attack of nausea came upon
him The sheriff was then notified and
the culprit was placed under arrest,
after which Mayor Spencer was called
up on the phone and he agreed to try
the case to accommodate the manager
of the company, even though it was the
Sabbath, and came from his home to do
so at once.
| A plea of not guilty was entered by
the Snowman to the charge filed against
him, but the prosecutions witnesses
not being present the case could not be
proceeded with, the mayor refusing to
issue subpenas for the presence of wit
nesses on Sunday. The prisoner, who
continued in his refusal to settle with
Mrs Leonard at the rate of 50 per at
tack, was remanded to Jail to await the
coming of Monday for the trial to be
proceeded with.
The big medicine man couldn't stand
for this action, as he was anxious to get
the prisoner and the rest of his company
out of town on the evening train, so he
sought to have the case settled without
delay, which he succeeded in doing by
first paying Mrs. Leonard her price and
then getting County Attorney Mantz to
withdraw the information. When this
was done the sheriff was ordered tot turn
the prisoner loose, which he did without
delay and the company departed for
new fields of labor after paying the
court costs.

AN OPINION OF THE PRIMARY

When the committee of legislators
from New York We're out west recently
investigating the working of the direct
primary law for nomination of candi-
dates the Hon Edward ID. Shurtleff,
speaker of the House in Illinois, made
the following statement. Read it and
see what you think of it:
1t is a law for the man with the loud
voice, or the man with the fat purse, or
the officeholder who lavishly distributes
patronage for political ends
The candidate who, by coercion, by
newspaper caiolery, by use of money,
by use of patronage, can control plur-
atty of the party vote becomes the party
And he is bound by no pledges and need
be loyal to no principles.
"A corrupt otficeholder has three
chances of denomination and reelection
under this law where he has one under
the convention system. Any man in of
flee, however corrupt, has a following:
bound to him by favors and patronage,
with which it is easier to swing plu
rality of the popular vote than major
ity of delegate convention.
Under this law the mass of the voters
are unable to make an intelligent choice
in most instances, because outside of the
local candidates and the head of the state
ticket they do not and cannot know the
men for whom they are voting.
1t is rich man lava demagogue's
lava corrupt officeholder's law law
that builds up political cZars. "

TIME TO SLOW UP

The Atlantic Telegraph says that the
press of the entire country is pleading
with the large and constantly increasing
automobile class to "slow up and quit
killing human beings. The number of
people killed and injured daily in the
United States is really becoming alarm
ing and if kept up will finally result in
the enactment of the most drastic laws
not only by the states but 10y the nation,
1t is most remarkable the large number
of auto drivers who have business so
urgent as to cause them to drive their
machines furiously around corners and
blind alleys in cities
The death rate is becoming so fearful
as to cause the Des Moines, Chicago,
and the papers of all the cities to call a
halt and they are now demanding that
the cries of the public be needed. Allan
tic is noted over the state as an automo-
mobile city and we trust that no fatal
ties may ever come to this people and this
can only be accomplished by constant
vigilance and carefulness Most of our
drivers are carefcl and the careful ones
should see to it that the reckless ones
"slow up 1t is possible to run an auto
mobile as safely to foot people as to drive

done

autos to think intelligently about this
killing business and see to it that no
such event occurs i'm Atlantic. 1t iseasy

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 1S.
The navy portfolio in President
Taft's cabinet is to be in charge of
Geo. Won Lengerke Meyer of Massa-
chusetts. Like Mr.. Wilson, Meyer
is survival of the Roosevelt cab
met. Also like Wilson it was Taft.s
original intention to toss him into
the discard. The reason Meyer re-
mains, however is different from
that which applies to the case of
Wilson. Mr.. Lodge is responsible
for the retention of Meyer. The pc.
litical prestige of Lodge of Massa-
chusetts fade the appointment of
Meyer a political necessity. Lodge

gerke Meyer. And if he tried to, his
political gore would be upon his

and followed the lines of least re.
sistance. But having already dis.
posed of the office of postmaster
general he promised to make Meyer

in Massachusetts he commands the

Co., the National Bank of Com
merce, the United Electric Security
Co., the Walter Baker Co., Ames

bort June "a, 1858. After gradual
ing from Harvard he began his ca
reer of being trustee. He took the
trusteeship of several libraries and
orphan asylums and then announced
himself as a candidate for alder
man.
He served in the Massachusetts
legislature, was chairman of the
managers of the Paris exposition
board, and contributed the expenses
necessary for the republican ma
tional campaign committee. He be.
came chairman of the republican
campaign committee. In 1905 he
was made ambassador to Italy, and
after year or so was sent to Rus
STA. During the negotiations insti-
tuted by President Roosevelt to
bring about peace between Japan
and Russia, Ambassador Meyer
crowned his diplomatic career by
breaking through the line of grand
dukes and actually getting the ear
of the car on the latter's birthday.
This was in response to a hurry
up wire from T. R. The result
was the Portsmouth conference and
the peace of Portsmouth. Meyer has
done yeoman service for the postal

has prudently gated at the behest
of the banking trust.

Since its discovery one year ago
the new drug, poslam. has success
fully cured thousands of chronic
cases of eczema and other distress
ing skin Affections. Heretofore
poslam has been dispensed solely
for the benefit of eczema patients
in large jars sufficient for a
months treatment. This was found
to be an Inconvenience to many
thousands who use it for minor
skin troubles, such as pimples,
blackheads, herpes, acne, scaly
scalp, complexion blemishes. itch.
ing feet, piles, etc. which require
but a small quantity to cure. To
overcome this. and In response to
urgent appeals. the dispensers OF
poslam have been obliged to adopt,
in addition to the regular two-dol-
lar packages, a special fifty-cent
size, which in future may be found
on sale at Murgittroyd's and Rit-
ter's drug stores, and other lead
ing drug stores in Spokane, or

In all eczema cases poslam stops

proceeds to heal Immediately;
chronic cases being cured in two
weeks. In less serious skin trou
