TAFT AND THE WEST.

The time for words is past. The mid
die west will measure William Howard
Taft by deeds, not by words. Words
are feeble things and easily misunder-
stood Many of US in the past cam
paign thought We understood words
which the president uttered then. We
have since learned that We did not. In
the light of subsequent events there
have been but two opportunities open
to us. one 10 hold the president in
sincere, the other TO hold our under
standing of what he said as incorrect.
Because of earnest admiration of the
man, most of us have charged the diff
ference between what was expected
and what happened, not TO any insin-
certify on the part of the president, but
to our own misunderstan believ-
ing that the wish being father to
thought. We gave his words a signi-
ticance they did no. hold
SO for the most of US, We believe
words viii do no longer; we might mis-
understand again.
The west admires Mr. Taft immense
ly. 1t hopes that he is with it in its
fight. Whether or no, it recognizes him
dS d NANNY upIiSut loHtSl US uFe, as
credit TO the land of his birth. as a
man who if ne does nothing else in the
future, has already written his name
large on the pages of history and in thu
annals Of human progress.
But from his deeds. not his words
the most Of US in this 'insurgent
section will judge whether or not he
stands by those principles and for those
causes to which his predecessor gave
official standing and which now live
with undiminished vigor in the hearts
and minds of the masses of the land.

Protone is a powerful inducer of
nutrition, increases cell growth, makes
perfect the assimilation OF food, in
creases the number of blood corpuscles,
and as a necessary result builds up
muscles and solid, healthy flesh, and
rounds out the figure.
For women who can never appear
stylish in anything they wear because
of their thinness. this remarkable
treatment may prove a revelation. 1t is
a beauty maker as well as form
builder and nerve strengthener.
It viii cost you nothing to prove the
remarkable effects Of this treatment

A STATE D,sGRAcsG.

Righteous Indignation has been
aroused thruout the country over the
brutal outrage of a mob upon two i'm
moral women al Alexandria, Mo.
These women had been driven across
the border from keokuk. They were
bad, fallen 10 the depths, doubtless and
any community was justified in getting
rid of them by legal methods. But at
Alexandra, a town that has not NTH
erto been extensively advertised as
having higher standard Of morality
and virtue than others. mob of over
hundred men and boys stripped these
females. mother and daughter, applied
a coat Of tar and feathers, then set
Them afloat on the Mississippi river in
q leaky boat without oars or other
propelling power.
It would be interesting to know how
many members of that mob would
stand the test applied by the Savior
10 the scarlet woman of old. Perhaps
not half dozen Of them were with
out sin" possibly not one. But even
if every man and every boy who par
ticipated in the infamous transaction
were as pure as the angels. that very
fact should condemn them, for good
people DO NOT resort 10 mob law, nor
treat women worse than brutes.
Many shameful deeds have been
committed in Missouri, but as a rule
they have not been the acts of COM
nunity enmasse. Men whose occupa-
ton is crime are expected TO defy and
break the law, but there is neither ex-
cuse nor palliation for this deed, in
which the citizenship of supposedly
respectable town was involved. 1t is
a blot upon society and the name of the
state that neither time nor repentance
can efface.

SHOOTING up IN IOWA.

Had reports of the affair not been
fully verified it would be hard to be-
lieve the story from Mineola, Iowa,
Tuesday, OF two bandits shooting up
the town and then roobing a bank in
midday.
Such incidents were quite common
in the wild and woody" west many
years ago, and occur al intervals yet
But 10 happen here in Iowa, staid, Sc
cure. thickly populated and supposedly
safeguarded from such lawlessness,
seems preposterous People pay money
TO sit and see such things mimicked
on the stage, never dreaming that the
real stuff is liable to be enacted at
their Very doors any bright and pleas
ant afternoon.
The Mineola affair possessed all
the elements of a regular western
plains or mountain gorge hold-up ex-
cept that the TWO star actors were well
dressed and gentlemanly appearing.
They were comparatively young men
but they went at it like veterans in
the business. And their getaway was
as easy as their haul.
What is going to be the effect upon
Iowa people Of this bold raid of two
robbers in a quiet, unsuspecting Iowa
village? WHAT means Of protection can
he devised or adopted? Is any town
safe from such marauders unless for
titled both night and day? Must Iowa
people revive the almost lost art of
handling shooting irons with accu-
racy and effect? Must we annul the law
concerning the carrying Of concealed
weapons and establish schools of in
struc-ion in gun play, with moving
pictures or mechanically operated ef-
agies Of bank robbers and the like as

quent experiences that man has less
sense in regard to matrimony at Sc
than at %. The people of Iowa will
universally say that any man of IS
ought to have better sense than to
marry. But. nevertheless. the state
will feel sorry for the old man in his
troubles. There is faint suspicion
that if Father Coffin had not owned
Willow Edge Farm and much other
valuable real estate, no woman of so
would have married him. But there
are two conditions in life when a man
of good sense hasn't any sense. One
condition is when he is running Tor
office and the other is when he is in
love, or thinks he is.

ton, ordering the removal OF Mayor
A. M. Henderson, of Marengo, for
drunkenness. The decision is the first
legal case based on the Cosson law,
passed by the recent legislature pro-
viding for the removal of officials who
become intoxicated while on duty.
The case is most interesting one,
and will be the basis Of much good in
Iowa. There is no more reason why a
city or county should tolerate drunk
enness in its officials than the rail-
roads and large business corporations
should allow intemperance among their
employees. The day has arrived when
sobriety in positions of trust, both in
civic and industrial affairs is a chief
requirement.

tation is continuous throughout all the
twelve months of the year; the tenn
perature ranges from 65 to 90 degrees

of absorption, the rainfall of from 80
