get them. if the demand be real, by
changing the house of representatives
in one election and the senate in two.
There have been three such elections
since the people first indicated theii
demand in the election of Roosevelt.
The congress has not been changed
and the reforms have not been made.
What is the studious observer of cur
rent history to think? Were the peo-
pie in earnest in demanding the sound
Roosevelt policies and the downward
revision of the tariff?
Did their votes in 1904 and 1908 have
any conscious purpose and meaning
Have they not intelligence enough 70
know that the results they seem to
seek can be had only through con-
gress imperatively instructed by them
Are the people constant and skillfu'
enough to use the instrument of gov
eminent put into their hands by the
builders of the nations?
Either horn of the dilemma is de-
pressing to sincere friends of popular
government If the people do not know
what they seemed to want in two pres
idential elections, or if they are too ig-
norant or Indifferent to use the plain
way To get it they have neglected in
three elections to congress and the leg
islatures that elect senators, what adj
vantage has our boosted institutions
over rule by a kaiser or house of
lords?
Newspaper writing and public speak
ing and private conversation are full
of idle debate as to what part the presi-
dent will take between the two repub-
lican factions In the name of COM
mon sense, what part can he take but
that of the apparent majority? He is
bound to think that the people know
what they were about when they elect
ed the house of representatives that
betrayed tariff revision, and when they
kept in power through two chances to
change them the congresses that did
all they could, helped by his own frail-
ties of mind and temper, to defeat the
sound Roosevelt policies
A much wiser man might we'll be
puzzled by the contradiction between
the voice of the people in two pres1-
Dental elections and in three congress
sional elections If either be the voice
of God, surely the other is the voice
of the devil. All he can do is to obey
the mandate given to himself, as far
as his lawful power goes, by recon-
mending sound and vetoing bad legis-
lation and leave congress to the people.
He may well even grow weary in
doing SO much if the people go on
neglecting the chance to get what they
say they want by electing congress-
men who will not do it. Here may be
an explanation of his apparent weak
ness in dealing with tariff legislation
at the end. His responsibility is linn
tied by his power. He is not the whole
government He cannot legislate alone.
Roosevelt tried it and everybody knows
what happened.
Ae president, Taft is governor of the
whole nation under rule of law. 1t is
not his nature to do good in contempt
of it. AS party leader he is head of

CONSCIENCE MONEY
The Bee Hive Is Paid For Goods
Taken From Store Years Ago.

Fred Hirsch, of the Bee Hive Store,
received a letter few days ago en-
closing draft for one dollar and
quarter.--conscience money. The let
ter came from a former resident of
Oskaloosa, young man who removed
to the West. The letter stated that
since he had been in his new home
he had been converted, and, mindful
of wrong he had done Mr. Hirsch
and the Bee Hive Store, he sought to
make reparation. The note explained
that while the writer was a resident of
Oskaloosa he took a email gun or
something of the kind from the Bee
Hive Store and did not pay for the
same. Mr.. Hirsch thought the money
thus received would make a fitting
contribution to the fund for the Cher
ry. Illinois, sufferers, and brought the
money to the Herald Office where it
was placed along with other contribu-
tons.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Walter Singleton Thrust Arm Through
Window Pane and is Badly Injured.

Walter. son of D. Singleton, living
at 400 South A street, was severely
injured on Friday of last week by cuts
from glass. The large artery Of the
right arm was severed and deep
wounds left in the arm Just above the
wrist.
Walter had been in Des Moines and
returned to this city Friday afternoon.
On going to mis- home ne found the
house locked, but one of the windows
had been left up small distance. He
Thought that ne might be able to get
into the home in that way, and in try
ing to push tine window open his hand
and arm were thrust through the pane.
The broken glass curt deep gashes in
the arm and the large artery and one
or two small ones were severed. Wal
ter made his way up town to secure
medical attention. He was met by
Officer Harshberger who tied a hand
kerCiief around the arm just above the
wound and assisted the patient. The
severed artery had contracted and the
knife had to be used in order to get
to the ends. Had the patient been
three minutes longer in getting atten-
tion the loss of blood might have
caused death. Walter is now confined
to his home in very weakened condi-
ton. -

ROCK ISLAND WRECK
Engine and Tender Jump the Track
East of City.

Extra No. 400 of the Rock Island,
called the miners train" was wreck
ed at 200 o'clock Saturday afternoon
about two and oneIhah miles east of
Oskaloosa. The fireman and engin-
eer escaped without injury, but the
engine and tender were reduced to
scrap iron and one coach badly wreck
ed. The train had just brought an in
iured miner from Evans and was on
it's way to Blyth after the miners
working there when the wreck occur
red. The train was in charge of Con-
ductor H. C. Hanley of Evans and En-
glneer Geo. Smith and Fireman Henry
Merrill of Evans were in the cab of
the engine. The engine was running
backward, pulling the train, and when
about one mile east OF the steel bridge
over Spring Creek the tender jumped
the track. The train was moving
with enough momentum to push the
tender off twenty-foot embankment,
tearing up the track for hundred and
fifty feet, and when stopped the ten
der was in the ditch and tine engine
was lying on its side across the track
with one coach piled up against it,
and second car derailed. How the
engineer and fireman escaped with
their lives is a mystery, as the cab
was reduced to splinters. The engine
men were thrown from the cab and
down the embankment. The railroad
reported after the wreck that this di-
vision of the line would not be cleared
for traffic until Sunday morning. A
wrecker was sent from Valley June
lion but did not arrive until 6 D. M,
and then the work of clearing the
wreck was Immediately commenced.
The Knoxyille-Washington train, due
here at 4:10 p. m, was held until
about 500 p. m, when it went to the
wreck and changed passengers and
mail with the 'sFirefy," each train re-
turning. ..f.
The crew OF the wrecker, in charge
OF F. e. Allen and Trainmaster V. II.
Hagelberger, worked all night picking
up the engine and placing it on the
track. They worked under disadvan-
tages, as it rained during the night.
making the work slower than other
wise. At four O'Clock Sunday morn
ing they reported the track cleared
for traffic. A large crowd Of people
from the neighborhood and from Oska-
loosa were at the wreck, many OF
them looking on a smash up" for the
first time. The wrecked engine was
taken to Valley Junction to be re-
built.

A PAINFUL ACCIDENT
Mrs. ElmerrVan Vorhies Has Hand
Caught in Laundry Mangle.

Mrs. Elmer Van Vorhies sustained
painful injury at the Abbott Hos
pital, corner Second avenue and Sec
ond street, Monday in an unusual acct
dent. The victim was operating a
"mangle" or ironing machine in the
laundry. She was folding and ironing
bedspread and in some unaccount-
able manner the left hand was caught
in the folds of the cloth and carried
between the rollers, and before the
woman was released had been Sc.
riously burned, in addition to the
pressure to which it was subjected.
The cries of the woman brought help
and she has every possible care, but
the outcome of the injury cannot be
ascertained yet on account of the Sc
we're burns. No bones were broken.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 27.-Major
John F. Lacey of Oskaloosa. Iowa, is
in Washington and has given to the
Washington Post an interview in
which he says:
The Sixth district OF Chicago was
the first battle ground in the insur.
gent fight. They started in there to
make their fight against Taft, Cannon
and Aldrich. but the weakness OF their
cause was demonstrated when Mr..
Monkey got as many votes as the dem
ocratic candidate and republican in
surgent combined. The insurgents
made an attack not only upon Cannon
but also upon the administration and
the tariff law. 1t was the first fight
burt the defeat of the insurgent cause
Is not a marker to what will happen to
them next year. When the insurgents
attempt to take Iowa and run it as
little insurgent ,bailiwick they will not
know the yare in it.
Taft Is making good and the tariff
bill is making good, and the republic

beaten in Chicago the insurgents
would have been so set up they would
Immediately have started an organiza

of my political neighbors in Iowa have
to say about the result in Chicago. II
would be very interesting.
Yes. the tariff is making more thar
good in my part of the country. II
has not lost anybody his job and lant
has gone up as much as $50 and $50
