Earfy Frost Expected,

Bloomfield Republican: From the
katydid in the woodland thickets
comes the warning to look out for an
early frost. The insect is singing his
monotonous lay a bit early this year
and the agriculturists in this locality
are little bit concerned. OF course,
many laugh at the katydid story, but
still the farmers would just as soon
the darned thing wouldn't sing quite
SO early.
According to the old saying the ka
tydid sings just six weeks previous
to the coming Of heavy frost and
frost in six weeks would be most
damaging.
This year the corn is quite late be
cause of the late spring and poor
seed. Many of the fields were re
planted several times and the dry
spell also added to the delay in ma
turing.
I Much sunlight and good heavy rair
will hurry up the crop and cause the
ears that have commenced to shoot
to develop sufficiently to withstand 6
frost

AUTOMOBILES AND LITERATURE.

The librarian at Bloomington, Ill,
complains that with the increase of
automobiles and of the moving-picture
shows the library is almost deserted.
Hundreds who formerly remained at
home to read a book now spend their
evenings in the nickel shows and the
wealthy class instead Of studying New
Thought and digging into the encyclo-
pedia for the material for essays to
be read before women's clubs, are
now racing around the country in au-
tomobiles, taking JOY rides and run
ming over unhappy pedestrians who
happen to get in the road.
Thus the pleasures Of the intellect
are side-tracked for the qualification
of the senses, and the perusal of books
is now relegated to the past All
that the average soul is now able to
do is to hastily scan the columns of
the daily papers for the details of the
last prize fight or the reigning divorce
scandal which holds the attention Of
the prurient for the moment.

being a system Of enforcing things

In ruling over the recent convention,
Senator Dolliver as chairman invoked
the so-cailed Cannon doctrine and re.

were the tactics Of the bosses. Dol.

tives in Washington when it turns

Where Docs Roosevelt stand?


La Crosse LEADER Press: President
Taft has finally called his distin-
guished predecessor and one time pa
iron, Theodore Roosevelt. He wants
to know where the colonel is at. The
Presidents curiosity Is pardonable
as his interest is indisputable. Roose-
welt made him President, and now he
would like to know whether Roose-
welt is going to stand with him and
help him bear the burdens of the Of
fee he thrust upon him, or whether
he intends to let him struggle with
presidential cares unaided or even
join the circle Of the opposition.
Latest advfces from Oyster Bay are
that Roosevelt has failed to give a
definite answer to the emissary OF
Taft. Yesterday he said he might
have something to give out after the
conference. but he has not done so
as yet.
The situation is admittedly an en-
barrassing one for the lion hunter.

friends are largely insurgents, but he

organization and he owes something

Des Moines Politicians VS.. Packers.
Cedar Rapids Republican: II Des
Moines had given the Agars as much
encouragement as it has given its
politicians, that city would not have
the humiliation of e bankrupted pack
ing house. For ten or twelve years
Des Moines has given the major part
Of it's strength to political propaganda
lists. It's business men have contrib
uted many thousands of dollars to
promoting political schemes and adj
vancing the fortunes of the polite
ians. One Of the rich men of that
city is said to have $4,000 invested
in politicians, but it is not recorded
that amount in the promotion OF a
business institution like the packing
house. Another politician who has
finally achieved 2 nomination for con-
gress is said to have spent $4,000 In
four campaigns to get the nomina-
tion
And the worst phase Of it is that the
politicians who have been developed
have been preaching the doctrine
that most men engaged in business,
the employers of labor, have been
robbers of some degree or other and
in a conspiracy against the welfare of
their fellow men, The men who have
borne the burdens of business have
been treated as the enemies of the
people. while the politicians who have
d. IN fa1ty oyd
to appeal to the prejudices OF the un-
thinking have been hailed as the
friends and saviours of the people
The men who have figured on the
weekly payrolls have been regarded
with suspicion. while the men who
have drawn the political salaries,
whether business was good or not,
have had the unbounded confidence
of the people. Only, last spring the
politicians attacked the rate differen-
tials under which packing houses can
exist at all in Iowa.
We need to learn in Iowa that the
man who builds factory is greater
than the man who holds an Office. Al
remark, credited to Former Governor
Larrabee is apropos here. A few
years ago he IS said to have remarked
to Mr.. Douglas, or about Mr.. Douglas
that man who had built up such an
institution had done more for Iowa
| than all the politicians in it.
A truer remark was never. made.

support of the Agars as 1t has been
in the support Of its politicians, that

Las+ Of the nIowa Band. !.

Cedar Falls Record: Iowa has lost
man Of courage and renown in the
death Of DR.. Salter at Burlington. In
1S43 he was member of band of
young men who left Andover Semi
nary in New England and came west
to preach the gospel in the sparsely
settled wilderness west of the Missis-
sippi There were eleven of these
enthusiastic young men and the
work they did and the success they
achieved is a part OF the history of
the commonwealth. DR.. Salter began
his ministry in Jackson county,
preaching in log cabins and under the
spreading branches of the great for
ests that skirted the Father of
Waters" In 1876 he received call
to the newly organized Congregation
al church at what was then the village
OF Burlington. That was sixty-four
years ago and he served that one
church until his death. Such rec.
ord in the ministry is without paral-
lei in the history Of the country.
Out of the ministrations of the
Iowa Band,o as these men after.
wards became known in this state
grew Congregationalism in Iowa. BY
virtue of their labors and their sac
rifices new hope and new courage
came to the pioneer settlers of this
great undeveloped country and the
foundations of civil and religious
liberty west of the Mississippi were
laid by these strong hearted young
men who builded even better than
they had ever dreamed. AS re
suit of their labors Iowa College al

gent element. He bullied both with
equal success.
And now both sides demand that he
declare himself. Taft wants to know
whether Roosevelt is for him or
against him, and Pinchot is Emporium
ing him almost daily in behalf OF
hard pressed insurgent candidates IN
the west. II he remains neutral much
longer he is apt to lose standing
with both, and indeed there are al
ready signs of dissatisfaction noted
Roosevelt remains by far the most
influential American. His voice
might turn the fall elections either
for or against the administration.
Still he hesitates to say the word ana
he may continue to hesitate until ar
ter all the nominations have been
made and then make general APP
peal for the Republican ticket But
such a course, which would betray
the timidity not usually associated
with Roosevelt, would be hard blow
to his prestige.

1.-THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

In the opening speech of his cam
paign for election to congress from
the Eighteenth Illinois district. which
ne has represented for SO many years,
Uncle Joe" Cannon paid his respects
to "the good old times we hear so
much about. Among other things he
recalled that in the old days dressed
hogs sold at s150 a hundred and
quinine was 81 an ounce. Now bet
ter quinine can be had for twenty
five cents an ounce Sugar sold at
nearly a dollar pound. Now you
can buy it for 5A cents pound, and
yet there are people who will get up
and shout that on account of the
tariff you lose six cents every time
you buy a pound of sugar" Mr. Can
mons father was country doctor
and the speaker said he got s1.50 for
driving six miles into the country and
back. And yet he continued. "you
will hear persons who howl for the
good old days. | don't want the good
old DAYS l thank God that my chill
dren and my children's children have
better lot than that Of these old
pioneers"
Mr.. Cannon represents a district
where land sells from s1S5 to $3.50 an
acre; where Democrats are as scarce
as hens teeth, and where insurgency
is an unknown quantity. Speaking te
an audience of representative citizens
he traced the development of the mid
die west from wilderness to great
agricultural area and took a few
proper filings at the critics of the
tariff. Among other utterances were
the following:
I'm Illinois there are Is 900 mile.

there are 100000 miles of railroad. Ii

DEMOCRATS QUOTE INSURGENTS
Speeches by Dolliver and cummins
Big Feature Of Campaign
Book,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The man
ayers of the Democratic campaign
for the capture of the next congress
are going to use insurgent Republic
can speeches with which to indict the
Republican party. This became def
nitely known when the congressional
committee made public the Demo
cratic Campaign Book for 1910.
While it is true that there are ex-
tracts from Democratic speeches
culled from the congressional record,
the most striking feature Of the new
book is the section devoted to utter
ances of the insurgent leaders. Their
sentiments against the tariff, the rail-
road bill and the extravaganza in gov
ernmental expenditures are more en-
phatic than are those Of the Demo-
Gratis themselves.
The famous insurgent defense
made by Senator Dolliver of Iowa in
the senate is given the leading place
In the campaign book. This is looked
upon by the Democratic leaders as
being excellent Democratic doctrine
and they say that they themselves
could not have expressed their disap
prevail of the Republican administers
ton In more appropriate terms.
Senator Cummins was the next in.
surgent to be honored with a place
in the campaign book. Many sections
OF his speech on the railroad bill are
quoted to show the eager voter that
the Republican party is trying to
make ineffective the Sherman anti
trust law, and further, that the Demo
Gratis are not the only people who
think 80.
After Senator Cummins, Senator
LaFollette is complimented. His court
OF commerce speech was found by the
Democrats to contain valuable cam
paign material and several thousand
words of this have been given a place

tive Hamilton Fish of New York one
