TAFT GETS A CLASSICAL JOLT.
We predicted several weeks ago
that the Iowa prosressives would put
things in their platform which
would make the Whole country sit
up and take notice. Our prediction
he's been more than verified. Their
platform Is replete with pungent
paragraphs which will jar the old
republican machine until its wheels
wabble. Take for a sample the fol-
lowing chastisement of President
Taft for treating Iowa, in the dis
tribution Of federal patronage. the
same as a state represented in con-
gress by democrats:

earnestly hope that we may never be
compelled to enter upon another gen.

The demand for an independent non

republicans.
We must insist upon law or rule
of congress that will allow one
schedule to be amended or revised
without going over the whole range
of the tariff.
There came from the hands of the
attorney general, a bill, on interstate
commerce, which, II it had passed, as
Aldrich SO emphatically declared It'll
should pass, would have consigned the
republican party to eternal disgrace
and defeat.
All that was good in the bill was
carefully preserved, and all that was
bad was either wholly rejected or ma,

IOWA REPUBLICANS CONVERTS
TO BRYANIsM.

Bryan may never be elected presi-
dent Of the United States. but no
historian can write the history of
this generation without giving him
credit for the accomplishment of
much that was beneficial to the gem
eral public. And among his most not
able achievements should be listed
the conversion Of the republicans Of
Iowa. The larger part Of the repub-
lican platform adopted at Des Moines
last week is squarely in line with
Bryan's speeches of ten years ago.
And especially is this so in relation
to the republican platform planks on
antitrust laws, railroad legislation

the election Of United States sena
tors by direct vote Of the people.

Somebody knocked at the door. Dull.
Gle opened it. The landlady stood
there with spurious smile. smiling
for cooking by stolen gas.
"A gentleman's downstairs to see
you," she said Name is MIR. Wig
gins"
By such epithet was Piggy known
to unfortunate ones who had to take
him seriously.
Dulcie turned to the dresser to get
her handkerchief. and then she stop
ped still and bit hen underlip hard.
While looking in her mirror she had
seen fairyland and herself princess
just awakening from a long slumber.
She had forgotten one that was watch
ing her with sad. beautiful. stern eyes
the only one there was to approve or
condemn what she did.
Straight and slender and tall. with
look of sorrowful reproach on his
handsome. melancholy face. General
Kitchener fixed his wonderful eyes on
her out of his gilt photograph frame
on the dresser.
Dulcie turned like an automatic doll
to the landlady.
"Tell him can't co." she said duly.
Tell him I'm sick or something. Tell
him I'm not going out"
After the door was closed and locked
Dulcie fell upon her bed. crushing her
black tip, and cried for ten minutes.
General Kitchener was her only friend.
He was Dulcie's ideal of gallant
knight. He looked as If he might have
a secret sorrow, and his wonderful
mustache was dream, and she was
little afraid of that stern yet tender
look in his eyes She used to have
little fancies that he would call mt the
house some time and ask for her with
his sword clanking against his high
boots
Once when boy was rafting piece
of chain against a lamppost she had
opened the window and looked out.
But there was no USE She knew that
General Kitchener was away over in
Japan leading his army against the
savage Turks and he would never
step out of his gilt frame for her.
Yet one look from him had van
quished Piggy that night-yes. for that
night.
When her cry was over Dulcie got
up and took Off her best dress and
put on her old blue kimono. She want
ed 10 dinner. She sang two verses OF
| Sammy" Then she became intense
| ~ interested In a little red speck on
the side of her nose. And after that
was attended to she drew up chair
to the rickety table and told her for.
tune with an old deck of cards.
."rhc horrid, impMlcnt thing!" she
said aloud. And ! never gave him a
word or look to make him think
it!'
| Al o O'clock Dulcie took tin box
of crackers and little pot OF rasp.
| berry jam out of her trunk and had a
| feast
She offered General Kitchener some
jam on Il cracker, but he looked at hel
only as the sphinx would have looked
at Il butter1y-if there are butterflies

said Dulcic. And don't put on 50
many airs and scold so with your
eyes. wonder If you'd be so superior
and snippy If yon had to live on Sc
a week.
1t was not good sign for Dulcie
to be rude to General Kitchener. And
then she turned Benvcnuto Cellini face
downward with a severe gesture. But
that was not inexcusable, for she bad
always thought he was Henry VIII.
and she did not approve Of him.
