AN ANALYSIS OF CARROLL.
Esprit Lake Beacon

While it is the privilege OF the gov
ernor TO question our conduct in try
ing to be consistent with our political
convictions, we do not doubt his own
motives along the same line. Now as
ever he is true 10 the Carroll tempera-
ment and the Carroll sense OF duty.
AS well might one expect to see a
Church Of England bishop beating the
bass drum in a Salvation army synod
as to expect this worthy executive to
sympathize with proceedings on the
firing lire of political reform. There
are .anllpa tiers and stand patters.
Some are standpatters because OF a
determination to prostitute the public
service to private ends, some that they
may stand in with strong influences
and be taken care of in political deals,
some because, while they would be
patriotic. they believe 1t is hopeless to
kick against the goads OF organized
greed. some because they feel the
world is moving along AZ well - could
be expected and are not moved BY ap-
peals OF popular movements.
To the latter class belongs our gov
ernof. He is an honest man. In pub
lie life he has been free from Ill faint.

AS TO HoUNDING TAFT.
rCedar Rapids Gazettel.

The fellow who says, Taft is being
bounded is nothing else than an IN
aduhera.ed liar. The president is not
being bounded. Some Of his policies
are being strenuously opposed: his
political shortcomings have found en-
phatic opposition-but bounding? Not
a Bit of It.
Personally, every one holds the presi-
dent in the highest esteem. There is
probably less personal criticism Of Taft
than there has been Of any person who
ever occupied the presidential chair.
The criticisms largely if not alto
gether pertain 10 methods and policies.
And as 10 these matters. the president
is TO blame for the criticism. Before
his inauguration, Mr.. Taft was as Sc
we're critic Of standpatism as there
is in the progressive wing Of the repub-
lcan party today. After he became
president he about faced" The pro-
gressives declined TO "about face" with
him And they would be traitors 10
their beliefs if they did not object 10
the program he has been pursuing.
But they are not bounding him. They
are simply telling the truth.

1t is the same old lineup. In look

leaders of both factions in the repub-
lean party. We find the alignment prac-
tically the same as 1t was ten years
ago. The Laceys, Hepburns, Youngs,

Towners, Trewins, Paimers, and George
d. Perkins, lined up with the railroads
shouting death 10 Cummins. Any
morning when the weather is at all
propitious you can hear this crowd
shouting: "Cummins is a democrat" 50
Jealous are those defenders or the cor

good in Cummins. Men who read the

bad man and dishonest Scoundrel. 1t

THE subject Of home decoration

outsider hesitates TO make even the

cause the subject is large and impor-

Just a few hints for the women who

such matters, whose experience has

oped from early ages, when caves,
rocks and later mounds of earth and
wood furnished the dwelling place for
the family. Undeveloped were the in
stincts which prompted primeval man
to seek 4 place OF shelter for his own
little circle of human beings. They
were. however. the beginning of the
highest and strongest social institution
in the world. that Of family life and
the private home. Now conditions
have changed, people have developed.
and the home must be something more
than a place of shelter. It is still the
keystone of the nation. the place
where those qualities which make for
good citizenship are developed. and
therefore it is worthy Of all the
thought. all the intelligent planning
and the noblest feelings that can be
brought to it. The true home should
reflect the character Of the people who
inhabit it. and above all else it should
be of such a nature as to bring out
the best there is in each individual
true sense Of the word can and does
do this.
Things Not to Do.
Some Of the most glazing faults in
home furnishing are the commonest.
those committed thoughtlessly or per-
haps, to be more exact. those prompt
ed by the dictates of fashion. 1t is so
much easier very often to put into our
homes and wear on our persons. even

which fashion says are right rather
than to adopt those things which suit
our own individuality. environment
and needs.
Just because fashion states that a
certain kind of wall paper, certain
color in carpets or certain styles III
furniture are the --latest" and new
est is no reason in the world why
they should be put into your bones
unless they will be suitable there. Yet
very many times the decree goes forth
and is followed blindly. with the re-
suit that beauty. harmony and repose
are qualities totally ignored In many
homes. Some one has said: ''The
world is full OF beautiful things il one
has money to buy them. The world is
also full Of ugly things-things false
in art in truth and beauty. They are
things made to sell with only this idea
behind them" So do not be tempted
by the too common expression ut Is
the very latest STYLE" when buying
furnishings for your home or wearing
apparel for yourself unless the very
latest thing" has beauty and suitable

To have something like every one
else IS also another fault made In
house furnishing. That is one reason
why SO many country houses try to
reproduce on q cheaper scale the city
home and why there are % many un-
attractive homes in smaller towns and
country places. Ignorance OF or In

down in the matter has been IN the
amount of lying that has been done
about the preparation and use OF the
Lawler letter. concludes the Nevada
representative, Judge Payen's paper
The president is undoubtedly entitled
to use the work of his subordinates. al
tho there may have been poor dlscre-
ton in calling upon a Ballinger init
mate to write judicial opinion upon
Ballinger; but the whole attitude in the
matter has been that of owning up to
nothing until cornered and then only
TO what can be proven on the other
side, and afterwards discharging any
employee of the government that will
give any information to anybody about
the proceedings of the government. The
attitude is promotive of general sus-
