Republican Statements Disproved.

Republican Statements Disproved.
 It may not be news, but it is iInpor- tant, to be assured by the chairman of the Republican Congressional Com naittee that the Republican party is standing pat and will make no apology for its records" The same that I've see no reason to change the opinion that the Republicans will control the next House of Representa- tfves He likewise declares that esprices are as high in free-trade Eng land and elsewhere abroad as in this country,
 trifuga1 sugar in New York and Lon don is sufficient to disprove the lat ter statement, namely:
 sIn 1900 per 100 pounds, New York.
 In 1900 per 100 pounds, London, s244.
 In 1909 per 100 pounds, New York.
 In 1909 per 100 pounds, London s2.2s.
 United States ConsuI-General Grif- filth at London in his late report of prices in England says: Some lines, main practically the same as ten years ago, while immateria1 decreases are noted in the prices of iron, steel, farming implements, brick, cement and oil.''
 Evryone here knows that the price of most of such commodities in the vanced during the same period It may be true, and probably is, that prices in the high protected countries abroad are as high as in this country, but in free trade England they are on an average 35 per cent lower than here; and on some manufactured the United States the price is over 50 per cent lower than here
 Facts About Roosevelt.
 That MT. Roosevelt is a very cratic person even his friends must admit; but there is one thing for which he is steadfast, and that is his great ad- rniration for Roosevelt. He thinks that, he is right all the time and has stated that. like Caesars wife, his ac- tions are above suspicion whatever he has has, played fast and loose with ali factions of the Republican party. He was cheek by jowl with Cannon. Ald- rich, Payne, Sherman and Dalze1l when occasion suited him; he unqual- ifiedIy praised Mark Hanna, Matt Quay and Henry w. Payne when they died; yet he and all men knew that they were unblush1ng political cor ruptionists; he invited Hartman to the White House and urged him to raise s26o,ooo for the National Re the state of New York, which Harri-. man said turned 5o,e00 votes in New York city alone; two years later he violently assai1ed Hartman; he was schening with My dear Maria to induce the Vatican to elect Archbishop Ireland a Cardinal as reward for his fidelity to Roosevelt Republicanisn, and later he went back on her by ini- tiating her as a charter member of the Ananias Club. These are but a few of the many instances of the Ka1eidoscopic changes of the Colonel and there are many more that might be cited.

What do the voters care for the animosities of Taft and Teddy and their followers? The main thing is the question of the~'policies that will be pursued and whether the cost of living will be reduced to match the ordinary income.

abandonment of plans for Sunday
theater in Fort Dodge. 1t was planned

Des Moines, Ia. June 3O.-Weather
and crop bulletin for the week ending
June &c, 1910:
Another week OF ideal corn weather
has caused a decided Improvement in
the condition Of that crop. The plants
have made an abnormally rapid
growth; the fields were never cleaner
at this time of the year and the soil
is In the very best physical condition
to Withstand the effects of dry wealth
er. Some of the early planted corn, in
southern counties, is knee high" and
will be laid by during the coming
week. The average temperature was
about degrees above the normal and
the maximum temperatures were above
80 degrees every day of the week
There was also an excessive amount of
sunschin,e but the rainfall was much
below the normal. In fact the precpii-
tation was practically nil over large
part of the state. There We're, however,
light and widely scattered showers over
the central counties during the last
three days which will be of great bene-
lit in the localities where they occurred
All small grains are doing remarkably
we'll but will soon need rain. Pastur-
age and early potatoes are showing the
effect of the drouthy conditions more
than any other crops. Clover hay har-
vest has begun and some timothy has
been cut in southern counties and the
reports indicate a fairly good yield of
the former, but the latter crop will be
light In all parts Of the state.
