IOWA AND KANSAS
 PROGRESSIvES WIN.

In Kansas the Republican primaries
 on Wednesday were; carried by
 the Progressives. Gov. Stubbs Pro-
 xressive secured a renomination and
 at least six of the eight Congressional
 candidates of the Progressiyes win.
 This was accomplished despite the
 stumpins tour of Speaker Cannon through the State, in which he at tackled the fEssites with his usual svitriolic yigor. It is probable that.
 he aided, rather than damaged, the
 Progressive campaign. Thus it ap- pears that Kansas, of which the reg
 ulars'' had hopes.is not only Progress
 sive. but increasingly so.
 5 Iowa followed, Thursday, along the
 same line, It's Republican convention
 not only endorsed with enthusiasm the action of the Progressive Republicans in Congress, but also branded the Ald-
 rich tariff as in violation of the last National Republican platform and s the campaign pledges of President Taft Tn addition. the convention I committee on Resolutions, which gave ifun endorsement to President Taft and his policies. Its endorsement of President Taft is of very limited
 and moderate type. \ In substance, ithe platform approves only of such 1, of the Presidents acts as are in ac- cord with Progressive principles. Fol lowing are extracts from, the plat form: tza sS F&
 r~l-. r4lo ro~r, Don,,b1ioopS> do . clare that to deserve the continued support of the people the party should oppose by every means inn its power any political eneroa chmentsh or legis- | lative interference by those who seek to raise extortionate profits through l the acquisition of unjust privileges. ss> They dc> not recognize the tariff re- svision of 1909 as "a satisfactory full 7 f1lment of the patty promises.
 They commend to the nation the !, type of statesmanship exhibited by Senators Deliver. and Cummins and
 they heartily endorse their-swork up- on the tariff bill, the railroad bill and the postal savings bank bill. Competition must be restored where ! it has been overcome by unjust or un- l lawful combinations and ~it must be maintained where it still exists. They ] are not opposed to the mere magni- [ tude of the enterprise but they insist
 
 as will protect the people against the
 exactions of unrestrained avarice and greed.
 It is clear that to enable the rail- road commissions both national and state to discharge the duties impos- ed upon them Nby law a valuation should be made of the physical prop critics of railroad companies to se- \ cure an effective control Of rates and a ecomp1ete system of accounting.
 The Progressives' majority in the { convention was about 300.ss.' It thus | appears that this victory was not of
 the so-called scratch order, but de- cisive.
 These are among the men whom 1 vice-President Sherman Representing | the Taft Administration, Speaker | Cannon and Senator Aldrich have at-
 tempted to read out of the party" In Kansas and Iowa, at least, the i reading out process might easily be reversed.

How Much Must He Earn.

The question of income is impor-
tant says Robert Haven Schaifffier
in Success magazine. In every case
the girls here studied were asked to
estimate the very lowest which they
would insist on for the possible hus-
band. They named amounts ranging
from fourteen dollars a week, the
ambition of a dry-goods clerk in
the North West, to fifty-eight, which
was insisted on by a private secre-
tary in the suburbs of Philadelphia.
The average was $29 a week, or
roundly, $500 a year.
Very few would refuse a man be-
cause he had "sown his wild oats"
and nearly all would confidently ex-
pect to reform him after marriage,
forgetting that mothers, not wives,
are the makers of men.
Despite the fact that modern
science is coming more and more to
the conclusion that tuberculosis is
more an infectious than an inher-
tied disease, business girls would
almost unanimously refuse to marry
. consumptive for fear of transmit
ting 1.-The great white plague" to
their children, but they would not
even think to inquire If the wild
oats" in the question had not curs-
ed their lovers with thing far more
menacing to wife and offspring than
tuberculosis-tha curse which has
recently been named the great
black plague" In fact such a mur-
derous silence has been maintained
about this disease that an aston
ishingly small proportion of young
girls know anything about it; there
fore, the average girl is ready to fall
victim to the first disease coward
who can win her hand. And yet, as
a noted scientist declares, no other
disease can rival this in it's hideous
influence upon parenthood and the
future.

DELTA, Colo, FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1910
Much Enthusiasm Shown

AT Meeting in Pueblo.
publicanism in Pueblo Not a street
corner, hotel lobby or meeting place
of any kind but that had its crowd
of Republican politicians discussing
policies and men for the coming
. campaign. 1t was the largest attend
ed state central committee meeting
in the last twelve years.
Ninety-five of the 120 members
were present, and in addition there
were 200 to 800 leading Republicans
who are not members of the commit
tee, but representatives of the party
from all over the state. There was
not a county that did not have it's
men at the meeting to discuss and
hear discussed, party issues. The
five cities contesting for the state
convention sent their delegations
and brought other delegations where
it were possible, all of which caused
for "a hours as far as the state Re-
publican politics were concerned.
The commercial club rooms of
the Maine hotel, the Chieftain Office,
Woodcroft and the Minnequa club
rooms were the principal places
where the politicians congregated,
but as stated above, those in attend
ance were no respectors of location
and wherever two or three men
were gathered together, you could
go broke that they were discussing
politics.
The beauty of the entire day was
the harmony of all concerned. What
ever may have been said in the past
or what ever is in the minds of the
PARTY for the future, this one thing
is certain, every leader intends to
take Dr. Work at his word and see
to it that the principles and candi-
dates of the party are fought out
in the primaries in the county con-
yentions and in the state conven-
tion. No one attempted to bring
anything before yesterdays commit
tCS hcctih6 llob ihCiudcu III Iic CdH.
No one attempted to advance a
single idea in the meeting on any
candidate, any pledge, any principle,
the extra session, the present ad-
ministration or any thing else.
The committee attended strictly
to it's own business. But this does
not mean that these other matters
were not discussed thoroughly.
There were men present in favor G
every so-called reform. There were
men present against every reform.
There were a dozen candidates buzz
Zing around trying to get line on
the situation and secure delegations
for their candidacy. There Is not
a principle or a candidate that has
been discussed for the last two year
who was not represented and oppos-
ed in Pueblo at that meeting. all
of which goes to show that the In
individual members of the party ant
the individual leaders in their re-
spective districts are alive to the
issues and when the state conven
ton does meet, 1t will be the most
representative convention that hai
ever been held because every mem
Der of the party will have been dis
cussing measures and candidates ant

While there were almost as many
ideas present as there were men,
still the prevailing idea was one of
getting together and working to
bring success this fall.

Favors the Issuance of Bonds to Pay the
Expenditures of the Panama
Canal Proposition.

Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
Governor Fort of New Jersey and
the president were the principal
speakers at the banquet.
Taft n speaking spoke favorably
of the proposition to pay the Pana-
ma canal expenditure by bonds. He
said it seemed only fair that that
which we provide in such a generous
measure for posterity should be
paid for in part at least, by pos
terity. Continuing Taft referred
to the discrepancy between the es-
timated cost of the canal and the
actual cost as we are now able to
fix it within four or five years OF
it's completion. The estimated cost
of the engineering and construction
|of the canal was $139,700,000,
while the actual cost for engineer
ing and construction of the canal
will be $297 100000, an increase OF
$4,000, 900. The increase is ex-
planned by the increased cost OF
labor and material from the time
when the estimate was made ii
1900 and the time when work was
done between 1904 and 1903, and
the fact that the canal was en-
larged beyond the original dimen
sions estimated for.
I The cost of sanitation is esti
mated at $73.000,000, making
total cost of the canal at 1913,
i 100000.
i '.In view of the threatened short
age for the year ending June 80
1911" Taft said, "I have directe'
the heads of the departments I
cut the estimate to the quick, an
: the result was $42,S1S,0 900 less tha
the total appropriations for the pre-
+ vious year"
4 President Taft stated there Woul
) still be deficit unless the tart
r bill and corporation tax exceede
& what was originally estimated frol
E them. In speaking of the war az
V partment, Taft stated the needs
t the Atlantic and Pacific coast,
) we'll as Hawaii and the Philippine
! Turning to the subject of the con
i mission proposed to reduce the go
q ernmental expense Taft said ne w;
+. sure a conservative, prudent an
y fearless commission could make M
o terial reductions in the cost OF Il
i. administering of the government.

precisely alike; indeed, 1t Is said
that in some particulars they are
so dissimilar that the court might
find in favor of the government In
one case and against it in another.
The two cases are alike in that
they are proceedings in equity to
enjoin alleged violations Of the law
of the land. Neither is in its es-
sence criminal action; in neither
does the government seek to pro-
cure either Imprisonment OF indi'
viduals or exemplary fines upon
the defendants. In both suits the
charges pressed are those alleging
unlawful combination and conspir
acy in restraint of interstate trade
and commerce, and continuing mo

NEWARK, N. j., Feb. 23.-Pres-
ident Taft prefaced prepared ad-
dress before the Newark board of
trade tonight with passionate
statement of his feelings, after be
ing year in the white house, which
brought the audience to its feet
with cheers He took occasion to
pay his respects to the newspapers
by saying that he was going home
to the white house to avoid them.
Former Governor Franklin Murphy
in introducing President Taft pre-
dicted that the president would
make good and also took fling
at the newspapers. In speaking
Of the newspapers Taft said: When
the newspapers are prone OF criti-
cism they sometimes unite in ham
mering your administration, treat
ing it sometimes with cOntemptu-
[ous disdain, and sometimes with ]
patronizing friendship. 1t is hard
to overcome the feeling and per.
haps you ought to begin all ovel
again."
''In view of all that, to have re
| ceived the welcome which | did to
day, gives a little hope that per
haps the newspapers don't carry u
their pockets all of the public opin
/ ion and perhaps the American peo
/ pie are able to see through some
thing of the hysteria, or somethin,
of hypocracy and have real sym
pathy for the man who is unde

SANTA ROSA, Cal, Feb. 23.-
Hiram w. Johnson, who, with J. X.
Leppo of Santa Rosa, has been re-
tanned by DR.. w. P. Burke, came
here from San Francisco yesterday,

The visit to the scene of the ex-
plosion on DR.. Burke's sanatorium
grounds by Johnson Birmingham
of San Francisco. an expert in ex

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-While
the supreme court of the United
States has youchsafed no intimation
on the subject, it is generally sup
posed here that the decision in the
case of the American Tobacco com
pany, which has already been ar
gued before the court, will not be
handed down at least until after
the argument in the case OF the
Standard Oil company, which is set
for March IA.
Attorney General Wickersham, In
his motion to advance the hearing
of the latter case, described the
two as essentially kindred, and sug-
gested to the court that they be
/, considered together.
Lawyers here generally concur
in the statement made by Mr.. Wick
ersham to the court, that these two
cases together present for its con
sideration practically the entire
range of modern industrial organi
cations in this country and sub
stantially every feature of tn
trust question" SO far as it fail
