AS TO "RIDicuLE AND CONTEMPT"

The OttumNa Review is outraged
over the removal of Mayor Phillips.
More particularly that Ottumwa SIS
today dashed with the comments of
ridicule and contempt even as the
mayor himself where not so well known
is viewed as man unified for leader
ship in governmental capacities. We,
the city, suffer humiliation while per-
haps as much as 95 per cent of the
population 70 Ottumwa frowned upon
the litigation against the mayor so
conceived and conducted. believing that
the offense was most trivial COM
plains the Review.
Il may be permitted to explain to the
Review that an offense against a
statute and the criminal laws of Iowa
is not generally considered trivial 1t
might further be permitted 10 convey
20 the esteemed Ottumwa paper that
Ottumwa is gaining ground in the es-
TEEN OF the state because of that re-
moval. because such removals are
pledges TO the decency of the city. They
say abroad that when mayors get
drunk in public, when bawdy houses
and gambling bells are given free hand
that decency has its expedient at hand
and that Ottp.nwa, long under the ban
Of a bad reputation is coming up out
of a long bondage TO vice and the
vicious who pander for price to the
vicious. II offers mewhat Of pledge
that Ottumwa will not be the mecca

terror Of the Clara Rosens of the fut-

able qualities and many friends; but he
got drunk, was profane and ungentle-
manly on the public streets and evaded
his sworn duty to the benefit of gam b.
lers and prostitutes He ought TO go.
He has gone. Let him stay.

1as1 CONES OVER 70 cuMM,as.


President Taft has heard the mes
sage from Iowa Its wisdom, its
prophecy, it's very insistence has been
accept ed by him. Within the same
month Of its sending he Acknowledges
that the republican platform of Iowa
has defined republ!canism for the ma
ton. Those who lament the loss OF
prestige and influence for Iowa with
the death Of Allison can turn toward
the east and welcome a leadership in
the person Of Cummins, which creates
and defines public policies instead Of
following the course Of special inter-
ests.
Read il in the coming republican
campaign book wherein President Taft
has, the news dispatches announce, at
last reached the conclusion that there
is decided room for Improvement in
the tariff schedules The republican
platform adopted under the Cummins
leadership at Des Moines declared that
They DO not recognize the revision of
1909 as a satisfactory fulfillment of the
party promise Having read the Des
Meines platform and having listened
to the nations comment upon 1t, the
presiden has at last" accepted the
Iowa senator's view in preference to
his own unfortunate expressions made
at Winona. The Winona speech will
not appear in The campaign text book
But his conversion is even more
complete. Mr.. Taft does not propose
that business shall be upset by another
wholesale revision" the dispatches tell
us. "but he will recommend to con-
gress that individual schedules IN the
tariff system be taken up separately
and be disposed of on scientific basis :"
He believes most heartily IN the wis
aca. Of the To.*a platform which de-
clares that They profoundly believe
that when the tariff is again revised
It's schedules should be considered
separately so that each subject can be
death with upon its merits and thus
secure fair and impartial action upon
the part Of congress"

into a complete compliance with the
rule of the platform. 1t is necessary

will repeat in the text book that further
revision should be made and that the

findings OF the new tariff commission
as to the cost Of production at home

Debate in Iowa should cease. Pres

should lay down it's arms and come In

'sel.ct Seed From Stalk.

Now is the time to get busy with
the seed corn problem; not next spring
Just before planting time.
The use of a little care in the selec-
ton, curing and testing Of seed corn
would result in a great increase in the
total yield of this crop in Wisconsin,
writes Prof. r. A. Moore, of the Col
lege OF Agriculture, Of the University
of Wisconsin. He has Just written a
circular Of Information, No. 1S. issued
at the agricultural experiment station,
giving details on curing and testing
seed corn.
"The first steps toward better seed
corn for the next year must be taken
in the fall by selecting the seed ears
from the stalks in the field" continues
Professor Moore. "The corn should

PROMOTING HARMONY.

tWebster City Freeman Tribunel
The president need not think for a
minute that he can promote harmony
here In Iowa by following the advice
Of sach men as Hon. Frank D. jackson,
Col. Lafayette Loung, Major Lacey and
Col. Hepburn in the appointment OF
federal officials to those positions rec
ognized thru long period of precedent
as the perquisites of members OF con-
gress. The republicans Of Iowa-the
progressive republicans-offer no COM
plant against Judge Smith controlling
these matters in his district, but the
progressive republicans Of the Tenth
district do object to having that cour-
tesy withheld from the republican
member of congress from this district,
and 1t is useless for Mr.. Taft to talk
harmony while he is pursuing such a
course.
Moreover, republicans must be per-
mitted to construe the platform CT the
party according to their own judgment
and must be permitted to follow con-
science upon economic questions free
from the dictation of caucus or other
influence calculated to force men to
vote for thing which they do not ap-
prove

twelve years, with the object of de-

Poultry Notes.

| Ducks will grow in size and weight

have the right feed and care Therein

the garden is growing, throw lawn
clippings, lettuce, etc. in so that they

will tend to keep vermin out.
| Do not allow sick and ailing fowls
to run with the flock. If all drink
and eat together disease will spread
rapidly thru the whole flock.

she can we'll cover, give the overflow

An egg is sometimes broken in the nest
and the others will be smeared with it.
Wash them carefully with tepid water
and replace them gently in the nest.
Keep clean fresh water before the
chicks at all times. If they go with
