after the election and then giving it
publicity.
Present discussion of the bill turns
on this point. The bill as it passed
the house required publicity in adj

stricken out this provision and it seems
likely that if the measure becomes a
law at all at this time it will be as
thus modified.
II is interesting to note that nearly
all the members Of the senate comuli-

way that would be prejudicial to the

hardly imagine an issue more worthy

democrats experienced no embarrass-

when it is completed. 1t is significant
however, that the democrats in con-
gres, no more than the republicans,
are clamoring for this feature.

The people of Rockford. I'LL. after a
year under prohibition. have made COM
promise with the saloon, but they have
spared no pains to show the drink devil
what they really think OF him. The new
liquor ordinance provides that bar
room must be single room without
connection with others and without
tables. chairs or dumb walters. Two
stools only are allowed for the use of
the proprietor and bartender. Treating
is prohibited and the ban has fallen up
on the free lunch. music and games of
chance. In Rockford certainly it shall
not be said that men go to the saloon
because it is SO much more attractive
than home. Denuded Of all its historic
accessories and refinements the saloon
is reduced to the bare function of a
dramsl1op. The man who would be
seen entering it's unattractive doors adj
vertises himself as a slave to the evil
habit. Rather than to do that, a great
many men in Rockford will go on tax
ing their liquor in the surreptitious
way in which they have been taking it
under prohibition.

There has been so little rain this
spring that the Iowa roads have been
good without dragging. Now that rain
is falling, township trustees and all
who have to do with the roads of Iowa
should be prepared TO drag certain sec
tons of the roads at once. Another
important thing is to see that the
bitches at the roadside are open and
that the water has an opportunity to
escape. The present good roads can be
maintained by a little attention at the
proper time.

HOW IT GROWS.

Mason City Times.1
In view of the plain intent Of the
standpatters of Iowa not only to defeat
every candidate for congress who is
progressive, but to take over the entire
party in the state and all the offices.
the demand the past week for a
staunch and earnest progressive candi-
date for governor has become almost
overwhelming The standpatters have
literally forced a fight and the present
governor is working in full sympathy
with them on every question.

finds that one eye is bad or his nose is
lopsided; the tailor tells him that one
shoulder is lower than the other; the
shoemaker says his feet are not mates.
If he has any pride left he goes to the
hospital and finds that his vermiform
appendix is abnormal.

The LADY IN GRAY

In footsteps as soft as the violet,
In rusIling of skirts of the rose,
The Lady in Cray is the twilight,
And over the valley she goes.
"A twinkle OF dew in the purple
Last fash of the sun on the hill,
And then the great music of silence
That sings when all singing is still.
Oh, folding, felicitous moment.
One rose On her breast burning red.
And then. a sweet Quaker in sandals,
Day dies in a dream Of the dead.
A ribbon of pink on her forehead.
A jewel Of dusk III her ear;
The world fading far in the distance,
The spirit, white footed, drawn
near.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The lineup is simple enough, points
out the Grinnell Register. Those who
want the railroads to be allowed to pool
to raise rates without allowing the
commission to veto them before they go
into effect, those who want the deposits
of the postal savings banks bundled up
and taken down to New York, those
who want every bill introduced by the
administration to go thru without
scrutity, should be upon one side.
Those who are opposed to these things
should be upon the other. Take your
pick

congressional map Sioux City will be

in Illinois will be wholly lost if 1t is not

about the senatorial election that put

The coming election will be the final
test of reactionaryism in Iowa" says
the Waterloo Courier. IF the stand

will be carried on, but If they lose. as

enough of the old system left by next
election to put up an interesting con-
test with the prohiibtionists."

DEPEW PAYS TRIBUTE
To Pres. Taft, EXPIRES. Roosevelt and
Speaker Cannon.

Washington, March 24.-Predictng

people, as the wisest President who
ever sat in the White House and that
ex-President Roosevelt would return to
America from Africa and his triumph
al tour of Europe 1.-The same Roose-
welt he always was" to support the

ing the uprising in the House against
Speaker Cannon as q failure, Seator
Chauncey M. Depew stirred the New
York State Club in an address mere to-
night.
Though his tribute to President Taft
was received with enthusiasm, Mr..
Depew's description of recent events
in Congress and his laudation of
Roosevelt were interposed with pro-
longed and vOc;ferous cheering. The
senator said of Speaker Cannon:
when / think that in this enlght-
encd period of civilization, with all it
means for good government and the
rights of the people. there should have
occurred in the Capitol the other day,
such u scene, an attack upon Joseph G
luton in Parliamentary government

humanely than Thomas B. Reed, or
Crisp, or Henderson or any of his pre-
decessors ever did-when i think that
such bad man as that should have
been given a vote of confidence |
wonder what is this world coming to. :"
Referring to Mr.. Roosevelt, Senator
Depew said the former President TOLD
him before he left for Africa that he
understood Wall Street had expressed
a wish that the lions would eat him
up.
From the last reports of the lions
convention" said the senator, "such
was not the verdict. He is returning
to this country to support the con-
tinuation of his policies as they are
being carried out today.
president Taft differs from his pre-
decessor in that he has judicial mind
He is perfecting the policy which
Roosevelt happily inaugurated for the
control of corporations.
The existing apparent wave of pes
simism and unpopularity will pass. AS
President Tafts eminent ability, de-
termination and courage grow on the
American people their verdict will be
that there was never a better, or more
Judicious or wiser man in the White
House than William H. Taft"
