SIMPLE LANGUAGE FOR ALL
Ready.Made Tongues Are Doomed to
Die-Short Life " Latest In.
vention Will Hold.

Albany, N. Y.-If the inventors and
promoters of so-called universal Ian.
guages" continue their activities, arti-
1cial languages will at last be nearly
as numerous as those Of natural
growth.
Quite a number of years ago the
ldea that 1t might be possible to con-
struct q simple language that could
be made readily available for COM
mercial intercourse among all nations
was materialized In the jargon that
was called Volapuk. For that, all the
good points were claimed that have
since been claimed for its various sue
cessors For q time 1t had limited
vogue. A few enthusiasts devoted
themselves to the study Of it and held
meetings at which it alone was
spoken. Then it gradually passed into
the limbo Of forgotten things.
Next. Esperanto was brought out
with copious assurances that 1t was
indeed the real thing. Then came Ro,
another artificial language said to be
perfectly good. The latest addition to
the list, Is called lido. There may have
been others, but we do not now recall
them.
All these readyAmade languages have
this feature in common, that they
look like what is called "hog Latin"
n sound like it when one tries to
speak the words. They are constructed
mostly from Latin roots, with a few
conveniently adaptable Anglo-Saxon
ones mixed in. Their simplicity" is
In the use Of a large variety of ter
limitations to denote gender and mum
Der in the case of verbs.
That no artificial language will ever
become useful for any kind Of inter-
course among the people of the differ
ent countries, is a foregone conclu.
sion. Only a live one can become uni
versal. An artificial language is still
born, and 1t Is as impossible to gal
vanize it into life as it would be to
revive and bring back into use one Of
the dead languages.
Unless all signs fail, there is just
one live language that is destined to,
become the universal medium of BUSH
ness intercourse, and that one is Eng!
lish.

PLANNING FOR FARM COURSES
Leaders In University Of illinois An
nounce Scheme to Improve
Rural Conditions.

Chicago.-An undertaking which is
expected to work a wonderful improve
ment in the condition Of rural life in
this state, is announced by the Uni
versity of Illinois. The plan is to in
troduce agriculture as a study in the
rural schools Of the state. where the
farmer boy in general acquires about
all the education he receives before
he grows to manhood.
AS the first step, Prof. Fred l..
Charles of the state university at
Urbana has sent out a call for a con-
ference to be held at the state college
of agriculture on March "a, rs and 26.
lat this season of the year." Prof.
Charles said, many teachers are ask
Ing for assistance, administrative off,
GERS are requesting materials, bulle-
tins, aid in planning experimental
plots, etc. The state normal school,
farmers Institutes, rural school d.
rectors, educational and agricultural
journals and other important agencies
are all working upon the problem in
its various phases. There is felt a
need. however, for closer cooperation,
and this confidence will do much to
unity these forces and to formulate
definite steps in advance.
las 1t is intended to bring together
at this time only the more active
workers, the sessions will be confined
to the treatment of practical concrete
topics. Five sessions will be held;
formal papers will be brief. assuring
amplest opportunity for round-table
discussion. 1t is hoped that school au-
thorities will recognize the Importance
of this gathering and make it possible
for interested teachers to attend with
out expense"
1t is believed that the conference
will arouse general interest through
out the state and will result in much
practical good.

lect data to confuse the voter re-
specting the sins of the past revision,
not data to convince of the necessity
for a further revision.
That such employees" mere cleri-
cal assistants to the President, would
have any weight with Congress, to
which they have no official relation,
is most improbable. Even Mr.. Taft
admits this. He says that unless a
parliamentary rule is adopted, under
which a bill revising one schedule
shall not be subject to amendments
that would add a revision of other
schedules, the 'panacea will" f6f
course be impracticable." The Sen
ate would never adopt such a rule
and no House would in which rem
nant of stand-pat domination pre-
vailed.
When they note how large part
of the legislation, other than tariff
legislation, on which Mr.. Taft plumes
himself was due to the work of dem
ocrats and insurgents, the voters I'M
questionably will conclude that what
the country needs is more Democrats
and insurgents at Washington.
To one of the principal causes of
disaffection Mr.. Taft makes no refer
ence whatever. That is Cannonism.

THE CHANCES.

There is no doubt at all that a
number of the leading progressives
have determined to defeat Govern
or Carroll at the polls in November.
Senator Cummins and some of the
other leaders of that wing of that
party may deny this and talk of
harmony, union etc., but the edict
has gone forth, that Governor Car
roll is to be slaughtered. There are
thousands of Republicans in Iowa
who may publicly talk of voting the
straight ticket, who at the same
time are preparing to cast their
votes against the governor and are
planning and hoping for his defeat.
They cannot be forced by party ties
or party fealty to support Governor
Carroll.
And what adds to the force and
effectiveness of this political revolt
is the fact that the democratic can
didate for governor, Claude R. Por-
ter, is all able, honest, manly man.
He deservedly stands high in the
esteem of men of all parties as an
able and clean man, in whom every
loWan can take pride as a govern or
or as man. They know, as all
know, that as governor he would
make an able, manly, honorable Of
fetal. This knowledge will have a
great effect at the election. AS it
stands now, Porter's election is not
only probable. 1t is more than this
1t is almost certain. Indeed from
the present outlook his chances for
election are the best, and this toe
in the face of the fact that Iowa has
for many years been regarded as a
sure and always safe Republican
state
All that is required of the Iowa
Democrats to secure the election OF
Porter is that they give him their
own solid vote. The others will dc
the rest. Senator Cummins might
now as in the past draw to himself
votes, but it is doubtful if Governor
Carrot can draw to himself one
hundred Democratic votes in all OF
the ninety-nine counties of Iowa, in
Guiding his own home county OF
Davis National Democrat.

THE PASSING SHOW

There were two figures in the re-
cent Iowa Republican convention
representing the regulars, or stand
patters; who deserve notice. They
We're John F. Lacey and William P.
Hepburn. Both were typical repre-
sentatives has beens'' in politics.
But of the two, Lacey is the man to
command attention. When he was
in congress he accomplished results
which will leave an impression as
time endures. Through his efforts
laws were passed which have made
reservations of that which was mar
Vicious in nature, and saved for all
time places that are destined to be-
come wonder spots of the world
He obtained the passage also of
laws which have created game pre-
serves that the wild animals and
the birds of America may not dis
appear from the earth.
Hepburn's name is attached to a
most important railroad law which
does not contain section of his
drafting. Hepburn, in the Iowa
convention, denounced insurgency,
| although his only just claim to re-
| cognition is based on his own cir
| regularity" Victor Murdoch and
George Norris never denounced the
house rules in stronger terms than
those employed by Hepburn every
two years. In the Republican caucus
"Hepburn's biennial in the fight
on the rules" was famous. No man
in the Republican party ever criti-
cised Cannon so severely as Hepburn
did. His assaults were vigorous and
vicious. He could not be otherwise
than vigorous in any thing he had to
say.
Lacey has always been regular, a
careful, honest, painstaking legislat-
or. Hepburn was always insurgent
until he fought his way to the top
but has often been accused of trim.
ming his sails to catch the wind
However neither Lacey or Hepburn,
understands what is going on in
western politics. They do not real
lze what changes are taking place
Both Lacey and Hepburn wanted tc
go to the Senate when Dolliver was
appointed. Both they and Dollivel
belonged to same wing of the party
at that time. Both Hepburn anc
Lacey were at Chicago two years age
with LATE Young, blocking the will
OF the majority of the Republican
delegates who wanted to nominate
Dolliver for Vice-President. The,

other chance. Their counsel wa

time in his career was denied {

WORK AND WIN.

The only thing that stands in the
way of democratic success this fall
will be a neglect in getting out and
polling the full democratic vote. The
opportunity to elect the state ticket
is before us and all that is necessary,
is for every democrat in Iowa to turn
out to the polls in November and
Claude Porter will be the next gov
ernor of Iowa. Thousands of repub-
licans and independents feel that
they have been gold bricked long
enough and are saying that this is a
good year to elect democrats to office
in Iowa.
The one thing necessary to carry
the day for democracy is organiza-
ton and this should be done not only
promptly but Systematically. Every
Committeeman should be up and do
ing. Every voter should be known
to him and every democrat made to
realize that on his individual vote
and work depends the success of his
party ticket. The opportunity is
here and is knocking at the door OF
Iowa democracy. The party has
done it's part in the matter of NOM
nations by placing before the voters
an exceptionally strong ticket COM
posed of honest, capable and clean
candidates, not alone in the state
but on the congressional, judicial
and county ticket. With the exist
ing conditions the result of the cleo
ton is entirely in the hands of the
democrats themselves. Let the or
ganization be complete and thorough.
If every committeeman gets busy
and every democrat made to see the
Importance of his cooperation in
getting out the democratic vote, the
election of the democratic ticket will
crown their effort. 1t is part i
the duty of every democrat to assist
in the perfection of such organiza-
ton.

THE TARIFF AND COTTON.

Even such protectionists as Sen
ator Lodge have ceased to pretend
to the farmer that a high tariff
makes corn grow taller or hogs grow
fatter, but we still note occasional ex-
amples of density among newspa-
per apologists for the AldrichTaft
tariff and it's increased cost of living.
"Who gets the money!" they roar,
and by columns of misleading figures
seek to establish that the farmer
profits by the tariff, and will lose if
the tariff wall is thrown down.
To see how this works out let us
consider cotton.
A bale of cotton weighs 500
pounds. The planter sells it for Is
cents pound, or SIS. The New
England cotton mill makes it into
yarn. The New England hosiery
mill knits it into socks. The bale
will make $500 pairs. At 10 cents
a pair the socks will bring $3.50
"Who gets the money!" The New
England mill boss pays his employees
less than So week, but he pays his
stockholders dividends that run vi
as high as 60 per cent per annum OF
millions of watered securities.
The Aldrich-Taft tariff is simply
special permission to the textile trus
to charge higher prices than thei1
goods are worth. The story of tn,
bale of cotton furnishes the RICH
answer to the question, "Who get
the money?

RIDING TWO HORSES.

President Taft's letter to Congess-
man Mckinley is an interesting cam
paign document. 1t is especially
interesting in the evidence it af-
fords that the President recog-
nizes that the tariff is at least one Of
the paramount issues of this years
campaign. Fully half of the letter
is devoted to the impossible effort to
prove that the Payne-Aldrich law is
the best tariff law ever enacted.
His endeavor to say something
that will appease the widespread dis
content caused by the failure of Con-
gress to fulfill the pledges of 1908
is effective only in neutraliZing the
argument of standpatters who de-
fend the new law And it must be
remembered that up to date practic-
ally all defense has been made from
that standpoint. The Republican par
ty, therefore, is now in full retreat
under the orders of it's chief COM
mander.
The revision was downward only
on those schedules that promised lit
tie benefit or no benefit at all to the
people. Mr.. Taft admits. the need
of further revision on those things
which alone can furnish real relief.
He conveys vague assurance of
such revision, but the assurance is
of such character as to create the
gravest doubt as to whether, the ex-
perience in the case of the former
revision being still vivid in the minds
of the voters, it will ever be fulfilled.
While giving this assurance, Mr..
Taft has, manifestly endeavored to
write in a fashion that will not alarm
business, for business always breads
the unsettled condition that results
from the tendency of tariff changes.
1t won't be much of shower, after
all, he declares. Only single sched-
ules will be taken up,on at time,
he says, "and this method will tend
to avoid disturbing business condi-
tons" He is thus revealed in the
familiar role that has been destruc-
tive in the past of so many illusions
lie is trying again to ride two horses.
1t is his chief, his inveterate weak
ness.
The so-called tariff board idea has
been repeatedly subjected to exami-
nation, but when the Chief Magis-
trate offers it as panacea for all our
tariff ills it is entitled for re-exami-
nation. He refers to it in terms
which virtually imply that the de-
velopment of this idea is to be re-
garded as one of the masterstrokes
of his administration, and yet there
is, as matter of fact, no tariff
board" The Aldrich act merely au-
thorized the President to employ
such persons as may be required to
assist him in gathering information.
Those designated under the act
are not officers, but only employees -
They have no authority to summon
persons or send for papers. The in
formation they are to gather is not
information on the general subject
of the tariff, but is.limited strictly to
data on the maximum and minimum
feature of the law. The design was
that if those employees" exceeded
the scope of the act they should col

But He Doesn't Live in Leon Mo-
Read the Reporter.

A man in Connecticut gave a doc
tor, a specialist in catarrh, $50 to
cure him of this common yet most
obnoxious disease.
The specialist gave him bottle
of medicine and told him when and
how to use it.
The fool took the medicine home,
took one dose, put it on shelf and
made no further effort to follow in
structions.
Three months later with the med
icine still on the shelf he told a
friend that the specialist was a fake;
that he had paid him $50 and still
had catarrh as bad as ever.
This story is told for purpose.
HYOMEI pronounce it High-o-me)
won't cure catarrh if you don't
breathe it; it will cure catarrh if
you breathe it regularly.
Furthermore you don't have to
give catarrh specialist $50 to cure
you of catarrh, for the specialist is
yet to be born who can write bet
ter prescription than HYOMEI.
Van Werden & Kopp and druggists
everywhere guarantee HYOMEI to
cure catarrh or money back. A COM
plete outfit which consists of a bottle
of HYOMEI, a hard rubber inhaler
and simple instructions for use costs
only $1.00. Separate bottles of HY-

Some Good Suggestions.

The Republican county conventions
have all been held and the list of
senators nominated promises that If
all these selections are ratified at the
polls las is likely to be the case, the
next state senate will be fully up to
the average in ability. The Rutland
Herald offers suggestion that is
well worthy of consideration and
action by these candidates when it
says at 1T will not be unwise, per-
haps, - recomend that they spend
their spare moments during the in
term before the session in studying
up on the questions to come before
the next Legislature. Many OF them
doubtless are handicapped by a lack
of training in law This can be Off
set to a great extent by reading and
thought. Lawmakers who are actu-
ally in touch with state problems
will prove valuable men at Montpel-
Ter instead of being obliged to seek
advice in regard to what stand they
should take on the different meas
ures." The legislator who really
knows what he believes on import
ant state issues and is able to pre-
sent the reasons for his opinions, is
