President Taft did not succeed in
getting from congress all he wanted.
The republican leaders in congress,
while conceding some things at the end
which they would not have thought of
conceding at the beginning, did not
concede enough. They did not keep
the party's pledges and the result has
been tremendous loss to them in pres
tige Their failure to do all that they
promised has lost President Taft tens

how deeply the public disapproves the
course that a republican congress has
taken. But when al is said. intelligent

the president of the responsibility for
the mistake that has been made in tar

ifs against goods coming from Cam
ada, there would be two-fold effect.
First, If grain, flour, breadstuffs AMI
mails of all kinds, fruit, fish, poultry,
poultry, eggs, butter, cheese, hides,
and timber were allowed to be sent In
practically free, the result would be a
very large decrease IN the cost of Nv
ing, with the further result OF very
much improved ability to manufacture
in competition with foreign countries
having lower cost of living than at
present obtains in the United States.
Is this something to be desired? While
not lowering the standard OF living,
getting the same standard at a great
deal less cost
On our side it would mean the open
ing of new country by leaps and
bounds; fresh Inhabitants pouring in
with their purchasing power not less
than at present and constantly ipcreas-
ing, does it not open out enormous pos
sibilities in the way Of trade for your
manufactured goods?
With such a proposition as this
preached by the administration is 1t
not remarkable that Captain I Hull,
Colonel Young. Bernard Murphy. David
Brant, Cyrenus Cole, J. L. Waite and
the rest should all suddenly have lost
their voices?
Not word out of any of them in
protest against this scheme to import
free food into New England and cut
the prices Of Iowa farm products. just
because it happens that the president
has suddenly taken up with the no
ton.
If Senator Cumnlins had reopened
the discussion with a real reciprocity
in view. Iowa would be vocal with de-
nunciation But now clam bed could
not be more voiceless.
P. S. Captain Hull turned "insurg-
ent'' at Knoxville Saturday He con-
fessed that he was against the presi-
dent. Having gone thus far. why not
now go further and admit that the sem
ators from Iowa have been making a
great fight for the right all along the
line?

AN OLD SOLDIER ON PALMER

David Palmer is still candidate for
re- election as railroad commissioner.
He was first appointed by Judge Hub
bard and J. w. Blythe, or by their

officials are out in full force for him.
for they know by past experience that
Dave will do their bidding. Aside
from all of this. unless he is Woefully
lied about, he is a badly disslpated and
licentious man. In fact, just such a
man as should be left OF Of this board.
Yes he was soldier and served in the
same command with the editor of this

CARROLL IN CERRO GORDO.

Governor Carroll will not carry the
normal standpat vote of Cerro Gordo
county. Whatever may be said of a
standpatter he neither admires nor sup
ports straddler. One vital weakness
in the Carroll candidacy this year is
that neither his administration nor his
personality appeal to the fighting
mem bers of either faction-only the
non-combat ants, find anything in his
attitude TO approve.

THE LOGIC OF TT.

1T is gravely argued by the Des

has secured more than five million dol
lars for Des tMoines and therefore Des
Moines should stand by Congressman
Hull. BY the same token, every re-
publican should be against the nomina-
ton of Captain Hull in Marion coun-

logic, Captain?
