POLITICAL PARTIES NECESSARY

In a government like ours, political
parties are necessity in order to give
expression to the sentiment of the peo-
pie. The old town-meeting of the early
days did well enough when all the men
of assertion could conevne and vote
upon any measure proposed for the
public good But with a large popula-
ton scattered through many states and
territories such method would be
cumbersome and wholly inefficient. In
his recent address at Rochester, New
York, President Taft said concerning
this matter that this is government
of party. If it were not so we might
as well go out of the government bust
ness, for, we will never get ahead with
out parties How are you going to give
expression to the varying views of ninety
millions of people and put them into
legislation unless you organize parties
to select representatives, and agree
with the party to subordinate your less
material predictions in favor of GER
tain fundamental principles.

An Expert On Oscillation

A successful young novelist was prais-
ing the critical powers of famous
author. "Said he, once had the honor
of reading tale of mine to this author,
and thanks to his criticism the story was
greatly improved. The tale concluded
with these words:
Mabels lovely eyes dropped for an
answer, faint flush tinted her cheek,
she gave him both her hands; and there
in the old orchard. in the shade of the
heavy fruited trees, he drew her to his
breast and, raising her long ringlets to
his lips, kissed them reverently." The
author, at this ending, blew cloud of
smoke into the air, and as he watched
it curl upwards drawled OUT
"Now what do you honestly think of
young man who would go nibbling
away at a girls back hair when she had
her whole rosebud mouth right along
with her?"-London It'd Bits.

SOME REPUBLICAN EDITORS

The Republican editors of Mr.. Can
mons district over in Illinois got togeth-
er last week and all but one voted to en-
dorse the speaker. On some details of
policy they did not agree, but they were
practically q unit in favor of holding up
the hands of the administration and the
republican organization in both the
Senate and the House, OF this meeting
the st. Louis Globe Democrat which is
a strong Republican paper, speaks as
follows:
Stand by the Republican Congress
and the Republican administrator" is
the counsel which MeSsrs Taft, Cullom
and Cannon give, and which the Illinois
Republican editors, speaking for the
masses of the Republican voters of their
state, indorse. The advice applies to
the Republicans of the whole country.
1t meets the demands of public spirit as
well as of common sense. Congress and
administration are the creations of the
Republican party. They are endeavor-
ing to carry out the policies which the
representatives of their party outlined
in the year in which they were elected.
Upon them Us articles of faith the party
made its campaign. The fact that the
party won shows that the country sane
toned its promises and favored its can
didates. Part of its pledges have already
been carried out 1t passed tariff which
the president and the party leaders in
House and Senate say is the best measure
in that field which has ever been enact
ed. Mr.. Cannon points out that the
Payne tariff made 554 decreases in duties
from the Dingley law, made 220 increas-
es, and left 1850 items on the dutiable
list unchanged This is sufficient an
swer to the old charge that the revision
which the Payne act brought was up
ward revision. The articles on which
duties were reduced represent five times
as much commodities, in market value,
as those on which the duties were in
creased. If, as some Democrats say
tariff reduction always brings benefit to
the consumer, the consumer ought to
applaud the work of the Republicans in
the extra session. Steps have been taken
toward carrying out several of the other
promises. Most of them, it is probable
will be carried out before this Congress
steps down. To q much larger degree
than some persons suppose, the prosperi-
ty as well as the prest ige of the country
depends on the maintenance of Republi-
can ascendancy. By the continuance of
the revolt in the party this ascendancy
could be menaced. In the enunciation
of Republican policy the voice of the
majority must be decisive This is q
principle on which government by party
rests, and government by party prevails
in all countries, monarchical us well as
republican, which have representative
institutions.

DRUG HABITS FORMED
UNDER PROHIBITION

AL every session OF the Iowa legis.
lature bills are considered for curling
the sale OF drugs, especially those
drugs which are much used by the vic.
tlms OF opium, cocaine and similar
stuff While there is much need of
such legislation in Iowa, 1t Is found
that in distinctly prohibition states
the demand is still greater: and the
fact Is that the demand in Iowa comes
almost entirely from those sections of
the state where an effort Is made to
stop drinking by closing the public
and avowed drinking places.
Some years ago careful investiga.
ton was made in Vermont of the con.
sumption OF narcotic drugs in that
state, and of medicines IN which such
drugs enter as cor stituents. II was
found That immense quantities of NOR.
phine are sold regularly In the drug
stores and that the consumption was
on the increase. A similar inyestiga.
ton in Mississippi disclosed that the
use of these dangerous drugs as slim.
ulants was on the increase. II was
shown by figures that could not be
disputed that in the strictly prohibi.
ton communities the use of such
drugs was much more common than
where the drinking was permitted In
licensed places and under strict reg
ulation.
The fact is that where an effort Is
made to prevent the use of drinks in
any form there is constant tendency
to resort to surreptitious methods OF
securing the same and consequent
lack of regulation. The poorer grades
of stuff are sold and the liquor Is fire.
quently doctored with the drugs to
satisfy the desires of the purchasers.
In short time drug habits are formed
and the drug stores sell great quaint.
ties of stuff that is injurious to health
and morals.
The demand for legislation to pre-
vent the sale of narcotics and similar
drugs represents very largely the re.
suit of Intellectual attempts to put a
stop to the use of all stimulants.

AMERICAN CHAMPAGNE.

New York Commercial: Word
comes from the department of Marine,
in France, that the champagne produc.
tion of the district this year will be
only about 100000 bottles, whereas
the average output Is somewhere
around 45,0O0,00O bottles; the mildew
has practically ruined this years crop
OF the grapes from which the Marne
and the Aisne champagnes are made.
This, however, need not mean an i'm.
mediate increase in the price Of cham
payne, the worlds thirsty are assured
for the average sale is 100000 bot
ties and the surplus stock still g.
the cellars is 112,000,000 bottles. Blu
it will not take long for the price to
begin to advance in anticipation OF
the time when only 100000 bother
of the 1908 vintage, instead Of the
usually 45,000,000, will be ready for
the market. The United States has Of
late been importing somewhere around
100000 bottles Of champagne an
nually--not all of 1t from France, OF
course-while our yearly consumption
OF foreign wines of all sorts is In the
neighborhood of 100000 gallons. or
32,O00,000 quart-bottles of the stuff;
meantime we pour down our throats
annually about 125,000000 quarts OF
domestic wines of all sorts, the home
consumption of the latter having
about doubled since 1894, while the
American consumption OF foreign
wines of all classes has decreased
about one-half in the past thirteen
years. II we keep on at this rate-de.
creasing the consumption OF foreign
wines and increasing the consumption
Of the domestic brands-and at the
same time keep on improving the quail
ity of our American wines as we have
been doing for dozen years or so,
and especially the quality OF our
American champagnes, We shall soon
be practically independent OF France
and other foreign countries for high
class wines and can snap our fingers
at the grape growers of the depart
ment of Marine. And the old song of
Champagne Charley" will have to be
rewritten In several important partic-
ulars.

The Big Hotel at Colfax

Col. Donahue erected an immense
hotel at Colfax last summer at cost of
$780, 900 but it was not ready for the
summer business. Since he opened in
September his loss has averaged $3.50. 53
per day, but he expects to cut even by
the end of the year In January at a
time when he had but three guests in
the house, he refused to dismiss the or
chestra which played Mt noontime and
evening, although his receipts were not
enough to pay for the music. 1t takes
money and nerve to run business like
that, but he will stick to it and make q
fortune.
