road engine. w. c. Elliott who return
ed Saturday was well acquainted with
Mr.. Glass and on Wednesday afternoon
rode with him from Des Moines to Alton
where they separated, Mr.. Glass going
on to Shannon City and Mr.. Elliott to
Creston. The Atlantic News of Friday

Of the accident:
The remains of the late j. K. Glass,
whose accidental death at Shannon City,

accompanied by his son-in-law and
daughter James Mcconnell and wife,

CANNON TRAPS THE INSURGENTS

The Register and Leader says it re
grets to note that the impression prevails
that speaker Cannon again passed the
hot end of the poker to the insurgents
of the house by permitting them to vote
ON restricting the speaker in recognition
of members. The insurgents had expect
ed the speaker to rule and they were
preparing to make an onslaught on his
ruling. But he submitted it to vote on
his own motion and then the insurgents,
many of them, voted for the very rule
they have been most vigorous in denonn-
cling.
The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Transcript says:
This action was so unexpected that
party and fractional lines were forgotten
and the house specifically instructed the
speaker to refuse recognition to mem
bers making such requests of unanimous
consent in the future. The speaker s
friends are today declaring that the
vote demonstrated that the house itself
fayors limiting recognition of members
/ for unanimous consent. The insurgents
were hopelessly divided on the PROPOSE
ton. Representative Norris of Nebras-
ka, one of the insurgents who voted to
have the speaker accord recognition,
said that he was prompted by desire
| tn liberaliZe the rules, but the insurgents
who voted the other way say insurgen'
principles were not at stake.
| The trouble with insurgency in the
house is. says the Register and Leader
that it has never extended to anything
more serious than a few of the rules
and the personal domination of thu
speaker, and that it is not broat
enough basis for the movement.

PARTY HARMONY ESSENTIAL

During the presidential term of four
years, beginning last March. President
Taft is the leader of the Republican
party. AS such leader he has mapped
out certain legislation which is neces-
sary to redeem the pledges made in the
platform adopted by the National Con-
vention. To enact such laws the party
in Congress must follow his leadership.
If any faction prevents such legislation
and disaster follows at the coming cleo
ton that faction will get the blame.
Success will depend upon harmony.
Now watch and see who deserts the
leader to fight with the enemy. AS an
exchange pertinently remarks:
Neither the past record nor the pres
ent leadership of the Republican party
can be changed before the votes go into
the bollot boxes next November. The
Payne tariff act will have to stand as it
is. Aldrich and Cannon will stay where
they are. The only way the Republican
situation can he bettered is with the
record of constructive legislation that
can he made by the present Congress.
The only way that anything can be &C.
complished in this direction is by follow
ing the leadership of President Taft for
the enactment of the popular measures
he is now urging for adoption. Grant,
what seems to be true that lack of har-
mony in the past has led to the present
weakness of the party. Let the question
of responsibility pass for the present, as
there seems to he no possibility of com,
ing to an agreement. Cannot all agree
that harmony in the future is not only
desirable. but absolutely essential? II
they cannot there is no chance of profit
ing by the Missouri moral.
President Taft is not posing as regu
lar or an insurgent. He is acting as {
Republican whose chief interest lies il
maintaining party solidarity. The only
hopeful path to harmony is the one he Il
threading 1t will lead to results tina
should help the standing of the Republi
can party results that will furnish tn
needed ammunition for the coming Con
II greAsional fight. II a working majorit,

licans to sit up for election returns o.

HE WAS RAISED IN
CARROLL COUNTY
And Made His Way Up From Obscu.
rity To A Position OF Political
Leadership In The State.

Leadership In The State.
The following complimentary notice
of Audubon county's candidate for
Attorney General of the State appeared
last week in The Carroll Herald, one of
the leading Republican papers in west
ern Iowa:
Up through hard trials at time of
life when the average boy is pampered
and free and is not the family bread,
winner leads us to likeable sort Of u
man and type which appeals with
unresisted force to the good will of The
Herald, The type looms far above the
average always, and while its represent
tatives in all matters do not always agree
with us or we with them, these differ
ences of opinion on unimportant things
in no way change our admiration for
and desire to help the worthy selfmade
man. We only wish the opportunity
were greater
"A youngman born and bred in Carroll
county Is candidate for Attorney
General of Iowa for nomination at the
June primaries, OF his history The
Herald knows little and of that little
all is to he admired He did not have
the privilege of coming from one of the
conventional first families, but there
was good stuff in him in spite of circum
stances, no matter what they We're,
which left him ut an early age Us the
mainstay and support of his mother and
the little folks of the family. But he
made Roadway in spite of boyhood
labors and difficulties. He educated him
self He made a lawyer out of himself
and good one, retaining through every
vicissitude his elemental manliness and
honesty of character. Marked abilities
and high personal standing made him a
little while ago u member of the State
Senate. where he set his mark upon an
idea that General Grant once framed
into these words: The best way to
repeal an obnoxious law is to enforce
it. The sentiment is one upon which
all unite, and whether it is applied rs
General Grant stated it or is repeated
in another form, or the laws that are to
be enforced are good or bad, the doc
tri 20 is sound. The Senator fathered
the measure in the Legislature to apply
the principle by creating the necessary
machinery, and of this he was later
chosen to he engineer.
I'VE refer to Hon. George Cosson, the
present assistant Attorney General,
whom we hope to see made chief of his
department by grace of the Republicans
of Iowa in due course. Mr.. Cosson is a
Republican. He is an honest man. He
has already made his way through diff.
culties to success. We feel that every
reader of The Herald should help t.
make his success grow upon him.

New Way TO Save Men

A law which makes paupers is public
danger. A community which sends the
fathers to prison. but takes no account
Of the dependent families left behird,
holds low place in American progress
Thinking men and women are trying
to find ways to punish and still provide;
to build up instead Of pulling down: to
give new and fr,ner foundation to
family life among the hayward or the
shiftless or criminal classes. None of
these efforts have been more satisfactory
in its results than the system adopted
in Kansas City, Missouri, q year ago to
work ont the mighty problem ofpoverty
and delinquency. For full discussion

A bashful young man in town was
invited out to dinner. He was very
much agitated. He sat opposite a
mirror and discovered that he had
forgotten to comb his hair. Then he
dropped his fork on the floor and as
he stopped to pick it up he upset his
coffee. Matters went from bad to
worse, until finally in despair the
young man quit eating and put his
hands under the table. The loose end
of the tablecloth was lying in his lap.
When he touched it he turned pale.
He thought it was his shirt and that
he had forgotten to put the garment
in his trousers. He hurriedly stuffed
the supposed shirt inside his trousers.
AfteTward. when the family arose
from the table there was crash. The
dishes lay in a broken mass on the
floor The young man pulled three
feet of tablecloth out of his pants and
few to the woods.

Another Joshua.

It is always a temptation to air
ones special knowledge. a county
judge down in a Southern State, who
was proud of his familiarity with
Scripture. was weak enough to yield
occasionally to this temptation. The
story of one such occasion is told in
the National Magazine.
One day an old negro was brought
in from the mountain district under
suspicion Of maintaining an Illicit
still. There was no real evidence
against him.
What's your name, prisoner"
asked the Judge, as he peered at the
shambing black man.
Nah names Joshua, jedge," was
the reply.
Joshua, eh?" you say? Are you
shat same Joshua spoken of in Holy
Writ-the Joshua who made the sun
stand still?"
NO. jedge," was the hasty answer,

Within the last 10 years the prac-
tice of transmitting compressed gas
from some central station to small
towns has grown rapidly. In Illinois
one plant now supplies nearly 1000
consumers, in Indiana another has as
many, and in California a plant has
eScrt 5000 consumers on its line of
pipes Another plant is now project
ed to supply 5000 consumers, and it Is
estimated that 100 miles of piping will
be required The system has been de-
velOped TO compete with electricity.
The mains used vary from two to six
inches in diameter. When the gas is
delivered the pressure must be re.
duced. and this is effected either by a
local low-pressure distributing system,
or by service governors connected
with each meter.

Steering an Aeroplane.

The driving of motor-car demands
a fair measure of vigilance and nerve,
but by the general consent of those
who have tried both forms of amuse-
ment it is nothing to the steering OF
an eroplane. From the point of view
Of personal daring and initiative, the
newest method of travel finds closer
parallel in the early human feats Of
tanning the horse for riding and learn
ing to sail a boat than in the invention
of the steamship or the railway en-
gine. The prominence of the human
element in the new pursuit comes
naturally out in the concentration of
popular interest even more in the
flying men" than in their machines.
When railways and steamships were
new the absorption of public attention
in them was immense. But the ma
chine then dwarfed the man.

In addition to the chain, which was
strongly padlocked around the neck, a
cruel contrivance resembling coat
of mail. but strengthened by belt of
copper rings, enveloped the body. Both
objects could be removed only by the
use of keys.
The woman told a pitiful tale OF
two years Imprisonment and martyr

chains, she gave birth to her fifth

doctor.
Parat, who was arrested, declared
that he loved his wife, but was ex-
tremely jealous of her.
