THEN AND NOW.

The Review of Reviews, a periodi-
cal of independent proclivities, gives
an excellent review of the practical
workings of the PAYNE tariff law.
Last year the Review was chroni-
cling the complaints from month to
month of the national treasury in the
matter Of current deficits. The net
deficit for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1909, was s58,734.954. Further
more. in the spring of 1909. after
careful calculation by government ex-
perts, the most hopeful program they
could Law out for the fiscal year 1893
1910 showed an estimated shortage OF
s34, 100000. SO there is much graft
fication over the actual figures for
the fiscal year just ended. which give,
instead of the estimated shortage OF
s34 100000, a net surplus of about
SIS 100000. It is interesting to look
at the shifts in the important items OF
the government business, pointed
out by the Review, that are respon.
sible for its being now better off by
s49000,000 than it expected to be.
A chief reason for the handsome
showing of the treasury is the sue
cess OF the Payne tariff as revenue
producer. The total customs receipts
for the year 1910 We're s333,043,S00
the largest sum collected in the his

came within one million dollars of thu
/ figure for 1910. This record-breakinl
i tariff revenue was due to the hug

secretive methods. The Republican
goes on to say:
1T is a sad start for the commits
sion plan in Keokuk, The commission
ers of that city should right about
face. take the public into their conf
dence and let their record in the adj
ministration of city affairs be an
open book. Otherwise both the city
and the commissioners are almost
sure to come to grief.
This is good advice and upon its
acceptance depends the success OF the
commission plan in Keokuk. The
present commission may be SO for
! tunate as to escape undeserved sus-
picion and censure But Keokuk may
not always be as fortunate as 1t was
/ last spring in it's selection of city Of
| ficials. Should any succeeding officials
have it in mind to profit unlawfully
| by concealing their official acts from
+ public knowledge they would be able
to plead precedent for their course.
\ In Justice to themselves, in recognl-
ton of the rights of their constituents
and as a safeguard to the interests OF
/ the municipality in the future the
present commissioners including the
mayor, of course, should promptly
abandon all attempts to keep the pub
7 lie in ignorance of their acts and court
/ the widest publicity. 1t is the on.y
safe and sane policy.

when its membership is released from
all party fealty and urged to align it
self in open, violent and continued OPP
position to a Republican President, to
the Republican majority in congress
and to the Republican national organl-
cation What power has any party to
redeem platform pledges and how
long can any party exist if this heresy
is accepted and persisted in? Under
our American form Of government re-
suits are accomplished only through
the agency of political parties. II
party loyalty is something to be dis
couraged, if yaunted individual indie
pendence' is to take the place Of
party organization and party oblga-
ton representative government must
inevitably end in failure.
Despite the bad advice with which
it was sucfeited and the slreluousnes
of the contests at various stages OF
the proceedings, the convention main
tanned an admirable spirit of good
humor throughout. At no time was
there any lack of courtesy or any ex-
hibition of rancor The proceedings
were along strict parliamentary lines
and the results were accepted with
Christian fortitude and resignation,
as the obituary notices say. The
only unanimous action was the re-
nomination of Judge Evans and Deem
er by reclamation. Aside from this
the nearest approximation to any
thing of the kind occurred when z e
tension was greatest, during the read
ing of the resolutions later adopted
by the convention. When the plank
was read which expresses gratifica-
ton and pride In the operation of the

lars could not restrain their inclina.

THE MATTER OF PUBLICITY.

About the only serious fault to be
found with the new city officials I'M
der the commission plan is their pol
icy of keeping the public in the dark
their transactions. The
mayor, it will be recalled, announced
this policy in his inaugural address,
and it has been persisted in ever
since. A number of papers in the
state entered protest at the time
against such program as mistaken
one and their predictions of disaster
will undoubtedly be verified unless it
is abandoned The Cedar Rapids Re

rate of 1915 per cent, under the Ding
ley tariff, 1882 per cent under the
Mckinley tariff, and 4T.10 per cent
under the Wilson law. The percent
age of merchandise entering free OF
duty under the Payne tariff has been
1914, as compared with 53.0i per
cent under the mckinley law (Which
admitted sugar free), 44.31 per cent
in the Dingley regime, and 1882 per
cent under the Wilson law Aside
from this heavy increase in tariff rev
enue, the most important aid to the
treasury in turning the 1909 deficit
into 1910 surplus came from the new.
corporation tax, which furnished some
thing over 25,00o,000. a figure fairly
close to the original estimate of its
sponsors. The last day for the pay
ment of this tax was July 10, and it
is reported from Washington that
comparatively few corporations were
delinquent on that date. With the
new corporation tax and the enlarged
customs revenue swelling the national
! income, there was further help to-
! ward surplus in remarkable reduc-
ton in expenses resulting from a
/ more efficient management of the
great postal business of the govern
ment The. post Office accounts for
1910 came nearer balancing by nearly
/ s11000,000 than in 1909; that is, the
deficit is cut down by SO much. That
this should be possible with no re
striction of the costly rural free e
livery service and with no increase
of rates to periodicals or to any other
patrons of the post Office, is strik
ing confirmation Of the claim thai
there is great opportunity for saving
money through good business methods
in the postal service.

CUMMINS A CANDIDATE
FOR THE PRESIDENCY
That Is the Secret of the Opposition to Taft at
Convention Platform Was Shaped to
That End

Cedar Rapids Republican,: You
may make up your mind to support
A. b. Cummins for President, two
years from now"
-Four more for Taft? No, that
won't do. Cummins can not wait that
long. He is now sixty-two. He will be
sixty-four two years from now and
eight-that is getting along in years.
The American people do not elect
Presidents of that age. Two years
from now is Cummins last chance
He must get it then, or lose it for
eyer-lose what be has set his heart
on in his service of the people"
Thus spoke man who is we'll
yersed in politics and who knows
what is in the mind of Senator Cum
minis. He said that Cummins was the
real brains of the insurgency. Men
like Bristow of Kansas, and La Fol-
lette of Wisconsin, are not in his in
tellectuaI class. La Toilette is an in
dustrious little fellow with pompa-
dour hair. but he cannot for mo-
ment stand by the side of Cummins
in ability. La Toilette is mere
wasp. while Cumlnins is a man who
leads along higher lines.
This is part OF the story that was
told to the representative OF this
paper in Des Aioines.
Immediately it was pointed out
that all the internal evidences in the
platform adopted are in favor of the
conclusion do you suppose it was
said, that that elaborate platform
was drawn up for the Iowa cam
paign. to elect Gov Carroll and q
few state officers with? 1t has little
or no bearing on Iowa. 1t is, on the

to be national. 1t is elaborate--it j.

convention has adopted a platform

The ,Jimpiecute.

Burlington ..awk-Eye: The only
objection to The Gate City as news
paper which occurs to the Hawx-Fye
is its tendency to delve in the classic
language, as cite the following.
1.-THE sport writer's say that the
Browns are pursued b. Jinx. If they
are not heard Of again it will be UNI
derstood it has overtaken them. There
is only one thing more to be dreaded
than a Jinx, and that of course is a
Jimplecute"
Only the most learned scientists are
familiar with the habits and charac-
teristics of the jimplecute variety Of
the anthropophagi. They are a rare
species. sometimes found in tie
swamps of DomblixstanaIl and occa
sionally at Cohoka. Reference tc
them ought to be accompanied b,
diagram and explanatory notes. The
Gate City is too pedantic in assuming
that it's readers can always compre
bend what it is trying to say.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1910-08-07

1t was shaped by Mr. Cummins him
self When he said that the party
would speedily become either all
regular or all insurgent, he be-
lieved that it would become
all insurgent and that in that
change of mind, he would be the
one logical candidate of the party.
1t is a bold bid that has thus been
made for the presidency. 1t is based
on the theory that Taft must be de-
stroyed The insurgents have no use
for Theodore Roosevelt. unless he
viii become a camp follower. He
must not assume leadership among
them. All this was explained by one
of the press agents for the Cummlns
movement, Jud Welliver.
All that they want 10 use Roose-
Welt for is to have him help destroy
Taft. The insurgents have been flat
tering the ex-President and been try
ing to make him believe that they
are carrying out his policies. they
have insisted on this so much that
they believe the former President,
while not going hack on his protege,
Taft. will at least not stand up for
Taft as he might have done. In 9TH
er words, as one of them said, they
are going TO use Roosevelt to de-
/! stroy the man that Roosevelt made
two years ago. So far, they think
| it is working out fine.
But it is known that Roosevelt
hates and despises Cummins.
| THAT does not make any differ
ence. Cummins will. in time. be
stronger than Roosevelt himself. He
| is nearer the people and he is farth-
! er away from the interests.
Does Cummins want the presi-
dency?
Does he? Does a child want can
dy. or a duck water? 1t is no secret
among his followers, neither are his
] followers going into this fight mildly.
They are going to force the fight all
i along the line, all over the country,
and two years from now Cummins
4 will be such an impending force that
the Republican party will see no one
else in sight and will not dare to dc
. anything but nominate him.
! In this light the platform adopted
Wednesday will become national
document.

VETERAN LAWYER Is
SENTENCED TO TOMBS

New York, Oct. 26.-Colonel Robert
J. HARE has been committed to the
Tombs by Judge Mulqueen In default
of $4,000 bail after his arrest on
charges by the district attorneys Of
fee Of attempted subornation of per-
jury. He has practiced in New York
for forty years. His partner, Harold
W. Tripett, was mentioned by Judge
Mulqueen as being Jointly connected
with the alleged transactions.
Colonel HARE, tall, gray haired, with
white mustache and imperial, stood at
the bar, called the charges p%reposter-
Gus and pleaded with Judge Mulqueen
to parole him until he might obtain
bail. Judge Mulqueen, however, said
that In view Of the seriousness Of the
charges he felt that he could not take
such a course, but allowed Colonel
HARE to depart in the custody of de-
t~ectives for the purpose of securing
bail, in which he was unsuccessful.
The charge against Colonel HARE
comes from John Rogers, now in the
Tombs under Indictment for grand lar
ceny In the second degree, and is sup
plemented by the afidavits of two
other men.
The promise to secure witnesses
though none existed, and the statement
that Judges Rosalsky, O'Sulliyan or
Foster would be favorable to Colonel
HARE for a consideration of 500, were
among the matters specified in the
| various afidavits.
