coat for the election of Republican
house then everything will be all
right. Otherwise but they do not
permit themselves to be drawn into
that phase of it.
President Taft Is expected to do
much for the Republican congression-
al ticket. He is expected to make nu-
merous speeches. Already the presi-
dent has written letters in aid of some
of the Republican candidates who are
in difficulty.
The National League of Republican
clubs is an organization from which
some assistance is looked for John
Hays Hammond Is the head of this.
The Republican congressional commit
tee has received letters from this
league saying a big convention will
be held by 1t in June in New York
and urging that Republican members
of the house do their utmost to bring
about the organization of local clubs
and the sending of delegates to the
national convention.
The Republican congressional COM
m1ttse will nDi Est out it's literature,
except speeches, until the session
ends and Il % known Just what legis-
lation has bsen passed. Then. the
committee viii take stock Of the laws
which have gene through and proceed
to get up the campaign textbook and
other literature. The voters will be
told about the railroad legislation
which has been passed. about the
achievements of ths administration,
and about the tariff law. Chief en-
phssis is going to be laid on the tariff.

put up the best defense Of the law

The Democrats are going before the
country mainly on the tariff, on the
charge that the Dominant forces in
the Republican party are allied with
the great special interests. On the
charge Of extravaganza. and on the
house rules question. The cost Of
living will he hammered on to the ut

two years ago, by John G. Eversman,
secretary to Chairman Mckinley Of
the congressional committee. Mr..
Mckinley will keep in touch with both

Answering the statement of one Of
the attorneys for the defense in the
Browne bribery hearing in Chicago
that it is not illegal to buy senatorial
votes in Illinois, the states attorney
declared that If such were the case the
roll call in the legislature should be
dispensed with and instead the clerk
should read the price list of legislators
in future senatorial elections. Recent
disclosures in Illinois give color to the
belief that there has been need of a
price list in the past. For instance,
we read in the confession of Repre-
sentative White that he was paid
$1,000 to vote for Senator Lorimer
and received" $500 as his share of the
Ajack pot" distributed at the close of
the session. senator Holtslaw, how
ever, confessed that he received $4,000
for his vote for Lorimer, but only $500
from the lack pot" Representative
White and Senator Holtslaw have not
been interviewed, 50 their thoughts

cannot be reopened for two or three
years. Then, we ask, why should we
keep the subject stirred up? Do they
want to affect the amount of money
deposited In banks? Do they want to
increase the rate Of interest? Do they
want to fix 1t SO man cannot borrow
the necessary money with which to
carry on his business? Do they want
to demoralize prices Of stocks, bonds
and all the various kinds OF secur-
tiles? Do they want to depreciate real
estate? What purpose have the men IN
mind who are agitating the tariffe Do
they propose to keep this up for three
years? This country cannot stand
three years debate on the tariff. We
should like to corner the politician
long enough to ask him whether ne
thinks he can add to the prosperity OF
Iowa or any part of the country by
keeping the minds Of the people ON
politics instead of business? Insur-
gency is getting to be as dangerous to
the business interests Of the country
as was old-fashioned populism when
adopted and taken up by Bryan. A
considerable number of men are
thinking seriously along these lines.
They are wondering if they are under
sufficient obligation to our two Iowa
senators to justify following them IN
a course which would bring on bust
ness disaster. Our senators are not
engaged in business. They receive
$500 per year, Neither one is up for
election this year. They are running
less risk than the business man or
manufacturer. They are running much
less risk than the farmer.
The Republican primary will be
held June 7th. A snubbing of the ma
tional administration and the endors-
ing of insurgency would mean dull
business.
Can we afford it?
The politician can afford 1t. He is in
the limelight. He has something to talk
about. He has an issue; also salary.
The next reform of the tariff will
hit the farmer and the farmer is the
man woo ought to be wide-awake at
the present time. The city man on the
seventh of .I:lne will vote for lower
prices for bee'. pork. butter. eggs, etc.

When Evelyn Lane refused to marry
him. Dan Kennett quietly pulled up
stakes Ind got as far from New York
as his limited supply OF moVy would
take him. That is how he happened TO
be in charge Of the survey OF the gov
eminent tract near Horse LICK
Springs, Mont.
He had worked off the first bitter
sting Of disappointment. but there
still remained the heartache and the
growing conviction that there never
could be another girl in the world for
him.
In May the surveying party was
within astone's throw of the rail-
road whose shining rails flashed from
east to west across the fiat, gray
prairie. Each day st noon the steel
rails auivered under the thunder
ing burden Of the express train be-
hind whose plate glass windows there
was a fleeting glimpse of faces before
the train became mere 3pecl' in the
distance again.
Dan Kennett had learned to long
for its coming: there was always the
possibility foolish and vain one,
indeed-that some day it might come
flying out of the east bearing the girl
he loved, to some other destination;
his dreams were always that he might
catch glance of her eye or see her
face-iust once And vet it never
had happened; but there was always
the hope!
All things are probable, when one
Is thousands of miles from home and
surrounded by fiat stretches of gray
prairie. But several weeks ago he had
read in the society columns of a Sun
day paper a paragraph about Evelyn
Lane. She was preparing to go to Cal
ifornia to be gone year among
friends.
So Kenneth had watched the trains
now with some real hope that he
might see her passing, and he had
calculated to a pitiful nicely the
chances that she might, after all, have
chair on the opposite side of the
train!
Today was hot and close; the sun
shone mercilessly down on the little
camp; the sagebrush cracked crisply
under foot and a great and undying
thirst seized the whole crew.

vLaDUcT AT IOWA AVENUE.

Editor Courier:
would like to say few words IN
regard to the recent tragedy at Iowa
avenue railroad crossing in which two
women were the victims. This makes
three persons who have lost their
lives at this crossing, with innumer-
able narrow escapes CT others, two OF
them being farmers that had their
wagons demolished and barely escap-
ed with their lives. In view of the
great number of people crossing the
tracks at this point and also the great
danger of the children going to ana
from school | think it would not be
asking too much of the Burlington and
Rock Island roads to erect a viaduct
at this point. A fagman is kept there
in daytime and even then he is not
able to avert accidents on account OF
SO many tracks and in justice to the
people that risk their lives there |
think it should be remedied lmmed-

on this question can only be surmjsed.
The states attorneys contention, how
ever, should appeal to them, for. In the
absence tf market quotations for
boodlers one of them confesses that
while he gained $1,000 on the other for
his senatorial vote, he lost 5000 OF his
share of the "jack pot" divvy. The
legislators must now place this in the
list of their lost opportunities, how
ever, as there Is certain to be good
house cleaning in Illinois, and in the
future the boodler in Illinois will be
placed in the extra hazardous CLASH

THE HALF EMPTY DINNER PAIL
AND THE MEAT TARIFF.


The Worlds Work publishes the
following in it's current issue under
the caption, '"The Half-Empty Dinner
Pail and the Meat Tariff:
Not long ago the guests of several
New York hotels saw on the Dill OF
fare in large black letters the words:
Australian mutton" and the New
York papers announced that 891 frozen
mutton carcasses had been brought
here. Men in Caracas, Venezuela, are
planning to follow the lead OF the
Australians and send us beef, which
they claim they can sell below current
prices here. In a word, the price OF
meat in this meat-producing country
is as high as it is anywhere in the CIV
ilized world, and from six to ten cents
higher per pound than 1t is in Lon
don, which is supplied from Argen-
tina, Australia and America
We have tried all sorts of legal and
other artificial experiments to reduce
the price of mee/. without success;
but we haven't yet tried the direct and
obvious method of removing the tariff.
The Payne law provides a 271s per
cent duty upon all cattle worth more
than S14 q head that are imported into
this COUNTRY, and $3.50 head upon
hogs and sheep more than a year old.
Fresh meat may come in with a tax of
~ cents pound, but meat pre-
pared or preserved Except bacon and
hams) is charged Is per cent ad valor-
en- Bacon and hams are taxed four:
cents pound.
II we remove these duties upon one
of the first necessities of life we shan
at least give the South Americans and,
the Australians an opportunity to iced
us cheaply, an opportunity that they
seem disposed to take.
The tariff vas long credited With
filling the dlkn0.pail. The dinnespG1

THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. MATCH.

In many parts of the country minis.
ters' associations are passing resolu-
tons condemning the Jeffries-J ohnson
boxing match that is to be held IN
California the Fourth Of July. lndivld-
ually and collectively many people are
asking the authorities to prevent the
contest Some claim that it Is I'M
moral and tends to lower the standard
of citizenship. One set OF resolutions
state that it is dissertation or our
national holiday, and that the reports
from it will dominate to large de-
gree the interest in that one day, and
that nothing should be allowed to take
place on that date that will take at
tention away from the original pur-
pose of the act making the Fourth OF
July a national holiday.
It is not the intent of this article to
condemn or defend boxing matches. 1t
is simply to call attention to the
amount of interest that Is attracted by
the announcement that two well
known boxers are to contest Tor the
championship in their line.
1t will be hard to submit any
stronger evidence of the hold that
boxing has on the people, than the

PIONEER OF l86SI
 COMES FROM HILLS

PHOENIX, Arizona. March 24.-
 N s. Graves. aged S3. presented himself at the office of the sheriff yesterday, saying that he had been recommended to go there and ask for assistance in getting to Yuma. The old man said that he will be S3 today and that he has been continuously in the territory ever since the first year of the administration of Governor Mccormick, who was appointed secrc- tary of the territory in 1863 and be. came governor three years later. Graves said that he was an intimate friend of the governor.
 The old man Is fairly well dressed and looks. with his neat linen collar and black suit, somewhat worn and rusty, more like a superannuated min ister of the gospel than Drospector. He is the owner of @ homestead a few miles below. Yuma He was com pelled to leave it three years ago on account of the drouth. but is anxious to get back there now since there will be plenty of water soon.
 When he left the homestead. he went into the northern part of the territory to prospect. and has been fin the hills almost continuously since. He nas formed no recent ac- quaintances. The men he knows are survivors of the time of Governor

Mccormick. and there are not many of them.
 He walked from Prescott to Con gress Junction. where a man gave him money to pay his fare to Phoe- nix and directed him to apply here for further aid toward his destina- ton. He said that this was the first 1 time he had ever asked for assistance. and he would not have done so but for the advice that has been gwen him. Graves said he could work neal ly as well as ever but he cannot stand the long walking that he used to en dure.
 The board found itself embarrassed by an agreement which it had made with the Yuma county board under which neither could afford aid to in digents 10 enter the jurisdiction of the other. While Graves did not appear before the board in the light of an or dinary indigent. the fact that he would receive aid would make him one.
 But in view of the fact that he did not expect to become a charge upon Yuma county. it was thought that an arrangement could be made outside of an official action of the board that would enable him to reach his dest.- nation.
 Graves said that he had two valu- able mining claims in Yavapai county.
