ana ne argued at length that the banks
oaloht % ~ relieved Of The bonds, and
he plainly intimated that with the ma
tional bonds taken care OF congress
would then be free to create the central
oank. Senator Aldrdch has up his
sleeve. It Is evident, therefore, that
every senator who voted for the Boral1
amendment was taking slap at the
president.
The Washington correspondent OF the
New York Sun gives the accepted
view:
Whatever explanation the republican
leaders may make of the situation, the
fact remains, nevertheless, that the
senate, in accepting the Borah amend
| ment, voted against proposition
! which President Taft has strongly adj
vocated, at least on two occasions. in
public addresses.
In milwaukee, when he was on his
long trip thru the west last fall, the
president characterized as a "b,nlko
game" the part that the government
took in forcing this $500, 100000 Of 2
per cent bonds upon the national banks.
ut is necessary" he said then, that
in any legislation that comes along we
should take care of that issue Of 2 per
cent bonds"
Again, in his recent speech in New
York City. the president said:
I'VE have now about 800 ,O00 600 Of 2
per cent bonds with respect to which
we owe a duty to the owners to see
that those bonds may be taken care of
without reduction below the par value
thereof, because they were forced upon
national banks at this low rate in order
that the banks might have a basis of
circulation. This implied obligation of
the government the postal savings
bank funds would easily enable it to
meet
There is no reason for getting mad
at the progressive senators and de-
claring that they are attempting to
discredit his legislative program. The
fact is, the reactionaries are the enc
mics Of the president. they have per-
suaded him to stand for bad bills, and
then when he has comnitte himself
they get from under on the slightest
provocation-

A LOST ARTe

IWaVerlV independent.
Statistics show that there is one
trade that is about to become extinct
and it is that of the horseshoer. No
young men are entering this line Of
business and each year the demand for
horseshoers increases. The union has
thrown down the bars and instead of
restricting the number of apprentices
that shall be employed, is soliciting ap-
plicants to enter the trade. Horse
shoers receive good pay but the work
is hard and dangerous and young men
are seeking admission into other trades.

The great problem, after all, Is how

things necessary for the adjustment

QUIT PoPPYcocgING.

A few standpat newspapers notably
the Sioux City Journal. are much horri-
\ fed over what they call an attempt to
"discredit Secretary Wilson" and boom
Mr.. Pinchot. Going over the ground
carefully it is hard to find anywhere in
the state any newspaper which is at
tempting the discrediting process or
failing to give Secretary Wilson due
credit and proper loyalty as secretary
of agriculture and an Iowan. The row
raised by the Journal is simply new
breaking out of a standpat chorus
which hopes to discredit others and
make fractional capital by hanging on
the tails of men who are popular alike
in both factions. 1t has been done over
and over again. It hasn't worked we'll.
It isn't working we'll now 1t is also
an attempt to cover Ballinger with the
smoke of Tama Jim's popularity TO
arouse prejudice against Pinchot by
making a personal fight out of the diff
ference between the two men. When
it is all said and done it is no more
than the empty shucks of peanut poll
itics; ward workers plan of the
hour. 1t is infinitely small and when
brought to bear upon an investiga ton
of such vast national importance as
that now in progress over the Alaskan
mineral field and water power conser-
walton grows more diminutive by COM
parison.
Secretary Wilson as witness must
take care of himself. AS secretary
granting privileges to a subordinate he
must take care of himself When two
men of high reputation like Wilson and
Pinchot clash none but those with I'LL
terror purposes to serve will be quick
to call either liar The fact is neither
lied, as is evident. Pinchot wrote more
than Wilson intended him to write,
more than Wilson wished later that he
had written. Mr.. Wilson was angry
and refused to speak to his former
friend and co-worker But how does
any and all Of this "discredit Wilson
or either of the two men.
How can it be to the "discredit" of
Wilson to publish the general talk of
Washington to the effect that the row
might end in wilson's retirement? That
was and is a wide general impression
among those who live and move in the
washington atmosphere Why at
tempt to make molehills into mountains
and scream murder in the dark when
no blow has been struck or even
aimed.
1t would not be astonishing were the
secretary to retire. 1t was we'll known
that Taft had another man in view for
the secretarysllip when he went about
making up his cabinet and that Mr..
Wilson's close friends at Des Moines
and elsewhere feared that he would be
replaced. Had he resigned then or
should he resign now it is hard to see
what 'discredit" would attach to
man who has served longer in the cab
met than any other and with rare sue
cess and high honor.
The esteemed Journal should stop
poppycocking ; cease setting up straw
men in order to kick the stuffng out of
them. That is the copyrighted stunt Of
the Cedar Rapids Republican.

The Cal, Of tho Country Church.

The question OF competition between
town life and country life is to be de-
cided only on a religious basis, thinks
the president of the Massachusetts,
Agricultural College. He notes the fact
that the people Of this country are
stunning the country and crowding
into the city. Thousands Of acres Of
uncultivated land lie on the outskirts
of our great towns. There are barren
and uncultivated farms in every east
ern state. Reviewing all these existing
conditions President Kenyon L But
terfield in his third "Carew lecture"
before the Hartford Theological Sem
mary expresses the belief that the de-
probation OF rural life is largely due
to failure Of the country church and
the country pastors to see Alright their
the Hartford Seminary Record we read
his words;
II hold that the problem OF the conn-
try church is the most important as
pect OF the rural problem. It touches
the highest point in the redirection OF
rural life. It sounds the deepest note
in the harmonizing Of the factors OF y
permanent rural civilization. Il peaks
the most eloquent word in the struggle
to maintain the status of the farming
class. Can the church rise to its OPP
portunities? 2"
The country church has as its main
object the elevation Of ideals among
country pepole, he tells us. Some. pao-
pie leave the country because they
can't realize their ideals in the existe
ing rural atmosphere"

A SPOKESMAN FOR IOWA.
Davenport Democrat

ludFeHpOliL bSulOCIdl.J
It will be a matter of satisfaction
to every Iowan that President w. G.
Brown, Of the New York Central lines,
himself a native Of this state, has
spoken so clearly and strong for us on
a matter that involves the new rela-
lions of the north and south. At the
annual dinner of the Iowa Society Of
New York, President Brown reverted
to the objections, fortunately few in
number, that were recently raised to
the placing of the statue of Robert E.
Lee in statuary hall in the national
capitol. Virginia, it will be recalled,
selected Washington and Lee as the
two illustriouS sons whom she wished
to honor there. Turning to one Of the
southern guests, President Brown paid
his tribute to the $4,000 Iowans who
answered the call of Lincoln at the
beginning of the civil war. In the
name of all these veterans" he said,
Il wish to say that not one of them
would raise his voice to prevent the
placing of General Lees statue iD
statuary hall"
One expects a man like President
Brown to take this broad and healthy
view of things. That he credited Iowa
veterans, and therefore the rest of
Iowans. with the same large vision and
generous impulse as himself, was
equally cnarac tcristic of him. 1t is be-
lieved that he was entirely correct.
With President Brown of the north and
ex-senator Gordon of the south testi-
flying so happily that the war is over.

from the minds of those people who
nave been slow to realize it.

MAD AT THE WRONG PEOPLE.

(Des Moines Register and Leader.]
There is no apparent reason why
the president should blame the insurg-
ents for all his troubles, when on re-
cent occasions the reactionaries have
shown that they give but little heed to
his wishes.
For instance, the Borah amendment
to the postal savings bank bill was ac-
cepted by nearly all of the adrninistra-
ton senators. The Borah amendment
provides that postal bank deposits can
not be invested in government bonds
at less than 2A per cent interest. Its
purpose is to prevent the use of these
funds to take up the outstanding $780,
100000 Of per cent bonds held by the
eastern banks.
But the president said in his recent
speech that taking up these bonds was
one of the main purposes of the bill,

months duration. Mrs. Manning
was a native of New York and was

fifty-three years ago. She came to

was the mother of fifteen children,

Mrs Manning, an old resident, was

sorrow by the whole community
where she resided SO many years and
was so we'll and favorably known.
