.SKINNING The CAL"

Governor Carroll had no better luck
with his proposal to turn over the spe-
cial gun license fund TO purposes rather
than OF game and fish protection than
with his good roads scheme. Neither
swept the state. The men who had
maid in the money to create the $780,
600 fund were naturally indignant over
an attempt to divert 1t when it had
been conceived and raised for special
purpose. Noting so much the governor
snnears to have again turned end for
end. The state game warden visited
Des Moines last Saturday and appoint
ed an assistant. He gave out an inter-
view to the effect that he had already
started one game farm and bought
monaghan pheasants and proposed 10
spend the entire sum for the purposes
for which it was paid in. The COVER

hunters. Altogether it was an acrobatic
exhibition peculiarly adapted to the
talents of Governor Carroll whose ex-
pertness at "skinning the cat none
with a turn for observation will deny.
The Times publican has not and is
not greatly in favor of game farms. 1t
believes that the state can never be
made satisfactory hunting ground
for game birds. The covers in some
parts of the state might be filled to
great advantage and produce much
sport. but the prairie lands will never
again be game fields. The propagation
and protection OF game fish Is another
and easier matter. However this $780,
600 Was not raised by general but by
a special tax. 1t originated with the
xunners, was paid by the sunners and

Contrast his political record With that
of Governor Carroll since he has been
in office. He has tried to be friendly to
both standpat and progressive repuhli-
cans. He has tried to convince pro-
gressivs republicans that he IL with
them and at the same time was work.
ing hand In glove with the standpat-
tiers. Governor Carroll today is AZ de-
feated man because OF this attitude.
The standpatters do not like him and
the progressives will have nothing to
do with him. Iowa republicans should
vote for Garst, the man who has good
rich blood in his veins, the man
who is a fighter for the principles he
believes in, the man who will not
toady to gain votes, the man who has
an absolutely clean record as politi-
clan, legislator and a business man.
The issue is a square-cut between the
factions of Iowa republicanism. The
man who believes in Cummins, Dolliver
and other Iowa insurgent congressman
will vote solidly for Garst. The fell
lows who hold fast TO the old order of
things, such as the domination of cor
porations in politics, etc, will vote
for Carroll This is the issue. Where
do you stand, Mr.. Voter?

needs the Hinky Dink order of intel

Aldrich may be the greatest tariff ex-
pert in the country, but his handling of
himself in the last tariff debates show
ed him merely full of the sort OF ex-
pert knowledge which a tool would
have-an immense amount of cooked
up, ex parte information. Often his
failure to answer the arguments of his
opponents would have been ruinous-
if the debate had been addressed to
the intelligence or conscience of the
senate. Time after time Aldrich turned
pale and trembled under the attacks Of
the insurgents; and time after time he
power o1 which he is the tool was never
whipped.
AS in the tariff, SO in his work for
currency revolution, Aldrich is the tool
and not the power. Still Rhode Islands

as 1t does, from the pressure Of public
opinion. makes him the perfect tool. So
he goes forth to win for that power
more power. The thing which will tax
his abidity is getting the votes in spite
Of public opinion, and not the financial
plan-that is easy. All that is necessary
for that is to take the British, French
and German systems, and edit out
Of them their subsection to govern

by the same stroke OF the pen be

currency speculation could accomplish
this in few days.
But getting the votes is different
matter. And in getting the votes Mr..
Aldrich's ability will be exercised, not

He stands in need of no such ability
as must be possessed by senators who
rely on their own powers for their
places. Public opinion has very little
to do with his senatorship. He is re-
turned by the owners of the borough,
that is all. Once, I believe, he was IL
nanced into the senate by a well-known
trust, which found his cause in ex-
trernis, invested in bold Rhode Island
bribery the cash necessary to his sal
walton. and took out Of the transaction
a tariff advance which made them per-
haps a million for every thousand they
put in. This did not require ability on
their part Or on his. It merely required
the co-existence Of disgraceful state,
an ambitious candidate for the senate.
and corrupt and eorrupting trust.
The ability necessary to the transac-
ton could have been furnished by
Hinky Dink or Bathhouse John.
And here is where Aldrich is over
estimated-his low cunning is taken for
commanding intellect Not that he
hasn't ability. but that he has far more
low cunning of the Hinky Dink sort.
In his senatorial career I have never
seen him display any more ability than
any clear thinking member of city
council in town Of $4,000 might be
expected to show. If he wants the vote
of a senator from Louisiana, the button
that leads to the sugar trust is pressed.
If he wants a man from Georgia, the
railway button is pressed. And
| it has taken no great ability to install
this system Of push buttons. The
stupid George LII had almost as GOOD
one to the rotten boroughs OF his
day.

uuired is ruthlessness-which Aldrich

it was told to US is as follows: George

Mr.. Simmons was visiting there that
lady went into the yard, when the sheep
made dive for her, chasing her up
into a wagon. Miss Irene heard her
scream and in hurrying into the yard
was met by the sheep which promptly
charged her. making her take refuge
in tree. Mrs. Simmons. hearing the
noise made by the girls, ran to the
yard, when the animal made a hur-
ried visit to her and compelled her to
seek refuge on the manure spreader. A

DRAKE AND CARROLL.
rodehol+ Cshronicle.1

Governor Drake had friends and
partisans who maintained that he was
entitled to a second term, and the old
man himself protested vigorously when
he was urged to content himself with
two years In the executive chair. But
he was compelled to withdraw by re-
publicans who believed that ne had not
made good; that he had been deficient
in executive and administrative abfl-
ity and had failed to use his onice for
the benefit OF the people; In short,
that he was not the kind Of a governor
the voters OF Iowa wanted. Carroll
wants a second term and, like Drake.
appeals to custom and precedent. But.
like Drake, his administration has been
below the standard fixed by Iowa. His
sins of omission can not be overlook
ed. He has been . do-nothing COVER
nor.
