Governor CARROTS Medication.

Burlington Hawk-Eye The Hawk
Eye congratulates Governor Carroll
and the state of Iowa on the very just
verdict returned by the jury in the
suit brought by John Cownie against
the governor for alleged criminal libel.
The case is one of the regrettable
phases of political campaign against
regular Republicans in Iowa. 1t was
a most unjust one. as Is made clear
by the instructions of the presiding
, Judge, which pointed out that the
chief executive was in duty bound to
do the thing he did, and was privileg-
ed to make the statements on account
of which the suit was brought against
him.
Governor Carroll is a man who
stands high in public estimation, a
man of clean record and strong and
! upright character, one whose capabil
ity In Office has been most thoroughly
! demonstrated, and who Is worthy the
respect and friendship and loyalty OF
] every Iowa citizen for what he has
done for the state in his various Off
cial capacities.
At no time was there very serious
| question as to the outcome OF the
case against Carroll, and there Is every
reason to rejoice that SO creditable {

The CARE OF EpiLepTIcs.

In a recent address before the
superintendent of the state institu-
tons and members of the state board
OF control DR.. G. f. Apologize, super
intendent Of Mt Pleasant state hos
pttal, disclosed the fact that there are
1000 epileptics in Iowa or one for
every 500 inhabitants. twenty per
cent Of whom have committed crimes
He secured his figures from state in
stitutions and 900 doctors throughout
the state. He urged the establish
nent OF special epileptic colony for
treatment of these unfortunates to
make life easier for them, to protect
society and to protect posterity. He
said there Is an inclination among
epileptlcs to marry as they grow
older and many children are brought
into the world that are either mental
or moral perverts. He suggested
Iowa marriage laws should also be
amended preventing marriage Of the
epileptic, the insane and the feeble
minded.

kEnnEDy's WINNING CAMPAIGN.

NENNEOYS WINNING CAMPaIGN.
Hon. c. A. Kennedy's campaign for
reelection to congress is progressing
/ steadily and surely and will ultimately
! be crowned with one of the largest ma
/ jorities ever given First district Re
/ publican candidate. There are many
reasons for this, all of them good ones.
| Some of the more important of them
are briefly summarized in the latest
issue of Hon. j w. Murphy's paper,
the Burlington Saturday Evening Post.
In its characteristic lucid and convinc-
ing style the Post says:
The First congressional district
will re-elect Charles A. Kennedy to
represent it in congress. indications
are that he will receive the largest
vote yet accorded him. His endorse
ment will be emphatic and oyerwhelm-
ing. There are reasons for things in
politics just as there are in other fea-
lures of life, and there is a very good
reason for the strength among the
voters of the district possessed by
Mr.. Kennedy The voters recognize
in him member who is devoted to
their best interests. He serves his
constituents all of the time, and con-
sequently it can be said that his cam
paign is in progress all the time. Con-
gresham Kennedy knows every voter
in his district and at one time or an
other has been useful to each one
down at Washington He is not Civ
en- to oratory, has not consecrated
himself TO the task of saving the coun-
try, but just in common place way
has been and is a remarkably useful
man. The district has been fortunate
in its choice of representative and
the more 1t sees OF Mr. Kennedy the
more firmly is it confirmed in It's
determination to extend without date
his service of usefulness in the ma
tons capital
Every word of the foregoing is true
and to the point The First district
never had representative in congress
who was closer to the people than Mr.
Kennedy or one who was more de-
voted to their interests. He knows
and Is known to almost every voter
in the district irrespective OF party,
and he has made it his business to
confer with many of them personally
with view of learning their views
and desires and serving them in every
way open to him. In one way or an
other all have profited by his stew
ardship His reelection by an over
whelming majority will be fitting rec
ignition of his fine personal character
and invaluable services.

FULFiLLM E Mt.

FULFiLLMENT.
No, no, the falling blossom is nc
sign
OF loveliness destroyed and sorrow
mute;
The blossom sheds its loveliness di
vine;
Its mission to prophesy the fruit
Nor is the day of love forever dead,
When young enchantment and ro-
nance are gone;
The veil is drawn, but all the future
dread
Is lightened by the finger of the
dawn
Love moves with life along a darker
way,
They cast shadow and they call
it death;
But rich is the fulfillment of their
day;
The purer passion and the firmer
faith.

The next thing in order is the cleo

"Goodby, Colonel"

Des Moines News, insurgent: 1t
won't work
The progressive sentiment that has
stirred men of all parties in all parts
of the country cannot be chained to
any party chariot. Not by Theodore
Roosevelt nor anybody else.
Roosevelt is not the prophet nor the
leader of progress. He has no monop-
oily on it.
Roosevelt has had New York state
put an O. K on the tariff bill
He has commended Taft, the polit.
zeal assassin of Pinchot and all that
Pinchot stands for.
He indorses Taft's conduct in using
the patronage club against La Toilette
and Cummins and Poindexter and
Bristow and the other real insurg ents
He indorses the lawyer cabinet,
Ballinger and all.
He tries to obscure all this treach-
cry with glittering generalities about
/ "graft-hunting,' but the people will
I feel safer in graft hunting when they
/ have fewer Lurtons on the supreme
i bench, and fewer oscar LAWYERS in the
department of Justice.
Taft, too, just now, declared that
1 he is for insurgency-but Murray
Crane and Wickersham and Hitchcock
sit at his table.
Roosevelt selects as his permanent
chairman Elihu Root, who is the in
! carnation of the doctrine of dollar!
in politics
I Roosevelt, bringing with him Taft
Ballinger, Wickersham, Root, ]. P
Morgan, Tawney, Lurton, Hitchcock
and all the motley crew of plutocrat!
and Hessians of privilege, cannot en-
list in the army of insurgency.
4 1t would have been as sensible /
James Buchanan with JEFF Davis AM
his outfit had tried to get into tn
councils of Abraham Lincoln.
insurgency got along pretty vel
while Roosevelt was in Africa.
He cannot swallow up the insurgen
movement, and insurgency will no
swallow him with his Endorsement 0
!. the tariff bill, of the President, an
. with his Roots and Griscoms.
There can be no stop to insurgenc
in either the Republican or Demo
cratic parties, and no harm can com
to the movement unless undesirabl
and eleventh hour recruits are pei
mitted to fog It's councils and perver
its aims.
Taft isn't welcome as a recruit an
: Roosevelt's room is far preferable t
his company.
