OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,

take nourishment when desired, and, If
the. bulletins his surgeons are issuing
disguise nothing, his condition is favor
able toward ultimate recovery. The
danger of blood poisoning is not yet
passed, however, nor is the possibility
that an artery or a blood vessel has
been scraped by the bullet.
There were reports that the mayors
temperature had increased slightly
during the afternoon, but no bulletins
to this effect were issued.
One of the most cheerful statements
came from the mayors son, Rufus,
who said:
Barring accident, Mayor Gaynor's
recovery is practically assured"
Concerning an operation, Mr.. Adam
son, the mayors secretary, took the
same view heretofore expressed by
the physicians.
"They won't operate unless it is alb
solutely necessary" he said.
The first words uttered by James J.
Gallagher. the mayors assailant, when
he woke in his cell in Jersey City yes

''He is said to be getting along nice

went on:

Senator Cummins in his speech de-
livered before the republican convent
ion, after declaring that the republican
part must speedily become all pro-
gressive or all standpat," appeals to
republicans to vote for every republican
on his ticket, regardless of whether or
not the candidate be progressive or a
standpatter; and following he outlines
the numerous open populations of
pledges made to the people by the par
ty by the republican majority in con-
gress. In other words, no matter if the
republican party has broken faith with
the people, party solidarity" must be
maintained. This is the plea that is
generally to be heard by the ward
politician, and it is Surprising that Sen
ator Cummins would voice it at this
time, and the only possible excuse that
can be offered for his doing SO is that
his intense craftsmanship has crept from
under cover and buried beneath it true
patriotism; also it may be the senator

COLUMBUS POLICEMEN MuT|AY

Ed TO STOP RIOTERS.
Mayor Marshall Says Mutlneers Win
Be Discharged At Once for
Disobeylng.

Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 10. = Thirty
five members of the Columbus police
force rebelled when called upon to
board street cars in an effort to catch
rioters. The mutineers, Mayor Mar
shall announces, will be discharged
at once
Included in the IS who refused to
board the cars are some of the Oldest
and best known men on the force.
Until now Mayor Marshall had
withstood pressure brought to bear
by officials 70 the railway company to
put policemen on cars. City officials
and members of the chamber of COM
merce joined in urging the mayor to
take this step, and he consented, al
though he did not favor the plan.
Within few hours his change of pol
icy became known to the police and
there was widespread dissatisfaction.
One policeman took off his coat and
asked the mayor to don it and then
board car.
AS reasons for their rebellion the
police did not advance fear. Some
said they had been warned by grocers
and butchers that if they rode on cars
they would be refused provisions. The
mayor said later that he had enough
men to guard the cars.

Protectionism and insurgency.

If the republicans of Iowa are as
firmly convinced of the ncontrovertible
soundness and wisdom of Protection as
their platform declares them to be,
they are hot upon the highway toward
shocking establishment. For in the
same platform they point to "the diff
ference between the cost Of producing
dutiable commodities at home and
abroad" as the one important fact to
be known, and therefore favor the
creation of non-partisan commission
to ascertain that difference and publish
the facts. Let this be honestly and
efficiently done, and all apparent need
for Protection to maintain american
wages" the only consideration in sup
port of Protection that has any value
outside the the directors rooms of tar
ff-sheltered trusts and the confidential
intercourse of domineering Standpat
leaders, will vanish.
The difference in the cost of produc-
ton in this country and abroad once
generally known to the American
people, it will be obvious to every
voter, though wayfaring fool, that
the cost of production is lower in the
United States than anywhere else IN
the world. The reason is that wages
of labor are higher everywhere else
than here. The notion that American
wages are relatively high, rests upon
ludicrously illogical method of COM
parison. Look at comparative wage
statistics in any or all Protection liter
allure, and you will find that the time
consumed in production, and never the
resulting product, is the basis OF COM
parison. Because labor abroad gets,
say, dollar day, whereas American
labor in the same industry gets, say,
two dollars, the conclusion is implied
and often asserted, that American in
dustries cannot pay American wages
unless competing foreign products are
burdened with tariff high enough to
make up for the lower wages abroad.
This is like saying that freight car
can t. compete with wheelbarrow be-
cause it costs so much more. The COM
parative PRoDuCTIvENEss of American
and foreign labor. the determining fac
tor, is ignored. If American labor at
two dollars day produces, say, twice
as much in day as labor abroad at
one dollar day, why is Protection
necessary to maintain American wages?
That is the question Protectionists
will have to answer to a long befooled
people, when the Insurgents shall have
made common knowledge Of the differ
ence between cost of production abroad
and at home, which is one Of our reas-
ons for liking the Insurgent in spite OF
their fatuous confidence in the sound
ness and wisdom of Protection. We
suspect that it is one of the reasons
why they are not liked by Aldrich and
other shrewd benefciaries of Protect
ion. The Public.

Health Of the People.

In the past it has quite easy to Sc
cure appropriation of state money for
the purpose of caring for the health OF
domestic:animals. The state of Iowa
Is en9aeeaeirs.xaxya-E.xpassixc--~s Sarl.- to
furnish serum free to farmers with a
view to saving their herds of swine
from the plague. But if child has
diphtheria the state has no provision
for any antitoxin to preserve its life.
This situation fairly illustrates an
unfortunate attitude of the people to-
ward themselves. Human life is re-
regarded as purely personal matter
for each one to look after or to neglect
as he sees fit.
There is no denying the fact that the
state as whole has very great in
terest in the public health. Human
lives are worth great deal more to
the community than the lives Of other
beings. And it is also true that the
state has done entirely too little In the
way OF safeguarding the pubic health.
There has been great reluctance on the
part Of the legislature in giving health
authorities proper support. Quaran-
tine laws have been weakened because
of fear of the expense. Health boards
are left helpless because it will cost
something to safeguard the public.
The full responsibility for the con-
dition of affairs rests with the people.
They will have things pretty much as
they want them.
But it will do no good to attempt to
conceal plain facts. If health condit-
ions are not as good as they ought to
be the light of publicity should shine
freely.-Des Moines News.

HERE'S A GOOD CHILD STORY
One Which Comes From the Family Of
Boston Educator and Has
Unusual Originality.

Perhaps the most startling child
story extant. however, comes from the
family of famous Boston educator.
whose children all are distinguished
by an unusual degree of originality.
Several boys and girls Of various ages
have been adopted into this family, SO
the sudden appearance OF new and
well-grown associates seems to the
younger members quite natural. This
rather unusual attitude toward family
growth worked out oddly year or
two ago. upon the occasion OF the
Christmas play. which the little ones
annually write, rehearse and produce,
quite without adult assistance. for
their parents.
The plot Of the play included the

Teaching Correct Speech.

A woman of culture and travel has
made glorious success teaching cor
rect speech. 1t is surprising how
much incorrect speech there is among
our educated people. They cling to
provincialisms, incorrect pronuncia-
lions, wrong use of words, and un-
musical intonations. The southerner
holds to the soft, r-less utterance of
his NANNY" days; the middle west
erner flattens his vowels: the Boston
ian throws his RS completely out of
joint This woman undertook to cor
rect such errors and teach pure.
perfect English speech to few young
women. She became so successful
that she was compelled to start a
school of correct English which has
grown to great proportions. This par
ticularly promising field Is open In
every town in America.-The Delinea-

Referring to the republican state
ticket in his convention speech Sena-
tor Cummins said:
81 reiterate what have always said
IN every campaign during the stormy
decade in which have been in public
office. We will fight with all the
strength that is in us before the nomi-
nations are made, but when they are
made in the appointed way we will
stand shoulder to shoulder for republic
can candidates, and in this spirit l
appeal to every republican in the state
to give his vote on the. ticket, whether
national or state"
The Cedar Rapids Republican in
quires why Cummins and Doliver
didn't apply that rule of abiding by
the decision ::of the majority to the
tariff bill and other bills. The tariff
had been agreed to and voted upon and
sent to conference. Reported out, it
was party measure, by all the rules
of procedure, and of the same stand
ing as party platform or party
platform or party nomination, and
support of it binding upon all loyal re-
publicans. Pickett, taking that view,
voted for the bill after it came from
conference and was put on final pas
sage.
The republican also recalls the fact
that Cummins in his primary campaign
speeches charged that certain republic
can candidates had been untrue to the
people. Yet the candidates nominated,
Cummins supports them. 'Is that
high politics to charge man with be-
ing thief and then voting for thief
because he has been nominated" asks
the Republican. Isn't it all just poll
tics, bent and twisted, dishonest and
insincere. all part of the game, and

ter, they are hypocritical. = Telegraph

The Inconsistent Roosevelt

J.. Welliver in Hampton's Maya.
zine:
Roosevelt cannot brook competition
in the business of reforming. Take the
case of LaFollette. Roosevelt and La
Toilette seemed to be fighting for the
same general ends. But LaFollette
was always opposed by Roosevelt. The
LaFollette delegation to the republl-
can national convention of 1904 was
thrown out of the convention. The
patronage and countenance of the ma
tional administration We're given With
out stint to Spooner and the "stai'
warts in their fight to kill Off La
Toilette. Every sympathy OF Roose-
velt was manifestly with the antl-La-
Toilette wing.
In Iowa, likewise, during the long,
heart-breaking struggle which Cum
minis led for the destruction Of the
railroad political oligarchy., Roosevelt
was always counted against Cummlns
and for the oligarchy.
In Illinois, when the better elements
were making determined fight to un'
horse Senator Hopkins, Roosevelt
made Hopkisn chairman of the com
mittee on resolutions of the 1908 ma
tional convention, giving him an IN
dorsement that resulted in Hopkins
CARRYING the primaries the un-
speakable Lorimer becoming senator!
In Kansas, when Long, rank cor
poration senator, was fighting for a
denomination, Roosevelt's infence was
thrown to him as against Bnstow.
In Oklahoma, Roosevelt was the
leader of opposition to a state consti-
tuition which intelligent publicists have
widely accepted as the latest and most
emphatic word for progress in consti-
tuition making.
In Pennsylvania, the exposure OF the
state capitol graft having endangered
republican control of the state, Roose-
welt spoke ia favor of party regularity
at time when every other leader OF
reform sincerely believed republican
defeat would be magnificent achieve
ment for the cause Of progress.
In Massachusetts, Roosevelt has al
ways and uniformly been the friend
and supporter of Heny Cabot Lodge,
who is all absolutely dependable tory
To such men as Joseph G. Cannon,
James E. Watson and other leaders OF
toryism in congress, Roosevelt wrote
letters which, published at the height
of crucial political campaigns, served
as endorsement of the reactionaries to
whom they were addressed.
In Cleveland, Roosevelt practically
commanded Theodore E. Burton to ac-
cept the republican candidacy for may
aaDsgasfsst Tom {ss65caiiisof1, header oi
the remarkable reform and humani-
tartan movement in that city. Burton
had the support Of the municipal mon
opolists, the regular republicans and
Roosevelt! And yet Johnson received
nearly 10000 majority Of the vote.
In such cases as these is summarized
the whole case against Roosevelt lead
ership the reformers. He is for re-
form, but too often against the reform
ers. He would try to club reform out
of Payne and Aldrich and Cannon, and
he has shown disposition too often tc
snub the life .out of LaFollette and
Cummins and Tom Johnson and others
of their kind.
