| In pursuance Of the campaign it has

look at this paragraph copied from the
Smoot paper editorial of Yesterday

AN AWAKENING.

Senator CummtnS announces that he
will present bill at the next session
of congress providing for q national
primary for presidential candidates.
He further states that he will present
second bill to provide for the reg
ulation of national conventions, the
object being to provide that delega-
ties be given states on the basis Of
votes cast and not on the basis Of
congressional representation.
The very evident purpose Of these
proposed reforms is to give the au-
thor chance to run for president.
The Iowa primary having served its
purpose, which was to make Cummins
senator, what would more naturally
present itself to the ambitious mind
than that the same instrument might
land the larger plum. If this was not
the motive, why does not the senator
propose the much more needed reform
that the congressional representa-
ton itself be based on the vote and
not on total population? This is the
real evil, the Overwhelming evil
which would soon do away with south
ern discrimination against the colored
man and would do more than any
thing else to give these downtrodden
people their political rights. Consti-
tutional amendment gives congress
the express power to enforce this re-
form. But as it is not material to
presidential aspirations it is not men
toned in the program of reform. The
national primary is feasible only I'M
der federal law that should embody
all the features of the old so-called
force bill" We are in favor of the
force bill and always have been. To
make primary truly representative
it must be provided that it shall be
under federal supervision and that
any person entitled to vote under
the federal constitution be given full
and free opportunity to cast his vote,
Wherein would the colored people OF
the south benefit by a primary in
which they were not allowed to par.
ticipate? Most of the southern states
have primary laws but they are fol
white men only.
The suddenly awakened zeal for the
colored race shown by the Iowa sen
ator and his mouthpiece. the Register
and Leader. does not go to the root Of
the matter. 1t is plainly case Of
playing politics. The senator knows
that no law to change the basis Of
representation at national conventions
will ever pass when the convention

THE ROOSEVELT VISIT.

Ing American, received an enthusiastic
and characteristic reception as he
passed through Iowa on Friday. Dem

.ex-president who is so firmly en-
trenched In the hearts of his country

carried the fame and glory Of America
to foreign lands. The reception was
genuine, hearty and spontaneous. At
Denison 1000 people were gathered
and but for the fact that the news was
received too late to be in our papers
but day before his coming, the crowd
would have been more than doubled.
Roosevelt and what Roosevelt might
say were Of such oyerpowering inter-
sest that but little time was wasted on
a demonstration" There were cheers
when the special train pulled in and
the Roosevelt smile was recognized,
there were cheers for Roosevelt and
for his staunch friend, William How.

station, but the remainder of the brief
five minutes was spent in silent lis

that could have been paid-a much
higher tribute than any amount OF
noise. So intent were the people that
the stereotyped smile of Senator Cum.
minis as he stood in standpat territory
received no answering welcome, even
from his most enthusiastic supporters.
The business Of the meeting was to
hear Roosevelt and no side issues were
allowed to intrude.

deliberate attempt to give Mr.. Roose.

ed republicans gave the insurgents
something to >cackle about and was
doubtless intended to cool the ardor
Of the old-line republicans. In this it
failed. The standpatters may not have
attempted to climb up on the car plat
form to meet rebuff, but they were
out in full force and their welcome
was just as genuine as that of any
others.
1t Is again unfortunate that in the
Register and Leader Denison was
head-lined as having nominated
Roosevelt for 1912" There was not a
word of this during Roosevelt's brief
stay. There were cheers for Roose-
welt and cheers for Taft, but not a
syllable which would give foundation
for the sensational dispatch. Such
newspaper work is unjust to the peo-
pie Of Denison and unjust to Roose-
welt who has repeatedly gone on rec
ord that under no circumstances
would he accept a presidential nom
ination.
Roosevelt's reception In Iowa was q
magnificent tribute to the most typ
ical American our country has pro-
duced, 1t is too bad that it was at
tempted to make the great ex-presi-
dent serve as q stalking horse for In
snrgency. The president did not lend
himself to their purpose. His Deni-
son speech, for instance. contained
nothing to which every true man can
not subscribe with zeal and approval.
After complimenting Iowa he said
that the people should give attention
to government. He said he stood for
the general interest as opposed to
special interest. That corporations
should have square deal, that the
conditions should be made such that
they could earn and receive q fair
dividend, but that they were entitled
to nothing more. In closing he called
attention to the very pertinent fact
that the problem of good citizenship
Was an individual problem. In other
words that public virtue and honesty
depend upon individual virtue and
honor and that reform. like charity,
begins at home.
The visit of such man has q
tonic effect upon an entire commun-
ity. His words set men thinking in
right directions and serve to put such
communities as this in touch with the
living issues and the living men Of
the day. They make us feel more q
part OF the great republic and i'm
press US with our individual respon-
sibility as citizens. Mr.. Roosevelt
did his part splendidly in keeping his
western visit on high plane Of
broadcast citizenship; it remained for
the factional pheists to attempt to
make capital out Of his visit, on the
same principle that the "con" men al
ways travel with the big show

THE PRESIDENTS LETTER.
President Taft has issued his lette

President Taft has issued his letter
to the people of the country, show
ing the achievements of his admins
tration, the legislation which it is pro
posed shall be passed If q republican
congress is elected and the dangers
which would follow the election Of q
democratic house.
The letter Is kindly and concilia-
tory. It recognizes republican differ
ences but maintains that they are not
essential nor so great that they can
not be overcome. Unlike the dema-
gogue who seeks only to divide and
to accentuate faction, the president
points out the common ground on
which all republicans and all good
citizens in fact, can stand.
The letter should be read by all
who wish to be informed as to what
congress has done, what it proposes
1 to do and what the republican party
promises to perform If returned to
power. Recognizing the fact, how
ever. that the very length Of the let
ter will prevent many from reading
it, we have decided to publish it in
sections as 1t deals with different sub
jects Of interest.
This week we publish his remarks
on the tariff. It will be found that
the president justifies the Payne law
in many instances and criticizes it in
some. He proposes the first sane
and sensible method of tariff revision
that has been presented to the peo-
pie. Others have ranted about tariff
schedules, but it remains for the pres
ident to point the way. to practical
revision which shall not disturb or
destroy the labor market Of the
country.
He proposes revision, schedule by
schedule, such revision to. be based
upon the report Of an expert tariff
commission. s
Probably without intending 1t, the
president has. by pointing out how
much republicans have in common,
administered severe rebuke to those
who would rend the party for their
own aggrandizement.
Whether you are a democrat, an in.
surgent or republican, you are not
competent to discuss the politics Of
today until you have read President
Taft's letter. There are too many
who talk without reading and who
read without thinking. Read the
president letter and let 1t sink in. This
week we present only the tariff sec.
ton: next week we will see what the
president has to say about interstate
commerce and rate legislation. AS
the most discussed issue the tarif
receives the largest amount Of atten-
ton and this section will be the long
lest. Again let us impress that you
ought to read this letter. It is writ.
ten to you by the president of the
Z United States. 1t is his report to you
and you ought to read it.

selected and at work, is a commission
of disinterested persons who will as
certain the facts, not in formal hear
ing by examination and cross-exami-
nation of witnesses, but by the kind
of investigation that statisticians and
scientific investigators use. When the
commission completes its work, either
on the entire tariff or any of the
schedules in respect to which issue
has arisen, and the work Of the COM
mission shows that the present tariff
| is wrong and should be changed, I
expect to bring the matter to the at
tention of the congress with view to
its amendment of the tariff in that
particular. on course, this will be i'm
practicable unless congress itself
shall adopt the parliamentary rule, as
| hope it will, that bill to amend
one schedule to the tariff may not be
subject to motion to amend by add
ing changes in other schedules.
1t will thus be possible to take up
q single schedule with respect to
which 1t is probable that great ma
jority of each house will be unpreju-
diced, to admit the evidence and to
reach q fair conclusion and this meth
Cd will tend to avoid disturbing BUSH
ness conditions. For these reasons 1t
seems to me that all republicans
conservative, progressive and radi-
cal may well abide the situation with
respect to the tariff until evidence
now being accumulated shall justify
changes in the rates; and that 1t is
much better for them to vote for re-
publicans than to create q democrat
ic majority which would be utterly
at war with the protective principle,
and therefore would have no use for
the findings OF the tariff commission,
