Competition between steam and In

has led to rivalry which the efficient

Gently a well-known railroad official
occupied the position of assistant gen.
eral freight agent of great steam
railroad line. In seeking a man to
operate the traffic department of an
interurban line the general manager
found the general freight agent ready
to leave the steam road II proper in
ducements were offered. The result
was that the former steam railroad
man became general traffic manager
Of the interurban system at salary
much larger than he formerly re-
ceived.
The same condition was evident
when an assistant superintendent Of
the same steam road became super1n-
tendent Of operation OF the same in

1t is the policy Of the traction lines
to secure the most efficient men at
any cost. Recently when freight busi-
ness became an important considera-

rapid and, according to records Of the
interurban line, men were elevated to
high positions within few years.

1t is reported that the president will
devote large part of the present week
to holding conferences with the leading
congressman and that an effort will
be made to conciliate the insurgents.
This is what he should have been doing
at the beginning. These men were
elected to congress on a distinct prom
Use to secure certain legislation, but
when they reached Washington, they
were notified that a regular program
had been prepared and that they must
accept that or nothing. They rebelled
and the old leaders, with President
Taft's consent and help, attempted to
force them to fall in line or leave the
party to be run by the old guard. After
struggle Of over year the president
has come to realize that he had start
ed on the wrong track and pow propos-
es to make an effort to remedy some
Of his early mistakes. A little more
consideration for the insurgents at the
beginning would have saved an awk-
ward situation and the threatened
success of the democratic party.

THE NASTY PLAY AGAIN.

Chica go is endeavoring to shut off the
stage an indecent play. Tt started with
a title which was an advertisement of
its quality. In response to public out
cry. it changed its name but kept its
attractiveness. Then Chicago officials,
stirred by public remonstrance and in
dignation, enjoined it. The allegation
against the production was that it went
very far toward accurate reproduction
of scenes in brothel.
What has come upon the present
generation that il should demand and
encourage such portrayals? These
productions are not confined to Chi
cago; they come out into our smaller
cities, attract standing room only au-
diences in cities like our own. Good
women sit thru them and come away
praising ''the music Of an operate
hit which men next day describe as
closely reproducing the mirth and
gayety and freedom Of the red lights.
Other good women go, and afterward
express indignation. And young men
and young women of good repute and
honest character sit side by side while
Infinitely low suggestion is Haunted be-
fore their eyes.

CLAIMS OF THE CANDIDATES.
TT.eMarS Sentipel1

Governor Carroll is asking a renomi-
nation because it has been party
precedent to grant one. The Taft
club want him renominated because
"a vote for Carroll is a vote for Taft"
Meanwhile Garst's candidacy is rapid
ly gaining strength because he stands
for policies in natiouaI affairs in which
Iowa republicans believe and is not
afraid to say so. The whole country
understa nds the issues in Iowa this
year are not local or personal. Garst
stands for the endorsement of our rep
resentatives in congress and their in
sistence upon the fulfillmert of the
party's promises. The primary vote
will decide whether Iowa republicans
stand with these representatives or
with Aldrich and Cannon.

Peat Not Good Fuel.

Experiments made last year on the
Swedish railroads in regard to the
possibility Of employing peat as a fuel
not given the results which were
hoped for. On the contrary, they show
that the locomotives now in use are
not suitable for the employment Of
peat, unless this is mixed with large
proportion Of other fuel. In conse-
quence Of these results, the engineers
OF the Swedish government railway:
are engaged In designing locomotives
better adapted for the combustion Of
peat and with, these locomotives the
experiments will be continued.

Time was when every dot on the

What appears to be cleverly
worked-out scheme on the part of
some of those who would defeat Sena-
tor Beveridge is coming to light at In
dianapolis. Despairing of overcoming
the great personal popularity of the
senator, which has increased at tre-
mendous rate the last winter, 1t is
planned to get him snarled up In the
local option fight in such a manner as
to deprive him of friends on both sides.
Just wherein the office of United States
senator is to be affected by such a
purely state issue is not apparent to
those who are seeking principles and
not the advancement of men primar-
lily Briefly the idea is that the repub-
lican state platform shall not mention
in any way the temperance question,
nor shall 1t reaffrm the present declar-
ations on the subject. 1t is therefore
figured out by the senator's enemies
that the friends of the saloon will thus
have reason to come back to she re-
publican party. which they deserted
last fall as the absence of any specific
declaration will be merely notice that
the issue is closed and nothing will be

youth was brought by his parents to
America. After studying at Oberlin col

Civil war he served as captain in the
first Iowa cavalry. After the war he
became a resident of Missouri and for
two terms he represented the sixth Mis-

done. Also 1t is believed that the radi-
cal temperance element. lacking a
declaration on the subject, will take 1t
that the senator himself. being in con-
troll of the republican state organiza-
therefore opposed to the local option
idea The men hostile to the senator
are opportunists. 1t was pointed cut
by some of them at the recent meeting
of the Republican Editorial Associa-
ton that Judge Montgomery. who was
one of the speakers there. will be a
candidate for reelection TO the SUI
preme court. and that he had decided
the local option law is unconstitution-
al Another judge is also to be elected,
and If he should be of the same mind
the law would be upset on a rehearing.
Then. without declaration in the state
platform the party men would not be
bound to re-enact the law, and Indiana
would find itself with the saloon on it's
hands again. 1t is pointed out that If
the platform makes no declaration the
temperance end of the party. Governor
Hanly at the head would in all proba
bility hold the senator responsible and
there would be the biggest kind of
scramble, with consequent defeat.
Fortunately, Senator Beverage is
far-seeing and level headed. That he
will be led into any such trap is quite
unlikely. His chances for success are
so great now, and the people are so
heartily with him. that he will doubt
less stand pat on what the party has
done in temperance egislation.-La-
