My idea is that a souvenir edition
of THE APPEAL be published con-
tanning a chronological history of the
events that have transpired during
its existence, cuts and sketches of
prominent men and women, cuts Of
the beautiful homes that so many
have become the happy possessors of,
and numerous other matters of inter

most valuable one for us all. Then

Stamping on the Water.

Maine and Vermont will have cleo,
tons in September, and President Taft
is cruising along the Maine coast in
the Mayfower, stopping now and then
to make political speeches.
The Mayfower is a government
yacht, maintained at government ex-
pense, for the personal use and benefit
of the president.
The president pays his expenses out
of travelling allowance of $4,000 a
year paid him from the treasury of the
United States.
He is using the governments prop
erty and the money of the people to
make a political campaign in behalf
of himself and the republican party.
There is one word which BELTS such
use of government money and prop
erty and that word is fraudulent.
A man with proper conception of
personal and official dignity never
would do it.

ton itself constitutes a party. When
large number of people want a GER
tain public policy they will vote for
it, and so doing they constitute a party.
Now, the thing that Joseph G. Can.
non seems wholly unable to grasp is
that a lot of the republicans do not
agree substantially with another lot
of republicans. They do not agree in
regard to the merits of Mr. Cannon
himself They do not agree regarding
the character of the new tariff law.
They do not agree regarding the atti-
tude of the dominant elements of the
party toward the great moneyed cor
porations.
1t is because the two sorts of re-
publicans are not in substantial agree
ment that the minority has on some
occasions acted with the democrats,
with whom they are in much closer
accord than with the majority of the
party they have hitherto associated
with. The insurgents will not vote
with the regulars merely to keep the
republican party in power; they Will
vote for the party that comes the near
est to giving them what they want in
government. and if considerable part
of the republicans are hostile to Can
non and his coterie that coterie had
better concede something to them; it
will need their votes badly enough in
November, and it won't get them by
threats.

The Partisan Plea.

Everywhere Speaker Cannon is seek
Ink to arouse partisanship, a senti-
ment productive of more political ills
than any other. If it were not for the
craftsmanship of honest men the po-
Itical rascals would not be kept in
power. However necessary parties
may he, they are only justifiabIe as
means to ends. Every year we have
abundant justification of the warning
of Washington's farewell address
against the "baleful spirit of party"
He had the prophetic sense and he
foresaw how Injurious the partisan
ship would prove to popular govern
lment
In the course of one of his latest
,panegyrics on partisanship the speaker
said: an order to govern it Is neces-
sary, with a population of 10000, 900,
that those who substantially agree
touching economic and other policies
should cooperate, and they can only
cooperate through organization"
But there is not the least trouble
about getting men who agree substan-
TALLY to cooperate, and that coopera-

The Inconsistency of Moline's posi-
ton. apropos Of the proper listing OF
the resident population of Rock Island
arsenal, is shown in the suggestion
made there that If the enumera-
ton is to- be given to either
Rock Island or Moline it should
be credited to both, or else put
in a class by itself. Such and idea.
Every precedent, every rule requires
that the population be accredited to
Rock Island. which is the postofice
location, the geographical location.
AS well include the resident popula-
ton of Rock Island arsenal in the city
OF Alton, or the city of Galena as Mo-
line. The mere suggestion that the
island population be given to both cit
ies or to neither is a species of the
dog-in-the-manger that it was not sus-
pected that proud Moline would be
guilty of, especially when the census
returns from that city have been closed
and officially published. Think it over
there, brothers, and see if you are not
ashamed of yourselves.

A Question of Education.

Authorities are quoted in a recent
magazine which show that thousands
of salaried men are being forced by
the high price OF living to take their
children out Of school.
With wages increased but 10 per
cent in the last decade and, living ex
penses Increased so per cent, the chill.
dren of wage earners must get to work
and quit school to help keep the wolf
from the door.
Charge this national disaster, the
worst evil which could befall, to Mel
son Aldrich, Joe Cannon, William H
Taft and the republican tariff.

the boat on the sand above them.

Then happy tears filed her eyes.
