LIKES THE JEFFS.

Dear Daddy Jim: Here comes an
other Georgia boy knocking at your
door. Will you let him in? My
uncle takes The Jeffersonian and
enjoy reading over the Post Card
Club very much. My papa did take
the Magazine, but he died a few
months ago and | miss it ever so
much. l am like papa was, l think
Mr.. Watson is a great man. l have
a sister who nearly worships Mr..
Watson and she has written to the
Post Card several times. We can
hardly wait for the day to come when
the paper gets here. If I see this in
print will come again.-Elvin Var

Dear Daddy Jim: Will you admit
little Georgia boy in your happy
band? This is my first attempt.
Papa takes The Jeffersonian and l
enjoy reading it. l turn to the Post
Card Club first thing. I will answer
some riddles: The answer to Bertha
Chamberlain is a wheelbarrow. Fern
Donelly, yours is eight persons. Mary

Dear Daddy Jim:-Here l come for
the first time. Papa takes The JEFF

them fine. I enjoy the Club very
much. How are you all enjoying this

before but l guess my letter went

would try again. Mr.. Watson, old

IN FAVOR OF COMPULSORY EDU-
CATION.

Dear Daddy Jim:-Here I come
again for admittance to our dear old
club. | sure do enjoy the good let
tiers and riddles. 1t has been quite a
while since l have visited the club.
Say. boys and girls, isn't it nice of
Daddy Jim to let us have a page all
to ourselves? 1t certainly is. And
l certainly appreciate it, too. What
has become of our debate, boys?
Barnie, let us hear from you. | would
like to exchange cards with you; how
about it? l am for compulsory edu-
cation every time Alas Louis, if you
could only step into some homes
around cotton mills where there are
from six to ten grown boys and girls
who, if you were to ask them to write
their names, they would not even
know what you meant. | have been
to homes down here where there were
at least six boys who could not write
their names nor count dozen. Why
have not these boys an education?
Why, just simply because there is no
compulsory laws to force them to go.
You say Mr.. Watson and Jefferson got
an education without compulsory
laws. Yes, perhaps they did, but
where is the boy today with the de-
termination that they had? They are
few and far between. Some parents
are raised up without an education
and they will say if you try to pre-
vail on them to send their children
to school, 81 got along all right with
out an education and my children can
do likewise" I think everybody, boy
or girl, should strive hard for an ed
ucatiOn. 1t helps to make better

pie. | am going to strive hard for an
education, for that is one accomplish
ment no one can take away from you.

1 WHY NOT JACKSON,

If. in the interests of harmony. Sen
ator Cummins is to be the temporary
chairman of the republican state con
vention, we would suggest the name
of Ex-Governor Frank D. Jackson as
permanent chairman. Governor Jack
son is splendid orator and we'll rep.
resents the brand of republicanism
that will control the convention, If
insurgency is to have it's innings in
the forenoon session, what more fit
ting than that republicanism should
be heard from in the afternoon, and
who better fitted to present Its case
than the man who lead the party out
of the defeat where Cummins and his
followers had lead it by the election
of Boies? If Gov. Jackson declines
to serve, then let us have Hepburn
or Lacey or Smith or Geo. D. Per-
kins.

4 AGAIN. WHY NOT?

The Register and Leader declares
the senators from Iowa were right In
holding out against the Postal Savings
bill like the juror who found the
other eleven so everlastingly stub
born. In the course Of its argument
It complains of the clause that IS
per cent Of the deposits may be In
vested in bonds as an entering wedge
But that is limitation q succeeding
Congress may easily remove"
Why did not that thought, that q
succeeding Congress might easily alter
the law, enter the heads of the sena.
tors from Iowa. Why did they not
vote for the Inauguration Of the great
postal savings system, secure in the
knowledge that if the present law de-
yeloped weaknesses and errors, "suc
ceeding Congress might easily remove
them?
Was it because they had not faith
in the honesty and good purpose OF
any but themselves? Or was it simply
because they are "agin the govern
ment?"

TWO NEW STATES.

When President Taft on Monday af-J
fixed his signature to the statehood
bill, Arizona and New Mexico took the
first step along the straight road to
statehood. When the still, somewhat
toilsome journey is completed, the
United States of America will be made
up Of forty-eight sovereign states and
no territories. There will remain out
side OF the union the appurtenment or
noncontiguous territories of Alaska,
Hawaii, Porto Rico, Guam and the
philippines. OF these, Alaska cher.
ishes hope of some day becoming a
plain territory and, eventually being
graduated in to full statehood. There
has been suggestion that Porto Rico
may follow the same course, but 1t is

This bill passed the house with the

SPEAKING OF FAIR PLAY.

fair play. It is the constant plea Of
his close newspaper; friends that he
doesn't. Il they are right about 1t,
the fault is with their chief, for he has
never played fair game in politics
from the time the democrats Of Polk
county placed him ON their ticket for
the legislature. He has always met
opposition with charges against some
body. His plan Of advancing himself
has invariably included the breaking
down of someone else. He has always
been ready to make any alliance that
promised advantage for himself. Thus
he allied himself with the free silver
ties in 1898 and with the democrats in
1909. Thus in 1901 he was in relation
with the railroads, and the eager re-
cipient of free passes, and in 1906 he
was the fierce opponent of railroads
and bitter in his denunciation of free
passes. He has treated individuals in
like manner, both democrats and re-
publicans. Following the death Of
Senator Allison, Dolliver knew what
would happen to him if he did not get

of Cummins as Dolliver had spoken,

been opposed by Cummins artfully

desires to control the Iowa republican
state convention this year as means
of continuing his opposition to Taft.
The offense of Taft is that he has not
made himself tool Of Cummins. Taft
has pleaded for the whole party, and
Cummins has been diligent in behalf
of small faction of the party, in the
ranks of which his ambition is to be
king. Cummins has been unwilling to
take chances in fair way among men.
His steadfast purpose has been to ad-
vance himself, and he has invariably
made the cause secondary. The spirit
of self-sacrifice is not in him. He is
guided by personal vanity. The party
is nothing to him more than ladder

AS TO COMPROMISE,

AS to the question whether the re-
publicans of Iowa or of Crawford coun-
ty should stand by the administration
and by the vast majority of the re-
publican party or should indorse in
surgency in its persistent attacks up
on both, we believe there is no room
for compromise. It is a question of
principle and honest belief and not
OF mel and things. If the majority
of the republicans of this county favor
the Cummins-I nsurgent program, by
all means let us send delegation to
Des Moines which shall endorse it.
II the majority of the republicans of
the county are stalwart, by all means
let us send a delegation to Des Moines
that will stand by the president and
his policies.
The Times-Republican serves notice
that If the insurgents control the state
convention the resolutions will be hui
initiating to the president, not very
humiliating, but humiliating neverthe.
less. All those who favor that sort
of thing should stand up and be
counted. All those who do not favor
that sort of thing should stand up and
be counted. There ought to be moth.
ing in all this to get angry or excited
about, it will simply mean a graceful
yielding to the wish of the majority
and an acquiescence that that will
should be carried out.
There is no reason why the matter
should be carried into our county poll
tics or affect our county ticket. The
Review herewith pledges its earnest
hearty and sincere support Of every
republican nominee on the count,
ticket without question as to faction
1t also pledges itself to the support O
every republican nominee on the state
ticket without regard to faction. Ii

|cerned we are perfectly willing to com

er OF principle is another matter.

rAEr,s ACHIEVEMENT,

Washington Post: The wisdom of
President Taft's policy of Cancellation
is being exemplif1ed very clearly in the
last days of the sixty-first congress.
Without the blare of trumpets, the
president has accomplished the bulk
of his legislative program, and regu-
lars and Insurgents are now joining
together in praising his achievement.
There are many persons who
thought that President Taft had made
q great mistake in outlining SO defin-
itely what he hoped to accomplish in
the course of the sixty-first congress.
Had he not expressed such great
hopes, it was pointed out, he would
have been in a position to claim a VIC
tory, even though only a few good
laws were enacted,
Periodically 1t was declared that
the legislative program was hopeless
ly blocked; that this bill or that bill
had been dropped overheard, and that
congress would pass the railroad bill
and adjourn with half the program
lost in the shuttle. All kinds Of criti-
cism were leveled against the presi-
dent for having bitten of more than
he could chew.
It is now very evident to friends
and critics alike that President TAFT
knew what he was doing. The admin
istration took no chances. The bills
to which the republican national con-
vention pledged itself were drawn up
under the supervision Of the president
himself.
With the exception Of the anti-in-
junction law. every single measure to
which Mr.. Taft pledged himself will
be passed before the close Of the pres
ent congress. The railroad bill, adj
mitted BY insurgents. democrats and
regular republicans alike to be one
OF the best measures ever given the
country, has already been signed by
the president. So has the statehood
-. x L.
bill, which brings the number Of
states in the union to fortyeight. The
conservation measure has been passed
by the senate, and will be approved
by the house, going to the president
for his signature in few days.
All the bills, so frequently said to
have. been dropped overheard, have.
on the contrary, been piloted safely
into port, and 1t would seem that the
president could take his vacation with
the consciousness Of duty well done.
He can feel that he has given the re-
publican party platform Of achieve
ment on which It can we'll AFFORD to
stand in the coming campaign.
