REPUBLICAN PARTY WILL STAND PAT

Some democratic expounders trying the
preston that the republican party gradually but surely
drifting toward the democratic position particularly the
tariff question Nothing could be further from the truth
The agitation going within republican ranks for a
further revision of the tariff schedule will land the party
whit the democratic doctrine that issue Tariff
intended hxity. They intended to
change with changing circumstances. The conditions
fronting the country to-day require different schedule of
duties that which the conditions of twenty years back
But republican revision of the tariff has BEEN and will be-
conducted along protection nesthe protection of the home
manufacturers and American wageearners The rails
ing of is subordinate and controlled by the policy
of protection The democratic notion radically different
We present the following taken from democratic exchange
embodying the views Of that party this ISSUE
I. Government should collect penny of
than necessary administer its affairs with rigid
economy.
The lowest that will yield the greatest Of
revenue should be imposed.
g. Luxuries should always bear the highest duties
d. Experience has vindcated the wisdom of ad vaorem
duties as being the correct practice.
& Revenue duties should be laid operate with
equality throughout the unon discriminating neither for

g. Absolute necessities should go the free list
T. There should be imposed duty practically
all imports with certain EXCEPTIONS These exceptions should
be determined by the Imports coming competition

Deafness Can not be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafn ess
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in.
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can oe
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth

A DOUBTFUL REFORM.

We notice agitation in favor of shorter ballot.
The primary ballot of the republicans at the election
was gdawnout unweidy affair." it is true, owing the
number of asprants for almost every Office to be filled The
voters confused the multiplicity of candidates, most
all of whom personally unknown to the great
majority of electors. 1t inevitable that much of the
voting was of the blind order This is perhaps responsible
for the for curtamen of the ballot shorter bal
lot reduction of the number of Offices to be filled by
the electors. 1t Limitation of the number of
candidates for each office be voted for Such proposition
would be secuted infringement of individual rights.
We are therefore driven the conclusion that the notion of
a shorter ballot the transfer of Of the state offices
now filled by election the appontve system 1t aims to
take the of the hands of the people and place them
in the hands of the governor We do not believe that such
would prove popular The people jealous
their rights They may always vote Understandings
but that poor for the Limitation of their privileges
as electors The autocratic power in the distribution of
official pums by appointment is not in urgent need of
largemen and any attempt in that direction would not be
likely to command popular approval.

Hubert Robinson the Last of the
Bunch Of Youthful Thieves
to be Caught by the
Police.
COMPANIONS "PEAcHED,
Two Boys Taken to the Reform

Last One to go
Friday.

instead OF a trio OF youthful rob-
bers who stole from the refreshment
stand in the ball park the Riley resi-
dence on Tenth and Franklin streets,
and the club house at the golf links,
last Friday and Saturday, it was a
quartet, the fourth member of the
crew OF youngsters who did the steal
ing, having been arrested yesterday

panions in burglaring had peached on
him. Hubert Robinson is the name OF
the last boy to be arrested.
Yesterday afternoon the police
went to the home of young Robinson
who is ten year old colored lad,
at Sixteenth and Blondeau streets,
and to the officers he told the story Of

Meeting VIII be Held In the Superior
Court Room at Eight O'clock
to See What Can
be Done,
SHALL WE STAY IN?
No "BIufr Is Being Run by the Di-
rectors In Saying the Financial
Affairs are Down and
Out.

mere are some who believe that
the statement published In the news
papers last evening by the directors
Of the keokuk Baseball Association
was "bluff." THIS paper can, with
all faith and sincerity, say, however,
that such is not the case and that the
matter published represented truth
fully the conditions as they exist right
now in keokuk In the matter Of her
baseball team remaining In the Con-
trial Association.
This evening at eight O'clock In the
superior court room, mass meeting
Of the citizens will be held and at
that time a statement of finances as
they are at the present time with the
local baseball association will be Civ
en- out by the directors in detail.
1t Is urgent that every one attend
the meeting tonight,
The matter of holding the franchise
is serious one and should keokuk
lose her baseball team on account of
the money barrier which can be re-
moved If only the citizens will come
to the rescue, a community which has
ever been loyal to the great American
game will see baseball sink from sight
and drawing card that is foremost
both In the business and social life of
keokuk will have dropped from view
all together.
Commercial Club Takes Initiative.
The Commercial club has taken the
initiative in the matter Of raising
money for the purpose of seeing the
keokuk baseball team through the
present season. That Is all that is
necessary and future seasons can take
care of themselves.
It will mean everything to keokuk
to retain her ball club and to see the
team through the rest of the season.
Plans will be devised this evening
whereby this can be done and all are
asked to be present and assist In the
making of them.
People outside of keokuk who have
been In the habit Of coming to keo-
kuk to attend baseball games during
the past several years have fallen in
to the custom of trading with keokuk
merchants. When they once come
they always return. If baseball is
dropped, the town will be dead
as far as professional ball Is con-
cerned and baseball has surely
kept things on the move here during
the summer months Of the year
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1910-07-13
Tonioht at 8 O'clock.

Everyone, whether interested or no,
in baseball is requested for the sake
of the city, to be present tonight at
the superior court room at eight
o'clock when it will be seen whether
or not the city will remain in the
league.
The matter is one Of vital import
ance.
