The Methodists Honor Taft.

The Capital of last week told the
story of dramatic scene in the Des
Moines conference of the NJ. E. church
ut Perry. DR.. Homer Stuntz mission.
airy to the Philippine Islands, related
the story of the work of William How
ard Taft as governor of the Philippines.
DR.. Stuntz made long review of Mr..
Taft work, told of his vigorous battle
for the right and how it had helped
clean up the city of Manila of corrupt
ton, graft and immortality. The de-
scription was so graphic that the con
ference sat spell bound and at the con
clusion of the address every man rose
to his feet and gave the Chautauqua sa-
lutes.
Fifteen hundred people were present
Our correspondent relates that there
never was before such scene in any
Methodist conference. At the conclus-
ion of the long applause one Methodist
brother on the front seat started sing
ing Praise God From Whom All Bless
ings Flow" Everybody joined in the
singing. Among those present was
Bishop M. G.. Harris, who for a quarter
of century has represented the nj. e.
church in Japan. Bishop Harris could
personally give evidence in regard to
Mr.. Taft's work for the great good of
humanity in the Philippines,
President Taft was finally given his
full value by the American people. The
nation never produced q stronger, clean
er or more capable man. He has stood
up in the face of detraction for two
years. But in the end he will be the
victor. He can afford to wait--Capital

Ours Is One OF The Best Sections

Aside from the intrinsic worth of the
SOIL the salubrious climate is one of
the valuable assets for the Monte Chris
to section of the valley. Few localities
in the United States have more days of
generous conditions all the year round.
The temperature rarely ever reaches
the frost line, and when it does little
or no damage results to truck or fruit
1t could be said of this immediate por-
ton of the wonderful Lower RioGrande
Valley that health approaches, at least,
that condition when it is contagious
The weak grow strong here and the
strong remain, as rule, untouched by
disease The air is pure, the winds
from the gulf sweep over this section,
and while the sun beams down with
vigor i'm midsummer, its effect is modi-
fed by the constant breezes, and the
nigyts are delightfully."- cool, even in the
warmest season of the year, and sleep
inviting. All conditions, in fact, are
here present to make the Monte Christie
and the Valley country one of the most
prosperous home sections of this nation,
where plenty and to spare awaits the
man who will touch the soil with in
dustry and avail himself of the many
opportunities offered. Monte Christie

SECRETARY WILSON DEFENDS
TARIFF.

Secretary Wilson of Iowa, made a
speech down in Ohio last Saturday to
open the Republican campaign. Among
many good things he said in favor of
the Republican party was an endorse
ment of the Payne tiff law as follows:
I'VE have good times now a4d have
had since Mckinley became the advance
agent of prosperity. The revision of
the tariff has lost no man his job; nc
panic has followed The new schedules
average lower than the Dingley law; a
further reduction of tariffs generally
would hit the working people first.
Europe has lower wages than the United
States and would promptly take advan,
tage of lower duties. The farmer would
lose his customers and prices, for both
factory goods and farm goods would
come down. No tariff bill pleases
everybody. 1t is universally conceded
that all the facts necessary for intelli
gent legislation were not at the disposal
of the two houses of congress when they
were acting upon the tariff, but steps
have been taken to remedy this in the
future. The legislation enacted during
the first fifteen months of President
Taft's administration has no parallel
until we go back to the legislation en-
acted during the civil war.

SHOULD ABOLISH THE BOARD.

Before leaving his post as president
of the Iowa State College at Ames, DR..
Storms gave the new Educational Board
as well as its members, a parting shot
that leaves both of them full of holes.
DIR. Storms came to the head of that
school ut a critical time, and carried
the work forward with the utmost har-
mony and with magnificent success.
But when the new Educational Board
took charge year ago, it became the
policy to ignore the president, and deal
directly with the professors and instruct
ors, discharging some, and employing
others without the knowledge or recon-
mendation of the president. Further,
that the Board at no time, gave him an
opportunity to be present at its meet
ings, to present the needs and interests
of the school, DR.. Storms is man OF
great ability, and such treatment soon
became intolerable to his self respect,
and he stepped down and out. The fact
is the Board should never have been
created. The three great schools of the
state were doing splendidly under the
board of trustees, and they should have
been let alone. The next Legislature
should proceed to promptly repeal the
new law, and go back to the old system.
Some changes are not reforms by a long
way.

posed of representative republicans of

thusiastic. Every county in the dis,
trict was represented and the reports
given were gratifying to candidates
and committeeman alike.
The conference was participated in
by both elements of the party. There
was no effort to be otherwise than can
did. Past differences were frankly rec
ogniZed. Every speaker was absolutely
generous and fair and the discussion
was carried on in commenable spirit

TEDDY TALKS FOR TAFT.

AT meeting at Syracuse, New York,
last Saturday. Col Roosevelt talked
again for the present administration as
follows:
The President of the United States,
Mr. Taft, has served his country honor
ably and uprightly in many positions
as Judge, as governor of the Philippines,
as secretary of war, and now rs presi-
dent for him and the Congress acting
with him, we owe the creation of a tar
iff Commission; the adoption of max
imum and minimum tariff, and treaties
with foreign powers, the proper treat
ment of the Philippines under the tariff,
the increase in the efficiency of the i'm
terstate commerce law, the beginning of
a national taxing program providing
for the exercise of the taxing power in
connection with corporations doing an
interstate business, II postal savings
bank bill, the constitution of commits
ion to report Il remedy for over capital
cation in connection with the issue of
stocks and bonds; but few of his services
are more deserving of regard than what
he said in the matter of criticism of the
judiciary.

Willie Rucker Injured.

On Saturday afternoon about o. clock
as Wilbur Il. Kennels was driving his
auto up Broadway over the crossing III
the office of the Green Bay Lumber
Company, his machine struck little
Willie Rucker, about seven years OF
age and "a son of William Rucker
knocked him over and cut a cash above
one of his eyes. Fortunately the boy
fell between the wheels, and though the
car passed over him before it could be
stopped, he received no further injury.
Because of the passing of dray, Mr..
Kennels could not see the boy in time
to prevent the accident. This opinion
of Mr.. Kennels is corroborated by
Messrs f. III. Adams and Mr.. Gleason
who saw the accident. The boy was on
the street Monday with his father and
getting along very nicely, and all the
people rejoice that the little fellow es
capped with so little injury

Revised The Tariff Downward.

When the Democrats were last in
control of the national government, they
revised the tariff downward with the
result that men We're begging for work
and women and children for something
to eat. Some one who has been delying
into the matter gives the following
comparison of prices in 1896 and 1910
of the principal agricultural products:
In 1896 corn was 20 cents; in 1910, 81
cents; wheat, 63 cents and 81 10; cotton
II cents and l5 cents: oats, 10 and ~
cents; rye, 80 and 20 cents; barley, 30
and 90 cents, hay, 81 40 and Sl705.
hops ~ and 33 cents; potatoes Is and 80
cents; flaxseed. SO cents and $214;
cattle, 1926 and SO. 10; hogs, 50. 90 and
$10.6l; butter, 10 and 81 cents; eggs, IL
and 25 cents Maybe farmers want to
go back to that scale of prices, but we
doubt it.

THE PRIMARIES IN ILLINOIS.

At the primary elections over in Iii
nois last week, Uncle Joe Cannon was
nominated again by about 5000 majority.
Only three insurgents won out. The
most important defeat was that of Con
gresham Boutell, who threatened to
run as an Independent. Twenty two
out of thirty-two democratic members
who voted for Lorimer were
renominated for the next legislature. Lee
O'Neill Browne who was acquitted last
week on an Indictment for bribing dem
ocratic members to vote for LoIimer
was among the number placed in nomi-
nation again. The people and polite
ians of Iowa think we have had much
strenuous politics, but our state caunot
hold a candle to Illinois in this respect.

Seed Corn Week.

The last week in September has been
designated as Seed Corn" week by the
extension department of agriculture OF
the Iowa State college at Ames, and
every farmer is urged to observe it by
picking and laying aside his seed corn
at this time. Thousands of Iowa
farmers had to replant their corn last
spring because of poor seed Many
had but one-half or one third of a stand.
If every ear of corn that is 10 be used
as seed in Iowa next year could be har-
vested this fall not later than September
30 and hung up where it would dry out
thoroughly before the freezing nights
of October and November have weaken
ed or killed it, it would add millions of
dollars to the wealth of Iowa.

Twenty ninth Wedding Anniversary

On the day that their son, Frank was
married Mr.. and Mrs. ID. G. Mott cele.
brated the twenty-ninth anniversary of
their own wedding day; and in making
reference to the matter in his paper Mr.,
Mott writes as follows:
1T afforded us no little qualification
to be able TO celebrate so appropriately
the most momentous day in our own
life. All day our thoughts were busy
with the past All day memory hear
kened back to that other wedding day,
and other scenes and other friends and
other handclasps. All day we weighed
and balanced the joys and the sorrows
of twenty nine years. and when we
clasped the hand of our son to wish him
Joy, it was with u glad heart we realized
that he had entered the same old, travel
worn road, that he would lift and bear
the same responsibilities, that however
the world might buffet him he would
always have the haven of restful home
and a loving heart
Perhaps we may be pardoned upon
this occasion if we forget for the nom
ent the aspiring junior editor Of this
paper, and remember only the little
boy the college lad, the clean hearted
young man who has brought only com
fort and JOY to the home which has
sheltered him for twenty four years.
No dearer gift could he have brought
on this our twenty ninth wedding ami
versary, than the gifted young girl he
has chosen to be our daughter. We
feel that another precious link is added
to our household chain, and-another
able pen to the Republican force.
Here's to our children: May they live
up to their highest possibilities, and at
tain those ideals toward which we have
only reached.
