(New Orleans Picayune.)


 Colonel Roosevelt, triumphant :n his efforts to bring the wild beasts of the African jungles in to subjec- ton and place an American citizen on a plane with the monarchs and potentates of Europe. met his first rebun and decisive defeat at the hands of the Ney York state legisla- ture. when he attempted to boss it and to compel 1t to enact a primary nomination bill when it was assem- bled in special session.
 Now. a nominating direct primary Is just as readily and certainly con trolled by the party machine as is the old-fashioned nominating con yention when once the politicians get the hang of 1t, but as 1t is something new in New York. the manipulators of the machine are afraid of it, and, therefore. they oppose it.
 Governor Hughes. of New York. wanted such a law, but the legisla- tu7e. at its regular session, refused to enact it and therefore he called a special session and put the matter before it. Governor Hughes, in order to use the supposed powerful infiu- ence of the returned slayer of lions and hobnobber with emperors and kings. applied to him for aid. and the most puissant colonel sent a tele- gram to a friend in the legislature urging the enactment into law of the Cobb direct nomination bill, but the legislature. republican as 1t is, would have none of it, and. after defeating the bill. adjourned.
 Thus the great man, who was to reunite and restore 10 strength and unity the. once mighty but now di- vided republican party. has been fiouted and laughed to scorn in his own state, and if it means anything 1t teaches that at all events the reg ular and standpat republicans do not accept his leadership. and they virtn- ally turn him over to the insurgents.
 The idea has been from the first that the colonel, on his return from abroad, would put himself at the head of the radical clements of all parties and head d movement that would amount virtually to a revolution. Colonel Roosevelt is not a stand batter" a term that corresponds to the 'stalwarts" of Grants time. and before he went away be was regard ed with disfavor by all the conserva- tive republican leaders, and it is not likely that they will adopt him again as their leader.
 If the colonel is not to be in- stalled as the regenerator and the saviour of the old republican party, what Is to become of him, since he actually cannot live in retirement? He must be prominent in public at tention, and this brings us to the question of new party. But a great movement to change political conditions must either be based OF some great principle of right and truth or it may be only a revolution ary outbreak to change the order oi things for the most selfish purpose.
 Both of the great parties are di vided on issues of conservatism on one side and radicalism on the other

WANTS PARTY CONVENTION.


 Ben R. Clark. one of the best known democrats of Arizona, has come forward with the suggestion that the party in Arizona hold a con vention in the near future. and put forth it's platform Of principles. He declares that by this means the dem ocrats will all appear on a uniform platform. Clark sets out his idea of the situation in the following letter from Solomonville:
 JOHN O. DUNBAR. Phoenix:-
 Dear Sir:-I am very much in- clined to the opinion that a territori- al convention should be called and held, in the near future. for the pur- pose of adopting and making public a democratic platform upon which our candidates are to make the race for delegate to the constitutional con vention.
 If this is not done we are liable 10 have to face the very embarrassing condition of having our candidates in one county advocating one thing while our candidates in another coun- ty are making the race on an issue entirely different
 Framing a state constitution is a new thing for the people of Arizona. and unless We are able to show 10 the people the merits of the things for which we stand. I am afraid party lines and past party affiliations will te discarded and the candidates most capable of making himself a good fellow will receive a majority of the

ROOSEVELT MEETS FIRST DEFEAT
 SINCE RETURNING FROM AFRICA.

I the idea is that should the issues upon which the division is made go to the extent of a revolutionary movement on the part of the radi- calls they will be resisted by the conservatives, without regard to for mer party utilization. But upon what principle or cardinal doctrine can the conservatives Of both old parties come together? Formerly they were diametrically opposed each to the other. As for the radicals engaged in a headlong movement. they are for any change. and overthrow of the old order. only hoping that in the commotion that may result each and every adventurer will rise 10 the top and share fin such benefits or plunder as may be in reach.
 Mir. John Kibby. Jr., president Of the National association of Manu- lecturers. proposes in American In- dustries for July. a party based on the Constitution of the United States. He proposes that the constitution represents the settled. permanent of the people and is not to be over thrown by the whim of the hour or the opinion of the minority. however passionately 1t may be vociferated The fathers cunningly devised the constitution to be a cheek not only against the despotism of the king but also gainst tke tyrany of the mob. of which they had full knowledge and just as much fear. Today the constitution is in need of protection against the tyranny of the mob as never before in our history. The fears of the fathers have been real ized and their wisdom vindicated. ', He asks: Has not the day dawn ed for the formation of new politi- cal party that will stand for the square deal and which should be founded upon a permanent written platform fashioned after the Consti- tuition of the United States and un- alterably pledged to the maintenance of the principles therein set forth?- platform that should forever and specifically bind the party to the principle that all people in this coun- try shall be free to enjoy the unin- terrupted right and privilege to make the best of their legitimate oppor- tunities and peremptorily and rigidly to enforce the laws against any man or combination of men who may at- tempt to abridge such right"
 The writer mentioned holds that the function of a new party would be to protect the constitution against the assaults of its organized antag- onists who defy the law. invent new constructions of the constitution 10 meet fancied needs which they have imagined but which have no exist ence in fact, intimidate legislators, defame courts and endeavor fin every way to make the legislative, execu- tive and judicial departments of our , government immediately responsive to every crazy. transient, popular whim and caprice which they. them selves, have created and whose ob ject of the beneftting of the class to which they belong at the expense of the majority of the people and the perpetuity of republican institu tions.

LIVE STOCK RATES.

An article in The Gate City yester-
day, reproduced from the Iowa City
Republican, protested against grant
ing the demands Of the Iowa Corn
Belt Meat Producers association for
cheaper freight rates on live stock to
Chicago. 1t was shown In the article
that the effect Of lower rates to that
city would be to work hardship to
Iowa packers whose competition with
the Chicago concerns has been OF
great benefit to Iowa farmers. These
views have long been held by this
paper and a general discussion Of the
subject is gladly welcomed. Tie &c,
dar Rapids Gazette lis another paper
that has a word In season. The Ga.
zette also agrees with the Republican,
saying:
I'VE have number OF packing
plants in Iowa. They should be. built
up. If We can encourage them, there
is no reason why such announcement
should not be granted, instead OF
throwing all our influence and cup

ToWNER ON DIVORCE.

Judge horace Nj. IoWner OF Corn
ing, addressing the Congregational
club of the Plymouth Congregational
church at eDes Moines, offered num-
Der of suggestions relative to a rem
edy for the divorce evil. Secret mar
riages and hurried divorces were con-
demned, but most of all the speaker
denounced the loose laws which gov
ern marriage. The following were
the salient points in his address:
The lawful age OF marriage should
be raised at least to eighteen years.
No marriage should. be lawful unless
previous public notice has been given,
SO that those interested may have an
opportunity to intervene.
No marriage should be solemnized
except In the presence of witnesses
known to the person officiating.
The parties and witnesses should be
put under oath as to the necessary
facts, and false swearing made per-
jury.
A heavy fine or Imprisonment should
be put upon the parties, and person
officlating, when the requisites OF the
law have not been complied with.
No marriage except as prescribed BY
law should be recognized by law, and
all, loose. irregular, common law"
or any other so-called forms of mar.
rage should be forbidden under
heavy penalties.
Divorces should be permitted to re-
marry only after proving to trial court
that second matrimonial venture is
justified.
Persons migrating from one state to
another for the purpose of securing a
divorce, should not be given a decree
Tor any cause not recognized in such
other state.
The trial court should appoint In all
uncontegted cases, an attorney to in
yestigate and defend and to prevent
collusion and fraud.
Secret hearings should be abolish
ed; all evidence should be made
public.
Judge Towner held that intemper-
ance, too secluded home life and i'm
.proyident marriage are the real Gauges
for the increase In the number OF
divorces. He defended the divorce as
last resort, declaring that the awful
conditions disclosed in every divorce
court where hatred and terror and I'M
speakable cruelty exist, prove that it
liz imperative to end ouch conditions
even with the knife OF divorce.
The ministers in Des Moines who
were interviewed on the subject agree
with him, with one exception Rev.
w B. Gage declared he was odd
fashioned enough to think the Bible
the only authority on the divorce
law" The judges OF the district court
there coincide in Judge TOWERS
views and endorse his suggestions.

wHIskEY OFFICIALLY DEFINED.

President Taft, having deeply con-
sidered the matter. officially decided
last week that whiskey is whiskey,
except when It's rum. The late ad-
ministration ruled, Attorney Genera
Bonaparte and DR.. Wiley concurring,
that only straight whiskey, aged in
charred oak casks. should be branded
"whiskey.'' Later. Solicitor General
Bowers extended the use Of that name
to liquors made OF rectified and dis
titled spirits. Now President Taft ex-
tends the name still farther to cover
blends and whiskey made OF neutral
spirits. He considers what "whiskey9
has meant and included for the last
century rather than what 1t ought to
mean and include, but he suggests
that the label should tell what the
Whiskey is made OF. To neutral spir-
its made OF molasses he denies the
title OF -whiskey" on the ground that
they are rum.

THE NEW FOOD INSPECTOR.

Governor carroll mas CHOSEN w B.
Barney of Hampton as state dairy and
food inspector 10 succeed H. R.
Wright. The Davenport Democrat,
which knows the new appointee well,
says the governor could not
have done better In securing
the state for the right man for the
place. Mr.. Barney has been one of
the leading scientific dairymen of the
state for years, fact that was rec
ognized in his election as president
of the State Dairymen's association.
The Democrat says of him:
His large dairying farm near
Hampton is considered one OF the
model farms Of that kind. AS he was
born in Iowa forty years ago. IL will
be demonstrated that Iowa can furn-
ish the men to look after It's own
farming and dairying interests and
pure food laws, as well as furnish
them to the country at large. Mr..
Wright retires April after twelve
years continuous service, and the
work that he lays down will remain
In good hands

OTHER TOWNS WILL BENEFIT

v 6Eh bOWN3 WILL BENEFIT.
The Canton (Mo.) News says that
the Keokuk water power news caused
great rejoicing there, and adds:
1T means great deal to Canton
perhaps more than anything that has
ever happened We can get power
here AZ cheap as at Keokuk and fac
tory sites will be much cheaper. II
our landowners do not show too much
OF hoggish spirit Canton can reap
rich results from the building of the
dam. Property values will steadily
rise during the next few years. popula-
ton will be multiplied and there will
be lots of building to do. Having the
new school house about completed,
Canton is ready for all the boom that
wants to come"
Development of the power at Keo-
kuk will benefit every city, town and
country neighborhood within radius
OF fifty or more miles. The power will
be sold almost as cheaply in all this
territory as in Keokuk and will be as
serviceable in them as in this city.
This fact should exercise a restrain
ing influence on those inclined to de-
mand "hold-up' prices for Keokuk
real estate. II more is demanded for
Keokuk property than it is worth the
men and firms seeking new locations
for factories will build them outside
of keokuk. The extent to which Keo-
kuk will be benefited by the develop
ment of the power depends very large
ly upon Keoknk's reasonableness and
good sense.
