was as carefully calculated a. an ad-
vertising campaign. Everywhere his
friends had spared no effort to make
his reception impressive and carry the
impression of presidential and person
al popularity, but at the end Of the
anabasis the president indirectly pre-
diets the defeat OF the party. This, let
US remember. after a $4,000 mile bid
for personal popularity and for popu-
larity for the party as the president
has represented it during his term.
The republican par0 is not unpop-
lar. On the contrary there is a strong
element in the republican party which
is essentially popular. A simi1r ele-
ment in the democratic pa - is its
only element of strength. Vle weak
ness of the republicans is the failure
Of the party to keep it's promises. the
promises solemnly made to the voters
by Mr.. Taft when he stood as legatee
of the republican policies Of Roosevelt
which had so strengthened the party
that its candidate carried democratic
states like Missouri and shook the
solidarity of Texas.
What are the causes and reasons for
the danger in which the republican
party stands as confessed by the presi-
Dental candidate Sur denomination. 1t
is a fair question. The elements of
success and popularity remain. The
rank and file Of republicans have not
changed conviction. And this being
true and adnitter there is but one
place to seek its weakness. Perhaps
much of the WEAKNESS manifest In
the presidents Chicago az" ission
arises from the ascertained ki. ledge
that the rank and file are ready to
repudiate certain leadership.

autumn there go into Kent, Hereford

to pick hops thousands Of men, women

lead to occurrences bad and god, but
chiefly bad.
The Hop Pickers' Union and the
Church Army send out evangelists and
social workers. and they report this fall
to have reached 124 different COM
pan.es. numbering 10000 persons.
Union and Army at first sent out

| people in christian and social work and
encourage them to go out as hop pick
ers. Thus while they pick hops and
earn money for themselves. they dis
cuss with other pickers elevating top
les, in some cases use Illustrations
from the gospels. At night they en-
ploy stereopticons. sometimes curtains
strung up between hop holes. organize
classes In singing. and distribute Cos

Hours OF work Of these pickers are
a. m. to p. m. and the work is hard.
In hop yards in these shires at least
! 10000 persons, some Of them Of very
questionable types. are at work for
three to four weeks, living in unusual
conditions In vans and tents. Men and
women seen once around hop bins are
rarely seen again, but the police say
that the missions to the hop pickers
have much improved behavior and de-
creased arrests during the last few
years. Since many of the christian
workers themselves pick hops and pay
their way. much religious work is ac-
conplished on budget of about $4,000

How much has thep resident accom-

ROOSEVELT ATTACKS TREATY.
Turkish. italian War Used a. Shining
Example Of Arbitration Plan.

New York, Nov. 3.-Theodore Roose-
Welt fired another broadside at Presi-
dent Tafts arbitration treaty. 1t Is in
the shape Of an editorial In the Out
look under the caption. Arbitration
Pretense and Reality" He intimates
that the whole treaty business Is
sham and q snare and then declares
that should such treaty as is pro-
posed with England and France be
adopted and lived w to it would he
wicked: il broken 1t would be a
shame" The editorial says in part:
Surely the real friends Of peace In
this country ought to be able to profit
by the events that have happened In
China and In the Mediterranean during
these very fall months. since the arbi-
tration treaty was considered In the
senate. During these months we have
seen widespread revolt In China. with
utter Discrimination Of the empire. and
We have seen war Unexpectedly break
out between Italy and Turkey.
This war proves the utter ineffi-
cheney Of paper treaties wi en- they are
unbacked by force: the utter folly OF
those who believe that these paper
treaties accomplish any useful purpose
in the present stage Of the worlds
development when there Is no force be-
hind them, and, finally. not merely the
folly, but the iniquity OF making treat
les which there Is no real intention OF
putting into effect. Turkeys treaties
with various European powers explicit
ly guarantee her integrity. and on the
mere technical localities Of the case
no court OF arbitration in the world
could possibly declare in any other way
than as against Italy and for Turkey
II the case at issue between them were
brought to arbitration. Turkey has all
the protection possible to give her by
paper treaties. and yet all OF these
treaties thus guaranteeing her against
dismemberment, thus pledging the hon.
or OF various great nations to guaran-
tee her integrity, are not worth as
much as a single gunboat Of the small
est size the minute that 1t becomes
worth while for any serious opponent
to attack her. If Turkey had had
fleet which relatively to other fleets
was even approximately as strong as
her army, no man Of any sense believes
that the war would ever have occurred.
She had no such fleet: she had merely
the protection the treaties afforded her.
and the minute the test came the trea-
ties proved not only utterly iHeuiAi
cient as a substitute for a navy, but
not worth the paper upon which they
are written. In passing be 1t observed
| that this was quite as much because
:he treaties promised too much as for
any other reason.
1T would be not merely foolish. hut
wicked for us as a nation to agree 10

vital interest or our independence OF
our honor: because such an agreement

mart to abandon our duty, TO an agree

O'CONNOR AND DUNN.

Ed Dunn. of Mason City. and Frank
O'Connor, of New Hampton, are after
the nomination by the democrats for
governor. OConEor has been travelling
about the state in the interest OF his
candidacy and Dunn is reported active.
Each expresses himself in sangutne
vein. OConnor was floor leader Of his
party in the house in the last legisla-
ture and gained some conspicuous
p''blicity thru the press at that time.
Whether there was sl stematic effort
TO make him loom large and constant
~ in the public eye with a view to
candidacy for governor, does not APP
pear.
O'Connor. as candidate, will have
the weakness and strength Of those
known as safe and sane" In a way
he is strong because he is the instru-
Inent by which it is intended to beat
Dunn. The latter would have been the
candidate by common consent, accord
| ing to democratic advices, If he had
not been for Clifford Thorne, the re-
| publican candidate for railroad COM
missioner, when the railroads sought
by every means to defeat, because they
regarded him as a dangerous man.
| On account of Dunn's progressive
tendencies, O'Connor is likely to make
more fetching appeal to the interests
generally and to the reactionary re-
publicans who might, for any reason
state or national, support a democra,
for governor, as they have admittedly
done in the past.
Dunn is not disposed to surrender
however, without night. and It 10 more
than probability there will be ar
open battle. in the press and on the
hustings, between these two candidate.
and the ideas they represent, before thu
primary vote 10 cast.

Mr.. Archer did not suppose there were
any hornets in the old nest, but We'd

bought real summer had come, for
