Cosgrove, in his Weekly, says that the
man who takes the paper out of the post
Office for six months and then returns it
with the assurance that .'he does not
want it, does him an act Of .unremit-
ting kindness.
While this is a decidedly pleasant
pleasantly, there is also goodly portion
of philosophy in it, and it points moral,
because the country is full of these kind
of roosters. Six months? That's small
matter. We have known them to take a
paper out of the office regularly y-stand
around and watch the mails come in
50 they might get it promptly-for as
long time as two or three years, and
then, when bill was sent them, they
would simply turn it over and write on
the reverse side: Il did not order the
paper sent to me" Of course, these sort
of people are small and miserly-what
Longfellow denominates as men with

something for nothing they will take it
cheerfully and prize it highly. but the
minute they come to realize that they
can't get something for nothing, especi-
ally a newspaper. then, presto! the valves
of their Shylock hearts close with a flap
and they all but fall out dead The
world is full of these fellows, and the
subscription books of almost every paper
in the land contain a few of them. It
might be well for them to remember,
however, that

HOW WILL IT BE DoNE7


1t will take a united republican party
to pull President Taft thru in 1912.
How are we going to get 1t united?
The president does not seem willing
to make any overtures for peace.
There are too many republicans who
are saying that they don't care much
If democratic president is elected In
1912 Some of. them are prosressives
and some Of them are standpatters.
One Of the best republicans of this
city and a staunch standpatter said to
the editor of this paper yesterday that
he thinks 1t is time for a change and
he believes 1t would have a good ef-
feet to turn out the republicans and
put in democrat for president. We
were surprised beyond measure to hear
him say that he didn't know as he
would vote for Taft. He said he might
perhaps as he had never voted any
thing but republican ticket. The
thought Is that such mind among
many good republicans is likely to turn
things upside down next year 1t
should not be forgotten how Grover
Cleveland slipped in under the bars.

| When We como to the all important
matter Of electtng a president, we run
into difficulty with the federal govern
ment. We vote for president on
certain day. not because the state law
SO commands It. but because the .ieo.
eral law SO commands it. The teoeta'
constitution provides, in effect, tnat the
day on which we vote for president
shall be the same thruout the United
States and the federal constitution also
vests in congress the power to deter
mine that day. No state can determine

will be noticed. however, that we nave

and tie day on which we hold our
state, district, county and township
election, as ordered by the state con-
s.tution, is the same The amendment

1854. was evidently. for the purpose OF
bringing about this harmony. If con-
gress could be induced to change the
| federal law by fixing on Monday for
the presidential election. turnout the
United States, then Iowa would,
doubtless. change her constitution to
! harmonic Herewith. Such action by
congress would clear up the entire diff
ficulty. On the other hand, If con-
gress will not make this change, then
we must continue to hold our presi-
Dental elections on Tuesday. In obed-
hence to the federal law. and the only
relief the state can give to the travel
ing men will be as the state. district,

ial years, we hold double election

state, district, county and township
officers and one Tin obedience to the
federal law on the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in November to vote
on president. This practice Of holding
two elections is now followed In two
or three states but such practice has
not by any means. met with general
favor.
1t will thus be seen that the propos-
ed change. apparently simple. is at
tended with considerable difficulty and
that the first change should start with
congress.
Respectfully,

A SPORT WHICH INSULTS INTELLIGENCE.

Newton held automobile racing yes
terday. 1t was the same old game of
playing jackstraws with death On a
narrow dirt track cut at the short turns
by skidding wheels one driver lost con-
troll of his wheel and went thru the
fence. The machine turned over and
over according to the testimony Of
spectators. The driver, however, es-
capped without fatal or even serious in
jury.
But it was lucky. The luck that seems
to attend the reckless favored the
driver. Luckily also no crowd was
gathered against the rails where he
went thru. So nobody was killed. But
it was just luck, plain bullheaded
luck
It wasn't so at Syracuse. It didn't
work at Indianapolis. Luck wasn't
with the drivers at Elgin. At these
places they hauled away the dead
amid the wailing of women and the
horror of the spectators. Luck doesn't
hold. Sooner or later somebody dies
in blood to satisfy the idiYtic mania
for speed which grows instead of di-
FINISHES. The automobile race on the
DIRT track is as fundamentally certain
to bring disaster as a circulating deci-
NAL is to recur at stated intervals in
division.
1t is time to stop this brutal and
bloody amusement. There is something
about it which insults intelligence.

munity is put in danger by one who
should most Of all protect 1t.
No. it isn't common. 1t isn't as
common as it was when physicians
were less fully equipped and when the
responsibility of the medical man to-
ward the community in general was
less felt and understood by those who
practice the most intimate and kindli-
est profession in the world. But it
does happen and it ought never to hap
pen.
The medical societies in every city
and section should insist on strict
adherence to the quarantine laws by
medical men and on failure should
furnish the proof to the officials whose
legal duty is to prosecute infractions
of the health protective laws.

THE PRESIDENT IN IOWA.

President Taft comes into Iowa to-
day, much to the pleasure Of the great
state between the two great rivers. Nc
other commonwealth in the union has
higher respect for his elevated office
and nowhere is he more welcome than
in Iowa.
Some of the newspapers supporting
President Taft as candidate for re-
nomination have referred to his visit
west especially into Kansas and Iowa
as an incursion into the enemSs
country" Kansas has spoken for her
self, Iowa Is not hostile country TO
the president Of the United States and
her reception of Taft will make this
clear. II there has been typographical
division into friendly and "enemy's
country the maps were drawn outside
of Iowa. President Taft will have as
good a time in Iowa as he had in Kan
sas where he is quoted as being de-
lighted with his reception Iowa knows
how to entertain a president as we'll
Sn0
There has been criticism Of Presi-
dent Taft In Iowa. 1t will continue
despite the pleasant sociability or mis-
visit If the presidential policy which
aroused and justified the criticism
shall continue. Iowa Is strongly pro-
xressive with insurgent trimmings

other thing can change that. But that
should not put Iowa on the Taft
drawn maps Of the Taft campaign as
enemys country unless the president
has changed greatly from the candi-
tate who came west with the Roose-
welt policies as his banner and genuine
tarf6 revision as his slogan to ask and
secure the hearty support Of Iowa IN
the last national republican convention.
Iowa hasn't changed. She is behind
the same policies and seeking the same
sort Of candidate that she was on that
former occasion when Candidate Taft
came west for a heart to heart talk.
It Is true that while President Taft
comes to Q hospitable state which de-
lights to honor the president, Candidate
Taft has much to explain in which he
will find difficulty. The hospitality is
tSward the president and the person.
not toward the candidacy. The fact is
that the Taft candidacy is weak in this
state and is endured rot welcomed.
That is the plain fact. 1t may be that
he may be able to outline future
policy which will change present con-
ditioRs but it will be hard for his
friends to rewrite the past.
At any rate he will find Iowa no hos
tile country. He will not find pro-
gressives beating drums as against
an invader but meet kindly
and hearty welcome and find attentive
ears ready to listen with interest tho
not with enthusiasm. But in Iowa as
in Kansas he will find voters Thoughtful
enough to know their own minds and
entirely competent to defend them
selves and their convictions.

THE MOTE IN THE DOCTORS EYE.

With all the sensible and valuable
advice and dicta which come from the
medical profession to the laity and
which should be given the full consid-
Grafton and credit it deserves as ex-
pert and humanitarian effort to create
and change conditions bearing on the
health of communities there is a mote
in the eye OF that profession which
needs the surgeon. In Chicago the
other day a girl affected with typhoid
had scattered the disease broadcast
from the diary operated by her family
and in which she was employed. At
least that was the conclusion of the
highest authority and it was decided
upon the same authority that her pres
ence in the home was dangerous to the
community il milk was to be peddled
out while she remained there. But her
family physician thought otherwise. He
had failed to take strict precaution.
He differed with the higher experts
and insisted that the girl should go
home again in the face of the special
ists' conclusion.
The mote referred to is the tendency
OF some physicians to favor their own
patients in the matter OF quarantine;
to set themselves over the law and

Hon. T. G. Whitney, member Of the
Iowa house of representatives from
Woodbury. county in a communication
printed herewith points out a very
substantial difficulty in the way OF
changing election day from Tuesday to
Monday as has been suggested by the
travelling men Of the state Mr.. Whit
ney's statement of the case will be
read with much interest by those es-
pecially interested in the movement by
reason Of their avocation and by the
public generally. His letter follows:
Times-Republican: The travelling
men of Iowa are asking that the Law
be so changed that general elections
will be held on Monday instead OF
Tuesday. I note your recent editorial
advocating this change, and your tnvi-
tation for any one to state valid rea-
sons against such change. I have nc
reasons against making the change ex-
cept as the difficulties surrounding
the matter may be reasons. Tuesday
is certainly most unfortunate day for
this large class OF voters, on which "a
hold an election. fully recognize the
business Of their position. I. for one
would be very glad TO assist, a. fal
as could. in making the change. but
| contrary to general belief. the matter
is surrounded by difficulties. The gen.
eral belief. which ought to be dispelled
seems to be that the next GonorAl an
sembly has power to change this whole
matter by enacting simple statute OF
three or four lines. such II not the
