THE R. AND |. PREDICTS DISASTER.

INc LIES &MOlucS Register duO AedUcr
which is for Taft and has been inclined
to adverse criticism OF Senator Cum
minis is much alarmed over the bell
gerent attitude Of the president and
his proposal to come west with fire
and sword. The Des Moines paper
foresees in the proposed anabasis Of
$4,000 miles Of personal canvass for
denomination little but disaster for the
president and the party. 1t says pref
ty plainly In effect that il Taft had
sufficient ability he might carry the
character but its manifest conclusion
is that he has neither the oratorical
ability nor capacity necessary for the
job he has set for himself or which has
been set for him.
II the president were a very much
cleverer politician than he is, says the
Register and Leader, ard gifted with
the powers OF persuasion of Premier
Laurier or Mr.. Bryan, the course an
nounced for him would be suicidal. II
he were clever politician, or had even
studied Influencing the public judg
ment, he would not think Of such a
course. President Taft will make
a fatal mistake II he comes into Iowa
to carry the war into the enemy's

take II that is his purpose Of visiting
the middle west. President Taft was
never so much in need Of competent
adviser as he is now wnen things have

is a ray of light breaking thru the
clouds Of the 1912 horizon.
Moreover the Register and Leader
makes It plainly apparent that it has
no sympathy with the proposal to di-
vert the travelling expense account Of
the presidential office into a personal
campaign fund and budget of fac
tional and personal reprisal. It points
out that
The people have never yet become
quite adjusted to the notion that the
president should conduct a party cam
paign on a tour for which congress
provides the money. The president Is
recognized much more than formerly
as q party leader, and Is coming to
hold much more the position Of Brit
ish prime minister. But parliament
does not provide campaign expenses
for tn prime ministers, and 1t will be
harder and harder to explain just why
IN this country the people should pro-
vide yearly fund Of $4,000 II the
money Is to be used in carrying war
into the states or districts Of opposi-
ton congressman and senators.
The Register and Leader is correct
In Its conclusions and justified in its
fears. Taft coming west with the rod
OF discipline in pickle for the farmers

The great founder of the christian

In other words, the great founder OF

Do not worry. 1t reduces your power

TWENTY THOUSAND ARGUMENTS
burlington Hawkeye.]
AS near as the state authorities in
Des Moines have gotten to it, there
must be 10000 automobiles in Iowa
There are thirty thousand arguments
for better roads, for the best roads
that can be built And they are a-gu-
ments that are !rrefutable ard that are
constantly being repeated. And as the
roads are improved here and there, the
number of machines will increase and
the argument will grow ever stronger
and will become so insistent that the
demand will no lorger be denied.
There may be quite number Of
people in Iowa today who have strong
prejudices against the auto. They will
get over these prejudices, just as soon
as they become auto owners and event
ually practically everybody. in Iowa
will own a machine of some sort. But
it is incredible that there should be a
solitary advocate of good roads among
the enemies Of the machine. For the
auto has done more for the cause of
good roads than had been done by a
quarter of century Of speeches and
resolutions.
The more autos we get In Iowa the
sooner the state will be gridironed with
good roads, and the sooner Will Iowans
discover that there is very much OF In
terest and of beauty to be discover ed
right here at home in their own state

PETER GRIMM A MEMORY
Cincinnati Critic Compares Belasco
Play and Oliphant Novel.
m Teleeraph 10 M TrIhune. !

Cincinnati, Feb. 10-Louis Hillhouse, a
dramatic critic. asserts In his newspaper
to-day that David Belascos play. THE Re-
turn of Peter Grimm" now being played
by David Warield in Chicago. is similar TO
Mrs. OHphants novel. "Old Lady Mary; a
Story Of the Seen and Unseen" which was
published in "Blackwood's Magazine
QIdnburg and London in January. 1884.
THE Return of Peter Grimm represents
a deceased old Dutch gentleman returning
10 this life and correcting his mistake OF
insisting upon the plghtng of the troth
of his ward to his nephew. In "Old Lady
Mary" the same thing happens, although
II is a woman who returns. Hillhouse as
serts that Peter Grimm is just such a
character as was Lady Mary" DIR. An

Younger Mary" in the story, and Will

Little Connie" in the book.

younger Mary" that things which she
manned out before she died were To be
changed. In the play Peter Grimm re-
turns to tell his ward that she must not
wed his nephew.
Hillhouse does not accuse Mr.. Belasco OF
plagiarism. giving as one reason the con-
tention between Belasco and Cecil Demliie
over the ownership OF the plot

THE UNI0NISTS AT SEA
Apparently Unable to Agree on
Plan to Save Lords.

London, Feb. 10.-The Unionist leaders
in Parliament apparently have been un-
able to agree on lines of action in oppo-
sition to the governments policy. On
the eve of the meeting of Parliament. it
was intimated that Lord Lansdowne, the
leader of the Opposition in the House of
Lords, was ready to introduce bill for
the reform of the upper house. while
to-day THE Times" said that the Union
ist leaders had decided that 1t would be
undesirable to introduce such a bill.
Both these statements lack confirmation
in responsible Unionist quarters.
Lord Curzon. of Kedleston, In a speech
to- night. deprecated the presentation of
a strife provoking veto bill at a moment
when preparations for the coronation
were being made and urged the i'm
portance of both parties seeking to ar
rive at a permanent settlement OF the
problem-not solution which the oppo-
site party would endeavor to repeal. He
openly referred 20 the imminence of the
reform of the House of Lords, and sug-
gested lines on which such action should

ANGRY CORNELL GOODS
Ignored by Men Students, Have
Dance of Their Own.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune.

Ithaca, n. Y. FEB. 10.-Because they
were shamefully ignored by the men
who attended the junior promenade to-
night, Cornell co-eds had a dance Of
their own in the Sage College gym
nasum.
OF about four hundred women students
in Sage College only FIVE were asked by
the men students to participate In the
box parties at the junior promenade.
Other girls, numbering about a thou
sand, are here from all parts of the
United States, making merry, and were
treated as queens at the society event.
The co-eds just would not stand for it,
and accordingly got up dance OF their
own. The chairman of the arrangement
committee is Miss Ada NJ. Harrington,
of Brooklyn, a Junior in the arts course.
