INGnAM MUCH DrscUsTED.

We have notion that Harvey Ing
ham, editor of the Register & Leader
and also the Evening Tribune, is the
most thoroughly disguised man in Iowa.
And we do not blame him bit for that
kind of feeling. Some years ago when
the progressives in Iowa needed big
organ and somebody that knew how to
turn the crank 50 as to grind out pro-
gressive music seven days in the week
and all the year round, Uncle Harvey
assumed the task; and both friends and
enemies of Mr.. Ingham will agree that
he has not only furnished an organ, but
a brass band that has been on duty every
day of the year since that time. Now
when the first real test has come the
leaders have taken to the woods and
left Harvey and his musicians playing
To deserted street. Read what follows
taken from the Tribune:
WHEN PUT TO THE TEST.
The insurgents in congress have GER
tainly cut curious figure.
When the president was over with
Aldrich and Cannon they made the
heavens resound with their outcries.
Their professions were many and loud.
But the moment the president comes
to their ground and tries to do what
they have been preaching they take to
the woods like lot of scared jack
rabbits.
The vote of the Iowa delegation is
a strange commentary on ten years of
the Iowa Idea.
We can understand the satisfaction
Captain Hull took in swiping the bill.
We can believe Major Lacey would
have enjoyed being there. But what
Good, Picket, Woods, Kendall, Haugen
and the others were thinking about
passes understanding.
Even Hubbard. who finally voted
right spoiled his record by coming out
in an interview on the other side.
If Washington reports may be
credited the senate insurgent will do no
better.
Has LATE Young's campaign buffaloed
the whole progressive movement? Has
all the blood of Iowa insurgency settled
in its bootsg
The only thing to do in all fairness is
to apologize to the president. 1t is no
wonder he did not want to tie up with
the insurgent leaders at the opening of
his administration.
He got left ON Aldrich and Cannon,
but he had to take chance one way or
the other.

The production of "An Aristocratic
Tramp" at the opera house on Monday
night was witnessed by a well filed
and very appreciative house. The play
was one of the best that has been pro
duced in this city for some time and
each character was well placed and
carried by artists of rare ability. They
carry the best small band it has ever
been our pleasure to hear. Should the
Angler Bros. ever come our way again
we can assure them packed house.

We had expected to comment upon
the question presented so ably and
clearly in this article but that must be
left for next issue. But just one word.
The first question that will come to the
mind of the tax payer is. How much
wculd library tax add to what / am
now payings We answer just divide
your present tax by 80 and that will
give the amount. If you are paying
SIS now it would add just fifty cents.
If you are paying $50 it would add just
one dollar a year.

Audubon soon to speak from her unlim-
tied experience on establishing Iowa Ii
braries At this time a mass meeting
will be called to consider the tax, and
also the gift of building from Mr.. Car
negie. Judge Green is already I'm com
munication with the secretary and hopes
to have some definite promise from him
to present at the mass meeting. If a
tax is voted on the customary two mill
basis, this will mean a gift Of about
$4,000. By examination of other Carne-
gle library buildings in several towns
about the size of Audubon, the club be-
lieves that this will erect building of
two stories, the main floor consisting of
a main reading room, childrens room,
a librarians Office and some closets. The
second story to be finished as an audito-
rum for various sorts of meetings.
Rockwell City, town of 1900 people,
has a similar building well heated,
lighted and with good plumbing, with
q further convenience OF a cemented
basement in which was partitioned of
fees for the school board, the town
council and a large room for childrens
assemblies.
Iowa has now about ITO free public
libraries. almost every county in the
state possessing one, and a few of them
two. Conditions in Audubon seem fav-
orable towards securing one, consider
ing Mr.. Carnegie's gift can be conf
IDENTIFY counted upon, land which may
not always be SO easily secured, as the
sympathies and gifts of this great phil
anthropist are being directed from Ii
braries to peace offerings) and to this
may be added the property of the Col
umbian Club making for it an unusually
good institution.

CRITICISM DISGUISED
BY PRESIDENT TAFT

WASHINGTON. Dec. 3.-That
President Taft fred ae broad sid
against the insurgent opposition to
the administration in his interview in
the Outlook. is the concensus OF opin-
ion Of politicians. and members of
Congress here.
Disguised as a review Of the work
Of his administration. the interview is
declared to be really forceful declara-
ton OF hostilities against the new par
ty. In view of the fact that President
Taft has been counseled by many Of
his friends to steer middle courx~
this action has caused widespread sur
prise. His implied statements that to
the insurgents belongs the blame for
failure OF many executive measures,
and for undesirable accomplishments
during his administration are penned
in far more bitter vein than his
amiable tolerance OF the part played
by the Democrats.
Replies to these statements are ex-
pected to appear in print. and be heard
from the floors of the House and Sem
ate from the insurgents who do not
see INTO be much disturbed by the in
terview.

Now that contestants are on the

it will be necessary for each and every

Decline in American Tobacco Stock Falls to Low
Mark for Year-Standard Oil and
AMis-Chalmers Weak.

New York, Aug, 2-American shares
advanced in London market to-day, and
there was no notable decline in this
market until it was announced that the
directors Of the American Tobacco Com
pany had passed the quarterly dividend
on the common stock, which at the cor
responding period last year was declared
at the regular quarterly rate of 2 l-2 per
cent, and Z 1-2 per cent extra. American
Tobacco stock at once broke sharply on
the curb market, and on the stock eX-
change weakness developed in all classes
Of securities, activity greatly increased
and stocks sold off softly until the close.
The decline in American Tobacco COM
mon took the stock to 364, new low rec
ord for the year, and a price comparing
with the high record OF b20 reached at the
top of the impulsive movement preceding
the Supreme Court decision. The stock
rallied from the low price, but closed
with a net loss of twenty points on the
day. Trading in it has seldom been more
active, and seldom have larger blocks
been offered. Obviously, stockholders
were alarmed over the passing of the
dividend.
Standard OIL shares were also weak to-
day. and transactions in them were more
than usually numerous, but most of the
sales were in small lots and prompted,
fairly attempt to appraise the value of
the company in the subsidiary compa-
nies to be distributed among Stockhold-
ers of the dominant company. For that
matter. no independent stoCkholder has
ever been able to appraise the value of
the dominant company's assets.
Apart from the weakness in American
Tobacco and Standard Oil securities. the
stock market was affected by an abrupt
break in the securities of the Allts-Chal-
mers Company. The per cent bonds
sold from 73 1-2 to 70 and the common
and preferred stocks lost , and points.
respectively, on the day. The earnings
of the company have not permitted pay
ment of dividends. but with bonds selling
at 90 common stock at 6 l-2. and pre-
ferred stock at % 1-2 1t would seem that
whatever adverse trade conditions have
been encountered have been discounted
in the market.
The weekly reviews Of the steel trade
papers were again favorable. According
to the Iron Trade Review, in mill opera
tons and sales OF finished products July
made a better showing than June, and
the opening days of this month give
promise of still further Improvement.
The tenor of reports from steel selling
and producing centers." said the Iron
Age, is still favorable"
