the ADMINISTRATOR VI HOF. NuM-
Minis.
AS Taft victory the adoption of
reciprocity is the neatest and clean
est that ever has been scored. This
newspaper is not fond Of the bill.
but it likes the resourcefulness with
which President Taft fought the
fight, and the thoroughness with
which he has frazzled the inconsist-
ent insurgent opposition.-Sioux
City Journal.
This being the situation, the Jour.
nal should in the future be more
delicate in denunciation of republi-
cans for playing with the demo-
crats.' President Taft owes his VIC
tory to democratic votes, as major
ity of the republicans in both
branches of congress were against
the presidents reciprocity program.
The fact that he secured democratic
support does not initiate against
him, in the judgment of the Free
man-Tribune, ut the Journal and
other newspapers of its ilk have pro-
tested vehemently in the past when
republican even accepted support
of democrats, that is if the republic
can happened to be progressive.
The reciprocity incident" has at
least thoroughly frazzled the stand
patters who have pretended to be-
lieve that no good republican could
accept aid and comfort from demo-
Gratis. Mr.. Taft not only accepted
democratic support, but he sought
support wherever he could get it..
And he did right, if he believed sim
cerely in the thing he was advocat
ing.
If President Taft could take At
torney General Wickersham out and
let him gnaw his tag off, it would
be blessing. The public has new
er had faith in Wickersham. He
was an attorney of the trusts. You
cannot take a lawyer who has serv-
ed the trusts for twenty years and
make trust buster" out of him In
two years. This is especially true
of corporation attorneys who ad-.
here to their corporation associates
and meet them at the clubs. Presi
dent Taft has done many good
things He could do another good
thing by parting with Wickersham.
The public is after Wickersham and
it is surprising that the public has
not been after him before.-Des
Moines Capital.
What the Capital says of making,
or rather of failing to make, trust
busters" out of attorneys who have
served corporations for twenty
years is true as general PROPOSE
ton, but there are exceptions. 1t
would be more difficult to make d
trust buster" out of an editor who
has served the corporations nearly
all his life, especially after he mas
arrived at the age of sixty-three
years. Some corporation editors
might be big enough to throw off
the yoke when chosen to fill public
Office, but they are mighty few and
far between. It is doubtful II one
such lives in Iowa. Certainly no
one will claim that such phenom-
enon can be found among the promi-
nent corporation editors of the
state.

The Hampton Chronicle is Of the
opinion that Warren Garst would
make a better run for governor be-
fore the primaries next year than
he ever did before. Possibly the
Chronicle concludes that Mr.. Garsts
stand for Canadian reciprocity
would help him in a contest before
the people. However that may be,
it is not likely that Mr.. Garst will
ever be candidate again.

The value of a bushel of wheat
will be determined next year as this
year and as it has been determined
with few exceptions for fifty
years, by the Liverpool market, and
Canadian reciprocity will have
nothing to do with it. Iowa has
competed with Canada for years and
she will be doing nothing new when
she completes with Canada next
year. At least that is the record
according to market quotations. OF
course there are brief periods when
the general law of supply and de-
mand is upset and may temporarily
affect prices to the advantage of
American farmers, but as rule the
price is. regulated in the world S
market and will continue to be so
regulated in the years to come. AT
least until much less wheat is pro-
duced in the United States than
now.

While electric lights for motorcycle

The whole attachment is about the

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. March lS.-

tens for motor cars, has offered $1,000
cash for the pilot winning the o00-mlie

Indianapolis motor speedway May ~,

This offer is the first of the number
expected from the accessory makers and
which will swell the $4,000 purse of

small fortune for the victors, prob
ably about $4,000 in all.
The electric company has long main

Practice of Advertising Win

The theory of the food expert that

been put into practice in the automobile

To be shown plainly TO the public, as
dictated in recent ruling of the A. A,
A. contest board, Now the purchaser
of an automobile can really know
whether the car he buys is Identical
with the stock chassis that wins speed
way or road race.
While the revision of the racing rules
and regulations was not carried Tar
enough to be entirely effective still it
is more satisfactory than the old way
of racing particularly speed model of
ancient vintage or one yet to be built,
and advertising its performances as
that of the current issue. Under the
old system the public gets the wrong
| impression While the victorious racer

lin is not. as cars of that model are not
| in the market.
Although the new system docs not
make it compulsory for the manufactur-
er to come out frankly and give the
year the competing car was made, It
amounts to virtually the same. Each
racing car will be re"istered and given
a number which il viii hold for the life

/ will he gone over and numbers assigned
10 all cars that are in the racing game.
While the details are not yet decided.
the idea is to arrange the numbers
serially as TO the year of manufacture
so the public can recognize the vintage
lof any car readily.
This arrangement will make the new
ruling immediately effective. BY re-
lfcrring to these numbers the prospective

At its inception the run was some
thing less than 1000 miles and over
eastern roads. which. taken as a whole,
offered but slight obstacles TO the mo-

WHEN L0BSTERS WERE CHEAP
In OLD Maine Days So Bought Several
Hundred as Feed for
the Pigs.

The lobster was not always the
aristocrat of the supper table and
the most costly of delicacies. A man
who used to live in Maine, but now
lives in Ohio, has this reminiscence,
according to a writer in the Cleve-
land Leader:
One day here in Cleveland 1 took
a friends out to luncheon and sud-
denly the old appetite for lobster
came back to both of us, as we were
both born on the Maine coast.
We had two full portions and the
bill was So. And yet as boy I've
seen my father standing on the wharf
bargaining with fisherman for his
lobster catch of the day, and often,
for So, I've seen the lobster fisher
man turn over to my father the en-
tire catch and the whole boatload-
ESQ or 800 big, black Holsters, per-
haps-would be dumped on the land
ing and taken back on our old farm
as feed for the pigs. 800
