MAKING AN EMPEROR

With all the pomp and snow that
the princes of India can give SUCH an
occasion, with the salute of 10l guns in
honor of the royal guests. Delhi yes1er-
day inaugurated the opening OF the
durbar with magnificent welcome TO
the king and queen of England. Brit
aims magnificent soldiery. the proud
and gaudy regiments Of native troops,
milan potentates and their retinues,
eovernre nt officials and foreign rep
resents. in their tinsel and gold lace
presented a picture Of unsurpassed
splendor. Equipages Of native prin-
res. emblazoned with gilded coats Of
arms, Wed with each other in splendor
as they passed thru the states TO the
railway station to meet the royal par
" on its arrival from Bombay.
The durbar Of Delhis an event OF a
life time for the Indian potentiate. Ac-
customed az he is to fuss and feathers
this great event is of such moment
that it causes the native blue blood TO
make every effort 10 Guido itself in
the splendir OF his habit, his equip
page and his suite.
The durbar will thrill the British
empire. 1t will represent the expendi-
ture of millions Of dollars. Why all the
fusso They are making an emperor for
starving China. Even starving India
must have a good, kindly emperor to
watch and guard their welfare, 70 COL
lect their taxes, to form magnificent
armies, to protect their princess. and
to lend glamour to their royal govern
ment.
While this magnificent spectacle is
going on the world will forget the
wretched and the wretched will forget
their Indebtedness. On the day Of
ramp and ceremony the starving beg
gar must hide his naked body and for
get his gnawing hunger. The pleasure
of the emperor. OF the empress, Of the
native princess and Of the dignatsries,
must not be nared by the sight Of
starving children and wretched men
and women.
The sanity old world Of the TWEEN
tieth century hides herself n horror al
the picture OF the Roman despot who
made merry at the expense Of human
lives nineteen hundred years ago. Bul
the same old world turns her glasses
against Delhi TO see the making Of an
emperor, ard the scenery and the cos
sunes for the performance are paid
for with the blood of midas wretched
humanity.

HOW LONG?.


fort Dodge Chronicle1.
How long must the public continue
to pay express companies a profit OF 40
per cent a year on money that is not
Invested in the express business, ana
that exists in blue air only?
This is a question that the people
desire answered, and one that they
are beginning to become impatient
about, Judging from the ever-increas-
ing number Of communications on this
subject that are being received by
members Of congress.
Express companies ought to be per-
mitted to make a good liberal rate OF
interest on money actually invested,
writes an Iowa man to his congress-
man. 1.-The thing that arouses OUT dis
gust is that the government permits
the express companies to e1tort a pro-
fit Of from 25 to so per cent on a
capitalixation that is two-thirds wat
er. I would like to see q parcels post.

over"

from the express companies operation
is s11.0oo,000. and on their own valua-
ton OF 327,0oo.000 their profit II shown

TAFT IN THE HOLE,

It is becoming more and more evil
dent that the refusal OF President Taft
to declare himself fer or against the
presidential promary is going to react
upon the administration and admins
tration policies.
The republican national committee,
which will shortly meet in Washington,
will have an opportunity of definitely
accepting or rejecting the presidential
primary. This opportunity will appear
when the committee enters upon its de-
alterations and it is a foregone conclu-
sion that the reactionary element Of
the party, now in control Of the party
machinery, will balk at the idea. When
its decision is reached the effect will
be to c-ystalize the efforts Of LaFol-
lette followers turnout the country.

One of the charges relating to the

sherifYs and other officials giving pris-

prison. The Republican has letters
from prisoners claiming that men were

seemed almost beyond belief, altho
couple Of years ago the writer saw a
sheriff give a prisoner liquor OF some

Something of sensation was caus-
ed by the announcement Of the retire.
ment Of Marquis Barr, for several
years warden of the Anamosa reform
atory While no definite statement Is
made as to the cause Of Mr.. Bars re-
tirement. 1t is easily understood that
there is nothing that reflects on the
warden personally. The desire to have
a younger man at the head Of the in
stitution, possibly coupled with DIFF
ference Of opinion as to the manage
ment. are the probable reasons.
The Gazette has great admiration
for Warden Barr. Personally he Is one
of the finest Of men. Of strict integrity.
and with a great big heart. And most
naturally he has host Of friends.
When Marquis Barr quits the serv-
ice Of the commonwealth, one OF the
most conscientious men who have

THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE.

In 1910 for the first time in twenty
one years the democrats had ma
iority OF the state legislature in ONO.
Harmon having carried the state by
10000 plurality. This year the people
selected delegates to a new constitu-
tional convention. The party lineup In
that convention will be seventy demo-
Gratis, forty-flve republicans and four
Independents. AS the democrats must
have either Ohio or New York to carry
the election in 1912. it looks to man
UP a tree as if Harmon would be
pretty good man for the democrats TO
select. The people Of Ohio must have
confidence in him. We are told that
more radical democrat would be more
popular in Iowa and in some other
western states. But the trouble Is that
the radical states go republican with
yellow dog on the ticket. so why should
the democrats flirt with Iowa when
there is no earthly show Of carrying 1t?

1t may be true, as stated. that some

are misrepresenting his position on the
recall The truth is said to be that

judges" 1t is insisted that the COVER
nor took pains to make this clear
while he was in California, where the
recall OF judges is In popular favor.
Granting that those who are opposing
Governor Wilson are misrepresenting
his views on this matter. it must also
be conceded that there are those out
west who are favoring his candidacy
who are not actively engaged in setting
him right in this important particular.
Mr.. Tafts opposition Is much better
understood. and friends of Wilson have
availed themselves Of the fact in the
exercise of their energies to kill off
Mr.. Taft.
