CAN YOU EXPLAIN THIS?

Ten years ago pair of fve-pound
WOODEN blankets could be bought for
1918; today they cost S.. At that
time the price Of five yards of serge
cloth, so inches wide, was 1878; the
price now is 1928. Ten years ago
twenty yards of unbleached cotton
cloth could be bought for $1.2O; to-
day the cost is 1920. Five yards of
all wool flannel could be purchased
then for $2.75; the price now is
1925. Flour sold for $3.50 less per
barrel during the civil war than it
does now.-Booneville Advertiser.

Taft overturned the Canadian gov
eminent and drove the liberals from
power by his reciprocity but the Can
adian election won't be circum-
stance to what this country will do
to the party in power in 1912.-Cres-
ton American.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1911-10-05
HOW TAFT'S SPEECH WILL NOT
SOUND.

Mr.. Taft will begin his 200
speeches as follows: 1.-THE sugar
trust has increased the price of sugar
and the housewife gets several
pounds less for S1O0 than she did
some months since, but l am for the
sugar trust. My friend Senator Root
and the Mormon church own the
sugar trust, and they are supporting
me. Down with those opposed to the
sugar trust. "-Platte County Land
mark.

The supreme court may contend
that it does not make law, and the
president may sustain the supreme
court but it will remain true that
until congress acts it will be up to
the court to say what is reasonable
and what is unreasonable in combin
atoms which acquire power to re-
strain trade. A good many old fash
Toned judges contend that this is
court made law.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1911-10-05
DID GOOD THINGS THE WRONG
WAY.

The trouble with Taft is that the
good things he has gone after have
been of the wrong kind. Reciprocity
is good thing, but he wanted the
wrong kind. The same as to the
peace pact, his tariff board and his
tariff revision. He insisted upon
getting a kind that nobody else
wanted.-Kansas City Star.

The presidents appeal for uniform
divorce laws may have some enect
but first of all the people are going
q to divorce about forty trusts from
the protective tariff. III
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1911-10-05

Mr.. Taft has made blunder which
cannot be overcome. He has tied
himself beyond recall to tariff alb
surdities and tariff abuses. He has
welded his fate and the fate of his
party with that Of excessive protec-
ton, and together they must endure
or go down.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1911-10-05

There will be about 200,00O,000
people in this country by 1850,
thinks Mr.. Taft. If we had that
many now what a pretty little dem
5ocratic majority it would mean in
1912.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1911-10-05

AS for the Presidents assertion
that the American people will always
have enough to eat, they always will
Or know the reason why.

Bryan, the Patriot.

The Springfield Republican is not
afraid or ashamed to concede the in
luence of Mr.. Bryan in molding
opinion and in forcing Republican
administrations to take advanced po-
sitions on several big questions. We
quote:
Age has mellowed William Jen-
nings Bryan, not 70 speak of the
mitigating effect of the accept
ance OF his ideas that were once
fought with fiery bitterness. There
is both humor and truth in this
statement Of Mr.. Bryan made be-
fore the Boston City club: eff I
ever did think Of running again
for the presidency---and l do not
with these two men Roosevelt
and Taft carrying out so many
thing l have advocated, I am
afraid some Republican would
raise the third-term cry on me,
and say I had already had two
terms Of my policies" 1t is just
as well now and then for the un-
thinking to be brought face to face
with the fact that the man best
entitled to the copyright on my
policies" lives in Nebraska and not
in Oyster Bay, L I.
''No, Mr.. Bryan Is not a candidate
for the presidency, says The State.
"He may never be again, but the
bitterness and injustice still eXhib-
tied by numbers Of his opponents
in the East and few of their satel-
lites elsewhere will not affect the es-
innate of history IF his tremendous
influence for goou. In this genera.
tion no private citizen has made such
impress upon the American people;
indeed, we might say it had not been
done by another a the life Of the

4 GOOD WORD FOR THE TELE
PHONE GIRL.

A telephone user was "ifyoi-
pleased" and ''yes-sired" so politely BY
telephone operator that he called up
the manager and said good word
for the girl It was so very unusual,
be said.
Unusual y responded the manager.
Certainly the operators politeness ii
not more unusual than your own. J
have been In this business good
many years, and you are the first man
who ever took the trouble 70 say a
good word 10 me for an operator"
Il is no temper-soothing job-that
which the telephone girl holds.
She has to serve at once a grasping
Corporation at small wages and an ex.
acting public.
She is held responsible not only for
her own mistakes, but for the count
less mistakes made by other people
You roughly jar your telephone and
your nerves il she does not answer
instantly; you think she is teasing you
when she tells you the line you want
Is busy; you are furious over her stu
pidity when YOU get the wrong party,
and you never stop to think that she
IS probably doing twice the work that
the company should give, and that
maybe the lines are not In good shape
for perfect service, anyway.
She Is sadly mIsiudged girl. Her
work is difficult and her errors are
maryelously few. She has no time for
unnecessary words, though she is as
polite as the public VIII permit her to
be.
She knows that you never think Of
her service except when 1t goes wrong,
and never speak Of her except to
knock" Yet she patiently does the
best she can for yon. through long
hours and for poor pay.
Don't imagine that YOU are dlstin-
gushing yourself by complaining
against her Thousands have already
been ahead Of sou.
But say word IN her favor al the
right place, ard Won stand almost
alone with an approving conscience
