THE MOVEMENT ANO ROOSEVELT.

TIE Boston Transcript explains tbs
victory of Foss in Massachusetts with
an explanation which explains, being
more a true statement Of fact than an
explanation when il SAYS:
1t is that there is a tide, current OF
movement in our life today in favor
of progressive policies and ideals. This
movement, embracing all parties, is the
most powerful force in America. There
is not a town or village in the whole
country which does not feel it. In
this state Eugene y. Foss has come &c
be its spokesman.
This is the thoughtful and observant
conclusion Of the extreme east. 1t is
& conclusion arrived at after the fact
for it is necessary for an idea or a
movement which originates west of the
Allegheny mountains to fight and force
its way beyond them. All the Tran
script says has beer true of the west
or village or an agricultural township
in the middle west in which it has not
been felt and in which it has become
the deepest motive of political action
on the part of the better class Of vot-
ers. 1t is a force against which the
politicians who are purely politicians
in the modern sense of the term must
struggle against only to certain fail
ure. 1t is more than a party disagree
ment. 1t is a manhood movement, ir-
resistable as a world change.
What viii it lead 10 or force upon
the parties next year? The Baltimore
Sun, a democratic newspaper which
favors Harmon's nomination perhaps
more thar any other democratic candi-
Gate prominently mentioned, fears
that:
1t may lead to the denomination of
Roosevelt. Mr.. Roosevelt has said he
will not run. But he can be made 10
run. If the convention can be held I'M
til the m arises, it will be an
easy matter to stampede it and nomi-
nate the colonel with a hurrah. The
"standpatte-s' DO not like Roosevelt,
but they like the kind of democrat vino
Will probably be nominated even less
If they are finally convinced that Taft
can not Win and that the choice is
between Roosevelt and a democrat
they will probably take Roosevelt.
With Roosevelt as the republican
candidate, the only chance the demo-
Gratis would have would be to nominate
a nan of progressive ideas who would
be a recognized leader of the great
popular movement TO which the Bos-
ton Transcript refers.
When the great movement is con-
sidered in connection with men ana
candidates Roosevelt's name is promi.
nent in polls or discussions. 1t is i'm
possible to disassociate it from poll,
cies which were the center of the
movement. Stranger things have hap
pened than are suggested by the Bal.
tilnore paper. When i great force Is
released suddenly it is hard to predic,
definitely the directions it may take.

GET BETTER ACQUAINTED.
lN1oncnn Io11racl1

The best thing that can happen to
two men is to get acquainted. Men
pass each other daily with an unde-
fined feeling of antagonism born OF
business competition. political opposi-
lion, some trick OF manner Dr. mode or
speech, who If they could be locked up
together twenty-four hours would come
out firm friends. Some one drops a
word and the ~tale-bearer. who is al
ways the busiest man in town and al
ways on the job. gets busy in his pc
culiar sphere. When men are &C
quainted in friendliness and knowledge
of each other this bone carrying scav-
enger loses the greater part OF his oc-
cupation.
The main thing is to get actually ac-
quainted. Non-acquaintance usually
sees the disagreeable features Of men,
Close acquaintance ncove the like
able traits. At n rate, it gives each
the necessary data to base a true es-
~oftenest agree oftenest. Nobody will

friends. Inquiry into the reason re-
veals that they have by some circum-
stance beyond their control, beer
forced into each others company. Per-
haps they have served upon a jury to-
gether or have been on a long triI
where they were forced to be sociable
or remain alone.
Half our troubles are the result Of
imagination. It seems q pity that &C
many should deny themselves the
pleasure of the very company they
crave because of some fancied wrong
or u%nintentional slight. We are only
here a short time at best and it seems
a pity that good people should waste
SO much Of this precious time In reed
less strife and senseless heartburns
Drop it all and get acquainted. If you
have made a mistake it will do yor
good to acknowledge 1t and possibly
the other party is only waiting for ar
opportunity to make amends.

church members. The majority OF the
railroad agents have by economy n
judicious Investments fixed themselves
for old age and could Quit now and not
go to the poor farm, but they have got
the habit and hardly take the vacation
the company allows them always pro-
vided they pay the wages Of the pro-
tenn substitute called extra men. There
are several worse jobs than being q

The motor cars run by the Chicago
Great Western between Clarion and
Mason City are q great convenience to
the travelling public, m the wonder 10
more Of them are not in use, as they
are generally ION time and operated
at a big saving over the regular pas
senger train. Officials of this road have
figured that II even four passengers are
continually In the cars for the entire
trip it pays running expenses. More
than all is the friendly feeling the pat
ron Of these cars have for tho Chicago
Great Western. These cars are PROOF
positive this railroad Is trying to ac-
commodate the public. Every word OF
the above could be written If the Chi
cago & Northwestern would stablish
q similar system between Ta.na II
Jewell. This branch Of the Chicago &
Northwestern goes thru a more thickly
settled country and would be a paying
aaffir from the start to say nothing OF
getting rid of the ugly feeling that now
exists in every town on this branch
road. To this can be added the Story
City Branch of the Iowa Central needs
this kind of a service and las sure as

fcials fail to see it, an electric car line
will go thru these own in the near
future. Both the Chicago & Northwest
ern and the Iowa Central are inviting
the building of such an electric road.

THE JEWS CITIZENSHIP.

No citizen Of the United States
should be able to complain with justice
that the protection of his government
does not follow him into the farther
most parts Of the earth. To be an
American citizen should be sufficient
guaranty of just n legal privilege in
any country. Behind the guaranty
should be the great country Of which
he is a part, to which he looks for pro-
lection of his rights and whose duty it
is to maintain them. a Roman citizen
was safe in the hands of every other
government. A British citizen, how
ever humble, bears the honor of his
country int every port and bulwarks
his common rights with the power of
the empire. The integrity of American
citizenship should be maintained
wherever organized government en-
dures.
But it Is not SO maintained. An
American citizen should be an
American citizen in Russia Or
elSeWlleIe, Whatever his IcIl5IOuS
faith may be, Jew, Catholic, or
Calvinist. A Jewish American IN
Russia must stink like a dog thru that
country where other American citizens
walk proudly in the consciousness of
their country's strength. And it is a
disgrace of American citizenship that
this is SO.
We have a treaty with Russia as
with other countries which mutually
guarantees the treaty rights Of citizens
Of both countries to sojourn and re-
side in all parts Of said territories. 1t
makes nc exceptions of race or creed
This treaty made in 1892 has been
generally violated by Russia during the
last generation. There is nothing in
the treaty which can give that country
the right to exclude any class or faith
Of Americans. But the Jews passport
from the country aof his adoption, and
perhaps Of his birth, is a meaningless
scrap Of paper in Russia.
The Jewish Council is entirely within
reason In it's demand that the treaty
with Russia be %abrogated or enforced
The. question Of our own carelessness
Of the preliminaries to citizenship is
not to be considered. No doubt there
are Hebrews who lack qualification;
out the statistics Of crime need not be
avoided by the Jew in comparison with
any other creed or class of Americans
The Jew is a good citizen, usually law
abiding, always thrifty, invariably self
supporting. But most of all in the con-
sideration Of this question he is ar
American citizen, part of the republic
as The nag is part Of the republic and
is not to be denied his rights and
trampled upon by any government or
the face Of the earth for that very
reason.

CUMMINS AND TAFT.
INevada Representative.1

lNeEaOa K~epreSenlatlNe. FL
The general expression is about what
what we should have expected from
Senator Cummins at what might ap-
pear to him to be the proper time. He
knows that the mass Of the republic
can party and the country generally
have very little use for President Taft
and that the party simply has to get
rid of the president or accept the con-
sequences of an overwhelming and GER
tain defeat. He knows too that there
are lots Of people that look upon him
self as a more available statesman with
whom to oppose the presidents re-
nomination than is Senator LaFollette,
and it is not to be doubted for a mo-
ment the he shares the common am
bition of every American publfcist Tor
the presidency. but he knows further
that for the opposition in the west to
the presidents denomination to be ef-
lfective it must be concentrated upon
one candidate and must not be palsted
by division between two or more can
didates, and he recognizes that as nat
tiers have come about the candidate is
L.aFollette. So the senior Iowa sena-
tor deals with the conditions as he
finds them. He keeps out Of the stu
alton any latent ambitions Of his own;
and he joins with LaFollette's friends
and mutual friends in making the

THE DIES MONIES COMMISSION.

THE DIES MONIES M1SolCN.
[Boone News Republican,
One thing is certain. n members
of the commission of Des Moine do
not lack in gall. They ere not sur
rounded by intense modesty, especial
ly the new chief Of police. They are
in a turmoil all the time. and n q
there is politics in their actions, no
one can possibly deny, but under the
commission plan, the officers are held
up to public judgment so sternly h a
it is not possible for them to become
lax ever for a short time. Public
pressure is so strong on these hVe
men tina they are continually making
moves for the betterment Of the city.
1t would be interesting to observe
how the Des Moines plan would work
if the people should elect five men
who are not continually wrangling
and doing the ~grandstand act before
the people. Des Moines is pretty well
governed now, and II 1t had five men
working in harmony under h COM
mission plan it would probably be-
come a municipal paradise.

President Taft has stood very we'll
the test of time. He was the man OF
all work under the Roosevelt admins
tration. He was more than a mere
lieutenant; he was in such relation
that 1t fell to him to take the initiative.
He reflected distinction upon the ad-
ministration with which he was asso-
ciated. This was not the part OF a
weak man-it was the part Of a man
of strength in his own right. The work
done by Taft in the Philippines and In
Cuba OF in Panama was work that
could not well be done from Washing
ton. It may be agreed that It vas
popular to serve under Roosevelt.
Even Roosevelt's own reputation was
protected from scandal by the fashion
Of the time. Not an insurgent in the
land felt hat It was polite to take is
sue with Theodore Roosevelt, and the

ISOLATION of Park Superintendent
opened in this city today parks are
to cities what lungs are to human
beings" Was the subject of an adj
dress by Henry D. Ashley, park COM
missioner of this city. Fresh air and
greenery for the poor in cities, to
whom such things are Injuries, was
the theme of the speaker in detail.
"Some wag has said that the only
thing the American Indian still owns
is Indian summer" said Mr. Ashley,
"but are we American pale faces
much better off, now that coal and
water are controlled by the trusts?
How long will it be before we city

what we get, plus the falsified weight

Mr.. Ashley spoke of the necessity
of planning early the identifying of
cities and pointed to Washington as
an example of excellence in city beau
tiful planning. Beauty of cities, he
said, was a spur to better morals
"The monotony of brick and stone"
Mr.. Ashley said, "of dirt, dust, etc,
the absence of colors which nature
paints, the lack of a breath OF fresh
air write despair on many a face and
emboss it on many a heart"

MANY DEMANDS FOR
MINED FEED TAGS

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 12.-Despite
tie fact that 215,000 tags for mixed
tseds, tax upon which must be paid
Ill accordance with an act of the last
legislature, have been delivered to
commissioner Sloan, all the demand
has not been supplied, and instead
of putting the feed act into force on
Aug 10, as was announced some
weeks ago, Commissioner Sloan has
been forced to put this off until Aug
ID. He hopes to have an unlimited
supply Of tags by that time, but so
far the printers have been unable to
keep UP with the demand, much less
get a supply ahead Commissioner
Sloan has ordered 100000 tags for
immediate delivery. He cannot en-
force the law rigidly if he has no
tags to sell the feed people who de-
eide to comply with the law and ex-
press a willingness to buy them.
commissioner Sloan has issued to
the feed dealers d circular letter set
ting forth exactly upon what they
will be expected to pay the tax. He
says a tax will be required upon all
mixed feed, and all ground or crack
ed feeds whether they are mixed or
not, with the exception of unadulte-
rated rye, wheat, corn, buckwheat
bran, shorts and middlings.
