Amid all this grooming Of candi-
dates for state offices before the
primaries of next June, there seems
to be no mention of opposition to
State Auditor Bleakly for renomina-
ton. The fact of the matter is that
Auditor Bleakly is recognized by all
classes as one of the best state Off
cials Iowa ever had. There is no
grand-stand about him, but he moves
steadily along, attending to every de-
tail of his arduous duties, hewing
close to the mark in everything, on
the square with everybody, a big
hearted, sincere, manly, efficient Off
cial. He is not man OF words, but
of deeds, and we are glad to note the
tendency again in the republican
party to seek for efficiency rather
than for favoritism in public officials.
Bleakly will probably be renominat-
ed without opposition, and he ought
to be.

Attorney General Cosson has had
a great many inquiries about the
method of controlling the places
where the road funds are to be spent.
He has written an opinion in which
he holds that the trustees have dis
cretion in the matter, but that it is
mandatory upon them to designate
which districts shall be dragged,
which must include all mail routes
and all mainly travelled roads within
the township" If the men in charge
of the road dragging fail to do this
they may be subject to indictment or
removal.

The little affair between Italy and
Tripoli is doubtless very distressing
to Mr.. Carnegie, just as he seemed to
be getting along very nicely with his
plans for universal peace. However,
it is a pretty good demonstration of
the need of doing something to stop
wars and substitute arbitration. The
directions of the King of Italy to
shed as little blood as possible"
seem to indicate that he is with Mr..
Carnegie at heart, and as soon as he
shall have finished this job he may
join the Peace Society.

TAFT ON COURTS.
President UphOlds Supreme Court
and Condemns Trusts in
Idaho Speech.

| In a speech before the Chamber of
Commerce of Pocatello, Idaho, Fri
day, President Taft bitterly assailed
the critics of the United States su-
preme court and asserted anew his
view as to the relation of government
to business.
Il love judges, and i love courts, {"
said the president: They are my
ideals on earth, that typify what i
shall meet afterwards in Heaven un-
der just God, and when a court is
doing its duty, when it is trying to
interpret the law, as it ought to read,
to have it condemned and attacked,
and its motives questioned for politi-
cal purposes without any solid
ground for attack, that goes to my
heart and I resent it with deep in
dignation."
Mr.. Taft spoke with far more feel
ing than he put into his Detroit and
Waterloo speeches, but along the
same line. He said he had received
many criticisms of the point but as
yet had failed to receive an answer
to his challenge to w. J. Bryan and
other public men. to cite a single
statement Of combination of restraint
OF trade which ought to be condemn
ed and which would not be condemn
ed under the supreme courts inter-
pretation of the antitrust in the
Standard Oil and tobacco trust.
What distinguished this country
from any other one," said the presi-
dent, sis the supreme court that we
have in Washington that oft has
stood between us and errors that
might have been committed, that
would have been greatly Injurious to
this country and to turn upon that
court and to question it's motives and
to attack it seen/ to me to lay the
axe at the root of the tree of our
civilization.
Mr.. Taft referred to the supreme
court disposal of the Standard Oil
and Tobacco cases as two great de-
cisions.''
"They were two of the greatest
trusts that existed and in the work
ing out of the DEGREES the court had
to make a remedy. The Standard
Oil company presented all the phases
of all the legality and criminaliryi
necessary to establish monopoly at a
time when they did not feel the me-
cessity for concealing their methods |
or their motives.
The Tobacco trust represented an
organization made in anticipation of |
the operation of the law, helped out |
by the advice of cunning lawyers, in |
order to avoid its operation. But |
against them both the DEGREES of the
supreme court has been pronounced"
Mr.. Taft said it was unfortunate |
that the country had gotten into
condition that required a remedy like
this, a remedy of any evil" he added, |
was bound to produce for a time, |
not business disaster, but a difficult !
situation that might make business

new ELECTRIC L|NE|
Another Project to Construct Inter
urban From Twin Cities
to DecOrah.
INTERURBAN CONSTRUCTION CO..
Prominent Citizens of Rochester,
Hastings and Other Minnesota
Cities Behind Electric Project
Already Building This Way.

With all the electric interurban
lines chasing after Decorah as a ter
minal or division point, surely the
next two or three years ought to
bring us fine through line of inter-
urban electric railway to the Twin
Cities.
The Dan Patch Air Line is rapidly
building towards Decorah. They
have been operating trains between
Minneapolis and Northfield, forty
miles, for some time, and during the
summer the work of grading has
been pushed forward rapidly, so that
now the line is graded within three
miles of Faribault, with the prob
ability that trains will be running to
that city before the first of the year.
Then next year it will be pushed on
to Owatonna and perhaps to Roches-
ter, and the next step is Decorah.
Several weeks ago this paper an
nounced the forming of the Twen-
tieth Century Transportation Com
pany, with headquarters at Pierre,
S. d., to build a double track cleo
trio railroad from Chicago northwest
through Elgin, Rockford, Platteville,
Bloomington and Wisconsin points,
across the Mississippi to Decorah,
then to Chatfield, Zumbrota, Cannon
Falls, Minneapolis, 420 miles. Then
the Twin Cities & Dakota Southern
to build to Watertown, Pierre and
Rapid City, S. d.. 600 miles.
Now comes another enterprise,
and one which looks like business.
1t is operating under the name of the
Interurban Construction Company,
with offices at st. Paul and Hastings,
Mimi. 1t proposes to build from st.
Paul to Rochester via Hastings, Can
non Falls and Zumbrota, and then
to Decorah. almost straight line
north and south. Senator A. T. Steb-
bins of Rochester is president of the
company, Edw. Feldhauser of Lake
City vice president, John Heinen, a
prominent Hastings banker, secre-
tary, and w. l.. Sonntag, an eXper-
fenced railway construction man
from Indiana, general manager
There was another company organ
lied to build through Redwing and
Lake City, but this has been con-
solidated with the Interurban Con-
struction Company, and both are
now working together. They claim to
have capital behind it. and have al
ready commenced grading, having
completed about five miles out of
St. Paul The officers of the COM
pany are men of standing in their
respective communities, and they say
that they intend to put their best
efforts behind this enterprise and
will complete the line as soon as it
is possible to build it.
Let them come. Surely out of all
this expenditure of time, effort and
money Decorah will within a short
time get an interurban line to the
Twin Cities. We think nothing could
help Decorah more than this, and
our people will be glad to assist the
first company that will build into
this city. With three lines centering
here We would be some pumpkins,
wouldn't We?

Editors Note-The editor of
this paper has prevailed upon
his father, Rev. H. H. Green,
d. D., to write an autobiogra-
ply of his life, to be preserved
as a matter of record among
his children and grandchildren.
While 1t was written with no
intention of being made public,
yet his life has been filled with
such varied experiences, dating
from his birth in England, boy
hood, soldier, clergyman, legis-
lator, etc., that we find much
which we believe will be read
with interest by the public. and
we will therefore from time to
time as space permits publish
sections of this autobiography,
should II prove of sufficient in
terest to continue.)
