CORPORATION CONNECTIONS.

Senator Kenyon, speaking in de-
tense Of Attorney General Wicker
sham the other day, said that "it
does not destroy a mans conscience
TO be attorney for corporation. -
As a general proposition we believe
the senator is wrong. Attorneys who
spend years in defending corpora
items and looking after the legal in
terests of big combinations are In
fiuenced more or less by environ
ment. The late Joseph w. Blythe is
an illustration OF this. Mr.. Blythe
was one of the most gracious Of
men, lovable and personally pure,
yet he admitted, when Gov. Shaw
offered to tender him the United
States senatorship to I'LL the Gear
vacancy, that his legal associations
with the railroads untitled him fo-
service in the upper house of con-
gress. What was true of Mr.. Blythe
in this connection is true of the ma
jority of railroad attorneys. Yet
there are exceptions. The record
proves that some corporation attor-
neys who are called to positions Of
trust by the people have not had
their conscience scared by their SER
vice for the corporations. Senator
Kenyon himself is illustrative OF
this. So is Senator Cummins and
Attorney General Wickersham. The
late Tom Healy likewise demonstrat-
ed that his services as railroad at
torney did not influence him against
public interests in matters political.

If the people knowingly elect uu-
clean men to Office that is the peo-
pies fault and they are entitled 20
no immunity from the consequences.
But when the peoples representa-
tives in office knowingly appoint
men of questionable integrity and
character to stations of public trust
those responsible ought to be held
to strict accountability. Officials
clothed with authority to appoint
others to positions of service in the
goyernment--county state or nation
are not serving their constituents
faithfully when they appoint men
of unsatisfactory record. Other
things being equal it is but natur-
al that public officials appoint their

There are now some thirty thous-
and automobiles owned in Iowa and
the state collects about three hund-
red thousand dollars in taxes from
the owners. This money should all
be expended in road improvement,
which, with the funds secured In
the various counties. ought to make
il possible for Iowa to have roads In
fair condition during the wet sea-
sons of the year. 1t will not be long
until the number of autoes owned in
Iowa will reach fifty thousand and
there is no telling where the num-
Der will stop. Possibly not until
one hundred thousand is reached.

According to report ex-Secretafy
L. M. Shaw has predicted that be-
fore the end of President Tafts
term there will be more men idle in
America than there were at the be-
ginning of McKinley's term, and the
former secretary lays the response
bility at the door Of the trusts and
combinations that are maneuvering
to control the labor market and dc
tate terms to workingmen. Mr..
Shaw is a shrewd man Of affairs and
what he says is entitled to respect
full consideration. But suppose his
prediction proves true, what are We
going to do about It? II congress
takes the bull by the horns to cor
rect the evils complained Of, warn
ing is at once forthcoming that
there will be a panic-a panic OF
money-hence 1t is deemed the bet
ter part of valor to permit injustice
to have the right-of-way. This con-
dition will prevail until the COM
mon people of the United States are
ready to stamp out wrong regard
less of financial consequences They
must face business depression and
unsettled conditions until the root
of the trouble is cut away. The
party In congress that applies the
knife to the wound, cutting deep
enough to remove the dangerous
parts, will be ordered from power
the first opportunity the voters
have. No effective results can be
vouchsafed until the voters are

Edward Hines, of unsavory Lori

Aldrich told him President Taft
said he wanted Lorimer elected se-:-

Senator LaFollette has thousands
OF friends all over the country who
do not deem next year as the tire
for him to try for the r.esiGencT,
but who will be for him IT he de-
cides to enter the contest. There
are others who would be for him
Under different circumstances who
will not be for him next year. But
none OF his friends, or fair-mfnded
opponents, will question his right to
be a candidate and make as strong a
showing as possible. The Wiscon-
sin senator is growing in popularity
every year and II he Is able 20 re-
tain his present following will prove
a formidable candidate in 1916 If
then in the race.

According to dispatch from
Washington the loss of the battle
ship Maine was caused by an expo
sion from the inside, her three mag
alines having exploded. This is
credited to a statement made by
Gen. Bixby, chief of engineers, who
has returned from personal inspec-
ton of the wreck. If this report is
true, Spain is exonerated from the
charge of having blown up the ship,
a charge that was never sustained
hut that was made and repeated by
those who wanted to rush the coun-
try into war. The cause of the dis
aster will never be known, but it is

Some editors who do not like to
sacrifice their own dignity have less
respect for the dignity Of their pa
per, hence they permit anonymous
correspondents to make mean per-
sonal attacks upon men whom they
(the EDITOR do not care to attack

pendent who resorts to such under
hand methods must Of necessity be
a degenerate, but he is entitled to
lust as much respect as the editor
who permits mis- paper to be used in
such manner.

It is reported that land in GER
tain sections of North and South
Dakota can be bought at from $40
to $40 per acre cheaper than the
price two years ago, due to the ex-

meter on the Maine was discovered

Corn needs warm weather, but
there is a limit in the amount OF
heat it can stand. Much Of the Iowa
crop has already been seriously dam
aged by the excessive heat OF the

than in most sections.

Then the fund collected from own
ers will be in the neighborhood Of
one million dollars per year. The
automobile is the forerunner of good
roads, hence public benefactor in
one respect at least.
Had President Taft exhibited the
courage and the determination in
fighting for fair revision OF the
tariff that he is now revealing in his
fight for reciprocity much better
tariff law than that now upon the
statutes would have resulted and the
republican party would not now be
fearing defeat at the next national
election. Mr.. Taft was slow in get
ting on the armor, but he has dem
onstrated that he is not afraid of
making use of it after it is on.
Postmaster General Hitchcock
thinks the railroads are getting nine
millions of dollars year more for
carrying the mails than they should.
Possibly, but they will keep on get.
ting it until the postmaster general
or some one else kicks up enough
dust about it to arouse the public.
There is nothing so effective in en-
forcing economy in any direction as
public sentiment. The average mem
Der of congress fears the public
wrath and that is about the only
thing he fears. And the railroads
do not look with indifference upon
public opinion.
Indications are that the next CEN
sus of Iowa will show an increase
in population. Quite few Of the
farmers who left the state a few
years ago in search of cheaper land
are coming back. They found what
they were looking for, but have ar
rived at the conclusion that cheap
land is not what they want. The
drouth epoch seems to be due In
some of the western states and some
thoughtful farmers think this is but
the beginning of dry spell of sew
eral years duration in the states that
have heretofore suffered from lack
of moisture. And these thoughtful
farmers are of the very sound opin-
ion that no state equals Iowa for ag-
gricultural purposes.
The people of Iowa must allow
their representatives in congress
some latitude. Men of intelligence
and action, having conscience ana
courage, must disagree upon public
questions. All cannot see alike. II
thew could there would be little pro-
eress. What is needed in congress
is men of character, ability and In
tegrity who look upon their duties
as trust imposed by the people and
who want to do their duty to the
people. If the public have confidence
in man they will go far with him
ard permit him free exercise Of
Judgment. He need not be In agree
ment with popular sentiment upon
all things. Note the attitude OF
Senator Hoar when the Spanish
American war was on. He did not
reflect the Judgment OF Massachu-
sets but Massachusetts, endorsed hiIa
for reelection just the same.

ready to stand by their representa-
tives and insist upon just super
vision of corporations and combin-
ations that seek to control values by
arbitrary methods. 1t is up to the
people. They have the power and
know the remedy, but are unwilling
to make the necessary sacrifices.
The Sioux City Journal intimates
that Dave Brant of the Iowa City
Republican, who is in a controversy
with Gov. Carroll, has some kind of
disappointment which he is harbor-
ing, and reference is made to Da-
vid's defeat when a candidate for
nomination for lieutenant governor.
Mr.. Brant responds with like "ar-
gument,'' observing that Uncle
George was once a candidate for gov
ernor. 1t gives the Freeman-Trib-
une great sorrow and chagrin to
note the disquieting attitude OF
these two valiant old-time defend
ers of the once famous sachem of
the erstwhile reservation in Iowa
politics and it trusts that David and
George will bury the Ratchet before
some of the treasured secrets of the
cid regime are laid bare and putri-
flying before the public gaze. The
venerable editor of the Sioux City
Journal and the sage Of the Iowa
City Republican are, it must be con-.
coded, armed to the teeth with
weapons that would exterminate
each other If put to use, but for
bearance ought to prevail and the
state spared the exhibition of per-.
scnal politics that might create a
great big sensation.
If the policy of protection is a
good thing, then the contemplated
trade with Canada is bad thing;
and if the Canadian pact is good
thing for the whole country, then
continuance of the policy of protec-
ton represents Anticipated foolish
ness. The question at issue relates
to protection as AN essential princi-
ple.-Sioux City Journal.
The Journals reasoning is hardly
logical. Protection, as exemplifed
by impost duties to relieve the do
nestle producer from competition
that might destroy him, need not
necessarily be maintained against
countries where conditions are sim
liar to conditions in the United
States. There is no pauper labor in
Canada. The people there are intel
ligent, thrifty, self-reliant and pro-
gressive. They live on high plane
and are consequently good consum-
ers. 1t might be advantageous to
enter into trade agreement with
them while not advantageous to en-
ter into like agreements with some
of the countries OF continental
Europe. The United States govern
ment can retain protection as an
essential principle without enforc-
ing that principle against any par
ticular people or in the case Of any
particular commodity. Every time
the tariff is revised the free list is
altered and usually broadened. Yet
the principle OF protection is retain

No, it is not claimed that the pro-
