Michigan. He had evidently been
showing them some lots. They an
nounced that they intended to re-
turn to their home in Michigan by
way of Idaho and see what this
state had to offer.
The dealer urged them to steer
clear of Idaho. They will tax you
to death in that state, he said:
and when they professed not to be-
lieve him he pulled from his pocket
q paper and read to them about |
the cash value order issued byl

have suffered decline in sales to the
extent of $4,000 or more. 1t Is all due
to the unusual crop Of local fruit.
Plu1ns and apples and small fruits in
the back yards this year have put the
fruit dealers to the bad. Housewives
have done little else this summer but
can the, local crop. And when not
canning they have been hunting
neighbors to whom the children could
carry the surplus and the neighbors
have been busy canning until the
price of sugar has scared to the high
est elevation ever reached in many
years.
Last year was the fruit dealers
memorable harvest All local fruit had
been killed in the spring by frost.
What people in Iowa ate they had to
buy and the fruit dealer simply could
not ship it in fast enough. Visions of
automobiles end brown stone fronts
pursued him at night. He had the
get-rich- quiclk schemes backed off the
pavement and no government depart
ment could interfere. The business he
did was simply astounding.
Then another season rolled around
and the Iowa prairies, known only for
their corn and hogs, began to sag
DOWN at one end with their overload or
plums and apples. The branches of the
plum trees bent and broke The
branches of the apple trees had to be
propped up with fence posts while the
fruit dealer groaned and the whole
sale grocer telegraphed for more
sugar. There are times when this
Iowa climate becomes very disagree

This is the charge made against
Cummins ten years ago and yet he
made the best governor Iowa has ever
had LaFollette when governor OF
Wisconsin achieved everything for the
public welfare rather than for himself.
1t Is the charge which Wall street
makes continually against Roosevelt
and yet If Roosevelt should become
candidate for the presidential nomina-
ton against Taft today. the republican
party Of the nation would not dare re-
fuse him.
Men who are willing to make the
tremendous personal sacrifice which
fight against existing political ma
chimes and the special interests back
Of them involves are often misunder-
stood as well as deliberately maligned
in the way that the Des Moines editor
is now doing Because men like Cum
minis and LaFollette and Roosevelt
have been willing to fight for their
principles and to fight hard they have
sometimes seemed to stand alone.
Their struggle has taken on the APP
pearance Of personal combat. With
out understanding the spirit of the
patriot, which In q few men fires the
blood without the aid of martial music,
it is difficult to see what it is that
leads these men on. Cummins. for in
stance, in this state gave up a law
practice worth $4,000 per annum and
deliberately accepted the role of poor
man financially to enter public lire
when he could have accepted retainers
worth $4,000 a year in the employ OF
the steel trust as an attorney. La
Toilette too, is probably the most dra-
matte speaker in our public life today
and a lawyer of great power. The fight
he has made in Wisconsin has COM
pelled him and his wife and his daugh-
ter to all struggle terrifically to OBJ

tain the funds necessary to carry on
his campaigns when opportunity was
always open to him to accept luxury
and opulence as an attorney in practice
OF his own profession.
WHY do these men do 1t? Why do
men Of great wealth and capacity sac
rihce business and property and bid
farewell to their families to lead arm
les in defense OF a nationc LaFollette
and Cummins and Roosevelt are men
OF strong intellectual power in whom
the blood Of the patriot runs hot. They
see in the struggles of class against
class to obtain genuine popular gov
eminent and free opportunity to all a
crisis which would appear to less
thoughtful persons only when war had
been declared. The spirit which causes
other men to shoulder muskets IN de-
Tense Of country inspires them to sac
rlflce their personal fortunes In the
pub,ic service. The enemy which they
see attacking this nation is the special
interest dominating the politics OF the
nation and corrupting the public SER
