the public so long as they can make
good profit out Of the things they

is standing behind Wiley. If the
doctor loses his position it will re-

President Taft undoubtedly re
allies by this time that he can ex-
pect nothing from the insurgent ma
chine. He sought for time to con-
ciliate them, but he has learned that
they smoke the pipe Of peace with
one hand and sharpen a knife with
the other.-Des Moines Capital.
These insurgents must be grow
ing into something fierce to be able
to smoke with their hands. This re-

To the progressive movement In
Iowa credit is due for the abolish
ment Of free passes. for the primary
plan Of nominating public ohicials.
the overthrow Of the custom OF ex-
state officials starting wildcat insur-
ance schemes, the pure food law, a
more equitable system OF taxation.
the nomination Of candidates for
United States senator by primary,
the law preventing trusts and combt-
nations to discriminate against
towns and localities and many other
things that might be enumerated.
In the nation at large progressive
Republication has accomplished more
than it is generally credited with.
lit is responsible for the income tax
amendment now being ratified by
the states, the enforcement Of the
anti-trust laws. railroad rate legis-
lation, the revision of the tariff one
schedule at a time, price-fxing by
government officials, overthrow of
the rebate, federal incorporation
laws, ETC., etc. The men who lead
in these movements are called dem
agogues, hypocritesg and agitators.
but without them there would be
little improvement made and there
is no telling how far the captains of
industry and the trust manipulators
would go in corralling everything in
sight and carrying off everything
not nailed down. Such men as Cum
Minis, Roosevelt, La Toilette and
Beveridge have been the pioneers In
this movement and they are entitled
to the thanks and applause of the
people.

for several weeks by the departments OF
State ami Justice. II has been found ina,
the men undoubtedly were arrested on TINS
side of the boundary. not far from the line.
but nevertheless in the territory OF the
United States. 1t remains for the Mexican
authorities TO prove that the entire pro-
cedure has been within the jurisdiction OF
Mexico or else set the men al liberty.
Blass and Converse were arrested on
February - and confined in the federal
prison at Juarez on charges in connection
with the revolution. The State Department
has been assured that they will receive
fair trials.
