Clarke a Candidate.

Clinton Herald: George W. Clarke
Of Abel, lieutenant governor of the
state, has made formal announcement
to the effect that he will be a candi-
date next year before the Republican
primaries for nomination as governor.
Mr.. Clarke is not only one of the
best known men in the state, but he
Is one of the ablest as well. He has
hosts of friends in all parts of the
state. His announcement of his can
didacy is not at all unexpected; in.
deed, it long has been conceded that
Clarke would be the logical candi-
date at this time. 1t must be con-
coded, too, that at this time he is a
formidable candidate, and one whom
it will be difficult to defeat
Had it not been for the fact that
progressives insisted upon placing a
candidate in the field last year in an
effort to keep second term from
Governor Carroll 1t is probable that
Clarke would have had no opposition
next year, for there was a feeling on
all sides that he should have undis
puted possession of the field
Whether or not the Garst candidacy
of last year will have the effect o.
placing a candidate next year in the
! field in opposition to Clarke cannot
at this time be told. The regulars
always have shown disposition t.
work for the best interests of the
entire party. without reference t.
factionalism, and have shown thei
teeth only when pushed to the wall
However, it is as yet too early IL
/ the campaign to say what may o.
may not happen.

AGAINST REc,PRocITY.

In the Des Moines Capitals poll Of
the Republican newspapers of the
state on the question of the proposed
reciprocity with Canada the Britt
Tribune was set down as non-commit-
tai. When the matter came to the
attention Of the editor Of the Tribune,
Mr.. E. N. Bailey, that gentleman took
mis- pen in hand and entered emphatic
denial of the impeachment In the
course of his letter he asked to be set
down as being opposed to the whole
reciprocity scheme from start to
finish, and suggested that this be pub
lished in letters foot long. Con-
tinuing, Mr.. Bailey wrote:
1t reciprocity is what the Demo
Gratis have been trying to do ever
since can remember; it has been
thrashed out pro and con In nearly
every political campaign for forty
years, and SO far as we are concern
ed the Democrats will have to pass
the bill and become responsible for
the change, If any change there be.
More than that, we have no sympathy
with any Republican, public or private,
white or black, progressive, insurgent
or Observation-Disclosures who does adj
vocate it. This country was prosper
GUS under Republican rule beyond any
country on earth We have men-
DRY that leads us back to one short
season of Democratic rule, or mis-
rule, when little of the same brand OF
reform was advocated and tried in
spots in homeopathic doses, until
reason asserted itself again and the
election OF William Mckinley solved
the problem. That was plenty for
yours truly
1t was also plenty for many others
who with him suffered from Demo
cratic legislation on the tariff ana
now view the prospect of a repetition
of the experience with well-founded
alarm. 1t is very strange that any
one with a memory running back TO
1897 should be willing that Demo
cratic theories as to the tariff should
be permitted to prevail.

Iowa,s Supremacy.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Secretary
Bolton of the greater Dies Moines COM
mittee has figured out Iowa's agricul
tural supremacy. He had an easy Job
of figuring, for only casual glance at
Iowa crop values Is needed to show
just where the state stands. Mr..
Bottoms figures show that Iowa raises
one-twelfth of the worlds supply OF
corn, and one-twentieth Of the worlds
supply of oats. One-ninth of the ma
tons corn crop, one-sixth of the oats
crop; one-eighth of the hog crop, one
thirteenth of the cattle crop, one
eleventh of the barley crop, one
fifteenth of the buckwheat crop, are
grown in Iowa. The Hawk-Eye state
has vast dairy interests it's fruit crop
is immense. the output of its hen
neries totals vast sum.
Iowa is agriculturally supreme

STATE SOCIALISM A FAILURE.

Charles E. Russell, who mas con-
tributed to periodicals many articles
in support of socialism, has just re-
turned from New Zealand much dis
couraged with experiments In govern
ment ownership which have been pro-
claimed the world over as demonstra-
tions of the success of state socialism
The experiment In that country, he
says, has invited combinations OF
capital too powerful for the government
competition. He declares that pow
erty is increasing and the cost OF
government rising, while political cor
ruption is flourishing on larger
scale than ever. Retail trade is sue
cumbing to the chain store form OF
monopoly.
Socialists will probably reply to
this that socialism Is not to be judged
by a partial trial. but II what Mr..
Russell says is true, talk Of New Zea-
land as workingman's paradise
should cease as phase OF socialistic
writing and speaking, for no one can
doubt the sympathetic attitude OF Mr..
Russell toward socialism.

AN EXAMPLE, FOR kEokuk.

Mr.. B. A. Dolan in communica-
ton in recent issue of The Gate
Gate, deplored the practice of Keokuk
contractors and others in obstructing
the streets with material of one kind
and another and in failing to display
danger signals as the ordinances re-
quire. His letter attracted the at
lention of the Burlington Hawk-Eye,
which thus comments upon it:
Burlington is a better managed
municipality in many respects tnan
the majority of Iowa cities. This is
especially true Of the finances. And
there are other features of local
superiority, as for instance, citizen
of Keokuk complains in The Gate
City that the contractors, carpenters
and masons scatter their material
promiscuously in the streets and
there is no attempt to display danger
signals at night This Is not credit
able, and especially to city under
the commission form of government,
through which better things are ex-
pected The strict enforce
ment of the rules relating to the
temporary occupation of limited
street space by contractors, and an
ample display of red lights, inaugu-
rated under Mayor Casters admins
tration in Burlington, has ever since
been maintained to the decided ad-
vantage of the public. Now that keo-
kuk expects to do great deal OF
building, she ought to send her city
officials to Burlington and learn how
10 control the municipal end OF it,
The law on the subject is plain and
imperative. Section 353 OF the Re
vised Ordinances of the City OF Keo-
kuk reads as follows:
when any person shall be about
to erect or repair any house or build
ing, and shall wish to occupy part
of the street by placing a lime-house
or materials for building therein, such
person shall apply to the city marshal,
who shall allot such part OF the street
as may be proper and necessary for
such purpose, and grant permit,
to continue in force for such time as
shall be reasonable and necessary,
which permit shall be in writing, and
shall describe the space to be used,
and the marshal, on granting such per
nit shall include therein such condi-
| lions as a due regard to the convent
ence Of the citizens may require, one
| of which shall be that such persons
shall at all times after dark keep one
or more red lights as may be neces
sary, placed so as to warn any person
approaching of the location OF such
obstruction; and If any person having
permission as aforesaid shall In any
respect violate the conditions there
/ of, or any of them, or permit any
/ such violation, such permit shall be
null and void, and he shall be guilty
Of misdemeanor."
. All that is necessary to abate the
evil complained of is to enforce the
section of the law reproduced above
Some contractors are disposed t
J obey its requirements, but others place
!, distractions in the streets and leave
them there for months at a time II
shameful disregard Of the law and th'
/ rights and convenience of the public
All should be required to take on
, permits and live up to the condition.

FIRST REGIMENT TO tEAvy

Governor Carroll in his speech at
the opening Of the Fairfield armor-',
referred to the first Iowa regiment to
depart from the state in the war. The
Burlington Hawk-Eye last Saturday.
in answer to question OF which regi-
ment went first, replied that the First
and Second went on the same boat,
from Keokuk, on the 18th of June.
1851 In the Hawk-Eye of yesterday
Hiram Heaton of Glendale makes the
following correction:
"The Second Iowa, Col. Robert E..
Curtis, left Keokuk twelve hours ear
lier than did the First
1.-THE date was as Governor Carroll
said, June 10 1861"
The general impression here In
Keokuk is that the Second Iowa was
the first regiment to leave, as stated
by Mr.. Heaton. Possibly some of the
readers of The Gate City can author
itatively confirm or deny his state
ment The columns OF this paper are
open to contributions on the subject.

AEAlrA o. 1HE ARMY.

Gen. Wood has given most re-
markable example of the efficiency of
vaccination as has been afforded the
country for long time. He has had
about twenty thousand troops In sec
ton of the country which Is about
the worst to live in for people OF 9th
er parts Of the Union that can be
imagined. but he has less sickness
than has occurred in the record OF his
care and number of troops under
arms in the history of the world.
The proportion of sickness, which
was held to be very low in the Jap
anese army, has been reduced very
much below the Japanese record point
by the handling of the forces under
Gen. Woods command. He has had his
men vaccinated by the thousands with
never the least i'll result, but with an
immunity secured which entitled him
to claim the record for keeping troops
( at a point of efficiency that is free
! from disease and out of the hospital
At this time, when there is the re
curing movement against vaccina
ton, it probably fails to interest the
opponents of one of the great medica
discoveries of modern times to fine
that the doctrine of vaccination Is

which Way the Wind Blown.


Washington Democrat: This may In
terest you and 1t may not, but the
wind blows where 1t listeth and there
is none to make 1t afraid and the
signs are as we have guessed for
many moons and Charley Kennedy
will have to keep sharp lookout II
he does not have his political scalp
taken off slick and clean next prim-
airy time little bit of bird, no
bigger than a humming bird, Just 8
teenty weenty little thing told us that
S. w. Brookhart is grooming himself
to be a martyr to the cause OF re-
form next summer.
He is eligible because he has stood
his ground. He is the only politician
of prominence in this district who
stands by Taft for reciprocity. And
therefore, he is the man who must
make the race for congress, no odds
how the campaign for the bill goes.
Brookhart has been consistent for
the last year or more and he stands
by his guns. When all others run,
when even his patron saint, A. B.
Cummins, takes to the woods, he still
keeps the banner of reform afloat
and he sticks to his ship, or TO his
guns or to what ever may be the
figure of speech you want to use.
Prouty deserts reform and comes out
against the bill just like any grovel-
ing old Standpatter, who is after the
votes, but Brook stands on the bridge
at midnight, when the clock Is strik-
ing the hour.
Every last dodgasted Iowa con-
gresham, except Hubbard, deserts the
ship of reciprocity but Brookhart
treads the wine press alone and
shirks not moment All these things
are significant, but more significant
than all these, is what the little bit
Of teeney weenty bird told us, and
that was this, that Brook and Albert
Carpenter, made trip to Washington,

removal Of Harry Weaver, revenue

thought all they wanted was Reform.
but 1t seems that pie tastes pretty
good, too. The Iowa Republicans had
a caucus and agreed to submit every
thing to vote Of the congressional
delegation and under those circum.
stances, you know what will happen
to the Standpatters 0, what will hap
pen is plenty and it is not fit for
publication either.
All of which shows which way the
wind blows. Brook. Is building UP
his machine, all turned to run as
smooth as skill can make 1t, every
bearing smooth and oiled and ready
to run. Every joint well polished and
every oil hole well filled and things
win begin to happen along about
next Santa Claus time. And this is
how the wind blows.
