PLAY THE GAME FAIRLY.

Congressman Good, of the Fifth
district, has indorsed DR.. w. S. De-
vine for postmaster at Marshall
town. Protest against his appoint
ment has been filed by Governor
Carroll, Lafayette Young, Sidney
Foster and other standpatters OF
high degree, and President Taft, it
seems, is lending willing ear to the
protest.
The objection to DR.. Deyine is
that he is "a Cummins man." In
the minds of a majority Of the peo-
pie, that fact, assuming him to be
qualified for the place to which he
aspires, is a sufficient justification
for his appointment. Senator Cum
minis is the chosen leader OF the re-
publican party of Iowa. II he were
forced to stand for reelection to
the Senate tomorrow he could not
be defeated, and It is certain that
he will have the support OF vast
majority of Iowa republicans for the
presidential nomination. objection
to DR.. Devine on the ground that
he is a friend of Senator Cummins
ought not to be considered and
would not except by president
who has shown remarkable pervers-

A sTANDPAT VIEW.

The Iowa City Republican. one OF
the most Incorporating standpat
papers in Iowa, presided over by the
pugnacious Dave Brant, has the fol-
lowing to say in regard to the pres
idential candidacy of Senator Cum
Minis:
There is difference of opinion as
to the reasons why Senator Cummins
is candidate for the republican
nomination for president. Some
contend that he is actuated by OPP
position to Taft and a desire to con-
troll the political situation in Iowa,
while his friends profess to see a
dissolution of the support of the
president and believe that the ma
tional convention will seek a candi-
date allied with the opposition.
The Republican is inclined to give
the senator the benefit of the doubt,
and to accept his candidacy as one
based upon a genuine desire to re-
ceive the nomination. II this Is the
case then the only real basis OF OPP
position Is the preference for some
body other than Cummins.
Tne Republican sincerely believes
that the president is entitled to the
denomination which his friends ask
for him. 1t is in full sympathy

MODERN BUSINESS.

The great transportation systems
which are absolutely indispensable
to the we'll being Of modern society
are strong collective agencies, con-
trolling hundreds Of thousands OF
disciplined wage earners. They
take account indeed OF the needs or
interests OF large groups or entire
communities. They pay, however,
scant attention to the individual
consumer or producer. In the fact
DRY system which necessarily pre-
walls in the most of the important
industries the individual workman
is lust an atom in complex ma
chine. The huge monopolistic in
dustrial combinations. the combina-
lions among financial institutions
which put great masses Of capital
within the control Of few persons
and the large retail establishments
in which captains are few and SUBJ
ordinates many, all tend to diminish
the personal independence OF the az
erage man or woman. The trade
unions take strong hand in reduc-
ing the personal independence and
practical liberty Of the journeymen
In their respective trades. In short,
it is impossible that the clerks, OPP
eratives, statesmen and trade union
lists Of today should be as independ-
emit, self reliant and enterprising as
the pioneers, farmers, fishermen and
uncontrolled mechanics Of 1776

with President Taft and his policies
and regrets that he is the victim of
the opposition which he has to meet.
But while believing that Taft
should be nominated. the Republic
can recognizes the necessity of state
unity IL the state is to have nation
al recognition. At present Senator
Cummins is the foremost Iowa re-
publican and is better known the
nation over than any other citizen
Of the state. And while men do not
agree with him, they admit his abil-
ity and standing, and as an Iowa
proposition, it will be no discredit
to the state or to the republican
party Of Iowa to present him to the
national convention as candidate.
The Republican takes this posi-
ton upon the assumption that he
asks the republicans Of Iowa not q
faction, to present him. If he Is to
be presented by a faction, then the
Republican Is willing to step aside
and let the faction manage his cam
paign and elect such delegates as
they can. The Republican expects
to see no division or faction in the
next Iowa convention which will
elect delegates to the national con-
yention, and If the Cummins' man
ayers are wise, they will at once in
dictate a willingness to divide the
fourth, seventh, tenth and eleventh
districts which they have controlled
for number of years, as well as the
delegates at large. If they take
this course, Cummins can get solid
and a working delegation, free from
faction, which will give him all the
support any candidate could ask.
But should different course be TAX
en-, and disposition shown to OPP
pose any division of delegations from
the progressive counties, Cummins
will have fight on his hands which
will divide the Iowa delegation and
remove any possibility Of serious
consideration for him at the nation
al convention.
The matter of uniting or dividing
the party lies entirely with Senator
Cummins and his Immediate friends.

HEDGING.

An Iowa newspaper is quoting
The Capital against the income tax.
Our readers must bear us witness
that we have not opposed the in
come tax. An income tax honestly
levied and honestly collected would
be the fairest and most just means
Of taxation. The only objection to
ii is 1t authorizes, or would auth
orize, closest inquiry and scrutiny
into mans business. It would al
so offer premium on falsehood.
There. are enough lies told now in
regard to values Of property to sink
sinful world. Corporations and
individuals. anxious to avoid paying
tax upon their income, will put
every member of the family on q boz
gus salary list to absorb the profits
and to reduce the income. Every
scheme would be adopted to avoid
paying the tax.
We should not think it wise to
undertake to have the rich pay all
the taxes, and the poor, or those In
moderate circumstances, pay none.
The man who would pay no tax
would not take proper interest In
the government. He would not feel
that he was part of the govern
ment.-Des Moines Capital.
The Capital can find numerous
objection to an income tax, yet 1t is
not opposed to such tax. Perhaps
1t was only playing with the Eng
,lish language short time ago.
when speaking Of the supreme court
UNFOLDING the income tax OF Wis
consin, 1t declared such tax was
fad and penalized thrift. When
the Capital editor penned these
words he evidently forgot for the
moment that he was candidate
for United States senator and now.
after having seen its effect upon his
personal political fortunes, is at
tempting to hedge. The colonel
ought to stand pat.

FULFILLING.

Mr.. Roosevelt rather ostentatious-
ly went to a dinner and avoided the
LaFollette meeting in New York,
while Clifford Pinchot. who is sup
posed to speak for Roosevelt almost
more than for himself, declared that

dent. Just what Mr.. Roosevelt is
aiming at in his NOW you see it

IN GOOD COMPANY.

Manchester Press: The Hampton
Chronicle complains that some Of the
so-called ''standpatters" are support
ing Clarke for governor. Let it go
at that. II so, the Chronicle will
have to admit that all such miser-
able and misguided beings are In
good company, for they are aided
and allotted in their nefarious un-
dertaking by such progTessives as
Senator James A. Smith, the leader
of that faction, and such progressive
papers as the Webster City Free
man-Tribune, Marshalltown Times
Republican and Odebolt Chronicle.
But after all, what has that to do
with It? Must every mans fitness
for position in Iowa be measured by
his independence Of or servility to a
faction? Geo. w. Clarke Is pro-
gressiye, has always trained with
the progressive element, and has no
apologies to offer for his alignment.
But he is fair-minded man Of gem
erous spirit who is able to detect
some good in men who do not always
accept his view. This paper is sup
porting him not at all upon faction
al grounds. We believe he has the
equipment for governor OF large
purposes and substantial endeavor,
and that he is so far superior to
Prof. Holden in executive ability
and real fitness for the office as TO
make no comparison possible.

Congressman Woods has found his
voice since the decision Of Senator
Cummins to become candidate for
president has been announced. It
was feared by his friends that our
congressman's voice had become per-
manently impaired. but such is not
the case. He speaks right up in fav-
or OF the senator.
II Col. Young could see his way
clear to support Cummins for presi-
dent he could save lot Of editorial
energy. All he would have to do is
to go back into his files and dig up
the fine endorsements he gave Cum
minis for senator number Of years
ago. Probably the colonel had not
thought of that.
II Senator Stephenson expended
more than 100000 in securing
seat in the United States senate he
paid more than it is worth and more
than any man ought to be allowed
to pay. Such expenditure ought to
be proof Of corruption and no SEN
ator-elect who expended that much
should be permitted to take seat
In the upper house of congress. It
really amounts to buying the posi-
ton.
, The Freeman-Tribune expects to
see Col. Young's withdrawal as a
candidate for United States senator
published in few days. The colon
ell is something of politician and
knows the difference between a solid
stone wall and an open door. 1t is
apparent to his friends that he can
come nowhere near an election and
the sensible thing for him to do is
to withdraw while the act can be
performed with becoming dignity.

It were so here? Why not think OF
this and protect the birds and other

Mr.. Lacey may not agree with us,
but the Freeman-Tribune believes
he did more for the general welfare
in espousing and pushing through
congress this measure than in any,
thing else he ever accomplished in
all OF his public services. The pre-
servation of bird life means great
deal to this country and the man
who furthers the cause has done
something for his fellowman. 1t is
not creditable to our citizenship and
manhood, however, that such law
is necessary. The life OF every
harmless bird and animal ought to
be secure in a civilized community
without legal enactments. But such
is not the situation. There are
many people who in this enlighten-
ed day shoot birds and animals for
the fun of the thing. They seem to
enjoy seeing innocence in the death
struggle and have no conjunction
of the agony they may cause by
and falling to kill.
