people they look ugly and the coun-
try will not tolerate them.
Progressive republicans who con-
denim Geo. w. Clarke for standing
by the national republican ticket
are unfair to the head of the state
ticket. Mr.. Clarke is the republican
nominee for governor and If he can
not support the ticket he ought to
withdraw. There lis difference OF
opinion in regard to the regularity
of Taft's nomination and republic
cans must be given credit for hon
esty no matter which view they
take. Mr.. Clarke won the nomina-
ton fairly at the primary. There is
no faint upon his credentials and
he is entitled to the support of ev-
cry republican in the state and the
Freeman Tribune believes he will
get it regardless of the differences
over the national ticket.
The Des Moines Capital, noted for
fake polls, is taking a vote on presi-
dent and finds that Taft stands
third in the race. Possibly the Cap
ital is telling the truth this time, as
the results reported are not just as
it would have them. On Thursday
it polled the men working in the
Rock Island shops, the packing
house, Great Western shops. Har-
bach furniture and few other places
and reports 103 for Wilson, sc for
Roosevelt and 20 for Taft. The Cap
ital says In referring to the vote:
1.-THE voice OF the people is being ex-
pressed daily in the great ballot
plan of the Capital on pres
idential preference in Iowa. Polls
have been taken in several small
towns, some showing strong for
Roosevelt and others for Wilson.
Taft as rule is in the minority.
There are a number Of votes for
Debs.

In view of the record OF Roose-
welt when he was president the
charge that he would embroil the
country in war If again called to
the white house is the silliest non
sense. Roosevelt, more than any
other man, was responsible for the
restoration of peace between Rus
STA and Japan. And when the rela-
tions of this country and Japan be-
came strained because of conditions
in California President Roosevelt
took steps to restore harmonious
feeling. The legislature of Califor
MIA had framed bills that We're an
tagonistic to japanese interests and
that conficted with our treaties
with that country. These bills We're
popular in California and the entire
Pacific coast, but Roosevelt took ac-
ton against them at the risk of pub
lie disapproval. 1t was said at the
time that the president was doing
an unprecedented thing, but it Isl

Champ Clark points out that he
lost the democratic nomination not

all round this year.

The Boone News Republican is Of
the opinion that the property own
ers who pay for the improvement
should have something to say of the
material used in street paving. What
queer ideas some editors do have!
The average city council knows SO
much more than the average citizen
about street paving, especially when
the latter pays all the bills, that
it is strange newspaper would be
guilty OF making the silly statement
that property owners have right
to be heard. This is certainly adj
vanced ground.

The people of the country stood
for the nomination Of w. H. Taft
four years ago, obtained by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in exactly the same
manner as Taft secured the nominal
ton this year.-Burlington Hawk
Eye.
Roosevelt did not nominate Taft
four years ago. He was a supporter
of Taft and did what he could for
him. He was at Washington during
the convention and had nothing to
do with the contests before the ma
tional committee. Moreover, Taft
had enough non-contested delegates
to nominate, hence it was not neces-
sary to steal more, therefore the
temptation to use dishonest methods
was not present. When supporters
of Taft insist that Roosevelt nomin-
ated him they simply advertise the
weakness of the president Didn't
his personality count for anything?
Was he a mere pawn in the hands
of the greater man who occupied the
white house at that time? 1t really
doesn't help matters this year even
though the same methods were used
four years ago. Senator'S have be-

characteristic of Roosevelt to do un-
precedented things when occasion

people of California were effected
by diplomacy without endangering

Reports that gambling in various
forms was being carried on in the city
came to Mayor Keller, as well as
stories of other forms of lawbreaking,
and the mayor decided to ascertain
whether through incompetence or In
difference the detective department
was failing to stop law violations The
mayor, with the cooperation of Chief
Catlin, determined on an Independent
and private investigation, the first re-
suit of which has been the discharges

The Burns investigation is said to
have corroborated in full the charges
made some time ago that gambling
among the colored men of the city
was fourishing and that other forms
of crime were unchecked.

RATES ON ROAD MATERIALS
Three Railroads Announce Special Re-
duced Schedules.

CuCeo SCn0ouIeS.
Three Minnesota railroads have ac-
ceded to the request of the state high
way commission for a material reduc-
tion in freight rates on all kinds of
road material. Word has been re-
ceiVed by George w. Cooley, secretary
and engineer of the commission, that
the Northern Pacific, 500 and the Du-
luth and Iron Range roads will an
nounce special rate on all road ma
terials Immediately. It is known that
the Great Northern will make the
same rates as the 500 and Northern
Pacific, although no word to that effect
has been received by the commission.
The new rates are so low, in the
opinion of Mr. Cooley, that counties
poorly supplied with good gravel and
material for crushed stone will not
hesitate to transport the material from
points where they are plentiful.
The new rates are 80 cents per ton
for thirty miles; so cents for fifty
miles; Is cents for 100 miles, and
$1.20 for 100 miles.
The Duluth and Iron Range will
make even lower rates, ranging from
20 cents ton for thirty miles to 81
for 200 miles.

How Paris CO Is Neme.

The city of Paris owes its origin to
the conquest Of Gaul by Caesar. When
this Roman general on his path of
conquest came to the present site of
the French capital he found a swampy
island in the river Seine, which was
inhabited By Q Gallo tribe called Pa
risii, who lived in huts made Of rushes.
Rather than be captured by the RO-
mans, these people burned their rude
city. which they called Lutetia, or
mud town." and the great Caesar,
quick to appreciate the situation, built
temple to Jupiter and a wall around
the island. A town soon sprang up
about the temple and was named
PARISH, after the ancient tribe In
later years this was shortened to Paris.
