"A GLIMPSE OF WILSON.
Sioux City Journal.

A glimpse Of Gov. Wilson in action
clears the way for comprehension of
the unshakable liking and loyalty Of
his Princeton following throughout
the country. In PERSONAL appearance,
the cartoonists to the contrary not
withstanding, the governor is prepos-
sessing, and his smile, grossly libeled
by the photographers, seems to have
real fun back of it. It is not only
genial, but Infectious. AS to dress,
one finds the governor just like the
TEST of the fellows. In meeting the
folks he presents a. real handshake
and seems to take interest. In gen.
eral, one gathers an impression of
dignity, poise, kindness, sincerity
and good fellowship.
On the platform the governor Of
New Jersey and democratic candidate
for the presidency is delightful, .oc-
cupying a class pretty much by him

THE RULE or THE FEW.

The RULE OF The FEW.
James Brice, the great English
statesman who has served his coun-
try tor many years as it's American
Ambassador, in an address, delivered
at Washington in January 1908, is
credited with saying: The time hal
lowed classification of forms of gov
eminent divides them in Monarchies,
Olligarchies and Democracies. In re-
ality there is only one form OF gov
eminent. That form is the rule of
the few
The venerable statesman was prob
ably justified in expressing this opin-
ion Of our form Of government by his
personal observations at Washington
since the days of Mark Hanna Since
that time a few men have purchased
the presidential office for the can
didates Of their choice, and in that
way became the real rulers of the
country. Nearly tWo-thirds Of the con-
gressmen and senators elected by
the people favored and voted for
the downward revision Of the tariff
during the last session OF Congress,
but their wishes and the wishes OF
a large majority Of the people count.

the wishes of the few who constitute

It Is a gift
STAND TOGETHER.

II more Of the republican leaders
would recognize that the change is
bound to come there would be less
worrying about the particular way
in which it. is to come
Ten years of agitation have led
directly up to the present situation.
Everybody could foresee that they
must lead to such situation Or
prove wholly abortive.
Now that the situation is here, the
only thing any intelligent man can
do is to recognize it, and look hope
fully to the final working out of the
problem.
It is not important just how the
politics of the next few years is to
develop, at least that is not the
paramount consideration. 1t is i'm
portant that those who belong togeth-
er get together and stand firmly by
the logic of heir own course.-Reg-
lister and Leader.
If those who belong together polit-
ically get together, and we quite
agree with the Register and Leader
that they should, will not the pro-
gresSive republicans and the demo-
Gratis be voting together in the near
future? OF course the conservatives
who call themselves democrats, but
who seldom vote for democratic can
didates, are not included in the above
suggestion.

STRAW VOTES,
Cedar Rapids Gazette

There are straw votes and STRAW
votes, which means that some of the
polls may have little value. whila
others may be quite reliable. A poll
taken hit or miss may or may nor
have value. 1t might be an easy mat.
ter to get a crowd together that
would be unanimous for Taft: u
might be still easier to get together
one that would be unanimous Tor
Roosevelt or for Wilson. A straw vone
to have value, must be taken w1Lu
relation to the votes of the same
people or similar districts, in orner
years. In view of this statement the
poll taken Of Lincoln township,
O'Brien county, by a citizen Of that
county, is worthy of especial note.
The poll resulted: Wilson so, Roo
welt 80, Taft IS. The votes OF tnys
township four years ago was Tart

TAFT ALONE RESPONSIBLE FOR
81 TARIFF LOOT.

During the last two sessions OF con-
gresa the democrats, with a few ex-
captions like Bailey of Texas, and
the progressive republicans have vot-
ed together on nearly every political
question. BY this union Of forces
majority was secured in the Senate,
which would otherwise have been
strongly republican. Had President
TAFT not betrayed the progressives
the country would now be enjoying
the benefits OF progressive legisla-
ton. The Presidents vetoes alone
permit the tariff grafters to collect
their 5000, 900, 900 Of loot this year.

leading presidential candidates as
they enter the home stretch. This

fairly correct account Of present con-
ditions from coast to coast. This
1 canvass shows that Wilson is secure
4 " holding the seventeen states car.
ried by Bryan in 1908, and in addi-
ton he is the faovrite in states that
until this year have been republican
strongholds.
This poll shows that Wilson is like
~ to carry the home states Of all
three candidates. In Ohio the re.
publican party seems to be split
worse than in any other common
wealth. IN New York Wilson seems
i 4 sure winner by at least 100000 ov-
81 Roosevelt and 100000 over Taft. In
fact Roosevelt is running ahead Of
TAFT everywhere, and the race down
the home stretch during the next
i four weeks is likely to be a struggle
Z between Wilson and Roosevelt, with
Taft poor third in the race.
E Tho canvass in rock-ribbed New
England places Wilson in the lead.
Maine and Rhode Island will go. to
v Wilson sure, and Massa chusetts, Yer
mont, and Connecticut are likely to
follow the other two.
The voters who are at present non
IL commital will decide who shall win
"a the great states Of the west. In
Illinois the battle is certainly between
Wilson and Roosevelt. And here in
Iowa the republican forces are so
equally divided that Wilson's chanc-
e. are certainly better than either
\ Of the other two candidates.
At this writing it looks as though
Roosevelt would carry Michigan, Min
nesota, the two Dakotas and a major
/. ity OF the Mountain and Pacific Coast
states. but there Is no certainty that
he will do so. AS Taft's chances
recede. Wilson's chances improve.
Wilson Will certainly carry Missouri
and probably Indiana; and, of course,
the nine Southern states. Unless
something entirely unforeseen hap
pens within the next four weeks VIII

SLAIN GAMbLER'S
WIDOW TEST|F|E les
Proves Disappointment, How
ever, in Not Knowing Secrets :
of Her Husband.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE prosecu.
ton in the trial of Lieutenant Charles
Becker for the murder of Herman Ro-
senthal played it's final strong card to-
day when Mrs Lillian Rosenthal, wild
ow Of the slain gambler, was called
TO the stand to testify to the business
relations between her husband and the
accused police official.
A great crowd stormed the court in
anticipation of sensational testimony
from the woman whom District Attor-
ney Whitman believes to be one of his
strongest witnesses.
Mrs. Rosenthal told OF her husband
meeting with Becker at the Elks club
on Thanksgiving eve The lieu
tenant, she declared, placed his arms
about Rosenthal and said:
Wen, Herman, how is things?"
Rosenthal complained that his sf-
fairs were not as fourishing as they
might be and Becker declared: Every
thing will be all right"
Tolls of 5ecker's Raid.
iHCh sire QUICKLY was led TO the dGv
of the raid. Becker tried to sna sn
down the door and she ran downstairs
to let him in.
For heavens sake!" she said to him.
What does this mean? Are you trying
to break up our home"
Becker, she swore, followed her inside
and said:
1t had to be Herman or me. Tell
Herman he don't owe me anything"
She referred to the $500 loaned her
husband on the mortgage
Mrs Rosenthal. however. proved
somewhat of a disappointment on di-
rect examination. She failed to reveal
any of the secrets which were buried
with her husband after his tongue had
been silenced by the bullets Of the as
sassins on July Is. After short ex-
animation by Assistant Prosecutor
Moss, she was turned over to the de-
Tense for cross examination.
The state scored when John F. Nc
Intyre, chief attorney for the accused
lieutenant, tried repeatedly and unsue-
cessfully to show through the widow
that RoSenthaPs death was the result
of gambling feud All questions along
this line were excluded and after being
under fire for about half an hour Mrs.
Rosenthal was excused.

What do you think of this as a menu

Apple or banana with peanut but

Baked sweet potato and two gra-

That was the bill Of fare, and the
children had their choice. Each cents
worth was substantial luncheon. The
menu will be changed every day, so
