Thinks the Tariff Talk Is All Bun.
combe and @the Same Old Gag.o

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
There seems to be a remarkable
unanimity in both the old parties to
make the old worn threadbare tariff
and the trust discussion buncombe
the issues of this campaign. when
the real Issue Is and ought to be
meritorious progressive measures as
to whether this Government should
of the people as whole or in the
interest of the special interests Of
the few.
1t is now just eighty years since
the first written platform was pre-
sented by a political party in this
country and the party that presented
1t was the Democratic party, and the
form declared IAN adequate protec-
ton to American industry" to be "in-
dispensable to the prosperity of the
country" Don't that sound like this
years declaration of q tariff for rev.
enue qualified by the platform as
surance that no revision will be made
that will affect honest industry or
cation is plenty large to drive pro-
lection to Louisiana sugar, Florida
fruits, South Carolina tea, North Car
olina peanuts, etc, though, nest pas?
If not, then the further declaration
that "the American farmer and la
boring man are the chief sufferers;
1t raises the cost of necessities of
uct or wages. The farmer sells in
free markets and buys almost en-
tirely in the protected markets" Now
how on earth can the cost of living
be reduced II the tariff is to blame
without reducing the duties on agri-

THE GENEALoGY OF EBENEzER.

The Hon. Ebenezer J. Hill of Connecticut elo-
quently addressed the House, telling it that Taft
was perfectly certain to be elected
His speech was interrupted by colleague, who
read into the Record letter, quoting Mr.. Hill as
telling the Connecticut postmasters convention that
eff they didn't do better work in the next election
than they did in the last many familiar faces would
be missed at their next meeting
From which our genealogical expert advises us
that he expects to trace direct ancestry from
the Hon. Ebenezer Hill bask to the man who put the
bunk in Bunker Hill; same bunk same Hill; double
cousinship.

They Say q Wounded Bull Moose Is
A Particularly Active and Efficient
Animal in q Fight.

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Senator Dixon's call sounds very much
like the wall OF a wounded Bull Moose
in distress. 1t reminds one very much
Of the lamentations of Weaver, PEI
fer. and sockless Jerry Simpson, In the
olden days of trial and tribulation. How
Il must warm the cookies of the heart
of old Mary Ellen Lease! 1t sounds a
note of alarm that is sure TO be music
In the ears of the rabble. The country
is going to the demnition bow-wows, but
the hour of our deliverance is now at
hand. Hurrah for the Bull Moose and
the glorious tTninciples for which he
stands! Hurrah for the resurrected
creed of Populism and the rejuvenated
creed OF Socialism! We will buckle on
our. armor, gird our loins and wade in
blood to the brides" to win a victory
for Righteousness. Down with the boss
es, the trusts, and the price OF pota,
toes. Rally round the big stick and
smite the enemy hip and thigh. We
must win; the country must be saved!

IOWA REPUDIATEs THE CROOKS.

Iowa Republicans in State convention yesterday
resolved that great numbers of our loyal adherents
question the integrity of the nominations made by
our national convention" and concluded by leaving
to the voters individual conscience the controversy
over the national nominations"
That is refusal to support Mr.. Taft shall be no
test of party regularity man is specifically auth
orzed to withhold his support and assured that the
Iowa Republican party will not esteem that his
Republicanism has been thereby impaired.
Let it be remembered that NOT DELEGATE
FROM IOWA SUPPORTED MR.. ROOSEVELT.
The State sent sixteen delegates for Taft, ten for
Cummins In the convention in which the nomina-
tion was stolen, Iowa not Roosevelt State. Its
majority supported Taft, and assisted, every roll
call, in perpetratng the steal.
Therefore, a special significance attaches to the
resolutions which declare that no mans Republican
ism shall hereafter be questioned merely because
he opposes Taft.
The Iowa standpatters captured the State con-
venton that was held late in April, and instructed
the States four delegates ,atarge to support Taft
There were more ardent followers of the theft
and rapine program in the whole convention at
Chicago than they. They had beaten Cummins in
the State convention, they would beat Roosevelt in
the national; any progressive, anywhere, must be
beaten at any cost.
That was the rue-or-ruin program. Note, now
how we'll it has served to wreck the Republican
party, even in State that, on the record made at
Chicago, was not Roosevelt State at ALL
In the convention of yesterday, by more than 4
two-thrds' majority, it was voted that no Republican
will sacrifice his claim to regularity by voting against
the regular" party nominee.
The revulsion of feeling is typical of what has
taken place all over the country. Roosevelt was
strong in the progressive States, the primary States
the States where the people made their voices heard
in the preconvention fight
He is vastly stronger today than he was then, ant
Iowa is the proof of it.
If primary we're to be held in Iowa tomorrow

Here's a Book

An author of considerable note" to
quote the publishers. Charles Scribner's
Sons has recently written a book under
the fictitious name of John Inglis called
George Wendern Gave a Party" AS Is
said in the opening chapter. the party
comes far on in the story, and the pre-
ceding events and the culmina ton in
the clever and unexpected denouement
are of dramatic, more than literary,
value. While the climax is strong, writ
ten in a flowing. brisk style, and could
be dramatized without the change of
many words. the series of events which
lead up to 1t are mediocre. land in no
way tax the ingenuity of the author:
The characters are interesting and we'll
drawn, but presented to the reader in
rather forced manner. Dominating
the other characters and the moving
OF George Wendern, about whom all
the mystery is centered and upon whose
wildcat" speculations the fortunes of
so many are hung. The love affairs Of
the hero are technically secondary to
his financial difficulties, the outcome of
which form the solving of the plot but
the Importance they are given over
balance the book. Perhaps the story
would rush on too fast II the suspense
were not sustained by the love theme,
but other means for accomplishing this
purpose could have been employed. In
any tale the reader. after having gath
cred Together the threads and the gist
of the story. casts about to find the
character with whom to place his SYM
pathies, as intended by the author. and
by the unconscious interchange OF Ideas
between the reader and the author,
through the medium of a chosen charac-
ter. the unity of interest is sustained.
Here certain characters are so accentu-
ated that the sympathies of the reader
are switched from one line of action to
the other and no definite or intimate
mental picture of the hero or his mo-
tiyes is gained The faults of the book
are not, however noticeable enough TO the
average reader to make reading un-
pleasant and the tense. gripping mo-
ments of the final situation are worth
the reading of the entire book.

TO REPLEVY STOLEN GOODS.

= The cardinal plank in the Roosevelt platform
is Thou shalt not steal" but the first thing
that party did in my State to steal the
Republican electoral vote The State commit
tee chose for electors men who have declared
for Roosevelt but they will go the Re-
publican ticket-Congressman Burke of South
Dakota.
In the Presidential primaries held in South
Dakota this spring there were 63,30l Republican
votes cast, 1000 more than were cast for the
victorious Republican candidate for governor in the
election of two years ago. Of these 63,3Ol votes
Roosevelt received 35,637; LaFollette, 1921 Taft
e,s43; Roosevets majority over all, 1878; Roose-
Velt's plurality over Taft 25,794.
Are not the Republicans of South Dakota in
favor of Roosevelt for President? Is it theft upon
their part, then to so instruct their electors?
Evidently Congressman Burke cannot distinguish
between stealing and issuing replevn for stolen
goods, which is what the Republicans of South
Dakota are doing.
lnasmuch Congressman Burke was elected by
the narrow margin of sos out of total of 10000
votes, we may we'll count upon another face in his
accustomed place when the next Congress convenes

Visibly and vitality wrong! The Progressive
