The progressives were in full con
troll of the republican state conven'
ton held at Des Moines last week.
II was a Cummins convention. The
unusual and unprecedented action in
refusing to endorse President Taft fol
reelection and refusing to endorse
the republican national platform can
mean nothing more nor less than
that the friends of Senator Cum
Minis intends to deprive Taft of the
ELECTORAL vote of Iowa this fall. This
will be their revenge on the Taft
crowd for denying Cummins the sup
port of his home state in the Chi
cago convention.

Peerless Hog Fence Cuts
Feed Bills

Aside from having your regular hog
lot or lots fenced in with Peerless hog
fe lce,, which will proven. them from
wandering where you DO not want them
to go, there is another feature about hog
raising which should have your atten-
ton. The best auth critics on hog rails
ing claim that by taking a fairly good
sized meadow, surrounding it with fence
and dividing it into two parts and thsn
alternating your hogs in these two parts
so they can get liberal quantity of
green feed, that it is possible to reduce
the feed bills, the labor of taking care,
of hogs and at the same time increase
their weight and improve their quality.
We are sure that this must appeal to
you as good sound common sense, and
with 26-in. Peerless hog fence at as low
a price as we are quoting it at the pres
ent time, it will be very easy for you
and very inexpensive to try the expert
ment, to say the least.
1t will take only a few rods, and We
will make you an especially attractive
price il you will come at once.

REPUBLICANS in A MIDDLE.

E REPO6IlNANS in - "O6D..'
The republican convention held at
Des Moines yesterday. with its. fire
works finish, will go down in, history
as mistake-an act committed
while temporary insane. Those con.
tributing to the result, in the sane
after momentsH will regret their con-
tribution to this error.
The Reporter is not angry or
vicious, only sorry and disappointed.
From Tuesday night until Wednes-
day noon every possible effort was
made by the conservative element OF
both factions to get together-to har-
monize The effort was unavaillng,
The red light factions were bound to
have an Illumination. They were
both willing to sit upon the key OF
powder and play with box OF
matches, light one after another, see
the flash Of light and blue smoke.
The progressive element was in
control and it was hoped that such
men as Joe Lane, Joe Allen and A.
B. Funk could produce by argument
and diplomacy set of resolutions
that would be satisfactory and permit
standing room for all. In the main
they were successful, but as regards
The Chicago platform they made
serious mistake. So, too, did the
other extreme radical element in try
ing to force the issue against hope
less outcome,
That really accomplished leaves
the party in Iowa a good deal like a
circus without brass band to her
aid its coming, sort of kite without
a tail. The main parade and kite
were al. that could be desired, but
the missing connections will inter-
fere and retard real fight.
Dan Turner, as temporary chairman.
made a speech, that with two or
three exceptions all could subscribe
to, The difficulty in all the delibera-
tons of the convention was failure
to stop at the proper time, too much
of desire to have the last word.
The adoption of the Chicago plat
form would have helped Kenyon,
clor'r and the er+ire ticket. 1t
would have assisted largely in the re-
turn Of republican legislators. The
platform at Chicago was not the
work of one faction, but of the party
majority, including the Hadley, Borah
element, and this after eliminating
all the so-called tainted" contested
'elegates.
, It is difficult to understand Senat-
or Cummins' attituIe on platform
and ticket. From reliable sources it
is learned that his instructions by
wire were against the adoption Of
plank fayoring either the Chicago

AN HISTORIC CONVENTION.

Also historic was the republican
stale convention held in Des Moines
Wednesday.
The most important part Of the
proceedings was the fact that the
republican governor of the state was
Missed when he asked that the nom.
Inee of the republican national con.
yention be endorsed. Unusual? Very.
And when the governor mentioned tn.
name OF defeated candidate for the
presidential nomination the con
vention went wild and INDUCED in
an hilarious demonstration lasting 20
minutes. What can the result be
when a republican convention, in
such rock-ribbed republican state
as Iowa, goes SO far in disapproyal
o. the candidacy of republican
president, the regular nominee OF the
party, as; to advise, indirectly,
though it be, but advise, the scratch
ing Of that candidate on election day
VIII the friends of the president take
the act kindly? Will they not retail
iate? A standpatteer knows just how
md when to retaliate. The Taft
men are the regulars in Iowa. II
Taft is to be slaughtered at the polls,
the WHOLE fabric is to come 81 down.
The Taft men can also do some
slaughtering. While they did not
control the late, state convention,
judging by past performances. they
are somewhat stronger, numerically,
than the opposition. And II aamasv
is to be done they are capable of
opponents. If Taft is to be knitted
oil ITO oil nj ~
are to be knitted This is to include
Kenyon, congressional candidates and
all down the line. n
The result of the convention tt Of
Wednesday can hardly be foretold at
this time, but it is not going beyond
the possibilities to say that the next
legislature will be democratic and
that Kenyon will be defeated for
United States senator and Cummins'
defeat will follow two years hence.
If the fight is to be carried on with
no quarter on either side the anti
Taft men will, Ultimately suffer the
greatest damage, because they holu
the offices and the Taft men can,
very easily, cause the defeat OF
every last one OF them. Whatever
happens, the anti-Taft men may
harken back, to their words and s1ent
back to their past deed, when the
smoke OF battle has cleared away
and then know how it happened and
who caused it. For. the present they
have made a laughing stock Of the
regular republican party and Of the
regular republican nominee nov
president OF these United States. Blu
there is a day Of reckoning, a "a.
for recapitulation, and On that day
the devil will take the hindmost ant
the hindmost will not be the. regular
partymen. !.
Two-thrds of the convention votet
against direct endorsement Of thu
regular republican nominee and the
mater OF voting for Taft or Roose
cit for president was left entirely tc
''the individual conscience of thu
I1yoter"-which means that both sides
are free to place the dagger In fac'
the dagger is invited. The anti-Tat
men have acted The regulars will
act. They will be violating no part,
law; and transgressing no part!

THE OLD JOKE ABOUT a TARIFF
FOR THE PROTECTION
OF LABOR.
BY c. H. Tayenner.

The Unite' States Bureau Of Labor
Of which Dr.. Charles p, Neill is the
chief, has delivered what probably
will rank, in years to come, as the
severest &C. the many indictments
against the high tariff policy. This
indictment is in the form OF re-
port, Just issued, on the conditions
r.. the wooden mill industry at Law
renee, Mass, out OF which grew the
strike Of last winter. 5{ 5s4 y
The wooden trust is one of il not
the greatest beneficiary Of the high
aar!ff. For years and years agents
,'f this trust have appeared @ before
committees OF Congress with the
plea that high tariff on wool was
needed to protect American work
"a, an. to maintain the Ameri-
can standard Of living" In the face
of these pretentions, and in the face
o. the fact that the tariff rates on
wool were raised to the outside linn
its desired by, the trust, Commission
er Neill's report shows that wages
are SO low in the WOODEN industry
that women an children are forced
into the mills to keep families from
starving. ID
OF the employees in the mills"
says Mr.. Neill, "only about half are
adult males. The average wages for
all. counting full time work, are hard
~ SO a week, and one fourth Of the
employees get less than 81 a week
This is. for full time work, and it is
only for a part Of the year that the
employees are worked fulettme.
81 Many heads OF families can earn
only IS a week, and where there are
children the wife is often forced to
farm them out by the day and 60 to
work herself in order to keep the
family alive" M
This report furnished the final
chapter to the exposure the demo-
Gratis in congress have been making
OF the high tariff fraud upon labor.
II is an impartial report, and the
min owners cannot say that Mr.. Neill
IS an irresponsible agitator, which
,epithet they applied to all the news
paer. writer's and observers who went
to Lawrence to investigate conditions
Aifew days before this report was
issued the republicans met in conven-
ton in Chicago. and solemnly res
neweds their / allegiance to the high
tariff program, They wrote into
their platform the same old Joke
about protecting American labor"
and '.the American standard Of wages
and living"
Every owner Of. the great WOODEN
mills in New England Is multi mil
|l:onaire, and one of 1hese owners is
rated at over hundred millions.
William Wood, the president OF the
trust, testified in court that he had
lost all track of the number OF auto
mobiles he owned
The Nei,' report cinches the Dem.
ocratic contention that the high tar
lfff rates now. prevailing are sham sham
ana a fraud o. the worst sort.

What is probably the most difficult

two men. 1t is the hope of all inter-

can be narrowed e'twn and the matter
settled. A number of aspirants for the
crown will clash in a series OF bouts,
and when the smoke of battle is clear
ed away there may be someone who
a rightfully set himself up as the
