Des Moines Capital: In certain

barrassment because certain members
are disposed to turn traitor to the re-

the election and organizing of the

Not His only Mistake.

Clinton Herald The bull moose can
didate for president is being quoted as
having said that II he had been more
in touch with actual conditions he
would not have insisted on third
party ticket In this state.
There is growing opinion, also,
that II he had known more about the
conditions which prevail throughout
the land that he would not have in
sisted on national third party ticket
either.
His insistence that state ticket
be named in Iowa does not consti-
tute his only mistake. He has been
laundering enormously for several
months. His greatest blunder came
when he reversed his decision that
he would not again be a candidate
for the presidency.

The Amenities Of Politics.

Cedar Rapids Republican: At
Springville Senator Kenyon paid a
tribute to Mr.. Bryan that was ap.

thing in his speech.
In Minneapolis the other day Can

II want to pay my tribute Of personal
respect to the president of the United
States" he said. II don't believe that
any man who knows the facts can
question the integrity or the purpose
of the man who now presides in the
white house"
How different that is from the
blatant Johnson's statement that the
president Is the most humiliating
spectacle in American history, which
puts him beneath even Benedict
Arnold and Aaron Burr
And how different from the man
who goes about crying Thar" thief"

and so on.

the fact that both the republican and

Newark, N. j., Aug. 30.-Several fash
tonabie women were trapped by United
States inspectors and made attidavits
to the fact that the house they were
visiting ostensibly for the purpose of
cold tea" was in reality an attempt
to procure opium, as had been their
custom for some time. The house in
question had been seized by the fed
eral authorities, and the three Chinese
who conduct it were under surveil-
lance.
Inspector Norwood had obtained
search warrants from United States
Commissioner Carpenter to enter the
premises of Fon Foy, a Chinese grocery
man at II Lafayette street, who caters
to the fashionable trade In Newark.
He found, he asserts, Fon Foy, Charles
Cong and Chi Su making opium and
preparing 1t for immediate use. They
were taken before United States Com
missioner Stockton In Newark and held
in 800 bail each for examination on
Sept. 10.
In such cases Of Illicit manufacture

worth of opium and Its products were
seized, with $1,000 In bills and $500 in
silver. The opium will be sold by the
government at auction. Deputy United
States Commissioner Beekman Of Jer-
sey City was put In charge of the case.
He left some of his deputies on the
premises, and the store was boarded up.
While the deputies were absent the
Chinese broke into the store by fore

and when the inspector returned he
found thirty Chinese in the house.
