whatever danger he has brought to
the Republican party, the injury he
has done to himself far surpasses
that to all others. In violating the un-
written law Of the nation from the day
of Washington down to the present

pledges to tn people of the country,
The has at one stroke of the pen pull
ed himself from the high position
which he has hitherto held in the
history of America Colonel Roosevelt
can never again regain what he has
lost. 1t Is gone forever and future
historians will have none of praise
| for him for what he has done in
demonstrating that rather than pa
triot he is nothing more than the
ioffice-seeker. His action may appeal
ito the swashbucklers, the agitators
and the demagogues, but it never will
appeal to the sober, business sense oil
the nation, and never again will he be
held in the same high regard he en-
ljoyed in the past.

And troops of dancing playmates thai

TAFT AND THE CONVENTION

The Republican convention will be
compelled to indorse the Taft admins
tration in the platform. But what
would the Endorsement amount to If
it's head should be defeated for the
nomination? Absolutely nothing. Or
do the Roosevelt people propose to
withhold commendation9 The Indian
apolis News, an independent Republi-
can paper, well says as to this:
IF they do that they will force
the Republican party to go into the
campaign confessing that It's own ad
ministration is failure, an admins
itration headed by man deliberate
lly selected by Mr.. Roosevelt, and Of
ten praised in party platform. The
Question is whether the Republican
party is going to repudiate Mr. Taft
because Perkins and his crowd do not
like the way in which he has enforced
the antitrust law. The Republican
party can not do that thing and hope
to escape a relentless exposure. Al
the shouting of the Alternately kids
would not serve to drown the indig
inant protests Of an outraged people.

The almost unbroken success OF
Taft forces in carrying caucuses and
in Iowa thus far sugg ests
the repetition Of four years ago when
the insurgent state organization lost
control. The Carroll Herald, one of
the leading weekly newspapers in the
state. has the following editorial ref
erence to the situation:
There is no doubt that Roosevelt
entrance into the contest with his
Columbus platform has lessened Sen
ator Cummins' strength In the state
Republicans who were willing to give
the state TO Cummins are afraid now
on account OF the danger of such
action redounding to the benefit OF

The Keosauqua Republican sincere
ly hopes and believes that the nation
al Republican convention will not
make the mistake of nominating
Roosevelt for President. It's reason
is a cogent and compelling one:
mo man, In any party, will ever be
elected to third term as President
of the United States. The people
will not stand for it. If Roosevelt
should be nominated he will receive
fewer electoral votes by far thar
were ever given any candidate fol
President of a leading party of this
nation"

nifcant and important as rejecting

Initiative, Referendum and Recall

thereof are the supreme law OF the
land, protecting the humblest citizen
in his rights of life, liberty and
property, no matter. whether he be-
longs to the minority or majority.
This government is not democracy,
but republic where the will Of the
majority is limited by the constitu-
ton and the laws. The crusade for
the initiative, referendum and recall
enormously assumes that majority
has the right to do anything it takes
a notion to do to the minority and to
do it in haste, not in the orderly and
deliberate way provided by the faith,
ers, but Immediately, by direct vote OF
the people who may be inflamed by
prejudice and passion, or misguided

Editor Burlington Hawk-Eyc:
Dear Sir-You ask my opinion Of
the initiative referendum and recall
Of judges and judicial decisions. |
answer that ! regard them as unnec-
.essary, unwise and revolutionary. If
adopted and given force, they will
substitute the determination Of the
whole mass of voters on matters of
which they cannot have adequate
knowledge or information for the
orderly, deliberate and better inform
ed judgment of agents elected by the
people with special regard to their
qualifications to act in the matters
committed to their care.
There is no reason for the initia-
tive and referendum. IL our law max
ers fail to do what we want, we have
only to select others who will carry
out our wishes. 1t is now the easiest
thing in the world to get a bill for a
new law introduced, and, because of
1.-THE passion for change, far too easy
to get an upwise one passed. Under
the present plan the legislator is elect
led by his fellow citizens to study pro
posed laws and see that those of merit
are passed and those without merit
defeated. The latter is far the more
| important for those concerned in the
Interpretation and administration Of
| laws know that we have already far
too many laws instead of too few
Who is better qualified to Judge
whether bill should become law
the representative whose business it is
to examine and pass on it, or the
mass Of voters at large who usually
are ignorant as to whether there is
any reason for change, or whether
/, the proposed law will be of advantage
should change be desirable?
The initiative and referendum are
4 intended to confer the power to in
itiate and make laws upon the whole
mass of voters instead of by repre-
sentatives chosen by the people
