American people had lost faith in the
Spanish promises The immediate
cause of the war in the Balkan PENN.
sula was the lack of confidence of the
federated states in the Turkish
pledges of better government.
For fifteen years the Turks have
been making promises about Mace
donia. AS far back as 1899 the Mace
DOMAIN committed was appealing to
the powers to give Macedonia self
government under a Bulgarian COVER
nor-general. Four years later Austria
and Russia drew up reform plan
providing for an inspector general to
supervise the program. No progress
resulted, there were repeated EFFORTS
to bolster up the scheme without sue
cess and finally the Balkan states,
unable to Withstand further the ap
peals Of their fellow countrymen I'M
der Turkish rule, took matters into
their own hands. Turkey promised to
make the reforms. They insisted on
international control to see that the
reforms actually were carried out
Turkey refused and war followed.
"Civilization makes certain de-
mands,". the Star adds. 1T REQUIRES
certain standards of humanity and de-
cency Nations are still ready to 60 to
war to enforce these DEGREES OF an en-
lightened public opinion"

our government and politics. There
has never been SO much noise before,
never so much epithetical badinage
and never so much of humiliation for
our national speech and conduct. The
tone Of American life has been low
cred through the tone of our politics.
And one reason why Wilson won
the affections of the American people
Is found In the fact that he was not
wrangler, did not liken himself to a
rat that had turned at last, Is Taft did
in New Jerseys unfortunate phrase)
nor did he talk of smuggling mere
political opponent through the ropes.
Wilson was gentleman who put the
dignity Of his own manhood into the
campaign, and that is one reason why
he won out.
But let us think these things over.
while we are SOLDERING on, and while
we are wiping the tears out Of our
eyes and the blood from our noses.
For heavens sake, let us think
and pray.
Amen.

sentative, democratic or republican,
no matter whether those party names
have ceased to signify exactly what
they did In the days OF their grand
fathers. It Ia obviously this almost
Infinite adaptability of parties that In
crease their chances Of survival. AT
the very moment when they are said
to be WORKOUT, exhausted. and fit only
to be discarded, new elements OF life
and popular strength may be infused
into them.
A terrible blow the republican party
has unquestionably suffered. But at
present there IL DO convincing reason
for asserting that 1t has met with
more than a disaster. from which there
may be recovery. The party has IN
other years shown too great a power OF
recuperation to, warrant these hasty
conclusions that it has now been
"annihilated." 1t still has hold upon
tho affections and loyalty Of millions.
II still numbers many able leaders and
skilled politicians. We may be sure
that they are not thinking Of aband-
oning their party name, or of giving
up hope. They will eagerly watch for
opportunity to grasp the skirts OF
circumstances and to he carried back
into power. Revolution for revolution
they will count upon one working IN
their favor In the course Of years, and
by the law of averages. II all else
fails them, they will draw courage
from their belief in the inability OF the
democrats long to refrain from quar-
reling and laundering.

GOVERNOR CLARKE.

Cedar Rapids Republican: Cover.
nor-elect Clarke will have to content
himself with the homely consolation
that plurality of one or two thou
sand elects just as surely as a plu.
rality Of $4,000. But for him the cleo
ton was close call, one Of the clos.
est in the history Of Iowa politics.
Even Horace Boies was able to scare
up bigger pluralities for himself.
But, in any event, the people OF
Iowa are assured Of good man in
the governors chair. George W.
Clarke, we believe, will make cred
table governor, a worthy successor
Of other able men In that Office.
There is no pretense or clap trap about
him. He is not a show horse, but a
work horse. He is plain, substantial
man Of the people who has already
rendered the state some services. He
is fair minded and just and zkrong in
the things he believes. He will be
an administrator, and not an orator In
Office. He will be able to give such a
good account of himself that two
years hence he may be able to show
the proverbial republican majority OF
$4,000, or, up to $4,000.

Stories About People.
A Jolt for the Judge.

A case was being tried in the west OF
England and at it's termination the
Judge charged the jury and they retired
for consultation. Hour after hour
passed and no verdict was brought in.
The Judges dinner hour arrived and
he became hungry and impatient.
Upon inquiry he learned that one
obstinate juryman was holding out
against eleven. That he could not
stand, and he ordered the twelve men
to be brought before him. He told
them that In his charge to them he had
50 plainly stated the case and the law
that the verdict ought to be unanimous
and the man who permitted his in
dividual opinion to weigh against the
Judgment Of eleven men Of wisdom was
unfit and disqualified ever again to
act in the capacity Of juryman.
At the end Of this excited harangue
a little squeaky voice came from one
OF the jury. He said: "Will your
lordship allow me to say a word?'
Permission being given he added:
MAY 1t please your lordship, am the
only man on your side."-Case and
Comment.

Sure ThInq Election Bet.

Des MONIES Capital: One Of the local
sports doped, out plan to beat the
uncertainty of election bets and
cleared up quite good pot of money.
His System" was to make three bets
in q series He would bet one man
IS that Taft would lose. another IS
that Wilson would lose and another IS
that Roosevelt would lose. AS there
were three candidates and two were
bound to lose the man would win two
of his bets everytime he was able to
get his series completed. AS soon as
three bets were made on this system
another series was started. The diff
Guilty in finishing the series was to get
men who would bet that Taft would
not lose. The other two chances
were readily picked up. Several Of the
local Taft politicians are said to have
put up small pot to bet on Taft and
this man with his system took three
or four whirls at 1t II rumors are true.
This may be a good bunch to remem-
Der If there Is another three cornered
fight for president. /,

There is criticism Of the operation
of the voting machine at Des Moines
during the recent election. Lack OF
knowledge as to the manner of ma
nipulating the machine Is said to have
invalidated the ballots OF many vot'
ers who thought they were voting
"a straight ticket when they voted only
the head of the ticket. 1t is charged
that in. one township the lever was
locked over the name Of one OF the
candidates until 2 o'clock In the aft
ernoon Of election day. There seems
to be more agitation at present for
smaller election precincts and trained
election officials than for voting ma
chimes.

TAFTrs PLACE IN HISTORY.

History will deal much more sym.
pathetical1y with Mr.. Taft than old
the popular majority at the polls, and
its verdict Will not long be delayed,
according to the view OF the New
York World (dem.) The World holds
that the fate that has taken him was
not deserved. It believes there will be
1 reversal of the popular judgment as
to him, and that 1t will be tempered
by knowledge and sympathy. Touch
ing on Mr.. Taft's accomplishments as
president, the World says:
He has been constitutional mag
istrate, governing by law and not by
caprice. He has given US the greatest
supreme court since the days OF Mar
shall and Story. He was the flrst
president to enforce the criminal
clauses Of the Sherman law He mas
urged the reform of judicial pro.
cedure. He has powerfully supported
the cause of arbitration. He has
worked for reciprocity. He has sup.
pressed jingoism, He has promoted
civil service reform. He brought about
the corporation tax. He has had re-
gard for economy.
The World holds the Payne-Aldrich
tariff law to have been Tarts chlet
stumbling block. 1t believes he should
have vetoed that bill and withheld
the vetoes of the democratic revision
bill. This Is the natural position Tor
the democrat to take. The World
confessas. it's inability to understand
why the president was punished TOT
these acts at the hands Of men call
ing themselves high tarih repuoli-
cans. Certainly they should have up
held the presidents tarin record
Summing up the World says:
Judged either by his virtues or his
mistakes. he is a president who has
mot unmerited humiliation. Defeat
was necessary and inevitable. but only
BY treachery and ingratitude could It
Be made 10 overwhe Ginning.
We believe that an informed and
charitable public opinion will pres
entity transfer this reproach from
the nan to the system, The man will
Be remembered for the good that he
has done. The system, OF which ne
has been the most notable victim,
will be destroyed. 80.

Judgment Of $14O was found for the

Now neither side is anxious to try
