POLITICAL MEETINGS IN SCHOOLS.

Middlesex county Progressives are right in
their contention that public school houses
should be thrown open to all kinds of public
meetings. There is no more fitting place in any
town than the auditorium of a high school in
which to discuss politics. By all means keep
politics and the administration of the public
schools entirely separate, but there should be
a free discussion on all public topics and the
people who have erected the schools as institu-
tons of learning should have free access to
them to carry on such discussions.
There is an agitation all through the coun-
try for making the school houses more of So
cial centers in the various communities, and
opening the buildings to political meetings by
all parties is q step in this line.

IOWA DEMOCRATIC.

So far as we can see the outcome
the only possible effect OF third
party movement will be to give
Governor Wilson the democratic
nominee, the electoral vote OF Iowa.
There are enough republicans in
Iowa for one party, there are not
enough for two successful ones.
| With the present prospects before
! the democratic party there is NO
probability of any considerable
! democratic support going to Roose-
welt. For many years the helpless
ness of democratic success has caused
many voters to vote a republican
ticket who will this year vote for
Governor Wilson. There is NO
| reason to look for any increase in
the republican vote. In 1904 ROose-
welt received 10000 votes, the Free
Silver element of the democratic
party quite largely boiling their
candidate. In 1907 Taft received
275,21O votes and Bryan 2OO,77l.
There is no reason to expect any
| falling off this year in the democrat
ic vote. as we take it for granted
that democrats will vote their own
ticket this year pretty nearly unani-
mously.
Upon the basis of 1908 the repub-
lican vote, if all cast for one candi-
date, cannot be expected to exceed
that of 1908. This leaves possible
majority of $4,000 votes that may
be cast against Wilson. How many
of this 275, 900 republican votes will
20 to Taft and how many to Roose-
welt? We do not believe it possible
that Mr.. Roosevelt, as bolter, upon
third party ticket can get one
half of them. But to carry the state
over a democratic vote OF 100000 he
must get three fourths OF them In
other words he must get consider
;; ably more than 100000 votes and
Taft, as the regular republican
nominee, must get less than 49,
0O0-in order to give Roosevelt a
plurality over Wilson.
In view of these figures we can see
but one possible result if the Roose-
welt ticket cuts any figure at all and
that will be to give Iowa to the
democrats this year Probably this
is what the Roosevelt move is aimed
Iowa will be true in other states.
Taft carried Indiana in 1908 by 49,
ISL plurality with a total vote OF
349,OOO. How many votes can
either Taft or Roosevelt lose this
year and win Indiana?
Delaware was carried for Taft in
1908 by 1884, Kansas by only
37,OO7, Montana by 3,0O7, New
Jersey by S2,759 with a republican
vote of 572,312. These figures
show that any considerable division
of the republican vote in all these
states means democratic success

BRYAN AND ILLINOIS.

William Jennings Bryan will take
the stump for Gov. Wilson and the
democratic party about September
10.
1t is Bryan's plan to begin the
campaign in Indiana with Gov.
Marshall, and from that as start
ing point, make a vigorous and ex-
tended tour of the entire north.
This programme should dispose of
the silly rumor that Bryan is "sulk-
ing in his tent"-but it will not. 1t
is the only mean thing Bryan's en-
emies have left to say, and they
must say something. Therefore,
they will continue to repeat the
baseless and absurd yarn.
The Journal trusts that Bryan
will make a liberal allotment Of
time to his native state of Illinois.
There is no state in which his
genius is held in warmer esteem.
There is no debatable state, save
New York, which can give a larger
electoral boost to the democratic
candidate and party.
There is no state where the gov
eminent needs more thorough
overhauling of the sort that the re-
juvenated democratic party can give.
There is no state whose capture by
the party would be Of greater per-
manent advantage, both to the party
and to the state.
Let us have a liberal share of
Bryan's time and genius and energies
in Illinois.-Chicago Journal.

FIGHT AND FIGHT HARD.

When it is known that thing is
to be done nothing can be gained
by Understanding the difficulty OF
it, while everything may be lost by
overconfidence. Senator Gore is
right, therefore, in advising demo-
Gratis to remember that they are
fighting a determined and powerful
enemy. So far in this campaign
democrats have INDUCED themselves
considerably in the contemplation OF
the split in the republican party.
Doubtless the Roosevelt detection is
a factor in democratic strength this
year, but nobody knows exactly
what it will amount to. 1t is we'll
that the forces behind President
Taft will be supplied with, an i'm
mense campaign fund and that they
will be led by men who are past
masters in the art of politics. The
protected interests will use every
deceit and vile known to them for
the purpose of persuading working
men, farmers and business men that
prosperity is dependent upon the
present high tariff. They have
frightened the country into that be-
lief before and will try it again.
They must be met and vigorously
combatted at every point, to the end
that democratic principles may pre-
vail and to the further end that the
majority for Wilson may be so de-
cisive as to leave no doubt where
the country stands. Republic.

"DEFEAT THE SENATOR'S"

The sooner the republicans tell
the whole Roosevelt order OF cranks
to go to hades, and then go out and
skip every mothers son of a candl-
date who is not heartily for the
national republican ticket and plat
form, the better it will be for the
republican party. We have had
namby-pambyism long enough.
Here in Iowa the Taft men have TAX
en- insults and are taking them every
day, without much complaint. 1t
we have not the courage to fight.
then let's admit we are towards and
deserve what we are getting.
Kenyon and Cummins have both
made their campaign on the theory
that they could kick the rear anato-
my of the Taft men in Iowa and
that the only result would be Wry
faces and some scratching OF the at
fected parts. The Taft men now
have the opportunity to make both
the senators get upon their knees,
and for one, we are in favor OF
bringing them to that position, and
then tell them to look to the men
they work with in Washington for
help. 1t will not be much effort to
make the next legislature democratic
and we are chumps if we do not con-
tribute to that end. 1t is all right
for Kenyon and Cummins to affiliate
with the democrats in the senate, in
order to embarass Taft, then why is
it not equally proper for republicans
in Iowa to join with democrats in
Iowa affairs?
1t is very clear that the Kenyon
and Cummins leaders intend to de-
feat most of the state ticket and all
the Taft electors in Iowa, and we
assume they will do it. Then why
should the Taft men help save the
legislature? Unless the progressives
who claim they are not for a third
party come out and vigorously sup
port Taft he cannot carry Iowa.
If they do this, then there will be
no room for complaint. II both
Kenyon and Cummins come out
squarely for Taft there will be har-
mony in Iowa all along the line. II
only Kenyon comes out squarely
and speaks openly and vigorously
for Taft, then we favor the election
of every republican candidate for the
house and the defeat of all the re-
puDllCdu CduuludleS lOI SGudlc W uSIC
possible, and most of them can be
defeated. This will give the demo-
Gratis a strong lead two years from
next winter and will make it easier
for the democrats to capture the
legislature and elect a senator to
succeed Cummins.
The Republican never fights in the
dark. 1t always fights in the open.
1t owes nothing to any party, and
nothing to candidates for state,
district or legislature. 1t speaks for
itself and tells just what it is in
favor of doing. 1t knows that many
others papers favor the same course
and that thousands will vote along
the lines suggested. The sooner the
! republicans of Iowa have had a
house cleaning the better, and the
way to do the job and make it count
is to elect a democratic legislature
this fall and then repeat the dose
two years hence, and while we are
about it defeat every insurgent
member OF ongress.-Iowa City

THE SUGAR TRUST.

Every time the housewife orders
a dollars worth of sugar from the
grocery, she gets little less than
20 cents worth OF sugar, and a
little more than 80 cents worth of
tariff.
Every time the western farmer
votes in favor of sugar tariff, he
votes against the development of the
fruit canning and preserving in
dustry, and he votes for a subsidy
to the Mormon church.
Every time the consumer buys a
bit of jelly, can of preserved fruit,
or even a stick of chewing gum, he
pays a tribute not only to the gov
eminent, but to the Mormon-Have-
meyer combination, which has a
strangle hold on the sugar business.
If there is any reason why the
extortation thus expounded should
continue, will somebody please rise
and explain?

THE TENDER POINT.

In view of the character OF the
democratic nominee, the democratic
platform and the present temper OF
democratic leadership, why do not
the men in the progressive move
ment who really desire progress
cast in their lot with us?
There is, we believe, just one
chief reason: the progressive adora-
ton of the protective principle
in tariff making. 1--WE believe,
says the progressive platform, in
the protective tariff
There is no use mincing matters.
The thing the progressive SO warm
ly champions-for the platform
goes on through the familiar for
mula as to "equalizing conditions OF
competition and all the rest OF 1T
is the thing which the demo-
cracy is especially anxious to smite
between the eyes. The difficulty OF
merging the honest and sincere
portion of the Roosevelt followers
into the Wilson following is precisely
the difficulty of fusing two companies
when the evil angel of the one is
the good angel of the other.
This is written in no unappre-
ciative or unfriendly spirit. There
is in the progressive ranks an ell
ement that should be in the demo-
cratic party, but is restrained by
allegiance to the tariff. Compro-
mise is impossible, but conversion
is highly to be desired Now is
the time when democrats should be
ready to give a reason for the faith
that is in them.
nh I,,1o
to begin. Under the Payne-Aldrich
law the duty on clothing wool is "A
per cent The bill which President
Taft just vetoed would have reduc-
ed this to 29 per cent. This is,
roughly, one-third off. The duty on
some grades of combed woods is
252 per cent. The president is will
ing to sanction a 20 per cent reduc-
ton of this tremendous tax, but
thinks any greater cut would be
''ruinous" to the industry.
There is no occasion to be tech
meal. The anxious inquirer need
not burden his weary mind with fig
ures. Let him remember just one
or two facts. This nation inhabits
the breadth of continent. We
have hundreds of thousands OF
square miles of semi-arid land speci-
ally adopted to the raising of sheep.
In mechanical ingenuity we are un-
surpassed among the peoples of the
earth We have nearly 60,OOO,OOO
sheep and clip annually more than
250,OO0,000 pounds of wool.
Why should this great and -four
ishing industry need to be protect
ed by laying a tax on the clothing
of the poor and the material COM
posing it varying from almost one
half the value of the product to
more than twice it's value?
Why should everybody be taxed
for somebody?
How can the progressive party be
true to it's name if it leaves the
iniquity of the tariff off it's list OF
evils to be opposed? You cannot
make a party progressive by calling
it progressive AS Lincoln remark
ed, if you call a sleeps tail a leg
it will still have but four legs, for
the change in name does not change
the thing.
The progressive party proposes to
get rid of the bosses and the cor
ruptionists. 1t never can so long as
it drags that ark of the covenant OF
graft, the protective tariff, along
with it. For where the carcass is
hither also will the vultures be
gathered tOgether.-St. Louis Re-
