Taft electors in Kansas, and Wilson
e. ectors in North Carolina
To suit his own personal advantage,
he proposes to revolutiouize and topsy
turveyize our entire electoral and
party government system. Since the

happen to suit Theodore, the estab-
lished order of things must be knock

His jolterhsaded egotisticsl theory
is that wherever he carried his soap
box primaries he personally owns the
electors, regardless of the fact that
they are national party electors. By
the same token, Champ Clark, and not
the party nominee. would be entitled
to the votes of the electors in Champ
Clark states-only fortunately Mr..
Clark is not crazy or desperate or
destructive enough to set up such a
claim. Of course Roosevelt's con
tention is utterly dishonest, reckless,
and subversive of all system and
usage-the proposal of political
anarchist driven to frenzy by hate
and chagrin, and capable of setting
the torch to our entire political

Even such ostriches as Finn and

for stealing electors. McHarg has
the grace to say : ANY elector on

bilitY, and of course the legality, of
a protective tariff During the last
fifteen years the business of the coun-
try has been conducted under a pro-
tectlve tariff as shaped by Republican
administration during this period.
Shall free trade take its place? The
Democratic platform distinctly
answers-yes. The election of
Democratic president and Congress in
November will usher in free trade
unless the platform of the Democratic
party is repudiated in its first and
foremost clause. In some quarters it
is limited that full free trade will be
evaded, as during President CleVe
lands second term, that nightmare of
business depression. But no evasive
party can be trusted. It's proper
treatment is defeat.
That the business activities of the
United States have been enormously
developed in the last fifteen years is
matter of common knowledge. Every
census bulletin is an example of the
increase. Thus speaks protection for
itself. It's record is an array of &C.
complished facts, not theory with
string of promises attached Look at
the tents of thousands of factories in
operation and the vastly enlarged in
dusties Of the last decade. Note that
the foreign demand for American
manufactured articles has mounted to
more than a billion dollars, four
fold gain. in the last ten years. Is
not this matter for careful thought
by the great army of men engaged In
the myriad forms of manufacturing
that have sprung up under the two
Republican protective tariffs in force
since 1897? There has been equally
protection for the farms and the
mines. Its story is in results. To
foreit it will be calamitous, as was
proved in the last Democratic
administration, which dabbled in
and muddIed with free trade of a
halfway sort. There is better way

doing so because they are reluctant to

tsggaething worth while for the COM

aud JheZr intentions unjustly ques
toned, so that their service is made

understand, then, that factiOnalism is

Des Moines. March 20.-State insti-
tuition heads can not only give farm
ers pointers as to how to gather and
save seed corn but also how to maloe
whatever tests are needed to show that
such seed corn is to be depended on.
Superintendent F. ]. Sessions, OF the
orphans homo at Davenport, brought
to the office Of the board Of control a
sample of his seed corn testing. 1t is
simple, cheap and more effective, SO he
says, than any patented device or rag
doll scheme. He has one-inch pine
boards, about 14x24 inches in size. with
grooves along one side and one-inch
holes bored part way thru from the
other side There are 100 holes to
board, and each will hold two grains
Of corn for testing. The boards with
the corn i'll place are piled Up ard
clamped together. soaked in water and
drained, then kept In warm place.
The rest is easy. Superintendent Ses-
sions has already tested about thirty
bushels Of corn in this way with prac-
tically no showing Of deficient condi-
ton Of the corn.
At all. the institutions much stress
has been placed on gathering the seed
corn and not much on use of testers.

ages from II. F. Schneider for dcfama-
tion of character. Mr. Haynes was
cashier Of the Rudd bank. In n legal
document flied he was accused by Mr..
Schneider and others Of shortage in the
banks account. The matter came up
in The courts of this county. and, ow-
Ing to the vast amount of expert work
in connection with the case, Col. w. a,
Rurnap, of Clear Lake. was appointed
referee He has gone thru the books
OF the bank and heard all the expert
testimony in reference to the matter
and has now filed his opinion.
He finds that F. w. Haynes owes the
bank $12.360.20. The referee also holds
that there has been no settlement that
would be bar to transactions alleged
in plaintiffs petition prior to July "a,
1903. that the statute OF Limitation ~
not a bar to this action because a part
nership has been shown and IN such

ship, and that the plaintiff exercised
due diligence in the examination Of at
fairs Of the Band OF Rudd and did not
discover the frauds or mistakes al
legged until March. 1910. and therefore
tho statute Of limitation would be no
bar in this case. The plaintin has not
yet fully decided whether this matter
will be brought to the attention OF the
grand jury or not. The procedure that
will be taken depends largely upon the

The Woodrow Wilson people have
taken a fresh grip on the situation and
are prepared to get into the game for
a winning. They do not hesitate TO
say that their rivals are resorting to
questionable means for deceiving the
democrats Of the state as to the real
situation. For instance, Taylor county
gave an instructed delegation for Will

been unable to get the fact published
