Kenyon need have no fear that

his manly stand. taken at a time when

says the Mason City TimeA
I'm view Of the action OF the repub-
lican state convention, its dominance
by progressives, and the satisfactory
results Of the June primary says the
Davenport Times, "a third state ticket
in Iowa would be a tactical blunder on
the part Of those who wish to see the
third party win in the national fight,
or who wish to see the republican par
ty become more and more a progress
sive party. What other states may do
Is another matter
Remarking on a neighboring postof-
Ace fight the Sac Sun says: Perhaps
the Iowa progressive party plan for a
postoffice election. fairly conducted,
would not be a bad thing after all.
Doubtless some Of the patrons Of the
office who are asked to sign the petit
tons would prefer to vote by ballot.
Then they would have assurance that
the wishes of the majority would
count with the appointing power
"One of the recurring occasions for
WEAKNESS in the present campaign Is

says: Such complaints are babyish

W. o. PAYNE ON KENYON.


Senator Kenyon has finally made a
statement that the nomination Of Taft
Is very bad proposition but that he
Will support 1t. This is about what
one should have expected OF Kenyon;
provided that he should find the press
ure SO strong as to compel him to say
something. 1t accor6s with his de-
claration last year that Canadian reci-
procity was good thing that he
would not support. Senator Kenyon
knows that the late republican ma
tional convention was not merely
fraud but that also it was a conspir-
acy to defraud again in four years and
that it arranged matters so that the
thing that was done this year will
with certainty be done the next time.
II the exigencies of the outfit in con-
troll OF the national committee shall
so require. The junior senator has
been very earnest in the matter Of re-
form in Illinois. Wisconsin and other
places at distance but his courage
ooZes and he has no remedy to offer
when the occasion for reform comes
home. We have no idea that the SEN
atur's declaration now will have any
material effect on the presidential sit
uation in Iowa: but it may have the
effect of afford:ng TO some people
new light concerning Kenyon.

Thirty Cent ea.oIn. and a Substitute.


Thirty cent gasoline is rumored for
New York City. That is. the indications
point to an advance TO this point
by the garages there. Something
is said with reference to discrimination
against the garages OF that city. 1t is
asserted for instance. that gasoline is
delivered at a lower rate to garages
outside New York than TO garages in
side Of its corporate limits. 1t is pos
sible that the difference in prices is
due to the date and nature OF existing
contracts with the Standard Oil Com
pany. 1t is reasonable to assume that
all garages, and al! individual con-
sumers will soon be paying uniform
rates, and il is reasonable TO assume,
owing to the increasing use Of gasoline
that the price Will be advanced by all
garages to the point named. or that II
may even go higher. The garages
claim that they have but very small
margin Of profit at present, something
like cents a gallon. Says one OF them:
Gasoline Is highly combustible liquid
and must be kept in expensive vauls
at least six feet under ground. and
when carried about the garage in small
quantities the municipal ordinances re-
quire the use Of portable tanks which
cost $500 apiece. Under the conditions
it is impossible to handle gasoline at
a profit Of but cents a gallon.
The great point Of interest to the
consumer is that gasoline, already
much higher than 1t used to be.
is going to be much higher than It f..
It is certain, at all events. to 90 az high
as the market will bear. The next point
Of interest. and. perhaps. one more
important still, is where the remedy
is coming from. for 1t will surely come.
Every cent added to the present price
Of gasoline will hasten it's coming.
There is this consolation for the con-
sumner, that the more he is compelled
to pay for gasoline now, the more sure
" will a substitute for 1t be discovered
and put upon the market at lower
price Necessity is still the mother OF
invention. A moderate price for gaso-
line might, and probably would insure
II monopoly; an immoderate price for
it will certainly stimulate invention.
In the long run, we believe, 1t Will be
better for the consumer that gasoline
has gone up to 80 cents than that 1t
should have remained at Is. Develop
ment Of the automobile must not be
dependent or even nearly so upon any
single factor. It must not be solely de-
pendent upon gasoline. any more than
upon rubber II must be liberated from
every form Of restrictive monopoly II
It is going to be as useful as 1t ought
to be to all humanity. A substitute for
rubber is we'll on the way; assurediy
we may expect a substitute for saso-
line

liquor at the fair grounds the re-
quest will be opposed by Isaac Diggs,

tention the Byrd law, which pro-
vides that no liquor license shall be
granted in an Inappropriate place,
will be invoked by the defendant
parties In the suit. Mr.. Diggs said
last night that IL had not been de-

they would be some of the best
