Holden's support In claiming that II
was good land. Harvey Ingham pub
fishes the 'vindication" and thinks the
case IL settled.
It IL immaterial whether the land
was good or bad, the point is that
Professor Holden used his influence as
an agricultural expert employed by the
state OF Iowa to boost his private for
tune In Idaho at the expense Of Iowa.
That charge sticks. and 1t Is the only
charge worth considering.
Professor Holden does not appear to
have a single qualification for COVER
nor aside from the fact that he Is a
seed corn expert. Governor Carroll
didn't appeal for votes on the grounds
that he could milk COW, tho 1t turned
out that he was an expert In that line.
The time has passed when Iowa farm
ers will vote for man because he has
hay seed in his hair. Neither will they,
as a group Of seed corn testers, vote
for q man who runs on nothing but a
seed corn platform.
The easiest way to dispose OF the
Holden boom is to drop 1t. 1t will cut
mighty little figure in the primary.

Watterson on Roosevelt.
Henry Watterson in the Louisville

Courier-JOurnaL1
The stars in their courses fought
for him. Good fortune waited upor
him. In luck nothing goes anIiss
In luck even the tyro plays well. Presto
change! The real test comes witt
reverse of fortune. which John Oak
hurst tells us is the only thing GER
tain in cards and dice, and which we
know to be equally certain in politics
Measured by this. Mr.. Roosevelt being
no longer on the inside Of the game
shows to signal disadvantage.
There has been no popular upris-
ing because the people feel that II
comes with i'll grace for Mr.. Roosevelt
so soon and so savagely to challenge
an administration he brought into
power, and so wantonly to menace the
party whose extremisms, usurpations
and tyrannies he has never failed tc
approve. There has been no popular
uprising because he demands for him
self third term in the presidency
whose occupant he has told US has
such opportunities to deploy his forces
and prolong his tenure. There has been
no popular uprising because many who
were his admirers and are still his
friends believe that IL they grant his
wish and return him to the White
House, how-according to his own
showing-might they hope ever to get
him out again? Would not the need
Of 1912 become the exigency Of 1916!
And, by 1920, what else than Mexican
election, a la Daz, could be expected
from a man so cocksure and Intrepid
The argument is irresistible. If Taft
is so strong now, with all his placid
obedience to law and custom, what
would Roosevelt be four years hence,
reinvested with the big stick and re-
commissioned to raise all the hell to
the square inch that may occur to a
self interest so exacting and imperfous
and love OF power so robust and I'M
conventional? Naughty man," ex-
claims the spinster in Richardson
novel, "once in your rude tolls
would be lost indeed So the people
answer the love making Of Theodore
Roosevelt and thus he falls betwixt
the two stools of overweening am
bition and popular incredulity.
Much greater than a third term In
the presidency-than life tenure in the
White House-awaited him two years
ago, when, q very conquering nero
he returned, the most famous OF Nv
ing Americans, from tour de force
unAxampled in history or fiction. He
seemed, indeed, a mailed knight Of the
crusades come back to life from the
Holy Land His friends felt their en- :
thusiasm justified. His enemies were
ready to captulate. Another Cincin-
natus, he might retire to his Long
Island farm and wait the event OF
fhe public need to call him thence.
Why should such man before the
sound OF the greeting Joy bells had
died away be eager to strip to the
waist and to descend into the bull ring
Of party politics?

Psrjury-A Common Thing.
Tnt-oh1 Dan


A lawyer says that perjury is go
common in witnesses at court that he
is often appalled, at the very thought
of it. The judge knows it, the oppos-
ing counsel know 1t, and surely the
Jurors can not be ignorant Of 1t. But
he asks, what are you going to do
about it? It has become a habit with
many. How uproot it? Few persons
who have sat in a couEt room during
the progress of a trial but must have
concluded that perjury is very COM
mon on the witness Sandstone of
it deliberate and some merely reck
less In spite Of that solemn obliga-
ton in the form of an oath to which
every witness subscribes to tell the
truth. the whole truth and nothing
but the truth, so help me God"
1t is not pleasant thing to con-
template so general social evil. for
it is nothing short OF that. Where
does the lie stop? Not in the utter
ance of words, surely. And when
these words are uttered as the sworn
testimony of legal witnesses they be-
come even more serious than the lie or
half-truth that rolls off lips unobliged
by formal oath to tell the truth. AS the
lawyer quoted asks. What are we go
ing to do about 1t? Well, perjury is a
crime. Perhaps If it were adequately
punished it would do no harm. There
would still be task enough to give dis
t-ess to scrupulous consciences even
then.

EXPLANATION THAT FAILS TO EXPLAIN.

AdherentS OF the preSlueht an az
tempting to explain his crushing de1eae
in the Illinois primaries by asserting
tho, local conditions. such as Lorimer-
ism are responsible. 1t is not an eH-
planation in Illinois more than 1t is IN
North Dakota Wherever the presi-
dents demand for another term has
been put directly up to the people the
answer has been the same. The voters
have firmly and Enthusiastically refused
to endorse 1t.
If there is explanation 1t is that re-
pudiation Of Lorimerism is not local
but general, that Ballingerism and
Lorimerism and Aldrichism and Can
nonis,n and a multitude Of other isms
repugnant to the voters have been con-
nected in the minds Of the people with
the past administration to create OPP
position to the demand that the presi-
dent shall be continued in office four
years longer. Analysis of the Illinois
vote precinct by precinct and county
by county makes plainly evident that
the voters were distinctly opposed to
Taft and so cast their ballots. All over
the state the ratio of opposition was
three to one against. In many parts
of the state it ran to almost solid op-
more against Taft than it was cast for
Roosevelt. Primarily it was cast for
the movement which had aligned itself
upon Roosevelt thru his terms of office
and against the Taft conception of the
movement as the Roosevelt legatee. 1t
was so in North Dakota where the ex-
1t was SO in Illinois. 1t is so wherever
the voters have been permitted to ex-
press preference in presidential pri-
mary.
It is we'll to bear in mind when can
wasting the Illinois returns that the
Taft managers were not afraid Of the
state While they did not welcome it
they agreed to it with the expectation
Of carrying the state handily. It was
an important point and there was
nothing left undone to further the
presidents interests. 1t was the state
of the chairman Of the national COM
mittee and Taft's manager. Still in
McKinley's district the reputation Of
the second term proposition was de-
cisive and not to be mistaken.
There is but one explanation Of the
popular refusal to endorse the presi-
dent for another term. The voters of
the party do not want him. With all
due Difference to the president and his
many fine qualities this is business
proposition. The party IL to succeed
or be defeated in close contest this
wear by the votes of the very men who
are 30 decidedly voicing their protest
against his denomination. The only
explanation is that the popular vote OF
the republican party is opposed to

THAT FRANKLIN DELEGATION.


The delegation from Franklin coun-
ty, Iowa, in breaking away from their
alleged reputation as progressive re-
publicans and voting for over twelve
hours with the standpatters for stand
pat delegates to the national conven-
ton. are said to be In rather bad at
home.
Just why progressive. republicans,
elected from a progressive county in
Iowa, should be able to be used by
the Taft forces at Waterloo as they
were is hard to tell. The most rea-
sonable presumption is that upon the
delegation were some men Of persua-
sive powers with Taft leanings, who
were able to hypnotic the remaining
members and draw them from their
duty Of county representation. The
length of the deadlock gave the trance
sleepers a chance to come out from
under the influence and come clean
with the people who elected them.
The result was vote for the pro-
gressive delegates who will go to Chi
cago to support A. B. Cummins. The
Franklin county delegation in the end
performed It's duty. but It was mighty
slow and reluctant about 1t. Next time
