Now that the personal organ OF
Col. Young In this city has admit
ted that the colonel is the gentle
man who took the initiative in hold
ing up the appointment of a Web
ster City postmaster there will be
less disposition on the part Of pat
rons of the Office to place the re-
sponsibility where it doesn't belong.
But all of this annoyance coull
have been avoided had Congress
man Woods accepted the suggestion
of Candidate McFerren and his
friends to leave it to the people"
at primary. 1t always leads to
trouble when the politicians under
take to override vox populi By
the-way, Col. Young seems to have
a penchant for getting in where he
is not wanted and where he has no
business. He was also instrument
al in holding UP the appointment of
postmaster at Marshalltown.
This naturally raises the question:
BY what authority does a private
citizen OF Des Moines hold up post
master appointments in towns in
various parts of the state? LET the
people rule"

What the republican party wants
this year in its presidential nominee
Is man who can carry such states
as New York, Indiana and Ohio and
be elected. Cummins or Roosevelt
can do it.

If we only had a presidential

The publishers Of the Freeman
Tribune have been in the newspaper
business for a third of a century,
but there are number of things
connected with the financial end of
the business they cannot grasp. Here
is the Des Moines Capital, worth
probably half million dollars, pay
ing taxes upon an assessed valuation
of only 1,500-just the amount
upon which the Freeman-Tribune is
paying. We would like to know
how the Capital arranges the mat

AN INJUSTICE.

where they are going to scrape up
that many republicans in the Lone
Star state without resorting to i'm

$500 votes in Texas. against ST.

And Iowa gave Taft in 1908,
375.21O votes and Iowa has but 26
delegates in the national conven-
ton. Thus under the unfair and in
defensible way of apportioning dele
gates to a republican national con-
vention one Texas republican yields
as much power in naming the nomi-
nee for president is as welded by
eight republicans in Iowa. Perhaps

Following the strong address Of
Senator Kenyon in the senate of the
United States few days ago in
support OF pending pension legisla-
ton, Senator Hepburn called atten-
ton to some things that should not
be forgotten by the people Of this
country in their day of great pros
perity. Senator Hepburn said among
other things:
It is appropriate on this day and
at this particular time to call atten-
tion to a fact in addition to those
facts referred to by the distinguished
Senator from Iowa (Mr. Kenyon.
1t seems not to be generally known
that in July, 1854, when Early's
army was within the limits OF the
District of Columbia. overlooking
the Capitol--and perhaps all Sena-
tors have gone to view that spot
at that hour when the Government
had tried to raise, first, 100000
900 of the money lenders, and had
been refused, on Z per cent basis,
and then had tried to raise $780,
900, 900 of the money lenders and
had been again refused because OF
the darkness Of that hour, the sold
iers in the field loaned the Govern
ment of the United States $4,000
600 out of their pay at the paymas- +,
ter's wagon. That money came into
the Treasury OF the United States
and tided the Government over that
dark hour. These men are those re-
ferred to by the Senator from Iowa.
They did that at the expense Of the
comfort of their families and homes.

The opponents of Roosevelt have
now started the story that the form
er great president will head an in
dependent movement to capture the
presidency If he fail to secure the
nomination at Chicago. OF course
there is nothing in it. Roosevelt
has pledged his support to the re-
publican nominee, which is more
than Taft has done.
The opponents of Senator Cum
minis are pulling off what they hope
will be an advantage to Taft. They
are holding early caucuses in the
sure standpat coun les and then
make lot of noise over the result.
That is an old trick and will fool
nobody. First thing we know the
opposition to the senator will be
Dragging because Hon. John r. La
cey is against him.
The Illinois Roosevelt committee
has received replies from 1922 pre-
cinct committeeman in Illinois, and
of this number 1904 have expressed
themselves as favorable to the nom
nation of Roosevelt for the presi-
dency. One hundred and ninety
eight have expressed themselves as
favorable to the nomination of Taft
and 1,407 have as yet not expressed
a preference. In all there are $3.50

The House of Lords.

The house of lords was composed
chiefly of clerics until the time of Ed
ward III. Thus in 1895 the peers were
ninety spiritual and forty-nine lay
members, including twenty archbish-
ops and bishops, sixty-seven abbots
and priors and three masters of or
ders. Many clerical dignitaries sum-
moned did not attend at Westminster,
refusing to recognize the authority of
parliament over their own conyoca-
lions of Canterbury and York. 1t was
partly from this cause that the lords
spiritual decreased in number until
early IN the reign of Edward III. the
upper house consisted of eighty-six lay
and only forty-fve clerical peers, while
during Elizabeth's parliament there
were forty-three and twenty-six respec

TONE UP THE BODY.
It Will Help to Fortify Your System
Against Serious Illness.

II Will Help to Fortify Your Systsm
Against Serious Illness.
There is a saying, much wiser and
cheaper than it seems at first glance,
to the effect that you won't get sick
if you keep we'll" 1t is half testing
way of setting forth profound truth,
The risks and exposures Of life are
so many and so insidious that they
cannot be escaped. The only hope OF
passing through them unframed is to
keep the body so strong and sound
that it can defend itself against the
diseases which are constantly lying in
wait for the unguarded and the weak.
1t is a mere commonplace to say
that one man will take exactly the
same course and face precisely the
same risks that another man finds
fatal and go entirely unscathed. Some
times 1t is a difference born in the two
organisms. but often it is the result
of different living and different condi-
tons in respect to strength and health.
If the body is maintained at high
state of efficiency and If care is taken
to overcome and correct the little dis
orders and signs OF trouble as soon as
they appear there is not much danger
of serious Illness. The small pre-
cautions and the constant toning up Of
the body by exercise, fresh air, SEN
sible eating and drinking and Austen
ton from all excuses and follies ward
off prolonged and often desperate
struggles against disease.
1t is the principle of the old adage,
"a stitch in time saves nine" The
same rule applies TO the care of health.
