Rome, while hc was on his late

Friend Coats, Roosevelt was a
Republican then; it might have
been that he thought 81 that
time he could take the Fatition
from the Pope and carry it away
on his back. Like the nouina-

But Friend Coats, there is one
thing we can answer, and that Is,
when Roosevelt could not dine
with the pope without sacrificing
The American Progressive prin,
cipalS, he did not dine with the
pope. not a bit more shan he did
when the stand pat republicans
stole the nomination OF Taft,
When the pope said TO Roosevelt

was man enough to snub the
pope. And he was and is man
enough to face the Taft stand,

the reasons for him not dining

ADAMS FOB COMMITTEEMAN.

Hon. John T. Adams of Dubuque
manager of the Taft campaign in this
state, is cordially endorsed by the
Burlington Hawk-Eye for member OF
the national Republican committee
from Iowa. Its reasons for this pref
erence are valid ones. to.wit.
He deserves it first because of his
successful fight for Senator Allison,
and, second, because OF the brilliant
result of his recent campaign for
Taft. He is most capable, careful
and painstaking gentleman, deliberate
and straight with his friends and
straight in the fight. No man in the
state deserves the honor more. 1t will
sit gracefully upon him. and he will
wear 1t modestly, and at the same time
he will be one OF the strong and eff
f1cient workers in the national cause
of Republicanism.s
The Gate City agrees with the
Hawk-Eye both in Its statement Of the
case and in its conclusion Mr.. Adj
ans has accomplished a great work
for the party and the country in the
state and has fairly earned the distinc-
ton of being made a member of the
national committee. This paper hopes
to see him honored as he deserves.

LAFE YoUNe's CANVASS.
He is Gaining Strength Daily and
Only Question is as to Size Of
His Majority.

DES MONIES, Ia, May Out OF
the storms of the recent Republican
state convention one thing comes
clear cut and certain-that is, that
the candidacy of LATE Young for the
Republican nomination for United
States senator is stronger today than
at any time since he became actively
candidate for the nomination. The
temper of the delegates at the con.
vention indicated that the majority
OF them favored the return of Senator
Young to the senate chamber.
Senator Young this week is ex-
ceedingly busy, speaking from Sunday
until Saturday night He will cover
several sections of the state, speaking
four and Ave times day where it Is
possible. He Is in great demand.
From Missouri Valley in the west of
the state to DyersviIle, over In Du.
buque county, is a long jump, but
Senator Young is making it, stopping
at several places en- route.
He is speaking this week at Mis-.
souri, Valley, Manchester, Dyersville
Eariville, Arlington. Waterloo. Del
vein Maynard, Fayette, Randalia
Davenport, Clarinda, Centerville and
Moulton.
In each of these places Senator
Young has a large personal following
and has been assured of a large crowd
to hear his address. 1t is necessary
I for him to make that many onaaoboe
every week to meet the demands
which have been made upon his time
The greater part of last week was
/ spent by the senator at the state
convention. His headquarters were I'm
parlor D at the Montrose hotel and
they were always crowded. At times,
while his room was full, the senator
was compelled to hold receptions in
front of other headquarters, notably
SO when going from the dining room
to parlor D.
Following the state convention, Sen.
ator Young received hundreds of
pledges of support which were en-
tirely unexpected. Editors, LAWYERS.
farmers, merchants. all have come to
mis- support and have pledged him
their help wherever needed.
With many of the sfrewdest poli.
ticians of the state the senatorial
proposition has resolved itself into a
question of the majority which SEN
ator Young will have over his Oh

Joe r. Fraiiey of Fort Madison was

he makes all the speeches there

He is progressive and has a good

safety on the Mississippi

ST. Louis Globe-Democrat. We are
assured in long and authentic state
ment that disasters to steamboats, on
the Mississippi are now almost i'm
possible and that the drowning of
many passengers on them is out of
the question; the reason for this com
parative safety is that in case the
boat strikes an obstruction which
punctures the hull it requires but q
few minutes to reach shallow place,
where If she does sink most of her
upper works will be above water and
will serve as shelter for the pas
sengers until they can be taken off.
Fire is the secondary peril to trav-
elers on the Mississippi. Every boat
is provided with life preseryers or
wooden life buoys or planks with aper-
lures for the hands, SO that one may
float clear of the vessel, if 1t Is neces-
sary to abandon it hastily; and in this
emergency also, the boat can be quick
ly beached.
No disasters of great magnitude
have taken place on the Mississippi
for many years; although several
boats sink every season. Seldom are
these founderings accompanied by
loss Of life. In the upper river the
only inconvenience of the passengers
in such case is to find themselves
marooned until they can be removed
in small boats or on another steam.
boat which may come alongside.
These words are not written with
any firnl-set determination to encour-
age river travel; for in spite of its
safety one might find it tedious and
uncongenial We confess that we do
not, provided we don't indulge too
deeply The Injuries of ocean-going
vessels are not found on the river
steamers as yet; there are no golf
LINKS. no tennis courts, no gymnas-
iums; and they are not needed so long
as the reception of 1000 bags of wheat
or such matter here and there along
the stream gives the passenger plenty
of time to climb the hill to the town
and buy a souvenir spoon and one
dbzen post cards. That's exercise
enough.
The culinary department of most of
the river boats is substantial and
