NOT A CANDIDATE

Hon. j. w. Rowley, editor OF the
keosauqua Republican, suggested by
the Washington Press and endorsed
by The Gate City for district delegate
to the Chicago convention, declines to
be candidate for the honor. In an
article in his paper for the current
week Mr.. Rowley says:
I'VE realize that the position is one
Of honor and we deeply appreciate the
friendship and good motive that
prompt the thought, and we also sin
cerely appreciate the same suggestion
that has come TO us from friends here
and there In other counties of the
state. However. we are not a candi-
date for the position, nor would we ac-
cept 1t were it unanimously rendered
us by the convention. This declension
has no strings attached to it. There
are, no doubt, many others here and
there who would like to be delegate
and who would honor the party as its
representatives, and We have no
personal choice as to who the dele
gates from the state at large shall be,
or from the First district though we
hope care will be exercised to chose
only those who have the interests
and the success of the Republican par
ty at heart. leaving out any who are
existing principally to satisfy a per-
sonal grudge or boost faction, rather
than lift into unity and victory the
whole party
This is good, broad-gauge talk that
does credit alike TO Mr.. Rowley's
breadth of view and the quality of his
Republicanism. AS the case stands at
present there are only two avowed
candidates in the field essrs.
George S. Tucker of Lee county and
Lot Abraham of Henry county. Both
are first class candidates, and the Re
puhlicans of the district will make no
mistake. IL they select these gentle
men as their representatives

THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE

Sioux City Journal: There are three
items In the record OF the Taft ad-
ministration any one OF which should
assure the Presidents denomination,
while In combination they offer an I'M
answerable argument in favor of his
reelection.
President Taft has given us the tar
if commission. and formulated the
policy ce scientific, protective tariff
Irevision on the schedule by schedule
plan. In doing this President Taft
has offered the only rational ground
upon which the Republican party can
stand in view Of the we'll nigh unani-
nous demand for tariff reductions
demand which was not satisfied by the
tariff law of 1909 Under the Taft
tariff program the Republican party
can make further reductions in the
tariff schedules. It can do this with
out departing from the time honored
protective principle principle to
which no Republican admits opposition
and to which many Democrats, while
protesting opposition, really owe al.
legiance. Such tariff revision can be
undertaken with guaranty that no
industry shall be ruined by the with
drawal of protection that can be justi-
he'd under the Republican definition of
the measure of protection. 1t can be
carried to completion, one schedule at
time, with the least possible dis
turhance to business while the process
Is going on. President Taft has form
ulated this tariff program without
much help from congress. If the tariff
is to be the paramount issue, and the
Democrats are fixing things so it must
be, who can compare with Taft as the
logical Republican nominee, and prob
able winner in the election?
II the tariff were not to figure at all.
President Taft ought to be given
denomination and easy re-
election on the strength of his admin
record in enforcing the anti
trust law. Ever since Roosevelt start
ed the ball rolling there has been gen
eral public demand for strict enforce.
ment of the law against all offending
corporations President Taft has done
what Roosevelt did not do. President
Taft has enforced the law against Of
tenders without discrimination or ia
voritism. That was what the public |
wanted, wasn't 1t? The only complaint
has come from Wall street Are the
plain people going back on Taft for |

He also fears that the black rasp-
berries are badly hit.
That Mousetrap Quotation.

Knoxville Express: Here is a singu-
lar mix-up: About year ago The
keokuk Gate City published the we'll
known quotation and credited it to
Carlyle:
If man can write better book.
preach better sermon. or make a bet
ter mousetrap than his neighbor,
though he build his house in the
woods, the world will make beaten
path to his door"
Before the ink was fairly dry, the
Express and other newspapers gave
The Gate City the merry laugh be-
cause the quotation was well-known
passage from Emerson. The Gate City
came down gracefully. acknowledged
the mistake, and the incident was con.
sidered closed But now comes the
funny part: Emerson never wrote it.
and The Gate City in its issue of
Sunday devotes a column to an ex-
PLANTATION of the matter. From this ii
appears that it was first ascribed TO
Emerson over twenty years ago. and
at one time ii was claimed TO be in
the notes taken of one OF his public
addresses; but now comes Ebert Hub.
bard, of Roycroft fame, and says he
originated the passage, ascribed 1t to
Emerson The writer would have been
willing to bet a years subscription to
the Express against doughnut that
the passage occurs In Emerson's essay
on "Self-Reliance:" but a diligent ex-
animation of 1t does not reveal the
quotation. At any rate Fra Elbertus
has achieved a pretty good literary
hoax. for the passage is universally
accepted and much quoted as from
Emerson.

PRESIDENT TAFT

President Taft assumed the proper
attitude touching his candidacy when
he moved out to attack the other fel
lows, and to present those achieve
ments of his administration and party
which he believes to be entitled to the
popular respect and support. Even the
critical New York Sun, which is furth,
est from being a Republican paper, is
moved to say.
The sight of Mr. Taft standing up
and fighting back at the enemies and
CAREERS in his party. calling spade a
spade and disposed to use even hard
er names than neurotics is highly
satisfactory to the great body of Re
publicans who have seen him turn
he other check and smile blandly when
a frown of indignation would have be-
come him better; for they know how
.unmerited has been the abuse, how
groundless the structures and how
stealthy and sordid have been the tao
tics employed against him."
The Springfield Republican, the
leading independent paper in the coun-
try in the matter of influence. also has
a word in commentator of the Presi-
dent as follows:
when any candid person sits down
to study of the existing situation
he discovers that the head of the ma
tional administration is not only filled
with the purpose to serve the country.
but that the President is able to point
to record of substantial achievement.
His predecessor filled the air with
declarations of what he proposed to
do. There was a well-nigh continuous
breathing ont Of threatenings and
slaughter, but the actual accomplish
ment by no means equaled the adver-
tisements."
President Taft faces the campaign
with such confidence that he has no
hesitation in predicting Republican
triumph in November next. The fore
going excerpts are properly supple
mented by the following comment of
the Boston Transcript on his New
York speech:
His address was defiance and a
challenge TO that radical element
which favors the recall, the referen-
dunn and everything else the opposite
of conservative as panaceas for the al
legged ills OF the republic. The Presi-
dent draws a distinction between the
and the extremists. The
latter he holds are not entitled to be
called progressives, but. rather. reac-
ticnaries, as they are. in his Judgment,
political emotionalists or neurotics.
Evidently when the Taft smile comes
off very plain, emphatic and easily
comprehended language follows

pronounces this quite true and saws
that it is as surprising as true, But
another even more significant synp-

i his drastic enforcement of a law that
they insisted should be enforced? ID
they are not what chance would there
| be Of electing any other candidate
Republican or Democrat?
President Taft has done what every
political economist has been advocat-
ling, without practical result. since the
early days of our government. He has
actually made start toward applying
business principles of economy and
efficiency in administering the bust
ness affairs of the federal government.
! Bear in mind President Taft has not
merely talked economy and efficiency.
He has delivered the actual goods in
moderate quantities and is working out
practical plans for deliveries in mNch
larger quantities. He is pleading with
congress for cooperation in this effort
to see that the taxpayers money is
spent as discreetly as the money OF
stockholders in large industrial
organization. If given popular support
he can force congress into saving the
$500, 100000 than senator Aldrich said
would be saved annually by the in
production of business methods in the
public service. Forget all about tar
III and trust prejudices and predilec-
tons for a moment Here is some
thing big. The impossible has hap
pened. The chief executive OF the
United States has committed the
whole federal government to the policy
of getting a dollars worth for every
dollar of the Taxpayers money. Is
there a single citizen of the United
States, Republican or Democrat, who
doesn't want that policy continued as
q permanent national institution? The
best way to assure its continuance is
to keep on the job the man who had
the courage to make the only real be-
ginning that has been made on 1t in
the recollection of the Oldest inhab-.
liant.
Now they tell us the Republican
rank and file is going back on the man
who placed the party on firm ground
on the tariff issue; who fulfilled the
party pledge and met the popular de-
mand for trust law enforcement, and
who took economy and efficiency out
of the realm of fancy and placed them
in the realm of fact 1t cannot be
true. To assume it is true Is to as
file lacks not only political sense, but
is deficient In plain. everyday common
sense.

Fruit prosnects

Mt. Pleasant Free Press, We have
a report on the fruit prospect from
our official expert, C. G. Bodgett. He
says that the apples are all right and
that we will probably have a pretty
fair crop, provided that late frosts
don't catch them this spring. The
May cherries are damaged somewhat,
but the late cherries, he thinks. are al!
right The peaches are as dead as
canned mackerel He has not been
able TO find q single bud which show
ed life. The buds are so dead they
are dry and brittle. He would not be
surprised to see a good many OF the
peach trees die. frozen to death in
January Sixteen TO eighteen degrees
below zero is the danger line for
peaches. The mercury went down TO
q here. so you know there is no hope
for the peaches. Gooseberries are new
er killed by cold weather, but late
frosts sometimes cut off the crop.
Other small fruit is all right. The
strawberries are in fine shape as the
SHOWS kept them covered and in good
condition Last fail the fruit trees
were in very poor condition for the
coming winter The wet weather so
late in the year kept the trees grow
ing up 10 the very time that the cold
weather struck us. The fruit buds
were abnormally large for the time Of
the year That was one reason the
cold weather was so hard on the trees.
