Good for Clarke!

Sioux City Journal: George w.
Clarke, lieutenant governor and can
didate of the Republicans of Iowa for
the governorship, is Enthusiastically
straightforward in the matter of the
third party movement
In the midst of pottering, surround
ed by temptation to think it over"
Mr. Clarke knows what he will do.
Knowing what he will do, he is free
to speak
1.-THE Republican party OF Iowa
nominated me as it's candidate for
governor" he says. II shall support
the candidates Of the party, both ma
tional and state. could not and
would not join in bolt against the
party that nominated me- If had
any disposition to do so,. he concludes,
"the only honorable course would be
for me to withdraw and allow man
to be named who would support the
party nominees"
This is putting the case clearly and
strongly. He is Republican. He
Is a man regardful of his horror in the
responsible place in which he has been
placed by his party He is not the
candidate of faction. He is the can
didate Of the Republican party, and
ct tho head OF his ticket in the No
vember election will appear the name
of William Howard Taft.
It is not matter OF regret that Mr.
Clarke was nominated In the state
wide primary held on the third of
June.
The Abel man has more than once
proved his qualification for leader
ship. He has now sounded the key
note for every candidate chosen to a
Race on the ticket with him. He has
spoken the word for every Republican.
Fall In! Close UP the ranks!

Teddy.

Teddy.
Waterloo Courier. progressive: Some
love him and some do not. Some
swallow him but make wry face.
Tedding is dividing municipalities
and families. Argument for or against
lis futile. Therefore facts must speak
for themselves, and these are some of
the facts:
Teddy's refusal to get out OF the
way made the nomination of a com
promise candidate impossible and
the nomination of Taft a reality
The LaFollette progressives are
against him, charging that he did
not give their candidate square deal.
The Cummins progressives appre-
ciate' that Teddy absolutely blocked
their program.
In view Of the rapidly shifting senti-
ment one way and another regarding
Teddy he should still fbe held in pro
baton for while at least by the great
army Of progressives which undoubt-
Iedly compose the majority CT the ma
tion's voters.

MORE GOOD WORK BY SCOUTS.

Mention was made in these columns
the other day of the excellent work
done by the boy scouts by helping in
the fight against insects and diseases
in trees and shrubs. But there is a
far wider field of their activities than
the contest with moths and their kin.
An illustration of what the scouts do
is given in statement from the lead
er of the Logs in Rockford Ne.
The head of the boyl' club in Rock
ford is Supt. F. NJ. Buckles and what
he has done with his boys appears in
this report they beean with tender

have not yet explained what their
purpose was in setting up some 200

FOR FEEDING TURKEYS ONLY
Small v-shaped Trough Elevated to
Height to Allow Big Birds to
Pick From 10 Useful.

Often on a farm where turkeys are
raised right along with the chickens
and other poultry. it Is desirable to
feed them heavier than the other poul-
try. yet suitable means OF doing so are
not available without fenced yard
to separate them. writes p. G. Gross
Of Ohio in the Prairie Farmer. In
such cases the following contrivance
serves admirably:
A small V-shaped trough. Of imma-
terial length. is elevated by means Of
supports to q height that will allow
the turkeys to stand on the floor and
