Third Party Seems Lost.

Monmouth Atlas: The nomination
of Governor Wilson on the Democratic
ticket practically may eliminate the
probability Of third party ticket be-
ing placed in the field.
Governor Wilson represents the
progressive tendencies of the times
so far as the initiative. the referen-
dun and the ownership OF public
utilities may be said to be these poll
'cies. Those who believe that these
are the paramount issues Of this cam
|paign will find an expression Of these
opinions favorable to their ideas in
the recent writings and speeches of
Sir. Wilson.
Despite all that has been said to
the contrary Mr.. Taft is personally as
progressive in tendencies as is Mr..
Wilson, when It comes to the compell-
ing OF lawful business activities on the
part of the large Industrial organiza-
lions, and is rather In advance of his
party associates in mary OF his pro-
igressive theories. Moreover, many Of
lhis supporters do not generally agree
with his tariff reduction ideas which
also seem to be policy of the pro-
igressive Republicans. The conserva-
tive Republican is rather more in ac-
icord with the Chicago platform than
with the Chicago candidate. In fact
one OF the weaknesses of the Republi-
/ cans in this campaign with that of the
known and published ideas of their
candidates.
The third party cannot live In the
present campaign. because of the fail
lure to find issues different from those
already expressed in the Chicago or
1.-THE Baltimore platforms. The present
lpuDlic disrespect for platforms will not
Ibe so strong few months from now.
THE many who now contend that there
lis no difference between Democrat
and Republican will not be so much in
evidence by September.
Men are not parties. Principles only
create parties. Mere opposition to
linen do not create parties 1t takes
Opposition to advocacy for principles
to make parties. The man who con
tends that he votes for men rather
than for party weakens his own posi-
jtion and does not prove his superior

ELEcTRlFYlNG THE RAILROADS.

The rapid increases in the Eel ectric
zones OF the railroads entering New
York have led to various enthusiastic
prophecies OF the day when all our
railroads will be electrically operated
and the steam horse will disappear,
along with the flesh-and-blood horse.
One steam road will within eighteen
months have five hundred miles OF
electrified road. Another has half as
much now.
Beyond question electricity is doing
more and more Of the worlds trac-
ton work every day. It has many
points Of superiority over steam. 1t
is clean, noiseless. elastic, efficient.
But the Minneapolis Journal points
out that the main question that will
decide between steam and electricity
Is the question of economy. No one
can foretell what the development Of
electrical traction will bring forth in
the way of invention. But under pres
ent conditions it Is evident that
while electricity Is more economical
in pulling the heavy and regular SUD
urban traffic, 1t cannot yet meet
steam as Succession competitor
where the service is infrequent or ir-
regular, or where the traffic is not
dense. The reason for this is thus
stated by the paper quoted above:
Every steam locomotive is unit
| in itself, producing its own power
and independent OF all other units,
whereas the electric locomotive is a
use OF power drawing It's energy from
q central generating station. That
central station, to be economical,
must be efficient that IL, it must be
used constantly and as completely as
possible The great dynamos must
keep on whirling whether the current
they make is used by one or a hun.
dred motors. The single unit steam
/ locomotive is wasteful IN It's produc-
ton OF energy. as compared with q
great central station or series of
stations, but 1t is needed and when 1t
lis needed
Thus 1t appears that under present
conditions the steam locomotive is
bound to- be used wherever the traf-
4 fic is irregular and not heavy But
great cities with their outlying subur-
ban districts will more and more be
4 freed from its clangor, its shrill loot
ings, its pervasive and destructive
smoke. This relief will come princi-
pally because OF the superior econ
omy and efficiency Of electricity in
such Urban districts.

THE RECENT STATE CoNvEN
TIOk

The loyal Republican newspapers of
the state are unit in condemning the
body which masqueraded as a Re
publican state convention in Des
Moines last Wednesday. They are
agreed that it did things it should not
have done and left undone things it
should have done, and mudd'e ed matters
so badly that it is going to be ex-
|ceedingly difficult to bring order out
|of chaos. The Waterloo Reporter, a
paper always moderate and reasonable
in its utterances, takes the view that
the convention will go down in history
las a mistake" an act committed whiie
insane" The Reporter is not angry,
only sorry and disappointed. AS to
the efforts toward harmony it says:
From Tuesday night until Wednes
day noon every possible effort was
made by the conservative element oil
both factions to get together-to har
monte. The effort was unavailing
the red light factions were bound tc
have an illumination. They were
1 both willing to sit upon the keg Of
powder and play with a box Of
matches, light one after another, sex
the fash OF light and blue smoke"
The Reporter points out that en-
dorsement of the Chicago platform
would have helped Kenyon and the en-
tire ticket, 1t would have assisted
largely in the return of Republican
legislators. The party managers thi,
year must realize this. They mus
not make the mistake OF trying to pull
, one through, giving up in advance
without an equal effort for every maj
upon the ticket" The Reporter sug

REGULARS Will % LOYAL.

Governor B. F. Carroll, who led the
fight for Taft in the recent Repiibli-
can state convention, has issued q
statement as to the attitude and prob
able course of the regular Republi-
cans Of the state in the present
emergency. He says the standpatters
are making no threats, but if leading
Republican candidates refuse to sup
port the most important part of the
ticket and lend aid and support to
the men who are trying to defeat the
Republican nominee the loyal Repub-
licans I'M the state will not feel under
the least obligation to them. We
give the governors statement below
with our endorsement OF every word
of it:
The Republicans whom have the
honor to represent are making no
threats. We are intending to sup
port the Republican ticket in Iowa
this fall from top to bottom. Every
Republican on it will receive our
most loyal support. expect to take
an active part in the campaign and
shall deem it pleasant duty to take
the stump for the Republican nomi-
nee, William Howard Taft, and for
every other man who stands by the
Republican ticket.
I'VE do not feel in duty bound to
support any man or men who have
left the Republican party and joined
the International Harvester Trust
party. We do not feel these bolters
have any claim upon US. Az to Sena
tor Kenyon and Governor Clarke the
question of the support OF the great
band of Taft men in Iowa, for them
depends upon what stand they take
| II they remain loyal to the Republi
can ticket believe we should give
| them our hearty support. If they de
| liberately bolt and refuse to support
the most important part Of our ticket
this year, and lend aid and support tc
men who are trying to defeat the Re
publican nominee, then | feel that as
loyal Republicans We are not under
the least obligation to them
That is the talk with the bark on
and it is the right kind OF talk. Gov
ernor Carroll has stated the attitude
of the loyal Republicans OF Iowa Will

From data received by sending
cards of inquiry to representative
fruit growers of Missouri the state
board of horticulture of that state
has gathered that the average apple
crop for all sections of the state is
about 66 per cent. This is much bet
ter than last years crop. There is
quite a difference in the rank of dill
ferent varieties. Ben Davis has in
nearly every case full crop, while
the summer varieties are generally
reported shy. Other winter varieties,
such as Winesap, Grimes Golden, In
gram and Gano, have very promising
crops. A large majority of growers
report insects and diseases, cooling
moth. tscab and blight being quite
widespread. It is stated in nearly
every such case, however, that these
are found only in unsprayed orchards.
Spraying this season has produced
excellent results. Northeast Missouri
has the poorest crop Of any section OF
the state, 60 per cent, At this time
last year the crop was estimated at
37.5 per cent.
