The facts, If you care to know
them, are these:
| This new vote concoction is dead
wrong. Wrong mathematically and
wrong morally.
What is this they tell us. that we
don't know? Are we, not compe-
tent to understand? The member
ship does understand, and before
Jan. 1, 1913, it will be generally
understood that they do understand,
and all the power on earth will not
save the Modern Woodmen of Amer
| lea unless this vote proposition is
held up and adjusted in a fair,
square way, and not forced down
their threats and told to either
swallow or quit. The rights of the
membership must be considered.
| One man in every eight belongs
to this order in the state of Iowa.
If you were anything near as well
informed as you assumed in your
editorial you would know that the
agitation and the activity of the To-
cal clerks are the only agencies at
work that are holding the order to-
gether at the present time.
Only for the hope that square
deal will in the end prevail and one
half of the membership would be
down and out at this date. This
job is too coarse.
You can not raise a mans rate
and steal his age both at once. He
might have stood for one, but he
will not permit both He has been
told great many things. Some he
believed and some he did not. Some
he knew were not true. When
agents or deputies of the Modern
Woodmen of America came into
western Iowa and try to have the
"poor, ignorant people" believe that
100000 was not lost at Holstein,
Ia, and say that more than $4,000.
was ever recovered, every boy knows
it is untrue. And to reward the man
who is responsible for that loss, the
Modern Woodmen of America has as
su1ned the expense OF five or six
years of labor in an end of the rain
bow chase, that never promised to
avail anything; and besides, retain
ed, and are still retaining, this same
man as member of the board of
directors to boot" and now they
have the monumental nerve to re-
quest the membership to intrust a
$500, 100000 reserve fund In these
same hands; and the officials also
assume the superior wisdom of tel
ling the membership that this new
rate is adequate and just, and that
the old man does not need insurance
anyway. Or that they will loan him
dollar per month at per cent in
terest and take it out OF his policy
when he dies.
If the present management and
the men behind the sieges had want
ed to kill the Modern Woodmen of
America in the interest of old Incl
insurance companies, nothing more
effective could have been devised
than the late REIMBURSEMENT.

Right, the interests of the peo-
pie" should be conserved. A man
like the ex-president who puts sell
ahead of the people can serve no one
but Observation-Disclosures Reporter.
The files of the Reporter will
bear testimony to the fact that when
Roosevelt was president he served
the interests of the people with a
persistent and logged determine
tion that surpassed anything in that
line since the days of Lincoln. The
last national republican platform
also bears testimony to the fact. The
colonel has made an ass of himself
upon varied occasions since his re-
TRACY from the presidency, but
while in Office he made a record
that the nation and the republican
party and the Waterloo Reporter
were proud Of. He would do the
same thing again if placed between
the traces. But he is like a colt
when shorn of official responsibility.

We need to tell the truth about
Iowa, to tell more OF the truth and
to tell it oftener," says Professor
Curtis. I'VE need to tell this kind
of truth over and over again instead
of telling with glowing account of
the resources and attractions of dis
tant lands, most of which Is ficti-
tious, to say the least
The advice of Prof. Curtis is
good Much better than was the
advice Of Prof. Holden when ne was
urging Iowans to make investments
in the arid and semi-arid lands of
Idaho. Real estate investments are
less uncertain in Iowa than in any
other state in the union. True, a
few may make money faster in 9TH
er investments, but for sure, sub
stantial, never-fail proposition there
is nothing in the world like the
rich, deep soil OF Iowa. 1t can be
had now at from 800 to $3.50 per
acre. In ten years 1t will be worth

from Taft, Roosevelt and LaFollette
in the interest of Hughes, Cummins
or some unknown one.
1t seems that everywhere except
among the political enemies of Sem
ator Cummins in Iowa, his chance
as a second choice candidate is rec
ognized and deemed worthy of con-
sideration. Here in Iowa the news
paper which describes him as an as
sassin with a knife ready for the
president, can see nothing In this
chance for Cummins and for Iowa.
Political animosities must be graf
flied and political debts to the adj
ministration must be paid whether
the interests Of Iowa suffer or not.
There is no difference between
one person and another more char
acteristic and noticeable than the
facility of being happy. Some seem
pierced with half a hundred win
dows, through which stream
warmth, light and sounds Of delight.
1t comes in at the eye and at the
ear, at the portals of smell, taste
and touch, in things little and great.

from 5000 to $500 per acre, exclu-

i If any man doubts that William
J. Bryan is the most important man
in all the democratic party, he
should make it point to attend
such meetings as the Iowa Jefferson
Club banquet at Des Moines last
Wednesday, and be convinced that
the magnetic Nebraskan is right
now in the heyday of his popular
lity.-Manson Democrat, April 10.
The real reactionary in politics
is the fellow who bolts when he
can't have his own sweet way
Manson Democrat, April 10.
Perhaps the fact that Mr.. Bryan
bolted the nomination of the DEM
ocratic candidate for governor of
Nebraska is what makes him "the
most important man in the demo-
cratic party"
Illinois republicans, having prac-
tically annihilated each other and
made party success remote con-
tingency in their own state, turned
in yesterday with the apparent pur-
pose Of extending the humiliation
process to the national republican
organization Moines Capital.
In other words, the republican
who dares vote for presidential
candidate other than Taft is in a
conspiracy to annihilate the party
in the nation. The party is indeed
in sore circumstances when there is
but one man in the nation, and that
man is backed by the federal ma
chine, who dares be candidate for
the presidency. According to the
logic of the Capital there should be
no elections or conventions this
year. Anybody who opposes Taft is
la traitor to the party. Ayaunt with
such sniveling hypocrisy.
Col. Roosevelt's sweeping victory
in the Illinois primaries. following
LaFollette's in North Dakota and
Wisconsin, shows what the people
would do all over the country If
given a chance to express them
selves. It is possible that Roose-
welt could not win the nomination.
1t may be that LaFollette would
fail, but 1t is apparent that Taft
could not win in the Chicago con-
vention If the people had the say Of
who should be the delegates. Taft
will secure one-third of the dele
gates needed to nominate from
southern states that do not give the
republican party an electoral vote
and that do not cast as many votes
combined for the party as Iowa will
cast. But the lesson Of Illinois.
North Dakota and Wisconsin is that
the people of the middle west and
northwest are stron sly opposed to
Taft. Will the national convention
heed the admonition and refuse to
re-nominate the man whom at least
half OF the party believe will be de-
feated There are scores of men
within the ranks of the party who
could lead to victory next November.
Why not nominate one of them?
Surely the Interests" of the presi-
dent do not transcend the interests
of the party. There is still hope
that the convention will take this
view. Information from New York
and Pennsylvania is to the effect
that the delegations from those
states are likely to look at the sit
uation dispassionately and givel
their votes to a man who has good
chances Of winning the election.
THE CHANCE RECOGNIZED.

The progressive republican vote of
Illinois at the recent primaries ex-
ceeded the standpat vote by nearly
three to one. Roosevelt received
$4,000, LaFollette $4,000 and Taft
10000. Roosevelt's majority over
Taft $4,000. Roosevelt's and La
Follette's majority over Taft 190,-
600. Can it be possible that the
Taft managers, in the face of such
a showing of popular opinion, will
nominate the president even though
they have the power? Roosevelt
gets Maine, too, and New York and
Pennsylvania refuse to instruct for
Taft.

Speaking of straws it is interest
ing to note that while Governor Os-
borne of Michigan was out stump
ing for Roosevelt his own home pre-
cinct went for Taft.-Capita1
Yes, and while Congressman Nc
Kinley of Illinois. Taft's manager,
was telling how he had arranged to
put Illinois in the Taft column, the
people OF his district and state gave
Roosevelt an overwhelming major
ity. These .'straws" will bear
watching.

Clark lives in a doubtful state will
also help his chances of securing
the nomination.
Gov. Marshall of Indiana says he
left law and went into politics tc
"give his conscience a rest" The
surprising part of it is that law.
yer at the age of the governor
should have a conscience left.
The Capital has refused to make
any bombastic claims in the earlier
stages of this campaign.-C Capital.
And the Capital is so surprised al
itself that it hastens to make edi.
toriaI mention of the virtune. How
ever, during the later stages of the
campaign the Capital has resumed
its usual bombastic claims.
Taft should withdraw. The peo-
pie of three great states have spok-
en- in no uncertain terms and the
president didn't get enough votes to
put him in the running. Wiscon-
sin, North Dakota and Illinois had
state wide primaries and the presi-
dent lost every one by tremendous
majorities.
When Col. Roosevelt was told be-
fore making his speech at Spring
field not to mention Lorimer, as it
would lose him many votes, it was
cinch that he would roast the
senator, and he did, trimming him
up in fine style. Whatever may be
said of the colonel it cannot be
truthfully charged that he is phys
ical or moral coward. He is the
boldest man who was ever a nation
al political leader.
