Leaf from Political History

In 1896 the democratic national con-
vention, held in Chicago, adopted a
platform containing criticism of tho
adverse decision of the United States
Supreme court on the income tax.
At that time the country had not be-
come familiar with the more modern
style of appeals for recalls of decis-
ions'' and all that sort of thing. No
ex-president had denounced any fede-
raj judge as crank and a jackass. "
The criticism was regarded in many
quarters as rank political heresy, a
downright crime.
No part of the 1896 democratic plat
form-not even the demand for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the present ratio of 16 to l''-arous-
ed 40 bitter denunciations as did the
reference to the action of the Supreme
court on the income tax act.
One of the most severe of these de-
nunciations appeared in the Review of
Reviews. The writer asserted that
the conventions action on the subject
represented the ways of thought OF
barbarian ancestors. ''Savages. he
wrote, do not like an Independent and
upright judiciary. They want the
Judge to decide their way, and if he
does not, they want to behead him.

The High Dollar in Cows.

In latter years dairying has develop
ed into one of the paying departments
of farming, with the promise that
through the use of better methods and
improved appliances it will become the
leader as money maker. The issue
of The Iowa Homestead of March %,
will contain many instructive articles
on all branches of dairying that should
be read by every farmer. They are
written by experts. One OF the strong
est features is the exhaustive treat
ment of the silo questionable silo,
silage crops, putting up silage, the
profit of feeding silage. and the saving
of forage crops which it effects. The
Iowa Homestead and the Plain Dealer
may both be secured at the very low
price of ST. 90. Leave subs 'riptions at

The Price of Mr.. Morgan's Services

An expert accountant in the service
of the Stanley committee investigating
the steel trust reports that Mr.. J. P.
Morgan's fee for organizing the trust
was $50, 600, 600 cash.
Pause a moment while that fact
sinks in.
Now let the effect be to understand
what $40, 600, 600 represents in terms of
Iowa crop values for 1911.
He got
s18,0oO,O 600 more than the farm
value of the dairy products;'
$4,000, 900 more than the value of
the butter and eggs;
S6S, 500, 900 more than the value of
the wool productions;
One-balf the total farm value of the
corn yield;
SOFIA, 597 more than the farm value
of the oats yield;
SIG, 81, O72 more than the farm value
of the hay (tame) yield;
$61, 900, 900 more than the value Of
the fruit crop.
In short, Mr.. Morgan got for his
work about one seventh of the total
farm value of everything produced on
the farm and in the orchards and gar
dens, on the pastures and grazing lands
in the richest agricultural state in the
whole union of states during 1911.
With that s7O,OOO,OOO MIR. Morgan
could were he of mind to do SO, pro-
vide a 6-foot stage of water in the
Mississippi river from the rivers
source to the gulf.
Perhaps these relative statements
serve to assist to appreciation of what
. is represented by SIC, 600, 900.
If anything were needed the state
ment that $50, 900 men, earning the av'
erage American wage, would have t.
work an entire year to earn O,OOO,
600. will meet the omission.
Mr.. Morgan was able to collect Thu
fee of $40, coo, 900 first, because his con
troll of banking reserves in financial in
stitutions dominated by him enabled
him to get the money needed to under
write the trust and to market its Sc
'curities; and, secondly, because the re-
publican party, in control of the gov
eminent of the nation, never put q
limitation upon promotion stock, OF
fees
We submit these facts in explana
tion of how in making possible profit
of $40, 900, 900 in one deal Socialists are
also made.

The Mormon Kingdom

One of COL Roosevelt's campaign
managers complained that Utah and
surrounding regions are for TAFT be-
cause of Senator Shoots control of the
Mormon vote.
Why not? And by what right does
any objection come from any of the
Roosevelt councils?
This same control Exercised then as
now by the ruler of the Mormon king
dom, whose ambassador is Senator
Smoot) was used for Mckinley in 1900,
for Roosevelt in 1904; for Roosevelt S
choice in 1908.
When it became apparent and unde-
niable, after 1900, that the Mormon
church was determined to be political
kingdom, there was strong local re-
volt Gentiles and independent Nor
mons combined to wage battle against
the polygamous priests in politics.
Theodore Roosevelt, then president
of the United States. threw the whole
power of the national administration to
suppression of that patriotic revolt.
Due to the authority and influence of
President Theodore Roosevelt:
1.-The minister pleaipotentiary of
the Mohammedan Mormon church,
Apostle Reed Smoot, was seated in the
United States senate.
1.-THE federal patronage in the
Mormon kingdom became a perquisite
of the po!ygamous ruler.
III.-Al local revolt in the kingdom
was crushed and terrorized into silence
IV.-The polygamists resumed their
arrogance, as the favored of Roosevelt
and the Almighty, and they increased
their conjugal establishments with the
assurance that their political power
would be protection.
And now, after the Mohammedan
monarchy has learned the highest art
of manipulation from the shrewdest
politician of his age-and after it has
learned from him that the white house
is the best market for its political
tyrannies and tricks-it is the irony of
that fate which is fast pursuing Roose-
welt that the Mormon kingdom should
bind and deliver him captive to Taft.
Weeks ago The Journal predicted
that Roosevelt would soon find how
sharper than S rpant's tooth it is to
have tharkless Mormon Kingdom

And when his walks are bathed in slust
And the wrong man is elected

COAL CRISIS DUE THIS week
MINERS AWAIT OUTCOME OF
CONFERENCE.
Compromise by 6itumInous Men May
Affect Settlement Of Differ
ences.

Cleveland, Marcn 1o.-A cIlel0 "
the coal situation, determining wheth'
or more than 100000 miners in the b.
luminous and anthracite fields shall
strike on April 1, or suspend until
new wage agreements can be effected
10 expected this week.
Members of the executive board and
policy committee of the United Mine
Workers Of America arrived here to
prepare to draw up recommendations
for referendum vote by the union.
They will not act, however, until after
the operators and miners Of the btu.
minous fields of western Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois at their ses.
sion here Tuesday have decided wheth'
or they can agree on two year wage
scale. The union officials actions on
the inability of the anthracite oper'
ators and miners to agree will be
delayed until the outcome of the btu.
minous conference is known.
John P. White, president Of the
union and the district presidents con-
sidered a proposal that the bitumin.
GUS miners drop all their demands,
except that for an increase in pay and
that they ask for five per cent instead
of ten. The compromise was not den.
nitely agreed upon, but 1t was consid.
cred as q possibility in view of the
emphatic stand taken by the operators
that they were not inclined to yield.
1t was proposed that the single sug.
gestion for five per cent increase be
considered by both sides before it was
taken into conference. Even II this
plan was agreed upon, it was declared.
it still would have to be adopted by
the policy committee and then sup
ported by a referendum vote.
The union officials are in doubt
whether such a compromise would be
approved at the referendum vote. since
the full convention at indianapolis
several months ago expressly stood
not only for ten per cent increase.
but for many changes in conditions
such as a reduction Of eight hours q
week in the working time. A five per
cent increase they say, would give
them less than one-fourth OF what they
asked for.
The union officials say an agreeable
adjustment of the bituminous dispute
would have much influence in securing
for the $4,000 anthracite miners. .
settlement of their differences.
/ AS the anthracite situation now
stands. members of the policy commit.
tee assert, they have only one thing
to report to the union-that the oper'
ators and miners have failed to agree
and there is no scale upon which oper.
ations may be continued after the end
of this month.
