which Judas betrayed his Master"
states this mornings Republican. This
statement, written by Editor Cole
while still stunned by the Pennsyl-
vania results contains more truth than
is usual in his statements regarding
Roosevelt. The parallel Is correct. with
Taft in the role Of Judas. 1t is this
fact rather than the fact Of Roosevelt's
where the fight Is between some other
progressive and Taft. then the other
progressive such an overwhelming ma
jority over Taft, whenever the case is
taken to the people in a primary. Taft
went before the people Of the country
four years ago promising to carry out
progressive legislation. He could Meth
er have been nominated nor elected
had he not made the country such
promises. But Immediately on taking
the oath of office he began his cam
paign Of betrayal Of the men to whom
he had made his promises and who
ilad put MIN in office. No people in
history have ever been betrayed more
flagrantly than the mass of voters of
the republican party who put w. II.
Taft into office. He is now reaping his
reward. He will go down into history
as man wholly repudiated by both
his party and the country-a man so
weak that the opposition can not find
man who can not defeat him. Yes.
this case has a parallel in the case
wherin Judas betrayed his master but
it is too much to ask the country to
sit by and applaud Judas for his be-
travail.

WHO PAYS IT?


Senator Cummins has had his secre-
tary in Des Moines for several weeks,
managing his campaign, at the expense
of the government, we are told by the
Republican. The secretary gets $1,000
year. In the meantime President Taft
was in Ohio several days; salary $751;
600 a year with a big appropriation for
his special train. Secretary Wilson has
been out for weeks for the president;
salary $4,000 we believe. Congressman
Mckinley has been mana ging the pres
ident's campaign for weeks; salary S7,-
500. Several other members Of the
presidents cabinet were out and one
other. Secretary Fisher. was prevent
ed only by sickness. Senators, congress-
men and federal officeholders all over
the country have been busy. Without
saying that any Of it is right, theoreti-
cally, we can not help but note how
much larger that s125 month spent
by Senator Cummins looks to the Re
publican than the 100000 a month,
probably all Told, spent by President
Taft.

IOWA MADE FOR IOWA

IL every 1owan would investigate
Iowa made articles and comparing
price and excellence give Iowa goods
the preference the population Of the
state would show 10 to 20 per cent
increase in the census OF 1920. If every
maker of Iowa goods would study the
needs of Iowans and endeavor to meet
outside competition in every way. if
every Iowa retailer would push Iowa
stun ahead of outside goods where
everything is equal the population and
prohpertty questions would have their
answers made in Iowa.
Iowa does not need or desire a wall
ou1it about her but neighbors should
scratch neighbors backs To mutual ad-
vantage and relief If there is good
article made in ,Marshaltown there is
evrey good reason why those who live
in and about Marshalltowr should but
1t In preference to an equally good
article made elsewhere: the parallel
goes farther. there is equally good rea
son why the retailer who operates in
Marshaltown should sell il and push
1t above an equally good article made
elsewhere.
Not only the consumer but the re-
taller and tobber need educating to the
Iowa propaganda for Iowa made goods.
The best place to push Iowa goods is in
Iowa stores

WAS IT CRIMINAL NeelEc1?

1t is evident that the lack OF life
boats on the Titanic is directly re-
spoilsinic for the deathlist
With a sufficient number of lifeboats
the los of life would evidently have
been comparatively negligible. The Car
pathia was on the spot a few hours at
ter the call for aid. Those who found
places in the ifeboats were saved. The
inevitable CONCLUSION is that the fail
ure to provide for just such a possible
responsible for the death list of the
Titanic. Moreover that failure seems
TO have been deliberate. The state
ment of prominent engineer is that
he had addressed the company calling
attention to the lack of space as
signed TO life saving boats while the
vessel was building.
There Will be governmental investi-
cation. Committeeman were at the
docks with subpoenas for survivors and
inquiry vii be made. But will it be
searching, sharp and productive OF re-
suits. There is little in the history o.
senatorial investigation which promises
quick and decisive action. Will the
public forget the wreck OF the Titanic
in the next great horror or command
ing sensation and the investigation
drag out Its months of delay, forget
fitness and fina, inao-jo,,
If the calamity shall have stirred ma
lions to demand and force steamship
companies to provide sufficiently for
accident and the protection Of passen-
gers In extremity some good may be
cleaned from the field Of disaster.

Railway Survey by camels.


In a very short time J. Norton Crit
fiths, N. P, will leave for Australia to
confer with the Commonwealth gov
ernment in connection with the trans
continental railway. announces the
Pail Mall Gazette.
The survey Of the vast stretch Of
country between east and west has
been the cause of not little anxiety.
Camels had to be used to traverse
the great wastes and at every point
the problem Of scarcity Of water had
to be faced and overcome.
The chief surveyor examined tho
country In advance and employed q
novel method to mark hts trail for
those who followed. He fastened .
heavy chain to his camel. and this
dragging on the road left plain trail.
When 1t was possible observations Of

Bringing Department Store to Time.

In one of our largest cities there is
a great department store represen ting
al imm ense investment. and in some
respects il IS one of the finest in the
world. Yet in that building was bar
gain department two floors below the
surface with a low ceiling. having in
rush hours the worst air imaginable.
Samples Of the air were taken to
labora tories and analysed and report
made which showed it carried more
germs than the air in the crowded
tenements and sweat shops.
Il SAID 20 the proprietor: Now, what
will you do about II? Can you get
ventilation put into that department?
It could be done but at considerable
cost because it was not done when the
building was constructed He said:
We can't 90 it. Other stores are as
bad,' he said: Well, l am perfectly frank
with you: 1 am going to see that it is
done. and will tell you how. The first
thing am going to try to get some
public action thru the press and my
facts as the basis and he laughed.
II said: am going to work this
thing up and get some true case and
get a doctors certificate I will put
there will be three or four hundred
people there and it will get out and we
will publish It thru every trade union

the old Roman style of road building,
which consists in eliminating the tun-
nels and loading it on the surface BY
all means.
The distance between the two mon
toned stations IL only 81 miles, but
as DarJeeling 10 1000 feet above the
starting point one may easily realize
the difficulties which the engineers
had to overcome. the more AZ .
toothed wheel railway was out OF any
question because Of the high cost.
In order to have the machine take all
the inclines and only on the surface.
the gage of the road was established
to be but two feet wide. The rails.
however. were OF a heavy construc-
ton and attached to ties which were
laid at very short distances from each
other. In order to augment the ad-
hesion Of the train to the rails the
locomotive has been constructed as to
develop 80 horsepower and is kept az
low as possible to have the center
of gravity close to the ground. 30
that the danger of tumbling over
when taking the sharp curves was
eliminated. The BUTTERFLIES cars are
altogether six feet high and they are
so coupled that they touch each other
in a semi-circled plane. The car is
nothing else but bottom Of boards
fastened to the car frame. the top OF
it being formed by canvas supported
by bambo sticks Four small benches
are the seating accommodations OF
this miniature railway.
In riding on this road, one has the
impression OF being On a merry-go-
round The train Winds its way up
the mountain and 1t is wonderful to
see what curves are taken by the
small engine.
The road ends In q very narrow
pass. and at once the engine turns
around and pulls the train up an IN
cline which has not been observed by
the travellers. II hill is in the way.
the road winds itself up by way OF
serpentines, but always without go
ing through any tunnels. This 10 done
in very curious way: the locomo-
tive hauls the train over one winding
OF a serpentine, switches 1t, and in
stead OF hauling the train. the loco
motive pushes it from the back. On
the second winding the train is again
switched over and the engine comes
ahead to haul the train. This IL done
until the top Of the mountain is
reached. -
In such manner the difficulties
are overcome tngentously and the ex-
pensive tunnels are eliminated. This
toy railway, as it is called, is certain.
IL the most interesting OF It's kind.

A SPLENDID STORY.

The carpathia is in port with her
burden of unutterable woe and the
story SO long and anxiously awaited
The first news last night from the
survivors justified the general faith in
the manliness Of the crew and male
passengers. 1t was women and chill
dren first. The officers and the crew
rose to the height Of their responsible
ty. The men aboard backed them as il
was TO be expected they would back
them. They filed the Iifeboats with
women and children and saw the frail
boats glide away from the sinking ship
When that had been done the band
played Nearer My God 20 Thee" and
the ship went down.
There is splendid story which will
thrill thru all military and naval his
tory which relates how a British war
ship lay helplessly sinking as the re-
suit of an accident; how the drums
beat to quarters and the seamen took
their stations; how the soldiers and
marines fell into formation upon the
Keeling decks and how all stood at at
tention" while the band played God
Save the Queen" as the vessel settled
to the final plunge. 1t has been the
theme of British orators and poets
aname with pride In men who knew
how to die like men.
But no picture in the annals of war
and warlike men Is so splendid as that
sketched by the hurried press reports
which late last night told the earliest
direct news from the Carpathia. Out
in the Pressing fog beyond Cape Race
among the crowding ice foes, an un-
organized and undiscip1ined crowd of
men unmatched the trained bravery Of
British pride and story It is to be
gathered that the men of the Titanic.
