, The Freeman-Tribune doesn't
agree with Senator Cummins when
he says the president should not at
tempt to influence legislation. The
president ought to be leader. He
should not use unfair advantage,
however. but he should by argu-
ment and the presentation of facts
try to influence congress to pass leg
islation demanded by and in the in
terest of the people. ....

Keltz, who was put out of office
by Governor Carroll, is, it is under

against Kenyon. His opposition to
Kenyon is due to the latter's refus-

We have noticed no criticism on
the part of Iowa standpatters of the
action of President Taft in cam
paigning for his personal advant-
age on time that is costing the peo-
pie 5000 per day. A different dispo-
sition was shown when Gov. Cum
Minis was stumping Iowa.

Taft says about two-thirds of the
federal Office holders were appoint
ed by Roosevelt, hence they are
working for the ex-president. This
is banking upon the credulity of the
people. The man who holds the axe
is the one who is in position to COM
mand the support of the federal
crowd. The president is in full pos
session of that implement and he
knows how to use it and the men
who surround him know just what
they want" The federal Office hold
er who wants a job is just like the
president-he doesn't care a conti-
mental for past favors. 1t is the fu-
ture he is looking out for.

Progressive republicans must do
something more for Their candidates
this year than to wish them success.
There is need of work all along the
line and on the day of the primary
it will be necessary for progress
sive republicans to go to the polls
and vote. Not in five or six years
has the opposition been so conf
dent of success and confidence is
something that enthuses and
prompts voters to go and vote.
There are enough progressive repub-
licans in Iowa to nominate every
progressive candidate, from Clarke
for governor down to the bottom of
the state ticket But it cannot be
done by neglecting the duty of vot-
ing at the primary.
President Taft says Roosevelt
wrecked the peace negotiations with
Great Britain and France. The gem
eral impression was that the SEN
ate wrecked them, and as the SEN
ate as now constituted is not a
Rooseveltian body, the charges of
the president are without founda-
ton in fact. However, had the
president been as active in pressing
these negotiations and in trying to
get the republican congress to re-
deem the platform pledge on the
tariff as he is in trying to be re-
elected his administration would be
much more popular and there
would now be no occasion for the
strenuous fight he is engaged in for
his own political salvation.
Union labor has Endorsed Sena-
tor Kenyon. What has LATE Young
ever done to union labor? He has
been paying his good cash to union
labor for good many years. It's
enough to make the linotype ma
chimes balk to set up all this in
dorsement of Kenyon by union lab
or.-Waterloo Times-Tribune.
The fact that man employs
union labor is no proof that he is
friendly to such labor. The United
States steel corporation employees it..
So does the Standard Oil Company.
Likewise the beef trust They have
to. They can't get along without
it. The employment of union labor
establishes neither friendship nor
hostility. Probably union labor has
looked up the record and has be-
come convinced that Senator Ken
yon is more satisfactory than his
opponent.

Some are denouncing Roosevelt
for delaying the Harvester trust
case for a little more than year
while they are defending Taft for
delaying it three years. After Taft
ordered prosecution, on the gath of
last month, he pointed to it as JUS
LITIGATION of his claim that he is the
only genuine trust-buster who ever
occupied the presidential chair. Aft
err all, the president is some grand
stander upon occasion. However,
under the circumstances, the less
said of the prosecution" of this
trust the better. 1t has all the ap-
pearance of being for political eff
feet only.

34,2SS, Wilson 22,436, Harmon T.
16S. Roosevelt over Taft 3,115,
Clark over Wilson 11,S47. Not
withstanding Roosevelt's majority
Taft's managers are talking of get
ting the Maryland delegation for
Taft merely because majority OF
the delegates to the state conven-
ton are personally favorable to the
president. But it is only talk. They
will not have the courage to COM
NIT the theft when it is put to
them.

Taft's managers are getting ready
to steal four delegates from Mary
land. Roosevelt carried the state
by popular majority about the size
of the Taft majority in Massachu-
sets and the Roosevelt majority in
the state convention is three. I'm
der the law in that state the sue
cessful candidate is entitled to every
delegate, but as Taft carried
couple of congressional districts his
managers say he is entitled to four
votes-law or no law. 1t remains
to be seen whether or not the pres
ident will consent to profit by such
a disgraceful and dishonest scheme.

TO FIGHT EXCISE FINDING
Farley to Appeal from Decision
Affecting Mccoy" Place.
Telegraph 10 The tribune

Albany. Jan. 2S.-W. w. Farley. State
Excise Commissioner, has not yet recov-
cred from the shock caused by decision
recently handed down at a special term OF
the Supreme Court in New York by JUS
ticc Ford, IN connection with Kid Nc
Coy's" place in the basement OF the Hotel
Normandle. Broadway and SSth street
Justice Ford denied the application of the
Excise Commissioner for an injunction re-
straining John j. Whalen from trafichng
in liquor at the Mccoy" place. The appll-
cation was on the ground that the sale OF
liquor was prohibited on the premises by
the revocation of the previous certificate.
held by Elise Ruehl, because such premises
were permitted to become and remain dis
orderly" The present law provides that
when liquor tax certificate is revoked on
the ground that a place is disorderly no
LIQUOR can be sold on the premises again for
a year Commissioner Farley said to-day:
Justice ForGs decision wipes out one Of
the best provisions of the liquor tax law
that is, prohibiting traffic in liquors by any
person at premises where a cerufcate mas
been revoked on the ground that the same
were dsorderly, for a period Of one year
from the date of entry OF the order OF
revocation. the practical effect or the DE-
cisiOn being that IL new number can be
obtained for such premises trafhc In liquors
can be resumed thereat at once, notwith-
standing the provisions OF the statute IN
tended 10 wipe out the conduct of disor-
dcrly houses in connection with the busl-
ness of traficking In liquors.
Ii is the intention of Commissioner Far
lev TO have this decision reviewed by the
Appellate Court at once.

MARGIN SHEETS ADMITTED
THE Red Handed Things" in the
Packers Trial.

Chicago, Jan. 26.-Thirty-lve original mar
gin sheets OF the National Packing Com
pany for shipments made to Eastern cities
between January and August. 1910, and re-
ferred TO as "thc rcd-handed things" by
Special Counsel Pierce Butler for the gov
ernmcnt, were read TO the jury to-day in
the packers trial as important links in the
prosecutions circumstantial chain OF evil
dence.
The defence made an effort N exclude
them from the evidence, on tho ground that
they were immaterial and that the record
was being loaded with irrelevant figures
which would detract the attention OF the
jury from the main issues
'You call these original margin sheets
vague and immaterial?" shouted Special
Counsel Butler. why they are the red
handed things in this case"
Judge Carpenter overrued the objections
of the defence and allowed tho sheets 10 bs
read.
The defence denied all knowledge Of
these original margin sheets until they
were suddenly produced in court yesterday
by District Attorney Wllkerson.
Steiner G. Langher. margin clerk OF the
National Packing Company, was cross-ex-
amined at length by John Barton Payne,
an attorney FOR the defence, who read hun
dreds OF entries from the corporations
books to show the wide difference in the
price obtained for lots Of meat shipped
from the same plant to different cities.
Instances were cited where the differ
ence in price was a cent pound on the
same lot Of meat sold the same day in
cities hundreds Of miles apart. The defence
argued that this shows that the price re-
ceived is not determined by the margin.
Mr.. Payne attempted TO show that the
price was fixed solely by the law OF supply
and demand and by the ability Of the
branch house managers.
The government contends that the test
cost and margin we're the means used by
the alleged combination Of packers to fix
the price and that the system was uni
form, although the figures might differ on
separate lots of cattle.
