CUT IN DIVIDENDS

Says, Necessitates Cut in
Dividend Rate.

Secretary Frank Sweeny Of the Federal Mining and
Smelling company has issued the following statement to the
stockholders in explanation of the proposed reduction of the
dividends from per cent to a per cent rate:
Snce the recent passage by the house of representatives
of that commodity has fallen from approximately $45 to
$395@4 per 100 pounds While the rise of silver has to
extent offset the loss in lead is doubtful whether at the
above price of lead this company for this quarter the

It is his bent. He could not be 9TH

MR., FRANKES DILEMA.

Carl FRANKIE, chairman of the
progressive state ticket, recently is
sued circular letter declaring that
he was not a candidate for United
States senator against Senator Ken
yon, but added that he thought
there should be a progressive to con-
test the senatorial toga with the
Fort Dodge man. Among other
things he says:
"Byers, Garst. Funk, Ingham,
Smith and others have fought for
years in the progressive ranks along
the lines represented by Senator
Cummins. They have progressive
records that can not be questioned.
They are not tainted in any shape or
manner with railroad. or corporate
influences, and they never have been
afraid to stand openly by their con-
victions.'
1t Is conceded that the gen.
tlemen named have good records
as progressive republicans. They
have fought good fight and every
one of them, except Mr.. Ingham. has
been rewarded by official position
rendered by an appreciative people.
Moreover, every one Of them is sup
porting Senator Kenyon for re-elec-
tion and every one of them, the
Freeman-Tribune believes. was OPP
posed to the nomination of third

STAND BY KENYON.

The Chicago Tribune, the leading
Roosevelt paper Of the west, Is for
Kenyon's reelection. The Tribune
was a Roosevelt paper before the
colonel decided to enter the contest
for the presidential nomination and
it has been for him ever since. It
advised the formation of the pro-
gressive party and Is striking
sledge-hammer blows every day for
the cause. Here iAwhat it says OF
Kenyon:
However Iowa voters may divide
as republicans and progressives on
national issues, there need be no di-
vision in support of one candidate
whose reelection will depend upon
the complexion of the next Iowa
legislature. That candidate is VIM.
S. Kenyon of Fort Dodge, whose
brief service in the senate has prov
ed his mettle.
Senator Kenyon, though a thor
ough progressive, as he has shown
in the senate, has elected to support
the regular ticket. We think this a
mistake, but in this case it is an
honest one which progressive party
men can well afford to overlook in
view OF the character of Senator
Kenyon and the genuineness Of his
progressive tendencies. The repuh-
licans and progressives should COM
bine on Kenyon in the next legis-i
lature and thus assure another able
senator. With cummins
and Kenyon the state will be found

zine for July ~, 1912, Senator La
Toilette said:
while Roosevelt was president,
he offered no encouragement to the
progressive republicans who were
struggling with the old machine
bosses to enact direct primaries and
other progressive statutes. His in
fuence was openly on the side OF
the reactionaries. His appointees
were the most active agents of the
opposition.
Until little more than one year
ago, Roosevelt had not even express
ed himself as friendly to what had
become while he was in Africa
so widely known as the progressive
republican movement

There is a rumor in New York
that Roosevelt will become editor Of
the Press IL he is not elected pres
ident. One thing about Roosevelt
that makes him popular is his adapt
ability to any position. He could
fill the job of railroad section boss
or could occupy with credit any pull
pit in the land. He made good as
a cowboy and oflciated acceptably
as deputy sheriff in western Da-
kota thirty-five years ago. He would
make a proficient locomotive engin-
eer, as he made an efficient police
commissioner of New York. He left
his impress upon the statutes OF
the Empire state when a member Of
the legislature more than thirty
years ago and made a good record
as a soldier in Cuba during the
Spanish-American war. AS a his
torian in certain directions he is
success. He filled the position of
governor of New York to the entire
satisfaction Of the people and with
credit to himself He has also dem
onstrated that he would make a
good detective, as some of the re-
calcitrant judges and senators found
when he occupied the white house.
Roosevelt was one of the best pres
idents the country ever had, being
second only to Washington and Lin
coin. The versatility Of the man
is wonderful. As associate editor
OF the Outlook he is success and
would make great advertising
specialist for any big concern, or he

state ticket. In these matters Mr..
FRANKIE had and has no confidence in
their judgment, but would override
their counsel, even if such action in
sured the election of the democratic
state ticket and q democratic Unit
ed States senator. AS the Freeman
Tribune views the situation such
"progressives" as Carl FRANKIE are
doing more damage to the progress
siye cause and more damage to
Roosevelt than all the standpatters
and democrats combined can do.
They have driven thousands of sup
porters from Roosevelt by their ma
MIA for third state tickets and have
made Iowa doubtful state when it
was generally conceded 1t would be
for Roosevelt. They are further
damaging the national ticket by
their unjust fight on Kenyon. who
is one of the cleanest, ablest and
most sincere men in Iowa, either in
public or private life.
Kenyon is not tainted by railroad
or corporation influence, the insin-
uations of Carl FRANKIE or any one
else to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. True, little whippersnapper
politicians and some good men who
have been mislead have charged this
against Kenyon, but the people
know better. Roosevelt has also
been charged with being subseryient
to corporation influence, and even
now the unfolding of conspiracy
to drive him from public life is
plainly revealed by the fake cam
paign investigating committee in
session in Washington.

BATTLE OF ANTIETAM.

Minneapolis Journal: Fifty years
ago on September 16 and II was
fought the battle OF Antietam, a
drawn battle that might have been
made a defeat, perhaps decisive, for
Lee.
South mountain is the eastern
ridge Of the great middle Appalach-
ian valley into which Lee had with
drawn. He planned to hold the
passes of South mountain againat
McClellan's advance. while jackson
captured Harper's Ferry. The prize
was not worth the hazard, although
Lee and jackson calculated they
would have time enough to accom-
plish the capture and then reunite
to accept battle with Mcclellan
somewhere in the valley.
But accident placed Lees plan in
McClellan's possession. The federal
commander acted more quickly than
was his wont, but not with that ce-
lerity with which a born captain
seizes a great opportunity. The fed
eral van stormed the passes OF South
mountain. Lee was not given time
to select his battlefield. He was
forced to retire as far westward as
possible, when he stood with his
back to the Potomac and his right
and center defended by Antietam
creek, a stream parallel to the river
and flowing into 1t.
There Lee concentrated, and there
Jackson had time to join him and
to guard the left, which was curved
back from the creek across the
plateau between the creek and the
river.
Catching Lee in this unfavorable
position, Mcclellan, despite his de-
lays which prevented him from
striking Lee before Jackson's juno
ton, was again presented with a
grand opportunity. His defective
strategy he might have redeemed
by strenuous tactics on that battle
field.
Mcclellan had the superior num-
bers, $4,000 electives as opposed by
$1,000 OF Lee, and at the COM
mencement the division OF A. P. Hill
of Jackson's corps was at Harper's
Ferry. while the divisions of D.. H.
Hill and of Hood only came in time
to rescue the lef. wing from dis
aster.
The federals fought like demons
at Antietam. The fault lay in the
generalship. Mcclellan delivered a.
terrific assault upon the confederate
left under Jackson, and only after
that attack had completely expend-
ed itself did the federal left under
Burnside deliver It's attack upon the
right under Longstreet.
These separate attacks each fall
ed. because Lee was able to pass re-

LAFOLLErTE LAST YEAR.

In speech in the United States
senate on the 18th OF July, 1911, q
little more than year ago, Senator
LaFollette said:
President Roosevelt was so
strongly intrenched in the conf
dence and affection of the American
people that they were ready to set
aside tradition that has been pre-
served since the time of Washing
ton, to elect him for a third term
as their president" "He DEM
onstrated to the people by what he
said, by what he recommended to
congress, by what he did. the sim
cerity OF his efforts to command re-
spect for the law, to secure equal
ity of all before the law, and to
save the country from the dangers
Of a plutocratic government, toward
which we were fast tending.
"The American people were new
er allowed for one moment to forget
that he (Taft) was the chosen in
strument to fulfill the great pur-
poses of the great man who had
committed to his hands the work
OF his administration, finished and
unfinished"
"The people elected Mr.. Taft in
the belief that he would hold fast
to all that Mr.. Roosevelt had gain
ed for the public, sustain his forces
in the field, re-enforce and support
them, revoke no orders. reverse no
action, but apply himself to crystal
lizing into statute law the public
opinion, which President Roosevelt
organized as a great creative force
throughout the land"
'1n all the record OF this (Taft's)
administration no more glazing ex-
ample is presented of the complete
surrender to special interests and
the complete reversal of Roosevelt's
progressive policies than that shown
in dealing with the amendments to
the interstate commerce act"
81 have reviewed the record Of
this administration to no good pur-
pose If / have not made 1t plain
that the great issue for which
Roosevelt appealed to the public
conscience, for which the progress
sives have been fighting for years,
is not primarily the tariff, railway
regulation, or conservation. 1t is
these; but sir, it is more than all
these combined. 1t is for justice.
plain, simple justice, for every hui
man being against organized selfish
ness and power"
