probably means the organization of .
third party. a.
Can the party afford this? Can the
delegates Of the party permit the
wrecking Of the organization, the des-
TIMES of which is in their hands as
representatives Of the party upon the
rocks of Taft and Roosevelt's ambitions
and the desires of their immediate sup
porters? The divisions OF the party
see from their different viewpoints a
deliberate attempt to steal nomina-
ton for Taft and an equally deliberate
attempt to bulldoze a nomination for
Roosevelt. That is the way it looks to
the divided ranks of republicans look
ing on. 1t is true that Roosevelt has
the best of it. There is no doubt that
a considerable number Of the delegates
under question were strong into
others honestly elected were strong
armed out. But the situation exists
just the same. AS between the two.
Taft's nomination and Roosevelt's NOM
ination. a split in the party seems in
evitable. There is a way out and the
delegates who represent the country
instead of a candidate should be quick
to grasp it, The warning divisions of
the party can not be united upon either
of the leading candidates. They can
come together on Cummins. Common
sense, party loyalty. such as it is and
such as it amounts to. and the general
good all call for his nomination. The
convention should set both Taft and
Roosevelt aside and nominate him
There is no imperative need of a
new party if republicans will heed the
voice of the true republican party, the
men who vote it and desire its continu-
ance in honor and usefulness. Com
promise on the candidate in 1872 and
preferential primaries in 1916 will pre-
serve the party. Continuing under the
system which has been made so effective
by the national committee in favor of its
candidate means a split soon or late
but 1t is not Yet TOO late to avoid 1t
and the only way is thru third can
didate offered by the convention to the
united franchises of the party.

DO YOU KNOW

A bad book is bad companion. How
what books their children are reading?
Do you know what your children have
read and what they are reading?
The tendency toward shifting pa
rental responsibility leaves selection Of
reading matter largely to others out
side the family. We assume that pub
tic libraries contain nothing but good
books. It isn't so. Librarians and
book committees feel the demand of the
public and are forced to cater to public
taste. There is call and even demand
for books which the Librarians disap-
prove. Neither librarians nor book
committees nor library boards may
totally disregard the demands of any
considerable part Of the public they
serve. And that is right There is no
good reason why the librarian should
assume or be forced to undertake the
responsibilities Of parentage for every
boy and girl in town.
A book does not require to be OBJ
scene to be vicious. Remember that.
There is no public library which does
not contain many books you would not
desire your uniformed boys and girls to
read. Remember that also.
The magazines are rank offenders.
They bring into the home analyses Of
life which, while they may be true
enough as analyses of certain types
and OF phases OF life, are as dangerous
to children as cigarets. There is de-
mand for the narcotics and the stimu-
lants in literature and the magazines
respond. They desire circulation be-
cause circulation is responsible for the
number Of the advertising pages and
the rate per page. People ask for GER

"REIn CLARKsoN's CONCLUSION.

.Ret'' Clarkson. erstw'ile leader OF
iowa republicans and in his time die
tator of politics and arbiter of polit-
ical claims in Iowa spoke in prophecy
the other evening at Chicago.
I'VE have come to sharp parting
OF the Ways" said Mr.. Clarkson. Those
of us who can not fall in with the
changing temper Of the time must step
aside for the general betterment OF
the national body if we are to preserve
any trace of the idealism with Whlca
the makers of the American constitu-
ton were imbued. If we are 10 con-
tinue as a republic, we must trans
late the definite right OF the people
to rule"
In Clarkson's opinion as he expressed
It the only sane way to settle the
troubles which afflict the part is for
that element now in opposition TO pro-
gressive policies to recognize the IN
evitable, bow to the Will of the people
and meet on common ground for the
speedy and equitable adjustment of our
economic and Industrial state"
You and l will have witnessed the
last republican convention to be held
in our day when this one finally ad-
1ourns; presidential candidates will
hereafter be nominated directly at pri-
maries," said General Clarkson, and
Chauncey Depew. who sat with him as
sented sadly, There may be confer
ences but probably no conventions
And they were right. The voters
have decided to select the men they
vote for and to write their own plat
forms on the shelf inside the election
booth.

IOWA AND RURAL SCHOOLS.
mo City Times ]

Mason lily llIlSS.I
With all the talk prior TO the pri
mary contest for governor Of the state
about greater Iowa." it would seem
that the next few years ought to see
considerable done along that line.
First Of all, if we are to have greater
Iowa, we must see that Iowa has
greater and better educational advan-
tages. Tho in no place in America
are there better colleges than those
to be found in our state, and in few
states are the high schools better; it
is lamentable fact that the rural
school system in vogue here is ten
years behind the times.
Go west from our state clear to the
Pacific coast. and in almost every
state you enter you will find better
rural schools than we maintain, the
school houses are better and cleaner.
the system of grades is better chosen
and the teachers are better paid. The
farmers of our state must open up
their pocket books, which are so free
TO pay the cost of fine barns for the
horses and sheds for the hogs. and
build school houses that are more than
the sha cks in common use now by their
children. 1t is not fair to the children
to hire high priced men to care FOR
their stock, and green slips Of girls to
teach their children. The thing for
them to do is to stop talking. and build
bet ter school houses. pay better wages,
that the school teachers can afford to
better prepare themselves and thus pay
the debt that prosperous people owe
to the children.
If Iowa will begin on the increased
efficiency of the schools, and work
for the best school system in America
in the rural districts, where the foun-
dations of education are laid, she will
be in fair way to accomplish the de-
sire to make herself better and a
greater state. If, as statistics show,
80 per cent of the pupils of our schools
never finish the high school, we should.
see to it that the rural and grade,
schools Of our state are the best to be
afforded. The health and learning OF
our children is the. best investment We
can make. They are what, in the end.
will make Iowa great or despised.
VOTING MACHINES IN FRANKLIN
