Topics of the Times

When the vote is counted on June
We contidentially expect to see Hon.
Lafayette Young at the head Of the
l1st.-Fonda Journal.
Is the Journal attempting to express
confidence in Young. or trying to con-
ceal the fact that it is supporting his
pretensions?
The wagon loads of I.orimer and
Hines 'vindication" pamphlets in the
mails suggest that another 500 900
fund will be required to pay the
postage.
The Carroll Herald saws "Kenyon
will never win reelection without get
ting out among the people," Would the
Herald recommend that he carry a
singer" also?
OF course the Washington policeman
who pays lobbyists in the hops of get
ting his pay increased deserves ami
hilation but where and Of whom did
ne learn the system? Nevertheless a
policeman should be made to under
stand that he isn't a lumber trust.
1t is good politics. from the ward
workers point of view to lose sight of
the main purpose of convention and
make deadlock on the question Of
who should be delegates. but every
Third district convention ballot boosted
the preferential primary.
Des Molnes gets 90-cent gas at the
end of a long fight. Ninety cent gas as
a booster proposition has its strong
points just as as exorbitant price has
an opposite effect.
When Wilson, Roosevelt. LaFollette
ard Mckinley all get busy at once in
Illinois it will be as nearly a revival
of Donnybrok's famous fair as can
be attained under present cond itions.
1t would seem to be the opportune
movement to circulate a d:y petition
in Cairo, Ill.
The general opinion as expressed in
the newspapers and on the streets is
that LATE Young's proposal to substi-
tute something just as good" for Ken
yon is like all other Similar PROPOSE

TIFF RETURNS FROM THE NAVAJO VOTE.

The North American Indian is on the
way. Some day soon we may De ls-
urinp on the Indian vote as we do now
on certain nationalities and interests.
It was last fall that the Indian con-
ureeationalists and Presbyterians held
their conference at which more than
5000 Indians attended and which was
notable for the educated and intelli-
gent body Of leaders and the discussion
of topics and problems which hod
nothing to do with tomahawks and
scalping knives. It was last year that
a national association of Indians was
orxanized at Columbus, O., by Indian
newspaper men, clergymen, physicians,
lawyers, college professors and teach
ers and artists and men from almost
every walk Of active life.
Last December the Brotherhood OF
North American Indians was begun. 1t

the BleeEs1 BOOST AND BEST BOOSTER.

Mr. RoCsevelt'S aSSertion-wh1ch Is
Mr.. Roosevelt's idea only as he lives up
to it-that "this country must be g
pretty good place for all OF us il it rs
to be good place for any Of us" is the
genesis Of a good country, a good state
and good city.
Somebody said about the same thing
at meeting of the Marshalltown Club
not long ago. Discussing ways and
means to make 2 good city he advanced
the thought that to make Marshall
town a good town to live in was about
the best thing at which the MARSHALL
town club could busy itself.
That is the real problem of countries
and states and cities. to make them
selves good places for people TO live in,
not for one class or another of the vari-
ant clasifcations of people but GOOD
place for all OF u.s. place where OPP
portunity Is as equal as We can make
it, where every man shall have chance
and no man good or bad be given the
cinch Of advantage under government.
Bulk is not always growth, popula-
ton is not always development. Huge
men are not always healthy men or
strong men. There are other things to
think of besides population. There Is
the kind of population for one thing.
AS a striking present instance the pop
ulation Of Rock Island does not appear
in the light of recent events TO be OF
the kind which adds to the strength OF
cities or states or that make them go
places for ali of US, good towns to live
in
A good town to live in always has
healthy growth even if it misses the
feverish development that some mis-
take for strength People are looking
for good places to live in. The pest
boost any commonwealth or cummun-
ity can have is the purpose of its peo-
ple to make it good place for every
BODY and the best booster he who IN
sists on equality of opportunity, pubic
morality and the rights of common
citizenship.

The Referendum in Action.
[Chicago Tribu

! Nearly 100000, men handled that
| dangerous instrument, the referendum,
on Tuesday. BY it they were asked to
record their will Should 100000 be
issued in bonds to begin the construc-
ton of harbor? Would they author
ize the issuance of bonds for new fire
and police department buildings, for
bathing beaches, and for contagious
disease hospital?

TO PLANT FIELD PEAS.


Mr.. T. j. Julian and several of his
neighbors near Algona are trying a
new deal this spring. They have sent
to Canada for several bushels, perhaps
about a hundred, of field peas which
they will SOW with oats for a hay crop.
They will SOW, drill in. about bushel
and half of oats and between bush
Ell and a half Of peas to the acre. The
Courier says the oats will hold up the
peas and both will mature about the
same time. When the oats are in the
milk the peas are in the pod, and then
they are cut and usually give big
Weld and are excellent hay. Not only
that, but the peas enrich the land as
well or better than clover, and leave it
in excellent condition for corn the next
year. At least that is what Mr.. Julian
tells us. The peas cost in Canada about
$205 to 32.15 bushel.

These eminent Porto Ricans have been apt
pupils under the American regime-they have
the rulnation argument down as pat as our
American standpatters, and, according to
them, Free Sugar will ruin the sugar indus
try in Porto Rico.
When first it was proposed to admit Porto
Rlean sugar into this country free, the
American sugar growers raised the howl that
free sugar from Porto Rico would ruin Ioui-
siana and the beet sugar states in the West,
but the Sugar Trust has fattened just the
same, and the sugar industry has prospered.
It is rather amusing to see Louisiana and
Porto Rico now making common cause-a few
years ago Louisinan wanted Porto Rico sugar
shut out because it would ruin Louisiana
now Louisiana and Porto Rico both want
sugar from other countries shut out because
free sugar will ruin Porto Rico.
1t is the same old bunco argument that all
of the protected interests raise whenever they
see their monopoly threatened and the people
likely to get square deal.

Watson wants to be a delgate-at-
large at the Democratic convention
and certainly NO other Underwoodite
can read his titles quite SO clear to
the honor. Although Watson's writ
ings fairly bristie with praise of
Underwood, it is plain that his fierce
advocacy fer Underwood springs
primarily from his hatred for Will
son.
i is mot that love Underwood
more, but Wilson less" sort of pro-
gram which he seems to be follow
ing. 1t has been said of Tom Wat
son that his great genius is for hat
ing; that no man in Georgia can hate
SO hard and SO often as Watson. No
one knows just why he hates VIII
son, unless it is because Wilson has
q Catholic secretary and certainly
that doesn't SEEM. to the ordinary
well-balanced man, like a reason for
the vast supply OF hatred which Tom
keeps on tap. Bat the fact that It
is there Ia not TO be doubted and it
is working overtime in the interest
Of Underwood.
Tom Watson Is one of the main
springs Of the Underwood boom in
Georgia and nobody need try to for
get it, because Tom doesn't propose
that they shall.

utterly disguised, and seem to think
that you are in line with them in
these matters.

WATSON AND UNDERWOOD.

Of Tom Watson, which for many
long month has been sounding the
praise of his pet in its shrill and
piercing staceato, be lost to the ear
now that he Georgian megaphone is
sending the roar OF Hearst through
the State and chorus Of echoes and
smaller voices are awakened.
Watson deserves all the credit
possible of course, that
credit Is the gracious word to be
used, for starting the Underwood
boom. Long before Underwood was
more than shadow shape Of pos
sible candidate in Georgia, Watson
was twanging his praise, while
scolding, abusing and vinifying WIFI
son with prodigtous energy, and
extraordinary ingenuity.
Others have Joined him and per-
haps others would; like to obscure
him, but there never was a minute
when Tom Watson wasn't in IT,
and Tom Is not the kind of person
to step aside and see other men max
Ing free with his thunder without
murnuring protest. We imagine
Tom Watson's protest will be decid-
eddy more than a murmur, too, when
the time comes-if it does come-to
make 1t.

EDITO RIAL NOTES
BY J. ID. WATSON

The Supreme Court has been asked to
rehear the Patent case-the case in which
the Court recently decided that the owner of
patent right had the right to dictate to the
purchaser of patented device as to what
material should be used in operating the
device. Under the Courts decision, for
instance, the patentee of sewing machine
could dictate to the purchaser of the machine
what make Of needle, Oil OF thread the pur-
chaser might use on the machine that he had
bought and paid for.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-04-11

Unless the Court does rehear the case and
reverses it's former decision, all present laws
against Trusts and Monopolies are a waste of
words-through patent a person or corpo-
ration may have complete monopoly and
there IS no way in the world to prevent it.
IL the Supreme Court does not reverse itself,
then Congress should at once get busy and
remodel our patent laws from beginning to
end.
Almost everything that the Trusts manu-
facture is manufactured under some patent
right or process, and under this patent right
OF patent process, they can defy the anti
trust laws without fear of punishment
~
Mr.. Underwood has again passed Wool
reduction bill through the House-practicallv
the same as that passed at the extra session,
and the same is now before the Senate
Whether the tariff measures that the
House has passed will die in the Senate or
again be vetoed by Mr. Taft depends upon
the course pursued by the Democratic and
Insurgent Senators-they have the strength
combined to put them through, and the Demo-
Gratis can force the Insurgents to show down,
but will they do it is the question.
Senator La Toilette is taking more interest
in his campaign for the Republican nomina-
ton than he is taking in legislation for
the benefit OF the people, but even without
La Toilette, Mr.. Taft can again be put in
hole On the tariff measures
The Democratic Senators owe it to the peo-
pie and to their party to force the measures
to the front, and if they fail of passage, let
the country know just where the responsibility
lies.
Senator Smith, of Georgia, following his
lieutenant, Hardwick, has left his post of duty
at Washington, and has come down to Geor-
gla to dictate to the people as to whom they
shall support for the Democratic nomination
for President as we'll as to whom they shall
support for the Gubernatorial nomination.
Hardwick went down to Washington
county and undertook to tell the people there
whom they should vote for for county Off
cers-Hardwick and his henchman, Moye got
the political life mauled out Of them
Hardwick has gone back to Washington,
where he is being paid to stay-Senator Smith
had better do likewise.
