~ few weeks ago." says A. E. Keep
ford. the states tuberculosis expert,
call the world was filled with horror
at tie terrible news that the snip
Titanic had rushed onto an iceberg
head on and gone down with 1923 OF
her passengers 1t was appalling!
Everywhere men and women were
staggered BY the shock Of this catas-
tronhe Of the sea. Then bit by bit
stories OF heroism and sacrifice or
men and women who persisted there
added to the human interest. These
mon and women were heroic IN great
crisis. but what shall be said OF the
i .507 who persisted of tuberculosis last
year In Iowa. Many OF them went down
to death az heroically and uncomplain-
inrly az the heroes of the Titanic.
"And the sad part of It all is that IN
Iowa or on the Titanic, ample precau-
tions had not been made to protect hui
man life. The Titanic rushing ahead
full speed to set new record? DIVE
dends. the answer! One thousand, five
hundred and seven killed in Iowa by
tuberculosis? Failure to appreciate the
value OF human lives, the answer!
"The mercy of the Titanic is that 1t
will not be repeated, while the tragedy
Of tuberculosis in Iowa will be re-
enacted.
.why not more lifeboats on the
Titanic? Indeed, why?
Why not less tuberculosis in Iowa?
Indeed, why?"

Farm statistics concerning iowa IN
dictate that Iowa is, the greatest agri-
cultural state in the union" said Ralph
Bolton of Des Moines in an interview.
"Figures that have gathered recent
Nv show that the farming activity IN
the Hawkeye state represents large
per cent of the agricultural industry
of the United States. The farm land
of Iowa represents 9.s per cent Of all
the increased farm values in the
United States for the last ten years.
The increase in value of Iowa farm
land is greater than the combined In
crease in value Of all farm land IN
Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado,
New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada,
Arkansas. Louisiana and Oregon. The
implements on the farms of Iowa rep
resent rs per cent Of the total value
of implements Of the United States.
they are worth more than the farm
implements Of Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Is
land, Connecticut, Montana, ldaho'
wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Ari-
IONA and Nevada combined. Other
statistics show the same relative ad-
vantage for Iowa.

'ositions had been mads to Roosevelt
when it was seen he could not be nOmi-
mated that he should step aside for
Justice Hughes, Senator Cummins or
Governor Hadley. Justice Hughes sent
word that he would not consider the
nomination The friends OF Senator
Cummins and Governor Hadley, now
ever, got behind the movements IN BE-
half Of their candidates with enthus-
iasm until they found that Roosevelt
would not retire from the field. Tney
clearly understood when the negotia-
lions reached this point that Roosevelt
was standing In the way of any COM
promise that would prevent q split IN
the party.
In the circular published by Pub
Usher Pierce, Roosevelt In a signed
statement says:
AS matter of fact, no offer was
made to me by anyone authorized to
speak for the Taft people on behalf
Of any third candidate. Various pro
positions were informally made to me
under circumstances that did not con-
vince me that those making them
were acting in good faith or had the
power to carry out their promises.
This completes the record. Roose-
welt admits that propositions were
made to him looking to the nominal
ton of third candidate. He said no
propositions were made to him by
"anyone authorized to speak for the
Taft people" The propositions that
were made however. came after eau
cuses of the state delegations had de-
cided on this as the best course to talks
to avoid fight. The men who made
the propositions were carrying out
plan made by the delegates to the con-
vention. The delegates had the vot-
ing power and they had the ability to
carry out the plan If Roosevelt had
consented and his delegates had been
left free to Join with the other dele
gates in naming a third candidate
Roosevelt at Chicago was making
personal fight If there was any
cause" or any issue whatever back OF
his candidacy 1t was one man affair.
for he would not consent to turn 1t
over to any of the men proposed as
compromise candidates. He had
fought Taft through the campaign for
the nomination. He had lost. He was
not willing that anyone else should do
what he could not do so he blocked
all attempts at the nomination OF
third candidate and secured hall ana
made all arrangements hours before
the presidential candidate was nomt'
mated for his Saturday night meeting
when he launched his candidacy on
boiling ticket.

A close political observer recently
said that this country had less to fear
from graft than from hypocrisy in pub
lie life. Representative Nye OF Min
nesota. speaking in congress the other
day said that prejudice, greed and
cowardice were the besetting sins 81
the age He paid his respects to 1e
reform or as follows: "A man to be a
true reformer must not be an office
seeker. There is too much film flam,
too much hippodrome, in many Of the
specious pretensions and arguments Of
MANY reformers." This point of view
may be expected to spread during the
next few months.
