clusion that the republican party as
managed would not be permitted to
progress. the platform adopted by the
progressive party and the sense OF out
rage felt by republicans who had
elected d progressive president and
had been betrayed by him. But had
Taft been progressive ne would he
president today and there would be no
organization known as the progressive
party.
1t is mistaken to say the least to say
that the elimination OF a few leaders
would reorganize the party The new
party must be progressive and in
progressive hands. The political
thought of the country has been in
process Of change for the past few
years. TO attempt to account for
general uprising and revolt by distaste
for few leaders is nonsensical.
The sooner republicans cease trying
to excuse and account for last years
rebuke in any way except that the
party was wrong in it's attitude toward
the demands of it's voters, the better
it will be for the republican party.

THEY BELONG TO the scAveneEs.

The excellent system Of learning
sonnet hing every day has another side.
It is almost as important to forget
something every day. The art of for
getting is worth cultivating along with
the art of memory. For there is an art
Of memory, a training that makes
things stick in the mind. There is also
the art of letting loose of things which
should be forgotten. One is as i'm
portant to complete happiness as the
other.
Persons who never forget anything
are to be pitied They have so many
bitter memories and recall so much
they were better 20 have forgotten.
Things occur. Heartburnings and dis
sensions arise in families and among
friends. There are always incidents IN
all lives which make for unhappiness.
Most of these do not amount 10 d great
deal in themselves. Those who remem
Der and hold them like thorns in the
side Of recollection are the worse for
1t They should be forgotten, rubbed
off the slate.
Memory is a palimpsest on which we
write and rewrite from year 10 year
and day to day, the history Of life.
There is so much worth preserving that
space to record and keep alive that
which ought never TO have happened is
space wasted. Every petty quarrel
should be written over with the record
of kindly remem brance.
We shall come to the end Of our little
strip of papyrus soon enough without
wasting it and our energies commemor-
ating the things that are best forgotten.
1t is as easy to forget as to remember.
A healthy memory should be like any
healthy organism capable of absorbing
the elements Of growth and strength
and eliminating the waste and worth
less.
Practice forgetting There is no more
room for bitter and angry recollection
in the mind than room for weeds in
the garden. Hoe them out and throw
them over the back fence into the alley.
They belong to the scavenger.

she has been largely occupied In trying
to adjust the feminine mind of Los

So far the law seems to work very

the surface the express companies ana

seems to be no way TO nullify Iowa
laws with the Kenyon measure at their
back. The only way evident for the
liquor interests is the fight on the
constitutionality of the law.
Under the Iowa law shipments Of

from outside the state, except TO In

FIGHTING THE PETITION System
Waterloo Reporter.]
There Is. however, q more important
ASPECT to Judge Dunham's decision
than the settling for the time being,
whether Waterloo shali have saloons
or not. and it is far-reaching in Its
effect. fA
Under the rulings and interpreta-
tions OF the court It is practically I'M
possible for any city in iowa to estab-
lish the legalized saloon.
A careful analysis Of the names that
have been eliminated in the decision,
as published elsewhere, will demon
strate to any one that this ID a fact
The supreme court and Judge Dun
ham hold that the poll books are the
ONLY evidence of the names or voters
qualified to sign petition ana thirty
seven names are eliminated because
they differ, or are interpreted to diner
from what is the interpreted spelling
Of the poll hooks. Then, on the otner
hand, i, is held that no man can sign
his name except exactly sit should
be spelled. no matter how 1t appears
or is held 10 appear on the pool books
over which he had no power or author
ity to compel correct spelling. TWEEN
ty-siy names are thus held be nc
titious.
This clearly DISTINGUISHES, for pur-
poses OF the petition such men. no
matter how qualified they are, now
much taxes they pay or what service
they may render TO the city. Accord
ing 10 decisions no power on earth
can give these men the right OF petit
ton in this instance. altho the law
requires that he be counted in fixing
the total number of signatures re-
ouired. Not only can ne not express
his wishes in the matter. but he is ac-
tually counted on the other SIDE. con-
trarv to his own Judgment

DODGlNG THE FACTS,

1T isn't half so much a question Of
policy as it is II personal matter. says
the Hamburg Republican, referring To
party reorganization. If few men
OF both elements of the party could he
retired and their ambition eliminated
the reorganization wiuld be easy
The Republican seems to have failed
to keep cases on recent history. The
greater republican states which last
year broke away from the candidate of
the republican party were the states
which forced his nomination four Years
before These states carle II Taft be-
cause he professed at that time 70 rep
resent the progressive movement. HIS
ca npaigns both previous to nomina-
ton and 10 election were made on
THAT basis. There was no enthusiasm
for Taft when he was a candidate for
the first time Personally he did not
attract the leaders of either faction of
republcanism. The boost was plainly
for progressive republcanism.
When Taft vas so Overwhelmingly
defeated last fall his personality had
little TO do with it. He Mad never been
personally favorite OF the public. The
dissatisfaction and disgust engendered
by his administration were due TO fail
IRE to stand on promises and platform.
The objection TO Barnes is not so much
personal TO the man, It would De the
same if he were Jones or Brown bur
toward what he stands for in party
management. Roosevelt's vote last
year was not personal vote. II came
from three directions, the public con-
