advancing the interests of their race
in the United States Of course,
Mr.. Wilson was then angling for
votes. Taft and Roosevelt had both
been criticized by "colored voters for
certain actions and Candidate Will
son saw an opportunity to gain
some colored votes in such states as
Indiana, Ohio and Illinois by throw
ing a little taffy in the direction Of
the colored citizen. Now, however,
he has opportunity to make good,
but is not taking advantage of it.
When Vardaman introduces his
Jim Crow bills the president will
have to take stand, as painful as
it may be to him.
From all over the world come re-
ports of increased race prejudices
and far-seeing statesmen and phil
osophers fear the ultimate results
may be direful. In this country, ten
per cent of our population is colored.
1t appears that every citizen should
be given an even chance in the race
for subsistence and that the govern :
ment, at least, should not join in
discrimination against them.

coerce members of congress-
The country does give three
whoops how legislation is enacted.
The ,o,nt-y wants to know just
what ir ancnces are brought to bear
upon H. III 5ers of congress and IL
wants to now the arguments pre-
scented in the caucus to make mem
bers vote for a thing which they do
not want to vote for. Under the
caucus method bad legislation can
be enacted and every member can
escape direct criticism and direct re-
sponsibility by shouldering the bad
legislation upon the party. He can
tell his constituents that he opposed
it in the caucus, but being outvoted
by the majority was compelled to
submit to party discipline and vote
for it in open session of congress.
That has been worked to finish in
the past and it will be worked to a
finish in the future. On the whole,
the legislation of any party is good
and voters who believe in the princi-
pies and policies of party are slow
to desert it simply because Of few
bad bills that get through OCCASION
ally. But if they can pick out the
men responsible they will very soon
retire them. Here is where the Sc
cret caucus steps in and furnishes
protection to the men who are al
ways ready and eager to serve spec
ial privilege if they can do so with
out detection.
Champ Clark or any other demo-
crat cannot silence denunciation of
the secret caucus and of the other
tactics used by men who always have
axes to grind. President Wilson is
on record against the secret caucus,
as, in fact, is practically the entire
democratic party.

CHAMP CLARK, TURNCOAT.


Speaker Champ Clark surrendered
the gavel few days ago to defend
the caucus method of forcin
through legislation, and in the
course of his remarks said:
This continued howl about the
caucus is the most idiotic thing that
has assembled to heaven in the last
generation shouted the speaker.
"The country wants to know what
congress does, it does not care three
whoops how it did it. We have re-
vised the tariff and put through 4
bill changing the banking and cur
rency system.
When Cannon, Aldrich, Bailey,
Penrose, Crane, Payne and other
leaders who were regarded as friends
of special privilege, used the caucus
to further their plans, Champ
Clark was one of the democrats who
denounced it in scathing terms. In
an address few years ago he de-
clared that the secret caucus used to
jam through legislation was the in
strument of the devil and that it
must be suppressed if the people are
to rule. How different he looks at
it now when the democrats are the

The republican party need not
concern itself about the get-together
program of anybody if it will only
do the right things. But it must
make sweeping changes in methods
and procedures OF party manage
ment and control. Among the
things that must be done is a re-
arrangement of the basis of repre-.
sentation. 1t cannot regain the sup
port it lost last year unless it re-
sorts to the square deal in appor-
tioning delegates. There is no de-
Tense of a plan that gives one re-
publican in Georgia as much power
in the councils of the party as ten
republicans in Iowa can WELD
Members Of the national committee
must also be chosen by primary and
they must take their places immed-
lately upon the assembling of the
national convention that is to NOM
mate the president. The delegates
must be selected at primaries and
the names of the candidates for
president must go upon the ticket
with the delegates and the presiden-
tial candidate who gets the larger
number of votes in any state or dis
trict must get the support of the
delegates from that state or dis
trict. With these changes the party
machinery will be in the hands of
men chosen by the rank and file of
the party and will therefore be obe-
dent to the wishes of the rank and
file. With these new departures in

The Washington correspondents
are now nominating Theodore Roose-
welt for president on the republican
ticket and LaFollette on the progress
sive ticket. Possibly the rank and
file of the parties will have some
thing to say upon the subject along
in 1916.

Boss Barnes, of course, favors
holding all the power in the hands
of the bosses he can, but he surrend-
ers CALAMITY when defeated. Near
ly everything went against the New
York boss in the recent republican
convention in the Empire state, but
he was able to save one principle
from the wreck. He had power re-
served to commit the delegates to
the national convention in favor of
retaining representation by congress
sional districts. That plan will en-
able the south, if successful, to re-
tain much of it's unfair advantage in
the councils of the party and of
course that is one reason Barnes
wants it. The bosses are generally
able to control the south and they
want the south to have as many del
egates as possible With the district
the unit each district would be en-
titled to at least one delegate. That
would give Georgia, for instance,
eleven delegates, when, if based up
on the vote, she wouldn't be en-
titled to more than one or two.

Judge McHenry of Des Moines has
decided, so the report goes, that
Migrants and other offenders shall
go to Jail instead Of being ordered
out of town. When such cattle are
sent on their way rejoicing or other
wise they become a menace to the
next town, and so on down the en-
tire line. 1t would be a good idea
for the legislature to take this mat
ter up and prohibit such practices
on the part of officers. If person
is an undesirable citizen of one
town the officers of that town have
no moral right to foist him upon
another town where he is a more
dangerous character than where
known. The police soon become ia
miliar with the crooks who live in a
city and they can watch them, but
when the crooks are sent to new
fields they can commit a number Of
overt acts before being found out.
1t is a very bad practice to make the
undesirables move on from town to
town and it ought to be stopped.
The McHenry idea is a good one.

Carlos Madero, brother of the
murdered president of Mexico, is
now a student at Ames college. He
Is eighteen years of age and is very
anxious to get a good education. For
some time he has been attending a
military academy in New York, but
concluded that the Iowa Agricultur-
al college furnished better opportun-
tiles. Young Madero has no hest
fancy in saying that President Huer-
ia murdered his brother and declares
that the murderer can never be
elected president. The fact that the
young man comes to Iowa for his
education is proof that he has good
Judgment and good sense. That is
half the battle.
