Senator Kenyon's resolution re.

Senator Kenyon's resolution re-
quiring the lobbyist to register is a
good one. The lobbyist is all right
in his place, but as he is dealing
with public questions it is entirely
proper that he should do so openly
and above board. The big interests
have a right to be heard. That is
conceded, but they should not be
heard in secret. Publicity in all
public matters, national, state
county, city and school district is
most desirable.
Washington dispatches say that
Senators Penrose of Pennsylvania
and Smoot of Utah are making a
tariff fight for the republicans
There must be some measures in the
new tariff bill which are particular
ly in the in terest of the people, 9th.
erwise these schedules would not
draw fire from such champions OF
special privilege as Penrose and
Smoot. Tariff fights for the repub-
licans' by such senators as these
are among the things which have
contributed largely to the defeat OF
the republican party.
Lee Metcalf, associate editor OF
Bryan's Commoner, has been ap-
pointed civil governor of Panama
with salary attachment of $4,000
per year, besides a large allowance
for expenses. Mr.. Metcalf is one OF
the common people and it will be a
problem to him to know what to dc
with $4,000 per year, but probably
his noted chief can give him some
valuable advice along the line OF
how to get the most out of it. In
the meantime, with Mr.. Bryan in
Washington and Mr.. Metcalf in Pan.
anna, what is to become of the Com
moner? Surely the common people
are not to be neglected nor showed
aside with inferior service.
Secretary Bryan must have
found much satisfaction in signing
his name to the announcement Of
the amendment to the constitution
providing for the direct election Of
United States senators. Such mer
as Secretary Bryan, Senator Cum
minsrsenator LaFollette and Other
progressive leaders have worked fol
such a consumation many years
Various party platforms have favor
ed the reform a long time, bu
somehow the United States senate
until recently was always able te
defeat it. With direct elections
there cannot be any more Lorimer
scandals and fewer seats will be
purchased in the upper house.
A Waterloo man who was in the
city a few days ago was complain.
ing about the difficulty to raise
money for certain things in his town
since the saloons closed. He said
they started out few days ago tc
raise $1,000 to get certain con
vention there that would bring
many people to town, but had tt
abandon it because the money could
not be secured. He declared that the
saloon men always contributed lib
orally to every movement that prom
ised to bring people to the city
Whatever may be said Of the men
who run the thirst parlors 1t must
be. admitted that they are very lib.
eral when it comes to contributing
towards something that promises to
increase their business.

Professor William Howard Taft Of
Yale university will not consent TO
an interview on the Marquette YER

Prof. Taft knows the country
doesn't care a cent for his opinion
on anything and by keeping still he
certainly demonstrates good judg-

The Marion Register takes the
right view when it says the legisla-
ture had no authority to change the
name of Memorial Day to Decoration
Day. Legislatures had nothing to do
with naming Memorial Day and the
soldiers will keep on calling it by
its right name as long as they want
to. Moreover, Memorial Day is
more appropriate. People can OBJ
serve memorial day who can do no
decorating.

Congressman Frank Woods is talk
ed of as chairman of the national re-
publican congressional committee,
because che can please both fac
tons" 1t certainly shows a high
order of talent when man can
.please both factions. Capital.
Frank gave us the finest exhibi-
ton of fence straddling last fall that
has been pulled off in Iowa since the
organization of political parties and
the fact that he is satisfactory to
both sides of the fence proves that
he succeeded in making both sides
believe he got off on the right side.
When asked whether he was for
Roosevelt or Taft, he sidestepped
neatly and said that as he was a
member of the republican national
congressional committee it would be
embarrassing to the committee to
have him state his position. Not an
other man in the state could assume
that attitude and get away with a
seat in congress.
According to advices from Wash
ington, Hon. Frank P. Woods of this
district is very apt to be made
chairman of the republican congress
sional committee. Mr.. Woods has
been a member of the committee for
some time and has taken the posi-
tion that when a republican is NOM
mated for congress it is the duty
of the committee to support him. In
this Mr.. Woods is right. All COM
mittees of that nature ought to ne
loyal to the party and if any men,
Der thereof cannot conscientiously
support the nominee he ought to re-
sign. AS Mr.. Woods is a progressive
republican he is satisfactory to the
progressive wing of the party and
as he supported Taft last fall he is
acceptable to standpatters. More
over, Mr.. Woods is good organizer
and as an astute politician has few
superiors. The Freeman-Tribune
would like to see him made chair
man of the committee.
Colonel Roosevelt's vindication
may satisfy him, but it has failed to
make a hit with either the distillers
or the preachers.-Des Moines Trib-
une.
The colonel was not trying to
make hit with anybody. He be-
came exasperated with the repeated
reiteration of an absolutely false
charge and sought to have the truth
established. His evidence and the
evidence of such men as Lyman ABB
bolt, James R. Garfield, General
Wood, Geo. B. Cortelyou, DR.. Shaw.
VIM. Loeb and others of equal note
was straightforward and fully prov
ed the falsity of the accusation.
Moreover, the editor who made the
charge admitted he had no author
ity except hearsay and that he was
unable to find one man of repute
in the entire United States who
would swear that Roosevelt was ev-
er drunk. The evidence adduced at
the trial and the admission of the
defendant will convince all honest
and unprecedented minds that the
charge was and is false.

II want the men to wear their heavi-

The board of supervisors of Polk
county voted to increase farm land
values in that county by more than
$2,5oO,00O. The assessors had re-
turned aggregate values of $20,233,-

$22,S33,653. This is more than a
ten per cent raise and may be an
indication of what the state excel
tive council will do.
