seriously considered the kind OF
administrative work he has done
and the kind OF legislative work
he has induced congress to do!
Did anybody ever hear OF an
American president who, in SO
short a time, has done so much
to elicit the confidence, the adj

many of his countrymen!
What he is to his country and
what his country is to him are
evidenced in the kind of legis-
lation he has brought forward.
His currency law has the I'M

so excellent in its provisions
that it received not only the sup
port of the Democrats in con-
gress, but of many Republicans
and Progressives. 1t SOLVED a
problem that no other statesman
dared try to solve, though con-
gress and committees of con-
greses, and leaders and group
of leaders, dallied with it and
lodged If for a generation,
His tariff superseded the
most Infamous tariff in history.
1t received the congressional
support not only of the Demo
cratic members, but of La Fol
lette and many other progress
sive Republicans. 1t was
fought at the time, and is fought
only now, by standpatters,
cheap politicians and unfair
newspapers for political purpo-
ses.
The vote OF such a statesman
as La Toilette for the present
tariff shows the country what
kid of men it's critics are.

IT IS A MATTER FOR STATE
AND PRIVATE ENTERPRISE

The persistence with which
Southern congressman are working
to get Uncle Sam to go into bust
ness as a cotton broker for the ben
eft of the growers is worthy of all
admiration considered purely as
persistence, but it is almost certain
to come to nothing. 1t is a novel
idea of the function of the United
States government that it must lend
man money on personal security
when he gets hard up because he
can't sell his produce at a profit.
If the policy is good for cotton,
1t is good for wheat, corn, potatoes,
cucumbers, watermelons, phos-
pilates, apples, peaches and oranges;
and to refuse the aid of the ma
tional treasury to the growers of
these latter when Improbable
prices prevail, while extending it to
the cotton growers, would be an in
vidious discrimination which the
rest of the country would resent.
Everybody is sorry for the farmers
unable to market their cotton at a
profit, but such misfortunes have
happened before without the gov
eminent being called on to make
the loss good, and Will probably
nf tv,,n ~
er. 1t would bankrupt the richest
government in the world to go into
this kind of business as a rule, di-
vert 1t from its true functions, and
IL kept up it would educate all the
producing classes to the idea that
they could look confidently to the
national treasury to help them out
Of the hole every time they got
in it.
There is plenty of wealth in the
South to relieve the cotton growers
on a purely business basis without
adventuring on discarded Populistic
theories of government, and the
cotton States themselves could with
much more propriety issue the
bonds to finance the cotton crop.
President Wilson and Secretary Nc
Adoo are both unfavorahle to the
plan to have the government take
over the cotton crop in exchange
for bonds and it seems highly i'm
probable that any such measure
will become law.
The true and doubtless the only
way to help the cotton growers in
their emergency is suggested in the
following dispatch from New York
under date of yesterday:
The raising of $4,000. 900
fund by bankers and Southern cot
ton planters to finance the country's
cotton crop, virtually is assured, ac-
cording to statements given out to-
night, and the federal reserve board
at Washington will be asked to con-
troll the fund and superintend its
loaning. Bankers and representa-
tives of cotton planters agreed, it is
stated, to furnish s50,0O0,0O0 If the
rest of the country would supply
OO,OO0,000 or more under condi-
lions agreed to at the conference

Increase In Sales Of keokuk Made
Cigars Purpose of Plan Pro-
posed by the Local
Union.
PLAN NOT A NEW ONE
Was Been Worked Successfully In
Other citIes-LoeaI organiza-
lions Offer Their
Support.

To increase the sale Of Keokuh
union made cigars in this city. mem
hers of the cigar makers union. re-
tailers, wholesalers, and the Indus
trial association are planning an ad-
vertising campaign which will term
fnate in a booster day" for locally
manufactured cigars. 1t Is expected
that definite arrangements for push
ing this plan will be made Friday
when representatives Of various or
ganizations interested expect to hold
q joint meeting.
The plan to be used is not a new
one. It has been worked with cue
cess in number of cities. 1t was re-
Gently tried in Decatur where the
sales of Decatur made cigars were
boosted to 10000 in one day while
the normal daily output in that city
is but 10000. The sale Of 10000 ci-
xars there in one day was the high
water mark reached a>Hsr an adver-
Using campaign ended by one big
booster day when all retailers dis
played only cigars made in Decatur.
The assistance OF the press and the
commercial association were sald 10
be largely instrumental in the sue
cess of the plan at Decatur.
It would seem that keokuk cigar
makers have q real grievance when
they say the sale of locally manufac-
tured cigars is far below what 1t
should be. The industry here en-
p1oys about fifty men in the manu-
facture Of cigars. In such places as
Burlington and Ottumwa as many as
two hundred union cigar makers are
kept busy. This Is claimed to be due
to the fact that larger percentage OF
the people in these two cities pur-
chase the homemade product.
At a committee meeting Of the local
union Thursday evening the question
of trying the plan used In Decatur
and elsewhere will be decided upon.
Already the wholesalers have prom
ised their support while some atten-
ton to the matter has been given by
the Retail league. The Industrial
association is anxious to be OF any
possible assistance to the union and
1t is believed that the retail stores
handling cigars will also be glad to
cooperate in the plan.
