and it knows that he has fully and
fairly represented his constituency
in both houses of the legislature in
temperance legislation. When
member of the house over twenty
years ago he was leader for the
cause of prohibition and in the SEN
ate three years ago last winter sup
ported the proposition to re-submit
the prohibitory amendment to vote
of the people, as being urged at that
time by the anti-saloon league. He
was leader in the senate in favor
of the five mile limit law and did
as much as any man in Iowa to put
| that law upon the statute books.
Yet in the face of this record, Rev.
Wright says in substance that Sena-
! tor Chase is unworthy of the sup
port of temperance voters.
And the leagues unjust attack
upon Judge Lee is as indefensible as
it's criticism of Senator Chase. The
classification Of Judge Lee as wet by
the league is due to the statements
of some Fort Dodge leaguers who
were disappointed over some court
ruling made by the Judge. They as
sumed that because he did not de-
eide against the saloon in some pc
tition of consent contest that he was
saloon candidate for governor, yet
the judge rendered a decision that
closed every saloon in Webster coun-
ty outside of Fort Dodge, and there
were quite number of them. The
people of his home town who know
him best testified to his high char
acter and standing and denounced
the statements of the anti-saloon
league that he was a wet candidate
or that his sympathies were with
the liquor interests, but the league
continued to circulate the statement
that the Judge was wet candidate.
The fact that the saloons have
steadily decreased in Iowa and are
steadily decreasing is not due wholly
to the work of the anti-saloon
league. Without the assistance of
such legislators as Senator Chase
and such judges as Judge Lee far
less would have been accomplished.
The Freeman-Tribune is in hearty
accord with the things the league
desires to accomplish, with the pos
sible exception of the repeal of the
mulct law at this time, but in its
opinion the league lays itself open
to just criticism when it adopts the
methods herein complained of.

Announcement by the Secretary
of State that he will spend his va
cation delivering Chautauqua lect-
ures has opened up new abuse of
him.
Enemies of the Administration in
tent upon driving Mr.. Bryan from
the cabinet who can find no other

poorly armed.-Dubuque Telegraph
Herald.
It makes much difference, to DEM
ocratic newspapers, what the politi-
cal complexion of Chautauqua ora
tors may be. When LaFollette, Dol
liver, Cummins, Lands and other
republicans were drawing cards at
Chautauquas such papers as the
Telegraph-Herald thought they
should be devoting their entire time
to the duties of their office, but
when a democratic secretary of state
goes galivanting over the country ii
is quite another thing. This brief
season of national authority of the
democratic party is revealing to
what extent democratic NEWSPAPERS
and oracles have been playing the
demagogue in the past. What was
a crime in a republican official a

Recently the Sioux City CONNER

those interested to go to Sioux City

where it proved unsatisfactory. II

Roosevelt has INDUCED in some
Just criticisms of the democratic ad.
ministration. Now if he wants to
help correct the things of which he
complains let him get back into the
republican party, put his shoulder
to the wheel and help elect repub-
lican president and a republican con-
gress. With the progressives back
in the party to which they properly
belong democratic defeat will be as
sured. The getting back is now
good.

The Freeman-Tribune hes

The Freeman-Tribune heard q
democrat praising Senator Chase the
other day for voting for Woodrow
Wilson, but about an hour later the
same democrat was cussing E. T.
Meredith for bearing witness in his
paper to the good work of Senators
Cummins and Kenyon. Chase is a
patriot for voting for democrat,
but democrat is a fool and knave
for even speaking good word for
republicans. Republicans of Hamil-
ton county will do well to consider
the estimate democrats put upon a
democrat who dares to commend a
republican officer holder.

for warlike ACKNOWLEDGMENT. In the
second place, we sympathize heart
lily with the demand for agrarian
reform in Mexico, which means the
dividing up of the land among the
poems. A man and his wife and
children upon sixty acres of land is
the most wholesome basis of civil
cation, and we hope Mexico will
soon achieve it. But we believe that
country will achieve it sooner and
keep it longer, if it comes peaceably
through orderly processes of law,
than through such a creature and
such an uprising as Villas. And we
believe most emphatically that this
division of the land must be brought
about by Mexico itself. 1t cannot be
done and should not be attempted
by the United States. A division OF
the land that is made by the sword
will have to be supported by the
sword. The United States can nc
more confer this reform on Mexico
than it can confer self-government
upon it.
One of the most intelligent and
accurate thinking men in the Unit
ed States is Mr.. Herbert Quick, edi-
tor of Farm and Fireside." He
vigorously dissents from our criti'
cism of Wilson's Mexican policy. He
says:
The thing to consider in that con-
nection is: What would have hap
pened in Mexico if Wilson had rec.
ognized Huerta?
Mr.. Quick thinks the revolution
would have come anyhow. Maybe
But stick a pin right there. The
point to remember is this: What
ever would have happened would
not have been Wilson's responsible
ity, nor ours. Right here is the
cause of many mistakes in the dis
cussion of Wilson and Mexico. ere
fusal to recognize Huerta" is form
of words which sounds like a mega
tive act. 1t sounds like merely
keeping hands off. In reality it is an
affirmative act. To borrow an ex-
pressive phrase from the contempor-
ary classics, it is "butting in" Get
this firmly in your mind and you
will have cleared the ground for
correct thinking about Wilson and
Mexico. To recognize new gov
eminent in a foreign country is the
usual thing, practically the univer-
sal thing. To refuse to recognize
requires explanation and justifica-
tion-and entails responsibility
That responsibility is just now COM
ing home to Wilson, and he must
stand up to it. To recognize, in the
normal way, would have been non
interference. To refuse to recognize,
as Wilson did, Is interference-a
sort of interference whose logical
end is intervention. Just here is
the occasion of most of Wilson's
troubles-he wants to sidestep the
logical result of his own act; dis
liking Intervention above all things,
he took in the beginning the one
step whose logical end was inter-
vention. That is Wilson's personal
tragedy. It sounded fine when he
did it, and we all praised him for
his lofty words of distaste for gov.
eminent founded on assassination.
Now that unpleasant consequences
have come, he must accept them as
we'll as he did the praise. 1t is en-
tirely fair to insist that he ought to
have considered the consequences.

Had Judge Quarton remained IN
the republican party he would now
be the republican nominee for con-
gress from this district and would
have an easy victory in November.
But having chose the progressive
party route, against the advice OF
many of his best friends, he has the
progressive nomination but doesn't
stand a shadow of a chance of win
ming the election.

Automobile drivers know the
value of dragging roads and they
pay a good tax for road improve
ment, hence they have right to
complain when those charged with
the duty of dragging neglect the
work. About the toughest roads in
the county is reported by driver
who was recently in Kamrar. He
says the road leading out of that
burg to the northeast for two or
three miles is simply abominable.

BUT ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDEST.
For the information of a newspa-
per neighbor down the street, The
Journal will acre repeat what it has
several times before said. This pa
per is not in the habit of taking out
crouch on persons with whom we
disagree. Like wise we frequently
criticise public men without any
thought of starting campaign for
their defeat. 1t would be unneces-
sary to make an explanation OF this
sort to most people, but it is here
set down for the especial benefit of
two or three humans living here
abouts who make a specially of mis-

When w. J. Bryan bounced that
brick off the head of Champ Clark
in the Baltimore convention he
made haste to assure Mr.. Clark that
it was thrown with the best of in
tentions, but to this day the scar
is visible and Mr.. Clark is not yet
able to see the joke.
And even now Louis Murphy OF
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. is
applying balm to the sore spots in
flicted upon the democracy OF E. I.
Meredith and is loud in praise OF
the democracy and character OF the
defeated senatorial candidate. Mr..
Meredith, however, may have some
doubts about the sincerity OF Mr..
Murphy now and Supervisor john
son may be pardoned if he fails to
accept the Journals explanation
that it had no desire to bring about
his defeat.

ports state just what roads have

the name of the man dragging them.

Clifford Pinchot, progressive candi-

Mr.. Pinchot we'll says that ga situa-

that must be terminated before it
can command general or popular
support" He means such men as
Perkins must be eliminated from
leadership. 1t is idle for the progress
sives to point the finger of scorn at
Penrose, Foraker and Cannon while
permitting Bill Flynn. Medill Nc
Cormick and Geo. w. Perkins to oc-
cupy stations of the highest influence

thing for the progressives to do is to
get back into the republican party
and fight for the principles in which
they believe. They can accomplish
something by that course, while the
maintenance Of the third party
means only democratic success, pro-
vided the third party remains
strong enough to prevent republican
victories.

Mexico City, May ll.-Foreign Min
lister Ruiz has telegraphed the South
American mediators in Washington
that several United States torpedo
boats with transport and tender
have appeared off the island of Lobos,
on the east coast Of Mexico, between
Vera Cruz and Tampico, landed a
party on the island and arrested the
lighthouse tenders, who were released
after they had turned over the instru-
ments and apparatus for operating the
lighthouse
The mediators were asked to make
representations to the United States
government in connection with the
armistice.
Lobos island is near the main route
of steamers plying between. Vera Cruz
and Tampico and has powerful light
t. guide shipping, one of the most i'm
pcrtant along the east coast. The
island is low and sandy with nothing
on it but the lighthouse equipment.

considerable strategic Importance.
