IAE1,S TRUTHS.

Delivering an address in honor OF
Foundation Day at Bloomington, Ind.
ex-President Taft made the following
statement with reference to the gen
eral primary election law which this
paper heartily endorses:
I say without hesitation that
the selection of candidates at
general primary has not tended to
the elimination of corporation or
political machine rule and the Sc
lection Of better reports of par
ty. Nor is 1t true that the gem
eral primary is any less subject
to the control of machine and
the boss and a political organ
ization than convention
The primary is more law Of the
rich than the poor man. In fact the
man with little financial support can
not get very far in a primary race as
against the candidate who has unlim
tied means.

MANN WHITE SLAVE LAW.

Probably the Mann white slave law
was not enacted to catch the rich lib
Grimes who associate with women OF
loose morals and take them on trips
through the country. No doubt the law
has been a weapon in the hands of
blackmailers. as low and despicable
class OF criminals as exists. No
doubt the punishment OF crimes
against chastity is the duty of the
state and not Of the federal govern
ment. In spite Of all this. however,
We cannot sympathize with the de-
mand for radical changes in the law
passed upon these objections, says
the Creston Advertiser. There is a
strong probability that in no single
case have the blackmailers acted
against any man of blameless life;
their victims have been men who
were guilty of immortality and while
1t Is not the duty of the federal gov
eminent to punish them there is little
reason to sympathize with them. The
Mann law should stand because # has
| thrown the fear OF the law into men
Who made practice of Turing girls

Have been cheerfully paid, without

Though they frame a face, just as

Like the light of the eye, has grown

Spent in shielding the loved ones

Spent unsparing, by her, call

With the lauor of days that began

STATE BANK AND RESERVE ACT.

STATE BANK AND RESERVE Az .
The Burlington Hawk-Eye is OF the
opinion that 1t IS desirable that the
legislatures of Iowa and Illinois enact
laws permitting state and savings
banks to take advantage of the feder-
al reserve banking act. 1t is the
policy Of the national government to
encourage the step and it is to the
interest Of the general government
that it be done in order to make a
complete banking system throughout
the United States. Concerning this
proposition the Iowa Banking News
of January 16 says:
This is another piece of legis-
1ation so apparently necessary
that there is little chance it will
be overlooked. This will prob
ably be in the nature of amend
ment to the present laws which
hold that saving banks are unau-
thorized in investing their funds
in other banks or corporations.
State and sayings banks point
out that national banking acts
have been giving banks more lib
critics each year while the state
banks have been bound by the
same old ties.

Impression that he was one OF the

He possessed a keen mind, had no use
for quibbling and insisted upon essen
