II Root IL Nominated,

Notwithstanding Mr.. Roots excep-
tlonal qualifications for the work OF
the presidential office, his popularity
as candidate would suffer very much
from the antagonism provoked by his
career There would be aroused
against him all the bitter personal.
sectional and class opposition which
remain left over from the political
controversies of the Taft administra-
tion. The republican voters Of the
western states are not interested in
military preparedness. foreign policy
and administrative reorganization.
They are still very much interested in
preventing any man from becoming
president whose profession Or business
career has been closely associated
with eastern corporations. If Mr. Root
were nominated. this powerful element
in American public opinion would sup
port Mr.. Wilson or 1t would run an
Independent candidate. No matter
which course is adopted, NJ. "!!son
would be reelected - assuming, Of
course, that he continued to hold his
present following in and outside the
party Thus Mr. Roots qualifications
for the work of being president are
nullifed by his unavailability as can
didate. The net impression which his
career has left on public opinion thru
out large part of the country il
fatal to his prospects. He would flg-
ure in the mind of the west and the
middle west as a reactionary candi-
date, and as a matter Of fact his sup
porters would be found almost entire
iy among the followers of Mr.. Taft in
1912. All the professional opponents
of corporate interests would pounce
upon him and begin 4 campaign OF
personal abuse which would be remi-
niscent Of the Hearst campaign
against Mckinley and Hanna. Mr.
Root knows all this better than any
one else The knowledge should per-
suade him not to sanction the submits
sion Of his name to the voters Of his
party His own past would prevent
his real qualifications as candidate
from getting a fair hearing-The New
Republic.

AUTOS AND $4,000 INCOMES.

Sot0S NM SrsOSO
An eastern newspaper jumps to the
conclusion that Iowa is dodging income
taxes because every tenth Iowa fam
lily rides in an automobile. II says an
auto means $4,000 income and that
the income tax returns and the auto
mobile statistics OF Iowa indicate
colored person in the woodpile.
That will bring smile in Iowa, not
because a few Iowans might duck on
their income returns, for certain
Iowans have been caught lodging
taxes but because of The assumption
that a $500 income always goes with
an automobile in Iowa.
Why bless their eastern hearts and
stupid heads, ii is within the possibili-
ties that one-haif the autos in use IN
this state are owned by persons who
haven't any such income. There are lit
tie runabouts hiking from town TO town
whose owners use them instead Of
railway transportation to call on their

autos owned by men who live OH less
than $4,000 a year income and live
pretty well at that Why, man alive.

Iowa and il is to be recalled that En-

Helping IL. Beef Supply.

The average citizen takes but a mild
interest in bulletin on the cattle tick.
But the one prepared by the committee
on statistics and standards Of the
chamber Of commerce Of the United
States should be interesting to every
meat easer The federal bureau Of AMI
NAL industry says that the future beef
supply in this country must come from
the south. That section can produce
beef more ehesply than any other be-
cause land IS cheap. grazing il good,
the pasture season is long, feed can be
produced at minimum price and
shelter during the short winters is in
expensive. The one thing that has stood
in the way has been the prevalence
Of the cattle tick. which depletes the
vitality OF cattle and reduces their
weight and also communicates Texas
fever. The average weight Of southern
cattle liz about half that Of cattle in the
non-infectsA districts. 1t is impossible
to stock tho, fever district with pure
bred cattle. since they do not have
even the partial immunity Of native
cattle. The south loses SAC, 10000 a
year because OF the ravases OF the
fever tick. But this does not begin
to express the real loss, when what
could he accomplished with more and
better cattle is considered.
