THE rRIBuNE's TIME OF STRESS.

of readers of the Chicago Tribune who
have come to look upon 1t as fearless
and vigorous champion OF honesty,
righteousness, decency and the many
interests that stand for the welfare and
integrity of the individual, the home
and the state, to note its abiectly weak
aand compromising defense Of the sa-
loon interests of the city Of Chicago
and of course, indirectly Of the brew
ing interests of the state of Illinois,

The above is the average Iowa view,
NEWSPAPERS of influence and wide Cir
culation which defend the liquor and
saloon interests will run against such
left handed advertising as this pretty
regularly and particularly in the So
called Country papers 1t is the later
Iowa viewpoints, one Of the evidences
of the advanced position Iowa holds
over nelghboring states.
Let US be charitable as we may in
Justice to our conviction and in consid-
era ton of our advanced position in
Iowa The Tribune is undergoing the
evolutionary process from which the
Iowa press is emergent. Certain pub
fishers and editors who constituted the
skirmish lines and advance guard Of
opposition to the saloon in Iowa are
still able to recall that the line was
thin in those days and no solid array
of reserves stood behind them. And Of
later years the newspapers of cities in
titions have not been especially notice.
able from their firm stand and agrees
i've support of opposition. Most OF
them have stood aside and "let 'em
fight" Some Of them have thrown
such influence as they dared to the Pc
tition. The county papers have not had
to face such situations as have the
dailies. AS the situation exists today
to find an Iowa daily supporting the
saloon and the saloon interests is a
rare thing, even in cities where the
saloon is legitimized. Enforcement of
the prohibitory law is coun7eled and
promised from cities which def1ed the
statutes some few years ago.
The Tribune and other metropoli-
tan newspapers which listen heedfully
to the counting room have an expert
ence to undergo. They have to dis
cover that the mail route has brought
a vast support to the element which
demands that its favorite newspaper
stand for progress in moral matters as
in politics. In fact the convention
which the Tribune followed from the
regular convention Of its party last
presidential year wrote into it's plat
form a new element In platform and
politics-human welfare as problem
OF politics The fact is that the great
appeal OF the platform, outside Of the
personality OF its candidate, was tha:
human element. At that 1t was only a
public expression Of what men are
thinking and saying and agreeing upon
privately. The welfare movement can
not be considered without considera-

ton Of the saloon and liquor question.
The Tribune may shy around it for
a time like a wild horse at haystack,
but it will, IL 1t is to retain its premier
place in journalistic leadership, be
feeding there soon.
The newspaper as the individual
who stands for the best of it's convic-

any class or faction, will not only have
the satisfaction of it's own sincerity
but will succeed. In the aggregate the
public is right. If it isn't right it gets

Topics Of the Times

Mr. Bryan is an illustra ton of how
hangs on
The Marsh candidacy seems to strike
the democratic press like a keynote.
The same objection in a modified form,
of course, will arise against him in the
state that was urged so strongly and
with such effect against Mr.. Hamilton.
However. it is rot in evidence that
Mr. Marsh is renting property for sa-
loon purposes. Marsh would make the
strongest candidate the democrats
could put up outside of John Clarkson.
If Clarkson were nominated he might
prove actually dangerous.
Some Of the hotels are promising
poor service if the anti-tipping law is
enforced. If the hotels desire to create
universal demand for it's enforcement
as we'll as for new hotel proprietors
that's the way to go about 1t.

AN APPETITE IN HSTIIERvI1LE.
TCsraettinger Times

Several Baskerville people are now
living on a diet of pumpkin seeds, as
result of quack doctors visit to
that city. He told them that to be
happy, successful, prosperous. etc., one
must have a good appetite-then all
things would adjust themselves ac-
cordingly. He also sold, with this
valuable advice, some white capsuls,
which II taken would produce the de-
sired appetite. One victim who thought
he would investigate the capsul, re-
moved the shell and found that each
one contained very small, but perfect
specimen of the tape worm. 1t is OF
course easy to see that by the time one
took dozen or two Of the capsuls, the
appetite would be fairly established.
Also with the appetite the maturity OF
the worms would he assured. If by
any chance the drug stores OF Esther
vile run out Of pumpkin seeds, we be-
lieve our local druggist would send up
his supply, as we are certain that the
doctor has not visited our city.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

In the letter to Editor Payne, as

take the ground that national issues
should govern in the state campaign
and that his qualifications as a re

questions that might be raised as to
his eligibility" says the Sioux City
Tribune. 1T seems fairly certain, how"
ever,' to the Tribune, that the liquor
issue will be up to some extent in
next years primary contest and that all
candidates. in the field must take a
stand on that question, no matter how
anxious they may be to avoid 1t"
