MORE "srAIEMEhIs."

Attorney General Coson, whose name
has been coupled with the forthcoming
race for nomination as the republican
candidate for governor, has also mace
a. statement in which he fails to see
how controversy can arise over tariff
in a republican primary as the repub-
licans are we'll agreed on the protec-
tive principle and fairly well upon
system of operation. He can not see
how the tariff can become leading
issue in the gubernatorial campaign.
Mr.. Cosson's reasoning Is entirely cor
rect. If tariff is to be an issue be-
tween the candidates it must be
dragged in by the neck and will attract
no particular attention from the voters
at that.
So Cosson desires to know what the
lieutenant governor means by his ref
erence to commission government. He
wants to know whether he had in
mind:
The adjustment Of the industrial
commissioner and the repea: of the
workmen's compensation law, or If he
meant to disapprove the splendid work
done by the labor commissioner IN the
interest Of the employees and wage
| workers of the state, or If he meant to
say that the manufacturers and jobbers
could again flood thes tate with adul-
terated foods, or that boards of health
should be abolished, or the fire mar
shaTs office.
| For a statement which cautiously
refrained from saying anything direct
ly Hardings statement said much. II
is not at all likely that the lieutenant
governor would assault any OF these
commissions for they are issues which
would cut his own throat.
| What issues then remain? First the
wet and dry issue, which however we
may attempt to avoid and smother is
and will be a leading issue in Iowa un'
til liquor dealing interests are thor
oughly banished from the state. Tina
is the one issue about which an i'm
mediate following is standing ready
made. That it will be an Issue is a!
certain as that we shall have a pri.
mary. It is up for settlement and i!
to be settled. The question has gone
beyond Iaw-the law is in existence
and will be in force within less thar
eight months. It is now a question o.
enforcement. That will be one grea
issue. Mr.. Harding's statement as t.
t.fooIisn laws" which he considers i'm
nossible of enforcement may be fairly
considered as aimed at sumptuary leg
iis,ation and enforcement Of such legis
lation.
It Is not a program that forecast
success. To gather about thu standar'
of pro liquor interests all the dis
gruntled elements ana win nomina
ton in a field Of several candidate
would not mean success at the polls b.
any means. The real issues that vii
be I'D would In such case overrid
narty lines. There would be les
, chance for the election OF an low
candidate for governor thus nominate
, than there was for the election OF MI
Taft in the late unpleasant campaign
A half dozen candidates in the pri
, lmary field might and probably woul
> afford such a candidate a nomination
! Such a field would leave the issu
without hnality Of settlement. 1t Is
. condition Of which the republica
party and candidates who desire part
success should take notice.

SITTING COMMITTEE.

The present legislature In Iowa IS
now talking Of sitting committee
to help that body pass legislation which
the legislators dare not vote for openly
and some, too, which they desire killed
and upon which they also do not care
to go on record as having supported.
The sitting committee is responsible
for more vicious legislation and more
good measures being killed than any
other device which a legislative body
ever tolerated, The sitting committee
is the lobbyists delight. The legisla-
ture should remain in session until 1t
finishes it's job. Legislators are draw
ing good salaries and they should en-
deavor to earn their pay, or at least
make pretense of doing so.

TOO LAZY TO LIVE.
Emmetsburg Reporter. !

Editor ]. w. Hinchon, Of Algona, is
reported better than he was a few
weeks ago. His blood pressure has
been reduced and the physicians in
form him that there is no indications
of the hardening Of the veins. They
have prescribed certain foods and placed
him on diet and he is commanded to
take more exercise Two thirds of the
office workers in this country cut ten
years from their lives from lack OF exer-
else. We mean outdoor exercise. A
man in an office will want his resi-
dence as close to his office as he pos
sibly can get it and then get out OF
bed eat breakfast and go to work
without taking full deep breath OF
outdoor air. Every man who does Of
flee work should walk at least four
miles every day. He should get up In
the morning and take a walk of
couple of miles providing he has no
chores to do. It will give him an APP
petite and place his system in proper
condition to digest his food. Most men.
after they are so years of age, are too
lazy to live and SO they die.

CHEAPER BOOKS FOR
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

As will he seen, the State Board Of
Education has completed The list for
books which will be used i'll the public
schools of the Old Dominion during
the next four years. But few changes
have been made as compared with
lists of former years, and books
heretofore used will be materially
cheaper.
The cost of books has often proven
large; item in household expenses
of the patcrfamilas whose daily
stipend is moderate, and whilo all
desire their children to keep up with
other pupils. the cost Of cquppinG
children for the public schools has
at times caused many parents to de-
prive themselves of other things IN
order to procure the books required
for public tuition. We have never
seen our way clear to affirm the
opinion Of some, that books should dc
furnished gratuously by the State
to all applicants for permits to enter
the public schools, but we have al
ways believed their cost could bc
materially reduced, and this the
board has accomplished.
I. h.,I
what is known as the multiple" list
has been cut. 1t has ever been the
conviction of many who rejoice IN

Of his life writing commentary on
