Once 4 Republican
 New 4 Democrat.

Judge L. c. Smith burned his bridges behind him in i9a0 when 4e wrote the following letter 3 H. L. Remmel, then candidate or governor against Jeff Davis. md first lord in waiting to PoWei. Clayton, Republican boss of Arkan- 52s. He offered to sell his polit- I5al prospects for even less than . ness of pot ticker.
 Arkansas does net approve of 3 nan who sis ID and out of ore 3afty until he wears the hole slicF. Democracy will pass upon Judge smiths dsflsetioa in the primary March 29.
 Here is Judge Smiths letter:
 Dewitt, Ark, Aug. 24. 1900. Hon. H. L. Remmel,
 Little Rock. Ark.
 Dear Sir:
 T understand that Jeff Davis has offered a reward of, $25 f you gan show him a letter from Q Dem oerat that expects to vote for you on the 5fd day of September next for governor Take him up, ard read this letter from your tfst stump if it be true. The under signed is a life 1oag Democrat and =xpeots to cast his vote for H. L. Remmet on the 5rd day of Septem- per next. and if he pays the reward do a Christian act give 1t to the churches at your first disposal. will not enter into details why am opposed to Jeffis. but this will give him another opportunity to jump onto another Democrat ir order to be elected governor.
 CUTS fer success.
 L. c. SMITH
 If Judge Smith should be nomi- mated on March % would be band the choicest appointments to the crowd he jumped to in 19o09 If nominated by the Democratic par tY, which he publicly deserted in 1900, would he expect the party to support him in the general ele3t- ion? Gan he oonsistly abandon the party in 1900 and then ask it to make him governor in 1916?
 Refusal to support the nominee has always been the most unpar- donable of political sins. Judge Smith must first absolve himself from such sin before he can expect reward at the hands of the Demo- cratic party Try running on the Republican ticket against d Demo cratic nominee, Judge Smith, that is where you belong.

REPUBLICANS FOR WILSON.

When the Chicago Tribune last
week took a poll of the republican
editors in the middle west, asking
their preference for president, it
nearly had fit over the returns as
they came in. One republican editor
in Michigan, five republican editors in
Illinois, four republican editors in
Iowa, two republican editors in Indi-
Wisconsin want Wilson nominated by
the republican national convention.
1t seems that the investigator ran
upon an unexpected situation. That
reminds one of the situation in Ne
braska, where some republican pa
pers supported the democratic candi-
date for governor, and others, while
they did not support him, always had
a good word to say for him. 1t may
account for the fact that while the
registration always indicates large
republican majority in the city and
state, the democrats usually elect
their ticket. They will certainly do
so this fall. The members of the re-
publican party have got into a posi-
ton where they will not stand with
out hitching, and a great many of
them have broken away from the old
habits and won't even stand when
they are hitched.
1t is beyond dispute that there are
a good many republican editors and
republican voters who in
tend to support Wilson. In Massa-
chusetts they say if Brandeis is de-
feated and not confirmed, they will
put him up for United States senator,
and many republicans will vote for
him in a contest with Senator Lodge.
The fact is, the common people in
10th parties are friendly to Wilson
and the Wilson policies.

A BANKRUPT PARTY.

II there ever was political party
completely bankrupt it is the republi-
can party today. It's most prominent
leaders are reduced to a line Of dem
agOgy that would be dlsgraceful in a
ward fight in city election. The
leaders of the party have been de-
nouEcing the president for months
because he was not more decisive in
his foreign policy. When he did send
forward more decisive note and de-
clared his purpose in a speech before
both houses of congress in a measure
doing what these republican leaders
had been denOuncing him for not
doing, they turned upon him in saw
age fury and Mr.. Mann, the republic
can leader of the house, declared:
1T is perfectly evident that the
president as campaign political
dodge, is trying to work up to a. point
where he can get into war with
Germany during presidential cam
paign.'
II the party had one principle that
it dared to defend, it would never re-
sort to such tactics as that. 1t is
utterly bankrupt. 1t has not an asset
of any sort left. There is just a bare
possibility that it will rally round
Roosevelt upon an understanding that
Wall street interests will support
him. The vote in one or two states
for Ford cast by the republicans,
shows the other side of that possibil-
ity. There is section of the party
that wants to make high tariffs an
issue, while others remember it was
on that issue that the party was
wrecked
The republican leaders have here
tofore relied on money to carry their
campaigns, but they cannot again
''fry the fat" out of the manufacture
ers. There is dismay among the re-
publican candidates for president.
Only one stands boldly forth and he
has not yet decided whether he will
be the republican candidate or not. 1t
is hard to imagine what a normal
minded republican really thinks when
he contemplates the Terrible Ted
dy. "-World-Herald.

IOWA OR PARTY FIRST, WHICH?

The healthiest and most hopeful
symptom growing out of the candid
acy of E. T. Meredith for governor,
applied to the future growth and de-
velopment of the state of Iowa, is
discovered in the almost universal
glad acclaim from both the people
and the press of the state, which
greeted the announcement of his
candidacy.
Almost with one voice the people
of the state proclaimed their delight
that man of his probity and stature
had been found who would consent
to enter the service of the state in the
capacity of governor. -
So genuine and spontaneous was
this greeting that the meaning of it
cannot be mistaken; it MUST be ac-
cepted that the people and the press
of this state are now xahd will in the
future make the welfare, growth and
development of the state paramount
to any party or partisan considera-
ton Whatsoever
The following item from the Gin
ton "Mirror,' republican, hardly ex-
presses commendable spirit:
"MereCith at the head of the Iowa
democrat tic delegation to the Nation
al convention at st. Louis foreshad-
Ows his nomination for governor.
THE whole party could not put up
a more presentable man, and repub-
lcans would gladly vote for him
II ne were on our ticket"
jim writing and publishing this edi-
torial, the Mirror has not correctly
sensed the temper of the people of
the state; It has been so blinded by
partisanship that it has failed or re-
fused to discern the great statewide
movement and sentiment to make the
welfare of the state the determining
factor in matters relating to state
e vernment, and the subordination of
political parties and partsanship to
state welfare.
The great body Of the men and
women of the state are patriots; they
have ceased to be mere partisan
pawns, offering themselves and the
best interests of the state as a will
ing sacrifice upon the altar of po-
litical party; they are asking them
selves, What man among all the
candidates on all the tickets is best
equipped to give the state the quail
lty of service it deserves? and they
are finding the answer just as the
Mirror has done, in E. T. Meredith.
In times past the cry he is not on
our ticket has been potentially eff
fective; but in these modern days
when the test of efficiency is being so
relentlessly applied, it will not ap-
peal. The people are going to, as
they should, vote for the man who
can best serve the state. Our prob
lens in Iowa, are nonpartisan and
the people are going to vote for men
instead of for parties.

THE ARMY BILL.

| The Conference committee of the
two houses of congress has agreed or
an army bill providing for a regular
army of 2O6, 900, peace strength. We
now have 100000. 1t provides as
we'll for federalized militia of 425,.
900. This will make a total peace
strength of 631 900, with a possible
expansion to $4,000 in time of war
This measure comes in response tC
tie push Of events on the Mexican
border and the steady pressure of an
aroused public opinion upon congress
1t seems so likely to be enacted into
law that it is we'll to pass at once to
questions it suggests.
FIRST, what will it cost? At $3.50
each per year $4,000 additional reg
ulars will cost us 1913, 100000 year.
At 1887 each per year, S425,000 fed
eraliZed militiamen will come to $685.
C0O,0OO year. These two items
make 1851, 00,OO0-$26,O 900, 900
more than our present army is cost
Ing LIS. The addition of $151,OOO,-
600 would increase our national bud
get Is per cent, If not offset by econ
Omies.
The second question is even more
IMPORTANT. Congress is preparing to
authorize an army, but that will not
create it. 1t can only be gathered
under the proposed law by the volun-
tary act of the individual recruit. Are
there $4,000 American boys ready to
enlist in the regular army? Are these
$4,000 more ready to enter a feder-
allied militia?
With respect to this matter of mill
tary service we are still in the senti-
mental stage. Governments cannot
exist in this world without the power
of requiring two things at the hands
of the governed-the payment of
money in the form of taxes and the
giving of service to defend the land
The race long ago left behind the
sentimental stage in the matter of
taxes; the days when the Kings
was supported by gifts
of cities and owners of estates passed
with the passing of the dark ages.
We tax the citizen and never stop
for an instant to consider whether he
likes it; our only concern is to make
the inevitable payments as small and
easy as possible. But in the matter
Of personal service under arms-a
thing that the citizen owes as truly
as he owes taXes-we still sentiment
talize and talk about "conscription.'
We might as we'll call tax collecting
coercion"
But this is by the way. The need
for more men at the present hour is
acute. The country will respond as (
t would not in piping times of peace
And congress can, this measure pass
I'd, turn its attention to working out !!
1 plan for military service which will !
provide for the personal side of ma
:ional defense as definitely and as |
as taxation provides !
'or the financial side of it.
The present need is to pass the bill !:
IS amended in the conference.-St |
