IDes Moines Reglster.1

LES MOIllcS
If anything were needed to show the
essentially absurd nature Of the tax
payers league it would be the meetns
that has just been held in Des Moines
The meeting was addressed by F. N.
Shippey, Frank Ducey, Horace Greeley
Cue, and Justin r. Doran. Shippey' s
hobby just now is abolishing the Cath
olic church, Ducey wants to abolish the
state college at Ames, fl anybody Will
undertake to name all of the hobbies
Of Horace Greeley Cue in one column
he is welcome to the space in the Reg
lister. AS for Doran, who IS a pretty
shrewd citizen in his own way, ne was
born an old granny and he has oeen
one more or less all his life
All that was needed for this meet
ing was the presence Of B1odgett to
urge the abolition Of the supreme
court, and of Pierce, of the Homestead,
to explain why he should have the
state printing.
The time has come to say few
frank words about this taxpayers
league movement in Iowa. The Regis
ter has reason to believe that it has
been financed by the railroads, and
before the campaign is over, We hops
to be able to make a positive state
ment.
Our readers will recall that the
league began to show signs of vitality
about the time Senator Allen opened
his primary election campaign for
higher railway taxes. Senator Allen
produced figures to show that the
railroads in this state were paving only
half as much mile in taxes as they
were in Illinois. AS the report comes
to this office the railroads began to
sit up and take notice, and Senator
Doran's movemnt began to take on
new life.
1t may be urged that the railroads
would not be behind movement thai
had ended in such an absurd meeting
as this just held in Des Moines. But If
must be remembered that William Fl.
Berry was present from Indianola, and
took the proceedings quite seriously.
The Register would not do injustice
to any body OF men in Iowa met IN
any cause, no matter how little inter-
est il might feel in the cause But this
taxpayers League movement has long
since passed the stage Of being an hon
est movement TO consider taxation In
Iowa. In fact, from the beginning 1t
has never been willing to debate taxa
ton either inteiligently or fairly.

CALLING NAMES.
Hardin County Citien.z]

ladTuil SOunty 1ltlen.E
In the earlier days of newspaper
ing there were editors or rather bill
lingsgaters who made a specially of
dealing in foul names. If something
or somebody didn't just suit them,
they turned loose with all the vile
epithets that they could command
and all the slang that they cound find
in their old dilapidated dictionary.
Most any old timer will tell you with
pleasure OF some hero of former days
in this line. Once, in a great while
such freak gets into the profession
now to air his mind and throw his
rot out onto the helpless public
The prototype Of this fellow will be
found on the curbstone occasionally.
He jumps up with his mouth full Of
all the heroic slime of the gutter,
hurls all the words at his command
that are not found in the dictionary
and which would he a disgrace and
insult to his own mother, and pro-
poses to mop the earth with the efel-
low against whom there lisa real or
imaginary grievance. = z.,e
When a man gets in such frame
of mind he is fool. He is a disgrace
to himself and to his kin. He is a re-
spoiler of, decency
Such talk and actions and such
convince no 6 one Of
anything except the depravity Of the
person who engages In it. A position
or argument that viii not stand the
test OF calm reason can't be bolstered
up with foul names and vile epithets.

"No republican can consistently be
against Harding" declares the Sioux
City Journal. ~ 4s
The Journal therein raises an inter-
esting question. We presume the dis
cussion would be more valuable and
less heated If the singer were pulled
from the Journals dictum.- and the
question for debate stated more theo-
retically: NO voter who goes into
primary may consistently refuse to
support the nominee OF that primary.
Is this thesis correct? Is voter
bound in all good conscience to sup
port the man who gets thirty-five,
or even fifty-one per cent OF his party's
vote in the primary?
Suppose you lived in William Lori
mer's district in Chicago. Suppose
you performed your patriotic duty and
voted in the primary Lorimer was

A Preacher. Estim.t. Of Golf.

A Preachers Estimate of Golf.
Golf to those, not initiated is like
the gospel to the Jews and the Greeks
in Paurs time. ITO the Jew a stum-
bling block and to the Greek foolish

10 others foolishness. But to the ini-

sluggish spirit and prematurely
shrunken and contracted muscles are
restored to their normal functions.
Golf is hard to define. 1t appears
to be a combination of osteopathy and
chiropractic in its Influence with the
element Of forgetfulness thrown IN.
One forgets his aches and pain, en-
vying and backbiting. It's an anti
dote for thinking i'll of your neighbor

The passing Of few years makes

has only been a few years since the
citizens Of Alton paid 10 cents to ride

And just the other day the balance of
the hitchracks on the south side of
the square were removed to make
room to park the cars which come to
this good town. For couple of years
half OF the south side has been used
for cars, but the recent drop in the
price of Fords. has increased the num-

to make more room. AS the cars in
