THE WAY TO DO 1T.

Col. Smith J. Brookhart has just
bought an SS-acre farm at Wells
ton, Iowa. Most of the land is COW
cred by light growth of timber, and
the Brookhart boys will spend the sum
summer there getting it ready for cul-
Moines Register.
Mr.. Brookhart by buying this farm
proves his confidence in Iowa Land and
shows that he has no fears of the dire
things he said the Esch-Cummins law
is going to inflict upon the farmers OF
Iowa. BY the simple act Of investing
in S. acres of land he refutes the main
arguments he INDUCED in while trying
to fool the people Of this state into
supporting him for United States sena-
tor. One would think, if he believed
what he was saying, that he would
not want to invest perfectly good coin
in farm lands.

party says that 1.-The dirtiest political
work Senator Kenyon Of Iowa ever did
was to get into that investigation Of
campaign expenses. He was either a
fool or traitor to the Republican
party" We will admit that the inves-
tigation uncovered considerable nasti-
ness. It was not all Republican money,
either as witness the testimony OF
witnesses who were spending A. Mitch
ell PalQers money. But the consensus
Of opinion at Chicago was that the i'll
.vestigation spared the Republican
party the embarrassment of having to
defend an utenable situation; also that
it FASTENED the day when no man can
afford to buy the nomination for him
self nor permit his friends to do it for
him.
Senator Kenyon can view with
equanimity the issue raised by his
enemies in Iowa. He can take it to the
people and win by. million,

WORK ora JEW.

Christian Work: The world Is be-
coming familiar with the name of
Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago Jew
who is proving himself one Of the best
friends Of the negro in America. In
eleven southern states he Is aiding In
the building of schoDlhouses for
negroes, on condition. that the minimum
school term is five months, and that in
addition to what he gives, the COM
munity, county or state raise enough
money to complete and furnish the
schoolllouse. What this may mean in
the south is illustrated in North Caro-
lima. There, as the result Of an active,
intensive ana extensive campaign, such
an interest in building rural school
houses for colored children has grown
up as never before existed. In some
counties anywhere from five to ten and
even as many as eighteen communities
have applied for. the ROsenwald aid
during the year just past. One man.
and he Jew, is helping to do as much
in the way Of uplifting the negro as
are whole denominations Of Christians.

CR1TICIzING KENYON.

Knoxville Journal: It's the fashion
just now for republican newspapers
and republican politicians to and lot
of fault with Senator Kenyon because
he made some speeches for Hiram
johnson, or because he don't part his
hair in the middle or because of this
or that or the other. Most Of the criti-
cism is pure, bunk. Senator Kenyon
has made good record In the senate.
He is a little too independent to suit
a lot of politicians and he is too inn
patient Of a lot Of political clap trap
that the politicians love to talk 'atiouit I:
He refused to- take. orders from the
Lowden political inac hfiie IN this state
and as a consequence the has tleit
fenmity. 1t is even suggested that the
Lowden shouters in Iowa refused to
let Mr.. Kenyon come to Iowa; to make
some speeches for ,,SSenator ,G,'Mp'llns :
while the latter WAS too ills TO- decfae e
such things for, himself. However, tfast
Emay be, sene tor il Kenyon d is a vastly
more inspiring figure in public Ills than

and will continue to be one of the i'm
portant factors in Iowa politics until
he takes himbself out Of public life

only in giving all sides to the contro-

men fare no better than they would
have Jared had they submitted their
grievances in the first place to an i'm

But" says the agitator, 1.-THE strike

strike is not an effective weapon. 1t

Senator Harding is right in insisting
that the Republican campaign must be
so conducted that the party cannot be
accused Of receiving money from the
interests to carry on the contest. He
held conference the other day with
Col. William Boyce Thompson, chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee of the Republican party, and it
was agreed that no campaign fund in
excess of $1,000 should be accepted
from any person or combination OF
persons. Mr.. Harding has the salts
faction of knowing that he used less
money in. the .ante-convention contest
than any of the candidates, and large
proportion of what was used i'll his be-
half was contributed by the people OF
his home town, and it is not large
town at that.

1t doesn't matter whom the republic
cans might have nominated for presi-
dent at Chicago the charge would
have been put forward by democratic
politicians and soured republicans
that ''the interests did it through the

HARDlNG's POSITION.

New York Sun: British newspapers
and French newspapers are Specializing
as to what will be Senator Hardings
stand OIL the League Of Nations, HOW
that lie has been nominated by tile Re
publican party for President Of the
United States. There is no occasion
for them to do any guessing. They
need not even await Senator Harding's
formal acceptance Of the nomination
Warren G. Harding does not change
Ibis convictions and principles when he
nuts on new suit of clothes. His
own words, his own votes, all the de-
tails of his own record are straight
enough, clear enough and sure enough
to cnfighten anybody that honestly
wants to know.
Senator Harding was a member Of
the Foreign Relations Committee, In
the celebrated conference at the, White
House between the committee and the
president, Senator Harding bluntly
asked Mr.. Wilson:
IF there is nothing more than a
moral obligation ON the part of any
member of the league, what avails
Articles X and KIP" .ss
The president expressed surprise
that if an obligation be assumed the
question should be raised as to wheth-
err we ARE bound i'm the most solemn
way to carry it OUT, Senator Harding
was not satisfied with that answer, as
he declared to the president and as he
also declared later. Oh the fioor Of the
senate in the following words:

BURNED POWDER.

Democrats are now digging up what
Senator Harding's paper said about
Roosevelt in 1912 when the senator
was supporting Taft for president, but
what the country is really interested
in is to know whether or not the DEM
ocratic party has kept the pledges it
made to the people in that campaign.
1t was granted full power to cure the
evils of which it complained. 1t was
going to show the trusts, and big COM
binations generally where to head in
and was going to reduce the high cost
|of living. It cannot escape facing its
broken promises and disregarded
pledges by parading before the country
the attitude of Senator Harding
against the presidential candidate of
the progressive party. Taft said lot Of
things about Roosevelt during that
contest. But Taft and Roosevelt COM
posed their differences in 1916 and
were again friends when the Latter
died. The same is true of Senator
Harding and the late ex-president. The
differences between Harding and Roose-
welt in 1912 are immaterial. Bat
whether, or not the Democrat: party
has redeemed its pledges is. Of vital
as it is ansindicatioa of the
trust that can be placed in the party's
promises. So. .ns g.

The. republican party promises to
simplify the method Of making out in
come tax reports. If a simpler form is
devised, one that the ordinary tax
payer can understand, he will appreci-
ate it., 1t is a nightmare to many tax
payers to be confronted by the neces-
|sity of making out the report. No
matter how careful and painstaking
he is, he is filled with a lurking fear
THAT he has not done the job right and
is liable to be investigated by "A tax
ferret and made to pay penalty for
his unfamiliarity with work of that
character. If the republican party will
give some relief in this matter it will
receive the heartfelt thanks of a suffer
ling public. There is more complaint
over the hardships imposed in making
out the reports than there is in paying
the. tax. "a

REED, THROWN OUT.

Tie hypocrisy Of Woodrow Wilson's
shallow pretense, of trying to make the
world safe, for democracy was, again
illustrated by the action Of his hench-
men at San Francisco in the ousting
of Senator Heed as a delegate. Mr..
Reed was the choice of his congress
sional district for delegate and was
elected to that position However, the
Democratic state convention o. Mis-
souri, undertook to dictate to the con-
gressionai district whom it should
send 10 San Francisco to represent it
Iii the national undemOcratic cdnyen-
,tiOn. But the district stood by the
man of it's choice and insisted upon its
rights i'm the matter. Accordingly, the
contest was taken to the national con-
yentiOn and, as might be expected, the
cohorts of Woodrow Wilson were there
in great. numbers to see that the PEG
pie of Mr.. Reeds district were denied
the, right of elf-determinatiOn and MIR.
Reed was, figuratively speaking,
thrown through the transom hcadfirst.
Senator Reed, it will be recalled,
took an early stand against the ratifi-
cation of the presidents League OF
Nations cOvenant-the, document that
was going to make the world safe for
Democracy everywhere, Except in
Democratic states in this country, and
of course the action taken by the able
and fearless Missouri senator was lese
majesty and he must be punished for
his INSTRUMENTATION even II the con-
gressional district in which he lives
has to be DISTINGUISHED to accomplish
that purpose!

FAIR TREATMENT.

Perhaps there is no difference in
the characteristics and inclina tons OF
railroad owners and railroad employ
ees The owners fought for years the
idea that the government had the right
to control them; had the right to fix
fair rates; had the right to limit bond
cd Indebtedness, etc. The government
finally established these rights through
legislation and court decisions. More
over, the government has the right to
take. possession of the roads III an
emergency and operate them. Besides,
the companies cannot discontinue the
operation of trains pending settlements
of rate disputes. They must keep the
transportation facilities functioning.
The government has not asserted this
authority to injure the roads, but
rather to protect the public, and the
public generally believes the govern
ment must do this.
Now comes the proposition to arbi-
trate the demands of trainmen and
railroad employees, not to impose any
injustices upon wOrkingmen, but to pro
tect the public; to prevent strikes; to
keep the roads operating, thus prevent.
ing hardships and suffering on the part
Of all the. people. 1t is proposed to
adopt methods to stop strikes similar
to those adopted to prevent railroad
companies from disseminating trans
portation service. Nobody wants to
impose any injustice upon labor any
where, but everybody now realizes that
the public must have protection, and
the only way the public can secure
protection is to prevent strikes that
tie UP the railroad lines of the country.
If the employees of the roads ask for
only justice why do they rebel ut the
idea of having disinterested govern
mental tribunal, similar to the, one
that fixes freight rates, settle the dis
putes between the companies and the
men! All workiiigmen in the coun-
try, and their families, suffer from the
paralysis of the avenues of commerce.
Thousands of them are idle at this
moment because of strikes that prevent
the movement of freight, resulting in
the inability of factories to get ma
terial to continue operations.
When labor agitators say, as some

The linanimity with which the Hard
ing nomination is being acclaimed
,angurs. we'll. for. the. success of the
campaign. Prior to the convention in
dividual preferences were divided
amohg many candidates but it Is ap1
parent that since the contest is over,
all who believe in republican principles
are getting behind the nominee. AL
though the campaign will be fought
chiefly on issues, yet the personality
of the republican nominee is such as to
bring strength to the cause. The nature
of the man will make him as popular
with the great masses OF the people as
he is among his neighbOrs in his home
town and state.

In CHANGING over an old copy OF the
of January 5, 1903,
we note that the price of wheat in
Chicago that day for July delivery was
9S cents. corn was worth As cents and
|oats 81 cents. Now July corn is quoted
lat around $50, and oats are worth
$1O4. Hogs in 1905 We're bringing from
4.45 to $4.65 per hundred pounds, now
the high mark is $3.50. Quite a diff
ference. During the intervening fifteen
years corn has increased in value about
400 per cent, Noats more than 300 per
cent and hogs about the same per
|centage as oats.

Senator w. G. Harding began life at
hard work OH the farm, undertook the
printing of small newspaper, per-
formed all kinds of work from turning
the press by hand, up to writing the
editorials, learned how to make both
ends meet financially, SO that the pay
roll could be liquidated every Satur-
day night, built up his paper to daily
of high standing and influence, served
in the state senate, in the lieutenant
governorship, and finally in the United

manufacturers are claiming they are

But they sell to the curbstone gamblers

SERVED HIS COUNTRY.

People who are cOndemning Senator
Kenyon for the part he took in the
of the expenditures OF
te-convention presidential campaign
funds should direct their condemna-
tions at those who INDUCED in the
lavish use Of money. The senator lid
nothing more than to assist in bringing
ont the facts and if the facts hurt any
body those responsible for the facts are
the ones who should be rensured.
Senator Kenyon performed good
service not only to his party but to his
country. in the part he took In that
and the common people
are with him, no matter how sore a
few disappointed politicians may be. 1t
is fortunate for the republican parry
that the truth was revealed before the
nomination was made. Otherwise. II
might have been a serious handicap
upon the party during the campaign.
The people have the right to know how
much money is being used in all con
tests for official positions and they
have the right to know to what pur-
pose the money is put. If we had
more outstanding men in public life like
Senator Kenyon, men who are quick to
see their duty and not afraid to do it,
even if it does hurt their party" the
country would be better off.
