that "Mary Ellen Lease baa come

superfluous to use the word

Over la Iowt. ' "
What la happening over la Iowa
most be an eye-opener on the presi
dential situation. When the curtain
was first rung up, the insurgents
boasted that President Taft would not
hare a look-in In the Hawkeyatate,
and that Its convention delegates
should Jm checked up la advance In
the La FoUetta column. Aa the
drama progressed Increasing doubt
led to a change In the cast, when
Senator 'Cummins assumed the title
role on the theory that aa Iowa's
favorite son" he would have the
delegation practically without a
struggle. The spectacular entrance of
Colonel Roosevelt was expected to
strengthen the Insurgent force, and
make certain their victory, but. In
stead, the renewed activity of the
president's friends baa been giving
Taft the delegates as chosen, and at
present prospects the vote of Iowa at
Chicago will disclose a majority for
Taft when the roll la called oven as
sgalast Mr. Curamlns, who In other
matters political baa been practically
invincible.
Wltb Iowa for Taft la the heart of
what waa supposed to. br the Insur

Bonaparte tod the.Eeoatr
Former Attorney,. Oeneral ' Bona
parte la among those advocating a
third term for Roosevelt, but Mr.
Bonaparte Is an old-echool constitu
tionalist and his support of th col
onel Is on of the paradox of th
present campaign. In an address be
fore the Illinois Bar association In
June, 1911, Mr. Bonaparte aaid:
It Is moat clearly ths duty of every
worthy dtlasn to pro teat with all hi
powers against auch a detectable device
to promote Judicial servility aa the so
oalled "recall'' and against aa enoroecb-
ment la any form en th abselut and
Inflexible independence of th judge.
Mr, Bonaparte is on of th many
distinguished men who are finding
the matter of keeping up with th
shifting pollticsl scenery a most In
teresting diversion. , U bad not re
nounced his view on th recall, so
fsr aa w hav heard, but Is going
to put personality above prrndpl la
order to be loyal to bis chief.
It Is a gsy Ufa for a maa who be
lieve In the "absolute and Inflexible
Independence of th Judiciary" to op
pose President Taft, who etande for
just that Idea.

Two essential points of eoateqtloa
arose In connection wltb th kill con
ferring Americas cltlsenshlp upon
Porto ft leans, which hsa passed the
house by a two-third ' majority,
These points ware, first, that under
the Foraker act of It SO." which has

ship already was enjoyed at leaat by
all Inhabitants continuing to reside
ther who were Spanish subjects re
siding In Porto Rico on ' April 11,
1890, and their children born aubse
qttently. Th second point, urged
chiefly by Mr. Mann of Illinois, was
that If admitted to cltlsenshlp the
Porto R leans would soon demand
statehood. Indeed, Mr. Mann con
tended that it would ba easier for
them to obtain statehood than It has
beea to secur full cltlseashlp. Both
b and Mr. Canaoa doubted th pre
paredness of th majority for sharing
th same rights of aitlsenshlp which
Americana, accustomed by tradltioa

' Bat the passage of this bill fulfills
a prom las made to th Port Rteaus
sad advocated by both th republican

national platforms. Th Porto

In every war, they have show; a ten
dency te keep faith with Cad 8am
and profit by hie assistance. . ,
Ths argument, however, that Porto
Rico Is already aa erg an lied territory
and that Its Inhabitant are already
roll cltitens of the Calted States Is
debatable. Tke status of Porto Rfco
has beea anomalous sloe th island
was cat loos from 8 pain and pot un
der' American responsibility. It Is
only fair after this probationary pe
riod to giv those people a distinctive
national status, and yet It Is doubtful
if such a concession tempts them to
demand too early statehood.
' A General Coal Strike.
The thoughtful man who Contem
pts tee the full Import of a general
coal nine strike In Eaglaad, Ger
many, Franc and th United State
must be appalled at the possible con
sequences. Ths first thing one thinks
of la that inch a strike would deplete
th available supply of coal and crip
ple all coal-using Industries, those
upon sea and land. That would, of
course, be disastrous enough, but go
further Into the' situstion. This is
only a small part ef th hardship that
would ensue. Armies of other work
men. In no wsy related to nor re
sponsible for, coal miners' problem,
would be thrown out of work are
already. In Europe aad brought to
the pang of severest suffering for a
condition they did not create and
could not prevent
In England alone there kre about
1,000,009 coal miners, 900,000 of
whom are said to belong to the
union. But there are 1,400,000
tredea unionists In England and these
men ar beginning to vote very em
phatic protests at tho proposal of a
general strike, for already they ar
imposed upoa by th tie-up la th
mlnaa, tbouaands ot them being
thrown out of employment ss a direct
consequence. These 1,400,000 trsdes
unionist do not desirs to quit thslr
work; they hav no grievance with
their mployers.. Their wish is to re
main at work. Ia the meantime, they
hav a total fund on hand. It la re
ported, of !0,00.eoo, but for a
membership of 1,100,000 this Is not
largo and la ths event of any con
siderable portion of this number
being forced Into Idleness this fund
would begin to dwindl very rapidly.
What la true in England la true
la th ether countries ot Europe. Un
told privation and hardship would
follow In the wake of a ' general
strike aad, no matter how much op
posed to luch a movsment these other
tradeemea might be, they must suffer
Just th cam. It Is" wrong. It le one
of the vital wrongs la the principle
ot th strlks. Th coal miners, an-
doubtedly, hav a good deal of Jut-
tic la their claims; because a etrlk

ances, It doe not at all follow that
th right Is necessarily all oa th
sld of.th employer. But the point I

equally with th employ that a

times fourth, party aid; therefor, is
not th proper rueana ef settling labor
disputes. It would be- aa ominous
warning, Indeed. If such a thing as t
general strlks of coal miners in vari
ous countries oa both aide of th At
Untie could b successfully . main
tained, even lor a' brief time. .
It goee without saying that all the
grafting Is chargeable to that en
Ion little councilman, and that he
will atand up (Ike a maa and take

a downward revision of the tariff, tba

procured by a competent board. Hs
would exclude logrolling sad bargaining
from tariff revision,' He is a better pro
gressiva than Mr. Roosevelt tor th
latter,. we believe, a aa sdvocats ef th
recall ot oottrt decisions. Is a reactionary.
We have eome testimony about Mr. Taft
a "tbe true friend of reform" 1b a
letter written three and a belt years
sgo by Mr. Roosevelt, who then said:
"To permit the direction ef our public
affairs to tall alternately Into the hands
of revolutionaries snd reactionaries of the
extreme radicals of unrest and of the
bigoted conservative who recognise ne
wrongs to remedy, would merely mean
that tb nation bad embarked oa a
feverish coarse ef violent oscillation
which would be fraught wltb great tem
porary troubl and would produce no
adequate good in the end.
"Tbe true friend ot reform, the true
foe to abuses, Is the man who steadily
persevere In righting wrongs, in warring
against abuses, but whose character sal
training are such that he never promise
what be eansat perfarm. that be always
a Httle more than makes good what be
dees promise, aad that, while steadily
advancing, ha never permits himself to
be lad into tooileh excaaees which would
damage the very cause be champion.
"In Mr. Taft wa have a man who com
bines sll of the qualities to a degres
which ao other man In our public lit
sine th civil war has surpassed."
If this correctly describe snd charac
terises Mr. Taft; why shonld Mr. Roose

should any progress! v desire to oust
him from office for Mr. Roosevelt's
benefit?
