•.y: GORE CRITICISES CLARK LEADERS OKLAHOMA SENATOR LAUDS WIL SON AND DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN DES MOINES SPEECH Des Moines, March 21.—Senator Thomas P. Gore of Oklahoma, de parted for Washington early today fol lowing conferences with members of the Iowa WilsoiL league. The Okla homa senator came to Des Moines from the Lincoln banquet Tuesday night after receiving an invitation from the Iowa Wilson league to speak here in behalf of Governor Woodrcw Wilson. Addressing an enthusiastic demo cratic audience, Senator Gore pre dicted if Governor Wilson is the demo cratic nominee for president he will win in Iowa over any republican can didate and insure the election of a democratic governor and United States senator. "If I could nominate the candidates of both parties," said the speaker, "I would name Senator LaFollette and Governor Wilson." W. J. Bryan was mentioned as the other democrat measuring up to the demands^ of the party for a standard bearer this year. Authors of the Zimmerman letter, a document recently circulated in Iowa against Governor Wilson and in behalf of Champ Clark, were criti cised by Senator Gore. He referred to the letter written by former Congress man W: D. Jamieson in charge of the Clark campaign in Iowa, recalling in cidents against Governor WilBon and declared that it read like an indict ment in criminal .court against the New Jersey executive. "Abusing men does not win among intelligent people and certainly will not win in Iowa."' he continued. "If I were to tfrite the party platform I would put it this way— less tarry, more trade, no tariff, no trusts, no Taft. ne Teddy, adding to it, let the people rule." •Senator Gore discussed the tariff and spoke particularly of the tariff re vision of the republicans and cited the 'revision of the sugar tariff. Five cents p. hundred, he said. He spoke of the democrats' attack upon the sugar tariff and declared it would take the republicans "thirty years at the pres ent rate of speed, to accomplish what the democrats did in a day." In discussing big business Senator Gore declared that the money trust is the worst of all. It is larger in its influence than Standard Oil, the steel or tobacco trusts which could not exist if not for the tariff and the money trustB, he said. The Joline letter was referred to by the speaker, who said the double pur poro of the letter was to "set Bryan and Wilson at each other's throats and cause Bryan's followers to turn from Wilson. Bryan proved too big to be trapped," he said. ALBIA. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Strasburger will entertain a large company at cards and dominoes this evening in the Odd Fel lows hall.

INSURGENCY AT TAX CONFERENCE PROGRAM CHANGED SLIGHTLY WHEN DELEGATE DEMANDED FLOOR. Des Moines, March 21.—Delegates to the state tax conference today con tinued their discussion of the present tax system in Iowa and the. new laws which have been proposed by the tem porary commission for recommenda tion to the general assembly. Tonight's session will end the conference. Insurgency appeared at the first session of the conference and some of the details of the program arranged by Gov. Carroll and others, were changed as the result. W. E. Fuller former congressman from the fourth Iowa district demanded that every delegate in attendance be given the rights, of the floor and objected to a paragraph in the program which called for discussion of addresses by taxing officials and others. He was later awarded the permanent chairmanship of the commission. Gov. Carroll declared himself in favor of a permanent tax commission and the establishment of offices of county assessors. He said the rail road property in the state is assessed much higher in proportion to its value than farm property is, and that city property is assessed higher than either of the other two. Chairman Cohen, explained nine drafts of proposed statutes providing for tax reforms, which the commission has held under discussion for several months. The Summers system of property valuation which is in effect in Cleveland Ohio and other cities is the only equi table method of securing tax valuations of property, according to Walter W Pollock of Cleveland, a student of tax questions who spoke briefly before the delegates.

Grasshoppers Hatch Out in Flower Pot Red Oak, March 21.—Grasshoppers in Iowa in March and in such weather as the state has been experiencing is a matter of curiosity and great in terest. A few days ago Mrs. J. B. Bishop found a lot of little hoppers on a window sill in one of her rooms. There were twenty-five eft thirty of them and as sprightly as any ever seen in June. Mrs. Bishop was alarmed at what she regarded as an unusual invasion and was instantly interested in learning where they came from. She discovered that they had been hatched in a flower pot in which a fern had been kept growing during the winter. The pot was filled last fall from the garden and evidently the eggs were in ,' 1 Edwin Proud of Ottumwa came out ing for the district declamatory con Monday for a visit at the parental test which will be held in that city Henry Proud home. tonight.

The Sunday Question. Editor Courier.—In A. A. Snow's ar ticle of March 2 in the Courier I note that he set forth, that "Paul sprang up who let down the bars and admitted the Gentiles into gospel privileges.— The teaching of this man was a great surprise to the Christian world." Now I wish to say, that there were no bars up, or else there could not have been a Christian world if the gospel had not been preached to them. flease see Acts chapter 10, and you will note that Peter was ahead of Paul to teach the gospel to the Gentiles. But "God is no respecter of persons, but in every nation he that feareth him and worketh righteousness is accepted with him (Acts 10:34-35.) For his house shall be called an house of prayer for all people. (Isaiah, 56:7.) Have we not all one father? Hath not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?" (Mai. 2:10.) The above is plain and proven by the bible. That God hath not barred the Gentiles, therefore Paul could not let them down. The barB of transgres sion are also down from the beginning of the world and we have our choice to obey God or man. Did Mr. Snow prove too much? Yes. Our Sunday laws are without bible authority. F. V. Frederickson, Dudley, Iowa. Backache Almost Unbearable Is an almost certain result of kidney trouble. D.

It is, Are the American people fit to govern them selves, to rule themselves, to control themselves? I believe they are. Myj do not." With these words Theodore Roose velt last night opened the. first speech he has delivered since the public announcement of his willing ness to accept the republican nomin ation for president. His subject was, "The Right of the People to Rule." The speech, delivered at Carnegie hall under the auspices of the Civic Forum, elaborated much that Colonel Roosevelt said in his Columbus, Ohio, address, and answered in detail cer tain arguments of President Taft in reply. "I stand on the Columbus speech," said Col. Roosevelt, "the principles there asserted are not new but I believe that they are necessary to the maintenance of free demo cratic government." After his opening declaration Col. Roosevelt continued: "I believe in the right of the people to rule. I believe that the majority of the plain people of the United States will, day in and day out, make fewer mistakes in governing themselves than aqy smaller class or body of men, no matter what their training, will make in trying to govern them. I believe, again, that the American people are, as a whole, capable of self control and of learning by their mis takes. Our opponents pay lip-loyalty to this doctrine, but they show their real beliefs by the way in which they champion every device to make the nominal rule of the people a sham. Criticises Minorities. "I have scant patience with this talk of the tyranny of the majority. Whenever there is tyranny of the ma jority, I shall protest against it with all my heart and soul. But we are today suffering from the tyranny of minorities. It is a small minority that is grabbing our coal deposits, our water powers and our harbor fronts. A small minority is fattening on the sale of adulterated foods and drugs. It is a small minority that lies be hind monopolies and trusts. It is a small minority that stands behind the present law of master and servant, the sweat-shops and the whole calen dar of soclarand industrial injustice. It is a small minority that is today using our^ convention system to de feat the will of a majority of the peo ple in the choice of delegates to the Chicago convention. The only tyran nies from which men, women and children are suffering in real life are the tyrannies of minorities. "No sane man who has been fa miliar with the government of this country for the last twenty years will complain that we have had too mucii of the rule of the majority. The trou ble has been a far different one—that, at many times and in many localities, there have held public office in the states and in the nation men who have, in fact, served not the whole people, but some speciajf class or spe cial interest. I am not thinking only of those special interests which by grosser methods, by bribery and crime, have stolen from the people. I am thinking as much of their re spectable allies and figureheads who have ruled and legislated and decided as if in some way the vested rights of privilege had a first mortgage on the whole United States, while the rights of all the people were merely an unsecured debt. Gives Progress Program. To further the rule of the major- sives of the -republican party in cer tain states have formulated certain proposals for change in the form of the state government—certain 'checkp and balances' which may check and balance the special interests and their allies. "First, there are the 'initiative and referendum,' which are so framed that if the legislatures obey the com mand of some special interest and obstinately refuse the will of the ma jority, the majority may step in and legislate directly. "Then there is the direct primary— the real one, not the New York one— and that, too, the progressives offer as a check on the special interests, Most clearlj of all does it seem to me that this change is wholly good—for every state. The direct primary, if accompanied by a strin gent corrupt practices act, will help break up corrupt partnership of cor porations and politicians. "So that no man may misunder stand me. let me recapitulate: "(1) I am not proposing anything in connection with the supreme court of the United States or with the fed eral constitution. "(2) I am not proposing anything having any connection with ordinary suits, civil or criminal, as between individuals. "(3) I am not speaking of the recall iudees ity," continued, the speaker, "progres- defines our government as a govern- am proposing merely that ln a certaJn cJa Bank. jdaMfai of cases involving the police power, when a state court has set aside as unconstitutiontfl a law passed by the legislature for the gen eral welfare, the question of the va lidity of the law—which should de pend, as Justice Holmes so well phrases it, upon the prevailing morality or pre ponderant opinion—be submitted for final determination to a vote of the people, taken after due time for con sideration. "The president of the United States. to prove the wonderful claims which have been made for it. In making this offer the scientist said: "I know that there are mnay people who have been suffering for years with some chronic disease and many of them "have spent large sums of money seeking a cure. I know that these people hesitate about Investine, money in medicine because they have despaired of ever getting well. Thousands have told me that story and many thousands of the sanie people have told me afterwards that my treatment had cured them after doctors and everything else had failed. I want to show these despairing people that til the newspaper talk about my treat ment is absolutely true. I want to prove to a limited number—no matter what the disease, no matter how long they may have suffered, no matter how blue tnd discouraged—that my treatment really and actually does accomplish the wonderful results that have been re ported." People who suffer from Rheumatism, Rheumatism Lumbago Catarrh Constipation .Piles Diarrhoea .Torpid Liver .Indigestion .Stomach Trouble ...Kidney Trouble .Bladder Trouble .Weak Lungs Mr. Taft, devoted most of a recent speech to criticism of this proposition. He says that it 'is utterly without merit or utility, and, instead of being —In the interest of all the people, and of the stability of popular government, is sowing the seeds of confusion and tyranny.' (By this he of course means the tyranny of the majority, that is, the tyranny of the American people as a whole.) He also says that my proposal (which, as he rightly sees, is merely a proposal to give the people a real, instead of only a nominal, chance to construe and amend a state constitution with reasonable rapidity) would make such amendment and in terpretation 'depend on the feverish, uncertain and unstable determination of successive votes on different laws by temporary and changing majori ties and that 'it lays the ax at the foot of the tree of well-ordered free dom, and subjects the guarantees of life, liberty, and property without remedy to the fitful impulse of a tem porary majority of an electorate.' Upholds His Stand. "This criticism is really less a criticism of my proposal than a critic cism of all popular government. It is wholly unfounded unless it is found ed on the belief that the people are fundamentally untrustworthy. If the supreme court's definition of due process in relation to the public power is sound, then an act of the legislature to promote the col lective interest of the community must be valid, if it embodies a policy held by the prevailing morality or a pre ponderant opinion to be necessary to the public welfare. This is the ques tion that I propose to submit to the people. How can the prevailing moral-1 ity or a preponderant opinion be bet ter and more exactly ascertained than by a vote of the people. "Mr. Taft fairly defines the issue when he says that our government is and should be a government of all the people by a representative part of the people. This is an excellent and mod erate description of an oligarchy. It ment of all of the people by a few of the people." Mr. Taft, said Col. Roosevelt, de clared that the judiciary ought not to be "representative" of the people in the sense that the legislature and the executive are. "This," Col. Roosevelt asserted "is perfectly true of the judge when he is performing merely the ordinary functions of a judge in suits between man and man. It is not true of the judge engaged in Interpreting, for instance, the due process clause— where the judge is ascertaining the preponderant, opinion of the people (as Judge Holmes states it.)

"Mr. Taft again and again, in .auota-. tions I have given and elsewhere, through his speech expresses his dis belief in the people when they" vote at the polls. In one sentence he says that the proposition gives 'powerful effect to the momentary Impulse of a majority of an electorate and pre pares the way for the possible exer cise of the grossest tyranny." Else where he speaks of the 'feverish unV certainty' and 'unstable determination*' of laws by 'temporary and changing1" majorities' and again he says that the system I propose 'would result in suspension or application of consti tutional guarantee according to popular whim' which would destroy 'all possi ble consistency' in constitutional in terpretation. I should much like to know the exact distinction that is to be made between what Mr. Taft calls 'the fitful impulse of a temporary ma jority' when applied to a question such'* as that I raise and any other question Quotes Dean Lewis. "Mr. Taft's position is perfectly, clear. It is that we have in this coun try a special class of persons wiser than the people, who are above the people, who cannot be reached by tihe people, but who govern them and ought to govern them and who protect Vari ous classes of the people from the whole people." Colonel Roosevelt quoted the re marks of William Draper Lewis, dean' of the law school of the University of Pennsylvania, who approved' Mr. Roosevelt's plan of a popular recall of judicial decisions regarding constitu tional amendments, but declared it un fortunate that the plan should have been proposed by a man of such "marked characteristics" as Col. Roose' velt, whose personality he said, might cloud the issue. To this Col. Roosevelt replied: "I can only pay that I wish some-, body else whose suiggestions would arouse less antagonism had proposed it but nobody else did propose it, and so I had to. I am not leading this fight as a matter of aesthetic pleasure, I am leading because somebody must lead, or else the fight would not be made at all. "I prefer to work with moderate, with rational, conservatives, provided only that they def in good faith strive forward towards the light. But when they halt and turn their backs to the light, and. sit with the scorners on the seats of reaction, then I must part company with them. We the people cannot turn back.
