"You surely do not object to the president choosing hiown cabinet. Of course. I knew there.are some people who would tell him whom to put out of the cabinet. There are some Washing ton correspondents of the Des Moines newspapers who have had nie put out six or seven times besides the time I had planned myself to leave, and I see by a Chicago paper this morning that I am about to be put out again because I have come to Davenport to speak to night."

He said he was simply coming there to defend the party and its principles, not to discuss state issues, and be did not. He said he came to talk about princi ples, not men. He did not mention Governor Cummins' name. His speech consisted principally of a discourse on the tariff, and compared the attacks upon it within the party with the attacks by the democratic party, and said that there was not one word in the record of messages and speeches that would show that Presi dent Roosevelt stands for tariff rip ping.

Ignorance Abronil. "In a time like the present, when a spirit of discontent and of revolt against existing conditions is abroad in the land, the harm which an ignor ant mind, no matter how sincere and well meaning, may do, is incalculable. Its bad influence can only be offset by calm reasoning and solid knowl edge.
