A long assemblage of editorials and notices discusses war era diplomacy and neutrality, tariff verdicts, and local government reforms. It covers Taft era prosperity, republican prospects for 1916, city paving plans, and comments on journalism and public advertising in Iowa newspapers.
In a sharp denunciation the writer argues Republicans in Congress defend their rights while resisting Taft. They claim Taft’s renomination would reopen party wounds, mobilize millions against him, and risk a repeat of 1912 defeat. A strong, untainted Republican candidate could win in 1916 if led wisely.
The Freeman Tribune highlights an editorial titled An Infants Cry about Henry Lauder's reaction to a crying baby at a Cedar Rapids event. It also cites Bishop Isaac W Joyce’s calm handling, praising motherhood. The piece then discusses Boone News Republicans stance on paying for street intersections versus general paving costs and fair cost distribution by property owners and the city.
The Boone city council approves paying for intersection paving from the general or improvement fund with all taxpayers bearing a share, while Webster City residents favor citywide payment. Property owners whose streets are paved are assessed for the intersection, sparking debate on necessity versus equity and budgetary tricks to cover paving.
The Springfield Republican argues Penrose led the Republican tariff fight and would have dominated if aligned with free trade. It says Pennsylvanians favor a truly protective tariff and would pass it when not distracted by other issues. The column also features a Stanford Palo Alto Sermon and a humor column on social behavior and etiquette.
