ply in this case, and that the upper
ranks are being crowded. Either this or
the ambitions of the applicants are gu
perior to their qualifications in many
cases. The normal school output, how

that many more are qualified for first

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.
In referring to the campaign open
ing the Boone Republican says. Mr..
Cummins is masterful in his writing
those who will have opportunity to hear
him in this campaign may count upon
a forensic treat"
The Dubuque Telegraph thinks
KITCHENER should be satisfied by this
time that wars are not to be ended by
proclanations.''
One of the troubles about Candidate
Phillips carrying on campaign of ed
ucation is that he cannot pass the
necessary examination for a teachers
certificate" suggests the Council Bluffs
Nonpareil.
In noticing the Montezuma Demo-
Gratis charges against the democratic
candidate for governor, and its deter
mination to purge the ticket by press
ing the matter. the Davenport Dem
ocrat observes that there is not the
slightest danger on earth that Mr.. Phil
lips will be anything more than mere
incident in the campaign. He will
not be heard OF after it. But the past
record of the state for clean guberna-
torial campaigns is in danger of being
sadly smirched and smudged. The sit
ton is not pleasing to Iowans. The
situation marks distinct retrogade in
Iowa politics. Whatever the facts the
people lament a campaign of this kind.
Whatever the issue, for the sake of
Iowa's good name Iowan's want Mr..
Philips to succeed in his effort to clear
his name.'

Roosevelt was one of the men who sent
their congratulations to Mr.. Cummins
after his nomination. This seems now
like tip from headquarters"
"Give the girls the best OF education"
is the patriotic demand of the Sioux
City Journal. LET them have college
education il possible The way to get
at the boys of the future is by means of
the girls who are to be their mothers.
Too much attention has been given to
the boys and not enough to the girls.
If the boys of a college woman are cap
able of receiving an education they
stand the best chance of getting it.
The best side of the house is the mother
side of it. II the girls are put forward
the boys will get in the neighborhood."
The Waterloo Courier asks What
does 1t matter whether Schley ordered
his boats to take coal out in the ocean,
or whether he lay with his vessels eight
or twelve miles off Santiago. When the
real test came it appears he was close
enough to take such an active part that
his ship, the Brooklyn, did more de-
struction than any other, despite the
fact that she is accused of looping
Keokuk Gate City: No great poem
has yet been written dealing with the
tragedy at Buffalo in an adequate way.
OF verses there have been plenty and
some exceptionally beautiful and good
things have been said in prose. but the
first poem such as the event is calcu-.
lated to inspire has yet to appear.
The theme is one calling for treatment
in a large way by a large mind. Must
it be confessed that there is no one in
this great nation capable OF meeting
the eXigency? Or is the event yet too
near for poetic treatment"
