IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.
The Iowa Falls Citizen declares that
Iowa republicans are loyal to pro-
lection but they want protection that
Ibuilds industries and not trusts. They
want protection where protection is
needed and nowhere else"
The Davenport Democrat notices that
this is the season of the year when
corporations have a chance to disprove
the common saying that they have
no souls, and some of them are doing
It. For further particulars watch the
papers"
The Keokuk Gate City suggests that
ut probably isn't Admiral Schley's
fault but 1t is certainly his misfortune
that he is burdened with such large
retinue of fool friends"
According to the Boone Republican,
lit is time to get out your resolutions
and polish them up."
The Waterloo Courier says that if
any change is to be made In congress
sional districts, the plan to drop out
Hardin county and add Hancock to the
Third district would please republicans
of Blackhauk county better than any
otbar vet suppested
| In its hints to Santa the Council
Bluffs Nonpareil advises that care
should be taken to pick out the right
kind OF a necktie for the anarchist"
IF we might suggest an amendment
| to the Registers motion it would be that
Dolliver be included with Allison in the
vote of confidence" says the Algona
Republican.
| Ringgold Record: But seldom indeed
lis a man so we'll suited to place as
| is our secretary of agriculture flames
Wilson1 to his place. 1t is an exact
fit. The people seem to see 1t and to
understand it.
The Webster City Freeman Tribune
thinks 1T is little wonder that men of
wealth hesitate to give to charity. They
are damned IL they do and damned If
they don't. but the damning is a little
less vigorous and fanatical If they
DON'T
Cedar Rapids Republican: If Schley
has been the victim of naval clique,
LIT is equally true that Sampson has
been the victim of a newspaper clique.
He has been given the worst end OF
every controversy, and he has often
given himself the worst of 1t.
| Logan Observer: Every democratic
and independent newspaper assumes
that the tariff causes trusts. Therefore
remove the tariff and the trusts will
die They do not show, nor attempt to
show, that the death of the trusts will
be good thing for the American peo-
pie. These democratic papers and their
independent allies also favor what they
call reciprocity. a system of disguised
free trade. Republican reciprocity, the
reciprocity of Blaine and Mckinley,
they do not want. They want to go
back to the conditions of 1898 to 1897.
Look out for their sophistries
The Sioux City Journal declares it
will not do to say that the Tenth and
Eleventh districts as the case stands
can be Indifferent to the question of
congressional reapportionment. The
Journal supports the contention that
the present arrangement is unjust to
northern Iowa. 1t says: THE fact that
the Legislature is not likely to rearrange
the congressional districts, because of
conflicting interests and because Of the
bother of the whole business, does not
change the fact that the districts should
be arranged in advance of the con-
gressional election of next year
Perry Chief Reporter: The normal
school issue in this state is like some
others, 1t will not be settled until 1t is
settled right. We believe the last legis-
lature would have given US more of
such schools, had 1t not been for few
selfish localities. If the question of
more normal schools could be allowed
to go before the legislature without
being embarrassed with any riders in
the shape of locations for the new
schools, there is little doubt but that
more normal schools would be estab-
lished. Let the real issue and advisa-
bility Of the step be first decided with
out prejudice, fear or favor. and with
the welfare of the state in mind. and
then the number of schools could be
located without much trouble.
