Traer, Aug. 5.-The admission in the
Capital. over LATE Young's signature,
that the Conger San Francisco interview
vas fake, was written In the Capital
office and published during Mr.. Young's
absence, was q universal subject OF dis
cusston among the people last week. OF
course the absence of LATE takes away
the personal blame. but, say the people,
Why did he wait a. week or ten days
before exposing the fraud?" Again.
one man says, rs LATE Young going to
keep among his employees man who by
such disreputable work not only dis
eraces the paper he is connected with,
out also made a fool OF every republican
editor in the state who was supporting
lCummins?" And many fear that this
confessed fraud will enter the state con-
yention as a factor in selecting the NOM
inees. The only redeeming feature OF the
whole business is Mr.. Young's manly
admission OF the fake, which must have
been pretty hard thing to do especial
ly from the editor of heretofore relia-
BILE paper. One disguised republican
says, What else could you expect from
u paper that uses rec head lines?" The
unfortunate part OF the affair is that all
papers suffer for such sins OF one, 1t Civ
ing new additional argument to the
party who is always talking of the ly-
ing newspapers
Governor Shaw's suggestion that the
railroad commission fix the tax assess
ment on Iowa railways, and that the ex-
ecutive council act as an eQualizing
board, strikes the voters as very good
thing. Attic this suggestion was made
sometime ago. the people are just be-
ginning to discuss 1t. and 1t is received
much more favorably than anything
from the gubernatorial chair for long
time. Certain it is that the governor is
looked upon as particular friend OF the
corporations, and this suggestion COM
ing from such source is considered ex-
tremely fair.
An observing republican says, Look
for new faces at Cedar Rapids on con-
vention day. Notice the absence as dele
who have run the machine for years.
The old ones will be there in many cases

And another man, who will be there as
a delegate, says: IT am going to the

an doctrine that is. Even good demo-
cratic creed.
Hot weather stories will be in order
for long time. Here's one: The writer
was in Germania on hot Wednesday.
The hotel is on the east side of the prin-
opal street, and the setting sun was
i curing heat into the hotel office. Across
the street the shade of the intervening
buildings looked inviting. So the writer
went across and sat down on dry
goods box Ito cool Oft, And it was
more comfortable. A breeze from the
west was very grateful. But deadly
thermometer spoiled 1t all. Five feet
away from where the writer sat it regis
tered 1O4 degrees. Query: How hot was
II across the street before the Looker-On
began to cool off?
