VEMBER IA. 1901.
ONE life. How many parents there
re who do not understand how to
roperly govern and control their chill
rem. How many husbands there are
7ho do not understand how to treat
heir wives and who trample upon tle
ceilings and heart strings of those
hey have pledged to cherish and sup
'ort Can we organize society to
specially look after the betterment of
he home? 1t seems so cruel, for what

THE LATE CONTEST.
Oskaloosa Herald: Old Iowa turned
Up smiling as usual.
Keokuk Gate City: 1t was certainly
IN "off year" for the democratic party |
Waterloo Reporter: At present it
appears that democracy in Iowa is all
but exterminated.
Muscatine Journal: Iowa is erect as
usual 1t deserves to be spoken of as
the star that never sets.
Boone Republican: The democrats
are all down. They will be set up in
another alley two years hence.
Nevada Representative: The demo
cratic party has disappeared, at least
for the time, as an active opposition.
Fort Dodge Messenger: The vote
was expected to be light and it is
light, but the result shows that the
apparent decentralization of the dem
ocratic party is real
Keokuk Gate City: Iowa's vote was
cast in favor of the continuance of
good times. The same issues were
paramount as in 1900 and the verdict
of that year was affirmed.
Cedar Rapids Republican: The dem
ocrats sim ply did not vote. Free sill
yer has left them utterly demoraliZed
and the nomination of Phillips for gov
ernor was an insult TO state and a
party.
Webster City Freeman-Tribune: We
hope our third party prohibition
friends will not view with alarm the
100000 majority for Cummins. II is
unfortunate for them and for the
state and for the cause of temperance
that they were unable to elect Mr..
Phillips.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: When it
came to passing upon two United
States senatorships the voters of Iowa
voiced their wishes in tones that echo
all over the republic. Allison and
Dolliver will pretty near have their
commissions renewed by an unanimous
vote Iowa is solid and potential at
Washington and it proposes to remain
solid and potential.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: The result
of Tuesdays election illustrates to
what extent the republican party OF
Iowa is shipped at the edges, and indi-
Gates what the democrats have to
/ look for. A republican plurality OF
| 100000 is not calculated to create a
disturbance of faith in the party. What
is true of the state is true of the in
! divldual counties of the state.
Des Moines News: There is nc
longer doubt that he Mr.. Cummins1
is the strongest individual figure in the
Hawkeye state. He was stronger thar
the coterie of politicians who with
years of prestige and power behind
them bitterly contested his nomination
at Cedar Rapids. He is stronger witt
the people, as shown by Tuesdays
election, than any other leader who
has appeared in the history OF the
state.
Des Moines Capital: Whether thu
democratic party has now been suffi
GENTLY scourged to cause it to get it
eyes open and undertake to seek
higher level remains to be seen. TIL
; probabilities are, however, that if
state convention were to be held tc
morrow the democracy of Iowa, a
least, would wrap the bedraggled dra
perry of it's garments close about, an
plank itself down squarely upon tn
Kansas City platform.
: Des Moines Register: 1t is the Res
!. listers opinion that he Mr.. Cummins
will be a conservative governor in a
!, respects and not an extremist in an
: respect 1t is also to be expected tha
: he will be loyal to the party friend
: VINO aided him so energetically
:, gaining the nomination, but it is pro-
able that he will have no enemies
,, punish and that he will do his utmos
. to unity the party and maintain Iowa
:, government in the leadership Of til
state governments of the world.
= Harsholltown Times Republican
J, The overwhelming Endorsement of b
= course given Mr.. Cummins by the v
- tiers of Iowa is very gratifying to h
Il friends and admirers. He won h
y nomination by fight that for tin
: seemed destined to disrupt his part
:. but he was right and his opposite
= was unprincipled and wrong. Winnir
y his nomination in this way he was n
= turally very solicitous to heal Il
