When Mr.. Gallup sat down for the
evening, he had his newspaper on his
knee and Mrs. Gallup was singing
Rock Of Ages" and clearing away the
supper table. He had been reading for
a quarter of an hour when she quietly
entered and sat down and said:

nor make you feel bad, but feel oblig-
night at midnight Mrs. Watkins saw .
light moving around in our back yard.

be death in this house within a week.
It'll be my death, Of course. I've got

but I'm not weepin over 1t. I'm sittin
right here as calm as catnip, but

Mr.. Gallup must have known Of her
presence, but he was too deeply inter-
ested in his paper to recognize 1t. He
had found an article which said that a
bedbug could be boiled in water for
four hours and then come out with his
ambition undaunted.

Gov. Shaw Declines.


The following letter from Gov.
Shaw appeared in Tuesdays Register
State of Iowa, Executive Office, Des
Moines, Feb. A, 1901.-Ed. Register
The first mention of my name for a
third term having appeared editorially
in The Register, it is due that its edi-
Tor shall be the first to receive formal
statement of my position. This was
unnecessary until after the decision of
the supreme court on the Titus amend
ment, and now I avail myself of the
first hour in my Office after this decision
to say: have been urged by very
many friends throughout the state, and
not q few beyond, to become at least a
receptive candidate. The people of
Iowa have been exceedingly kind to
me, and ! ought not rudely to treat
their more recent expressions of regard.
But political precedent, the prompt
ings of my heart, the wishes Of my
family, and my deliberate judgment,
all lead to the same conclusion.
must, therefore, decline to be candi-
date or to allow the use of my name,
or to accept the nomination under any
circumstances, or however unanimous
ly:tendered. Yours sincerely,
LESLIE NJ. SHAW.
Thus is put at rest the talk of the
Governor for third term. The letter
is manly, straightforward and clear.
We think the position be takes is
greatly to his credit. He respects the
lprecedents and customs already made
in our state and declines to attempt to
interfere with them.
We are great believer in Shaw.
We think that he has abundance
Of ability, courage and manhood
and that he has made reputation as
governor that will place his name
honorably alongside with those OF
Grimes, Kirkwood, Gear and Larribee.
Today il is doubtful il another Cover,
nor in the Union has the reputation
in the country that he has. He is one
of the strongest men on the stump and
platform that there is in the country
He is an astute politician as well
as q statesman. He is assured Of
political future whether he is
governor third term or not.
Since he has declined to be candi
date it will leave the field open to all
who desire to enter and il is likely
there will be several. We earnestly
hope the contest will not be drawn on
the lines of the last senatorial fight
Whoever undertakes to keep those lines
preserved deserves ignominious defeat

Gov. Beckham has ordered troops to
Hopkins county, KY, to preserve order
and protect the non union miners. We
are not prepared to criticize the young
Governor, but in all such cases both
sides should be inquired into before
the government takes sides. We are
opposed to riotous conduct We are
opposed to one man interfering with
or attempting to prevent another man
from working. But before the gov
eminent sends its soldiers to protect a
corporation, that corporation should
be made to show clean hands. A cor
poration that belongs to a trust. or
that has combined in any shape. form
or fashion to arbitrarily fix the price
of its products. or the wage of labor, or
against the law, should be denied any
protection under the law. What is
the difference in law and morals, be-
tween dozen capitalists meeting II

and there conspiriDg and agreeing to
violate the law. or as many anarchists
meeting and conspiring to overthrow

other; and one is no more entitled TO

judge whether heredity is stronger
