WE declare our solemn belief that
the attorney general OF the United
States in his Interpretation of that law
1.-THE canteen one) and the secretary
OF war in his acceptance of that in
depreciation and his refusal to enforce
the law, were and are guilty CT trea-
sonable notification thereof, and that
President Mckinley, through his assent
to the endorsement of that interpreta-
ton and refusal, on the part of the
officials appointed by and responsible
to him, shows responsibility in their
guilt, and we record our conviction
that a new and serious peril confronts
our country, in the fact hat its presi-
dent, at the behest of the beer power,
dare and does abrogate a law of con-
gress, through subordinates removable
at will by him and whose acts become
his, and thus virtually confess that
laws are to be administered, or to be
nullified in the intent of a law defying
business, by an administration under
mortgage to such business for sup
port"
All the nation is mourning the un-
timely death of President Mckinley.
Democrats and Republicans alike are
testlfying to the uprightness of his
character and the purity of his mo-
tives. The attack upon him in the Pro-
hibition state platform finds no de-
tenders. Yet it is the same sort of
an attack as is being made on Mr..
Cummins, a man whose private life
and public record are, like those of
the martyred president, above re-
proach.

The Democratic campaign thus far
has been confined to h%andshaking
by Candidate Phillips and the Issuance
OF interviews and literature" by
Frank @. Stuart of Charlton, who is
in charge of the Democratic state
headquarters. Mr.. Stuart's literature
is all along n line. It consists of a
general charge of extravaganza and
m~alfeasance in Office against the Re-
publican administration. State Treas.
urer Gilbertson's report for the year
ending July 1, 1901, just issued, con
talns in succinct form the best an
swer to Mr.. Stuart's charges. The re-
port covers the biennial period which
is the basis of all state accounts.
During the two years involved the
states business amounted to $685.
O61.91. One year ago July 1, 1900.
the cash balance in the treasury

1901, there was in the treas
ury $1,143,888.17, an Increase
Vi POOo,ooO.fU. LIE showing lis n
not to be equaled elsewhere IN the
union and is in itself a definite answer
to the indefinite charge of extrava-
gance brought by the Democratic
central committee through Mr.. Stuart
against the recent Republican admin
istration in Iowa. The cash balance
in the treasury at the present time is
the largest in the history of the state
and Iowa's financial affairs have al
ways been administered in an eco
nomical manner.
Mr.. Cummins, in his speech at Len
OK, Monday afternoon Of this week,
spoke as follows on the subject of
taxation:
Generally speaking, evolution is
better than revolution. I am q firm !
believer in growth and development, !
whether applied to the methods of
business, the rules of commerce., or
the laws which society prescribes for
Its own protection. There are two
classes of persons equally valueless to
