careing for its men the moment the strike is declar-
ed. The men have been contributing something
to this fund for just such an emergency and now
they are ready. Some democrats will attempt to
make capital out of the strike and say that our
boosted prosperity has not helpedthe workingmen.
President Shaffer refutes this when he says that
the strikers have ample funds and that this will be
a fight to a finish. Again, the great steel mills are
rushed with orders; they need every man and the
men know it and know also that this is the best
time for their efforts to obtain concessions. Such
"a strike could not have taken place in the demo-
cratic hard times. The men would have been anx-
ious to hold their jobs at any wages and the manu-
facturers would have been glad of an excuse to
close down and thus shut off the expense. We do
not know the right of the present case but we give
it as an added proof of republican prosperity that
the workingmen are now able to go into battle even
with the biggest businesscombine the world ever
saw.

A LIFE ENDED.

Hon. T.. S. Parvin died last week at his home in
Cedar Rapids. For many years he has occupied a
unique position as the father of Masonry in this
state and as the most capable collector of docu-
ments relative to the states history. While others
have been making history he recorded and pre-
served it. He was a man with a hobby His was
not a strenuous life according to the modern ac-
~ceptation of the term but he has left a much more
indelible impress than many who have striven
with might and main for riches and for fame. This
leads US to question whether the gospel of s'stren-
as taught by Roosevelt is after all to be-
come the highest ideal of American citizenship.
We all admire the fighter. There is something in
humanity which admlres impetuosity and fervor
even though the cause be bad or Improbable.
The strenuous life is not conducive to content; it
is not always conducive to the best morals. 1t is
apt to lead to the idea that the end justihes the
means. That is of course the wrong kind of siren
uousness but the greatest trouble with reforms is
that the followers seldom grasp the full plan of the
leader and accept only the outward symbols of his
faith or the baser elements of it without compre-
hending the saving clauses. Ii the strenuous life
is interpreted to mean only an unrenitting struggle
to gain ones ends it is the most dangerous doctrine of
the century. For unless the aims are lofty and
ideal every violence OF tIe struggle Out dQQS TO
the evil. Without ambition man becomes like the
East Indian, accepting passlvely whatever is, with
out effort for the Improvement either of himself or
of his kind. The old question arises, s'what are
proper ambitions, for what should men lead this
strenuous life?'' The Christian answers, ssSeek We
first the kingdom of God" For our part we wish
the text had stopped there, the remainder of that
text has caused confusion and distrust. "And all
other things shall be added unto you" There is a
prospect of reward which each man pictures to
himself. He sees the man who is striving for the
kingdom of God poor and unhonored by his fellow
men; he sees him overwhelmed with sickness and
with trouble, and he says, sWhat other things have
been added unto him." The kingdom of God, the
kingdom of doing right, should need no added
gifts. The moment a man does right for the sake
of these added gifts he loses his highest virtue and
merit. The child who is good either through the
hope of reward or the fear of punishment deserves
not nearly so we'll as he who does right for the love
of righteousness.
We know many men whose lives have been more
strenuous than Mr.. Parvin's; many men who have
reached higher on the ladder Of fame and of riches,
but the ma iority of these men will have been for
gotten while his name shall still live in Iowa his
tory.

THE WISE COURSE.

There has been some r%uAbling throughout the
state about the position taken by the Tenth district
statesmen, Governor Shaw, Senator Dolliver and
Congressman Conner, in the present gubernatorlal
campaign. Leaders of both factions of the party
have urged that they take an active part in their
favor and have been inclined to find fault that they
did not do so. Early in the campaign these gen
tlemen announced their policy of neutrality and
non-interference. There was no candidate from
the Tenth district, and there was no candidate who
was not worthy of the support of his republican
friends. The only excuse these men could have
had for entering the contest would have been if
some man from this district should have asked sup
port or if there had been some candidate in the
field whose nomination would have been a menace
to the party. These conditions did not exist and
we believe the policy of Shaw, Dolliver and Con-
ner, that 1t was not their business to try to inhu-
ence their friends for or against any particular
candidate has been not only wise for them person
ally but for the interests of the party as a whole. The
Des Moines Capital announces that Gov. Shaw
will attend the state convention. This does not
mean that he will attempt to influence its proceed
ings. Had he been absent he would have been
criticised and his presence will undoubtedly call
forth criticism. 1t would seem to us, however,
that the republican governor of Iowa is not out of
place at a republican state convention and that the
republican workers of Iowa will be glad to meet
him there. We believe that the action of these
three Tenth district leaders has been helpful
throughout the state in softening the rigor of fac
tional strife and that they have done the party
more real service by remaining neutral than they
would have by entering the field in favor Of any
candidate or any element.

ALLISON N A
(Algona Upper Des Moines.

Talk about a successor to President Mckinley is
easily set agoing by his positive utterance on the
third term question. Iowans naturally turn toward
such men as Senator Allison. He was mentioned
four and eight years ago. This bringing out of
lowa's senior senator as a presidential candidate
was not idle talk so far as real republican senti-
ment in the state was concerned. If Iowa could
have had the presidency there has been no time
during several years past when Senator Allison
would not have been accorded the honor without
even so much as a protest. His clean record, the
ability shown in. his work as a public man, and his
strong personality have easily put HIM in a position
to command the united support of Iowa republi-
cans.
1t is useless to say that Mr.. Allison, or any other
man who is equipped for the duties of the office,
would not like to become president. But Mr.. Al
llson is a wise man; he is even wise in his declin-
ing years, which is something that cannot always
be said of old men. He is wise enough to know
that a man of IS will net only not be nominated,
but that most men at that time in life would be I'M
equal to the task imposed. 1t is vastly to the
credit of any man who can take this view of the
temptation that is offered in the possibility of a
nomination for the presidency. Mr.. Allison can
yet be of much benefit to his state and the nation
in his position as senator. No one knows this
better than Mr.. Allison himself, and in his wisdom
he prefers to round out an honorable career in his
present place.
But Mr.. Allison, while putting aside the possible
honor for himself, is yet loyal to his home state.
He sees that the honor might, under some condi-
tons, come to an Iowa man, in which event his
choice, in common with a large element of the re-
publicans, would be Gov. Shaw. The present ex-
ecutive of this state has already attained a national
reputation, which is saying a good deal for one who
has come into political prominence, comparatively,
within a few years. He has shown himself of such
unquestloned capacity that Senator Allison has re-
Gently written him a letter, in which he reviews
the matter carefully and expresses the belief that
the presidency ought to come to Iowa. Following
this is his conclusion that Gov. Shaw is the logical
candidate. The news reports say that his letter is
snot only cordial but hopeful in the extreme, and
pledges Senator Alison's support to Gov. Shaw
Stranger things have happened than that the
next national convention may turn to Iowa for a
candidate. If SO, there will be no dissent among
Iowa republicans. Gov. Shaw would receive the
heartiest kind of endorsement. The one thing that
has heretofore stood in the way of an Iowa mans
availability is the fact that Iowa's Ioo,o 900 plurality
would be cast for the republican candidate, who
ever he might be, and the tendency therefore has
been to put the nomination where the result at
election time would otherwise be doubtful. That
condition may exist yet, and it may be the chief
factor that will work against an Iowa candid ate.
