STILL cLINalNe TO FREE SILVER


The Iowa democrats ''reaffirm the
principles OF the democratic national
platform adopted at Kansas City. AS
1t is the expressed belief OF the party
that the coming campaign is particu-
iarly one that should be confined to
state issues, there is nothing to be
gained by the reaffirmation of certain
OF the dead and buried doctrines of
the Kansas City PLATFORM. Since the
Iowa democrats felt themselves oblie-
ed to refer TO other than state issues,
they would have acted more wisely if
they had repudiated free silver" and
''anti-imperialism, and put forward
some national issue which has little
vitality
The Iowa democracy. which never
has HAD much weight in party coun-
sells, threw away an opportunity to
count for something. Apparently the

AN INTERESTING RELIC.

Judge Withrow in looking over some
of the old papers which belonged to
his father, the late A. ]. Witlrow,
found an interesting paper. being a
letter from Governor Kirkwood TO Col
onel Russey who was then adjutant
general of the state, dated July u,
1861, asking il it was at all possible to
send some arms to Salem as it was
much feared there that a mob would
come up from Missouri and attack the
town.
Governor KirllwOod added in his let
ter that Salem was strong railroad
town and that the southerners were
very likely to attack such places What
the governor meant by this was that
Salem was strong underground rail-
road point for there was no railroad
there at that time. There was strong
anti-slavery feeling in Salem, and
many fugitive slave was assisted
through the town and on to the north.
Although Missouri band OF raiders
came within a few miles of Salem at
one time and threw the town into a
panic, the place was never attacked

of partisan republicanism, he dared
become a candidate for the legislature
on the anti-prohibition ticket, and, be-
ing endorsed by the democrats, was
elected, most ran,arkab BILE and signi-
ficaut victory. Since that time Mr..
Cummins has been fought with al
most venomous bitterness by the old
leaders. and has been defeated twice
for the United States senatorship and
twice for the governorship by reason of
this old feeling. in spite of the fact
that he mas been in thorough accord
with his party for eight years and has
done valiant and brilliant work for it
in all state and municipal contests
Mr.. Cummins' success at Cedar Rap
ids few days ago. in which he tri-
umphed over not only the fanatical
element, but what has been known as
the state machine, was therefore
notable and epochal. There is, we are
advised, not the least doubt of Mr..
Cummins' election. Several of the
leading newspapers of the state will
support him, especially as the plat
form contains new matter on the vital
issues opposing the trusts and the
policy of the Platt amendment in re-
gard to Cuba. He will thus draw very
many more votes from the opposition
party than he will lose from the fanat-
ical elements inn his own. Thus all
those who rejoice in liberality of
thought and its expressions should be
| pleased at his success.

was Judge Spurrier and many more
who have not heretofore called them
selves democrats. Some who had
not appeared III a democratic conven-
ton since 1896 We're there, hoping 10
regain the old party from the hands
of populism. The battle royal came
on the adoption of the platform. Tie
issue was drawn between old time do
mocracy and Organism, populists. en-
republicans and aggressive democrats
wanted Organism. The old guard and
conservative young men wanted old
time democracy. To the disgust OF
the latter. the former won and the
party was re-baptized in Bryanism.
1t is to be presumed that a vast ma
iority of that convention took no stock
in free silver or the Kansas City plat-
form. Twice has that party gone TO
pieces on that aggregation of crazy
isms. But it was thought unwise TO
break away and ALLEVIATE The new re-
cruits of the last four years, and it
would Jar" them off to repudiate their
rejected and worse than useless isms.
and cause them to flock by themselves
in third party. In limited sense
this is true. But in the mean time
there are thousands of old time demo
Gratis who refuse to return to the old
party, while it espouses free silver Or
is dominated by populistic recruits
whom they suspect. Those old liners
are voting the republican ticket and
each year are becoming more ami
more acclimated in republican atmos-
phere. The habit of voting the re-
publican ticket is becoming more deep
seated every year and is apts to get
fixed while the democrats are giving
populists and eX-republicans sugar
coated pills. In their fear to Jar
loose this latter element an alarming
loss of conservative democrats is be-
ing incurred.
Nothing is clearer than the feeling
of total abandonment that prevailed
in last weeks convention. 1t is plain
that the convention realized the ma
jority in the state and the utter hope
| lessness of the situation The CON
tests of a few years ago are manifest
| ly useless and the impractcability Of
organized opposition to the dominant
party was painfully apparent, hence
| the feeling of abandonment.

DO BOYS PAY?


Somebody has figured out that the
average boy who is dependent upon
his parents for a. livelihood until he
reaches the age of u years costs his
parents $4,000. On this basis of cal
culation a brood. for instance, Of six
boys will represent an outlay of s24,-
900 by the time they get away from the
home roost. The question naturally
arises, does it pay to raise boys, and
are there not other crops that will
prove more proftable9 If boy turns
out to be cigarette fiend, with a
breath like a turkey buzzard and a
laugh that would make the wild and
untutored donkey feel perfectly at
home in his society, aud with an un
trammeled and unconquerable desire
to avoid work. it is safe to say that
the parent might have invested his
81 900 to Il much better advantage
But ii the boy grows mp to manhood
with the lesson well learned that
wealth ard success grow only on
bushes that are watered by sweat Of
ones brow, the parents need not be
grrldge whatever they have spent on
him. for he will be a source Of increas
ing pride and Joy to their hearts. and
when they are old and their hands
tTemhle and their legs wabble and
their step is slow and faltering they
will have two strong arms to lean upon
and help them over the rough places

as a matter of private concern chief
ly, no regular public tribunal for the
adjustment OF these grievances s pro-
vided; or in other words when one
does exist, it is not clothed with suf-
ficient power. An attempt to secure
the satisfaction OF desire by force
must take place. Then the wage
earners cease to work. and use their
utmost endeavors to induce others of
their craft to refrain from taking the
places which they have left. Their
hope is through the infection of pen
atty on their employer; namely a Pc
cnniary loss that will occur because of
the idleness OF their business. The
employers on the other hand trust
that the pressure of need which in
many cases soon becomes hunger, may
force the wage earners to come to
their terms. Here we have war for
better terms. We will cali 1t an indus
trial war, as We have two parties az
raigned against eacl other, in dead
ly conflict, each aiming for supremacy.
This line of thought naturally sug-
gests to us an extension of public au-
thority in such a manner. that proVis-
ion may be made for the settlement
of controversies that arise between
employers and employees. As it must
be borne III mnd that these industrial
disputes with their resulting indus
trial warfare are no longer private mat
tiers. In early times the private inter
est was the most dominant one, be-
cause production was chiefly an indi-
vidual matter

ceediug rapidly for more than a gen

with this consolidation Is our so call

to pass that few men, so few they

time direct the employment of q large

try. This means economic solidity
