In his speech at the Marquette Club
banquet Governor Cummins. of Iowa,
intimated that it was time for the re-
publicans to put up or shut up" as
regards reciprocity. If he declared,
what we have said means anything it
means that some or all of our reciprocal
treaties that are now before the sem
ate OF the United States. which have
been negotiated with infinite patience
and consummate ability. should be
ratified And he added, speaking for
the republicans of his own state:
eve are not for the idle dream of
reciprocity which takes everything and
gives nothing. Reciprocity Is bar
gain, and it is absurd to assume that
the countries with which we must
trade are either brainless or benevo-
lent"
That appeals to common sense of the
and those republicans who are
blocking the treaties, INDUCING in the
idle dream, and testing the patience of
the people with oft-repeated. but never
fulfilled promises, are far more injur-

All New England for Roosevelt.
rChicago Inter ocean.]


New England is now solid for Roose-
Welt in 1904 The strong Endorsements
of the earlier conventions in Maine and
Vermont We're ratified in the state
elections In August and September. The
republican conventions in Connecticut
and New Hampshire specifically de-
clared in favor of Roosevelt as presi-
Dental candidate on Sept. II.
The Massachusetts convention adopt
ed last week resolutions approving the
presidents policy, and pledging him
support now and in 1904. On Thursday
Rhode Island rounded out the record
by approving the presidents acts and
by urging his nomination in 1904.
AS New England has been the hotbed
of the anti-expanson movement, the
rallying of New England republicans to
the Roosevelt standard is even more
significant than the action of republi-
can conventions in the beet sugar states
of the west.
The presidential situation is, in fact,
without precedent. Two years before
the election in which the people are to
pass judgment on the administration, a
man originally elected as vice presi-
uenI has UeeIl lnQVISeu 10 SuCCeeu IlIIIl-
self in three-fourths of the republican
states.
Among these states are Oregon and
California on the Pacific coast, Iowa,
Nebraska, Illinois and Michigan, of the
middle west, New York in the east, and
a solid New England.
No other man who stepped from the
vice presidency to the presidency ever
succeeded in uniting a party SO COM
pletely in support of his administration
as has Theodore Roosevelt. Johnson
failed utterly in 1867. and Arthur, de-
spite his fine personal qualities and his
creditable administration, failed in
1881.
In Arthur's case the conventions were
friendly, but there We're no appeals for
his nomination. In the case Of Roose-
Welt, there are two years In advance of
the presidential campaign, harmony
and enthusiasm In the party and an al
most unanimous demand for his nom
ination.
The west is for him. the middle states
with him, and New England is as u SOL
id wall behind him.

The Hardin County Citizen is re-
minded by 1.-The continual outpouring of
SOUP of two Iowa dailies that "the So
called and self-styled old guard dies
but never surrenders."
AS to campaigning, the Dows Advo-
cate observes that "The experience in
past years has been that the school
house meetings are the vote makers and
this fact will undoubtedly be demons
trated again this year.
The Audubon Republican notices that
"rhe tendency Of our people is to buy
in what they think is the cheapest
market, even IL of a trust. Then when
they wake up and find the trust has
monopolized the market and put up the
price, they howl"
The Spirit Lake Beacon declares that
"Gilderoy's kite attained something of
an altitude, but it was not deuce high
as compared with the eminence to
which democratic hopes have been
knocked by the Iowa idea."'

The fact that farmers from Illinois
and Iowa are floclsing to Missouri is
causing some speculation in political
circles as to what effect the new ar
rivals will have politically on their re-
spectiye communities after they be-
come "naturalized." As Illinois and
Iowa are republican states, the ques-
ton which arises is will these farmers
prove to be republican evangelists or

On haggard face and form that dropped
and tainted
In the fierce race for wealth:
Till one arose. and from his packs scant

A boarded volume drew,
And cards were dropped from hands OF

To hear the tale anew.
And then, while round them shadows
gathered faster.
And as the freight fell,
He read aloud the book wherein the mas
ter
Had writ Of Little Nell
Perhaps twas boyish fancy, for the read
Was youngest OF them all.
But, as he read, from clustering pine and
cedar
A silence seemed to fall;
The fir trees. gathering closer in the shad-
ows.
Listened in every spray.
While the whole camp. with Nell on Eng
lish meadows
Wandered and lost their way.
And so in mountain solitudes. oertaken
AS by some spell divine.
Their cares dropped from them like the
needles shaken
From out the gusty pine.
Lost is that camp and wasted all its fire:
And he who wrought that spell?
All! towering pine and stately Kentish

Lost Is that camp; but let its fragrant

Blend with the breath that thrills
With hopvines incense all the pensive

And laurel wreaths intwine
Deem 1t not all a too presumptuous folly.
