IOWA'S FORTY-THIRD.

If wednesday night the Iowa idea had carelessly
exposed its vulnerable heel to the Republicans of the
Forty-third Iowa Senatorial District death would
have been the result, for at meeting in the public
park of Mason City, there prepared whole culver
of resolutions, barbed and venomous.
While the brass band sweetly playing, the
picnic gathering framed up resolutions commencing
President Roosevelt on his administration, and
pecally his conspicuous curbng Of the trusts COM
mendng long roster of local lights and finally almost
in the same BREATH asking for the denomination of
Governor Cummins and declaring that any who
at the present time attacked the Dingey bill attacked
not only the Republican party, but also the present
prosperity.
No mention is made of the fact that Governor
Cummins identified with the Iowa idea, and
that he attacked the present tariff system in series
of speeches which in print would reach from Mason
City to Manitoba. Presumably it intended to
forgive and forget altogether and at declare that
having INDUCED SURPRISING magnanimty upon this
single OCCASION the pcnickers would deal far differ
emily with future offenses.
One shudders to think of the punishment which
the Forty-thrd District would prescribe for any WHO
dared attack the Dingey bill and not only the Re-
publican party but the present prosperity For. and
abideth the Dingley BILL the Republican party
and prosperity these three; but the greatest of
is prosperity.

YOUNG GIRL SHOWS TALENT
AS SHORT STORY WRITER.
Virginia Bunch, a Columbia School
Graduate, Attracts Attention of
Her Teachers.

Virginia Katherine Bunch. who has Just
been graduated from tho Columbia School,
has a reputation as writer OF short
stories. Although only IA years old. her
productions are read with interest. not only
by her classmates, but by older persons.
One of her favorite stories is that founded
on an experience Of her grandmother, Mrs.
Branet.
Mrs. Branet lived in St Louis when it was
village. She owned a particularly large
sheet. which. when a Death occurred among
the French Inhabitants. was borrowed to
cover the corpse.
The little girl has woven around the old
story sketch which tells of the power
which was supposed to be attached to the
sheet. and of the belief that one covered

NATIONAL DOODLE ISSUE.

Washington's scandal disclosures are the main tonic
of general discussion in the United States to-day.
And the PostOce Department is the political storm
center.
Many political developments excite the peoples
interest for an hour day, month. Within the past
half-year any number of minor questions have been
considered in relation to national issues and have faded
out of memory and there are numerous small lis
Sues to-day of which, in 1904, the people doubtless
will have but faint recollection There but few
public questions which contain the substance and
size of issues
Government scandals are not the stuff of which
dreams are made. They do not fade out without
leaving an impression and the present scandals have
not reached the waning stage. a Grand Jury has
just been put in operation. There have been several
indictments. and the new daily disclosures indicate
enough material to employ an honest jury for many
months to come. The Government scandals. an is

TIDE AND UNDERTOW.

There is tide in the affairs of presidential candi
dates which, taken at the food, leads on to election
but which like other tides is treacherous and difficult
OF gauging To take it at the flood is easy. be-
cause of the lack of human foresight to anticipate
foodtme Just what the tide will do for Mr. Roose-
welt is doubtful.
The tide of popularity is doublenatured. The peo-
pies good will is thing; the favor of politicians
is another. confluence of the two means a power
full current Mr.. ROosevelt's tide has never combined
both elements to the full For time the people bore
him along but the political influences were sweeping
against him. Then he managed to turn the poli.
ticians in his favor.
In sense Roosevelt Is popular to-day, but the
tide bearing him is force composed of the machine
politicians and the various newspapers which respond
TO their suggestion. At the of their turn in
his favor six months ago. there occurred perceptibe

Against the front of Pettigrew;
A khamsin wind that scorched and
singed
Like that Internal fame that fringed
The British squares at Waterloo!
A thousand fell where Kemper led:
A thousand died where Garnett bled:
In binding flame and strangling smoke
The remnant through the batteries
broke
And crossed the works with Armistead.
"Once more in glorys van with me-"
Virginia cried to Tennessee.

Shall stand upon these works to-day.
The reddest day in histcry!'
Brave Tennessee! In reckless way
Virginia heard her comrades say:
"CIose round this rent and riddled ragr'
What time she set her battle flag
Amid the guns of Doubleday.
But who shall break the guards that wait
Before the awful face of Fate?
The tattered standards of the South
Were shriveled at the lannon's mouth.
And all her hopes were desolate.
In vain the Tennessean set
His breast against the bayonet.
In vain Virginia charged and ragged.
A tigress in her wrath uncaged.

Men saw gray, gigantic ghost
Receding through the battle cloud,
And heard across the tempest loud
The death crX of nation lost!
The brave went down, Without disgrace
They leaped to ruins red embrace,
They only heard fames thunders wake.
Ard saw the dazzling sunburst break
In smiles on Glory's bloody face!
They fell who lifted up a hand
And babe the sun in heaven to stand!
They smote and fell. who set the bars
Against the progress of the stars.
And stayed the march of Motherland!
They stood who saw the future come
On through the fights deiirium!
They smote and stood who held the
hope
OF nations on that slippery slope
Amid the cheers of Christendom.

That clutched and held that trembling

God lives and reigrs! He built and lent

Love rules. Her gentler purpose runs.
