IOWA NEWSPAPERS.
THE CURSE OF DRINK.
fEldora Herald.l


Another young man. a citizen of
Hardin county. has taken his leave of
this life via the accident route, and
like many others before him, the cause
can be traced directly 10 strong drink.
O, when will the rising generation be-
gin to see and heed the many awful
warnings that are presented almost
daily. and havs nothing to do with the
terrible stuff which destroys all rea-
son or begets dependency which leads
to self-destruction? When, oh when?
CATTLE. FEEDERS ILL LUCK.
tOgden Reporter.l
Many cattle feeders in Iowa are hav-
ing hard run of luck these days. Only
last week the Reporter was told of one
feeder who had just got back from
Chicago. where his sale Of fat cattle lost
him $780, besides all OF the corn he had
fed them. A feeder of .,sttle near Bel
mond told a writer that today he was
out 81 per head il he marketed than
now. Another man near this town paid
$4.45 for bunch of steers last fall, fed
them till two weeks ago and sold the
lot for 81 in Chicago last week. In
many towns they are shipping in corn
to feed, all of which, with the present
outlook has a tendency to make the
feeders blue and the srorekeepers to
dull trade. The redeeming
feature is the present high price of
hogs, which. of course. helps out cattle
feeding where 1.-THE hogs follow the
steers"

DEVELOPING GENiUSES.

Sir Oliver Lodge, an Englishman, has
suggested that cases of exceptional
genius, denied development thru pow
erty or lack of opportunity, should be
sought out, aided financially and as
sisted in DEVELOPMENT. His agitation OF
this idea has set people to talking and
excited the press to comment. Sir Oil
yer would seek out genius in its youth
and clear away from its path the sor-
did necessity of providing physical
comforts and necessary sustenance. He
has in view the abolition Of Grub street.
and the construction OF turnpike to
the heights of ultimate success. No
struggling poet should turn a trope that
he might have tripe, no Striving painter
splash his color upon canvas for the
price OF a cabbage.
1t is question whether genius might
not receive less benefit than hurt thru
Sir divers hopeful scheme We're it at
tempted. 1t may be doubted that real
genius may by any means be kept down.
Genius is a torch that when reversed
burns brighter for the reversal. The
stern endeavor which must precede
every great mental success has been
the real cause of the development of
much OF the greatness that the world
plan proposes to remove nave strength
ened the souls and built up the intel
lectual thews and sinews OF the great
who have surmounted them. The path
to great successes is bcset by thorns
and there are lions in the way. To pass
these safely seems the test of fitness.
Then again there is small lack of OPP
portunity for young men. The lack is
Of young men for the opportunities Of
leges and institutions where genius may
be developed. Their doors are wide
open to the earnest and deserving. 1t is
safe to say that no young man willing
to render service for service need fail
CT education along any line his instincts
and capabilities may lead him. There
are technical schools and institutes
where the price of tuition is a second
airy consideration and which are prac-
tlcally free. None who show capacity
and Willingness are turned away and
when the student has really fitted him
self for place in the worlds work
there is no lack of opportunity for a
demonstration of his fitness. The
world wants him at q price common
surate with his merits in fame and
money. Except in peculiar instances
every young man today is the t"archi-
tect of his own fortunes" Perhaps Sir
divers plan might develop talent
Genius develops itself.

AUTOMOBILE STREET CARS.

car employees 4 suggestion has been
made that If carried out may prove
1.-THE pioneer experiment in a reform
which the Times Republican believes
many of it's present readers will live to
see become adopted generally. Yester-
days news dispatches announced con-
ference between the chairman of the
strikers association ana Samuel Com
pers, of the American Federation of
Labor, to discuss a plan OF operating
automobile cars in competition with the
street car company and appealing to
public sympathy for the strikers to Sc
cure patronage for the automobiles.
The Times Republicans has heretofore
ventured the prediction that the de-
velopment of the automobile in Ameri-
can cities, where the asphalt pavement
abounds, would eventually supplant the
surface railways for street transit. Cor
porations operating rubber-tired auto
mobile cars could establish regular
routes and schedules and said cars
would whisk along oNar the smooth
to any part of the city.
Traffic would not be confined to few
streets, expensive franchises would be
necessary, enormous investments i'll
power houses would be cone away with
and cars could be operated with the
same frequency at even greater speed
than rail cars. The only increased eX-
pense would be In the amount of power
required to propel cars on ordinary

necessary to move the same load over

PRIMARIES IN POLK.

Those of US who think that our local
turn to Polk county for that relief often
referred to in the old saw that misery
loves company Polk county has jus.
held its republican primary election for
the selection of party nominees for
county offices and committeeman to ad-
minister and operate the party ma
chinery during the following year. The
one greatest point OF interest in the
results, judging from What is featured
in black headlines by the local newspa-
pers, is the fact that Judge Prouty's
friends have secured control OF the
county central committee, and for
what? Why, next year the voters at
the primary will select delegates to the
county convention, which IN turn will
select delegates to the district congress
sional convention, which latter will Sc
lect republican nominee for congress.
Judge Prouty expects to be a candidate
before that last convention and he real
ICES that he. must begin at next years
primaries by securing the selection of
his friends as delegates to the county
convention, and control of the election
for a fair show at any PRIMARY in Polk
county, so he begins this year to OBJ
tain control of the party committee.
Such is politics in Polk county. We
wonder what would be the condition
were the nominees and delegates all
chosen finally by the caucus and con-
central committee is thought necessary
in Polk county to prevent Captain
Hull's machine from perverting the free
will and choice of voters at a primary,
what hope would there be to prevail
against the machine in ward caucuses?
We have read with little sympathy
tenn set forth by Mr.. Thayer in Satur-
days "Looker-On." He believes that
the theory of the fathers in removing
legislation one step from the people
thru the machinery Of representative
body will hold good in the organization
cf a party, but experience has taught
tiiat these representative delegates do
not choose any more wisely than do the
oters at large. Unquestonabl does

Gent information to enable him to de-

referred to popular vote. In county
affairs, and especially in affairs con-

sonably presumed that every voter is
competent to select for himself the can :

ALLIsoN's UNEoUALED RECORD
1Clinton Herald.1

i
On the second day of this month,
Senator William b. Allison of Iowa,
celebrated at Washington his seventy
fourth birthday. Thursday he COM
pleted the thirtieth year of continuous
service in the United States senate,
and today he entered on his sixth
term, a record never before held by
any man in the United States.
John Sherman served nearly six
terms, but not consecutive He left
the senate to enter Hayes cabinet,
and also to become a member of Presi-
dent Mckinley's cabinet.
Senator John p. Jones of Nevada,
completed five successive terms yes
terday, but he has not been reelected.
as has Senator Allison. Senators
Jones and Allison entered the senate
the same day and have labored side
by side for over a quarter of cen
fury.
On the democratic side of the SEN
late, Mr.. Cockrell, of Missouri, Is the
nestor. He has served for twenty
eight consecutive years. and if he lives
two years longer will have served
three decades.
AT the present time Senator Allison
is hale and hearty and all appearances
indicate he will serve out his term
just commenced. Furthermore, it is
hoped he will be in good health six
years hence and be honored with an
other election. in which event, Iowa
would probably hold the record
until the end of time.
For many years Senator Allison has
been one of the most conspicuous fig
ures in the public life of this nation.
Without question of doubt. he is the
most trusted and the most loved man
today in the United States upper
house. He is at the head Of the COM
mittee on appropriations and his
rare Judgment, conservatism and pa
triotic loyalty to his country has build
ed for him name which time can not
obliterate from the minds of the Amer
lean people.
On more occasions than one Sena-
tor Allison has been prominently be-
fore the people as q presidential cam
didate and in connection with his
wonderful career the fact that he was
not elected to the highest Office within
the gift of the people, is the only cause
of regret on the part of the residents
of Iowa and doubtless the entire Uni
ted States. However, circumstances
have not been favorable to Mr.. Allison
from this standpoint. and after all per-
haps his life as one of the leaders of
the senate has been of more benefit to
his countrymen than had he served a
term or two as president of the United
States. His usefulness has covered |
an unbroken period of thirty years.
and today he has the distinction of
being the nestor of the greatest law
making body in the history of the
world. What greater honors could |
mortal desire?
