TWO DIVIDED PARTIES.

Marion Register: In "a speech be-
fore the Polk county republican con-
vention, Saturday, Governor Cummins
reiterated and accumulated his devo-
ton to the misnamed iowa idea con-
tanned in the shelter resolution of the
1903 state platform, and declared that
he will do everything possible to have
it incorporated in the 1904 national
republican platform. If the govern
or's idea" is to antagonize the repub-
lican sentiment of the nation, he will
fail If he wants to succeed in the
incorporation of what the Dubuque
Telegraph truthfully calls orthodox
democracy" in a national platform he
should submit it to the democratic
national convention 1t would be
adopted with shout like that which
followed Col. Bryan's "crown of thorns
and cross of gold" impassioned speech
before the democratic national conven'
ton of 1896. 1t looks now as though
there is to be two divided parties in
Iowa-the republican as well as the
democratic.

THE GOVERNORS LATEST.

Cedar Rapids Republican: In one
breath he declares that he is going to
appeal to the next republican national
convention and carry the fight into
that high court-and in the next
breath he VOWS he stands for simon
pure protection. If he stands for 81
mon pure protection, what fight has he
to carry into the national convention
The governor is one of the most ex-
pert generalizers in the politics of the
day and as the late Tom Reed said,
quoting from the Latin, terror turks
in generalities."
He talks bravely of competition, but
he was never placed in life where he
was responsible for weekly pay roll
in manufacturing or productive in
dustry. He talks about reciprocity in
competitive articles as well as in
non-competitive ones, at a time when
such an expert legislator as Senator
Cullom has reached the conclusion
that reciprocity even in non-competi.
tive articles is impracticable because
it is impossible to get the two-thirds
majority necessary in the senate. A
party seldom has two-thirds of the
senate and it is impossible to expect
much support from the other party.
But these are mere details OF legis

REFORM FROM WITHIN.

Des Moines Register and Leader
The organization OF total abstinence
society among the bartenders of Chica-
go has brought out the information
that fully one-third of the bartenders
and saloon owners of that city are to-
tai abstainers. The president of the
new society is William Fl. Dorgan, who
has been connected with the liquor
business in Chicago for more than
thirty years. "Rartenders and employ.
ers too, should be total abstainers," he
says. 'If man behind the bar
drinks with one man he drinks with
all. He must be either total abstain
er or ultimately become drunkard.
have never taken drink since l have
been employed in saloon, and new
err expect to-"
1t is said that in many Of the larger
saloons of the city the proprietors will
not employ man who drinks Refer
ence has often been made to the TEN
perance lesson which railway corpor
ations and other big employers of la
Dor have taught by refusing to EN-
ploy drinking men. But it would seem
that such lessons were a mere kinder
garten exercise in the presence of q
post graduate course at Oxford wher
compared with the lesson taught by &
total abstinence barkeepers' society

airy sagacity what is to be said OF those

HAS IMPROVED THE AVERAGE.

Richmond Times: The manner
of slavery was infamous, but
all southern men are glad that
slavery is no more. 1t was curse in
stead of a blessing to the south The
shacliles were not upon the negroes
alone. The whites were also slaves
to the custom, and all of us are now
glad that the shackles have been
broken, and that the south is free.
The net result of the change is to
improve the average. The south is
not producing SO many men who stand
out head and shoulders above their fell
lows, but there has been a general up
lift Of the people, there are more,
many more, little great men, than
ever before, there are many more men
of moderate means, and everybody
knows that the aggregate wealth and
the per capita wealth has increased
enormously. There is now no idle
class. Our young men are all at work
and are proud of it. Our public schools
are no longer the schools of the poor
only, but the schools of all classes
and in some sections private schools
cannot be maintained because the
public schools supply every need.

select national delegates, and without
anything to rally his friends there is
"a possibility that administration in
f1uences might control the state con-
vention that will meet early next year.
The governor wants to control that
convention and to name the Iowa
members of the national committee,
and thus be better prepared to at
tack the Iowa congressman and get
such men as Secretary Wilson and
Secretary Shaw out of commission.
Possible the republicans of Iowa
may just smile at the bombastic
Iegotism of the governor. and let him
cut his caDers to his hearts content,
and then again they may take up the
challenge he has issued, and let him
know that as between an Iowa COVER
Iner talking rank democratic doctrines
and President Roosevelt, they are for
the President of the United States.
! That is the issue and Iowa republicans
must soon decide whether they still
sit idly by and permit war to be
made upon the President of the United
States, or assert themselves and let
the country know that Iowa still
remembers and .-oLors Mckinley, and
| is in full sympathy with President

INSISTS ON HIS IDEA.

Fairfield Ledger: 1t is to be regret
ted that Governor Cummins should
seek to again inject the question of
tariff revision into Iowa republican
politics. 1t can be nothing but dis
cussion of schedules at best, for Gov
ernor Cummins himself maintains that
he stands by the principle of protec-
ton. 1t can breed only strife and dis
sension and give comfort to the COM
mon enemy Iowa republicans, if they
were to stand as a man for tariff revi-
sion, could not effect it. That is the
work of congress. More than that,
Iowa republicans alone are not going
to write the national platform of next
year upon which the party in the ma
ton must stand, and which will be tho
true test of republicanism.
In all probability there is not a re
publican in all Iowa who believes thai
the present tariff law is perfect and
that it must not some time be revised
All are not united, however, on the
matter of schedules, reciprocity with
Canada and other details. Why make
contest over these matters, to thell
own injury, when national conven
ton will soon settle the question fol
all of them, if they are loyal to theil
party?

lation and the governor of Iowa deals
only in generalities and ideas" He
is a great man in these latter re-
spects.
There has never been in the history
of this country revision of the tariff
without a long drawn out, protracted
struggle, involving wide spread uncer-
tainty in business circles, uniform de-
preston in all industries and hard
times. Are the republicans of Iowa
ready to enter upon a policy so soon
after a general revision of the tariff,
which of necessity will again bring
about these unfortunate conditions
Are We ready to take the chances of
throwing disturbing element into our
complex business conditions when ev-
erything is reasonably satisfactory
everywhere? If ills, there be is it not
better to bear them than to fly to 9th
ers which experience has taught us
all too well are to be avoided? Are
we to look forward to continual tariff
agitation? Is five or six years the limit
of industrial peace in this country?

cuMMINs AND THE PLATFORM.

Marshalltown Times-Republican Re
ferring directly to the much criticised
phrase in the platform the governor
makes clear distinction that has
been persistently evaded by his critics.
He believes that modern trust develop
ment cannot be checked by legislation
and does not expect to kill trust by
removing a tariff schedule but he does
believe that when tariff protected in
dustry becomes controlled by any mo-
nopoly, corporate or private, it should
no longer enjoy the benefits of tar
iff law passed to encourage lawful in
dustry. Cummins believes that when
monopoly does the producing the
consumers SO greatly outnumber the
real producer that they have the bet
ter right to competition than the pro-
Queer to protection. In this the en-
lightened sentiment of Iowa republic
cans will endorse him. The speech
was careful, conservative, safe and
the best expression Of progressive re-
publicanism that has yet been made.

MAKES WAR ON ROOSEVELT.

Iowa City Republican: Iowa stands
high in republican councils. 1t has
long been noted for it's conservatism.
1t has more men of real national
standing than any other state, except
Ohio. 1t is well known that not one
of the Iowa republicans of national
reputation are in sympathy with the
position assumed by the governor, and
his denomination and reelection and
possible control of the convention
next year, is notice to the nation at
large that Iowa republicans policies
as supported by Grimes, Harlan, Kirk
wook, Hiram Price, James F. Wilson,
Gear, Allison, Dolliver, Shaw, James
Wilson, Henderson, Lacey, Hepburn,
Hull and all the other Iowa congress-
men, with possible a single exception.
lit is well known that President Roose-
welt is not in sympathy with Iowa's
governor, and everybody of the least
bit of sense knows that the national
convention will no more indorse his
tariff position than it will free coinage
Iof silver, for there is no more
lrepublicanism in the one than in the
other. a.
| The reason for this assault upon the
President and the national leaders is
apparent Governor Cummins thinks
| he has a pretty firm hold on state
politics and he proposes to hold that
control even if it wrecks the national
party and makes the next president
| a democrat. Ordinarily the congress
men and government officials are
quite powerful in conventions thai

GREAT FIELD OF REFORM.

Indianapolis News: Next to the
problem of municipal government,
that of getting decent legislatures is
the most difficult and pressing. The
people are often good natured and
careless enough to take the candi--
dates estimate of himself In other
cases men are nominated and elected
as the representatives of certain in
terests-railroad and other-so that
the lobby is really made up in part of
members of the legislature. Here is
a field where reform is greatly need
ed OF course, there is no patent de-
vic by which the needed change can
be wrought. The only remedy that
can be applied is in the hands of the
people themselves. 1t is to be hoped
that they will use it before long. The
business of legislating for such state
as Indiana is a serious matter. 1t
cannot safely be entrusted to inexperi-
enced or corrupt men, or to men who
have interests that conflict with the
public interest

UNFAIR TO THE JUDGE.

Muscatine Journal-The opposition
of organized labor to the appointment
of Judge Smith Mcpherson as Judge
OF the circuit court Of the eighth Unit
ed States district because he issued an
Injunction against the Union Pacific
railroad strikers is not worthy OF union
men. 1t is true that Judge Mcpherson
had certain amount OF discretion in
issuing the writ but as long as the law
gives him latitude in this respect the
law should be blamed and not the
judge. The Journal is not singing
out Judge Mcpherson in order to de-
fend him nor is it a particular admirer
OF the injunction as weapon against
labor. The principle THAT the injunc-
ton is necessary adjunct of govern
ment can not be successfully combated
and proper respect for its mandates,
whatever one may think OF it, because
SO long as laws are laws, is highly de-
sirable. 1t follows, too, that the iastru.
ment which entcrces its provisions
should not be subject to censure for
the same reason.

GOVERNORS LATEST SPEECH.

Sioux City Journal: The Polk coun-
ty convention speech of the governor,
all in ALL is not bad republicanism
The spirit and purpose represented in
it represent the spirit and purpose of
Iowa republicans, and, it is to be
hoped, me spirit and purpose of repub-
licans generally. Questions of expedi-
ency are always something apart.
Men may differ as to ways and means.
Governor Cummins is entitled to the
freedom of other men devoted to the
service of the country and the welfare
of the republican party. The govern
or in this last speech has sought to
make himself understood Perhaps
that is loves labor lost. If the inten-
ton is to misunderstood opportunity
is never foreclosed. But the point is
not to be overlooked that the govern
or's speech before the Polk county
convention was addressed to his
friends.
