tho the hon and the lamb will lie down
together ana the lamb not inside the
hon either. MIR. j. w. Blythe's inter-
view in the Hawkeye, coming as 1t does
from the insurgent stand-patter'S
headquarters, is received as an olive
branch by the regulars UE this way, and
rs ariy adj say amen to the suggestion of
Senator Allison's writing the tariff
plank in the coming slate convention.
Now that we have Roosevelt, Shaw, AL
llson and Cuinmins all publicly admit
ting the necessity of reciprocity as we'll
as some changes In the tariff sched-
uh.s, at some time, where sehe Iowa
idea?" A new issue will have to be
found for some of the i.reconcilables.
But frequently one hears a senti-
ment much like this (and it comes from
republican sources. too. for democrats
are scarce and far between these days):
THE republicans went o.: record at the
last national convention as in favor of
restrictive trust legislation They car
risd out the resolution during the last
congress: practiced what they
preached, thus destroying the effects
OF democratic thunder Now, reason
these republicans of northwestern Iowa,
the national republican, convention at
its next meeting must declare in favor
of a. wise and necessary change in the
present tariff charges. Then act on it
at the following meeting of congrS SIS.
Otherwise the democratic party will do
it for us
In Storm Lake the other day the wri-
ter got it straight that Representa- tive
Thomas will again enter the congress
sional race He will have much oppo
sition all over his district not for per-
sonal but political reasons. 1t crops
out in many towns the writer has Wis

would-be postmasters AM their friends.
Senator Hubbard and Judge Hell
sell are mentioned" as candidates, the
FORMER a positive and the latter as pre-
sumably a rece ptive candidate. Ex-
Senator Funk, of Spirit Lake, is the
choice of many individuals so express
ing themselves but if he is working"
there is no trace of it in some of the
counties of the district
If there is any politics in it the public
is mot onto the racket, this referring
to the choice of a. new president for
the Agricultural College at Amiss. But
il, as has been claimed, The selections of
the president determines the new to be
tone" of the institution. whether 1T is
TIC continue true to the rame of agri-
cultural college or to be gradually
changed into a college making scien-
tific courses and study the main object,
the public especially i'm this part of the
state, wants a. president selected VINO
will make the science Of farming the
object and aim of the college. Other
scientific studies naturally and inevita-
bly, go with this study Of faEln1ng, but
The public wants the students OF Ames
primarily taught all about corn raising,
beef feeding. milk producing, butter
making, veterinary work and al! of the
other work laid out by the present force |
of instructors. The honors that came to
Iowa at the last fat cattle show i'm Chi
cago were received by our farmers as
almost personal. The reports sent out
from Arnes on the feeding quality of
the crop of soft corn of iast ssason We're |
discussed in the stores, hotels, depots
and on the streets all over the state. |
Anything and everything concerning
the scisnoe of agriculture coming from
Ames is as interesting reading az amy
thing furnished in the daily or weekly 7
papers. And so if the new president is /
10 be a man who will change th.a object I
and aim of the founders of the Agricul- |
tural Colulege big storm of protest
will come from everywhere, and not |
from the farmers alone. The business |
and professional men of Iowa say,
keep one college in Iowa for students
of agriculture"
