Last week the Republican State
convention named Gov. A. B.
Cummins to become his own sue
cessor By acclimation. II was !
great sight to one who went
through the stormy fight Of 1901,
when he first received the nomi-
nation. The naming him by ac-
climation was much deserved and
well merited. He has made the
best governor Iowa has had. He
is a real statesman, broad, high
minded, polished gentleman;
recognized all over America. We
hope and believe there is still
higher things for Governor Cum
Minis.

OUR NATAL DAY.

II is an inevitable fact that all
nations, countries and paincipali-
ties will observe some day in the
calender year that mark their
beginning; such is the case in this
republic of the United States.
The signing of the Declaration
of independence July 4, 1776,
marks our natal day, the begin
ing Of a new nation, the berth of
a new republic, free and indie
pendent of any foreign powers.
The little band of continental
army under the leadership of the
father of our country, George
Washington, made it possible for
us to enjoy the present rich fruit
of his labor. Thus each succeed
ing 4th Of July since IS the loyal
free American citizens, and even
those who we're not considered
citizons, would cease their labor
and meet in the village, town and
city to celebrate the glorious 9Th.
In Is there were only IS states
and few thousand people, now
we have As states, several terri
tories and hundreds of islands
who assist us in unfurling the
old flag and hosting the banner
Of freedom, liberty and happiness.
While there are some serious er.
rors to be corrected, many wrongs
to be righted, we hope that each
4th will bring all people to real
lie the full meaning of the Dec.
laration of independence, and
what freedom, liberty and happi.
ness means.
