The State Committee Middle.

MT. a. w. maxwell, CHAIRMAN OF Gne
democratic state central committee
by virtue of his election by the last
state convention, should proceed i'm
mediately with the selection of a
strong list of temporary officers for
the July convention at Iowa City.
Mr.. Maxwell should let it be known
In the most decisive manner that he
nor his supper tiers on the committee
will recognize any other chairman
than Mr.. Maxwell; that they will not
permit the remorganizing democrats
to steal or usurp the constituted Or
ganization of the democratic party in
Iowa. 1t has come to a pretty pass
indeed If boilers from the party and
Wall street sympathizers are to be
permitted to constitute themselves a
board of review of the actions of the
party assembled in convention. The
great cardinal truth is that the con-
vention is the supreme tribunal of the
party and is free to do whatever it
pleases, to elect as chairman of the
state committee a man who is not
even member of the committee or
to give each county representation on
the committee; and its action is not
renewable, subject to change, re-
vision, modification nor application,
by the state committee. The state
convention of few years ago decided
to elect the district committeeman
for two years. There was no protest
because of that action and protest
would have ayailed nothing.
The remorganizerS' position is a
brazen one and they are unsophlsti-
Gated indeed In presuming 80 far upon
the credulity and supineness Of the
regular democracy as to suppose that
their attempted stealeef the organiz-
tion should not meet with the strong
est opposi ton.
The July convention is to be held in
Iowa City, because the state commit
tee was of opinion that convention
there harmonious in it's workings,
would assist Judge Wade in securing
reelection to congress. II Judge
Wade really desires reelection, and if
he measures at its worth the effect Of
a convention row in Iowa City, he will
call off his cohorts who are engineer
Ing for the control of the state com.
mittee. They are Judge Wade s friends
who are seeking to prevent the will OF
the party asexpressed in convention.
II he is not responsible for their course
he should point out to them wherein
they injure his chances of success at
the fall election.

his position, will be permitted to stand

an insane notion that everybody
wanted to kill him. He was discover

The Old Age Limit.

There seems to be "a growing DISPOSE
ton to fix an old age limit on every
body except statesmen. Officers of the
navy are retired by law at sixty-two
and those Of the army at sixty four.
Mr.. Chairman Gillett Of the civil serv-
Ice committee of the house proposes
that government employees shall be re-
tired at seventy. Now comes the Meth
odist conference at Los Angeles, Cal,
and, retires batch Of bishops because
old age has injured If not destroyed,
their usefulness. By common consent
there is sort Of old age limit on the
first term for president, which is
about sixty-six. Only one man above
that age was ever elected president for
a first term-General William Henry
Harrison at sixtV-eight-and he served
only one month, which has been great
encouragement, If not a bar, to the
nomination Of oljl men ever since But
suppose the people should take notion
to establish an Gid age limit for repre-
Dentatives and senators in congress2
It wouldn't make so much difference
with representatives, but would play
everlasting smash with the conscript
fathers Perhaps third of them are
above even. Gillett's proposed limit

A Voice From che South.
Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higgin-
son of Boston, Mr.. Representative Gill
lett of Massachusetts, Judge Crum-
packer of Indiana and other patriots
who lie awake of nights inducing in
somnia by Fostering their heads devils
ing ways and means to break up lynch
ing in the south would do well to care
fully read the inaugural address of
Governor Newton @. Blanchard of Lou
tsiana. He certainly is representative
Of the public opinion Of his state, hav-
ing served her in both branches of con-
gress and upon the supreme bench. In
ter ALA he says:
Mob law In contravention and defiance
OF law will not be tolerated. Lynchings
will not be permitted under any circum-
strictest accountability possible under the
law for the safety from mob violence Of
persons In their custody.
OF course his remarks are not so
spectacular as the speeches and maya
zine articles Of the patriots aforesaid,
but they are more practical. They are
not SO well calculated to appeal to pas
sion, but they contain more sense.
They are not intended for campaign
purposes, but they mean business They
are not general and glittering state
ments, fun OF sound and fury, signify
ing nothing, but they propose a pro-
gramme. Holding sheriffs to strict ac-
countability for the safety from mob
violence OF persons in their hands will
do more to prevent lynching than all
the lachrymose orations that could be
delivered in century.
While they are at it the patriots
might also read with profit these words
from Governor blanchard touching the
negro question:
The negro Is here. He is man and a
citizen. He Is useful and valuable in his
sphere Within that sphere he must be
guaranteed the equal protection of the
law. and his education, along proper lines
10 a duty and necessity. He must be pro-
tected in his right to alive peaceably and
quietly, in his right TO labor and enjoy
the fruits of his laboz He must be en-
couraged to industry and taught the hab-
its of thrift

social recognition will ever be tolerated
