THE INAUGURAL.

1t was our pleasure to be present at
the impressive Inauguration of Gov. A.
B. Cummins. We have witnessed sew
eral of these ceremonies. The inau-
guration of Governors Jackson, Drake,
Shaw and Cummins, and they never
fail to impress one with the dignity of
the Office and its grave possibilities,
and opportunities for good or evil. Elk
Governor jackson was notable figure.
Grayer than when he took the oath,
but loohing ia the prime OF his vtgor
and ability. Coming in the midst of
hard times, and disaster, his was one
of the most difficulto OF administrations.
He was the only Ex-Governor present,
and it his eyes told anything, they told
that he was glad indeed to be out of the
turmoil of political strife and had not
regretted that notable dicision which
took him out of the list of two-term
Governors.
Governor Cummins looked every
inch the Governor. He no longer de-
serves the "Iandsome Albert" sobri-
Duet. He is still splendid looking
man but in his face are those lines that
denote possibility and thoughtful
ness and power rather than mere
physical beauty.
His inaugural address was impressive
not only in It's subject matter but in its
delivery. No one who heard him could
feel that he was listening to an ordi-
nary man, or that he was approaching
his subject in any other spirit than
that of a patriotic statesman. Those
who would have US believe that the
Governor is y mere breeder of party
STRIFE are grossly in error. We are not
prepared to give our fal acceptance to
the Governors tariff views, without
further consideration, but we are sure
that he is sincere, and that he is right
in feeling that Bow if ever is the ac-
cepted time for their full and free dis
cussion.
One incident of the inaugural inn
pressed US greatly. Two companies of
colored L. S. regulars, headed the
parade. They We're fine specimens OF
physical Cievelopement. they walked
with "A spriney, elastic stride that tells
the seasoned soldiers. They were

.ment that has followed the stars anu
stripes to victory on many field, and
yet, on the the street beside us stood a
great big fat slob of a white man, a man
who never has or who never would lift
u finger for his country, man whose
very occupation makes police and sol
diers and courts necessary. cursing and
dammine. because a ''lot of blankety-
blank niegers were heading white
mans parade.
Their was not Niger in the two
companies who did not deserve better
of his country. Such expressions of
race hatred usually come from men
whose only claim to social distinction
seems to be that they are better than
the "niggers' and nine.tenths of the

CUMMINS AND HARMONY,


Without discussing. at this time, the
merits of the reciprocity theory a6-
vanced by Gov. A. B. Cummins in his
recent inaugural address. we have this
to say concerning the plea for har-
mony, coming from the antiCummins
press.
1t is urged by these papers that we
are about to enter presidential cam
paign; that the party needs all the
strength possible, and that discussion
such as Gov. Cummins attitude nat
urally provokes, tends to weaken the
party on the eve of battle. and to en-
barass the probable standard-bearer
Mr.. Roosevelt.
These papers seem to think that at
some indefinite time such discussion
would be proper, but not now. a year
ago it was urged by the same papers
that the discussion might be proper at
some future time, but that then only
state issues were at stake. Mr.. Cum
Minis concurred in this view, and
compromise was arranged. although if
our memory serves, MIR. Cummins then
announced his intention of entering in
to the discussion at a later date.
Again, without discussing the merit
of Gov. Cummins proposals, we would
submit.
If Gov. Cummins seeks only self-ag-
grandizement, and to push himself in
to notoriety, his remarks would at no
time be ia order.
Granting, however. that the Govern
or is honest: thathe believes the theory
he advocates to be for the welfare not
only of the party, but of the nation, and
when would he be in order if not now:
Not last year-because only local is.
sues were at stake. and the duty of for
mulating this years National platform
was not at hand.
Not next year, not even next fall
for then the National platform will be
promulgated, and it will be forthe vot-
ers either to accept or reject it.
The harmony critics are a. fault
Peace is such good thing that men
often fight for it,
1t appears to us that now is the ac-
cepted time for such discussion.
Let MIR. Cummins present bis views:
let the opposing argument be heard,
and let the republicans of Iowa decide
intelligently. II Mr.. Cummins idea is a
good and helpful one for the Nation,
all that Iowa eau do for it will be none
too mucn. Ii his idea is pernicious,
full and free discussion will do much
good in clearing the minds of repueli,
can voters.
There is no suitable time for faction
a.ism and acrimonious personal discus
sion. There could be no better time
for the republicans of Iowa to calmly
consider the pros and cons of recirroc.
ity and to decide upon the part Iowa
is to play in the national convention
No victory won by either side by poll
tical manipulation or personal faction.
alism will amount to anything. The
only real victory for either side will be
If they can prove to the satisfaction O
republicans ia general that the othel
is wrong Let the discussion 90 on
fairly, freely and honestly aud the part,
will be all the st5oneer.
