Had there been any disposition to con-
test with Governor Cunnlins for the
Polk county delegation 1t should have
been announced when the congress
sional canvass opened. Then If he
had been defeated. there could be no
complaint. But such contest was not
invited. it was purposely avoided, and
the governor was conceded everything
he could have gained. There may
have been some cause of irritation =
there always Is in such situations as
developed. But when cooler counsels
prevail, we believe that Captain Hull
and his friends will see that the only
fair thing to do Is to concede the state
delegation to Governor Cummins.

THE LOGIC OF IT.

TCouncal Bluffs Nonpareil.l
This demand of the unions of Fort
Dodge that Mr. Stickney's road be boy
cotted If 1t does not dish UP on silver
server a half million In cold cash or a
string of factories a mile long for the
aggrieved community presents some
interesting possibilities. No doubt they
have unions at Clarion and the unions
there. of course, will stand by their
Fort Dodge brethren: they must do So
for the Great Western has been de-
claimed unfair and that menas that
union men, everywhere must if they
would avoid faint boycott 1t. The
Clarion unions. then, are against their
own town. And to brig it a little
closer home, as the Great Western runs
into this city, it will be in order for
the local trades and labor assembly to
take up the boycott. The fact that a
part of the shops that might have gone
to Fort Dodge came here must make no
difference; the road is unfair, the Fort
Dodge Trades and Labor Assembly has
said so. and under this application of
the boycott the unions of Council
Bluffs and Clarion. although benefited
directly by the loss to Fort Dodge,
must stand by their brethren and force
the road TO return to Fort Dodge, its
lost marbles Or fork over that half mil
lion. A logical situation this!

end
| Whatever may be the case farther
east, here in Iowa the rural carrier VIII
welcome a substantial raise in salary at
the expense of his carrying privilege.
Except in q few isolated instances the
packag e business is a bore and a detri-
ment to the carrier His income from
the privilege rarely reaches SO year.
1t is much more bother than it is
worth. He fails to collect fee for more
than one-half the bundles he carries.
The bundle is left in the mail box, the
farmer folgets the incident and the
carrier never duns for the nickel or
dime due him for his trouble. If the
carriers are gfumbling it is not over the
loss of this package privilege and a
gain of more than s10o annually but
because the proposed raise is not as
high as their hopes have been.
The abridgnent of carriers privileg-
es is a sensible move and for the good
OF the service and should be accornpan-
led by a reasonable raise in salary. The
mail and deliver it promptly and speed
ily. There is no good reason why an
anxious farmer should wait for his
market report while the carrier spends
an hour soliciting a subscription for
some newspaper or attending to some
other business that has possible per-
quisite attached to 1t. The business
interests OF the farmer demands prompt
mail service quite as insistently as
those of the merchant or professional
man. There is no more sense or JUS
tice in allowing rural carriers to delay
along the road than there would be in
permitting the city carrier to loiter
along the street doing a small express
business or soliciting for some private
firm. The farmer Is insisting on
prompts delivery of his important mail
and is willing to pay for It,
There is the keystone of the whole
matter. If we are to make rural de-
livery highly effective we must pay for
effective service. The present proposal
to raise salaries s120 per annum or $40
a month is long step in this direc-
tion.
While there is not much money in
carriership even at the s72o salary
there are plenty of competent men
ready to take hold of the job There
will be no avalanche of designations
but the carriers will be grateful for the
added income and continue to hope for
the $500 they failed to get this time.

Concerning the two-eent fare bill
now before the general assembly, faith
cred by Representative DeLano, there
is TO be said: The fares received by
Iowa railway companies do not now
average more than two cents, when
bulked. The travelling men carry mile
age books that give a rebate II the
covers are returned within the stipulat-
ed time. This gives them net rate
of two cents. The transient traveller
for short trips pays a three-cent rate
but over against him is a pass-goer
who reduces the income close to two
cents. Rates to the terminals. particu-
larly to the larger cities, are made at 4
considerable reduction. There is left
as an offset to this all the excursion
rates sometimes as low as cent mile.

POLITICAL CuT.THROATs.

Des Moines seems determined that
the state of Iowa at large shall not be
disabused of its notion that capital city
politicians are the worst lot of political
cut threats ever harbort.d by any AM
erican city. The scenes of the primary
campaign were enough to sour the
etomachs of decent men but LATE
Young and Ed Hunter now propose a
move that, for political perfidy, shall
stand alone in the annals of Iowa. They
propose that the agreement made by
Hull managers, with Governor Cum
minis be broken and that the Polk
county convention pass resolutions TO
embarrass the governor and select an
anti-Cummins delegation to the state
convention.
When it was known that the friends
OF Governor CumnMns were divided and
found on both the Hull and the Prouty
sides, it became necessary for the gov
ernor's neutrality to be secured. Prouty
was the governors personal friend
and pressure was tremendous for the
governors influence to add him. Hull,
by his own admission, was scared and
gladly made a bargain with the govern
or that the latter should have friend
IL convention whichever way the tide
turned. For this consideration the gov
M fra3t txr nd
sides submitted their lists of delegates
to him for approval. During the CAM
paign, Hull managers, in their paid adj
gertisements. ratified the agreement
with the governor.
When Hullss victory was complete
LATE Young and the notorious Ed
Hunter insisted that Cummins' throat
be cut regardless of any agreement and
that seems to be the intention. When
the governor made his pre- ton
agreement with Blythe a year ago, some
of his best friends were nervous in the
fear that Blythe would not keep the
compac. but the governor always in
sisted that Blythe's word was as good
as his bond and it was. The governor
is now about to learn that in dealing
with LATE Young and Ed Hunter, ne
meets Italians of different stripe. To
the credit of Congressman Hull and
the Cummins men on Hulrs side it may
be said that they both favor a square
deal with Cummins. The Register and
Leader publishes vigorous article, re-
>vinted on this page, demanding an
oncrable performance of the pre- cleo
ton compact.

THE ONLY FAIR COURSE.
rRepister and Leader

There have been runtors on the
street that an effort will be made whel
the county convention meets Saturday
to change the victory for Captain Hull
into a victory against Governor Cum
Minis. Cooler counsels will undoubt-
edly prevail when the time comes.
Governor Cumfnins was not interested
in the congressional contest, and the
attempt to make it appear that he
has been defeated in his home county
by misusing Captain Hull's majority
would probably not succeed now. and
would certainly react later.
Governor Cummins without any
question could have wor delegation
20 the state convention in open con-
test Because this was SO delegation,
was conceded to him by Captain Huli':i
friends. To claim now that he for
feited his right to insist upon this con-
cession because he occupied a seat at
Judge Prouty's closing meeting, will
rot be accepted as sufficient warrant
for repudiating an express pledge. II
