IowA oP,NloNs AND NOTES.

The Hampton Chronicle says 1.-The
bull headed man causes most or the
trouble in the world. He thinks MS
way the only way. and he will follow
1t to the end, in spite OF experience and
sensible advice. He will quarrel with
his best friend If not permitted to have
his way which may be disagreeable
and unfair. The men VINO make sue
cess OF life admit the rights OF others
They get along with people. Ihey
note the lessons of experience. They
do not claim to know it ALL Inc men
who make u failure of life Will nave
their own way, altho 1t is poor one.
IF the national republican platform
is a standpat platform, why was II I'M
possible to get similar utterance into
the Iowa freak" pertinently inquiries
the Eagle Grove Eagle. o-,.t
The conclusion Of the Brooklyn
Chronicle is that "the only salvation OF
the State University of Iowa is an ed
ucational board of control which Wouid
place all the state educational institu-
tions under one management. Had the
university and its friends realized this
fact last winter such change might
have been made, but the time has
probably gone by when 1t is possible.
Ames, which fares best under the pres
ent system, will never willingly allow
another to be adopted, and the Ames
political machine is almost invincfble.
While convinced that the law forbid :
ding the sale of yellow oleomargarine
is unjust, the Sac Sun is pleased at the
demonstration of the fact that the
farmers may win as against the cor
porations IL they persistently fight for
their rights.
AS the Charles City Intelligence
looks at the platform, it considers il
"a compromise affair built essentially
to please all factions of the party and
all sections of the country, tho its
trainers doubtless would not confess
the fact If it were a straightout
'standpat anti-revision document, why
refer at all to revision or reciprocity?'
That the platform adopted at Chi
cago is one which no one needs ia
apologize for, if he is a republican" is
the opinion Of the Traer Star-Clipper
THE tariff plank is not a standpat
pronouncement, nor is it a radical re-
vision utterance. 1t pronounces strong
~ for protection, but admits that re-
vision may be necessary, declaring tha'
the revision should be by friends of the
tariff, that Is, republicans. We are
pleased with the platform. 1t Is in the
nature of reform, which never goes
backward. and assures us that the sub
ject will be taken up"
The Wall Lake Blade notes that
thousands are convinced that the con-
ditions requisite to tariff revision as
defined by the Chicago platform nov
exist"
"All the correspondents who wrote
up the national convention at Chicago
last week agreed that Iowa was one
among the states controlled by the big
railroad ring remarks the Glidden
Graphic. What else could they say
with the representative of the North
ern Securities Company in absolute
control?" inquiries the Graphic.
The Hardin County Citizen assures
the railroads that they must expect
harsh criticism az long as they refuse
to enter the political field on, the same
basis that other people enter 1t. At
present. the farmer, laborer and bust
ness man vote and work for the public
good, but the railroad man .pulators OF
the Blythe stripe know nothing but the
attainment of their own selfish ends. IL
is not question of what they ought to
have, but how much they can get by
methods fair or FOUL

that the prohibition orators can give
themselves is an abuse of the other po-
