SUBSERVIENCE IN HIGH PLACES.
IGlidden Graphic.]
The charge is now made that this
matter has been brought up at this
time to injure Shaw. We are not adj
vised as to this point But the facts
seem to indicate that Judge Hubbard
had great influence with Shaw The
friends of Shaw claim that he was jus
tilted in granting the parole and that
the public did not suffer, consequently
have no kick coming. 1t is furthe:
claimed that Shaw did not know who
was behind the matter and that the
prosecuting attorney and presiding
Judge had recommended the parole.
1t is stated in this connection that
their letters are not on file with tins
balance of the papers pertaining to tha
case 1t occurs to us however that the
Pinkerton protest and the history OF
the crime ought to have settled the
matter against the parole. The fac
that the public did not suffer is not
pertinent, as lawyers would say, it IS
irrelevant AS we. view the matter
it simply proves what every we'll in
formed man in the state already knew.
namely: That Hubbard influence
nominated Shaw and dictated his
actions in all matters affecting the
Northwestern. The moral which the
public ought to get from these revei-
atoms is that so long as they permit
the RAILROAD attorneys OF the state to
dictate their nominations they can ex.
pect Just such results. Thieves, thugs
and robbers will be favored and pro-
tected by them when their interests
seem to demand it. No one believes
that Shaw il left free to use his judg-
ment would do the public an injustice.
Whatever his culpability in the matter
may be we do not know fully, but 1t
looks very much like his subserviency
to Hubbard had led him into an &C
ton discreditable to his administra-
ton in that it showed UP his weak
ness in this respect. People do no.
like to see men o.. this kind in high
places.
THE STEAMBOAT" BUSINESS.
[Cedar Rapids Gazette
l = to- No
Gazette believes there was never so
| much fool politics. in this state as has
| been worked into the selection of dele
gates to the national republican con-
vention. We refer to the so-called
"standpat" matter, but which in truth
was mere subteriuge on the part OF
! few "pretenders to the throne to
| take a poke at Governor Cummins be-
| cause he was too much of man for
| them in everything that makes men
| noble.
The republican party stands for the
| principal of protection. The people
| have Endorsed 1T Prosperity reigns
| under that policy, but how long 1T will
| continue, of course, no one, knows. we
| all hope 1t will be forever, but all know
| also that there must be periods OF de-
preston regardless of any policy or
| law.
| President Roosevelt stands for pro-
| lection; Governor Cumnins also fights
for that principle. All the leading men
OF the PARTY do likewise. Then what is
| all the "standpa,t" nonsense about. the
cruel attacks upon Governor Cummius,
| one of Iowa's greatest men. why the
| governor has suggested that the repub-
| lican party should change the sched-
| ules to conform to changing conditions.
That Dis what the party proposes That
| is what the people want. TO most
forcibly show how; silly this stand
pat' business is, 1t is only necessary to
| recall the fact that one of the stron-
gest counties on this proposition adopt
ed and loudly apr'lauded a plank in
the resolutions OF, the tariff question
| that had been written by Governor
Cum.nins. 1t was in line with the par
/ ty policy. the same as Governor Cum
Minis has been in line with all
/ the time, the only trouble being that "a
few who wished to misreprssent him
attacked his views because enanating
from him and net that they We're
! hereto.
| Is there not some other way that
those people can vent their spleen
| against the governor and not expose
| the cloyen hoof so completely? The
people have been harrangued about the
matter so much THAT many of them
really thought there was something to
/ IT, that the governor was going back
on his party. But lit was for mean
purposes that the attacks were made
and not for the good of the party nor
for principle.
Time Will prove the truth of these
statements and Governor Cummins will
| live to accept many apologies from the
half dozen office holding "wolf criers."
