IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

The Burlington Hawk Eye says that
the Iowa idea, overwhelmed in the
Chicago convention, will find a more
congenial atmosphere at ST. Louis next
month. 1T is simply case of ship
ping merchandise to the wrong mar
ket," the Hawk Eye asserts.
Charley Walsh is still predicting that
Hearst will be nominated at ST. Louis
and the Des Moines Capital suggests
that as soon as the campaign is ended
he ought to be able to secure a steady
circus job at big money as the cham
pion rainbow chaser of America.
iowa democrats are conducting one
of the most strenuous campaigns ever
waged in this state, and all within
their own party" observes the Des
Moines Register and Leader.
The Mason City Globe-Gazette notes
that Gov Cummins is continuing to
draw cards, but the royal flush" he
hoped to strike was found bobbed of
its caudal appendage.
The Keokuk Gate City entertains no
doubt that large majority Of Iowa
Young honored by an election to the
governorship. IF he isn't chosen it
will be because he has willed it other
WISE" the Gate City concludes.

"The average business man must be
so uniformly nice and pleasant during
business hours" remarks the Cedar
Falls Gazette, that he finds it a real
luxury to go home and be ugly for a
WHILE"
"The board Of regents has had Its
say" says the Iowa City Citizen, re-
ferring to the university trouble. ut
still remains for the state legislature
to have its say, and before that body
gets through talking a year and half
hence there may be more interesting
developments"
The Cedar Rapids Gazette thinks
there ought to be wholesome
changes" in the membership of the
university board of regents and that
those who brought about the recent
Investigation should have representa-
ton thereon. "The regents are and
always have been an insufficient body"
the Gazette asserts, land there is lit
tie hope for the university until there
has been a change"
The Monticello Express declares that
ut is more than complimentary men
ton when the papers say that Hon.
John N. Irwin, of Keokuk, would make
a good governor"
eff the university has suffered from
discussions and disagreemnets and the
pickering Of those who ought to lend
1t loyal support, all this would be con-
sidered as of the past" urges the Des
Moines News. The time has come
for giving helping hand instead of
indulging in carping criticisms
o.
The Keokuk Gate City notes that it
is doctor" James Wilson now, Beloit
university having conferred the degree
of LII. D. on the secretary of agricul-
ture at it's recent commencement. ut
will take something more than a col
lege degree, however, to induce Iowa
people to refrain from calling him
'Tama JIM" says the Gate City.
eff some Young men expended half
the time and applications trying to get
on in the world that they do endeavor-
ing to put the pool ball in the corner
pocket, there would be more successes
and fewer failures in the world" as
serts, the Mapleton Press.
AS the Cedar Rapids Gazette fig
ures it Fairbanks allowed it to be I'M
derstood that he would accept the vice
presidential nomination in case the Jury
unanimously found that he deserved
such a sentence"
"As to the matter Of deportation
without warrant of law, probably there
isn't city, town or village in the
United States which hasn't regularly
used the principle at least in getting
rid of tramps and vagrants," observes
the Sioux City Journal The tramp
generally gets his choice between de-
portation and Imprisonment, instead
of deportation and death. And he is
generally sent out of town because he
doesn't live there, won't work there
and has no means of support These
are petty differences in the cases but
they are noticeable.
