but the fact remains that he has done
more than spike Governor Cummin's
heaviest gun. He has captured the bat
terry. without the loss of n man, and
now he will turn the artillery on the
camp of his dearest enemy at short
range, ard there is no doubt that he
will deliver an accurate and deadly
fire. There will be interesting doings
in the Cummins camp very shortly,
and it will be a strange thing If Iowa $
doughty governor shall not be seen
oftenest in the act of feeling of his
head to be sure his scalp is on
straight.
Mr. Blythe las long been the rep

interests. He is a sonin-law of the
late Hon John H. Gear of Burlington,
first governor of Iowa. then represent
tative, and lastly senator, the prede-
cessor cf Hon. John P. Dolliver OF
course some connection between the
Burlington Hawkeye and the Regis
ter and Leader under the Blythe own
ership is most natural, since the Hawk
eye has been, for more than score or
years. the property of President c. +.
Perkins Of the c.. B. IL O.. by virtue OF
the ownership of its stock. So there is
no surprise at the announcement that
William B. Southwell, once an errand
boy in the Hawkeye's employ and for
almost score of years it's business
manager should be the man slated by
Mr.. Blythe for the command of the
counting room of the Register and
Leader. OF course the public will
draw conclusions to suit itself touch
ing the actual ownership of the Regis
ter and Leader but nobody WI n
grain of sense will expect to see either
it or the Hawkeye in conflict upor. any
point involving Iowa or national poll
cies. or the control of corporations, by
publicity prosecution, or otherwise.

exit of Governor Cummins are in order

CHURCH AND CLERGY.

A permanent endowment fund Of
$4,000 for city mission work in Chi
cago has been created by the Congre-
gatonalistS of that city.
The year 1908 in the Presbyterian
mission in Canton, China, was the best
in it's history To the twenty churches
there were 1859 additions. and the
local contributions amounted to more
than $4,000.
The Rev. Dr.. James Bard Brady, a
former pastor at Worcester, Mass, will
undertake to raise $5.0O000O for the
relief Of the aged preachers and the
widows and orphans of Methodist
preachers of the general conference.
One Of the questions that will come
before the general convention Of the
Protestant Episcopal church in Boston
next October will be that Of granting
the clergy liberty to use the revised
version Of the Bible, which at present
is denied them.

VISITING CARDS.

T0DAY's CONVENTION.

There is little about today's conven-
tion to arouse public excitement or at
tract intense popular interest. General
interest in national convention CEN
tiers on the nomination for the presi-
dency and it has been settled for
months that Theodore Roosevelt is to be
named without opposition at Chicago.
So far as the head of the ticket is con-
cerned the duties of the delegates are
perfunctory. They are there instruct
ed by the people to vote for Theodore
Roosevelt. They may get a fiutter of
excitement out Of a vice presidential
contest between Hit and Fairbanks
with neither eager for the office and
little to choose between the men. The
platform has been written by Mr..
Lodge. approved by politicians and the
convention is expected to give it the
sanction of its acceptance. Today's con-
xentton Is a program affair. The
west gets Roosevelt and the east gets
the platform. To all intents and pur-
poses the convention was over weeks
ago.
The platform has really been the
eenter Of interest. paramount even to
the selection Of a candidate for vice
presidsnt. but this too has been fixed"
Tor weeks. Senator Lodge has written
/ The platform and will be made chair
man of the resolutions committee. His
draft may receive some changes but
not material. The president, of course,
has been consulted and the presidents
friends have seen the document. 1t Is
said that tariff revision by the friends
OF protection will be recognized as
necessary but the time for such revis-
lon will not be specified. The language
win not be as definite and explicit as
the republicans Of western states
would have 1t but neither will the MEM
bers OF the American Protective Tariff
League be entirely satisfied SO the
language will be as near a compromise
~ possible. 1t will be standpat and
yet not so rigid as to slap westerner
IN the face. The fact that the need
Of revision is recognized will be
gain to the progressive element of the
party but the victory will not be all
they have fought for.
