A SAFE PROMISE.

When Governor Cummins welcomed
Senator Fairbanks to Iowa yesterday
he assured the vice presidential can
cidate that Iowa will give the repub-
lican ticket larger proportion of her
total vote than will any other state in
the union. This is fact 1t is safe
promise. And there is little doubt
that by now Senator Fairbanks be-
lieves in its truth as firmly as did
Gov. Cummins when he made it. The
candidate has ridden nearly across the
state during the past two days, pass.
ing through prosperous towns and
cities, meeting happy, contented PEG,
pie. looking out of his car upon farms
that are models of development and
cultivation. He has been greeted at
each stop by a large crowd of people
and his words have been cheered to
the echo. Surely anyone with half an
eye politically can see that the peo
pie Of Iowa will give the party which
is now in power an opportunity to con
tinue the good work of administration
it has begun and has been carrying on
for the past seven years.
Iowa is safely republican this year
The only question is one of the size
of the majority. If the Hawkeye state
is to make good it's governors promise
the full vote must be polled, every
republican must come to the polls and
vote. The eyes of the nation are or
Iowa this year and Iowa must uphold
her record. All that is necessary is tc
get out the vote and every republican
should devote his time to that work
from now until the polls close on the
evening of November 8.

JUDGE JONES, THE FAIR MINDED.

Judge Thomas G. Jones, presiding
in federal court at Huntsville, Ala,
is a man of fair mind and splendid
example for southern men like
John Temple Graves to follow. Judge
Jones opened court at Huntsville yes
terday and in charging the federal
grand jury he laid particular stress
upon the Importance of the charges
against the members of the mob which
recently lynched a colored man,
Horace Naples. at Huntsville Judge
Jones boldly drew the line upon which
the grand jury should work when he
said: IF you are fairly satisfied that
the mob would not have murdered
Naples if he had been white man,
then every dictate of humanity and
justice demands that you return true
bills against the members of the mob"
Judge Jones is man of whom the
whole southland should be proud. With
more such men as he is, the race
hatred which has time and again been
the cause for disgraceful actions in
the southern states would not exist.
He places the majesty of the law
above all petty. personal likes and dis
likes and demands that justice be
done.
The murder of Horace Naples was
an unusually brutal lynching. That it
was uncalled for adds to it's brutality,
ii that be possible. 1t was the work
of mob of white men, drunk with the
hatred of the black race which is be-
ing cultivated by the rash statements
and editorials even now being circu-
lated in some parts of the south. 1t
was cowardly, criminal and unjust
Added to it was the firing of the jail
in which federal prisoners were con
fined. That was the act in which the
mob exceeded the bonds that held
their safety for the Alabama state
courts would. if precedent counts for
anything. have disregarded the lynch.
ing of Naples. But when the authori,
ty of the federal government was
scoffed at by the mob that government
took hand in the case and it now re.
mains for the federal grand jury
sworn to uphold national laws, to
bring In indictments against the
members of the mob which will in
bring about their punishment.
At-several times recently this pa
Per, has called attention to the fact
that unless the white men of the south
show respect for the laws the negroes
will not. The southern negro, like q
child. is an imitator, and the more ig
norant he is the stronger is this char
acteristic developed. If he sees the
white man pay no attention to the
laws, he loses respect himself for
them. For that reason he breaks them
and will continue to do SO unless the
white men set an example of obedi
ence to the laws of state and nation.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

OF Tom Watson's letter of accept
ance the Des Moines Register and
Leader says: Mr.. Watson presents
the entire program Of the Bryan demo-
cracy of 1896 with freshness and
vigor of statement that ought to make
his appeal almost irresistible to those
who followed the peerless leader in his
two campaigns. He has this to con-
tend with that now he is fighting party
regularity, and that is almost a con-
trolling motive with the rank and file
of all parties. But party ties rest
rather lightly upon the men who were
deserted by the reorganizers in two
campaigns, only to find themselves in
the end forced to follow the leadership
of the men who wrecked them"
