INAUGURATION OF CUMMINS
Iowa's Executive Enters for a Second Time
Upon the Duties of
His Office.

Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 15.-Supreme
Court Justice H. Il. Deemer, administer
ed the oath of office to Albert 3. Cum
Minis upon his second Inauguration as
governor of the state of Iowa. In his
inaugural address Governor Cummins
paid an eloquent tribute to Iowa ag
ricultural industries, repeated his dec
laration in favor of progress in ma
tionaI affairs and declared for a strict
observance Of the law and for educa-
ton in the moral rather than in the in
tellectual sense. The trusts came in
for a share of his attention and he de-
clared that in his judgment the men
who manipulated the combines were
no better than mobs that desecrate the
law.
Governor Cummins was Outspoken
in his advocacy of reciprocity. Iowa
has been faithful to the policy of pro-
lection he said, land she is still as
true as the needle to the pole. The BEN
efits she has derived have been great,
but largely incidental The time has
come for her to raise high into the pO-
litical heavens the twin fag-reci-
procity."

We have little use for a man who
has not the backbone to quit any
bad habit the moment he realizes
that it is injuring him physically,
or debasing his character, without
waiting for any particular day or
date. The mere fact that the habit
or practice is working injury, should
be incentive sufficient to prohibit
the practice of it just SO soon as the
individual becomes convinced that
he has reached that stage. He who
goes at reformation honestly with
himself, will find that the first few
denials come hardest, and then the
shedding gets easier right along.

THIS IS ANOTHER STORY

1--WE love Hanna in Indiana; he is en-
shrined in the hearts of Republicans.
But Hanna has said he would not be
a candidate. and Republicans believe
him. There is no organization against
Roosevelt in Indiana. and in my judg-
ment his will be the only name before
the national convention. Hanna is a
patriot. Ii his country should call on
him through his party to be a candi-
date he could not refuse"
But would Indiana favor Hanna
or Roosevelt in contest between
them?' Governor Durbin was asked
There will be no contest he re-
piled. land no occasion to choose be-
tween them. Because Indiana Reptile
ans love Senator Hanna is not to be
taken as indica ton of hostility to

Der, 1908. 1t was a fit cover for the sub
ject. I accidentally glanced at the 4th

headed Parker and Success" that he
suggested in referring to you, that be-
fore throwing clods at Parker you
should have remembered what you
may have done some years ago as he
alleges "to run a Democratic paper"
He quotes that it was at the time the
Democrats were nearly going to run
things. [ cannot remember the time
unless it was when The Teller's Teller
was supporting Bushnell for Congress,

ago, maybe you remember. He ends
up and says that that was a kind of

that article to one of Barnett's horses,

smile. 1t seems to me that The Teller's
Teller has had worms for some time,
the way he sings things around dis
criminately. | never knew that he
was Republican. At one time he was
an admirer of the Spies crowd that
were hung in Chicago, his eulogy of

more elaborate than that he gave Nc

A few years ago he was elected from
the First ward as a delegate to the Re-
publican convention. 1t was a sur
prise to the Republicans outside the
First ward. believe the Republicans
of the First ward, or at least the par
ties who pushed the thing along, have
been ashamed of themselves ever since.
A man who has such large glass house
should throw no stones. His mind
seems to be getting weak since the
man who made him-James w. Sea-
ton, of Potosi-has refused to write
any more for his sheet. What will be-
come of The Teller when Amt LiZzie

He is half breed in politics well

PASS ON THE PRAISE.

You're a great little wife and [

YOU And as he spoke he put his
arms about her and kissed her, and
she forgot all the care in that moment.
And forgetting all, she sang as she
washed the dishes, and sang on as she
made the beds, and the song was
heard next door, and the woman there
caught the refrain and sang also, and
two homes were happier because he
had told her that sweet old story the
story of the love of a hus band for a
wife. AS she sang, the butcher boy
who called for the order heard it and
went out whistling on his journey,
and the world heard the whistle, and
one man hearing it thought, Here is
lad who loves his work, a lad who is
happy and contented."
And because she sang her heart wa S
mellowed, and as she swept about the
back door the cool air kissed her on
each cheek, and she thought of a poor
old woman she knew, and a little
basket went over to that home with
a quarter for crate or two of wood.
So because he kissed her and prais-
ed her the song came and the influ-
ence went out and out.
Pass on the praise.
A word and you may make rift in
the cloud, a smile and you may create

you may repossess soul from hell.
