MISCHIEF MAKING.

Under the heading "A Cock and Bull
Story. the Sioux City Journal reprints
the Register and Leaders wild
news statement of a Cum
Minis revolt against Congress
man Birdsall in the Third, and the de-
NAL of the absurd canard as it appear
ed In the T.-R. of the same date. Edi-
teorially the Journal hands the
Register and Leader, a little
package for it's Christmas stock
Ing and is more or less complimentary
towards the r.-R. for Clearing the
matter up" The T.-R. it classes as
the friend and conpatriot" Of the
Register and Leader, and says 1t is
mot usually disposed to do the Regis
ter and Leader bad turn"
The T.-R. is not disposed to do the
Register and Leader "a bad turn" II
is not evilly disposed toward any Other
newspaper deserving the name, inside
or out Of Iowa. 1t is not IN the bad
turn" business, but is ill disposed to-
ward mischief making. 1t wants the
news to print, but it wants fact and
not fiction, and 1t would stop to verify
the word of its most trustworthy cor
respondent before it played up" and
printed a story like the one referred tc
and sent 1t out to make mischief. II
was so much at variance with the
probabilities that news editor more
familiar with conditions in the Third
would have insisted on verification
1t was bad mistake.
So far as Zen Birdsall is concerned
his political prospects are roseate. lie
has nothing to fear and everything to
expect from the progressive element in
his district. Mr.. Birdsall has put him-
self on record as rate regulator and
revisionist. There has been no lack OF
frankness on his part. His constitu-
ents know where he stands to take or
leave.
The Register and Leader story is not
as the Journal strives to make it, IAN
unhappy exhibition of the bitterness
and unreasorableness" of progressive
republicans, but simply a case of an
over-anxious desk man, fooled into
printing falsehood not unlikely to
have been inspired by political. enemies
of Judge Birdsall and the political ele-
ment that wishes 1t could claim him.

yARIEGATED VIEWS.

It Is rather strange what a var
iety Of cock sure views can be held v
observing men of the motives behind
the statewide primary law and its re-
suit il enacted. The Cedar Rapids Re-
publican knows that the scheme is
crafty to degree" that it is Just a
device to make one more term possible
to the present governor and to the
Republicans mind there can be no
mistake about it. ct is not intended
to be fair" says the Republican, but
to be unable to see how state wide
primary election law could prolong the
term of the present governor, unless
the majority OF the republican voters
of Iowa should prefer him over all
others. Does the Republican mean to
admit that If nominations are left to
the choice Of the voters Cummins will
be retained? And IL this is the case
why, then is it not intended to be
fair? To whom would it be unfair?
To Cunmins or to the people, or to
the old gang who would rather trust
to the power Of the railway pass and
the railroad attorney in the nominating
convention?
The Democratic Times Tribune, how
ever, from Waterloo can see that Gov
ernor Cumn1ins Is urging the primary
election law with the intention of test
ing issue with Hull for congress in
the Seventh district. Now, if this
were true IL would have to follow that
the majority Of the republican voters
of the Seventh district prefer Cum
Minis to Hull for their congressman.
Cummins, too, could hardly be con-
demned for his self-seeking ambition
since Hull has held and sought office
three times as many years as has
Cummins.
Then, at Waterloo, there is still an
other view held by the very estimable
gentleman who edits the Reporter. He
believes that a statewide primary
would throw the control of all nomi-
nations into large cities, yet there are
only five counties in Iowa, out of the
ninety nine, in which the population of
the largest city constitutes majority
Of the population of the county, and
these cities control their counties now
under the caucus and convention sys-
tenn. Des Moines, Davenport, Sioux
City, Dubuque and Burlington are
bound to control in their counties, as
they contain more than two-thirds of
the voters, but such cities as Fort
Dodge, Muscatine, Waterloo, Ottumwa,
Clinton, Council Bluffs and Cedar Rap
ids, contain only about half the peo-
pie Of their counties, while towns of
very respectable size, such as Creston.
Mason City, Iowa City. Marshalltown
and Keokuk can show only one-third
of their county's population; Webster
City, Boone and Oskaloosa, etc, only
one-fourth, and their influence on NOM
nations would not be enhanced by a
primary law In the state at large the
rural population Is overwhelmingly in
the majority, so that under state
wide primary the rural voter would

nection with reports of accidents ana
withhold news from reporters who re-
spect the ethics of the profession. The
most insufferable ignoramuses In the
medical fraternity are those who seek
to display their loyalty to the code by
declining to give the newspapers any
information whatever. even when as
sured that their names will not be used.
Some Of them have such crude notions
of honor and of the demands and pur-
poses OF the code that when questioned
concerning an accident they fatty deny
having been called But the sincere
and intelligent members of the profess
sion cheerfully respond to all reason

no difficulty In discriminating between

The Cedar Rapids Republican is
pernociously persistent in baying up
on the trial of Governor Cummins. To
the Republican, a third term for Cum
Minis is the objectionable political sin,
yet it never lifts it's voice in protest
against the repeated nominations of
congressman, notably by Captain j. A.
7 Hull in the Seventh district Cap
tain Hull has been continuously in Of
flee for the last thirty-tive years, but
the Republican can see no guile in

is little danger of stocks being carried
over to any material extent. Most of
the road salesman are now back for

preparations for inventory. Current
dealings in staples have become quiet,
but the mails bring substantial addi-

PERKINS CANDIDACY.
IHardin Comfy Citizen.


Mr. Perkins socalled tentative"
candidacy for governor is interesting
in a number of ways. He is put for
ward by the Blythe railroad machine,
with headquarters at Burlington. The
intent is to invade the Cummins
stronghold in northwestern Iowa and
secure sufficient support, taken with
the reservation" to spell victory for
the standpatters The main appeal to
be made, doubtless, is to local pride
in the eleventh district.
Perkins as a candidate on his indi-
vidual merits ought to win. Perkins as
candidate for Blythe and the rail-
roads ought to lose. 1t is strange to
the writer that a man of Mr.. Perkins
ability should by his silence or in any
other way allow his name to be used
to promote the interests of such infiu-
ences.
If Mr.. Perkins is a candidate let him
state his platform in plain words and
not in riddles, and ask support on his
record and platform and not as tool
of any aggregation. Principles are
more important than men.
