IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

"What wrong would there be in Civ
ing the voters a chance to express
their preference for United States
senators at a primary election?" asks
the Nortnwood Anchor. The Anchor
thinks it true that the members of the
legislature would not be bound to sup
port the choice of the people" but he
would do so if he cared to hold his
lob. "A still better way to choose
United States senators is by direct
vote of the people," declares the An
Choir.
The Ninton Eagle would oppose any
such primary elections as have been
held in Polk county, but believes d
we'll guarded primary election law
would not be objectionable to the re-
publcans of Iowa, and says: Let the
governor proceed with his primary
scheme as we believe he will draw
bill that will be satisfactory
"Did YOU ever notice that the fellow
who is always bewailing the fact
that taxes are too high is the fellow
who has the least difficulty in raising
money to pay them?" inquiries the
Grinnell Herald.
The Clinton Herald, Mahin's old pa
per, says: "rhe appointment of Mr..
Dobson to Mr.. Mahin's place, without
consultation with the member of con-
gross from this district, or with Sen
ator Allison. with Colonel Mahin or
any of the republicans of the district,
was one of the grossest political out
faI in
An effort is being made to cover up
the facts relative to the Dobson APP
pointment, but they will be known
sooner or later and the second VIII
long hold in remembrance any man
who has participated in this UNDER
handed, unfair and unpolitical deal.
The republicans of this district should
arise in their might and demand or
the members of congress from this
state, as we'll as from Secretary Shaw,
that Mr.. Mahin retain the Nottingham
consulate. or that he be given another
consular position equally as good"
The Omaha Bee noticing that Gov
ernor Cummns promises to use his IN
fluence with the next Legislature of
Iowa for the enactment Of an anti
pass bill, suggests that Governor Cum
Minis come right over to Nebraska and
begin practice on the Nebraska legis-
lature now in session"
The DEBORAH Republican observes
that "The enemies of Governor Cum
MINIS keep themselves busy and very
uncomfortable in deciding what he is
going to do il -? They form live
ly guessing school"
Congressman Hepburn may think
he is indicated but he is mistaken"
says the Glidden Graphic. Nothing
but his head is in the sand"

SHAW AS A CORRESPONDENT.

Among Iowa politicians, more or less
acquainted with the inside" of things
it is generally known that the Wash
ington correspondence for the Chicago
secretary Of the United States treas
ury. The publisher of the Chronicle, a
banker, having the use of United
States deposits, il very close to the
treasury department, and the work of
Sullivan heretofore has shown that his
discussion of Iowa politics proceeds
entirely from the secretary's inspira-
ton.
In view Of these facts It Is inter-
esting to note a remarkable letter that
has just appeared in the Chronicle and
started the rounds thru every Blythe
newspaper in Iowa. Coming closely
upon the heels of the Shaw candidacy
for president, announced last Saturday
evening at the Armstrong dinner in
Washington, 1t Is significant.
Without word of warning and from
a clear political sky this man Sullivan
has scooped every other newspaper
man and politician in Iowa with the
discovery that Cummins is after Dolli-
ver's seat in the senate. He then
writes
He (Cummins) has not yet learned
a great many things which have been
obvious to most persons familiar with
the trend OF Iowa politics for two
years past. If his powers of observa-
ton were acute he would have realized
long ago that his star had set, that
his days of usefulness We're. at an end
and that his career as an ffice-holder
was drawing to a close.
in the state convention a year ago
last summer the governor was forced
to swallow q stand-pat admixture
which was prepared for his especial
DEDICATION by ]. w. Blythe, whom he
had previously read out of the party.
Mr.. Blythe had to plead with the dele
gates to choose Governor Cummins as
delegate atlarge to the Chicago con-
vention."
This wonderful prophet forgets that
Blythe voted with the railroad ridden
states of Pennsylvania, California and
Wyoming against the tariff plank that

FEEDING SCHOOL CHILDREN.

In New York some investigator OF
conditions found a mares nest. II
was asserted that thousands of chill
dren went to school with empty stom-
achs and a movement originated to
give these free breakfasts. A trial OF
the free breakfast plan was made ana
it was found that the children TO be
fed had in most instances had break
fast. There was little evidence IN
the manner of the children to support
the assertion that they came hungry
to school.
Too much of the so-called 'investi-
CATION" is done by self-appointed IN
yestigators of the sentimental or no.
toriety seeking sort. Most of them are
looking for the worst and draw con-
illusions from limited knowledge and
unframed observation. They multiply
a few hungry boys into seething mass
es of starving children and see disease
and degradation in all poverty. TO
these observers all the poor are de-
pendent.
Doubtless there are some children
in New York and other large cities
who come to school breakfastless ana
these should be fed at home, not in
herds at free soup houses to the utter
destruction of their self-respect and
moral fiber. We are going too far
when we propose to feed the school
children as we feed paupers. Per-
haps free text books are a proper ad-
junct to free schools, but let the line
be drawn firmly against free food.

HALF MAST FOR THE HALF DEAD
New Hampton Courier.l
why are the flags at half mast
when a public officer dies? In token
of respect for his memory and to let
the public know he is dead. Then
why not have the flags at half mast
for every dealer in town VINO IS
dead in his shell? Those who do
nothing year in and year out to help
the trade of the town. No need to
half mast the flags, everybody gnews
they are dead but themselves, and
they will never find out they are too
dead.
THE AFHRONT TO THE SECOND.
[Muscatine Journal
The displacement of Mr.. Mahin is an
affront to the entire Second district
and one which the republicans will not
stand for. 1t is the one close district
in the state and because it is close is
a strong reason why Mr.. Mahin, who
is himself a strong man, should be re-
tanned. He has hosts Of friends all
over the district every one Of whom
feels a sense of personal injury because
of the manner of his retirement and
because he is to be retired.
Second district republicans serve
notice now that they will not stand for
it, They are willing that Mr. Dobson
be rewarded with consulate for his
services in the late campaign, if he
demands payment in that kind of coin,
but they insist that it should not be
done at the expense of the second dis
trict and Colone. Mahin. Colonel
Mahin's friends think, and the district
concurs in the idea, that the common
sense way to keep the Second republic
can is not only to keep the patronage it
has but if anything to add 90 It, A
margin of less than 200 votes last fall
strongely suggests that President
Roosevelt sink the probe into the mat
for as far as If will 90 and then aDDlY
the knife to the situation which is little
short of outrageous.
The Second demands it.

on it, On his way back to the depot
he met a friend to whom he sold the
pawn ticket for $1.5O. That gave him

foolish things but his assertion that
