LONDON, Sept. u.-sAre Americans
mean?" is a question that is being dis
cussed in the columns of leading English
newspapers
Numerous letters are being printed on
the subject, and most Of the writers take
the stand that the question should be
answered in the affirnlative-that the
Americans are mean. They detail count
less examples in support of their conten-
ton of Yankee ciosehstedness.
One characteristic letter enumeratea
several instances. The writer says:
Three welI-dressed American women
took possession OF the same number OF
chairs near myself, with the evident
intention of listening to the music OF
the band in Hyde Park In due course

Cummins' Choice.
HAS ONLY TO NAME HIS MAN

SIOUX CITY, Iowa. Sept n--1owa's
gubernatorial contest is virtually at an
end.
Activity of President Roosevelt and
others in behalf of rate legislation has
enabled Governor Cummins to acquire
absolute control of the situation by
default. He announced his issues for
the campaign in his first Chautauqua
address two months ago. and since
then has had the opposition in a hole
in which it dare make no fight.
Governor La Follette's Chautauqua
addresses in this State, those of Will
lam Jennings Bryan and other speak
ers along the same line have developed
public sentiment to a point where no
newspaper has the temerity to wage
war upon the governors slogan He
demands an anti-pass law, reciprocity.
and primary election law which will
terminate the reign of the railroads
political machine in packed caucuses
and county conventions.
Railroads Admit Defeat.
The governor has delivered forty-two
speeches during the past season to I'M
mense audiences. which were attracted
largely by loyalty TO their local Chau-
tauqua There has been no one TO
refute his arguments and his seed has
borne such fruit that the railroad rep
resentatives themselves admit there VIII
be no question but that the forthcom-
ing Legislature will enact an anti-pass
law. Indeed, they say they will offer
no opposition TO it.
So II happens that the standpat ma
chine" headed by j. w. Blythe, or
burlington. general counsel and chief
political boss for the Hill system in
Iowa, has been wholly dismantled- IL
will propose no candidate for governor
The fight is going to Cummins by de-

bad for the eyes to wear glasses In
