IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.
AS to Shaw's scheme for ship sub
sides the Register and Leader says:
"a merchant marine that will carry
goods below cost to foreign markets
| ds necessary to those who favor re-
taliatory tariffs and high prices at
home and low prices abroad. Without
cheap transportation furnished at the
cost of the general tax payer the es-
sential part of this programme is lack
ing" The Register ana Leader can
see no greater harm in foreign capt.
tai invested in our shipping than In
foreign capital owning the Milwaukee
or Great Western.
ut is not important to read men out
of the republican party. 1t lis i'm
portant to read them into it," says the
Sioux City Journal in support of the
advice which the Times-Republican
has been preaching to standpatters
now for many days.
The Oelwein Register which keeps
close tab on the political affairs of the
Fourth congressional satropy, can "see
no reason for disturbance in the
Fourth district" 1t says: Congress
man Haugen has been gaining friends
and the longer he stays in congress
the more influence he wMi have. He
is using tact and judgment i'm handling
the affairs of the district. We do not
think that there will be any active OPP
position to him next year"
The DEBORAH Republican suggests to
John Cownie, who is sad because he
thinks the corn crop Dis not what 1t
ought to be, that dt is wiser to be glad
because it is SO much better than 1t
used to be.
"The very best thing life insurance
companies could do now would be to
devise, themselves, legislation guaran-
teeing that present ills will not occur
again." advises the Sioux City Trib-
une. 1T is doubtful II the companies
are broad minded enough to do this,
but probably others can be found who
will do it for them. In the meanwhile
the policy holder should keep firm
grip on his insurance, and watch"
The Webster City Fr'eeman-Tribune
says: Governor Cu1nmins believes
that Iowa is worth fighting for-presi-
dentially-and he don't propose to be
a party to handing the state over to
any man who does not represent the
majority sentiment of the people upon
the questions of the day. The COVER
, nor is right and the Freeman Tribune
is glad he has sounded the tocsin thus
eanly."
AS to the portion of the governor s
address which dealt with tariff revi-
sion and reciprocity, the Grinnell Her
aid has nothing to say at this time .
1t docs not question the right of the
governor to have opinions on this
question or any other question and to
urge his opinions on the people. And
when he speaks In the proper spirit he
Is entitled to considerate hearing and
/ his arguments should be we'll weighed
| We are more than anxious that the
people be informed on the question Of
relation of protection and reciprocity
to prosperity and know that such In
! formation can be gained only by g
4considerate hearing Of all phases OF
( the question from all classes Of think
ers, but there is some question as to
the propl,iety of precipitating this dis
Iecussion at this time by one who claims
to be republican and friend of the
president when it is given out thai
this question shall form no part OF
/ the administration program at the
present time"

The Shenandoah Sentinel Post
complains that "the picture of Pat
Grove as given in the Omaha
papers throws us all off the track
He looks like a, minister, lawyer or a
bank president, rather than a criminal
i We expected to see low browed, cum
ming repulsive face. Instead his is q
fine intellectual looking head and
pleasant countenance. In an editorial
convention he would be selected as the
brightest man in the lot. Have they
got the wrong man or is Pat Grove
a gentleman and scholar? Now let
us have the picture Of that school SUI
perintendert of Peoria who euchered
the school district out of 100000 and
did 1t SO shrewdly that no one ever
dreamed of being robbed-let us have
his picture beside that of Pat Grove.
What he did was as surprising and as
daring a feat as Pat Groves kidnap-
ping feat"
