The Ida County Pioneer says 1.-THE
quarrel between Cummins and Shaw
must not be permitted to wreck the re-
publican party bf Iowa" We should
say not. No party can afford to lend
itself to the personal fortunes OF any
man. What ambition has inspired in
the minds Of these eminent IoWans
must he and will be subject to public
Judgment based upon the public good.
But such differences as may exist
among republicans Of Iowa are no
more due to personal relations between
Cummins and Shaw than are national
differences due to personal relations
between Roosevelt and Elkins. Were
all'these men to die tonight the issues
with which each Is identified would be
even more than ever alive
Republicans Of Iowa who consider
strained party relations merely per-
sonal matter take superficial view OF
a serious political situation. II would
be an easy matter to put quietus up
on the ambitions Of the governor and
his predecessor and to take the quar-
rel' entirely out of their hands II this
would restore harmony and promote
mere incidents in the annals OF their
generation. They did not create. they
cannot destroy issues and conditions
underlying pending discussion. AS
men Of ability and prominence they
are logical leaders OF public move
ments but either must stand or fall as
the public accepts or repudiates prin-
ciples and philosophy AS discussion
proceeds lit will be more and more ap-
parent that each represents distinct
school OF American politics which IS
the logical product Of comparatively
new conditions and Of phases OF hui
man. character as old as the race.
The sooner these facts are understood
the better 1t will be for the republican
party and All concerned. At the bar OF
public opinion issues are Joined and
the jury awaits the evidence and argu-
ment. Cheap wits may sheer, blind
partisans may shrek and the timid
may temporize, but all such vanity IS
without leading and foreign to the
reckoning that must occur. 1t were
better for standpatter and for anti to
keep cool, avoid personalities and get
down to business. elimination and
recrimination is idle. To impugn the
motives OF the conscientious standpat-
ter is to invite misfortune. II IT might
succeed the attempt to drive Cummins
out of the party and to fix upon strong
republicans newspapers the stigma OF
irregularity dark, dark indeed were
the future Of republication. Let us
try the issues in open court and wash
our dirty linen in the basement.

4 DEMOCRATIC VIEW.

The several cabinet officers are "ual-
derstuod' by the Baltimore Sun. to
he cutting down as much as possible
their annual estimates, with view to
prevent tariff legislation during the
coming session Of congress-. The deli
cit" the Sun argues. III nothing is
done in the Limo Of retrenchment, will
compel the reduction of tariff taxes as
n means Of getting more revenue.
Hence the interest OF the Administered
ton In economy The president some
time ago urged tariff reform on It's
merits. but the standpatters insist that
the Dngley rates are perfect and must
not be touched. Secretary Taft Will
cut the estimates OF the war depart
ment, 1t lis stated, as much us $9,000.-
600. The secretary of commerce and
labor will try to econonrize to the ex-
tent OF 100000 and the secretary Of
the interior to the same extent. Other
secretaries are relied upon to save
smaller sums, but the secretary of
state wants more money than he has
been getting for the consular service.
AS both tho president and the eene-
tary OF the navy admire a
big navy. It is doubtful wheth-
er anything will be saved ON the navy
1t is hoped that total reduction or
some $15.000,000 may be effected in the
year ending June 80. 1907. According
to a treasury expert, the deficit now
is about s14.o0o,oOO against s2s,o0o,00o
a year ago. Hence the expectation that
a policy Of pairing down Will make
ends meet. The Panama canal excites
some solicitude, owing to the large
calls 1t makes for cash. An issue OF
$50, 900 OF Panama bonds has been
discussed, but while the available cash
In the treasury exceeds $l30,000,000.
such step will be, II possible.

"Can the railroads make kick or

that the roads are really worth the
amount of stock issued; that all the
"water" has been squeezed out. Sup
pose we admit the assertion as being
correct. The stock now outstanding is
nearly $4,000 for each mile of road
re Iowa roads are taxed on a valua-
ton of only or less than $4,000 per
mile. If the average value IS $5O,Ooo,

therefore, retirement. even enforced retirement

from the navy, does not necessarily even involve
discontinuance of active work IN It, unless the

War veteran he gains by retirement, since he IS

The object of age retirement at sXty-twO two

general consensus of opinion then existing IN the ser

active work. Some years previously we had got
into much the same trouble we are in now. Having
then no way of disposing of old officers they had

The change in war-ships since then has been
greater than had before taken place in all the
centuries elapsed since ACtium The steam cruiser
of the 6o's bears little more resemblance to the
modern battle-ship than it does to Noahs Ark
And with changes in ships and indeed IN all war
material on them, have come equally great changes
in the naval officers profession. The grades through
which he rises are no longer mere milestones mark
ing his onward progress. They indicate totally
different duties and the need in him of totally
different capacities.

skilled technical engineer. He now must be COM

captain duties OF which his predecessors knew
nothing; and to the admiral commanding the
SQUADRON the INTERPOLATION and coordination OF all
his units furnishes a separate speciality requiring
special education and experience Finally, IN like
manner the aggregation of squadrons in fleet
imposes on the commandments another and
different set of administrative and executive duties
also involving special education and experience.
Instead, therefore, of merely passlvely waiting
for the grades to come down to him, the naval
officer of to-day must acquire and successfully
practise with the highest possible efficiency series
