4 Thing Of Beauty.

A thing of beauty is JOY forever;
Its loneliness increases; 1t will never
Pass into nothingness, but still will keep
A bower quiet for us and sleep
Full of sweet dreams and health and
quiet breathing;
Therefore on every morrow we are
wreathing
A f1owery band to bind us to the earth
Spite of dependence, Of the inhuman
dearth
OF noble natures, Of the gloomy days,
OF all the unhealthy and o'erdarkened
ways
Made for our searching--yes, in spite OF
all,
Some shape of beauty moves away the
From our dark spirits. Such the sum- the
moon,
Trees old and young, sprouting shady
boon
For simple sheep, and such are daRodils,
With the green world they live In, and
clear rills
That for themselves a cooling covert
make
'Gainst the hot season, the midforest
brake
Rich with sprinkling of fair musk rose
blooms,
And such, too, IL the grandeur Of the
dooms
We have imagined for the mighty dead,
All lovely tales that we have heard or
read,
An endless fountain Of immortal drink
Pouring unto us from heavens brink.
John Keats.
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1905-10-19
Some Noted Hawkeyes.

Iowa has never furnished president
or vice president of the republic,
though at one time one Iowan, General
David Bremner Henderson, was speak
er of the house of representatives, and
two others, Hon. James Wilson and
Hon. Leslie NJ. Shaw, were and still
are members of the cabinet. Out of
that trio of illustrious and ambitious
Hawkeyes only one presidential candi-
date developed, Mr.. Secretary Shaw,
for the all sufficient reason that Hen
derson ana Wilson. having been born
in bonnie Scotland, are, under the con-
stitution, ineligible to the presidency.
once told Mr.. Secretary Wilson that
one of my constituents, who was one
of his enthusiastic admirers, was much
troubled by the fact that he was barred
from the presidency, whereupon he re-
Piled: Il feel very much as did my
Scotch brother, Senator Beck of Ken
lucky, who always declared that he
thanked God that the place of his birth
prevented him from making a BANKED
fool of himself about the presidency,
as so many other statesmen did" So
there appears to be consolation even in
the most untoward accident

Internecine War.

Iowans are beginning to turn their
attention to economic questions, and
that is precisely what is causing the
internecine war among the Republicans
of that state.
Hon. Thomas Bracket Reed once
declared that there were so many sena-
torial employees housed in the Maltby
building in Washington that he under
stood that the floors We're sagging down.
There are so many Republican states
men ia Iowa that they are in each
others way and their majority is so
overwhelming that they think they can
afford to indulge in family fight la
the cats of Kilkenny. After they
emerged, badly SCARED, from the fam
lily fights over the granger legislation
and prohibition, Iowa Republicans
dwelt together in unity until Albert B.
Cummins ilnpinged upon the public
vision and SHE'D his castor into the
ring. His appearance in politics caus-
ed somewhat of an uproar in Republic
an circles. There being no place for
Cummins, all the good ones being pre-
empted, he proceeded to make one for
himself; hence the emeute among Iowa
Republicans.
Some close observers believe the fight
will be so bitter betwixt the stand pat
tiers and the anti-shelter-f or-monopoly
Republicans Of Iowa, the latter mar
shaded and led by Governor cummins,
the former led by the eleven Iowa Re
publican Representatives in congress,
that the opportunity may come to the
Democrats of recovering the state or
at least or electing four or five mem
bers of congress. Senators Allison and

An Interesting Character.

While Senator Allison's phenomenal
success in high office holding renders
his career and methods worthy of crit
zeal study by aspiring statesmen, by
long shot the most interesting charac-
ter in Iowa politics is Governor Albert
B. Cummins, the chief proprietor, pro-
ponent and illustrator of 1.-The Iowa
idea" The stand patters rolled" him
unceremoni0usly and with ghoulish
glee at the Chicago national convention
and yainly imagined he was done for
permanently, but to their amazement
and disgust he bobbed up serenely.
They recognize now the unpalatab Bile
truth that he is a man to be reckoned
with, and they regard him as sort of
political "old man of the sea- 70
mere locker on in the Iowa Vienna it
seems to he a fight to a finish. Cum
Minis cannot recede without losing his
following. He cannot advance without
killing off one or more Republican
statesmen. How did he get into the
center of the stage and under the glare
of the limelight? 1t is an interesting
story. In 1885, when Ex-Governor John
FL. Gear senatorial term was drawing
to close, he wanted a second term.
There was some objection to him be-
cause he lived at Burlington, while
Senator Allison lived in Davenport,
both on the Mississippi river. Ambi-
tious men in the interior coveted bis
seat. Leslie NJ. Shaw was governor.
Iowa had eleven able Republican con-
gressmen. Two or three were men of
unusual capacity. Shaw and most Of
the congressman wanted to succeed
Gear. but white he was stricken in
years and IN feeble health, he was q
dangerous customer to tackle Not one
OF the twelve who We're longing for his
place believed he would live out the
new term 10 which be aspised and not

field against the veteran. So, either by
agreement or accidentally, they con-
cluded to give him a clear field, each
expecting him to die opportunity and
each hoping to succeed him, nobody
dreaming Of enc ALERT B. Gummins, a
Des Moi.ies lawyer in good practice,
but without political prestige. To the
surprise Of everybody Cunainins took
it into his head to contest with Gear
and to the greater surprise Of every
booy came with tWo o.. three votes of
Eaating hin III tie legislature, though
aeaatof Gear was supported by his SON
in-law, Hon. J. w Biz the, chief attor-
ney for the Burlington and a most
kstute politician; by Senator William b.
Allison, by Governor Leslie Nj. Shaw
and by practically the entire Iowa dele
cation III congress. Governor Gear got
the Office by the skin of his teeth, but
the victory really belonged to Cnmnlins
and made him a marked man. People
began to regard him as a rising sun.
Governor Gear was elected in January,
1900, for a term of six years, begin
ming March 4, 1901, and died in the
early sg1zalner Of 1900, before his old
term expired. There were several can
didates for the appointment to succeed
him. A large number of persons
thought Cummins ought to have it, but
Governor Shaw took different view
and gave the plum to Dolliver.

The iowa Idea.

In the meantime Cummins had been
industriously propagating his Iowa
idea and made unexpected Roadway
with it He worked up such support
for himself and his idea that he could
not be ignored with safety, so in 1901
he was nominated for two year term
as governor. The leaders accepted him
ungraciously. just as certain woman
married a certain man to get rid of
him, but the second condition of the
aforesaid leaders was worse than the
first. for Cummins having the conven-
ton well in hand, proceeded to ram
his idea" down the Threats of the
stand patters in these words of the
platform: I'VE favor : = any modifi-
cation of the tariff schedules that may
be required to prevent them becoming
a shelter for monopoly
Twas famous victory" for Cum
Minis and his ..idea," and he was tri-
umphantly elected. When be came up
in 1903 for denomination the stand pat
tiers had mended their hold and seem to
have controlled the platform commit
tee, for here is their substitute for the
Cummins, or Iowa, idea" Duties
that are too low should be increased,
and duties that are too high should be
reduced But, while they could die
tate the platform, they could not die
tate the candidate, and Cummins was
renominated and reelected for two
years more. Since then. to get rid of
+hn r,7d x,oa, aloa+io,,c y,;c, ,,roc n,+ 4s,.r,,
was increased to three years, so he will
be governor until January, 1907.
Everybody in Iowa is asking, "And
after that, what?" He is too young
and too ambitious to voluntarily relin-
quish public life, of which he seems
enamored anu for which he possesses
many qualifications.
If he desires to continue his public
career there are three courses open to
him-frst, to contest for Senator ALI
sons seat in the senate, performance
of extreme hazard; second. to contest
with ex-Lieutenant Governor ]. A. T.
Hull for the position of representative
in congress from the Des Moines dis
trict, also difficult stunt, as Hull has
a strong machine of his own and no
yearning for private life; third, to stand
for a third term in the gubernatorial
Office, which the stand patters would
probably concede to him to keep him
out of either branch of congress.
Not long since in an elaborate inter
view in the Washington Post Governor
Cummins made proclamation that the
only way to secure tariff revision
downward is to elect to congress Re-
publicans who are in favor of revision,
which seems like deliberate challenge
to the entire Iowa delegation in con-
gress. Perhaps his desire in that di-
rection may lead him to enter the lists
against Congressman Hull. If Cum
Minis, who has a compact organization
of his own all over the state, makes
open war on the entire Iowa congress
sional delegation there will be some
thing doing sure enough in the Repub-
lican camp in Iowa.

Especial Washington letter.

Especial Washington letter.
wOWA is the Republican storm cen
ter. she is magnificent COM
.M monwealth-one Of the five great
est agricultural states in the
Union, the other four being Missouri,
Kansas, Illinois and Texas.
The Hawkeyes take to politics, most
ly of the Republican variety, natural
~ as a duck takes to water.
She was Democratic state till the
slavery question became paramount,
when she became Republican, and has
cast her vote for every Republican
nominee for president. She has been
considered for half century as re-
Hably Republican as Pennsylvania.
With the exception of the Prohibition
episode, during which and as a result
of which she twice elected Horace
Boies governor, she Las remained firm
in the faith, choosing Republicans for
all state offices with astounding regu-
larity. Once since the organization Of
the Republican party she sent con-
gressional delegation to Washington a
majority of whom were Democrats.
Since the term of George Wallace
Jones expired March 4, 1859, she has
had no Democrat in the senate of the
United States. Even Pennsylvania
elected one. In that regard Iowa is
more steadfast than the Keystone
State.
From the beginning Iowa has sent to
both branches of congress men of a
high order of ability, whatever their
politics.
Her first two senators, General Au-
gustus Caesar Dodge and General
George Wallace Jones, were both Mis-
sourians.
1t is an interesting fact that while
st. Genevieve, Mo-, was still q village
containing not more than thousand
inhabitants, six persons resided there

Thomas II. Benton, George w. Jones,
Henry Dodge, Augustus Caesar Dodge,
Lewis F. Linn and Lewis " Bogy, the
last of whom Benton, in the bitter war
fare of his closing years, scornfully de-
nominated Bogus
When Augustus Caesar Dodge and
George Wallace Jones reached Wash
ington in 1913 as United States sena-
tors, having lost their baggage, they
found themselves without credentials.
Colonel Benton. then in the plenitude
of his power and at the meridian of his
fame, moved that they be sworn in
without credentials on the ground that
every Missourian is ex otiicio fit to be
a senator of the United States, and it
was so done.

Presidential Candidates.

If Cummins succeeds in overthrow
ing the Iowa stand pat delegates in
congress he will not only be the big
man that ever figured in the history of
the Hawkeye commonwealth. If he
does that in 1906 he will be the Iowa
Republican presidential candidate in
1903. but if he fiunks now it is easy to
predict his finish.
There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which. taken at the flood, leads on to
fortune.
That tide has come to him. If he has
the courage to take it at the food
there is no political position too high
for him to set his heart on. But he
would do well to ponder the rest of
Shakespeafe's philosophy on that head:
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shadows and in miseries.
Secretary Shaw will be the presi-
Dental candidate of the Hawkeye
stand patters. If Governor Cummins
fights boldly for his Iowa idea he
will be the presidential candidate Of
the Iowa reyisionists. If these two
should lock horns in joint discussion in
1906 there would be a contest worth
days journey to witness. The victor
would be nominated for president in
1908. There are in the Iowa situation
all the elements Of a great political
drama, perhaps Of great political
tragedy. Whether 1t will have thrill
ing denouement or prove a mere farce
depends entirely on the nerve of Cow
