congressman were of minor signih.

congressman were Of minor signifi-
canoe, anyway.
1t is true. as the f. and l.. argues.
that the governorship in Iowa has
come to stand for the republican party
of the state abroad, but why is it so?
Is 1t not BECAUSE Governor Cummins
politics by his fearless advocacy of
reciprocity and tariff revision policies?
Was he not nominated on a platform
declaring for tariff changes and no
shelter to monopoly and did he not go
thru two fierce campaigns and secure
a unanimous re- affirmation of the
shelter plank in the conventions of the
first and second years after his nomi-
nation? Subsequently he compromised
himself into the hole. It's true. but he
did it voluntarily and wrote his own
platform and the next year was defeat
ed in the national delegate convention
solely because of the perfidy of the
congressman from the Seventh district.
But during all these years. while
Cummins has stood before the nation
as the republican party of Iowa, has
it had any effect on Iowa's delegation
in congress? If Roosevelt should push
tariff revision and reciprocity before
the present congress would he receive
the support of Iowa in the halls OF
legislation: 1t Is all right to keep reg
itsering public sentiment rightly in
these governorship contests, but is
that enough? Who Is going to cast
Iowas vote on these questions, If not
the congressman and the senators!
The only defeat Cummins has re-
ceived was when he tried to do what
the r. and L. is now trying to do; VIZ.
to keep his hands off the congressman
from the Seventh district. So far as
the T.-R. is concerned it has not been
in a hurry about these things, firmly
believing that public sentiment would
force results In due time but the T.-R
is ready for the test to De applied to
the congressman from the Seventh dis
trict. and from the Fifth and from all
districts, and to the senators as well as
to governor. 1t would seem that con-
sistency Of purpose should bring the
r. and L. to the same conclusion. The
R. and l.. asserts that If we are gagged
with harmony now the Iowa idea is as
dead as last years birds nest, but it
would seem that 1t might as well be
dead if it is never to reach the leg
islative halls Of congress.

Family Connections and Rusineas
Don't Mix Well, According to "old
t,Gorgon."
I'm sorry you ask so many questions
that you haven't a right to ask, be-
cause you put yourself in the position
of the inquisitive bull pup who started
out to smell the third rail on the troll
ley right of way. You're going to be
full of information in minute.
In the first place, it looks as If bust
ness might be pretty good this fall,
and I'm afraid you'll have your hands
so full in your place as assistant man
ager of the lard department that you
won't have time to run my job too.
Then l don't propose to break any
quick promotion records with you just
because you happened to lie born into
job with the house. A fond father
and fool son hitch up into bad
team, and good business makes a
poor family carryall. Out of business
hours | like you better than any Oae
at the office, but in them there are
about twenty men ahead Of you in my
affections. The way for you to get
first place is by racing fair and square
and not by using your old daddy as
springboard from which to jump over
their heads. A mans son is entitled to
chance in his business, but not to
cinch.
It's been my experience that when
o4{;n to lilo n frrofIv
tree you'll find worms tucked away
snug and cheerful in most Of the ap-
pies. A fellow with an office full OF
relatives is like SOW with litter of
pigs-apt to get a little thin and peak
ed as the others fat up. A receiver
is next Of kin to business mans rela-
tives, and after they are all nicely set
tied in the office they're not long in
finding Job for him there too. l
want you to get this firmly fixed In
your mind, because, while you haven't
many relatives to hire, If you ever get
to be the head of the house you'll no
doubt marry few with your wife.
After you have found ninety-nine
sound reasons for hiring man it's
all right to let his relationship to you
be the hundredth. It'll be the only
bad reason in the bunch.
Some men are like oak leaves-they
don't know when they're dead, butstill
hang right on, and there are others who
let go before anything has really touch
ed them. OF course may be in the
first class. but you can be dead sure
that l don't propose to get into the
second, even though l know lot of
people say Pm an old hog to keep
right along working after I've made
more money than know how to spend
and more than could spend if knew
how. They believe that money ought
to loaf; l believe it ought to work.
They believe that money ought to go to
the races and drink champagne; l be-
lieve that it ought to go to the office
and keep sober.
l don't mind owning up to you,
though, that l don't hang on because
I'm indispensable to the business, but
because business is indispensable to
me. | don't take much stock in this
indispensable man idea anyway. I've
never had one working for me, and If
I had I'd fire him, because the fellow
who's as smart as that ought to be in
business for himself, and IL he doesn't
get chance to start new one he's

cAnDtDAclEs AND RECIPROCITY.

Senator Funk and the Register and
Leader have been furnishing amuse-
ment for politicians In their rather in
teresting colcQuy on the subject of
harmony. Baited by the politicians of
his district Funk was compelled to adj
NIT that if Mr.. Perkins should seek a
nomination for governor he would re-
ceive the united support of his district,
which, Of course. would include Funk.
The Register and Leader, taking cruel
delight in Funk's embarrassment,
promptly declared this was no year for
candidates. SO narrow as district can-
didacies nor for harmony candida .es
Of any kind, that "a movement was
started four years ago" for reciprocity
and tariff revision which ought to be
fought out in the nomination OF the
mex. governor. Funk saw his opening
end quickly returned by inqulring Of
the Register and Leader whether it
would apply the same tests to the
SeleCIlOu VI OIllcSu otdlcS ScldlOlS dlA
congressman ami especially as to the
congressman from the Seventh district.
Now. If there is any kind of an ex-
plosive that Is to- be handled with care
in Des Moines it is that question as to
congressman from the Seventh dis
trict. If Funk had been less heartless
in is repartee he would have handed
the r. and L. editor cannon cracker
and asked him to smoke it. however,
the man who enters encounters should
expect to receive punishment as well
as to give 1t and the r. and L. should
have stood up manfully with frank
acknowledgment that when the major
fly OF republicans Of Iowa favor reci-
procity and tariff revision the test
should be applied TO congressman and
senators and even to our own con-
sressmen without fear or favor. But
the r. and L. proved disappointing. It
sought to escape embarrassment at
home by long explanation that people
had grown so queer as to prefer to
contest these great principles Of ma
tional policy over the governorship
and that the Offices Of senator and

"sLopplAe OVER"

CITY Republican are apparently oi oiie
VIVID at least upon one matter. Fol-
lowing the Wallace incident the ne
n,1h,,can consulted a half dozen" OF
the hest minds in Iowa City VINO
agreed that Secretary of War Tart had
stopped over in his verbal castiga-
tion of ex-Chief Engineer Wallace
and that the president had been too
fast. Here was a. jury OF seven fully
agreed and unanimously of opinion
and the fatal verdict was rendered
against the administration in favor OF
Mr.. Wallace. Now comes the New
York Press. saying "if Mr.. Roosevelt
were not the president of the United
states most Of his almost incessant
slow of language would be directed
from the great channels of commune
cation to the editorial waste basket"
The Press evidently thinks Mr.. Roose-
velt "slops over" That makes eight.
However much Secretary Tafts
plain talk to Engineer Wallace may
have Jared on the sensitive tympan-
ums at Iowa City the general public
subscribed to its sentiment and de-
lighted to see Mr.. Wallace "sit for his
picture" Iowa City's population ap-
proximates 5000, and we have heard
but seven voices raised in adverse cri-
ticism Of the war secretary. Prob
ably this is about the correct proper
ton.
= President Roosevelt, as the Press
asserts, talks great deal, but his
almost incessant flow of language"
is for better living and cleaner gov
eminent. It is question whether or
not the men who speak always for the
right can talk too much and the pres
ident's voice falls like fountain
night and day for the higher standards
in private and public life. And he
lives up to his prscept and profession.
Such insistence Of word and deed may
and does harssy and annoy. Mr.. Mach
en- and others found Presidents Roose-
velts strenuousness Of speech and
practice highly embarrassing. He has
talked and acted himself out of favor
with certain corporate interests and
the newspapers that serve them. Fed
eral office holders who look on pub
lie office as a private snap are very
naturally Disguised with the presi-
dents '1ncessant flow Of language"
His expressed sentiments disturb "har-
mony." The president talks too much
for their peace Of mind.
However while the president and
Secretary Taft talk along the lines
they have heretofore followed the
country will listen and applaud the
vigor Of their language Probably one
person in thousand will charge them
with stopping over" and a newspaper
now and then object to their prolixity
but the masses are very well suited,
thank you. with both Roosevelt and
his war secretary.

words she says: "Now, take your tiery

down that five hundred foot garden.

long it requires to swallow a pasture
large enough to feed a cow" Continu-
ing the lady says in her own words:
"Put down that glass of gin-there Is

worth s4S.56 per acre. What an enor-
nous acreage has gone down many a

Old People have more of the pains,

cause their blood is not SO vigorous, nor
their powers of resistance SO great, and

ton could resist often afhict them.
