FATE.

She thought that she would take hs
child
And seek some quiet peaceful spot
Where gracious nature sweetly smiled
And jeopardy and noise were not.
She journeyed to the country. whore
The valleys and the hills we're green:
She gave her darling freedom there
And breathed a blessing on the scene.
Alas how oft the wisest schemes
That people fashion go astray!
How oft our fairest. fondest dreams
Absolve to leave US in dismayl
Her darling tumbled from no tree.
Nor from the ancient cowshed fell;
Twas not her woeful lot to see
Them sadly fish him from the well.
But In the orchard on the hill
The apples dangled small and green!
IL they had staid In town she still
Might wear a smile and be serene

THE IOWA IDEA.

Tomorrow the Republicans OF Iowa will hold
a state convention at Des Moines. Inasmuch as
Governor Cummins has been ardent advocate
OF tariff revision a great deal was expected from
his campaign in the way of promoting revision.
Ii does not seem, however, that the Iowa
Idea" is TO cut such figure as was anticipated
Indeed Cummins is distinctly on the defensive and
will have difficulty in holding his own in the con-
venton. Tariff revision was clearly made the issue
between Governor Cummins and his opponent for
the gubernatorial nomination, George d. Perkins,
but is TO have lost much, il not all its force
Cummns' supporters have framed a tariff
plank TO be offered in the convention tomorrow for
inclusion in the platform, and decidedly weak pro-
nouncement is is. Such declaration as 1--WE are
uncompromisingly in favor of the American system
of protection coming from such stalwart re-
visionist Governor Cummins claims 10 be- can
be regarded as nothing short OF a substantial con-
cession to the stand-patters and il could have been
wrung from him only by the strongest pressure
AS TO the demand for revision in this Cummins
plank il may be said il is feeble and colorless and
far from the vigorous declaration the public
was led TO expect from the father of the Iowa
Idea" Is says, rather impotently, "We believe
that all inequalities in the tariff schedules, which
inevitably arise from changing industrial and COM
mercal conditions, should be adjusted from time 70

upon the protective system. we favor such reason.
