PEACE TALK IN IOWA
HARMONY MAY PREVAIL IN RE.
PUBLICAN CONVENTION.
COMMITTEES ENDS ITS WORK
Decides to Give Seats in the co,yen-
ton Today to the Perkins Delegates
From Jefferson, Jasper, WapeIlo,
Dallas and Audubon Counties.

Des Moincs, Ia. Aug. 1.-The Re-
pleted it's work late last night. AS
anticipated, it decided to give seats
in the convention today to the sixty
Perkins delegates, representing Jas
per, Jefferson and Wapello counties.
In addition the committee voted to
let in eighteen Perkins delegates from
Dallas and ten from Audubon. AS
Governor Cummins claims TO have SIS
delegates, not counting the sixty del
egates first mentioned, concerning
whose seats it was admitted there
might be question, his loss, if the
the committee on credentials, will he
twenty-eight giving him S57. 1t re-
quires S21 to make nomination.
In the cases of the other seven
counties in which contests were made
en- behalf OF Perkins, the committee
agreed to admit the Cummins dele
gates. In two, Polk and Boone, they
heard arguments, but in the other five
had before them only the document
airy evidence.
The Cummins people went fnso con-
ference as soon as the announcement
was made TO agree on program to be
followed by them in the convention.
The Cummins faction insist upon,
assurances that no attempt will be
made to contest any delegations after
the temporary organization is effected.
1t is quite probable that the Cummins
people will receive the assurances de-
mar ded, and that the convention will
have no features except those attend
ant upon a political gathering where
several candidates are aspirants for
the same position.
The talk among delegates was
about peace-not exactly peace at
sny price," but peace in order to
avoid the possibility of two state tick
cts and the risk of the loss of the
state Offices and of two or three con.
gressmen in the close districts.
The movers for peace were the
Iowa delegation in congress They
met and speedily came to the con-
clusion that it was necessary to have
peaceful convention and nominate
one ticket. Following this meeting,
members of the state central commit
tee were told that they should take
no action which mig5ht result in a
split convention and two tickets.

Good Weather for Harvest.

Des Moines, Aug. 1.-The Iowa crop
report for the week says: THE con.
ditions were favorable for finishing
the harvest of hay, oats and barley,
and in the larger part of the state
these crops have been put into shocks,
stacks or barns. Threshing of barley
and oats is in progress and reports
of yield show fair returns. In the
spring wheat districts that crop is
ready for harvesting, with good pros
poets as to yield. The corn crop still
maintains its high standard In all Sec
tons, giving promise of more thbl an
average yield"

We have said some harsh things abou
democratic officials and democratic
candidates but we have kept clearly
within the limits of the truth in 81

we have made a misstatement we
have been the first to admit and cor

We never have gratuitously insult

Pennsylvania Reduces Rates,

Philadelphia, Aug. Important
changes in passenger rates were an
nounced by the Pennsylvania railroad
following meeting of the board of
directors Of that corporation. The
company has decided to reduce the
maximum one-way fare from 3ia and
cents to 2la cents mile. This &C.
ton will involve REIMBURSEMENT of all
through fares from the south, and
owing to the vast amount of work
entailed by the change, the new rate
of fare will not become operative for
some time, probably Nov. 1.

In almost all cases Americans as
sumo the combative. 1t may be noted
in both political and religious life.
Debate is supposed to be a means to
an end. Men indulge in it for the os-
tensible purpose of knowing the truth
but the fact is that debate and truth
hold the most distant relation. They
are not even second cousins. Two
men sit down to discuss the most or.
binary subject. They wrangle 70,
hours and arrive at nothing. The
fact is that discussion confirms, but
seldom changes. 1t is hot oven ir
which to bake opinions. AS the over
burns so the opinion hardens. The
real purpose of all discussion is tt
prove that we are right and the rest
OF humanity wrong. Our mission is
to enlighten and not to learn. OF
course there are exceptions, but not
enough for respectable minority.
Religion and politics are the happ,
hunting grounds for the controversial
list. He takes to these fields as the
hound does to his scent. At times GU,
country is transformed into vast de.
batting club. The campaign orator
"views with alarm and "points with
pride" just as he has been doing fol
the last hundred years. But the mum
Der convinced are after all very few
Men will be aroused, but not convert
ed. So far as conviction is concerned
the most of US have passed that stage
years ago. Many of US deceive our
selves. Ringgold Record.

In this issue we publish the an
nouncement of Robert Meisner of
Schleswig as candidate for Sheriff
on the republican ticket. 1t is heal
thy sign for republicans that men no
longer have to be dragooned and draf-
ted to serve as republican candidates.
1t is recognized by all that Crawford
is,to say the least,a close county, and
under the new election law each man
must run largely on his own merits.
Mr.. Meisner is marshal of Schleswig
a republican elected in a democratic
town because he is the best man for
the place. He is bright, Keen. fear
less young man. He is of good char
acter and is we'll liked and popular
with all who know him. His friends
at Schleswig are enthusiastic in his
support and claim that he will poll a
very large vote in that vicinity regard
less of politics.
The Review does not wish to pose
as would be dictator of party nomin-
ations as does its democratic compel
itor, but we can fairly say that Mr..
Meisner seems to have an abundance
of those qualities which would make 6
first class sheriff. He has had ex-
perience as a peace officer and would
be fine sheriff. Tom Meehan ought
to be beaten and perhaps MIR. Meisnel
is the man to do it. At any rate his
candidacy deserves sincere and careful
consideration at the hands of the repub-
licans of the county.

THE LAWS ARE CHANGED.
New Naturalization Law Goes Into
Effect in December. Read This
Carefully.

The new naturalization law, which
will into go effect Sept. q, has been
received by the local officers who will
have to do with the making of Amer
lean citizens. The law is one that
contains many new features and
shows that wholesale naturalization
simply for election purposes cannot be
continued, and that the privilege of
becoming an American citizen must be
deserved before it can be acquired.
The circuit court, instead of the coun-
ty clerk will hereafter have jurisdic-
tion in naturalization.
In the past there was little regu-
lation of this important matter, but
under the new law a system is provid-
ed and will entail an annual amount
of work, yet it will have provisions
that should have been incorporated ir
the laws long ago.
Declarations must be made hereafter
in open court at stated sittings, which
have been made public, and announce.
ments are made of the intention Of
the applicant for citizenship papers.
All applicants must be eighteen
years of age and when applying for
first papers must give their age, occu-
patton, place of birth, last foreign
residence, name of the vessel on which
they came to the United States. and
also the name of the wife, if appli-
cant is married man.
All applicants for citizenship papers
must file their second papers not less
than two years after the first petition,
but within seven years, and when the
declaration for second citizenship pa
pers is made notice must be posted
by the court Office r not less than nine
ty days before the date of the sitting
of court, in which notice it must be
stated all the particulars of the appli-
cant.
All applicants must be able tc
speak the English language before
papers will be issued. 1t will be
more expensive in the future to secure
naturalization papers also, and fee
of SIS must be collected before the fna
papers are delivered. When the alier
makes his first declaration of a desire
to become an American citizen he
must pay 81, when the petition for the
second papers is made an additiona
fee of So is collected and after the
ninety days time has expired they car
secure their final papers on the pay.
ment of an additional 50, making the
total SIS.
Another clause of the law is that nc
papers shall be granted an applicant
within a thirty day of any general cleo
ton, and when the final papers are
made they are to be done in dupli
cate, one set being kept by the issu
ing officer, and properly indexed ant
bound in book, the duplicate cop.
being sent to the bureau of immigra
ton at Washington, D. c., where i
will be placed on file and complete
record kept in that city of all alien
who are Americanized.
The hearing of all final application
is to be made in open court, and op
portunity will be given for those VIII
might have objections to the natural
ization of an applicant, especially i
it was being done for political pur
poses. The Moline, Illinois Evening

We shall be glad indeed when this
awful war is over. Our exchange for

old republicanism and allow them
selves to think of something besides
factionalism.
