CONGRESSMAN SEE
THE HANDWRITING
Iowa's Delegation Will Gracefully
Aquiesce in the Renomina-
ton of Cummins. Z
SpeciaI to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Des Moines, Iowa, July 5.-The mem
ers of the Iowa delegation in congress
have returned home gracefully resigned
to the. denomination of Governor A. B.
Cummins. While it is fact that al
most the entire delegation was opposed
to Cummins at the commencement of
the campaign, all are now willing to
concede him the victory and the less
ado there is in declaring him the
party 8 nominee the better satisfied the
FEDERAL contingent will be. Any attempt
to steal the convention or place an
independent ticket in the field will get
no sympathy from the congressman.
Congressman j. A. T. Hull on his ar
rival IN Des Moines made the statement
that from all he could learn Cummins
had safe majority of the regular con-
vention delegates. ''~ =
~ believe whoever has a fair ma.
lority Of the delegates in the state con-
vention will get the nomination for
governor, - said Mr.. Hull. 'tThis talk
about one side or the other going to
steal the convention is all rot. The
people. of Iowa have too long had the
reputation for fairness and honesty for
anything of that sort. There is nearly
month yet before the convention, and
l am sure that in that time some salts
factory way will be found of adjusting
the present differences
Regarding Mr.. Perkins, arbitration
scheme, which was declined by Cover
nor Gummins, the congressman said:
really haven't thought very much
about it, but [ do not believe it would
succeed. The fact is that the state
convention itself will have to determine
those contests. 1t is the supreme an
thority and as view it, it is not even
subject to the courts. The national
committee might decide one way and
the state convention another regarding
the contests. Whatever the convention
does will have to stand. AS I said. 1T
IS the supreme authority regarding it's
own conduct and nominations.

Evasion Won't Pay.

Lumber manufacturers in Missis-
sippi have discovered a loophole in the
new rate regulation law, which they
think will render the provision prohib-
iting railroads engaging in any other
business than that Of transportation
innocuous, unless the courts close it.
The law makes 1t unlawful for a. rail-
road to transport any article or COM
modify, other than timber and manu-
featured products thereof, if the article
is manufactured, mined or produced by
it or under it's authority. or If it has
any interest in it directly or indirectly.
The timber exception was made for
the benefit of a few lumber roads,
whose principal business is the manu-
facture Of lumber, but it appears. now
that the exception was too generous
when it included the manufactured
products Of timber, as it may let in a
long list of articles made of wood, in
Guiding pitch, tar and turpentine, wood
alcohol, and even vehicles, machinery,
etc. This of course, would afford the
industries owned or controlled by rail-
roads great advantage over those of in
dependent manufacturers. The posi-.
bilities of evasion of this provision are
plain enough but it is also clear that
when the interstate commerce commits
sion hes tested this feature Of the, law
and has found that it not only may be
4 eabused,t but is abused the remedy is in
the hands of congress in the shape of
! an amendment. ~. ! u O. a
The rate regulation law was made to
be enforced in good faith. OF course
it is probably defective. These de-
fects will be remedied from time tt
time. The character of the remedy viii
depend good deal upon the disposition
of the railroad managers themselves

they will have no trouble. The people

that it won't pay. ......

Practical River Navigation.

Enormous possibilities Of river traf-
&c are involved in the statement made
to The Journal today by Mr. "A.
L. Croker, that government engineers
have found six-foot channel in the
upper Mississippi entirely feasible.
Some of the possibilities of such
waterway are outlined by Mr.. Crocker,
and they are enough to make the ship
ping interests of Minneapolis take fur
Their notice of the proposition.
The river as freight route has been
under a handicap because Of uncertain
= ty as to the stage Of water. Steamer
lines have not been able to make con-
tracts for business in advance, not
knowing when the river might fall and
put an end to navigation. With fair
I channel once assured, even four-foot
/ minimum, a vast amount OF tonnage
Z. could be secured in both directions.
IT could be handled at a cost lower
than any railroad could meet, even with
the barges loaded but one way. Once
deliver barges at Minneapolis and I'M
load them, and a rate will be made
. TlaG WILL lOaQ tneW 1OT Guo I6GuIu Lflp
:. Low rates in both directions would be a
tremendous stimulus, both to commerce
and industries. With the Improvement
of our water powers in Minnesota, man
ufactures would spring up and bring
saw material from great distances.
The government survey shows that a
siX-foot minimum channel can be main
tanned without any new dams, and at
little more cost than a four-foot mini
mum. On such a showing the states
along the upper Mississippi should be
able to secure the necessary appropria-
3. tions from congress for the work.
- The survey has been made at the in
stance Of the Upper Mississippi River
Improvement association, which has al
ready done great service, but is only
just beginning on career of useful
ness. The results of it's work mean as
much to Minneapolis as to any city on
the river, and perhaps very much more
1t is especially fitting, therefore, that
the association holds it's next meeting
In Minneapolis, next October. Up to
the last few months local business inter.
z ests have not been disposed to take the
waterway proposition seriously, but
they are now beginning to arouse to q
f sense of it's Importance, and the coming
meeting will, no doubt, demonstrate
that Minneapolis is no longer asleep.

A Narrow Supreme Court.

The recent election in Denver, when
the people by referendum vote Of
propertyholders apparently decided
against municipal ownership Of certain
franchises and in favor of renting the
rights to private persons, gave rise to a
number of legal proceedings, which
have now all been Strengthened out by
the supreme court to the satisfaction Of
the corporations. -...---...... 4. :. /.
Before the election Judge johnson of
the district court had issued a blanket
injunction against all election officials
in enioining them from committing
election offenses. -Four days after
election, on proper showing that his
iniunctions had been violated, he is.
sued number of subpenas and took
testimony. Tho corporations went to
the supreme court and secured tempo
rary order restraining him from further
proceedings in the matter. This order
the supreme court has now made perma
nent in an opinion in which it claims
the exclusive right to issue such iniunc
tons as Judge johnson sought to put
in force. c,r
Meanwhile there appears to be nc
remedy for the people who believe
great wrong was done at the election
that fraud was committed which viii
ated the election and that as q matter
of fact the property owners Of Denver
did not vote franchises to the appli
-
pears to be more concerned about it,
sovereign jurisdiction than about the
honesty Of the election.
One would suppose that supreme
court, actuated by the desire to pro
tect the people in the enjoyment o.
their sovereign rights, which are more
vital than those of the supreme court
would have set aside technicalities Q!
law and co-operated with the lowe
court in an effort to learn the truth ant
punish the guilty if any were found
The corporations could lose little O.
nothing by the delay in putting thei
plans in effect by an, inquiry into tn
honesty of the election. If they real
ly carried the city the fact would sool
be known. If they did not carry tn
city the supreme court by Juggling
with words about jurisdictions ha
| made it possible for the corporations t
grab by fraud certain valuable, license
which the people by their honest vote
denied.
The willingness Of the supreme cour
to stand on a narrow ground Of juris
diction will not commend it.. to tn
people of Colorado when much more in
pcrtant questions were at issue.

The Passing of Cromwell.
