An Iowa newspaper spoke recently
of the opening of the "Simpleton" tun-

Simplon with some other bore.
The Isle of Pines threatens peanut
rebellion.
A clause in the rules issued by the
Sioux City school board provides tina.
NO games of chance shall be allowed
in and about any of the school house
yards" This is probably in order to

licensed gamblers.

The allegation that "the fight on
Governor Cummins has come largely
thru the congressional delegation at
Washington must be treated as hum
orous by any one who is acquainted
with the facts. If the congressional
delegation were in fact fighting Cum
Minis he would not have carried his
home county He would not have al
most a solid Tenth district at his back.
He would not have the support of al
most a solid Fourth district He would

Up to the time the Elkins letter APP
peared the "humor" of the situation
had not developed Deliver was writ
ing interviews Hull was home hope
fully looking for sentiment in the
Seventh that would admit his fighting
Cummins and keeping his own scalp
securely on his head. Hubbard was
hustlng over the Eleventh paying his
debt to Perkins and incidentally knock
ing down whole panels of his own
fences. Smith, taking heart from Dol
liver's boldness, was out for Herriott.
The Third and Tenth district Is blessed
with congressman who have no COR
poration debts to pay Mr.. Cummins
took Perkins district away from him
against Mr. Hubbard. The Tenth came
to him under the frown of Dolliver.
The humorous part of this is that
Elkins' letter opened the peoples eyes
to the concerted movement. Uncle
George may see the humor but
he isn't smiling over it.
None ever climbed to mountain height
of song
But felt the touch of some good
woman's palm;
None ever reached Gods altitude of
calm,
But heard one voice cry, Follow from
the throng.

Oh, the green things growing, the
green things growing,
The faint sweet smell of the green
things growing!
How they talk each to each. when
when none of us are knowing;
I love, 1 love them SONY green
things growing!

For by many a tender touch, they
comfort me so much,
With the soft mute comfort of green
things growing.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.
The Boone News has noted ever and
anon that the "standpatters make use
of the threat that if Cummins is NOM
mated there is danger of the election
of a democratic governor. When all
other arguments fail this menace is re-
iterated in solemn tones. In the bitter
