Tending in this matter. The leading
daily papers that supported Perkins
keep rasping away at the sore spots

convention said who should be candi-

Cummins to be candidate, but since
the convention ratified that mistake
there is nothing to do but fight the old
enemy, instead of fighting among our

EIRsr VOTERS In 1906.

Eacn year IN the united states
nearly a million men attain the right
to vote The great majority of these
first voters are young men who have
reached their majority. This element
in elections is scarcely given the
weight to which it is entitled. In
fact, few realize that in each presi-
Dental year at least 20 per cent of
the vote is from this class. In the
closely contested election of 1896,
which brought out total vote OF
about 100000, more than 100000
were cast by men who had never be-
fore appeared at the polls in a ma.
tional election. 1t seems but short
time since the election of 1904, but in
the choice of congress this fall over
100000 first voters will be equalifed
to participate. Outside of naturali=a-
lions this vast number is composed Of
young men who will have passed the
age of 81 between November, 1904,
and November, 1906. 1t is the most
interesting and potential of all addi-
tons to an electorate. These young
men are entering upon much more
than political duties. Their social
and business careers are in the form
alive stage They should grasp clear
ly the value of the ballot to young
Americans. Their heritage is tie
United States, for upon them must
fall the responsibilities in the course
of the next quarter of century.
A young voter is generally influenc-
ed in politics by family environment,
but many of the ancestral, political
impressions, influences andd traditions
are effaced. Especially, ana happily,
is this true of prejudices and outworn
grudges. A man of 40 has no personal
recollection of the Civil war, the
greatest political chapter in the his
tory of the country during the last
century. Few first voters can be
swayed by any transmitted bitterness
of that struggle. They are confront
ed by live questions that enter into
their present and future activities.
The dominant party has been in ma
tional control nearly all the tlme for
forty-five years. 1t is in charge Of all
branches of the government at this
time. For the young voter the main
issue is: Shall the Republican parry
be deprived of its present legislative
power? Shall its policies be con-
demned and reversed? Shall its rec
ord Of performance be condemned,
and the reins of authority be handed
to some other party, or the wheels be
blocked? There will be legislative
deadlock II the house elected this
fall has an opposition majority.
A protective tariff is a sharply de-
fined question in the campaign OF
1906. First voters must necessarily
divide upon 1t. Do they wish to pro-
tect American wages and industries
from foreign competition, or open
wide the ports to the products <0r
cheap foreign labor, admitting It free
from any duty of home protective
nature? Do first voters prefer to
make the next house Democratic, and
so cut off the present administration
from legislative support during its
last two years? These are practical
business questions for 100000 first
voters who are themselves, for the
most part, just engaging in business.

Fairfield Ledger: ]. j. Hamilton,
half-breed republican who was edl.
tor of the Des Moines News, guerilla
newspaper, for many years, has been
an ardent advocate of free trade with
Canada, immediate tariff revision anu
other democratic policies. Like 9TH
ers of his ilk he has been constantly
quoting President Roosevelt as in IA
vor of the doctrines he has been
preaching. Hamilton has been com
PEELED to admit that the Republican
party of the nation is not with HIM.
He has also learned that the farmers
of Iowa are not with him. In a re-
interview he declares:
81 believe l am in principle a more
radical reVisionist than Governor
Cummins but l should regard it as
right and proper for the governor to
drop the tariff issue until times and
conditions are more suspicious for
carrying the agitation to successful
conclusion. To my mind the recent
campaign demonstrates that there is
little popular sentiment in favor OF
tariff changes and very much against
them. No other construction can be
placed on many of the local results
than that the farmers are to large
extent standpatters. ..

Sioux City Journal: Young man,
be a gentleman. 1t is just as easy as
being rowdy, and it pays a whole
lot better. There is nothing smart In
being tough" The kids you see
nowadays who are rowdies, who get
drunk and swear, and make general
all round asses of themselves, are the
fellows who in later years fill the
poor houses and the jails. They are
the ones who have no homes, no
friends, no money, the ones the pc.
licemen tell to move on. If you play
ball, be a gentleman. The crowd will
applaud you a whole lot when you
make a good play, and guy you when
you make an error. The gentleman
has friends everywhere - the rowdy
none. The rowdy and the tough come
to a premature old age of want and
privation; the gentleman lives long
and walks in green pastures, with
friends to help him over the rough
spots. Be a gentleman, because it
will pay you dividends when about ev-
erything else is below par. Be gen
tleman, and in the final wind up it
will bring flowers to your bier and eu-
logies to your memory.

There is a widespread impression
that the Indians are dying out but
those who have carefully studied the
question believe that there are more
Indians in the United States today
than there were when Columbus land
ed The Indians were never populous.
They were too much at war. They
roamed the prairies and hunted
through the forests, but they never
had local habitations and were never
many in one particular spot. The first
actual census of the Indians was TAX
en- seventy years ago. At that time
there were found to be 253,464. Prior
to that time everything had been by
guess. Beginning with the count of
1886 the official reports of Indian pop
ulation are as follows: In 1860, at the
beginning of the civil war, there were
256,127. In 1900 there were 272,023

The first session of the 59th con-
gress, following the standard set by
nearly everything else during 1905-6,
was a record-breaker, fact which is
shown by the index of the Congress
sional Record, now in process Of print
ing. Not only is the index the biggest
one for many year, but the Record
itself and the House Journal are i'm
posing in the number of pages contain
ed in each. The Journal, which is the
guide and law Of the House, is the
largest ever recorded for a first ses-
sion, being nearly three times as
large as that of the first session of the
5Sth congress, since its pages reach
the surprising total of 5000. Although
more care than usual has been given
to the work of getting out the perma.
nent edition of the Congressional Rec
ord, it will be ready for distribution
about the usual time. From 1t can be
seen that for the length of the first
session OF the present congress-sev-
en- months-more work was done and
more accomplished in the way of en-
acting new laws than at any previous
first session Of the same length Of
time in the history Of the country.
