PRIMARY OF THEIR OWN.
[ CLEAR Lake Mirror.l


The most important and radical ac-
ton taken by the republican county
convention last Saturday was the
adoption of the system of nomination
by primary election In this county. The
rules adopted will be found in sup
plement to the Mirror this week. That
supplement should be read carefully so
that all republican voters will under
stand the method of procedure and 1t
should be saved for future reference.
County and township officers will be
nominated this year under the primary
system. Under it there will be no such
thing as snap caucuses. The primary
will be held all over the county at the
same time and there, will be abundant
time for every one to cast his vote. The
voting will be by secret ballot, the
Australian system being used, and as
nearly as possible the methods adopted
will be those In use at the general cleo
ton. The committeeman and two 9TH
er republican electors will be judges Of
election and will canvass the vote. The
returns from each precinct will be taxi
en- to Mason City and canvassed by the
county convention and the candidates
cast will be declared nominated and
their names will go on the official bal
lot to be voted at the general election
The system Is not complex. There are
quite a number of rules but these are
necessary to provide for different em-
ergencles and 1t will not be difficult,
for any one who tries. to understand
the methods of the primary election.
Each township will nominate It's
township officers, it's committeeman,
and its delegates to the county conven-
ton, at the same time and on the same
ballot. After this year candidates for
congress, for state, judicial, or district
office of any kind, can have their
names placed on the ballot by paying
the fee of $500, and the republicans
of the county can thus express their
choice for any of the higher offices.
Whoever receives the highest number
of votes, governor for the instance,
would receive the vote of this county
in the state convention.
Under this system every republican
elector will vote directly for the man
he wants. In theory it is the thing;
we viii see what it will do in practice.
Perhaps there will be complaints but 1t
should be remembered that there are
many complaints against the caucus
and convention systems. The new sys-
tenn should be given fair trial. They |
have 1t in other counties and none of
them think Of going back to the old |
system.

in one of the fiercest conventions al
Cedar Rapids ever known in the his
tory of Iowa republicanism. For hours
one afternoon the convention was held
be fought out and almost every public
man In sight was called upon for a
speech excepting Shaw. Altho he sat
In view and was the peer of all as a
speaker he was not wanted His friends
realized the weakness of his position
and his critics did not want to hear
from him. AT the close of that con-
vention Shaw was the deadest man
politically in Iowa. When Roosevelt
called him back to life again he did so
without consulting the majority SEN
timent of the republicans of his state.
Shaw when he entered the presidents
cabinet. AS secretary of the treasury
he might have recovered his lost repu-
tation in Iowa, but he was not built
that way. Being an able man, and this
no one has ever denied. he has been an
able official but as q statesman and
leader Shaw has given ample evidence
that he prefers to continue the friend
of the special interests. When the re-
publicans of his state resolve for con-
tariff changes that shall pre-
vent any schedule of the present tariff
Shaw lines up with Aldrich, and Elkins
ct al. in defense of the special interests
and the hogs with their feet In the
trough When some one proposes to
tax the people of the west for sub
sides to the overcapitalized syndicates
owning great merchant ships Shaw
puts himself at the head Of the propa-
ganda. He hopes to become candidate
for president and appeals directly to
the corporate interests against whom
Roosevelt has made his most strenuous
fight For these reasons the best
blood among republlcanism in Iowa

ions refuse to endorse him or even at

F.EBUKlNG SHAW.

The republicans of Hardin county, in
effect, followed the republicans of the
Tenth congressional district in rebuk-
ing Shaw. The only difference was
that in the congressional convention
some fool friend of Shaw's sought to
put he majority in the hole by intro
duchlg 4 resolution laudatory of Shaw
which was turned down, while in the
Hard in county convention the editor of
a re publican newspaper assumed the
aggressive by introducing a resolution
sof c,.nsure for Shaw which was passed
ana then withdrawn by request.
Secretary Shaw has invited trouble
of this kind by his eagerness to enter
the Iowa campaign in an effort to de-
feat the governor of the state whom
maj Drty OF the republicans of Iowa
think has conducted a far more credit
able administration than did Shaw in
the same office before him. Had Shaw
KEEP out of the fight the republicans IN
Iowa, who do not admire him, would
have just kept still. But having
jun ped into the fight he can not COM
plain if brickbats come his way.
Roosevelt, impelled by one of his
strs nge Impulses elevated Shaw to Il
cabinet position at a time when Shaw
had been repudiated by the republl-
cans of the state of Iowa. A campaign
had just been waged which involved
scensure of the Shaw administration as
regards favoritism toward political
railroads in the matter of assessments

THE LADIES' AID.

| Few places are so desolate, scarcely
any settlement so far afield or strug-
| gling that it locks its church, or at
least it's church organization. what
ever may be true Of the constitution
the church follows the flag and over
laps the frontier. Best Of all. where
ever the church is planted the Ladies
Aid springs perennial.
The Ladies Aid is precisely what its
name indicates, a quiet. helpful force
of which the strongest element is its
womanliness. it's Dorcas desire to do
something kindly and helpful. 1t is
not a sermonizer, except as human
sympathy and tenderness are the least
expression of the truths that sermons
are intended to inculcate. Without
oratory or anthems, robes, rites or
ceremonial, the Ladies Aid goes on in
its quiet exempliffcation of the universal
brotherhood Of man, acknowledges the
debt every individual life owes another
for the gift of life itself.
Is church debt to be lifted? The
Ladies Aid rushes in where financiers
fear to tread. Is pipe organ needed
to match the one installed by another,
not rival. but kindred society, new car
pets to be bought, the building given a
new coat of paint? The Ladies Aid
somehow accomplishes 1t. Are the
fences falling down about the country
cemetery and the grass growing high
over neglected graves? Behold the
Ladies' Aid, and behold later the trim
fences, the evidences of care that give
we'll kept cemeteries their look of rest
full places that robs the grave of half
it's terror. Doubtless the church
would exist without the Ladies Aid, but
in these latter days it would want
much of its present usefulness lacking
Its essentially feminine adjunct
Doubtless it Is Its femininity that
gives the Ladies Aid the brave optim
ism and sympathetic tenderness which
characterize it's action. Like a good
wife, the Ladies Aid shines brightest in
adversely and trial. 1t recognizes the
1t holds out helping hand
to the overworked mother, remembers
the sick with a flower and CHEEKY
and hopeful greeting. Womanlike it
refuses to generalize but goes close
it's sympathy into the home
and to the bedside. That woman
was first at the cross is the most ma
tural thing in the world. Her faith |
and her feelings Joined to bring her
there.
Hats off to the Ladies Aid, whether
It wears silks or ginghams, deacon
ess' dress or the white stale and cross |
Of the sisters" Under each and all |
beats the heart of woman, faithful to
ner conception of Christian duty, SYM
pathetic, tender, helpful. No church /
IAN be true. no creed kind nor any re-
igion complete locking what is repre-
sented by the Ladies Aid.

AS the Valley Junction News sees it
The Des Moines Capital has proved
to its own satisfaction that Governor
Cummins was a democrat in 1888. a
ree-silverite in 1893, tariff ripper all
the time and that it knew all the time
1t worked so hard and was so anxious

Beehler- Merriam fee grabbing case
Wherein thousands Of dollars were
exacted from insurance companies are
impossible; and no longer do state
officials engage in organizing get-rich-
quick companies under Iowa insurance
laws. Why make house cleaning a me-
cessity again."
The effort to prove that Governor
Cummins was a democrat prior to the
year 1906, Wien he was republican
national committeeman and did splen-
did service for the sound money plat
form, fails because of it's utter absurd
ity,' says the Sac Sun, and then re-
marks: What does it matter any
way? There is every reason to believe
that Governor Cummins was right on
the dominant issue a decade ago be-
fore most of the republicans of Iowa
got their bearings. The question is
he is right on the issues of
today If he is right he should be
sustained, and the men who are OPP
posing him, being wrong, should be
rebuked."

ing candidates for governor have pass
ed upon the issues and a fair express
sion of how the two men stand at home
has been made. In Woodbury. county a
snap caucus following a mass meeting,
was called and no opportunity given for
the voters at large to express them

a staunch Cummins man, editor of a
newspaper which had always stood for
Cummins principles in progressive
politics and he was endorsed unani-
mously. Since the results in other
counties 5of his district have been
known politicians now believe that in
