] LO0KER.ON IN IOWA !

Rockwell, Feb. 23.-Just now, on the
eve Of a state political contest the
question frequently comes up, what
rights has postmaster in a political
campaign? Some think that in state,
county and town political affairs a
postmaster can take part with the
freedom of any other citizen, claiming
that "pernicious activity" has strict
reference to a presidential campaign.
The Hartford Courant says that some
time ago Correspondent w. E. Curtis
forwarded to the Chicago Record
Herald" his notes of an interesting talk
with Mr.. Cortelyou, and they were
published. In that talk Mr.. Cortelyou
had said that the only question asked
about a postmaster whose term was
running out would be whether he had
shown himself a good postmaster-had
done his work to the satisfaction OF
his townsmen and Of the department.
On the answer to that question - and

postmaster at Keokuk. The Gate City

some time.

General Henry e. Tremain, the new
ly elected president of the republican
club of New York city, has splendid
war record. He enlisted as volun-
teer and rose to be q brevet brigadier
general in 1865. He was one of the
founders of the Grand Army of the
Republic in New York state, and al
ways has been active In politics.
1t is said that the father of NJ. Fall
Heres, the new president of France,
was a man Of such immense strength
that he used to pick up a cask of wine,
drink heartily from the bunghole and
then ask, "To whom shall I pass the
cup?'' The president is bibliophi!e
and often strolls among the book shops
bargaining with the dealers for some
volume of worth.

expermimentally that reduction of the
usual period Of sleep by three hours
diminishes the power of the memory
by one-half. Perhaps then, the late
hours kept by congressman are re-
sponsible for their forgetfulness OF
reelection pledges and popular de-
mands.

OPEN UP THE POWER HOUSE.

Governor Cummins' reply to the
Gilliland resolution will be awaited
with interest. That it will be suffi-
GENTLY explicit to emphasize the pro-
priety of a legislative investigation
into the operation of the Blythe gang
at Des Moines, is something to be hop
ed and expected. Citizens of the state
who have observed the effective work.
ious to locate the motor and see the
inside works.
The Gilliland resolution is subter-
fuge 1t is a sQuirm. In attempting to
twist the governors words into
charge of bribery against legislators
it is insincere and calculated. 1t at
tempts to create limitations of any
possible investigation to allegations of
bribery that the governor never made.
The only value to the state of the
Gilliland resolution is that in trying to
pettifog around the governors asser-
tons it has touched off train that
is likely to lead to the powder maya
zine.
There are men in the legislature who
can take the machine apart and put it
together again. There are others COM
petent to dismantle it, but who have
no desire to set it UP again. And there
is a majority that know that it works,
feels it's effectiveness, but have never
been inside the power house.
II the prophesied investigation
comes, let it be on the square. There
are unfit to serve OH an investigating
committee from their connection with
the Blythe machine; others whose
speciality is whitewash; still others
whose limited acquaintance with the
inside political life of the capital unfit
them for service or a committee to
investigate the railroad lobby. There
are enough of those whose knowledge
and acquaintance render them capable
and whose sense of duty make them
fearless, and from these the committee
should be selected. Let the public, the
governor and the railroads have
square deal, without fear or favor. Dig
to the bottom Hew to the line! If
the governor has made careless charges
let him take the consequences. If not.
let him be justified and applauded,
and the corporation agents pilloried. 1t
is a fair gage of battle. Let the fight
be fair and to a finish.
No railroad lobby in Des Moines?
What man in Iowa with even the re-
hottest knowledge of the facts in the
case believes Shaw when he denies
the influence of railroads on legislation.
The lobby has never been wanting
when its services were needed. Larra
bee knew it when he said in an in
augural address: Ely granting spec
ial rates, rebates, drawbacks and other
favors here and there to men of influ-
ence in their respective localities, they
have secured the favor of many who,
after having divided with them their
spoils, are ready to defend their
wrongs and advocate a policy of neu-
trality on the part of the state. BY

The Mt. Vernon Record believes
Gov Cummins has analysed the case
correctly. The people of Iowa recog-
nize the fact that there is big fight
on against certain vested interests to-
day, and that Gov. Cummins is one OF
the men who has had most to do with
the peoples side being pushed forward.
And they realize that they cannot help
their interests In this more than by
re-electing him governor"
