The letter written by Governor Cum
minis OF Iowa, in reply to the arbitra-
tion proposal made by George ID. Per-
kins in regard to the seating of dele
gates to the state convention, Is a
masterpiece. Although the campaign
in Iowa has been intensely bitter, and
the strife has tended at times to points
of unfairness. this letter from Gov
ernor Cummins contains no word of
bitterness or vitrol, Is n clear-cut
cleanly stated communication, a plea
for harmony and fair play which must
attract the admiration of all men. re-
gardless of their personal feeling in
the Iowa gubernatorial matter II
looks very much just now as If Gov
ernor Cummins would win the nomi
nation And his letter has undoubted
ly gone far toward doing 1t.

true as one witness will testify, that
white made remarks derogatory to
the character Of Mrs Thnw In a cafe
whore Mr.. and Mrs Thaw were dining
on the night OF the tragedy, this Will
only tend to help the case of the mur.
derer. For II there Is one thing In
this world more than quarrel over
money that will make men stand up
and shoot to kill. It is an insult offered
by one fellow for the other fellows
wife.
Deliberate murder Is punishable in
the state of New York by an electric
chair death, but 1t is probably equally
true that no jury will send Harry Thaw
to death
The state of course, must punish a
murder. Thaw's crime Is more serious
than thnt of White, and he deserves
furnishing.
But the world rather sympathi2es
with the man who fights in defense of
womanhood. regardless of whether the
womanhood fought for deserves the
battle, and a light sentence for Harry
Thaw will probably be the severest
penalty that twelve men will agree
upon as a result of the murder in Mad.
ison Square Garden.
The case is very similar to that in
one of Tolstoi's stories. Tolstoi's
murderer, who shoots over the same
cause as did Thaw, Is not convicted
by the courts, though he loses the re-
spect of his fellow.beings.

HARRY THAW'S CRIME,

The Florodora girls who formed the
first famous and beautiful seXtette,
which created such sensation when
that musical comedy came out, seem
doomed to get into serious and tragic
trouble. No sooner has Nan Patter-
son, the showgirl, been set free in New
York, after sensational series OF
trials in which she was charged with
the killing Of Caesar Young, the book
maker. than another sensational kill
ing occurs In Manhattan town over
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, artists model
Florodora girl and wife of Harry X
Thaw, who is now in the Tombs.
Thaw claims as reason for killing
Stanford White, the eminent New York
City architect, the fact that White had
ruined the life of Thaw's wife. Al
first it was said that Thaw's defense
would be insanity, but his attitude
when the committee called to examine
him was one which led the alienisti
TO declare him sane.
The prominence of the parties con
cerned makes this one of the mos
dramatic murders that has been corr
mitted in this country for a long time
and the public will watch the case:
progress with that interest which al
ways is attracted to the tragic and un
certain things of life.
| VIII Thaw be convicted by a jur!
of twelve men when the time come,
for his trial? That is the question up
permost Just now among those whit
are watching the AFFAIR. There cal
be no denial, of course, as to the kill
| ing, or as to the deliberate way il
which it was done, but the relations
of White to Mrs. Thaw will no doub
have much weight with the jury ant
will go a long way toward determining
whether Thaw shall die in the chat
or not.
Thaw's murder is already a matte
of fact. There will be no need of evi
dence on this point. But the degree
to which White, by his acts, brough
the wrath of Thaw upon himself, ma.
regulate the degree in which Thaw i
held culpable.
Murder, of course, is a deplorabl
thing and a crime that can not b.
count ananced by the state, So, in
deed, is tampering with the affection
of another mans wife, And if it /

The vitcory of Edward Rosewater
in winning the Douglas county delega-
tion's support for him as United States
senator, goes long way toward max.
ing Mr.. Rosewater the man to go to
Washington 1t has been all along con-
ceded that If Mr.. Rosewater could have
Douglas county, he would stand a
mighty good chance Of winning the
nomination in case the convention
nominates-and the election. The vic
tory in his home county is all the
more endorsement for Mr.. Rosewater,
in view of the fact that he was most
bitterly opposed by an organized
crowd of enemies who exerted strenu-
Gus efforts to beat him. The result
of the primaries must be discourag-
ing factor to other senatorial candi.
dates in the state, for with his own
large delegation to back him, together
with the support of large portion OF
the state, Mr.. Rosewater is the big,
gest man on the senatorial horizon
just now. And it is an easily apparent
fact that his strength is going out in
the state among people who, without
personal feeling one way or another
believe him to be as large a man as
Nebraska could find for the senate.

Minneapolis Is having n good deal
the same experience as the Third dis.
trict of Nebraska. The Minneapolis
journal says: 1--WE have been told
here in this congressional district that
congressman's principal business
was to get things for his district; that
his prominence and influence In shap-
ing national legislation was n matter
of comparative insignlilcance. If this
is true-as we have been told-why
doesn't this district get one who can
play the game?" Certainly the same
sentiment should apply in the Third
Nebraska.

INSIDE INFORMATION

In it's zeal so misrepresont Congress
man Mccarthy The Norfolk News
scl2os upon the circumstance Of an
appropriation of $500 procured by
him for federal building purposes at
Columbus The News cites this as n
pitiahle comparison with the sum ap.
proprIatcd for postolllce buildings In
other Nebraska towns In other dis.
tricts. II entirely overlooks the fact
that this Is merely for the purchase
of site. As rule the government
insists on having a site for a building
before It erccts the building, The ar
chitcct of the treasury department,
after long experience, has concluded
that II is more practical to commence
on the ground to build than to com
mence at a given point In the atmos-
phero and build down toward the
ground Public buildings ought to
reach from the roof to the ground. II
The News will inquire into the mat
ter 1t will find this to be true and will
be willing, we feel sure, to vindicate
Congressman Mccarthy from making
Tribune.
All this sounds very pretty and in
dicates that the Tribune has wise
head with superior knowledge Of the
situation not possessed by the ordi-
nary mortal-nor even by the Asso-
ciated Press, which sent out the item.
The Tribune itself published the list
of towns which had received appropri-
ations for public buildings, under a
Washington date line and the follow
ing Introductory statement given by
the Associated Press: "The buildings
authorized together with the amounts
to be expended include Colum-
bus, $500" An attempt to bolster
up Congressman Mccarthy with the
imputation that the Associated Press,
which is absolutely non-partisan and
has experienced reporters In washing
ton to gather facts, misrepresented
the case in its reports, will have to be
taken with considerable allowance
for the personal prejudices of the man
who has grapevine inspiration that the
report was not correct. The fact re-
mains that while Congressman Kin
kaid was securing $65,OOO for build
ing at Kearney, Congressman Hin
shaw $65,000 for York and Congress
man Norris $125,OO0 for Grand Island,
Mr.. Mccarthy by the only effective eff
fort he has put forth on behalf of his
district during the two terms he has
been in congress, was able to get
| $500 for Columbus and nothing for
West Point or Wayne. If this is not a
weak and ineffective effort" what is?
When the appropriation bill reached
the senate the allowance for Kearney
was raised from $G5,OO to $4,000, and
that for York was raised from $4,000
to $4,000, thus attesting the popular
ity of Congressman Kinkaid and Hin
shaw in the upper branch of congress
But Mr.. McCarthy's popularity sue
ceeded In drawing raise Of 600 fol

The stamp of approval that has been
placed on American meats of the fu.
ture Secretary of Agriculture Wilson,
should restore confidence both at
home and abroad in the packers pro
ducts of America. Mr.. Wilson says
that heretofore there has been lack
of money with which to inspect prop
erly the canning of product, but here
after, in accordance with the new law
all of this will be very carefully in
spected and the stamp of the United
States government will be enough as
surance to all that the meats are
healthful and wholesome. The system
of inspection by the government will
extend from pasture to package, and
we may eat once more in peace and
happiness. The live stock industry
of the west will not be injured, fol
this purity guarantee will restore Its
good name abroad, and the work Of
the president in bringing about this
result will long live In the hearts ant
stomachs of the nation.

"Peace on earth and good will to men,
was the spirit of the first Christmas and
it has been repeated annually for 1900
years.
That message first heard by the hum
BILE shepherds has been echoed and re-
echoed down the centuries until now it
has caught the ears of most of the
world and will continue until all have
heard-and needed.
That the world has needed to some
extent is true in spite of pessimistic
10 Unions. 1t is far different world to-
day than it was twenty centuries ago.
That the world is still overdowing with
misery and sin, is only too obvious and it
is only by comparison that we find that
the world really moves. Perhaps one
reason that the pessimist sees retrogres-
sion instead of progress is the very re.
suit of progress.
Our daily vision has been so greatly
increased that where the men of Galilee
saw score of miles, we see hundreds
and thousands and in the extended
vision naturally see more crime and
misery-forgetting at the same time to
look at the increased happiness and
peace and prosperity.
'The man with the hoe' is still living
in the world, but his place is fast being
supplanted by the man behind the ma.
chine. Intelligence is becoming more
and more UNIVERSAL, and the acme of in
telligence is the betterment of mankind
in government, in the home and general
surroundings Even the poorer people
can now get more out of life and out OF
the world than the richest king of two
thousand years ago. II
+Faith, hope and charity these three
are with us in a greater measure than
ever before. There is more true religion
there ismore hope because of increasing
opportunities in the breasts of the lower
classes; there is more charity and char
liable institutions in the world than
ever before and they are all growing in
number as the days pass by.
Every Christmas is but an anniver-
|sary and festival of this spirit; let us
each do our share in helping its trump
had progress, and hinder not the wheels
|of the millennium to come.
