on this event of absorbing interest in
the politics of our dear state and coun-
try to congratulate the noble governor
of our commonwealth. Governor Cum
Minis has long been known as a re-
former. He had not to do with the
writing of the Iowa platform in 1901;
at the moment he was otherwise en-
gagged But he had to do with saving
the platform in 1902. Underneath its
solid planks he placed the force of his
mind and the strength of his hands.
Let those who will dispute that he
saved the day. That is not the point
Just now to be considered. This much
is to be admitted. that the governor in
the magnificence of his personal Prov
ess put on the whole armor OF tariff
reform and led his valiant hosts forth
to mighty battle. The campaign at
Des Moines on the 30th of July was
easy. Colonel LATE Young. experience
ed as a soldier of the Spanish war;
was as wisp of drought stricken
grass in the swirl of honest enthus-
iasm Bushwhackers took refuge here
and there; and that the Eighth dis
trict was secure ground for them. not
many of any shade of opinion doubt
ed, as proof undoubtedly may be had
from the best men of Burlington and
such as Major Rathbun of Marion 1t
need only be added that the republic
an party of Iowa won a famous victory
in the field at large 1t is not out of
place to congratulate Governor Cum
Minis on the lifting of the cloud from
the Eighth district. Surely, here are
victories of peace as We'll as OF war.
Standpatters who are finding COM
fort in the remark of Candidate Per-
kins as to what the party has suf-
fered under Cummins," should remem- |
Der the congratulations of Editor
Perkins as to the 'magnificence'
of the governors personal PROV
ess," "the force of his mind and
streigth of his hands" under
meath the solid planks' of the
platform of 1902. 1T was not out OF
place" then to congratulate Governor
Cummins on the lifting of the cloud
from the Eighth district" When LATE
Young exults over the charge of '.am-
billions personal and selfish he
should be reminded of the comparison
made by Editor Perkins in 1902 when
he likened Colonel Layfayette Young
to "a wisp of drought stricken grass
in the swirl of honest enthusiasm"

She Merely Wanted Bill.
0Dundee AdVertiSer.)


A dear old lady who had never left
her native village before decided last
summer to pay flying visit to Ports
mouth to see her son, a sailor. The
excursion train landed, her at the
harbor station. Wandering down to
the pontoon in a dazed fashion, she
was hustled into boat by an enter
tanning boatman, and before she had
recovered herself found herself by the
side of the Victory.
Looking up in awe at the imposing
old hulk, she spied sailors face
beaming at her from a portfolio. I'M
Immediately light dawned on her
puzzled brain; and she yelled out: rs

reply.
"Then tell our Bill wants 'im," she
commanded.

the tar.
yes, my Bill-he's in the navy was
the lucid reply.

So tho Old Folks Say.

The old folks say: The times are chang
ing;
The bygone years were surely best;
Ger land and sea. forever ranging,
Men wander new in vague unrest.
Ard faded are the green romances;
The morning lisht has died away:
The world has lost its golden chances
So the old folks say.
The old folks say: The days are duller,
The sweetest songs are left unsung,
The spring was full of scent and color
Long. long ago, when we were young
Above our heads the sky was clearer,
And warmer was the sunlight ray,
Yet heaven is now a little nearer,
So the old folks say.
The old folks say: It's Maytime weather;

But leave us hand in hand together
Beside the swiftly fading fire,
Tor earthly chains are near their break

And eyes are dim and locks are gray
Bit loves a dream that knows no wax.

THE FUNNY SIDE AND ITS DIVERSE.

Very serious things and occurrences
sometimes have an extremely ludl-
crous and mirth- provoking side and
few currents of laughter do not flow
trate: Out in the west end of Mar
shalltown an ordinarily decent neigh
borhood. is cursed and worried by an
habitual drunkard. A few nights ago
when, the householders were yawning
over the evening. papers preparatory
to going to bed, they were reused by
a rap ON the door. A neighbor stood
there in trousers and night shirt, and
hurry, the messenger of the fiery
cross calling gathering of the clans.
"Come on" he cried "old John is
down in a ditch and sinking out of
sight, Investigation and the fitful
light Of lanterns and porch lights dis
closed "old John" He had attempted
to cut across the street where a line
of water main had been recently laid
and which the heavy rain that was
still falling had undermined and con-
verified into a quagmire. "Old john
was there up to his armpits land
sinkin' lower" Three men worked and
tugged and from the simple ridicu-
lousness of the case, laughed, as they
dragged him from his casing.S He got
up. tried to walk, and fell in in another
place. Then one of the helpers fell
in and the affair grew funnier to the
helpers themselves and the women
peeping from amound the corners OF
window shades. In time "old john
was rescued, the good samaritans went
home to scrape off the mud and the
drunkard went home (?) also.
1t was after he got home that the
other side of this funny affair became
prominent. The neighborhood rang
with curses, and his wife, who appears
to be entirely without humorous con-
ceptions in this particular case, found
it necessary to appeal for help. The
patrol wagon came out and got "Old
John" The fun went out of the Sit
uation in hurry.
Inspection will show that the case
isn't so very funny after all. In the
drunkard's household the woman
whose misfortune it has been to live
with and bear children to this drunk
ard goes every day to the hardest kind
of labor in order that she and her lit
tie son may live and that the boy may
go to school. She ought to be in a hos
pital. If she was the wife Of de-
condition would, II known, neutralize
all the laughter her drunken husband
ever aroused. Day after day he comes
home drunk and abusive. Sober, he is
an Industrious worker. Drunk, he is
a burden and menace and a horror.
And he is drunk whenever he is idle
and has the money.
1t is pertinent to ask Where does
he get the whiskey?' Every saloonist, |
barkeeper and druggist in the city
knows him as an habitual drunkard. |
Every policeman knows him. The !
very children know him and his weak /
ness Who sell "Old John" whiskey? |
Whose business 1t Is to find out where
this Woodworking man spends his |
wages for drink while his poor old
sick wife works in agony to keep the |
family intact and give her boy a
chance? Whose duty is it to unearth |
he scoundrel who would make a profit
On the misery OF an ignorant old wom-
IN and on the chance of the drunkard's
leath and the ever present possibility

WHEN EDITORS BECOME CANDIDATES.

When editors fall before the temp
tation OF ambition and listen to the
whimperings of spleen in their disap-
pointment, the public must turn to a
photograph Of their past for the truth.
Editors when they are nothing but ed
itors usually tell the truth. Editors
when they are, candidates--God help
them. Reference is thus made, to
George D. Perkins, of the Sioux City
Journal, who is now dividing his time
between the pleasures of skinning
and the boiling of Cummins the can
didate
In 1902 Congressman Hepburn an
nounced in an interview that he would
support Congressman Babcock for
speaker of the house, because Babcock
was a revisionist. This was before
the edict had gone forth from Burling-
ton to destroy Cummins with the tar
j if slogan. 1T has always been the
deavor to so adjust tariff schedules to
meet existing conditions and I look
for some tinkering with the tariff at
the coming short session., said Colonel
Hepburn in 1902 He claimed to have
discovered "a strong undereurrent of
feeling in my section of the country
which will press for action on the tar
iff."
This was nuts for Editor Perkins
man in those days. Judge Kennedy
did not lie when he told the Woodbury.
county convention that Perkins had
always stood for what Cummins stood
for. Editor Perkins had. The change
came with Candidate Perkins With
all the strength of his sarcasm Editor
Perkins rushed out to greet Colonel
Hepburn as follows: The Journal,
which for two years has defended the
Iowa idea by some called the shelter
plank, rises proudly in its place to
welcome to the Eighth district and
the leadership of the great debater of
the house of representatives"
Then pausing to give Governor Cum
minis credit for reforming the Eighth
district member, he wrote:
