explain If the democrats Of Iowa have
the virility they ought to have.
The time has come when trucking
to treachery and dupllctty will have
to be discontinued; when those who
try to defeat the aims and purposes of
the regular democrats must answer
for their conduct; when the intin-
itesmal creatures who vote to PUT
Bryan in hole" will learn that the
democratic party in Iowa demands an
accounting. The Democratic Chronicle.

A Colossal BIunder.

When all the political blunders Of
all the political parties in Iowa be-
come matters OF history, the attempt
OF the democratic state committee iu
the year 1906 to have Mr.. Marsh selec.
ted as the Iowa member of the demo-
cratic national committee will stand
up prominently as the most colossal
blunder of them all.
Never had the democratic party a
better opportunity to succeed.
Never was a grand opportunity
more wantonly thrown away.
The republican party was torn into
halves by differences more pronounced
than those which divided the demo.
cratic party from either faction of
the republican party.
A large majority of the democrats
OF the state sympathized with Gov
ernor Cummins in his campaign for
denomination. They regarded him as
on their side OF nearly all questions
pertaining to the cont troll of organized
wealth, and had reason to believe that
on those questions he was a better
democrat than some men who called
themselves democrats. THAT WAS
THE ONE WEAK PLACE IN THE DEMO-
CRATIC LINES. 1t was so regarded by
Cha1rmen Hamilton and Sells of the
Waterloo convention, and in their
speeches as presiding officers they did
much toward closing up the ranks of
the party.
Had the democratic state commit
tee used ordinary horse sense and fol-
lowed where Hamilton and Sells lead
no power on earth could have pre-
vented The election of Mr.. Porter.
All that was'necessary for the demo-
Gratis to do was to go to the polls and
vote for their candidates, and the
standpatters would have done the rest
Itwas the opportunity of lifetime
in the history of the party.
There was but one danger spot in
the whole field, and the experiences
OF the Parker campaign should have
been sufficient to keep even blind mer
away from it.
The Parker campaign demonstrated
that men who oppose the rigid contro

Iowa, or in any other state for tina
matter.
When the members of the demo
cratic state committee tried to have
the democrats of Iowa represented in
the national councils of their party
by man who was opposed to the
masses In their struggle for the con-
troll Of organized wealth, they com.
mttted blunder akin to a crime.
They opened the ranks of our party
at their only weak spot.

Commission After Elevators.
The state board of railroad commits
sioners has filed sensational supple
ment to It's annual report which went
to the governor last week recommend
ing legislation in protection Of grain
producers against the combination of
elevators.
In the report filed last week refer
ence was made to the inadequate &C
commodations given elevators on rail-
road rights of way. In the supple-
mental report, which comes from the
pen Of Commissioner e. A. Dawson,
the theory is advanced that 1t is the
duty Of railroads which lease sites to
elevators to prevent combinations Of
the lessees In respect to prices.
It is the theory Of the commission
that elevators are merely branches ct
railroad common carriers and that
the railroads are under the same OBJ
legation to the public in the operation
Of the railroads proper. And the
commission does not believe that this
railroad company can escape Its legal
obligation by leasing the property.
Protection Of the public can be
achieved by proper stipulation and
provisions in the elevator leases, in
the Judgment Of the railroad commits.
sion.
The commission makes the sensa-
tional charge that few railroads
evince a disposition to protect the
combined elevator interests.

young Americans thoroughly en-
joyed themselves at the excellent
performance which in many re-

newsboy and would not think of
having a mob of them together at
the theater, but upon seeing how
well behaved the boys were at The
Press Office when waiting for the
big press to urn out papers, I de-
cided to take a chance and, to say
the least, those boys behaved like
little gentlemen"
Other good things are in store

riers and the next occasion when
the boys will be taken to an enter

CHAPTER vi.

There was no time for Claud Haf'
ford to consider. At first he played
as though in a trance, each minute
getting duller. 1t looked to the
interested spectators as though
Redfern was sure to win.
The manager spoke to Hafford
and this seemed to give the .dazed
player new start and from that
time on he played with more inter
est than before. He played as
though his life was at stake and
winning would be his liberty.
The excited people shouted,
"Hurrah for Hafford! hurrah for
Brownville"!
Even those in favor of Redfern
could not help cheering when they
saw with what enthusiasm Hafford
was playing. He never once glanced
toward the crowd of onlookers for
fear of meeting the gaze of the
woman he loved. A hot flush
spread over him as he thought OF
the note he had received.
Did she love him? If so. why
ask him to give up his honor when
