RURAL DELIVERY AND SUICIDES

Members of Congress ard news
papers have frequently pointed
out the importance Of extending
the rural free delivery service,
though there are some of the ma
toms legislators during the pres
ent session who have striyen TO re-
strict the appropriation for it.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral 2. V. De Graw has been max
ing a personal investigation aud is
convinced that the service should
be increased until it embraces
every rural community Of the
country.
Mr.. De Graw is given as author
ity for the statement that physi-
clans recommend the introduction
of rural free delivery in even the
remotest regions, as a sure cure fol
melancholia and other depressing
ailments that assail an isolated life.
While travelling in some Of the
mountainous regions of New Eng.
land Mr.. De Graw was a frequent
guest of a phi ysician who sh owered
blessings upon the system, with
the daily round of the carrier
This physician explained that il
was a god-send as cure for mel
anchol1a and that the Official sta
tistics of the isolated regions
showed that the number of sal
cides had materially decreased
since rural free delivery became
general.
The physician, in further expla
nation, said that thousands of per
sons who before the installation o
rural free delivery were unaccus
toned to the sight ola visitor TO
weeks and months at a stretch, ar
now cheered by the daily call o
the carrier. These persons ar
permitted to be in touch with tn
outside world. They have some
thing new to talk and think about
thereby diYerting their minds iron
| their personal troubles.
| The march Of progress will no
let the rural tree delivery fall b,
the wayside. If Congress in
paroxysm of economy is anxiou
to prune appropriations let it max
the beginning in some other place

FlGUR
Credits Governor cummins With More
Than Enough Uncontested Delegates
to Give Him the Nomination in the
State Convention, If He Is Given His
Rights.
Special to Times-Republican.

Des Moines. June 26.-While the
state is being flooded With the railrot1
newspapers making all sorts of ridicu-
lous claims as to the success of tae
Ed Hunter campaign. the standpatters
were amazed today when they got cop
les of the Council Bluffs Nonpareil,
owned and controlled by Ernest T..
Hart, national committeeman. AMI
chief among western Iowa standpat-
ters, in which the admission is made
that Governor Cummins is now as
good as nominated The Nonpareii
gives the result of the preliminary
caucusing and credits Governor Cum
Minis With having S29 uncontested dele
gates. This is more than a majority
of all the delegates. 1t does not credit
the governor with all the delegates he
has, hut with enough to make sure his
denomination. 1t would not be espec-
ia.!y significant but for the fact tnal
Committeeman Hart undoubtedly
stands very close to the federal crowd
and especially close to Congressman
Smith and the fact that his newspa-
per is ready to give up the fight and
to admit that already Governor Cum
Minis has the votes to win, indicates
that there are some who will have
something to say about the convention
who admit that it is all over. What
ever of fight there is left is therefore
not because Of the governorship but
because of other things.
The city of Des Moines has been
flooded with papers distributed under
direction of Ed Hunter and presulna-
bly, paid for by the railroad managers.
The Blythe Hawkeye and the Perkins
Journal have both been scattered All
over the city. 1t was evident that
I.afe Youngs paper had worn out its
welcome. II has been going free to
everybody in the city for many weeks
and it has no more influence here.
And so in order to affect public opin-
ion in a slight degree the Hunter COM
mfttee has ordered the withdrawal of
the Capital and the furnishing free of
some papers which have not yet OBJ
tanned a reputation for consistent fall
styling: 1t is regarded as certain that
this scheme is but the beginning of a
movement thruout the state to over
whelm the people with misstatenents
so as to pave the way for the contem-
plated steal.

Washington, June 26.-The confer
ence on the agricultural appropriation
bill today developed differences be-
tween the house and senate in regard
to the meat inspection amendment,
which probably will be sent back to
the two houses for further action, or
for instructions to the conferees. The
senate reports refused absolutely to
consider the provisions making the ap-
preparation for the government to pay
the cost OF inspection, and insisted up
on the retention of the provision in
the Beveridge bill, requiring that the
date of inspection be placed upon cans
of meat. Another meeting will be held
this afternoon, when the conferees will
decide finally whether there is pos
sbility of agreement concerning the
amendment

CHANGE OF MINISTRY
Not Likely That Russian Emperor Will
Be Compelled to Call for the Resig
nation of the Present Premier-Rev-
oIutionists Are JubiIant at Progress
of Military Propaganda.

ST. Petersburg, June 26-The govern.
ment, taking advantage of the effect
produced by the frankness and sim
cerity of Interior Minister Stolypin's S
declaration in the lower house of par
lament, has taken prompt steps to pre-
vent further anti-Senitic excesses, but
this effect is waning and the impossi-
bility of the present situation is daily
favor of a change in the ministry is
now not only shared by the lower and
upper houses Of parliament and voiced
by the entire press, but is supported
by a strong faction at court, with
which the Associated Press is informed
by relative of the general, Trepoff,
former head of the police, is allied
Trepoff, who is probably the best in
been opposed by all the instances of
his lifetime to Premier Goremykin' S
policy of drift, but it is reported the
general has found the temper of the
army and peasantry to be such that he
recognizes it would be better to bow to
the storm than to adopt the dam
gerous last resort of repression
under a dictatorship. The present
ministry has failed entirely to build
up parliamentary support. A majority
of the ministers are so stepped in old
traditions they are incapable of realiz-
ing that they are working under new
conditions. The revolutionists are ju-
bilant at the progress made by the
military propaganda. Conservative
Move Vremya today devotes a leading
editorial to the subject The radical
organs print columns of accounts of
military troubles, some of which un-
doubtedly are invented for suggestive
effect, but the majority are based on
fact. Agrarian disorders at Kharkoff,
Poltava and Tamboff have led to con-
flicts with the troops Four peasants
We're killed near Poltava and many
were wounded. A general feeling of
terror prevails among the petty admin
istrative officials inl various parts of
the country, many of whom have re-
signed to save their lives. A deputa-
ton Of idle workmen invaded the ses-
sion of the city council here yesterday,
demanding relief. The session was
suspended, and troops summoned be-
fore the men would depart. The bak-
ers' strike continues. The railroad and
market porters have struck.

THE LAST STRAW
Iowa Delegation Justly Indignant at
the johnson Letter-Make it Public
AS Rebuke to Blythe.

Special TO es-Republican.
Washington. June 26.-The Iowa del
egation is more thoroughly stirred to-
day over the latest effort of the Blythe
Hunter-Perkins machine to intimidate
the congressman and senator's than
over any previous episode of the CAM
paign. The audacity which inspired
the notorious Charley Johnson to write
senators and congressman unless they
get in line and help steal the conven-
tion from Cummins is regarded as abb
solutely unspeakable. 1t of course
comes from Blythe and represents the
last efforts of the syndicated railroads
to get their grip on the convention.
Members of the delegation We're so mad
when the letter came to town that they
allowed it to become published with
out delay. 1t was expected to be re-
garded as highly confidential and there
could be no better evidence of the in
dignation of the members than the
fact that knowing such a course would
give moral offense to Blythe they took
immediate steps to make the letter
published. 1t is not necessary to spec
ulate now as to how many members
of the delegation were originally Cum
minis men. Probably Birdsall and
Haugen We're the only ones. Not ore
of the others wanted Cummins nomin-
ated in the beginning, hut when it was
made plain that the people at home
were determined to have Cummins the
delegation realized that theft
of the nomination would wreck
the party, and, except Lacey
and Hepburn and probably Cous-
ins, they set their faces against
the Blythe -Hunter-Perkins larceny
plan. When the Hunter crowd learned
that the delegation lacked the nerve
and the disposition to go the full
length they set about to intimidate the
Washington crowd. Dolliver is es-
pecially indignant over the perform
ance others are hardly less so. 1t is
believed that the exposure will end the
efforts to steal the convention. 1t will
line up the delegation, except the three
named, solidly for an honest conven-
ton and a square deal.

ton is given on page three of this is
