SENATOR DoLLlVER AND HAIR.
MONY.
Says Senator ]. P. Dolliver


"You may say for me that I am
highly gratified at the harmonious out
come of the convention. I am pleased
with the ticket, and I believe that it
will be Endorsed at the polls, as will
the republican ticket In every district
in the state. I am now enjoying my
vacation on my little farm near Fort
Dodge. but I intend to take part In
the campaign in every county In the
state, If it is possible. 1t is fortunate
for the party that the final decision
was reached in harmony, and that
there has been SO much moderation
shown in what has been done. The
platform is vigorous republican dec
laration that can be defended by every
republican. The ticket from top to
bottom is made UP of good men and is
invincible in republican Iowa"

ROOT is MAKING GOOD,

Kansas City Journal -Evidently no
mistake was made when Secretary
Root was selected as ambassador ex-
traord1nary and trade drummer to the
South American republics. His open
Ing speech at Rio Janeiro was worthy
OF statesman, lofty in sentiment, dig
nified in tone and admirably diplomat
1c in Its expression. What clever hit
that was in his opening sentence: 81
bring from my own country special
greeting to our older sisters in the civil
lization of America"
Older sisters! That simple phrase
implied volume of compliment to the
proud. incense-loving Spaniards. It
was a delicate tribute calculated to
disarm their envy and jealousy of this
big country and to arouse their pride
In their own. Many orators who aspire
to be called statesmen would have
sought to impress the little republics
with the power and grandeur Of the
United States, and it's right to lead in
the movement that has brought them
all together at Rio Not so Mr.. Root.
He tells them without gross f1attery,
and In terms Of historic truth. that
they are the older and, inferentially
entitled to the precedence Of seniority.
Considering that it was about the only
thing he could have alleged truthfully
to entitle them to take the lead. it was
a master stroke of diplomacy. Those
naughty dons must have swelled and
grown couple of inches when they
heard that soft confession.
Mr.. Root verged closely on bald fiat
terry when he said Nowhere is pro-
gress more marked than in Latin
America" Those countries have an.
parently made marked advance In
the last decade In regard to the stabil-
ity Of their governments, but time
alone will tell whether 1t is a perma.
nent forward movement. The recent
disturbances in Central America in
Guatemala, Salvador and Honduras.
rather indicate too easy facility in
backsliding to justify an abiding faith
in their capacity for self-goyernment
and their ability to keep In the
straight and narrow path Of order and
peace.
Anyway, the brand of American tat
fy that Mr. Root is dispensing in hon
eyed sentences to our Spanish neigh
SSA' ~ ~ lily liAiVoI AudllLy. uuduul-
terated and harmless. If it could be put
up in packages and sold in the open
market it would make his fortune; and
maybe 1t will as 1t is. If he can con-
quer the deep-seated prejudices Of the
people of South America and persuade
them to look on us as their friends. DO
litically and industrially, Elihu Root
will deserve to rank as diplomat and
statesman Of the first water. He will
be entitled to run for the presidency of
the United States, or the presidency
of the Commercial Travellers associa-
ton, or both. SO far Mr.. Root is max
ing good with his oratorical bouuuets.
and If he impresses the suspicious Lat
in-Americans with the title his college
mates gave him-Square Root-there
is much reason to hope that he will
succeed in his mission and inaugurate
a new era Of mutual good will and beN.
ef1cial trade relations between this
country and the Southern republics.

ON TO ILLINOIS


Newspaper correspondents who have
made Iowa their Mecca for the last
week have departed and will probably
halt little while in Illinois, and with
them go the eyes Of the political
world. Tomorrow the primaries will
be held in every county in the state. A
vote will be taken on the United
States ..senatorship, and delegates will
be selected to the county, congression-
al and senatorial conventions by all
parties.
There are some congressional nomi-
nations that will excite interest out
side of the state, and the contest for
the United States senatorship will I'M
doubtedly receive attention from coast
to coast. This because Senator Gull
lom has come TO be man well known
in the senate and a valuable man to
the party. In opposition to him is for

what was known as the machine, and

Of Secretary Shaw's wonderful success
in placing the issue Of canal bonds,
the secretary's financial acumen and
clever methods of sale contributed
much to this success. The Times be-
l1eves that the people of the country
will feel that there is cause for con-
graduation all around if Secretary
Shaw can be induced to remain in tho
cabinet.
