AMONG THE CHURCHES.

Rev. James F. Price preached Sun
day morning at the C, P. Church on
the theme, "The Faithful Servant and
his Reward. " Text: Mt. %: %.
He first spoke Of the characteristics
of a true servant.
/. He must abandon the service of
sin and of Satan. He must give up
the ambitions and folles and pleasures
Of the world.
2. There must be submission to
Christ's authority and obedience to his
commands and teachings.
In the second place he spoke Of the
essentials Of good servitude: diligence
constancy, cheerfulness and persever-
ance.
Lastly he spoke Of the Reward of
the Faithful Servant. II consists of
dignity, riches and felicity. There are
four ways by which 1--WE can increase our
reward:
a. BY purity Of life.
b. BY usefulness.
c. BY faithfulness.
d. BY suffering,

GIVE THE DEAL AWAY.

The Shenandoah Sentinel-Post is Of
importance in this campaign for the
guileless manner in which it gives
away the campaign plans of General
Hunter. The Post says:
1T is idle for the Cumnlins men to
hug the delusion that if they force
nomination over the protests of nearly
half the delegates in the state con-
vention that the voters in the party
will fall in line and vote for him"
The Post then explains that Cum
Minis won his delegates by the aid of
democrats, therefore 20" reserva ton
republicans will bolt. To a Cumrnins
man this is an admission on the part
of the Post that the opposition to
Cummins is no more than NEARLY
half the delegates and that Mr.. Hum
ter's main purpose in making so much
noise about democrats voting for Cum
minis is for the purpose of forcing the
bolt of an admitted minority thus urg-
ed by this southern Iowa newspaper
The facts are that none but corrupt
democrats took part in the primaries
and Hunter had the corruption fund.
The less he says about democrats
would be the better. But when hon
est democrats go to the polls to vote
the proposed 20" reservation bolt may
not look SO bad after all.

CROSSED WIRES

\ tW dSH1HStOn, II. u, I1meS.
The danger of getting wires crossed
| in the game of politics has received a
| new illustration in the last few days
| out in Iowa. Governor Cummins APP
pears to have his enemies in predica-
lnent that would be tragic IL it were
| not ridiculous.
! For six months they have been rip
ping up the Hawkeye landscape in the
effort to defeat Governor Cummins for
another nomination. He has been tell
ing folks that il they didn't nominate
him they might as we'll turn the state
squarely back to the railroads to rule
as they ruled it for many years before
his advent. Every railroad in the state
has been fighting him. The burden of
the argument has been that Cummins
is no true reformer; that during his
administration the assessed valuation
of farm and city property has been
advanced much more than that of rail-
roads. The anti-Cummins press has
assured the people that Cummins was
administering a fine dose of double
cross to the plain people.
So the other day the state execu-
tive council met in annual session 10
assess the railroads. Governor Cum
Minis presided, and his adherents con-
troll the body. The same railroad law
yers who, in their anxiety to defeat
him, have been manufacturing statis-
ties for the consumption of the ma
rines, showing that Cummins is the
secret friend of the railroads, We're
there, but in another capacity They
wanted the assessment kept down, not
raised.
The governor promptly confronted
these gentlemen with some tons of
campaign literature paid for by their
contributions and inspired by their
campaign committee, telling the people
that he had been failing utterly to as
sess the railroads adequately. He noted
that this literature discussed the ques-
ton with intelligence and grasp. In
fact, he was disposed to admit that
good case had been made against him.
He guessed it was true that he hadn't
assessed the railroads high enough, and
he proposed now to produce works
leaning toward horizontal increase so
stiff that 1t made every railroad mans
hair rise in a pompadour.
Ihen the railroad men proceeded to
explain that it was all just political
buncombe. They assumed the COVER
nor was too big and just man to per-
NIT any of the little demagogueries of
politics to carry him off his feet and
into IA policy of injustice to the great
transportation interests! Whereat a
statewide laugh of derision arose that
is still echoing.
The council is still in session and the
governor seems strangely obdurate In
dications are that when it is all over
the railroads, which have already lost
some hundreds of thousands in efforts
to defeat him, will be further mulctei
of a big increase in their taxes. It
really is getting so that a poor railroad
doesn't have any chance at all in this

r.
Mr. Perkins says that he, too, is
a progressive republican But assum-
ing that he is why does he give coun-
tenance to the schemes of men who
are not progressive republicans against
republicans who are progressive? Why
IS he found allied with republicans
who are opposed to every essential part
OF the progressive program, to every
reform which the progressives would
establish? Why does he assume a
right of leadership in the progressive
movement which is denied by progress
sives and which they have repudiated
in the county conventions held thru
out the state by a decisive maiority?
If Mr.. Perkins is progressive he
would better leave his present com
pany and join hands with those who
do not belle their professions. Far bet
ter to do that and forego his ambitions
than remain where he is to be used as
a tool.

THE TRUE sIsTERHOoD.

Up at Kalamazoo, Michigan, uni
versal sisterhood and feminine common
sense flourishes like the bleaching
celery plants that have made Kalama-
zoo famous. Kalamazoo has a wom-
ans civic Improvement league that
does not stop with repairs on the GEM
etery fence or suggestions as to the
city beautiful. 1t is not only gener-
ally but individually helpful. 1t goes
after the weeds that choke the path of
i life with the same alacrity that it
fuses over the library, and plants flow
.ers in the park. When a woman
afflicted with a worthless, dissolute or
devilish husband, gets ready to sever
the tie that binds the woman's civic
improvement league quits digging dam
delions and digs up the cost Of the
divorce. No worthy woman who is
without funds to go after divorce
need despair while the woman's civic
Improvement league has money in its
treasury. The league is already pay
ing for the divorce litigation of three
women who are too poor to bear the
expense.
Where the wife still sees hope ahead
the league steps in and touches up the
erring benedict with the hand of the
law. It prosecutes and makes him de-
cidedly uncomfortable while it supplies
the needs of his family. When this
system falls they help the woman to
get rid OF him -pepnanently and assist

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Charles City Intelligencer (pro
Perkins) does not believe that there
is justice in declaring that such coun-
| ties as Delaware, Allamakee. Polk, or
OBrien are in any manner uncertain
in their attitude for Mr. Cummins or
that the people in these counties We're
not given fair chance to express
themselves" and says. '"Ehe solution
of the problem in these four counties
if left to us would be very simple, viz:
give them to Governor Cummins. We
say let The spirit of fair square deal
rest over the coming convention and
let the will of the people have full
sway"
The Eoone News states that "There
is some apprehension felt lest Ed Hun
ter go even further back and contest
Cummins' election in 1901" The News
admits that according to the stand
pat press there are good grounds for
such contest"
The Dubuque Times thinks "the new
postmaster at Clear Lake who was
asked to put up a $4,000 bond and sent
on one for $4,000, did it probably by
way of emphasizing northeastern
Iowa's luxuriance of prosperity
at Is no worse to steal the state
convention than to steal county con-
ventions. and as the standpatters have,
undertaken to steal Scott. Carroll. Del

Perkins has defended their action,

tempt to steal the state convention and
that Mr.. Perkins will do his full share
in attempting to make the theft appear
honorable" declares the Webster City
Freeman-.rribune.
The Algona Republican thinks there
is going to be a good deal of lying
awake nights among the people who
have precipitated this movement for
the Reinstatement of Bryan two years
in advance of any call for standard
bearer
"Those who insist that Iowa repub-
licans have not yet decided who they
want for governor merely disclose the
fact that they are dissatisfied with the
decision," asserts the Mason City
Times Herald.
The Cherokee Democrat believes
there is mo use for the Perkins and
Cummins papers to call each other
liars. The question is, which is the
biggest liar?'
The Carroll Herald says Senator
Dolliver is not inclined to regard as
serious the geenrous notices he has re-
ceived making him a candidate for
president. There are many POSSIBLE
ties between now and the presidential
and the Iowa senator can
well afford to take matters calmly for
the present.
At the present time the Manson
Journal is of the opinion that "the
Iowa convention will split and that two
tickets will be the result" 1t hopes
the prediction will not come true.
