November OF last year. Continuing,
| Congressman Hubbard said:
| ! visited you for the purpose Of per-
suading you. &c possible. TINT the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Perkins was sound policy.

character Of Mr.. Perkins. said he was

myself spoke of the senat orship. as

no pledge concerning this.
You replied that you would not ask
Mr.. Perkins, under any circumstances.
to give you pledge. and that & man
who would give such a pledge was un-
worthy OF the office OF governor.
The Sioux City Journal has limited Of
q pledge proposed to Mr.. Perkins, 1t
has insitluated that the opposition to
Mr.. Perkins might be stllled by n
promise to appoint Mr.. Cummins seh-
ator Mr. Perkins must have learned
at once from Mr.. Hubbard tho facts
now made known by that congressman
over his signature. The Journals in-
situations have been the signal for the
anti Cummihs' clnque to break out With
clamorous insistehce on the alleged eff
fort of Cummins to force pledge from
Perkins. Tho Journal knew that Cum
Minis had said last November that the
man who would make such pledge
would be unworthy Of the governorship.
The Sioux City Journal later repeated
Cunfnins' words as the words OF Mr.
Perkins. Why did 1t seek to spread
the impression that its editor was being
persectited because he would not pledge
himself to appoint Cummins senator?
1t Is up to the newspapers and men
who have been circulating the story to
make good or confess. When did Cum-
Minis ask Perkins for this pledge? Has
the Journal any proof that such a
pledge was ever asked or denied? If
so let it give the state the benefit of Its
lntOrnat1On. IL ,ttuDDHTl StVtS tbU
correct one and no such pledge was
ever asked or offered, let the Journal
say so. 1t owes so much to its candi-
date. let alone It's debt to the public.
And while about 1t let the Journal
state whether It's candidate has been
asked to give or has given. any pledges
to Blythe.
The fact Is that there Is not scin-
tilla Of truth In the charges so freely
made by the standpatters in connection
with a senatorship that is not vacant
nor likely soon to be. 1t is not part OF
the progressive issues. The Cummins
wing is content to let the senatorial |
succession settle itself when the time
comes. The senatorship is, however, a
question Of the utmost solicitude to
Blythe and the interests he represents.
PERHAPS that Is one of the reasons why
Mr.. Perkins can count on the unquali-
aed support of every Blythe ridden
county In the state. Has Mr.. Perkins
given Mr.. Blythe any senatorial assur-
,nce?

HUBBARD NAILS A LIE.

Opponents Of Governor Cummins
campaign material 1t is a hard task
to scrape up facts that Will tell
against instead of for the governor.
Invention has to some degree supplied
this lack. One leading lie, told with
the smoothness and plausibility for
which the leaders of the Cummins' OPP
has been the circulation by innuendo
and bold assertion that Cummins had
made a pledge to appoint him senator
in event of vacancy, the price of his
support of George D. Perkins for gov
ernor. This story was told in and out
Of season. Cummins had attempted to
Gins had Indignantly spurned the bait.
Cummins had made this proffer thru
Congressman Hubbard. The virtuous
indignation OF the standpat press burst
into scorching flame. The sensibllities
OF the railroad interests shrunk from the
duplicity exhibited by the governor. In
dignation was rife. The shamefullness
of 1t! A bas Cummins! Vive the
nobility that brushed aside the certain
ty OF the gubernatorial nomination
with string tied to 1t!
It was pity to break in upon this
exaltation OF spirit with the facts, but
Congressman Hubbard did it. He has
written letter to Governor Cummins

made no statement to the effect that

THAT cuMM1Ns FAILURE.

MuSoIl SIly leS-I1eIdlul
/ With the bin of particular lacking
1t can only be conjectured what has
constituted in Mr.. Perkins eyes, the
-four years of failure" on the part oil
the Cummins administration.
Has it been because there has been
no scandal In which Mr.. Cummlns
or any member Of the executive
council has been involved?
Has 1t been because Mr.. Cummins
has set the standard OF official
integrity and personal services SO
high that it will serve as model for
all succeeding state officials?
Has 1t been because Governor Cum
Minis has refused to lend his respectable
name to INSCRIPTIONS insurance
organizations that they may use 1t as
q cloak under which to fleece the
unsuspecting people OF Iowa?
| Has 1T been because Governor Cum
Minis has refused to be the tool of
railway corporations and stood forth
| in his manhood on the side Of the
common people?
Has 1t been because that during the
| years of the Cummins' administration
| the taxes of the Iowa railways have
been raised?
Has II been because Governor Cum.
Minis was one of the first to voice the
demand for legislation to give the
interstate commerce commission power
to substitute fair rate for an unjust
rate and was for months practically
the only public man in Iowa to urge
action on the part of congress to
that end?
tac
Minis has never neglected an oppor-
tunity to scourge and denounce the
greed and avarice Of INSCRIPTIONS in
terests that ever seek to control legis-
lation and public officials?
Has it been because Governor
Cummins believes that the common
wealth of Iowa should make it mis-
demeanor for railway corporations to
furnish public officials with free
transportation or for officials to re-
ceive the same?
Has it been because Governor Cum
minis demands that the people Of the
state be given a right to nominate their
own candidates for office by direct
vote?
Has 1t been because Governor Cum
Minis for two years persistently insist
ed that Iowa veterans who participated
in the fighting at the battle of Shiloh
be given credit for their entire measure
of service in that terrible two days
carnage, and was a large factor in
securing for them such recognition?
Has it been because Governor Cum
minis is regarded as unsafe" by the
corporate interests that make it their
business to control the actions of
public men or destroy their useful
ness?
Do these and other efforts put forth
the past four years in behalf of the
people of the state by her executive
spell "f-a -i-l-u-r-e?" The people
themselves will fortunately determine
this question.

A FARMER ON MAIL ROUTES.


A few months ago General Rush
Hawkins contributed an article to the
North American Review, entitled "Tha
why or Rural Free Delivery" in which
he argued that that service had been
established to strengthen the hands Of
the political party now iii power. Egg
bert Z. Bush, New Jersey farmer
answers General Hawkins article in
very convincing paper which appears
In the March number of the Review
under the title "A Rural View Of Rural
F'rAe Delivery" Mr.. Bush shows the
eed that existed for such d service, and
he claims that. IL those who dwell IN
the cities help to pay for the rural
service while they derive no advantage
from it. similar argument might be
used by those who live in the country
In regard to free delivery In the cities.
He argues that rural free delivery
helps to pay for itself by economies
effected through the discontinuance OF
6idT IOulSS anu IuGSSSu6Cl oCLNlSSS'
and through the gain which results
from taking up the cancellations of
offices from which the government.
previously derived no revenue In
fire, Mr.. Bush insists that rural free
delivery Is only the natural develop
fiient OF the city free delivery which
was born Of progress over forty years
ago. Mr.. Bush says:
I'VE are sometimes told that the
man in the city is entitled to better
service, because he uses the mails SO
much moresthan the man in the coun-
try; but this conclusion is based on
An assumption which 1t might be very
hard to prove. While 1t Is true that
the city offices make a very fine show
ing on receipts and expenditures, 1t Is
doubtful whether the average citizen
of the town, excluding those connected
With houses that do business With
country people, uses the mails as much
as the average countryman; and 1t is
certainly fair to exclude all business
upon which country people. either d.
rectly or indirectly pay the postage.
We have been rather sneerngly told by
one opponent of rural service that a
single seed-house in Philadelphia pays
more postage than whole county in
New Jersey. We have access to only
one side Of the comparison, and can
not prove 1t false or true. But let us
concede its truth. What of it? How
is 1t possible for that house to pay so
much? With whom does 1t do that ex-
tensive business? Chiefly with those
rural people whose postal needs are
said to be few--usually confined to the /
weekly paper etc. Who is it, them
that actually pays these thousands
annually handed over to the govern
ment by that house? Do not its pa
irons foot the bills? Are they not also |
paying, through the increased price of
seeds, the postage Of every catalog?
1t is folly to say that the dealer pays
the postage. AS well say that the Inn
porter pays the duty. He does not.
and he cannot. All expenses must
necessarily come out of the last pur
chaser, the consumer Of the goods.
Any other superstition is at variance
with an irrepealable law Of trade"

cutting the case, the judge sent the
lad to the State Industrial School for
Boys, where he will have an opportun-
| ity, not merely to learn trade, but
to acquire an education and TO become
4 clean, wholesome, healthy and useful
member of society.
In Chicago few days ago, a boy Of
| less than twenty years, who had served
a han dozen terms in prison, begged
the judge not to send him back. But
the law was clear, there was no doubt
OF The boys guilt in fact he never de-
MED his guilt and he received his sem
tencc. The lad had been brought up
in ihe streets, had never had an OPP
porlunity to get an education of any
sort, and simply drifted into evil ways,
as do hundreds of neglected boys and
girls too, for that matter His first
| terra was at All alleged reformatory.
He went there at the age Of eleven,
and he left the institution. criminal
Instead OF improving the lad, that en-
virontnent, tho older, hardened Grim
mails, had robbed him Of wi1nt good
remained. And the greater portion of
his young life after his first commit
ment was spent behind prison bars.
The judge could not grant hts prayer.
But the poor boy did not go to the
prison again. He committed suicide In
jail.
There is no particular moral to be
drawn from these two little stories,
which seem TO contradict each other.
And yet. they seem to tench us sofne-
thing And that is, how much Of work
lies near at hand for the reformer.
Pity for these unfortunate boys who
never knew the pure and innocent joys
Of childhood in n happy home. who
were denied the refining influences Of
refined home life. who had no chances
such as the majority Of the children
have offered them. Will really benefit
neither Of them.
1t is work. work. work for better
conditions everywhere. There are here
and there, people so peculiarly consti-
tuted that they object to the interfer
ence by government IN the affairs of
the citizen. And yet the first duty Of
government Is self preservation. And
that surely must include the right to
look after the coming generations Of
citizens. The state must have the right
to see to It. that children are given
every possible opportunity to become
good and useful members Of society.
For without that opportunity sooner
or later they will become n menace and
burden to the state. As much private
Organization and as much individual
work. as possible. and that backed up
by the authority aud the power of the
