there are wheels within wheels. In
each county there's a favorite son.
How would it do to put up each favor
lite son for congress, and let said fav-
orite pick out the delegation to the
republican state convention? 1t would
be so full of harmony. We can thus
hold the county together. Beautiful,
charming; but it won't work this in
harmonious year.
Railroad men on the Panama and
Alaska railroad, are telling how poll
tics are working into business relations
along the line. 1t seems they have
standpatters and progressives. even on
that system of railroad. Not SO long
ago one of the superintendent of the
road began school of instruction to
show the employees what mistakes they
were making in belonging to the pro-
gressive party. Standing in their own
light. Result would be if the pro-
gressive wing got into power they
would actually control the railroad
business of the country. Down would
go rates. and lower wages for employ
es would surely follow. They have
counties on that railroad, where the
railroad vote is quite factor, in fact
settles things in some towns. And here
is where this educational system is the
most active Now if such a thing was
going on in Iowa. how indignant Mr.
Perkins would be. The chances are
he would rather lose one or more close
counties than countenance such work.
1t has taken the Cummins crowd a
long time to get the harmony idea out
of their political creed. But it does look
as tho this year they are ION to the
racket" One young voter in Floyd
county said to the writer two weeks
ago. We're thru sending a repre-
sentative man, a good fellow or
doubtful republican to our Iowa state
convention this year. We nave been
sat down upon several times by the
harmony deal, and sending a split del
egation to the state convention. This
year we are going to try and pick out
men we know are Cummins men. Fur
thermore we're going to instruct. All
these things we are going to do. or
we're going to get licked. Our dele
cation to the state convention will
be solid progressive one, or a solid
standpat crowd think We've got the
strength this year, and we are going to
use it, or else the other crowd can
have the whole delegation. No har-
mony deals this year for u.s."

Their Joe Blythe's game? 1t is time Mr..
ing horse For him to retire from the
fight would be confession to every
charge that has been brought against
his candidacy as a corporation move.
The fashion in which this campaign
has been and is being conducted is the
greatest personal compliment that can
be paid to Governor Cummins. He is
the focus of the concentrated effort of
the special interests to defeat him.
No great and powerful interests are
backing him. His sole dependence is
upon the voters. He is without any
statewide organization, and has no
sources of revenue for a campaign
fund. The local and state party organ
tributors are enlisted to fight him. All
the federal office holders, big and little,
are at work to defeat him. Shaw was
called from Washington to denounce
him and all progressives as populists.
Elkins signed his name to a brief for
the railroads and fired it at him. The
standpat leaders of the legislature
made legislation impossible while they
We're playing politics at state expense.
The syndicated railroad press has
poured an unceasing stream of Wifi

upon him. Every keen mind that
money can purchase is planning his

ing him. And yet wherever he goes,
wherever his personality and his pur-
poses are known to the voters, the al
lied forces of money, influence and
Misrepresentation can not prevail
against him. The Cummins sentiment
is sweeping Iowa, gathering force with
every day. Neither Mr.. Perkins nor
John Herriott can Withstand it. Joe
Blythe and the Burlington can not
stay it. AS certainly as the sun rises
on the day of the next state conven-
ton of Iowa republicans, Albert B.

HOW FRANCE AIDED RUSSIA.

Discussing "A Year in Finance" the
Journal of Political Economy comments
upon Frances great financial achieve
ment in sustaining the price of Russian
bonds during the recent war. The
bonds fell to a certain extent, but by no
means to the extent warranted by the
expensive disasters of the war with
Japan, disorder in the finances and the
revolutionary and anarchiel situation
in Russia
The steadiness was due to good man

Bows, April 16.-An interesting story
concerning the joint debate meeting
between Governor Cummins, and Edi-
tor Perkins. at Spirit Lake, is told by
those who claim to know. 1t is Well
understood that the anxiety of of
standpatters for a joint discussion, is,
because Cummins always draws a

Cummins on the 18th of April. of

But in some way it was soon under

the 18th, but not publicly announced
till after the date for Cummins was
selected. OF course one speaker would
need a tent If the other had the opera
house. A brilliant idea struck the
standpatters. Once more We'll pro-
pose a joint discussion. 1t worked that

One of the freshest and most en-
enjoyable magazine papers that have
lately been printed in any of the Amer
lean magazines is that in the April
Atlantic" upon The Lodge, by Charles
Moreau Harger. Mr. Harger, who IS
editor of THE Abilene Reflector and
professor of journalism in the State
University Of Kansas, evidently knows
the social life of the middle west to
the ground, and writes if it most en-
gagingly. He considers the place of
the lodge in the social fabric of the
country, it's humor and pathos, and it's
potent place in the imagination of the
average American. 1t is paper which
will be read both by insiders and out
siders with the keenest interest.

"Why is that Gov. CuDmins' style

between the great democratic leader
and the republican governor of Iowa 1t
is that existing between all brave and

THE SIN OF SILENCE.

In Governor Cummins' rejoinder to
Mr.. Perkins in the great debate at
Spirit Lake. he furnished text and
test for manliness in politics. Re
plying to charges and allegations
against his political career he said
AT least l have never been guilty of
the mistake of silence
Silence in the face of wrongdoing is
out protest or denial while neighbours
name or woman's reputation is de-
stroyed and blackened comes close to
partnership with SANDER. None
watches thief steal or an assassin do
murder without clamor and alarm. We
are prone to see in silence good names
stolen and character assailed. to hear
a lial, without rebuke, and permit the
mischief maker to pass unregarded.
And this silence is sin against manli-
ness, a dereliction of the plain duty one
man owes to all men.
Silence is golden only when it clasps
the jewel of charity. 1t is dross when
1t covers a crime, affords shelter for
cowardice or serves an ignoble and
selfish purpose. The silence that con-
dones knavery, that shelters crime and
palters with vice is sin.
When bad men aspire to office. plain
speaking is virtue too little practiced.
When the gang sets out to sieze city
offices it finds thousand ways to
close the mouths of men. When spec
ial interests scheme to control they
plan and plead for silence. To remain
quiescent under the knowledge that
men with Interior purposes seek office
to the satisfaction of those purposes
is to consent to their success. Who
fails to lift his voice against the de-
baucllery of public trusts to private
purposes ranks next to the CRATER.
Manly men stand for something in
side and out of politics. A man whom
'you can always find" is one to be re-
spected. To be something, to stand
for something out in the open, is its
own reward. To cover in the high
grass trembling at every rustling reed.

WILL PERKINS BE WITHDRAWN?

From Washington comes the news
that among the anti Cunlmins mem
bers of the Iowa congressional delega-
ton and other Iowa standpatters and
ants who hold positions of prominence
at the national capital, the compulsory
retirement of Mr.. Perkins from the
race is being very seriously consider
ed, together with plan to rally forces
date for the governorship. Recent
events have cast their shadows before.
The debate at Spirit Lake seems to
be considered by the Washington con-
tingent in the light of disaster to the
stan6tpat arms. kossuth, Cerro Gordo,
Emmett and Hancock swinging solidly
into line for Cummins, have brought
dismay. AS Perkins weakness be-
comes evident, John Herriott's avail
ability. or, more properly put his pos
sibility, is becoming the subject of SER
ious consideration. If worst comes to
worst, then the retirement of Mr.. Per-
kins is to be accomplished by finesse
or force, and the Blythe forces flop to
Herriott.
An editorial article, appearing in the
Courcil Bluffs Nonpareil within the
past week, Joined with the assertion of
E. E. Hart, republican national COM
mitteeman and principal owner of the
Nonpareil, circumstantially corrobor
ates the Washington story. Mr.. Hart
announced that his business would be
to hold the Ninth district for Herriott
and under no circumstances would it
be delivered to Cummins. Reversely
this meant that it would be delivered
to Perkins if necessary, or thus order
ed The article in the Nonpareil was
vilification of the governor and con-
stituted complete change of front on
the part of the Nonpareil, the editors
of which have supported the Cummins
policies with much ability and some
heat. That paper is edited and man
and is one of the best in the state
until it's owner needs it for political
purposes. Then Mr.. Hart assumes con-
troll, the editorial columns become
unique examples Of self qualification,
1t unsays all that it had said, vilifies
the men and opposes the measures it
had praised and supported. 1t is do
ing this now, as it has done before.
when the Blythe interests needed it..
Its sudden change of coats is another
evidence that a new deal is contem-
plated, or in progress. However, Mr..
Hart and the Nonpareil are not in con-
troll of the Ninth district They will
not be able to deliver it. Indeed, there
are very serious doubts that they will
be able to hold Pottawattamie county
out of the Cummins line up.
But what of Woodbury. county and
the other counties of the Eleventh and
Tenth districts, where the pride of
locality is being urged as a principal
reason why they should deliver their
deh.gations to Mr.. Perkins? Are they
willing to become a political commod-
ity on Mr. Blythes board of trade?
