leges of the east and have no historic
connection But the labor and expense
that has been devoted to them was
sure to hiring results, and it is with
pleasure and pride that Iowa can look
upon the growth of her institutions of
learning. The state university may
lead in numbers. but there are numer-
GUS other colleges that are great
credit to the state. Iowa is full Of
such institutions. Sometimes people
think, when the question of supporting
them is paramount, that there are too
many; that some of the sectarian insti.
buttons should be combined. OF course
the difficulty always comes in deciding
which, one shall be abandoned, and the
result is that none will give up.
These figures indicate that people of
the state are realizing that it is no
longer necessary to go away from their
own commonwealth for higher educa-
ton. The small colleges have their
fields and their work to perform, and
they are constantly graduating stu
dents into the departments of the state
university.
There is a conclusion reached by the
Boston Transcript, however, that is
questionable. 1t says:
The one thing that prevents the
early appearance of the largest Ameri-
can university in the Mississippi val
ley is the lack of an institution big
enough in scope and heartily enough
welcomed as "a whole to secure popular
Endorsement. The city in which this
institution should be located is, Of
course, Chicago The boys of the fu-
ture are going to attend college To-
Gated in city, just as they are now
working in city. Chicago ought to
have that institution, and Chicago has
the site, buildings and general equip
ment suitable for this university, but
as long as the Rockefeller curse is
upon it conscientious parents will hest
tate to send their boys there. 1t may
be that in the future that university
will recover from this incubus. But
until it does the west will not send its
best men there, and Harvard will, con-
tinue dominant
Whether there is the Rockefeller
curse or not, there are many things
about Chicago that do not make it a
desirable college town. The great
which are attended by large number
VI oIustO1IIS. IL 10 CluS, uOW0NSI, IlldI
a great share of these live in the city,
the proportion drawn from outside
fields being small as compared with
other colleges and universities.
The boys like to go to the city, but
most of them prefer to go to college in
smaller town. There is not the col
lege spirit, nor the college atmosphere
that there is in Princeton, in Cam
bridge, in New Haven, In Ann Arbor,
in Champaign, in Iowa City. Chicago
is too large. The university is only a
small corner, instead of being the dom
inant factor as 1t is in the smaller
cities. When boys and girls go to col
lege it Is college and not city atmos-
phere they want. When they want the
city they will go there when they are
through with the college.
The institutions in the smaller cities
will thrive, If there is no better loca-
ton for 'the largest American univer-
city'' than Chicago.

helped in large degree to shape the
constructive legislation of the country.
He is a veteran in the service, a man
of most excellent judgment, whose
counsel is always highly valued by his
associates; and he is eminently prac-
tical in his methods. His retirement
from the house is loss to the dis
trict, to the state and to the nation.
Both senators and representatives, and
the President and his cabinet, will de-
plore Major Lacey's defeat.
And what has the district gained
by 1t? 1t has sent new and inexper-
fenced man to represent it at Wash
ington. AS member of the minority
party he Will have no effective stand
ing in legislation, or in controlling ap.
pointments. He will be helpless to
render service of any especial value
to his district He certainly cannot
do for it that which Major Lacey could
do and which it has always been his
pleasure to accomplish for his con-
stituents.
The causes which have most large
ly contributed to Major Lacey's defeat
may not properly be the subject If
discussion just at this time, before
the passions of the late unhappy strug.
gle have somewhat subsidized. That
which is most needed now is the avoid.
ance of unnecessary irritation and re.
elimination among republicans. 1t be-
comes obvious that some of the IN.
f1uences that made war on Major
Lacey before the state convention car.
ried the animosity of the pre-conven.
ton struggle into the congressional
contest in the Sixth district. Between
the large number Of disgusted republi.
cans who stayed at home and did not
vote, and the vindictive fellows VINO
were out to punish standpatters
Major Lacey is victim of conditions
that are not normal and which it is to
be hoped will never again be manifest
in political campaigns. The party
will now turn its face to the future
and it will have no adherent truer
more faithful and loyal than Major
John F. Lacey, who has served ii
many years with marked distinction
and with the conservation of his best
efforts.

this race Is open to other candidates
1t Is expected to put forward Cummins
as candidate. In view of Governor
Cummins' reelection, Secretary Shaw
is considered less of factor than ever
in Iowa politics, as it is we'll under
stood here that Secretary Shaw's OBJ
position to Cummins did not stop with
the republican state convention.
From a tariff revision viewpoint
Governor Cummins reelection and the
defeat of Representative Lacey are
viewed as important here inasmuch as
Governor Cummins is the leader of the
Iowa revisionists and Major Lacey has
been the most pronounced standpatte1

Gives Impetus to Revision.
Tuesdays elections In general have
called such attention to the strength OF
the tariff revision sentiment in the
country that the house leaders are
bordering about 1t and are likely te
settle on plan for revising the tariff
before the presidential election. It is
expected, in fact, that President Roose

welt will become convinced of the need
OF early revision and will urge 1t in
special message to congress-. The &C.
tual work of revision cannot be done
before the next long session, or in q
special next spring.
1t Is highly significant that in Tues
days election McCreary of Minnesota,
was beaten; Watson of Indiana, badly
cut; Dalzell's majority reduced two
thirds, and Grosvenor succeeded by
tariff revision republican. These are
four of the most pronounced stand
pat members of the house ways and
means committee, and such a blow at
the standpat element on the way and
means committee Is certain to force
the house leaders to give tariff revi-
sion fairer consideration than they
have hitherto given -.
