LOOKER.ON IN IOWA
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Rockford, Sept. 11.-This town has
a model schoolhouse in some respects.
Built of pressed brick, stone trim
mings, three stories high, incluring a
finished basement, it cost the taxpay-
ers between s25,9oo and 100000, ana
is we'll worth the investment. The first
thing that strikes the visitor is fire
escape, made of iron, substantial in
every way, with wide steps as easily
walked upon as the ordinary stair
case. In the basement adjoining the
big boiler ROOM is the manual train
ing room, equipped with a complete
set of tools, and also apparatus for
experiments in electricity. Many of
the school boys in Rockford are bet
ter posted on wireless biography than
some of us older in years. And such
is the interest in the manual training
department. Principal Fitz informs
the writer that he has more applica-
tions for the course than can be ac-
commodated. There is also a schoo!
brass band led by Assistant Principal
Huffman, in which great interest is
taken. And here is a little thing other
schoolhouses should have. On each
door is printed card, with the name

RESPONSIBILITY.
[Glidden Graphical


The men who opposed Cummins
were for the most part sincere. We
do not row and never have questioned
their motives. But the esteemed
Advocate will find that there has been
some very questionable accusations
made in the campaign against the
governor. The effort to charge him
with all of the responsibility of increas-
ed taxes would not miss the character
of rot very far. Where did this at
tack come from? Who furnished the
money for the disseminate ton of this
matter? 1t is all very well to ask the
progressives to "come down the pole'
.'be good and admit that their con-
tentions were rot" or their candidates
will be defeated. but there is another
side to the question.
What would be the effect, for ex-
ample, if such papers as the Cedar
Rapids Republican and the Des
Moines Capital would go over their
files and candidly tell their readers
how much of what they printed
during the heat Of the campaign was
rot 2" Possibly if this were done
much of the feeling against the
governor would disappear In fair
ness to all is there not as much obli-
cation to be magnanimous on ore
side as on the other?
In conclusion and in connection
with the foregoing observa tons on
the situation we. desire to state that
we do not classify the Advocate as
having gone beyond the limits of pro-
priety in the discussion of the ques-
lions raised during the campaign.
Nor do we find fault with the atti-
tude of the Advocate since the con-
vention with the exception of it's in
sistence that the progressives must
do all the surrendering.

A WORD FOR THE BABIES.

EdltOf I1meS-RepuDllcan
Your remarks in the editorial col
umn under date of the SIXTH on the
Baby Knocker," will find a response
in the heart of every father and
mother thruout the land. Never have
I read a reproach so thoroughly fitting
the case. That man Cf so we may call
him) who begrudges the little space
taken up on walks by mother ana
her children, deserves to be tarred and
feathered and ridden out of town on a
rail- 1t is surprising that anyone
would so far forget himself and the
respect and admiration due to a
mother and her children, to openly
complain Of the "impediments" on the
walk The rebuke given him is richly
deserved. Yours truly,

the CANAL INVESTIGATION.

Rumors of wrongdoing on the 18TH
mus have been rife following the dis
missal Of one prominently connected
with the work and the more recent
hasty resignation of another There
have been suspicious and limitations
that all was not right and the present
investigation is, to the minds of many,
corroborative of the grapevine reports.
The fact that the government has
been stirred to investigate will lend
color and confirmation to the hints and
yelled charges that an investigation is
needed. Nothing can be more reassur-
ing than the government move to in
vestigate. The country has every
confidence in this administration.
There is every reason to believe that
the examination will be thorough and
result in the dismissal and punish
ment of the guilty, if there are guilty.
An investigation at the very beginning
of the great work is the hest safe
guard against graft.
France attempted to dig the canal
and her public honor and the good
name of her greatest engineers We're
crushed under one of the most stu
pendous CRAFTS of history. The Unit
ed States is on trial at Panama before
the nations. 1t can not afford failure.
1t can less afford graft. Let the in
vestigation reach the core. If there is
graft or inefficiency, let the exposure
come in time America is building
such men and in such a manner that
shall bring honor and not discredit.
