AS TO MR.. HUBBARD.


The Chronicle does not believe thai
Congressman Hubbard deserves the
censure which he is receiving from
many republicans in this district. Mr.
Hubbard is the victim of conditions
which he cannot control. AS resident
of Sioux City, it was expected that he
would support Mr.. Perkins. Taking
advantage of this situation, the Perkins
managers of Sioux City have used
Hubbard's name and his official pres
tige to gain support for their candi-
date. We are Informed that they have
threatened postmasters with the loss
of their positions If they did not sup
port Perkins and have promised Off
ces to others in return for support Mr..
Hubbard's law partner has been Of
fensive in behalf of Perkins, regard
less of the man in Washington, and
it seems to us. has shown an amazing
lack of political discretion.
1t is due to Mr.. Hubbard to say that
such things have been done without
his knowledge or sanction. He is a
close friend OF Governor Cummins and
is too honorable a man to countenance
the illegitimate methods which have
been employed by the Sioux City
crowd. When 1t comes to a showdown
MIR. Hubbard will not deliver the goods
Not only will he refuse to punish the
postmasters who have stood by Cum
minis. but he will decline to make any
distinction between Cummins and Per-
kins republicans in the matter Of flu
ture appointments. Mr.. Hubbard rep
resents thirteen counties, not Wood
bury alone. This paper knows what It
is talking about.

reference to "The Logic of DR.. Crap

main, but I question if you bring out
the good side of DR.. Crapsey. Every
one has a good side, and If we look for
it, it is likely to be seen.
In closing your editorial you say,
preach the doctrine of the church. keep
silent, or step down and out, are the
three positions all clergymen are bound
TO accept" Now, I understand that
DR. Crapsey's position is something
like this; he does not claim to believe
the creed literally, but takes what he
considers spirituals essentials and
breaches his belief where it is contrary
to certain parts of the creed, believing
it is the duty of the church to with
draw fellowship, if he deserves it, Is
this position not more honorable than
to keep quiet, keep silent" you say,
concerning parts of the creed not be-
lieved?
/ myself am not a member Of
church with an ironclad creed, but I
would not want to condemn harshly
the hundreds of Presbyterian ministers
who vote to revise the Westminster
confession. Are you not too severe on

GET OUT YOUR ROAD DRAG.
IWallace'S E,armer

| L w dlitlCS FdIIIleT.J
| The last general assembly of the
state of Iowa has amended the roac
law in several particulars. They have
provided for four road supervisors to
the township, If the people so desire
thus limiting the territory Anothe,
amendment, and the most important, is
that which provides that farmers who
use the drag on their own roads or or
other sections under the direction OF
the county supervisor shall receive
compensation.
There is therefore now no excuse for
bad roads wherever they have been
laid out and graded SO that the water
when once shed off the road can get
out of the ditch. We therefore urge
every farmer, especially in Iowa. to
provide himself with drag, and make
the roads along his own farm not
year, but in first-class condition.
There is no need of any farmer being
mud-hound. All that he needs to do is
TO get the enthusiasm for good roads
worked up in his neigilborhood, and
then proceed to make them good; good
this year better next, and still better
the year after that.
The excuse will be made by good
many farmers that they are too busy.
They have ITO pillow corn My dear sir,
when the roads are fit to drag you can't
pillow corn: you can't work in the
fields, but You can work the roads with
the drag. 1t requires no more time to
keep the half mile of road. which is
the average o2 every farm. in first
class condition than it does to water
a team of horses thruout the entire
year.
The amount of money that should
be paid in poll tax in any township, if
expended for the use of the
drag will make good roads in the town

Too much significance should not at
tach to the refusal of the Tenth dis
trict congressional committee on plat
form at Fort Dodge, April rs. by vote
of 8 to s. to adopt a resolution COM
mending President Roosevelt for hav-
ing selected Leslie NJ. Shaw as secre-
tary of the treasury. Even tho the
mover of the resolution was friend
and supporter of Mr.. Shaw, which is
not likely, the offering of it was a tao
teal bunder which was sure to be
turned down. 1t invited that fate, for
1t failed to recognize the fact that
another distinguished Iowan, the sec
rotary of agriculture, is a member OF
the cabinet. Then there is still anoth-
er distinguished Iowan, George e. Rob

Speaking of Mr.. Roberts. Fort Dodge
is his home and his stronghold. He is
the principal hacker of Albert B. Cum

ftorial policy he controls. This facts
casts additional light upon the defeat
of the resolution referred to. BY so
much as Mr. Roberts hopes and strives
to further the political ambitions OF
Governor Cummins, by so much he
hopes and strives to kill off the presi-
dental boom for Secretary Shaw Mr.
Roberts is intensely in earnest at both

This again helps to explain the adop-
ton of q tariff revision resolution by
the Tenth district republican conven-
ton at Fort Dodge, the home of Rob-
erts, the citadel of Cumminsism. With
such forces dominant In Fort Dodge,
tariff ripping and anti-Shaw sentiment
easily and naturally prevails. 1t was
not necessary for the American Reel
procal Tariff League to spend cent of
German money to bring about the de-
sired result. The same is true, we
suppose, in some republican districts
outside of Iowa, where tariff ripping
will go thru without exter-
nal aid. 1t is. of course, true in all
districts. The American
Reciprocal Tariff League will not
spend any German money in districts
where satisfactory conditions already
prevail.

Information has been received
that the United States circuit court of
appeals has remanded the famous
Cowden sheep cases to the state
court.
This litigation originated over the
Seizure of two bands of sheep belong
ing to r. A. Cowden, one in Blaine
county by Sheriff Finney, the other
in Boise county by sheriff Mills. One
of the former owners of the sheep
gave a mortgage on the bands to a

seized and sold, the sheriffs being
Unidentified by a surety company of
Baltimore.
Cowden sued the sheriffs and re-
covered judgments against them. He
also got judgments against the sure
ties ON their official bonds.
The bonding company that gave
the bond on attachment refused to
pay the judgments. and the former
officials then sued the company in
the state court here and got judg-
ment. After the cases had gone to
judgment, the company removed
them to the federal court. Judge
Beatty held that he had no jurisdic'
ton under the circumstances, and
from the opinion the company APP,

The effect of the judgment affirm

Republican Legislators Needed.

Throughout the state OF Idaho
Senator Dubois and his followers are
making a special effort to elect
democratic legislature. The special
purpose of this effort is not to bring
about needed legislation, but simply
to insure the return of Senator Du-
bois TO the senate. To this end, par
ticular pains are being taken by the
senator to impress republicans with
the idea that he is in sympathy with
the president on nearly all the great
questions in which the people are in
terested and that. although he calls
himself a democrat, he is pretty
good republican. The idea is thus
being held out that republicans will
not be violating their obligations tc
vote for Legislative candidates favor
able to him.
This may all be very well, vieweG
