IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

| Give to everyone that asketh thee,
the Radcliffe Signal insists that does
| MT mean to give a drunkard money
| to buy whisky; it doesn't mean to give
the baby a hammer and looking glass
because he asks for 1t, and 1t does not
mean that we should give to profess
sional beggars who travel from town
to town The Bible doesn't always
mean what it says, but it always means
what it means"
| The Grundy Republican says: "A
large number of the republicans of
Grundy are indignant at the position
the Cedar Rapids Republican has tax
/ en- in regard to the head Of the state
ticket and they insist that IL that pa
per persists in it's guerilla warfare on
| Cummins and Garst that Bob Cousins
will lose at least 500 votes in this
county this fall The brains of the
Cedar Rapids paper, Mr.. Boyd, is the
| local representative of Mr.. Cousins,
and they think that if Mr.. Cousins

"The standpat editors Of the state
won't go far wrong If they give the
| platform adopted at Des Moines just
as progressive an Interpretation as
their rock-ribbed high tariff conscience
es will allow" remarks the Rockford
Register.
The Sioux City Tribune is authority
for the statement that the game of
roulette is charitable institution COM
pared with the stock market"
"There is whole lot of unnecessary
red tape about the new naturalization
law" complains the Grundy Democrat.
after putting a candidate thru an ex-
animation that is strenuous enough
1 for college president, he is compelled
to pay fee Of $500 for the privilege
| Of becoming citizen. The Democrat

Speaking of the alleged intention of
| insurance companies to get" the state
auditor the Brooklyn Chronicle says:
/ auditor Carroll is strong man of
I decided opinions on many topics. In his
official position he has very great pow
er over insurance organizations. Some
| of his ideas are not acceptable to a
majority Of the officers of the fratern-
ais and mutuals but in general way
| they have no grievance, and recognize
and respect his honesty and fearless
| ness. AS to the foreign fire companies
| we believe Auditor Carroll has been
right in his positions, and an attack
| on him by them, no matter how much
money they put into the fight can not
defeat him. Corporation interference
| in politics ought to be rebuked most
emphatically by the people, whenever
it shows itself.
The Sioux City Journal is stirred
over what it calls passionate chautau-
ISM"
The Bedford Free Press, leading
progressive paper, has the following
to say with respect to the republican
papers which come to it's table: Most
Of the standpat newspapers in this dis
| trict have accepted the defeat of Per-
1 kins in a manly way. Such papers as
| the Creston Advertiser, the Corning
Record, and in fact all those papers
that have been fighting the battles
Of the republican party from infancy,
have given their views of Cumnins,
but have also given their ideas of
gracefully yielding to majority voice
of the party and have rolled their
sleeves UP for a voctory for the entire
ticket"
This weather is tough on linen col
lars" admits the Clinton Herald, but
! it is the making Of corn. Stop kicking,
and go on sweating"
