machinery of all sorts; they enjoy
the luxuries of ice and running

hood; they know more, for they
take papers and magazines. These
things are true of the farmer in

Trouble in the Colony.


Mr.. Sinclair is having trouble with
his colony. Such sordid considera-
tions as a gramaPhone playing the
same tune five hours at a stretch,
clothes hung out to dry in some
body's front yard, sauerkraut cook
ing in somebody's parlor, and the
means of determining what of these
things is q nuisance and what not,
seem to have utterly destroyed the
peace TO which the community as
pired
The nation viii be sorry for Mr..
Sinclair. His idea was tempting in
the extreme. Nothing more seduc-
tive than a life where an the cooks
were experts and gentlemen, the
nurses kindergarten teachers, the
houskeepers graduates in domestic
science, where no one gave orders,
where art and serenity prevailed
and gross materialism dropped its
gorgon head behind the sheltering
horizon-nothing more aluring than
this. we say, could we'll be pro-
pounded.
And we submit that Mr.. Sinclair's
idea is not at fault in the trouble
which has arisen. The reporters
may be a little 10 blame, because
the craft of the pencil and copy pad
has been known 90 help a fuss along
now and then for the fun (and the
copy there was in it. But the chief
trouble is evidently that the colony
is recruiting from the wrong class
OF Americans.
What the author Of THE Jungle
designed was the communion of
kindred souls. Could any idea of
refinement endure association with
man who threatens it with five
hours Of the gramaphone playing
"Dearie" and "MoOnlight?" Could
any system Of philosophy survive an
attack from a large, round pot Of
sauerkraut bubbling merrilv in
somebody's parlor? Could even the
promoters of these two industries
live happily together. without any
thought of the rest of the world? &?
Not in a thousand years. And if
they cannot stand each other, how
can other people be expected 70

brothers and sisters in crime who
keep parrots or crying babies, and

The Iowa Platform.


There has been a deal OF more or
less erroneous comment on the tariff
plank adopted at Des Mo;nes the
other day, and the impression has
been widely circulated that the
Cumminsites have surrendered their
idea" and are ready 70 go out of
the revision business. With some
firsthRnd information in its possess
sion concerning the Iowa situation,
The Times feels able TO say that no
more serious mistake could be made
Folks who want to know what
was the matter with the Cummins
crowd in their convention should ad-
dress inquiries not 20 Des Moines,
but 10 Oyster Bay. The Oyster Bay
conference a few days before the
Des Moines gathering, followed by
the announcement that this years
campaign would be made on the
general proposal of continuing 10
stand pat on tariff, did the business
at Des Moines.
The Cummins people had a close
margin of control in the convention.
Their opponents were trying TO use
their dominance in the organization
TO steal this. More than a suspicion
was entertained that President
Roosevelt and the party leaders
were unfriendly 10 Cummins and
would be pleased to see him beaten.
There was the imminent threat,
down 70 the last moment, that the
convention might split and produce
two tickets and two factions, each
claiming TO be the Republican party.
If the Cumminsites flew in the face
of Oyster Bay, they could expect
nothing better than that the Admin
istratton's influence and counte-
nance would be given, in such case,
to their opponents.
So the Cummins managers fell into
step to the Oyster Bay music. They
avoided a split. They secured. for
the first zine, control of tine party
machinery. They nominated every
candidate but one from their OWL
slate. They are stronger than ever
before. They win be still stronger
after the election. They viii CON

Toilette.
People who persist in forgetting
the Cumminses and the La Follettes
in making Presidential states show
that they don't know what is going
on in the minds of the big middle
Western empire of this republic.
