DEMOCRATS DIDN'T VOTE.
I. n. Hammond.
w. H. H. Asbury.

n the dispatches to one Of the Chi
cago papers that has always been a
booster for La Toilette relative to the
Wisconsin election 1t is said:
Returns from the democratic coun-
ties Indicate that the democrats, in
stead of going into the republican
primaries and voting for Lenroot,
either remained at home or voted for
their own candidates. 1t was on this
vote that the Lenroot managers Ia
Toilette men) counted. Both Senator
La Toilette and Speaker Lenroot, the
senator especially, were charged with
playing to the democrats throughout
the campaign. The result shows that
while many democrats in the state
admire La Toilette and will support
him personally they will not grow en-
thusiastic over anyone else for whom
he asks their votes"
This Is treated as valuable piece
OF news, that the democrats Of Wiscon-
sin did not participate In the republi-
can primaries as one faction of the re-
pubhcans expected they would. Can
1t be that that is the way the reformer,
the II am holier than thou" man Of
Wisconsin has won his victories, by
getting the votes of the democrats in
the caucuses? Here in Iowa we have
been led to believe that everything
connected with the La Toilette cam
paign was as pure as the air that
blows over the lake and as white as
the snow that caps the pines in the
north
Why should 1t be worthy Of such
prominence in a news story that the
democrats did not vote in the prim-
aries. 1t would be worth plenty Of
space for denunciation, If they had.
The fact that the Lenroot- managers
had counted on such support is good
evidence of the purity of the politics
that La Toilette expected to get under

Keep the boys on the farm and

PASTOR LEAVES FLOCK.

Dr.. ]. w. Frizzell of Sioux City, a
Congregational minister, created a
sensation by resigning as pastor and
telling his flock the reason why.
There was not SO much of sensation
in the resignation as there was in the
reasons. Among these are the follow.
ing:
"Persistently found fault and criti.
cised the pastor behind his back"
Some people told it that have no
doctors degree, and that other de-
grees that have were purchased by
me with money"
Others are going about saying that
I am uncouth, that my manners are
bad, and that am not aristocratic
enough for this church"
Some are charging me with utter
ances that never made"
Some are going about trying to get
members to withdraw their financial
support and thus starve me out"
Some say push missions too
much; others find fault with my ser.

IF there is anything worse than this
in political campaign. do not know
what it is, and If these things are true
as reported to me, l want to obey the
masters injunction: When they per
secute you in one city, flee to anoth.

1t is indicated by his discourse that
there has been no opposition to him
by the church as an organization, but
prominent members Of his congrega.
ton have caused all of the discord.
Newspaper reports say that he was
congratulated upon what he had the
nerve to say to these people.
AL OF this brings to mind the suffer.

derstood that he favors the Stone

1T Is certain that there will be some
fireworks below the Iowa border line.
Upon the settlement of this difficulty
depends the success of the democrats
at the polls, Bryan says, and 1t may be
added that upon this also depends
peace at the reception next week,
which has been arranged principally
by the Stone democracy of Missouri.
Folk is in 1t only to the extent that he
was expected to ride in the carriage
with Mr.. Bryan and Senator Stone"

EACH RLAMEs OTHER.

President Stensland blames Cashier
Herring and Cashier Herring blames
President Stensland. What a prevail
Ing characteristic of human nature it
Is to blame misdeeds to somebody else.
That was one Of the first acts known
to humanity. Adam blamed Eve and
ever since that time mankind has
sought to transfer the suspecting eyes
of the third party to some other object
than himself when wrong has been
committed.
Herring, the cashier of the Milwau-
kee Avenue State bank of Chicago was
in the city when the institutions doors
We're closed 1t was few days before
he was located, but he gave himself
up without any effort to escape, and
told the story that Stensland was the
cause Of 1t all; that he was born a
thief and had been in the business ever
since: that he not only ruined the
bank, but he ruined him. The eyes OF
the country were then in every place
searching for this devil of Stensland
who had been SO pictured by Herring.
Finally he was caught in a PARKWAY
land, and what was among the first
things he said? Herring was the
cause Of 1t all. He tempted me and
since that time have been like a
puppet in his hands" Back came the
cablegram anG Herring was faced with
the statement made by Stensland
A fiat denial was forthcoming. eff he
is innocent. why did he run away?'
says Herring. But there will be dill
gent search for the truth, and when
that is secured somebody will pay the
penalty, and If all printed reports are

ROOSEVELT RUNNING NOW.

in which the New York Press presents
the paramount issue of the present
campaign could not be improved upon.
1t asserts that Roosevelt is running

can people who really believe in
Roosevelt must now accept the Presd-
dents oft repeated declaration that he

e
his new primary law, taking the dis
patch as correct, and it may be assum-
ed that If there was any coloring it
was in the reform senator's favor as
this paper has been one Of his chief
assistants.
However, what the plan may have
been and what worked out are two
different things, as the result shows
that La Follette's man was badly
showed under in all parts of the state
except his home county. 1t is almost
impossible to believe that Wisconsin
is so early tired or reform. An ex-
PLANTATION from the senator will be
anxiously awaited.
1t is also observed that in other
states where the washington crowd"
finds 1t proper to take hand in af-
fairs of It's own commonwealth there
is a great hubbub started by the re-
formers, but it seems to be all right
In Wisconsin, where the prince of re-
formers lives. What is sin in other
senators Is virtue in La Toilette. He
can do no wrong however the Wis
consin people seem to take kindly to
the proposition of having him come
back and try to force upon them a
governor they do not want. 1t seems
that 1t was delight to them to know
what he wanted In order that they
might be sure that heidi not get 1t.
The reformer is also unable to blame
it on the System" this time, as it was
his own pet scheme that was in opera
ton. This was the first trial at the
primary that he was SO anxious to get
in order that the will Of the people
might be expressed. The returns show
what that will was.

THE MISSOURI FEup.

Trouble Is brewing in Missouri. Folk
will be in 1T. Senator Stone will be in
1t. Bryan will be in it. Stone and
Halves would not attend the Bryan re-
ception in New York when they found
that Folk was to have such promin-
ent part. Folk having found out why
they did not go refuses to ride in the
carriage with Stone at the Bryan re-
ception in ST. Louis September IL.
Bryan's attitude toward Folk has not
been helped any by the comments Of
the Missourian on the proposed govern
ment ownership of railroads as put
forth by the Nebraskan That is the
beginning of the trouble and the finish
is not yet.
Bryan says it is necessary that har-
mony among these men be established
if the democratic party is to carry Mis-
souri, this year, but just how such is
to be accomplished is not among the
solved problems. The trouble between
Stone and Folk is not new. 1t has
grown up with Folk. 1t was only ag-
gravated when the governor learned
why the senator and Halves did not at
tend the New York demonstration. Be-
fore they knew of the executives
prominence in the arrangements they
had made elaborate arrangements to
be there when the guns were fired.
Senator Stone had named large COM
mittee to attend and Halves had used
his influence with the Jefferson club.
Now that Bryan has put his foot in
to the trouble something more inter.
esting is looked for. the Nebraskan's
experiences at mixing into the affairs
of other states than his own has not
been the pleasantest uptodate. Wheth.

ing that other pastors are bearing in
silence. The Sioux City man is not
the only victim OF these busy bodies.
He has come into prominence because
he is perhaps of such temperament
that he could not bear 1t longer ana
he made public his grievance.
The wonder is that churches get
along as tremendously as they do. Ev
cry church has a number of such peo
pie, some more and some less. 1t IS
not one pastor they are not satisfied
with. They are satisfied with none Of
them unless their advice is sought and
followed on every question that arises,
socially, morally and financially. They
are natural disturbers. They are such
wherever they are, but 1t is given
more prominence In church affairs
than elsewhere.
Pastors suffer much from these peo-
pie. 1t is not always himself who Is
whispered about. Sometimes 1t Is his
wife or some other member of his
family who has drawn their displea-
sure by not listening to their dictation
Nearly every pastor upon taking hold
Of new charge has to beware of fac
tional strife. He knows that If he con-
suits one person more than he does
another there is going to be trouble.
And there is, where suoh conditions
exist.
The ordinary hard working pastor is
not appreciated by these people. They
would rather work themselves into a
frenzy over some itinerant religious
enthusiast and empty their pockets
for him.
The social problem Of the church is
a growing one, and the pastor VINO
solves 1t best may be considered the
most fortunate

not guilty and discharged.
The prosecuting witness was Rup-

claimed that young Rupert stole the
melons from his wagon while he was
in town with a load some days ago.
The son-in-law claimed that the mel.

the driver Is said to have verified the
statement. The Ruperts live in Kaos
