NOT DIVISION BUT SETTLEMENT,

When Mr. Perkins. in his Sioux City
Journal, says there is no room in Iowa
for two republican parties. his state
ment is convincing as that of another
public could not exist half slave and
half free. There is no room in Iowa
or in the nation for two republican
parties. There is, however, room in
every party and organization of any
kind for differences of opinion on
questions of public and party policy
These differences exist in parties as
naturally as they do between parties.
This is a country of majority rule
where opposing political parties go to
the people with their differences for
final settlement. This is what must be
done within party organizations, that
have for their object the welfare of the
party and of the public irrespective of
party If there are two factions. the
majority faction must be the party.

management as they do governmental
control. To deny this is to condemn
party organization.
The Journal is seeking middle ground
where no neutral zone exists. We
have come to the turning of the ways
in Iowa. Dissension of views and con-
f1icting purposes have made it neces
sary to define again by appeal the
status of the republican party of Iowa
toward the principal issues of the day.
1t is necessary to know who are the
party and the rank and file of the re-
publicans are to decide between two
schools of thought and politics. Just
now the Independent republican who
holds the balance of power between
these two schools is the republican
party. They must decide and their de-
cision must be abided by.
The questions Of rate regulation Of
apportionment of official position and
railroad supervision of state legislation
all enter into this decision. In it is the
question whether lobby Of the bust
hess agents of corporations shall re-
main unmolested to suggest and direct
or whether the state at large shall
be served Whether nominations shall
be made by those who have learned to
palm the cards and deal from the bot
tom in the game of politics or whether
we shall have square deal. 1t is not
a matter of two republican parties. 1t
is simply settlement of differences
in the party by the final court of ap-1
peals.
In all this there is no middle ground
where any may paw the ground and
raise a dust to obscure the issues. 1t
is not the time Of the compromises. All
this talk of disruption of the party, of
two republican parties in Iowa is the
banging of tin pans to induce the
swarm to settle in somebody's back
yard. The republican party in this
state is stong enough to clean itself;
able enough to make its position def
mite. 1t is in no danger of disruption or
defeat. 1t is not corporate hierarchy
to be led by the high priests of COM
promise when compromise is weakness.

a LIFE WE'LL LIVED.
Register and Leader

Senator Allison has undoubtedly
taken just pride in his long extend
ed term of public service. But to say
that his guiding principle has been 20
remain perpetually in office is as I'M
true as it could be of any man who
has scrsed in his time. If Senator
Allison has been consciously an Of
flee seeker he has been SO gracious
about il that it has never been sus-
pected by a people who have a keen
scent for that sort of thing. Senator
Allison is concliatory constitutional
ly, he is an adjuster consttutionaily,
he is an adrCit distributor of patron
age constitutonally, he is nowhere
more honest with himself, and no.
where more effective as a public man
than when he is adjusting conflicting
interests, bringing together opposing
factions; organizing measures all can
support out of bills dramatically OPP
posed to each other His long term
of service, most of it granted without
any contest whatever is a testimony
to the recognition the services of the
peacemaker receives even in this
world
The Register and Leader confessSs
to it's own feeling that there are times
when men of different talent than
Senator Allison's are needed. The
Register and Leader admires the
Roosevelts of Public life. There
are times when Cancellation and COM
promise must give way to fight. Just
as the time came when the statesman
ship of Henry Clay was inadequate
to the settlement of the slavery ques-
ton. so other times have come when
the craftsmanship Of Cancellation has
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1906-01-12

been inadequate. and will continue to
come when it will be inadequate. But
because we are just at this time at a
point when aggressiveness and in
sstence are public virtues when what
is wanted is the clear and dominant
note, when even the suggestion of
compromise is unworthy until a vic
tory has been won, there is yet no
good reason why the character and
services of such men as Senator ALI
son should be questioned or discred-
tied.
Senator Allison has lived his life
and played his part. 1t has not been
the life of President Roosevelt, nor
have the parts been similar. But it
is not without reason that for thirty
years the elder man has been account
cd the most influential member of the
United States Senate. History will be
fairer to the senior senator from Iowa
than some of his contemporary critics

After thorough investigation OF
reasons for the lack of endurance of
fence wire manufactured in the last
few years as compared with the SUI
perior wire of twenty years ago the
department of agriculture has con-
cluded that electrolysis is responsible
for most of the trouble The wire
now put, the expert of the department
says, contains magnesia unequally dis
tributed. This forms a resistance to
the passage of electricity, and hence
follows the electrolysis. Much of the
wire manufactured today last but five
years, while but short time ago it
was not uncommon for fence wire to
be serviceable for twenty years.
