LARRABEE AND cuMMINs.

When the legislature offered William
Larrabee the distinguished and un-
precedented honor of addressing that
body, honors were only even after
all. It was simply an expression OF
confidence and a tribute due to serv-
ices rendered. No man in Iowa has
kept closer to the plain people than
Mr.. Larrabee in and out of office. His
reception by the legislature was a
recognition of this and something more,
1t was the confession of those who OPP
their successors have opposed and Will
fed Cummins, that Larrabee was right
when he changed from conservative
"let well enough alone" policy and be-
came leader for radical railroad leg
islation and against corporation con-
troll of Iowa politics.
There is much in Governor LARA
bees political career that turns the
mind irresistably to the present adj

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Odebolt Chronicle finds it Gin
/ teresting to recall ut this time the
| campaign of 1901. Mr.. Blythe and
his allies made love to Uncle George
until the last month of their campaign
and then transferred their attentions to
| Coneer. Realizing that he had been
only q pawn on the board, Uncle
George dropped ont and had the sat
isfaction of witnessing the discontinue
of his betrayers. Is history about to
repeat itself?' inquiries the Chronicle.
MIR. Blythe has boldly assumed
command of his forces" remarks the
The lines are drawn. Let us not
finch, shirk or eva1e the real ques-
ton which is whether iowa shall be
turned over to the boss rule of Cox
Quay, Platt, Depew, Blythe, ct al. or
whether 1T shall be run in the interests
of its own people. That is now the is
sue. Tariff reform and kindred ques-
lions are merely incidents to the main
question. The Graphic's position is
not doubtful one. We stand squarely
against the imposition in Iowa of rail-
of railroad domination.'
Remembering that Iowa insurance
companies are now trying to show the
Legislature that no Investigations are
needed, the Grinnel Herald says:
MANY people will consider this an ar
gument in favor of adopting the reso-
lution.''
I'VE see no great argument in favor
Of the four years term of office adj
vocated by a few in Iowa" says the
Ocheydan Press. IF a good man is
elected it is an easy matter to give
him another term of two years. If
an incompetent person is put in office
two years is long enough to put up
with him."
If the Iowa insurance companies
are as good as they say they are, and
as we believe them to be- why should
they oppose a legislative investiga-
tion?" inquiries the Monticello Express.
"If it only justifies their contention
they will be the stronger for it,
Now if we do not get better printing
than has come to our notice from the
state printer for the past four years,
lets abolish the office" suggests the
PocahontaS Sun.
A determined effort will be made to
defeat the primary law in the legisla-
ture this winter" predicts the Grundy
Republican. 1.-The effort will be made by
politicians who have been used to con-
trolling conventions and buying up the
weak members. The object of the
primary law is to give every man an
equal chance to express his preference
for his party nominees. Why any fair
minded man who is not controlled by
a clique or ring should oppose a prim-
airy law, is hard to see. The demand
for the law is not confined to Iowa,
but nearly every state in the union
either has one already or is agitating
the question. Write your senator and
representative to vote for the primary
law"

Among the many memories and re-
death is one relating to the operation
for cancer which was the beginning of
the end. AS he made ready for the
operating table his mind was dwelling
upon the uncompleted work before him,
and after the operation. when the sur
geons pronounced sentence of death
upon him, he said to them: Boys
boys, keep me alive until January 10
of next year. If / die before then I
shall die with my lfe's work unaccom-
plished. If / live until then / shall be

whose labor is ended" The special
work he had in mind in this statement
was the rounding out and completion
of his scheme to have a great medical
department added to the university.
This desire he lived to see realized, ow
ing to the skill Of his physicians nd
his own indomitable will. He died on
January 10, five days before the time
for which he had pleaded. but he felt
that his work was we'll under way, and
would go on through the centuries in
increasing usefulness. and therefore, al
the very last as shown by his muir
mumred phrases. his vigorous, keen in
tellect, lnclouded to the last, was
wholly bent toward the great change
approaching and the mysteries it held
for him in eternity.

Why does j. w. Blythe oppose a
statewide primary? Does he think
the people of Iowa are not intelligent
enough to nominate their candidates
by direct vote? Does he prefer to have
a United States senate composed as 1T
to vote upon the selection of senator's?
Why should j. w. Blythe, private
citizen and busy man, spend his wall
liable time and much money, fighting a
primary bill? If he is afraid to let the
whole people nominate candidates by
vote, would he favor taking away their
right to vote at general elections also.
or is he content to risk an overwhelm-
ing republican majority after he has
made the nominations at manipulate
ed convention? Lastly, why do mem
bers of the legislature, free American
citizens, proud of their national Deg
laration of Independence, accept orders
from a railroad boss like Blythe? What
hold has he on them? What will the

gathered at Des Moines. 1t succeeded

| legislation. Cue further says 1T took
ten years to recover the lost ground
In his book on Railroads" Governor
Larrabee declares: Those laws were
moderate, just and reasonably adapt
ed to remedy the evils of which the
public complained. The obloquy heap
ed upon them was the work of design
ing men. who desired to continue their
imposition upon the people. Their
enactment he considers one of the
greatest legislative achievements of
the state. Still these were the laws
nullitied by u secret campaign led by
railroad attorneys aided by the most
powerful and we'll chosen railroad lob
by in the history of Iowa legislation"
History repeats itself.
For eighteen years Larrabee had
served in the senate. Seven years
after the repeal of the Granger laws
William Larrabee was inaugurated as
governor. Two years after that his
second inaugural address was AN ar
raignment of railroad influences and
a powerful argument for the control of
railway charges by the legislature.
Nothing Governor Cummins has ever
said in private or public is more
startling than Larrabee's inaugural |
His figures We're convincing and he
charged boldly and openly against the
railway corporations that:
Setting at naught the power of the
state they nullify with impunity the
principles of equity which for centur-
les have been enunciated by the
courts. Such combinations as are
by them would in other
branches of business, be considered |
against public welfare and
would subject their originators to in
dictment.'
His message sent to the legislature
contained these recommendations:
First. 1 hereby recommend the
passage of II law destroying the
pass system root and branch.
Second. l recommend that max
imum passenger fares on first class
railroads be fixed at two cents IL
mile
Third l recommend the passage
of law fixing reasonable maxi
mum rates of freight on the prin-
cipal commodities transported by
rail; and also authorizing and re-
curing the railroad commissions
ers to reduce said rates al any time
when in their judgment they are
too high
All this is plain Iowa history. None

Cummins today are occupying the
same ground that Larrabee held nine
cen years ago. Both are part of the
rrepressible conflict that must un-
'easingly be urged for popular rights.

he object of attack by the same inter-
'sts that are pounding Cummins into
he ground" and the honor paid Will
