WRITE THE LEGISLATOR ALSO.

The statewide primary bill is ex-
pected to come out of the committee
either this week or next for considera-
ton by the senate. Forecasts of its
fate differ widely. Its supporters and
opposers are each equally confident, the
one that it will pass. the other that it
will be defeated. Lacking careful
poll of the senate these forecasts par
take much of the character of guess
work, but it is generally conceded that
the primary bill will meet head waves
and stormy time in the senate. The
debate will be fierce and long and at
& tempts to nullify the bill by amend
ment will probably be played to the
limit.
Added to the difficulties in the path
Of the primary is the real or assumed
incertitude of senators as to the atti-
tude Of the individual voter. They know
how the professional politician stands.
Those gentlemen lost no time in quiet
ly conveying their disapproval of a bill
certain to abridge their influence and
limit their power. 1t is the country
voter especially that the senator's and
representatives are guessing over.
1t is the belief of this newspaper that
the voters in rural districts are almost
unanimously favorable to the passage
of the law OF large stack of letters
received by the T.-R. from leading

primary to nominate all state officers
and choose United States senator's
These letters came from members of
both republican factions and from DEM
ocrats Many called upon the editors
to express themselves plainly on the
subject. So far there has been almost
complete unanimity of expression de-
handing a statewide primary.
The state primary is a new thing to
Iowa and that legislators are anxious
for expression of popular desire is not
to be wondered at 1t would be we'll for
every good citizen whose mind is made
UP for or against the primary to let his
representatives in the legislature know
his desires. If poll of the rural pre-
cincts were made no uncertainty as to
the favorable attitude of the country
toward the state primary could exist.
The result would be Overwhelmingly
for the law. The average legislator is
ready to do the will of his constituency.
The professional politician has had
his say He is against the state prim-
airy for obvious reasons. Now let the
farmer put in word for himself. Let

the state. But while this cooling pro-
cess was in progress the counsels of j.
w. Blythe. of Burlington, more and
more favored the Sioux City man. All
through the summer and fall he was
manifesting interest in this candidacy
his only concern being over reports in
dicating that Mr.. Perkins might not be
able to carry his own district. We do
not make these statements in any vim
dictive spirit, certainly not with the
assumption that the Journal editor is
one who would sell his political BIRTH
right for mess of pottage, but simply
as a part of the record upon which
the action of republicans should be
based

MEDALS AND HERolSM.

The failure of Mr.. Carnegie's COM
mission to find hero worthy of the
ironmaster's medal in the records OF
1905, is scarcely to be taken as evidence
that the past year produced no heroes
who offered the risk of their own lives
for the safety and succor of others.
No one will believe that year
failed to produce hero in
the United States. We all know
better. If all those who have
spent their lives during 1905 for the
benefit of others We're ranged in a line
Carnegie's commission could not walk
past them in days tramp. There is not
q community without heroes an6hero-
Ines fit to wear any medal Mr.. Carne-
gie's money can buy. Fathers and
mothers spending life as freely for their
children as ever soldier on the battle

~ there have been thousands of in
stances where life was risked freely to
save life. The newspaper records such
as they are are full of such instances
and there have been innumerable acts
of pure heroism that remain unrecord-
ed
After all it is entirely immaterial
whether the commission bestows
medal or withholds it. Heroism is not
cultivated by medals or to be patron
lied by wealth. 1t is spontaneous. Need
brings it out and it will not fail when
dire necessity calls forsits display.

To the Ackley Inter County Journel

consistency in the attitude of the
standpat papers in Iowa denying that
Boss Blythe is not their boss and only
private citizen and at the same time
feel called upon to make repeated de-
Tense for him against every adverse
criticism. If they do not accept him
as their party idol why do they feel
sensitive to criticism of him and obli-
gated to defend him against them?"
1--WE have been in doubt as to the
wisdom of the state primary law" con-
fesses the Traer Star-Clipper. but
after looking over the fellows who are
most opposed to it we begin to think
it is the thing"
"The politicians who believe that the
storm of insistence for the installation
of the primary may be quelled by par
ley and finesse is self-deceived,' says
the Spirit Lake Beacon. Talk to the
intelligent voters and it will be found
they are very largely in favor of the
change, and that the demand is hourly
growing in volume and in fervor. This
legislature may not respond but it is
one of the cases in which the people
have their way. and single year more
of agitation will write it in the stat
utes."
The. proposed primary law. as We
understand it, is far from being per-
feet, but still we believe it will be an
improvement over the old system"

LEARNING TO SAVE.
IGrundN Democrat

The Star Clipper at Traer speaks
of young man who came from the
old country seven years ago without
a dollar who has been working fol-
one farmer ever since and has now
81, 100 IN the bark. That young man
has learned the secret that leads to
wealth. He is u good saver. If al
practiced the saving art as the Tama
county young man has done, very
few industrious men in this country
would die poor. 1t Is the dollar saved
that counts.
The Tama county man is of the
class who calculates his expenses in
advance as carefully as his income
Most men can set a figure on their
income for a year in advance and
they do it accurately but you will
do we'll to find one in a half dozen
who has not spent more at the end
of the year than he figured he would
at the beginning.
In community settled by foreign
ers it is not exceptional to find a
case of thrift to equal the one quot
ed by the Tamst county paper. In
fact here in Grundy county there
may be hundreds of cases found to
match it and tc surpass 1t. There
are many thousand acres of land
here owned by men who paid for 1t
with savings during the time that
their income was small. They
brought with them from the father
land we'll rooted saving habits that
built up many of the fortunes that
may be seen at every hand in this
county. They are people who be-
lieve that the dollar they save is
theirs, while the one that is spent is
the property of someone else.

There's where Brother Jones loses

angel she become as. Not one of those
classic angels with ethereal WINGS a

around their heads, but just the or
