The last game was disappointment
to the Stafford fans. Nearly all the
places of business were closed during
che game, and the attendance, 592,
was the largest for Saturday of any
game this season. Errors by Cobb
and Murphy we're responsible for
Springfeld's two runs. Collins
twirled fine game, and with better
support would have shut the visitors
out. He famed ten men, including
five of the last six at bat for Spring
field. Rogers was also in great form.
Although he struck out only one OF
the Staffords ne kept them hitting
high pop flies, II of the Stafford play

inning by Murphy, who sent fly to
center which Maynard missed and
Murphy reached second. He went to
third on a wild pitch and went home
on Cobb's grounder to first. Spring
field scored first in the third, when
Mahoney reached first on Murphy's
error, stole second and went to third

Rogers followed with q single to

IOWA HISTORY.
champion Recorder.)

The Nevada Representative is repro
ducing extracts from its files of early
days, and in speaking of the guberna-
torial contest of 1867, in which Col.
Samuel Merrill was nominated by the
republican state convention for COVER
nor over Hon. j. B. Grinnell, says:
And we do not think that in the forty
years since that time there has ever
been any adequate explanation of why
the republican party of Iowa should
have preferred Governor Merrill to J.
B. Grinnelr-or to any other of the nu-
merous men of that time who nave
really been remembered by the state
for their ability and services. Not that
we have eyer heard it that Governor
Merrill was personally unworthy but
he was never looked upon as strong,
man, nor even as an astute hand shak-
err; and he does not fill near the place
in the states history that is filled by
J. B. Grinnell, even tho the latter did
not succeed being elected governor.
II Bro. Payne had been on earth and
conversant with Iowa politics at that
time he would have known why the
contest ended as it did. There were
several reasons, but the principal one
was the encounter in Washington, not
long before the convention, of Mr..
Grinnen with Gen. 81. H. Rosseau Of
Kentucky, in which Mr.. Grinnell was
caned, or horsewhipped, without re-
sistance. Every IoWa man was in
dignant that Mr.. Grinnell did not put
UP some kind of fight, even if the
odds were against him. He had pro-
voked the assault by his language on
the floor Of congress, and the feeling
was universal, that, for the credit of
his constituents and for the state al
large. that he either ought to have re-
Trained from the use of such language
or made some sort of defense when
attacked. Remember that the war had
Just closed and the highest ideal of
our people then was the fighting man.
Col. Merrill had been a soldier and
came from a section of the state that
had never had a governor, and the re-
action against Mr.. Grinnell swept him
to the front.
We well remember going by team
across the country to Dies Moines to
cast two votes for Mr.. Grinnell. His in
terests at Chaplin and consequent ac-
auaintance in the county had made
him many friends here, and 1t was
supposed up to the day that the coun-
ty convention was held to elect dele

4 CHEAP CONCEPTION Of UNCLE SAM.

The Sioux City Journal publishes
a cartoon offering, it may be presumed
the artists understanding Of the re-
cent German-American agreement on
tariff. 1t Is horse trade. Uncle Sam
leads away splendid animal repre-
senting German concessions to America
for which he has exchanged child's
wooden horse on wheeled platform.
which Germany is ruefully dragging
away from the scene.
1t is to be feared that the artist is
right in his conception of what we
want to do whether or not we did it
in the case of the tariff agreement.
Perhaps there has been too much of
the horse trading idea in diplomacy
and International dealing; enough to
hurt our reputation as a fair dealer
among our neighbors. Sharp practice
never pays in the long run. The
shrewd horse trader finds it necessary
to go into far neighborhoods to trade
horses. Neither men nor nations can
have the best of it all the time and
keep good neighbors and old custom
ers
We need to rid ourselves Of the idea
that it is up to Uncle Sam to skin"
all with whom he trades. Uncle Sam
is not costermonger or a horse sharp.
He represents great nation that must
take higher commercial standing
among its neighbors than the artist of
the Sioux City Journal and the editors,
OF the American Economist and the in
terests they represent would give it.

the celebration was held was 81, but
with the ticket was given six checks
each good for cents in trade at any
of the refreshment stands, one Of which
dealt out an amber colored fluid with
a soapy substance floating on top. This
stand seemed to get most OF the checks
as the man behind the board refused
TO accept money in pay for his re-
freshments. The result was rapid
increase in the value of the checks,
and Harriman-like desire of some to
control more than their allotted six
chips.
The Bible Society on Trial.
The charge of being trust has
recently been brought against the
American Bible society. In the words
of Mr.. e. b. Stilson, secretary of the
Union Bible society, of Worcester,
Mass, the parent society has for years
been most pathetically pleading for
funds, and locking UP hundreds of
thousands of dollars. They have done
for years no home to-home work. for
which they were organized, among the
white population of the United States.
They have tried to keep local societies
from doing this greatly needed work"
Mr.. stilson further charges that the
American society employs Standard
Oil methods to stifie competition; that
1t has compact with the British and
Foreign Bible societies.
Another point of criticism touches
the salaries of officers concerning
which The Herald has this to say:
There are two corresponding secre-
taries and a treasurer drawing $4,000
year each, and there has recently
been appointed recording secretary
at $4,000 year. These are the only
officers Of the society drawing SAL
aries.
They give all their time to the work
Of the society, which is a great cor
poration doing business in many parts
of the world The total volume Of it's
work is in the vicinity of 100000 a
year. Last year it issued over 200O,-
600 copies Of the. Scriptures.
1T has agencies in China, Japan,
Manila, the Levant, Russia, Spain,
Mexico, Cuba, and many other parts
of the world. 1t employs over 500 coll.
porteurs in the work of Bible circula-
ton. The responsibility for results
over all the immense field ON the. So
ciety's operations falls ultimately on
the secretaries. Their correspondence
is enormous. They are men selected
because of their peculiar fitness for the
work.
"The treasurer, in addition to looking
after the finances of the society, is
general manager of the manufacturing
department and has charge of the Bible
House property. His hands are full.
'tMr Stilson says these salaries are
paid out OF the benevolent funds of the
society. This is not so. They are paid
out of the income from the Bible House,
which was given years ago as a home
for the society. The income was in
tended to meet the expenses of admin
istration, and that is just about what
it does. Sometimes there is a little
left"

murderer and scoundrel. There's the
rube. To convict and carry forever
the doubt about in his mind that he
had sent men to the gallows or the
penitentiary on false evidence is too
much to ask of any juryman.
Orchards testimony will need strong
corroboration. 1t is incredible that his
testimony can otherwise carry much
weight He is so utterly disreputable
and vile that he is self impeached.

The Dows Advocate brings forward

cate that the frost has done no harm
and backs his argument by citing the
year 1853 when in Lee county, Illinois,

ground. On July he wrote his name
in the frost and on the last of August
another frost turned the corn black,
yet there was considerable fruit, and

ly to become too evident in all sharp
contests hut there seems no occasion
to lug 1t in early. However, the gem
eral tone Of the progressive press to-
ward Senator Allison has been mild
and courteous as 1t should be, while
some Of the standpat comment has
been slanderous and abusive. There is

SENATORIAL COMMENT.
(Brooklyn Chronlcle)

The newly elected senator will take
office on the 4th day of March, 1909,
two days otter Allison's birthday. 1t
is not probable in our opinion that Al
lison will be candidate for re-elec-
ton. His advanced age and feeble
health even make it doubtful whether
he will be able to perform the duties
OF his office for the remainder of his
present term Not many years ago the
legislature reelected Gear to the SEN
atorship in spite of his age and rapid
ly falling health. and at his death a
few months later Shaw, who then was
governor and had the power to ap-
point a senator to fill the vacancy, Of
fered, so he has said, the appointment
to j. w. Blythe. Luckily for Iowa and
for Shaw, and in the long run for
Blythe. himself. he declined. It was no
favor to Gear to bring him when only
wreck Of his former, self into the
fierce light of publicity, and to lay
burdens upon him which he was UNI
able to bear We believe that the real
friends Of Senator Allison viii pre-.
vent him from being placed in sim
liar position.
(Webster City Freeman Tribune)
The supporters of Senator Allison
Should not expect to throw brickbats.
and rocks at such good citizens and
republicans as Governor Cummins and
former Governor Larrabee and get
nothing in return but bouquets OF
cut flowers and showers Of cologne.
Both the governor and the former
governor have thousands OF friends
in Iowa who have confidence in
them, who are ready to stand by
them and who resent the false and
malicious accusations brought against
them. They do not believe that Cum
minis is a demagogue and a hypocrite
class, even tho the charge against,
Larrabee, did originate with Allison's
postmaster at Dubuque.
(Rockford Register)
While the announcement is made
somewhat earlier than was expected
by some. 1t does not come as sur
prise. Iowa people can point to no
instance in which as a public official
Governor Cummins has failed to APP
preciate or in any way proven false to
the trust imposed upon him and there
are great many who believe he would
serve the people ably and efficiently as
a member of the upper house While
Iowa people have a high regard for
Senator Allison they feel that he has
been as highly honored by the state In
being selected as senator as he has
been able to honor the state by serv-
ices he has performed. Without any
to him. they feel that Sem
ator Allison has arrived at condition
because Of advanced age where he is
UNEQUAL to the tasks which
would be imposed upon, him. Moreover,
many feel that valuable. as conserv-
atism has been as a political principle
in years gone by the time has come
in the history of the nation and of
the state when more aggressive and
vigorous leadership is demanded. His
record both as congressman and gov
ernor among the lines of popular re-
form would seem to be sufficient evil
dence that Governor Cummins is well
qualified for the position of senator
nrovided it is the will of the people
that he should serve them.
