UNITING REPUBLICAN PARTY.
(Sheldon Daily SUM


Can the republican party be united
before the election. in 1908? Some say
it can. and that all sore spots will be
healed before another election. Others
say the differences Z can never be
patched up, the party is hopelessly di-
vided. Reasonable men, by getting
together and using their heads can
accomplish wonders. Hot-headed
numbskulls can get together, and by
using their tongues alone, make bad
matter worse. All that is needed to
unite the party in Iowa is for the lead
ers Of the two factions to meet and
exchange ideas-talk things over, AID
be prepared to make concessions 1t
is safe to gamble that both sides could
drop a few extreme ideas and be a
whole lot better for it. Disappointed
candidates and disgruntled wouldbe
bosses, who have been turned down,
and are of too small calibre to sub
nit to the inevitable with good grace,
should be placed back in the ranks
and disciplined until fully they are
ready to be good. Great men accept
defeat without a murmur. It's the
little two by four fellows that create
discord in the party. A prominent man
makes a statement, he Is criticised by
another brainy man who honestly
disagrees with him, and then the little
fellows on both sides begin to howl.
Prejudice, and bull-headedness, pre-
vents the factions getting together. The

standpatters are wrong, so the people
have said, and it is In order for them
TO kick out their corporation manager
leaders and come back into the party
There can be no uniting OF the party
as long as the corporations control one
faction. Ii President Roosevelt is
right the progressive republicans of
Iowa are right, and the standpatters
are wrong. No man who uses his in
fluence to elect to office a man who is
favored or controlled by corporations
Is republican. 1t Is a fact, an unde-
niable fact, that the standpat leaders
in Iowa are corporationists. lndivid-
ual members of that faction denounce
corporations. and deny that they have
any sympathy with them, but they fol-
low their leaders and oppose or make
difficult the carrying out of the plans
of the progressive wing. That is be-
cause they are prejudiced against some
of the progressive leaders. They want
to be right. but they are not broad
enough to cast aside prejudice and fol-
low the leadership OF one for whom
they have no personal liking. They
do not realize that principal Is of far
more account than men in politics I'm
til men can be reasonable there will
be no uniting Of the republican party
in Iowa.

CUTTING A. DASH.

Cedar Rapids Republlean)
There is nothing so utterly hopeless
In this world as an ambition to cut
dash in community. 1t is impos-
sible for the masses of mankind to
maintain such a standard of living as
the comparatively few possessed of the
money getting instinct can afford. If
person is going to be unhappy be-
cause few people in the community
possess more than he does, the chances
are that he will be unhappy, for strive
as he may there will always be some
one who could easily outstrip him.
Henry Ward Beecher orce said: you
have an ambition to own perfect
time piece and you purchase a better
watch than you can afford to own, but
the chances are that before you have
owned it day some one will correct
you when you name the hour by TAX
ing out a watch more richly cased and
jeweled."
The worst thing about this whole
matter is that it seems utterly inn
possible to get the American people in
to the right frame of mind regarding
these things. 1t would seem that only
thru suffering and dire calamity can
a cure be effected. This seems to be
human nature and yet it seems almost
tragic that such should be the case.
Why is it that only those who have
hard lot seem to develop strong char
acters and possess ability to appreciate
the essence of things.

Hardly anticipating a direct reply,

sentative White of this county if he ex-
pected to be a candidate for the
senate in two Years to succeed Senator
Ericsson. He remarked that sit is a
little early yet. and don't know
whether the people will want me or
not" Mr.. White has been very ac-.
tive member of the legislature this
winter, and no doubt will be returned
to the house if he doesn't decide to
try out for the upper house. Story is,
according to the unwritten law, entitled
to the member of the upper house this
time. OF course under the new pri-
mary law it will be the popular vote
that decides it. and yet if Boone
should put up candidate it would be
the fellow that would work the hard
est, as the republican vote in the two
counties is quite evenly divided and if
it ever went into convention Boone
would have the cinch, as she will have
more delegates than Story next year,
the representation being based on the
vote for governor and the governors
vote was cut more in Story than in
Boone.

MEASLES AND PRAYER.
(Waterloo Reporte.)

wv dlclIOO TNGpoIitIJ
There Is almost an epidemic OF
measles in the city. Some OF the
grades OF. the public schools are almost
depopulated thereby. and many house
holds resemble hospital on a small
scale. One little fellowN who is In
one OF the lower grades, has so, far
escaped the disease. but every day on
his return home at noon and evening
he has fresh story to tell of new
victim among his schoolmates or an
other house being decorated with a
blue sign.
He has talked of measles. and heard
measles talked Of until he has come
to the conclusion that measles are
something terrible - something to
spoil fellows fun, just as hoops base
ball tops and other alluring spring
pastimes are returning with the sea-
SON., But the climax was reached the
other morning when they discovered
that the beloved baby sister was the
latest victim. and he gazed with con-
Germ on the flushed face and darkened
ROOM. He was sober and thoughtful
all day--it had brought about the first
deliberations of the problems of life.
That night the little fellow and his
smaller brother knelt by mothers
knee to say their prayers. There is
usually great deal of wriggling and
squirming, but the dignity of the ell
der affected the younger. Sand they
were regular little angels. their night
les resembling the spotless robes.
The elder led and the younger fol-
lowed in repeating the supplication for
Divine forgiveness and guidance. All
went well until the last supplication
OF the Lords prayer was reached,
when the young scholar said:
And deliver US from the measles
Amen
"And deliver nth from the meathles.
Amen echoed the younger brother
A smile played over the mothers
face, but 1t had disappeared before
they arose from their knees, She kissed
each Of the little fellows. tucked them
in bed with Good night, God bless
you" and went to her work devoutly
hoping that their prayers might be
answered.

DOESN'T KNOW SHAW is OUT.
(cadar Ranjds Repuhljcan)


The Burlington Hawkeye and some
Of the other papers are not very
friendly to Secretary Taft for the pres
idency. The Hawkeye prefers Uncle
Joe Cannon and thinks that he would
prove to be good runner in Iowa. We
doubt that very much. Mr.. Cannon is
a fine old man and he has made good
record in the speakers chair. but we
have seen no hats going up in the air
for him in this part of the state. Nor
for Taft. either. We fail to see why
Iowa should be in such unseemly haste
to whoop it UP for some man outside
of the state-unless it should be Theo-
dore Roosevelt again, which is still
strongly among the possibilities. Iowa
has men who are fit for the presidency
in their own name. But at the present
time we do not believe that any man
either in or out of the state, could win
over Roosevelt, at popular primary.

SOME PRESIDENTIAL IFs.

If Secretary Taft should carry his
own state of Ohio and capture that
s delegation to the national convention.
/ he viii. Of course. become very formid-
abel candidate for the presidential
nomination. He has the endorsement
of President Roosevelt as 1t stands,
But suppose Foraker should win the
Ohio delegation?
II Foraker captures Ohio Taft would
be down and out and Foraker would
become a, strong candidate for the re-
dictionaries to rally around. Already
an old school mate living at Oskaloosa
has told the newspapers that he is go-
ing to form q Foraker club in Iowa.
If Foraker becomes so strong a cam
didate As success in Ohio would make
I him. what is the president going to do?
He might desire to turn to Root or
Governor Hughes of New York, but
u could he delivers? Would he not be
compelled to let the people have their
own way and nominate Theodore
4 Roosevelt in order to prevent the enc
mics OF progress naming Foraker as
the republican candidate? Is he not
compelled to keep the possibility of his
own candidacy suspended in mid air ii,
order to control the situation? Under
y threats OF being a candidate himself he
might froce his enemies to accept Root,
Tor Hughes.
If Roosevelt should be cornered into
taking a second nomination as the only
means OF heading off his enemies, what
would become of Mr.. Bryan? AS the
Baltimore Sun asks:
do the southern democrats imagine
that Mr.. Bryan could outbid Mr.. Rocse-
welt for votes on q program Of radf-
cafism 81
The Sun objects to the speeches of
q Kentucky congressman and Vir-
ginia ex-governor at the Jefferson Day
1 banquet in pledging the south to Mr..
Bryan. The reason given is that the
people will say 1T is true Mr.. Bryan
ibid advocate radical measures Mr.
Roosevelt not only advocated them but
put them into effect" So it seems very
clear to the Sun that there is no room
for Bryan if Roosevelt is the republi-
can candidate and no hope for dern-
ocracy if Bryan tries to run against
Roosevelt; The Sun argues for dis
5tinctly conservative candidate to put
up against Roosevelt.
Hence it follows that II Foraker wins
in Ohio Roosevelt will either control
the nomination by threats of taking it
himself or will have to take it. If he
takes it Bryan is out Of the running.
II he loses to the reactiionaries Bryan
could very probably be elected for the
very reasons as set forth by the Bal
timore Sun in arguing against him.
These are some ifs for republicans
thruout the nation to talk about
