THE MESSAGE.
Cedar Rapids Republican,

(Cedar Rapids RepuDl1can)
The governors message delivered to
the general assembly at it's first SEES
sion yesterday is very lengthy docu-
nent, but it is in the main sound.
There are few subjects presented
upon which there are sharp differences
of opinion, differences which the gov
ernor recognizes and mentions. Among
these is the primary law. He admits
that there are some serious objections
to a state wide plurality primary law
and one of the objections is to SUBJ
ject the judges on the bench to such
political trials and tribulations, which
would result in a still greater lowering
the efficiency of the courts. But this
primary is a political question, largely
and it is to be hoped that the legisla-
ture will make haste slowly ON the
subject. The county wide primary
would be enough of an innovation to
begin with and would answer every
purpose.
On the railroad questions discussed
by the governor there can be no SER
ious differences of opinion He favors
the general two-cent fare, which has
been coming into general vogue. 1t is
for the railroads at best, merely a
question of the time when such a rate
must come in Iowa as it has already
come in most of the eastern states.
On freight rates he wants the COM
mission empowered to make compul-
sorry joint, rates, in lieu of the present
two or three local rates, under the
Iowa law, which operate to the injury
Of Iowa shippers. Such joint rates
might also be extended to interurbans.
to the convenience Of the people.
On corporations the governor makes
wise recommendation when he would
have all articles of incorporation, be-
fore being filed with the secretary of
state submitted to the executive coun-
Gil of the state and the attorney gen.
eral for approval. AT the present
time there is little limit placed on in
corporations. Anything can be in
corporated. The degree of supervision
recommended by the governor is very
lust and wise and the legislature will
do we'll to act upon it,
On the more stereotyped state ques-
lions the governor is generally happy
in his remarks and recommendations.
Taken as a whole it is a conservative
message and one well within wisdom

Celebration.

Novel Feature Of Tin Wedding
Celebration.
The merriest dinner party entertain
ed in many seasons at the Chevy Chase
club took place there the other evening
when Mr.. and Mrs Nevil Monroe Hop
kins invited company of fifty friends
to celebrate the tenth anniversary Of
their marriage, says Washington spe-
cial dispatch to the New York Times.
The company chiefly contemporaries
of the hosts and some younger friends,
was seated at one large table. but that
no one might miss an opportunity Of
conversing with everybody else a tele-
phone was placed at each cover with
a regular switchboard and trained
operator installed for the evening.
The repast began soon after 8 o'clock
with a cocktail drunk from little red
tin cups. The poinsettia blossoms dec
Grating the table were in tin bowls and
loving cups made for the occasion and
all courses possible served from tin
plates.
An orchestra played in the musicians
gallery throughout the evening. but at
times was almost lost in the din made
by fifty odd musical instruments. all
of tin, which were souvenirs. Con-
CALCULATIONS by wireless added to the
novelty and interest of the evening as
also did the sudden appearance of sew
eral fake policemen, who came to en-
force the Maryland license law. which
prohibits cocktails and champagne even
in tin cups.

a1r. Bryce Incog.

The last time James Bryce. the new
British ambassador to the United
States. visited this country was two
years ago last summer, when he landed
in Boston. He is u very modest gentle
man. and he prefers to travel incog.
when he can conveniently do so, says
the Boston Herald. So it happened
that on his last voyage hither neither
his name nor that of Mrs. Bryce. who
came with him. appeared on the pas
senger list, and his fellow voyager3 did
not suspect his identity until after sew
eral days out Meanwhile Mr.. Bryce
had the pleasure of asking his table
companions all about this country and
Its institutions. And they glihly an
swered his naive questions. never sus-
pecting that they were talking with
the author Of 1.-The American Common
wealth" Fancy their chagrin later on
when they discovered by accident that
they had been undertaking to enlight-
Ell an inquisitive foreigner who knew
far more about their institutions than
they did!

the thirty-five states which must adopt
the work of the constitutional conven-
ton before it becomes effective would
be ruled by the same reckless lndif-
ference to the ancient landmarks. l
cannot think that there is the shadow
of merit in their opposition. While l
am conscious of intense pride and
great reverence for the ancestry of the
present generation, | believe that the
men who are now studying the prob
lens of government can be trusted as
implicitly to do the right thing as
could the men of IL former time. We
love our country as deeply as they did.
We cherish the flag of our sovereignty
with more love and affection than they
ever felt We are fact to face with
questions which were never propound-
ed to them. We call take the multitude
of remedies now proposed, and When
they have passed I lru the crucible OF
full debate and of mature consdera-
ton. nothing will emerge but the pure
gold of truth, justice and uprishtness.
1.-THE second class is composed of
persons dominated by the excessive
selfishness OF the human heart. Out
of the incapacity of the government to
do the things which ought to be done,
they are daily coming inordinate profit.
They are the benefciaries of a species
of anarchy which 1t is their interest to
perpetuate They lave become mad
In the pursuit of wealth and they are
unable to perceive that country has
any destiny except to grow rich. In
their economy the science of produce
tion is the browning glory. of a ma
TONS progress. 1t never occurs to
them that the science of distribution is
just as vital as the learning of produce
ton, and that the happiness of the peo-
pie will depend qui as much upon
fairness in the latter as upon the mag
nitude of the former. These persons
make the air ring with praises for the
established order of things, and their
constant argument Is that reform Dis
the unreenting enemy of business;
that the capitalist will not invest his
money when changes in the constitu-
ton and amendments in the laws are
under consideration This is a ghost
summoned for the occasion, which
frightens many a tilnid man, and it
ought to be banished FROM the vision
of the American people.

Chicago. Jan. 17-Cattle demand was

Representative Questions an Item,

Representative Olmsted of Pennsyl
vania recently questioned an item In
the army appropriation bill for wine
gar for public animals" says Wash
ington special to the New York Times.
He wanted to know how much is to
be used for the purchase of this vine
gar.
Mr. Hull explained that vinegar was
extensively used in the treatment of
sore backs, sprains and other ailments
Of horses.
"Why vinegar?' asked Olmsted.
"Would not a thousand lemons do as
well?"
Finally Mr.. Olmsted offered an
amendment to the effect that not more
than $4,000 OF the appropriation
should be used for the purchase of
vinegar. 1t was promptly voted down
with laugh.

"oUR GREATEST NOVELIST"
Professor Phelps Puts Mark Twain
Above Holmes and James.

4 ABOVE hOlmGS ana james.
"The fame of Mark Twain will live
longer than that of Oliver Wendell
Holiness" said Professor William Lyon
Phelps of Yale, who lectured ut Bridge
port, Conn. a few nights ago, says the
New York Times. Twain is easily
the greatest American novelist in the
history of this country's literature"
Among his first memories of Mark
Twain Professor Phelps told of the
grammar school graduation exercises
when Twain addressed them. His sub
ject was "NIcthuselah." He said:
Boys and girls, Methuselah lived to
be 063 years old, but he might just as
we'll have lived to be 10000 years old.
You will live longer thnn Methuselah. !"
at that time" said the professor, II
did not understand what Mark Twain
meant, but think he develops this
idea through all his work. He has a
profound belief in today and great hope
in the future. He believes that today
rather than the middle ages is the
time Of romance and wonders. He be-
lieves that the magicians Of medieval
Europe could not begin to do the tricks
that you and can today. He is firm
believer in the present. His humor
Is the humor of progress.
"By some Twain is regarded as a
novelist. He is something more than
a humorist IL he can be regarded as
n novelist think he can be called the
greatest living American novelist. There
is more genuine inspiration, more pow
er in him than there is In Howells and
james. l say this with due respect to
Howells and james, not wishing to de-
tract from them.
HE is like Bret Harte and Whittier
In being thoroughly American. He is
more American than Whitman, whom
Europeans consider very much OF an
American He has great common
sense. The foundation of humor Is
common sense Just as the caricaturist
often gives us truer picture than the
photographer. so the humorlst shows us
the philosophy Of life.
Democracy is Mark Twain's polt.
ical moral and religious creed. We
find in his humor roaring mirth, not
the gentle. indirect. playful wit of Ad-
Olson or Washington Irving. But we
come. as Milton says to laughter hold
Ing both her sides This is the result
of his Americanism."
