Allison of Iowa.

Newspapers north, south, east and west,
and regardless of party, express surprise
and regret at the announcement that Mr..
Allison may have to make an active cam
paign to succeed himself in the Senate.
And the inquiry everywhere Is the same
What is the matter with Iowa? Why should
it be necessary for this eminent veteran to
do more than simply declare his willingness
to accept another term in body where his
influence for so long time has been among
the most notable exerted there? Where is
the pride Of the state? Where Is its graft
tude? What notion prevails as to the situa-
ton in the Senate?
When Alabama was called upon to pass
on the claims Of Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Pettus
some of the younger democrats who had
grown tired Of waiting raised the question
of years against the two veterans. 1t was
suggested, particularly in the case OF Mr.
Morgan, that the state needed new blood in
the Senate. Mr.. Morgan had been there for
almost a generation and should retire. But
the state would not hear to the proposition.
Both of the veterans were reelected with
out an effort on their part, and deserved
the recognition.
Mr.. Morgan's recent death brought his
long and useful senatorial career under
review, and the tributes paid him by po-
litical friends and foes alike must have
increased the pride of his constituents in
his fame Suppose he had been retired
instead of reelected. Suppose, instead OF
dying in harness. useful to the last. he
had gone as a private citizen, with the
brand Of defeat on him because of age.
Is it difficult to imagine the regret upon
the second thought that would have been
felt by those he had served for thirty
years with distinction which had made
his name known all over the world?
The senior Senator from Iowa is a vet
eran, both in years and service, but talk
about retiring him while his health in
sures activity Is a good deal more than
unwelcome. He is national figure Of the
first proportions. He is a national au-
thority on many of the most important
national questions. About many things
he is more consulted than any other
member Of the Senate, and puts the An
ishing touches to a good deal of i'm
portant legislation.
Mr.. Allison in the Senate. therefore, Is
more than a representative Of Iowa. He
is Of service to the whole country, and
his people owe him to the country. He
should by all means be re elected.

the total. for the full tourist tide is OF
course very much greater than the mere
increase. OF second class passengers alone
there have been thus far this year $1,000,

1t would be interesting to know just how
many of these east-bound tourists who have
gone to Europe have travelled into all parts
of the United States and have acquainted
themselves with every phase of their own
country. 1t is safe to say that not l per
cent of the second-class passengers alone
have been in every section Of America.
Westerners on their way to the European
steamers have of course, traversed the
greater part the whole Of the United
States, but merely as hurrying tourists, in
tent upon reaching their goal. Northern
ers do. 1t is true. travel toward the south
eastern winter resorts, but in the same
fashion. Yet there is a great deal to be
seen in the United States that is superior
to any attraction Europe has to offer. The
scenery Is not to be surpassed anywhere in
the world. High mountains. wild regions
of rugged desolation, grand canyons. awe
inspiring cataracts, peaceful pastoral areas,
great forests, NdSe
cities, thriving industries-in short, all the
known attractions are here to be found.

abroad with Intelligent foreigners, to be

tribute to the size of the United States for
its people to be compelled to confess, when
they go abroad. that they have never
traversed it fully, but the acknowledgment
does not bespeak that practical patriotism
which should inspire, every progressive,
home-lovng American.

European Travel.

The transatlantic steamship companies
have been comforting within a few days
and comparing notes. The result Is the
discovery that the eastward ocean travel
this season has broken all records. Count
ing all classes. 42.IJO more passengers have
been carried TO Europe this yer than last
The increase has been divided as follows:
First class. $50: second class. 5000;
steerage, $1,000. These figures suggest the
American prosperity more strongly per-
haps than any other single showing. AT
the same time they indicate that an enOr-
nous amount of the money earned by
means OF the prosperous conditions here
has becn sent abroad for spending. The

Praise of the President.

democrats like William Sulzer and ex-popu-

Presidents policies a commission should be

what's what, says
THE obvious result of such inquiry
would be to recommend the nomination Of
Mr.. Roosevelt by reclamation as the presi-

Gratis. well of the populists. socialists and
any other party protesting an admiration
for the square deal
"Of course, President Roosevelt is on rec
ord against third term, and we believe
he means to keep his word-a difficult thing
for politician-but If democrats and popu-
lists well as republicans insist upon his
nomination. he will be confronted by the
temptation of his life. One thing is GER
tain; namely, that President Roosevelt by
his popularity among all classes has greatly
weakened the traditional sentiment which
has always prevailed in this country against
the third term.
The Truth fails to note the difference be-
tween before and after Mr. Sulzer is speak

Mr. Roosevelt could lure him from his allie
glance to the democracy. Besides, as he Is
likely to be a candidate for the House
again, he will have personal stake in the
game next year.
AS for Mr.. PETER, he is no longer a pop
ulist, but a republican and he speaks now
as a republican. So far, there has been
nothing to show where the populists. prop

dent. Whether they would support him as
against Mr.. Bryan. foregoing a nominal
ton of their own, Is a question.
This is the time for what is called jolly.
Democrats and populists and socialists and
others who have compliments for the Pres
ident should pay them now. If he is NOM
mated next year it will be by the republic
can national convention, and he will be dis
tinctly the republican candidate. The plat
form upon which he stands will be the re-
publican platform. Hence the appeal prima-
rily will be to that party and in that party
name. Mr.. Sulzer and other democrats like
him, who admire the President very much
and are praising him today, will find no dlf-
ficulty then in taking the stump and giving
hundred reasons why, from their point
of view, he should be defeated.
The political millennium will not begin in
the year of grace 1908.

Motor Risks and Pleasures.

The latest metropolitan motor-car disas-
ter differs somewhat from the usual run of
such catastrophes. Two machines were
running at high speed in opposite direc-
tions. approaching on different sides of the
road. one was unlghted. The driver of
that decided suddenly to cross to the
other side OF the road. and he did just
In time TO smash head-on into the other
machine. which had no warning of its ap-
proach. Result. one dead and two fatally
hurt A third car, following, was saved
from piling into the debris only by a mar
row margin.
When the motor cars get to colliding
head-on In the public roads the speed mania
has pretty nearly reached its limits In
such accidents the occupants of the cars
are the only victims. as a rule They have
only themselves their chauffeurs to
blame. AS long as the casualties are con-
fined 10 the motorists themselves the public
at large can only point to the spectacle and
express wonder at the suicidal folly of the
speed mania.
a favorite pastime at some of the sum-
mer resorts. 1t is said. is for the drivers Of
high power cars to run close TO pedestrians
for the pleasure OF seeing them jump at
the sound of the horn. 1t Is considered
rare sport TO bring a machine up within
a yard OF an unconscious person and then
give him a blast that sends him scurrying
sideways II the object OF this little pleas
antry is an elderly woman the height Of
the ridiculous Is attained. for she usually
contributes richly by the sport of her
screams and even adds the exquisite de-
light OF fainting fit TO the other fea-
lures OF the entertainment Thus the

own risks. but 1t is rather hard on the
common people who walk.
