HARMONY HAS BEEN OFFERED.

| Governor Cumlnins has done villa
was expected Of him. When presse,
by a newspaper man for a statement
he said frankly that he had no desire
J to divide the republican party will
! his candidacy for United States SEN
ator: that he was willing to go before
the republicans of his state with his
| candidacy for an expression of senti-
| primary law, but that if he failed to
receive majority Of the republican
votes cast in the state, assuming that
only two candidates should come be-
fore the party. he would withdraw
and not permit the question to arise
between factions as to whether leg
islator is bound by the vote of his
district or Of his party in the state.
Section / of the law reads that The
vote upon candidates for the office of
senator in the congress Of the United
States shall be for the sole purpose of
dSSSsl ldlillllS Tue StAllHlSAl VI liiC WI
ers in the respective parties and should
this sentiment in the republican party
go against him. Governor Cummns is
willing to step down and out
But is Senator Allison willing to do
the same? Will the Dubuque Times
now give us Allison's interview? Will
the venerable senator who has enjoyed
the favor of the republican party of
Iowa for thirtysiX years say that he,
too, will not excite factionalism but
desires only within the spirit of the
law to ascertain the sentiment of the
voters of the respective parties?"
If Senator Allison will come forward
as Cummins has done in the interest
of the party when 'ascertained.' all
we need to do is to call the roll There
need be no bitterness, no knock down"
and drag out as the Cedar Rapids
fears, just merely a count
ing of the votes under a legalized,
regulated and properly officered pri-
mary law, the fellow who gets the
most votes to be declared the VIM
ner and the fellow who gets the least
to shake hands and boost for his sue
cessful opponent
Is Senator Allison willing to have
harmony? Of course Cedar Rapids is
not, but Sioux City has been calling
for 1t. Will Sioux City want it, now
that 1t is offered? 1t will be unneces-
sary to ask Burlington, and LATE is
still dazed by that Taft address.

NEW PAPER FOR LONDON.
American Style and Reporters to Be
Used In Educating Englishmen.

T. S. Barrett. proprietor Of the Daily
Record of the City of Mexico, upoi
landing ut New York the other morn
Ing from the steamship Finland said
that he had decided to establish IL
London a newspaper along the lines
of the up to dale American dailies.
He would import for his purpose, he
explained, reporters trained in Ameri
can journalism. Mr. Barrett is all
American. He has conducted his Mex.
lean newspaper for some years. says
the New York Post
II do not think that the English
reading public Is AZ yet ready to re-
ceive the kind of paper l expect to
publish" he said Their newspapers
are heavy and ponderous, and am Of
the opinion that 1t will take long
period 70 educate them to like the
American style OF journalism. My pa
per, therefore, will depend Mt first up
on the patronage of summer tourists.
who flock to London in large numbers
In the summer and Will be glad to find
there newspaper of the style to
which they are accustomed In the
winter American tourists come to Mex
leo. Until am well started in London
1 shall divide my time between the
two cities, depending in both places
for the patronage Of the American Wis
itor.'
English papers were described by
Mr. Barrett as far behind ours in their
manner of handling news and adver
Using.
"They have not as yet adopted the
telephone as means of transmitting
news" he said. "and in other respects
their methods are crude. The tele-
phone systems of English cities, by
the way. are in about the same stage
of development that those Of the Unit
ed States had reached ten or fifteen
years ago The service is slow and
poor.
''The English reporter takes his time
about getting Il story and must go all
the way to his Office to write 1t. He
knows nothing of the rapid fire edi-
tons such as are to be found In New
York and other large American cities"

BoSLEY ON FARMING.

use of wishing, If wishes We're horses,
hay would be four million dollars a
ton and gasoline would be higher than

good farms. We'd rent one of them
and live on the other three. And
we'd work--Lord, how we would work
Still 1t is human nature to be dissat-
istied with ones lot in life. We make
no doubt that Sunday we passed
beautiful homes whose owners envied
us because we lived in town-a glad
some, care free life. And we are quite
sure we envy them their existence -

we know beyond doubt that if we
owned a good farm free from debt we'd
feel so plumb good and fine and dandy

PRICES.

| tA1ton Star-EntefprISe.)
Picking up paper from northern
Iowa the other day we were struck by
| the advertisement of lumber man
| He called the attention of the farmer
| to the fact that ten years ago it would
| take 325 pound hog TO buy thou
! sand feet of lumber, while today lie is
willing to sell that quantity of lumber
for go pound hog. When it is re-
| membered how enormously the price OF
lumber has scared in that time it hard
| ly seems possible that the price OF
I hogs and other farm products has adj
| vanced at even greater pace, but yet
| such seems to be the fact There has
been general increase in the price of
almost everything, especially what the
farmer produces and in consequence
there was never a better time for the
farmer to make money than during the
past few years
There is hardly thing that the
farmer has to sell that has not doubled
in value during the past five years. and
altho many of the things he consumes
have gone up too, the rise has not
been as rapid. Notwithstanding this
general increase the subscription price
of such papers as the Star Enterprise
has remained stationary. Five years
ago four bushels of corn We're re-
CURED to pay for the Star Enterprise.
Now a little more than two will do it.
The same proportion holds with oats.
and hay, and fat hogs. and horses AL
tho the printer gets no more for his
product, his cost of production has in
creased at an alarming rate. White
paper used by newspapers has ad-
vanced so per cent within a year.
Wages have also gone UP until the
average scale in the Star Enterprise
office during the past year has been
10 per cent above what it was when
the present owner took charge a little
over three years ago.
Many of the merchants are facing
similar situations where the price of
what they buy has advanced While they
are unable to get a corresponding in
crease in what they SELL There is
hardly a farmer living near Alton, who
has used reasonable intelligence and
effort during the past few years, who
has not made more clear money than
most of the merchants of Alton
We are glad that our farmer friends
are prosperous and we trust that they
may continue to be so. But this edi-
torial is not written in any spirit of
pause for moment and give thought
to the wonderful blessings that are
his way.
