"The tail does not wag the dog" Or
acularly declares the Davenport Times.
THE great masses of American people
do not attend the few subsidized uni
yersities. And it is not conceded that
the universities receiving gifts are sub
sidized as a rule. Free thinking is
permitted in all save possibly one or
two of them Public opinion is aroused
because of the practices of the Stand
ard Oil company. 1t will go on impos-
ing restrictions and enforcing the laws,
and in the course of time the brigand-
age will be prevented. Bribery of pub

Our legislature will not make a
symmetrical record for reform IL it
fails to prevent extortion by the ex-
press companies doing business in
Iowa. says the Carroll Herald.
Charges made for expressage are I'M
reasonably high, and the law ought to
give the railroad commission full power

THE IS PER CENT COMPROMISE.

A primary bill has run the gauntle,
more than is good for it but not SO
badly that it can not be healed with good
care. The men who forced the So pei
cent plurality were the same men whJ
wanted majority provision and those
who argue for a majority primary by
the very fact that they argue for such
are the men who do not want any kind
of a primary at all. If any man will
but reflect moment he will see that
in a statewide election where hundreds
OF thousands of votes are cast no one
candidate would ever get majority OF
all the votes and a majority provision
would operate to throw every nominal
ton into a convention just as the men
operate. Even in county primaries with
so small precinct nominees seldom
poll a majority of the votes and no one
ever thinks of demanding majority
provision for county primary.
Had the percentage been something
like % per cent there could have been
very little objection for the reason that
In actual practice primary election
would nearly always result in giving
the winner more than that proportion
of the votes and Is per cent provision
would have no effect one way or an
other. But a5 per cent would tend
to throw more nominations into con-
vention than the people would like to
see and every per cent that approaches
in the direction Of a majority gets just
that much nearer to annulling the fun
damenta1 purpose Of the law
There is no use Disgusting the pur-
pose of the IS per cent amendment in
the interests OF harmony for the men
who have proposed 1t do not try to
conceal their purpose. Julian Richards
telegraphing to the Burlington Hawk
Eye, says: 'The standpatters say that
the adoption Of the IS per cent feature
will result In most cases in the reten-
ton OF the convention plan" And
some unknown correspondent wires the
Cedar Rapids Republican from DesI
Moines that "the standpat republicans
are claiming to have won a victory in
getting the Gillilland amendment
adopted. They say it assures the re-
tention of the nominating convention
and that will assure the continuance OF
strong party organization" "Reten-
ton of the nominating convention"
is the avowed purpose off the amend
nent. Sacrifice of the party affilia-
ton clause and cooperation with the
democrats for straight plurality pri-
mary would be a far holier alliance
The bill will go over to the house
where some good doctors ought to heal |
the tomahawk wounds inflicted by the
renegades from the reservation If the
scars can never be aradicated, heal them

down the percentage to % per cent and

possible to enact. Preserve the direct

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

| Not long ago a press dispatch from
| Warsaw, Ind, told us that mastered by
his wish to aid in the work OF the for
eign missionary society of the Metho-
dist church, starving himself to give
to the cause and having donated Sl21.-
600 to promote the work, Elijah Hays
aged 81, friend of Bishop McCabe, was
taken to the home of the aged at
Edgewater. Save an annuity, granted
by the church, Hays is penniless, and
he is broken in health.
Ilis Is life story of sacrifice for the
cause to which he was devoted. One
ruling ambition has been his from the
day when prosperity first began to
smile upon him. So frugal has the
aged man been that his acquaintance
have called him penurious.
When he made his first gift of $780,
900 to missions, Bishop McCabe asked
him what he considered would be a
reasonable annuity for his living ex-
penses He said $500 would be plenty
for him and his wife. The bishop
wouldn't hear to this, and an annuity OF
$1,000 was given him. Since that time
he has been saving from his annuity
and not long ago made another dona-
ton of $4,000 If such spirit was
people, funds enough to convert all the
world would have been raised long
ago. Yes. funds enough.
But outside OF the effect on the dom
or, for 1t admits OF no dispute that
such sacrifice is elevating and uplift-
ing. was the game worth the candle?
Cannot it be easily proven that such
sacrifice and such an amount of mon
ey, devoted to any one of another hun
dred benevolences, would show and
give results many times more? Sup
pose that we change the name of the
giver to All Sin, resident of Che Foo,
and have all OF the rest of dispatch re-
main the same. the name of the M. F..
church and Bishop McCabe omitted.
