LEGISLATIVE SESSION

All seems to be esrene at the Iowa
capitol as the time approaches for the
session of the legislature. Although
there is United States senator to be
elected there is an absence of the pre-
liminaries that sometimes accompany
such an election. With the election
of Senator Dolliver to succeed himself
practically assured, a contest for the
speakership is eliminated and months
in advance it was conceded on all
sides that Hon. Nate Kendall of Mon
roe county would be the presiding
officer.
It thus appears that there will be
smooth sailing in organizing the two
branches Of the general assembly, and
if there is to be any great conflict
within that body it will arise with the
several questions that are likely to
come up for solution at this session
Although there may be no great neces.
sity for a large amount of legislation
the usual demands for new laws will
be made and hundreds of bills will
have to be sifted out.
Proposed primary laws will take up
considerable amount of time, as will
insurance legislation Governor Cum
Minis proposes to take up some mat
tiers with reference to railways and
their traffic, and 1t will doubtless re
quire much time to thresh these Out
In the assembly. How much time
these proposed enactments will take
or what will be the result is a matter
of extreme uncertainty inasmuch as

TO PREvENT WRECKS.

With two score lying dead ana the
hospitals of the city of Washington
filled with people who were victims Of
the wreck on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad in the District of Columbia,
it has been brought literally to the
eyes of congress that with all the
Legislation governing railroads, great
loss of life is still possible By other
means that body must know that it is
still comparatively frequent.
The matter having been brought to
their attention in such terrible man
ner the congressman have taken
speedy action to order an investigation
into the block system in use on rail-
roads by the interstate commerce COM
mission. Although it's hands are filed
with the great amount of business
brought on by agitation and the en-
forcement of the new rate law there
of the commission in acceding to the
demands of the congress.
Leg, Siatisn for the peaeflt of the
alnpluy,s OF railways AMI the peop'e
who travel has been placed on the
statute h, oks IN various fo;,s, an I
while Il has hecn a benefit ,ye loss Of
life ION. iilues. The safely a,liiarca
and has doubtless saved the limbs and
lives of many emnicyes. How much
farther congress will be able to go in
protecting the public against accideots
is rather uncertain matter.
AS long as humanity forms portion
of the machine that is to regulate the
traffic and keep trains from trying to
pass on the same track or prevent
them from trying to overtake each
other, there will be accidents on the
rail and accompanying loss of life.
That is as certain as is the fact that
humanity exists. 1t remains to be
seen whether block system can be
perfected that will work automatically
and not fail of operation Just at the
time when it is most essential that it
work perfectly.
Investigations of previous wrecks
has shown that there are weaknesses
| in the systems of operation where
humanity from portion of the ma
chine that may be to a great extent
remedied. 1t was found that men
were exhausted from over work and
lack of sleep. At times of the year
when the traffic is heavy, both train
men and station men are likely tc
be kept on altogether too long withou;
rest and sleep. 1t has beer shown
that the men who we're to blame fol
disasters had been thus engaged. Il
is reasonable to presume that the
wrecks would not have happened il
the employees had been awalse or had
had clear heads.
How far congress can go IN regulat
ing these things may be better told
after report from the interstate com
mission, which will doubtless be 8
comprehensive one.

relates to fusion tickets, and if placed
on the statute books will prevent such
combination as was effected by the
Hearst forces in the last campaign,
wherein the same name headed the
democratic and the independent league
tickets.
To regulate the amount of money
which candidate will be allowed 20
spend to procure an election is de
cidely new departure, but is step
further on the proposition of having
all candidates certify to the amounts
of the funds used. While such law
might work to the welfare of the peo-
pie and the purifying of politics, it
must be conce led that the difficulty
would come in enforcing such an enact
ment.
The movement to empower the
courts to review the acts of political
conventions and state committees in
expelling delegates and members, If
successful. will eliminate to a great
extel.t the unfairness that accompan-
les the seating of contesting delega-
tions. which has been the cause Of
much bitterness in political campaigns.
Much of the present discomfort has
been fomented by the demagogic ut
terances of men who try to gain
ground by telling the people that they
are robbed of their rights in elections
and that their will is not properly re-
gistered Doubtless there are some
abuses, but in tie greatest number of
cases the majority rules. The great
difficulty is in the defeated candidate
setting up a cry that he was robbed
of the nomination or election. So
while the enactment of laws of the ma
ture recommended may not be neces-
sary to assure the rule of the majority,
it would be beneficial In leaving no
room for the cry of the defeated and
disgruntled.

little is known as to what support the
various matters will have.
While a majority of the legislature
doubtless favor primary law, there
is SUCH a wide difference of opinion
as to the character of the law to be
enacted that the result may be fail
ure to pass any, just as was done at
tie last session There has been
comparatively little discussion of the
matter preliminary to the converting
of the assembly, and there has been
no canvass to indicate how many are
favoring the direct primary and how
many prefer the delegate law
So, as serene as are the preliminary
days of the biennial session of the
Legislature, with long drawn out con
tests on the questions at issue the
session may develop into one of con
siderable length

"sTANDPATlsM" IN IOWA.

Keokuk Gate City.-A romancer
writing in the Midwestern Magazine Of
Des Meines pretends to explain why
southern Iowa is SO strongly in favor
of protection to American Industries
to 'standpatism," as he calls it. He
says that Kentuckians and Virginians
first settled Iowa, finding homes in Lee
and Des Moines counties "They did
not go further north than Burlington
on the east, but on the west followed
the Missouri even as far as Sioux
City II is true that many Of the first
settlers of Lee and other counties in
southern Iowa came from Virginia and
Kentucky, but it is equally true that
neither of those states was in favor of
protective tariff Both have invari-
ably voted with the free trade democ-
racy on that issue. If the early set
tiers in Iowa from those states inner
tied any political ideas and transmit
ted them to their descendants the ma
tural presumption is that they were
democratic ideas-just the reverse of
those attributed to them by the writer
in the pes Mofnes magazine. In line
with this suggestion is the fact that
the most perniciously active tariff re-
visionist in this part OF Iowa is Ken
tuckian by descent. If the Gate City
were to hazard guess 1t would say
that the predominant sentiment for
protection in southern Iowa first came
to this section with the early settlers
Ifrom Pennsylvania, New York and
Ohio, where they were brought up in
the nurture and admonition Of the
Lord, supplemented by the teachings Of
Horace Greeley's New York Tribune.
There were other Influences and fac
tors, of course,-the general intelli-
gence of southern Iowa people and
their loyalty to party principles, for in
stance-but Greeley's influence first
gave them bent In the right direction.
Thus Go the good deeds of righteous
proteetaonisr live after him.

as juror. 1t frequently happens that
the people of county have SO gener-
ally read the papers which have print
ed facts tending to show mans guilt
that sentiment becomes strong against
him, and it is then possible to get a
change of venue. In such case it
is sometimes possible to get out of the
territory where the people have be-
come prejudiced against the defend
ant. and in this manner there is little
trouble experienced in selecting a
jury, when If it is tried in the county
where the alleged crime is committed
1T would be necessary to examine hun
dreds of men at great cost.

THE EXCEPTION OF cAssATT.

Kansas City Times.-In the duty
that devolves upon the newspapers to
chronicle something of the history of
A. J. Cassatt, president of the Penn
sylvania Railway company, who died
suddenly this week 1t is distressing to
upset those honored axioms which
and old, by such exemplars as the as
yute Mr.. Rockefeller and by that fru-
gal business man, Uncle Russell Sage.
First of all, Mr. Cassatt accumulated a
fortune of something like 100000 900
without laying the foundation thereof
by saving portion of his salary of so
a week as clerk in country store. In
fact he was born in luxury and an
heir to riches. Then. in life, he did
certain things which the Standard Oil
crowd deprecated with hands figura-
lively raised In mortal horror in a
statement to the public recently issued.
He owned a stable of race horses and
spent million or more to crafty his
love for PAGERS and trotters.
Neither did Mr.. Cassatt gave that
strict attention to business which all
successful business men so religiously
advocate. When he worked all day,
which was by no means every day, his
Office hours were from $3.50 to 8, and
out Of this time he managed to devote
two hours or more to luncheon. He
was not addicted to luncheons of sand
wichcs and apples, but 1t is said that
his sideboard was stocked with the
finest liquors, and most expensive CT
gars, while his table was spread with
the rarest delicacies the market afford
ed. Besides. he often INDUCED in a
cold Plunge in the middle of the day.
Yet Mr.. Cassatt died as rich man
as Uncle Russell Sage and was &c
counted the most astute railroad man
of his day. 1t is difficult, in the study
of the lives Of successful men to lay
down any hard and fast rules Of con-
duct, and once in while 1t is a CRATE
full relief to turn from the i'll disguised
egotism and vanity which your proven
bal self-made man seeks to hide under
clumsy affectation Of transparent
humility of the fine modesty and digni-
fed assurance of person born, as it
were, to the purple,

TO REGULATE ELECTIONS.

OF the recommendations made by
Governor Hughes In his message to
the New York legislature seven were
with reference to elections. Perhaps
New York has had much legislation
tor the purpose of seeing that the will
Of the majority prevailed in the selec.
tion of officers, but states that have
large cities are likely to experience
more or less difficulty. He recon.
mends:
"A recount Of the votes cast for may.
or of New York in the city election in
1905, when on the face of the returns,
Hearst was defeated by McClelland
That the courts be empowered to
order a recount summarily in the fu
ture.
That power to bring action to try
title to office be taken from the at.
,tnrney general and conferred upon the
supreme court.
izs The adoption of new ballot where

~ That the amount of money which a
candidate may expend to procure an
election be limited.
II That the courts be empowered to re
view acts of the state political con
ventions and state committees in ex
pelling delegates and members
That any general committee of q
party may adopt rules for direct nom
lnations of candidates at primaries
The first recommendation relates
not to elections in general, but to
one mayoralty contest, which has been
the cause of so much contention The
governor evidently has a desire te
have the. matter Strengthened out and
either let the public know that the
man who was legally elected was de
frauded out of the chair of the CHIEF
executive, or show that all of the
claims and contention of Mr.. Hearst
are without foundation
The second and third recommends
ton relates to the contesting of cleo
ticns, the purpose evidently being tc
facilitate matters and dispose of the
contest in short order, not letting the
matter drag until the term of the offics
contested has. expired. The fourth re

DELAY IN SECURING JuRIEs.

In Chicago the bar association, in
conjunction with other organizations,
is preparing to get law enacted that
will enable courts to select juries
with less time and less expense All
in getting juries in the cases of felo-
MES, the details of which have been
published and read throughout the
territory from which the jurors are
selected Hundreds of men are sum-
moned, examined and dismissed with
out service because of their being dis
qualified through prejudice or other
circumstances which make them unfit
for jury service. Probably the most
notable cases in the west, if not in the
country, where there has been diff
Guilty in securing juries have been
tried in Chicago. The "Gilhooley''
case. tried in 1905, occupied three
months of the time of the court in Sc
curing jury, the cost being about
l$1S,000. The Shea case, which is now
on trial, is being heard by jury that
was selected from Ais talesmen, the
cost being S24.498
OF course the state is prepared to
courts and officers of the courts for
this reason probably count the cost
least of any officials. 1t is the end
| they seek. However, the Chicago bar
association has prepared bill to be
introduced at the coming session of
| the Illinois legislature that is intend
ed to improve the situation. 1t is pro-
posed that the power of the jury com
mission be extended to the extent
thar it may examine juries as to their
| qualifications previous to summoning
them to the court for examination by
attorneys. Provision is made for
special juries by agreement, the jurors
to be selected by the commission, but
of course, the right Of attorneys to
examine them is not taken away The
right of peremptory challenge is still

THOSE WHO ARE TO BLAME.


Philadelphia Record-In all the
hurly burly about the Presidents ex-
pulsion from the army Of three com
colored, the persons who were really
at the bottom of the whole trouble
have never been named. And those
persons were the old women out of
congress and the old women In con-
gress who brought about the abolition
of the army canteen.
The whole deplorable business at
Brownsville, Tex, grew out of soldiers
going to the rum shops Of the town for
their liquor Under the canteen sys.
tenn soldiers at every army post could
get good quality of beer within the
garrison limits. could get it on credit
against the next pay day, could get
nothing stronger than beer to make
them tipsy And those who drank
drank regularly and modestly and were
satisfied
Without the canteen soldiers cannot
get beer within the garrison, cannot
get beer or any other liquor on credit
and SO the majority Of the privates go
without between pay days. And when
pay day arrives scores of men with
ravening thirst bolt with their months
stipend for the nearest rum shop and
there fill themselves with the strongest
drink they can find,
1t was pay day and the drunk that
followed 1t that brought about the
Brownsville riot. Some of the negro
soldiers are guilty Of murder, others
are guilty of shielding those guilty Of
murder; but the blood of those who
were slain at Brownsville stains mos
deeply the misguided people who abol
ished the army canteen
