Sir Charles Wyndham, during his
American tour, said at a dinner in
New York:
TOO many of us resemble the boy
at the wheel.
This boy stood on the bridge of a
schooner beside the captain, on a star
ry night. 1t suddenly became neces-
sary for the captain to go below, ana
he said to the boy:
".Here, take the wheel. I'll be back
in a few minutes. Steer by that star
and you will be all right.
"The boy began to steer the boat
and soon he got it out Of it's course.
The star now appeared astern instead
of ahead. He shouted down to the
captain:
"'Hi, skipper, come up and find us
another star. I've passed that one.

abe Funk would be candidate
for governor, if he dared to stand out
against the "coterie' which is running
the end of the republican party with
which. he has been, to some extent,
affiliated in the past. He is wavering
between obeying the orders of a
"coterie" and doing as he pleases.
1t is difficult to believe this view of
the Cedar Rapids Republican is at al!
serious The Republican has for
months been insistent in it's demands
for harmony between republican fac
tions. Is harmony to be promoted by
any candidate that would fit it's own
specifications? Any man, standpatter
or progressive, who would agree to
stand against the men, the principles,
the policies he supported last year
would be too contemplate to hold the
humblest office within the gift of the
people He would at once be denounc-
ed as a demagogue who had permitted
his ambition to submerge his man
hood in the hope of the rewards of
office. Any man fit to be nominated
by Iowa republicans should be first of
all a man-not trucker not time
server, but a man. He should appeal
to the manhood Of all republicans for
support on the basis of confidence in
his moral integrity, and the promise
not of the lips but of character, that
he will If nominated and elected be
