Iowa's Next Senator to be Chosen at the
Primaries Next Year,

According to newspaper report,
both Senator Allison and Governor
Cummins have expressed their will
ingness to abide by the vote cast by
republicans at the primaries next
year. It would be exceedingly i'm
polite for any candidate to take
different position. The people of
Iowa, after due consideration, enact
ed a primary law, which gives the
members Of the several political par
ties the privilege Of expressing
their preference for senatorial can
didates. While this primary vote
is not binding in law upon the
members Of the legislature, no self
respecting man would care for an
election.if majority of the mem bers
of his party voted against him at
the primaries.

Cato Sells in Love With Texas.

Hon. Cato Sells is back at his old
home for few days. In an inter-
view published in the Cedar Rapids
Gazette. he said many good things
for his adopted state, from which
we select the following:
Texas is not only incomparably
the largest state in the union, but
it produces more Of almost every
thing than any other state. Its ag-
ricultural, commercial and indus
trial development is quite as re-
markable as the fact that it is as far
from Texaline, Texas, to Browns
vile, Texas, as it is from Texaline
to St. Paul, Minnesota.
Texas produces one-fourth Of the
worlds cotton. 1t has more corn
lands than Iowa. 1t has more wheat
lands than both Dakotas. More fruit
lands than California. More timber
than Michigan. More rice land than
all other states combined. More
marble. and granite than Vermont
and New Hampshire. More oil than
Pennsylvania. More iron than Ala
bama. More than 10000 square
miles of coal fields. More cattle and
more mules than any other state
More railroad mileage than any
other state. Has packing houses
that rival Chicago and will soon
raise enough htrs TO operate them
to their full capacity. 1t can fur
nish the raw material and give
better returns for capital invested
in cotton mills than any other state
There are more Improvements in
process Of construction and greater
demand for building material than
any other state There is greater
demand for labor, both skilled and
unskilled, and at better prices than
any other state"

. Boise, Ida. Sept. 3O.-The second
week of the trial of United States Sen,
ator Borah, charged with completely
in the Idaho land frauds, began this
morning with the government attor-
neys still confronted by the task of
connecting the defendant on trial in
some criminal way with the alleged
unlawful combination. During the first
six days of the trial the name of Sen
ator Borah was seldom heard. 1t
seems to be the policy of the defensee
to admit for the purpose of Senator
Borah's case that conspiracy did ex-
list, but to contend that Senator Borah
knew nothing of its existence and that
he acted in good faith as attorney.
Senator Borah's attitude in the court
room almost borders upon indifference
to the testimony.
The special grand jury in session
here has decided to make inquiries in
to rumors that the Western Federation
of Miners had something to do with
the indictment of Senator Borah. One

Electric Waves.

The. Hague Conference has &C
complished but little for the future
peace Of the world, but the scien
lists who are experimenting with
electric waves may solve the problem,
or at least revoutionize all present
day, man killing methods.
The scientific inventor has made
the wireless telegraph a practical
success, and the wireless telephone
is already an accomplished fact. If
electric waves can be loaded with
written messages, or even the hu-
man voice, and sent far and wide
through the earth and the air and
the sea, without wire or other pom
derable substance to guide them,
may net these same waves be intensi-
fed and 80 used as to explode gun
powder and all similar preparations
within radius of hundreds or pos
sibly thousands of miles? In a few
days wireless telegraph company
promises to send messages across
the Atlantic Ocean for ten cents per
word. Distance seems to make
little with the electric wave.
If in the near future small APP
paratus should possess the power to
explode every shell in every battle
ship and all the ammunition in ev-
cry arsenal, and blow up every fac.
tory engaged in the manufacture Of
such articles, what then?
