CUMMINS AND SHAW IN IOWA.
minneapolis JournaD

minneapolis JournaD
Iowa politicians are somewhat stirred
over the report that a deal has been
fixed up for peace between Leslie NJ.
Shaw and Governor Cun1mins whereby
Shaw is to have the support of Cum
minis for president and Cummins is to
get the assistance of Shaw in smooth
ing his path to the senate.
No one supposed that former Secre-
tary Shaw had enough influence IN
Iowa politics at this time to make 1t
worth while ito trade with him. But
If it is true it must be entirely per-
sonal deal, for there is no showing that
Shaw has recanted his extreme tariff
views and there is a lack of evidence
that Cummins has gone over to the
standpatters. The union Of Cumn1ins
and Shaw forces in Iowa seems a most
impracticable thing if there is anything
in politics beyond the landing OF GER
tain men in office. They are at log-
eerheads over matters of party policy.
The one wants the tariff revised down
ward. - The other wants is revised up
ward If at all. If the tariff is to be
the issue in the next presidential cam
paisn and If Governor Cummins IS
heading for the senate as revlsof'
how can he support for president
man who. if elected. would not recon-
mend tariff revision to congress nor
sign a tariff bill which made lnroaas
unon the Dingley schedules!'

THE BANKRUPTCY LAW.


The bankers of Iowa in convention
last Wednesday adopted a resolution
in favor of repeal of the bankruptcy
law. The bankers generally We're
against this legislation before it was
enacted and they have never been
|reconciled. Formerly they would make
a loan to the business man in d
tight place on the assurance that if
he should find himself unable to pull
thru he would give the bank a
preference. The law forbids prefer
ences within four months preceding
the application to the bankruptcy
court and the bankers have been COM
PEELED to resort to other methods OF
securing their claims. They would
prefer the old methods.
The outlook for repeal of the bank
ruptcy law is not bright. Merchant
creditors on becoming familiar with
their rights under it have felt less
opposition to the law. Originally they
had in mind the dishonest debtor who
would resort to the bankruptcy
court to discharge his Obligations.
Now they know that such creditor
can be Intercepted and pursued un-
der the bankruptcy law as he could
not be under the state law and that,
except thru the neglect of the credi-
tors, the bankruptcy court cannot be
used to secure discharges for debtors
unable to account satisfactorily for
the disappearance of their stocks and
funds. Sometimes threat to throw
the debtor into bankruptcy or to resist
his application for discharge, brings
him to time. There are these who
schedule larger liabilities and slender
assets but such liabilities usually con-
sist of accounts charged off by the
creditor years ago and if he gets ten
cents on the dollar in the bankruptcy
court it is so much gained.

THE LESSON OF THE FIREMAN
ISinny Cftu Trih11ns.l

(Sioux City Tribune,)
Sioux City welcomes the men Of the
fire departments who are with us in
their annual tournament The crowds
that thronged the sidewalks yesterday
test the interest taken in them. This
interest sources not alone in The pleas
ure of seeing the fine display made Of
men, horses and fire-fghting appli-
ances, fine as all these are, but, we
like to think, In the character of the
men and of their especial service to
their fellows, for these men, in their
spirit and in their work, give us fine
example of good citizenship, which, il
it could become general, would give US
better public and private relations.
For the spirit of the fireman is the
incarnation of duty. Fire that destroys
property is the public enemy, to meet
and fight it and defeat it at whatever
hazard, is the daily and hourly duly
of firemen. In performance he subor-
dinates himself, loses himself in hi,
work, forgets himself in his purpose.
He is alert to spring to his post at the
call. He does not stop to count the
even the possible risk of life or limb.
1t is his duty to endure, to put body
and even life itself in jeopardy if duty
so requires. And he is ever faithful
to duty.
This is what we mean by saying that
the fireman is fine type of citizen
ship. What he does in his sphere every
citizen holding public service should do
in his. AS the fireman takes no thought
of his personal advantage CIR profit but
cares only to discharge his duty wall,
so should the man who serves his pub
lie in other lines of civic work. AS the
firemen who are here take just pride in
showing how capably they can do their
especial work so might their fellows
in other lines of public service also
emulate each other in displays of capa-
city for doing we'll their duties.
This. we think, is the larger lesson
these men of the fire brigades can teach
their fellow workers in the public serv-

MANAGERS ALONE RESPONSIBLE

! (WdleFlOO SOullcl.I
1t has been the craze Of managers
of railways for dividends that, more
than anything else, has led to the
present embarrassment of the roads
in the matter Of transportational facil-
tiles Dividends were necessary to
open the way to stock jobbing schemes
by which the managers, and others on
the inside, have lined their pockets
with gold at the expense of the i'm
vesting public. In other words, the
roads have been used to build up
private fortunes instead of to serve the
interest of stockholders and the public
If the managers of many companies
had been content to pass or reduce
dividends and operate their lines upon
a strictly honest basis they could have
provided many for the betterments
which they must have foreseen would
be required, and could thus have had
the roads in position to increase
their earnings at the present time
when the business boom is at its
zenith. There is nothing in the cry
that the embarrassmenps which the
roads are now suffering from are due
to hostile legislation or to any pre-
judice upon the part of the people
against them. Their troubles were
made by their managers and it will
be idle to hold out any other view for
the public's consideration.

NO OCCASION FOR CRITICISM.
(Rrooklyn Chronicle1

The editors who are criticizing the
school courses in neighboring towns
do not all seem to understand the ac-
tual educational situation in Iowa. Not
many years ago the town high schools
had no connection with the colleges,
and young people who expected to at
tend college usually left the high
school and attended a preparatory
school or academy where they could
study Greek and Latin and begin other
college studies. At the present time
nearly all our high schools prepare
their graduates for college, and the
academies for the most part are out
Of business. In Iowa at the present
time many thousands of young people
in the high schools are taking what is
really college preparatory course, al
tho they have no thought of entering
college. So gradually and quietly has
the change been made that few seem
to understand Its Importance.
