the THINGS THAT ARE TRUE.

Uncle George d. Perkins claims the
rights AMI privileges of personal lib
erty. Replying to suggestion by the
Mail and Times to the effect that the
Eleventh district will probably trouble
him In tile senatorial matter. Uncle
George tartly replies that whatever the
district rnay do his newspaper viii
keep on advocating those things II
believes 10 be true, and thus maintain
poyernme MT over itself, do what Is be-
coming and the thing best calculated
to the redemption OF mankind and the
saving OF the country" :.
1t is then most confusing to the
intelligent readers of the Journal along
with this confession of high ideals and
plain righteousness to read the jour
nails Statement that the Cummins vote
of last y ear was saloon and WHISKY
vote, supplemented by the franchises
of the sporting" element. 1t is quite
as confusing to read in the midst OF
all this Acknowledgment of purity OF
motive the program for defeating the
object of primary law and the plan
for pirating senatorial office from
majority republican candidate to Of
fer it to democrat. Mr.. Perkins
paper has been Or months busy in an
effort to, find a loophole in the primary
law that might make trouble for CUM
Minis CT late it has been prolific OF
suggestion that is calculated to fur
Their EN- oroil the republicans of the
state and gain by the culture of preju-
dice not friends for itself, but enemies,
if possible, for another.
Here is puzzling political confusion.
Is it possible that the Journal has
been deceived and believes itself
standing for the things that are true
when it calmly and with apparent con-
viction sets off the Cummins vote OF
last year into the saloon and sporting
column? Possibly. But when COM
munities recall the contest and the
men who led the Cummins movement
in the home precincts they know that
the statement is false and are not I'M
likely to surmise under the circum-
stances that the untruth is deliberate.
1t is comforting, If not entirely clear,
then. te, know that the Journals in
tent and high purpose is to stand to
"the things that are true" and that the
apparent inconsistency is of ignorance
or misrepresentation.
So a,so the inconsistency between
national republicanism and that po-
litical and partisan spirit that looks
forward to even the possibility of a
democratic senator from iowa with a
cat and canary expression of self-sat-
isfaction.
If the Journal purposes to keep on
advocating and telling the things that
are true" why doesn't it begin?

We were very much impressed this

ty fair associations all over the state.

ground by the associations catering to
the lower natures of the community.

RESULTS SHOULD COUNT.
mt. Vernon Record.

7 C.. vernon TASSOiQ.
When it comes to hard headed busi-
ness, such as advertising, the firms
spending the big amounts of money
look for results. They may like the
looks -of a paper, and all that, but II
some other paper gives better results
it gets the business.
The same principle that moves the
business world should move the peo-
pie of Iowa, in her selection OF SEN
ator If Senator Allison has done
more good than Governor Cummins IN
the same period of time, and there is
any probability that he can hold up
that record In the future, he should be
returned. But IL Governor Cummins
has given Iowa more good legislation
during his term of office than Senator
Allison has benefited her in the same
length of Office, he should be the next
senator. That is. the situation in nut
shell. Sentiment should count for
nothing, for no man has gone into
either the governors office, or the SEN
ate from Iowa who did not want to.
No man has been forced by the peo-
pie of Iowa to either of these positions,
and we do not believe any man has
been elected to either of these posi-
tions who was not mighty glad to get
the election. They have received their
reward, both in money and in honor.
as they went along. If the money pay
ment was small, they figure that the
honor counterbalanced or they would
not have taken the offices.
q This is the position we believe, that
the voters of Iowa will take.

THIEVES THAT COME IN the NIGHT.

Some sympathy Of lefthanded sort
has come to chicken thieves by reason
of the escape of men who have been
guilty Of larger thefts. While a chick
en- thief gets three years in the peni-
tentiar:S for breaking into hen house
there have been instances where men
who broke up banks and their deposit
ors have been tenderly dealt sentence
of few months. or have entirely es-
capped. Comparing the chicken thief
to the bank wrecker, the petty thief
appears to get the worst of it,"
1t is not that the chicken thief gets
too much. The other thief doesn't get
his deserts. Thieves that come in the
night are of dangerous class. They
come prepared for violence and MIR
der if necessary to their own safety.
A case that illustrates the dangerous
quality of chicken thieves and indi-
Gates that the law is not abnormally
severe when it sends them to the pen

Hoo Cholera.

Hog cholera Is more prevalent when
corn is cheap. 1t is also very trouble
some during certain seasons when corn
docs not ripen well. This does not
mean that hog cholera is caused by
feeding corn. but il points to the pos
sibility of unfavorable conditions in
duced by too liberal feeding OF corn.
II indicates that the abuse of this
plendid hog feed may be responsible
for conditions that encourage destruc-
ton by the disease known as hog mans
worst enemy. Wallace Farmer has a
very strong hog cholera article, from
which the following is an extract:
1.-THE cause of cholera and swine
fever are the germs which always ac-
company these diseases, and which can
easily spread from farm to farm In
various ways. One of the most com
mon methods is thru visitors. When
cholera is in your neighborhood. don't
let anybody into your hog yard, not
even your mother-in- law, or your
wifes relations, or your own. Tell them
to keep out. While the cause is a
germ, the occasion of 1t or the condi-
tions which make 1t peculiarly virulent
are the methods of breeding and feed
ing adopted by the majority of farm
ers. There Is vast amount of in
breeding in the hog yards of the west.
Many a. farmer, when buying breeding
stock will be surprised on extending
the pedigree to five generations to see
how often they run back to some fam
Gus sire. This, while not strictly called
inbreeding, is such close line breeding
that it practically amounts to the same
thing, and the result is lower vitality
and Increased susceptibility to any dis
case that will come along. The prac-
tice of feeding corn or even grain ex-
clusively, an unbalanced ration, tends
still further to lower the vitality OF
the swine stock of the country and
renders it peculiarly incapable of re-
sisting diseases. Hence, 1t is not alto
gether misfortune to the country at
large, however 1t may be to the indi-
vidual when disease like hog cholera
goes thru, wipes out the weaklings,
and gives is more vigorous stock to
start with anew"
No person with herd of hogs is safe
when hog cholera is in the nefghbor-
hood, but the men who have thrifty
hogs running in good pasture worry
less than the other fellows, and with
reason. The time will come when far
mers will realize the necessity of keep
ing hogs clean, feeding them clean
and proper feed in a clean place.
