sTANDPATTERs AND FUNK.
(Brooklyn Chronicl


1t is probably true that some of the
prominence given just now to the pro-
posed candidacy of Abe Funk for gov
ernor is due to the thought that he is
still a sick man and does not want
the office. Some men who usually
play the political game shrewdly have
believed that it was good politics to
make Funk an excuse for refusing to
support Garst or Carroll. But the
actual nomination is a year from
nowya and Funk, who is not an old man,
is rapidly recovering his health. If
in fact Iowa republicans can unite
in nominating him it ought to be done,
Progressive republicans surely can
not complain, for he has been a leader
among them ever since their move
ment started. and there is no man
living who in greater degree enjoys
their respect and confidence Stand
patters have advanced his name as
that of a man whom they are willing
to support and it is no disparagement
to him that his old fractional enemies
are now the first to mention him. 1t
is only fairness to- them to state that
the good things they say of him are

THE DAY WITH THE CROWD.
(Hampton ChrOnicle)

Every town has it's day two or three
times a year at least, when there is a
crowd on the streets at circus or a
celebration of some sort Many ,of us
can remember when we drove in from
the country in the cool of the morning
before the hot, sun had dried the dew
on the roadside foliage. BY the time
We had walked up and down tht.
strange walks our feet were pinching
from the new shoes, our stomachs re-
belling against the red lemonade and
peanuts were beginning to give us pain.
and our heads began to ache from so
many new sights to be seen at once
Many of the stores have stands erected
out in front and bunting and flags are
strung in decoration The cries of the
vendors startle us. What witty things
they shout without the faintest show
of embarrassment! How eloquent is
the man in front of the side show
tent.
DOWN the street rides the marshal
Respondent in wide red sash He is
authority personified as he tells the
crowd to get back for the approaching
parade. We already hear the blare of
the band as we push for a place to see
among the expectant line of people.
Dinner in the shade with the old folks.
with the younger OF us begrudging the
time taken out for the meal for which
we have no appetite. In that seethiu~

will be nominated with a whoop. From
present indications nothing can defeat
Funk for the gubernatorial nomination
except his refusal to accept the office.
"a man who can serve the public for
a generation or two or less and never
take SO radical a stand on any subject
as to make. an enemy is without doubt
entitled to some appreciation Of his
ability along the lines of policy" de-
clares the Rockford Register. "As to
Just how much that kind of a man has
done for his constituency it is another
matter. The man in any community
who is the greatest force for good is
not generally the one who is so nearly
on the fence that he never makes
enemies"
Noting that the Burlington Hawk
eye. the leading standpat daily newspa-
per of the state, pledges itself to stand
by the decision of the next republican
conventions" the Mason City Times
Herald recalls that is more than it did
by the last one held in Iowa." and sug-
gests pledges of some sort ought to
be Forthcoming from others who are
posing as good republicans, and who
bolted the republican ticket along with
the Hawkeye last year"

speaking. the country school teacher

country for experience and to earn
some money. Most of them quit after
few terms and get married or go into
other work. They intended to do this
when they commenced. Those who re-
main in the profession and become ex-
perienced soon get positions in graded
schools in town at better wages 1t
has been assumed by those working for
higher wages that reasonable in

VIII higher wages keep them from
getting married, going into some other
line OF work, or going to town to
teach? Well, it isn't very liable to do
1T. The only way to keep any Of them
would be to pay higher wages than are
paid in town and keep those in the
country that continue in the work and
usually go to town. Will the farmers
ever pay such wages with half dozen
pupils to a school? Anybody can an
swer such a question Under existing
conditions to hold teachers in the
country it would take from $50 to $50
per month. 1t will not be done.
