wrong and who is right. The letter
was written to one Torbert Of Dubuque
in reply to a request for u written and
signed statement by the governor that
he would not oppose Senator Allison
in 1909. While the letter might de-
ceive someone, 1t Is safe to say that
every politician who read it knew in
stantly that the governor at least con-
templated at some future time to sue
coed Senator Allison. Anyone study
ing the letter will note that 1t is care
full to not state that the governor never
will be a candidate. Beyond the
statement that he is not candi-
date, 1t is silent. 1t pledged no sup
port to Senator Allison as Senator
Dolliver declared, and it In no way
touched the future. To get at the real
meat in the nut one has but to re-
member the manner in which Governor
Cummins answered the question If he
would be a candidate against Senator
Dolliver In this answer there was
no quibbling. The governor straight
and squarely declared his intentions
to support Senator Dolliver. and has
kept his word. In fact, 1t is we'll
known that he could have defeated
Senator Dolliver at his last election
he'd he seen fit but refused to do SO.
And in proof that the politicians knew
that Governor Cummins intended to be
candidate. II is only necessary to
remember how Senator Dolliver came
out with his famous letter in Opposi-
ton to Cummins. how the Shaws.
Delivers and all the others rallied to
the support Of the anti-Cummins peo-
pie. If this letter so deceived, be-
guiled and befuddled the brains Of the
standpat crowd, why did they not
lie down and be good? After reading
it last year they were still more vigor-
GUS in their opposition to Cummins.
but this year our junior senator is
ready to faint when he finds that the
letter does no4 bind the governor for
all time to come, when it plainly spoke
only Of the time that was. The
letter failed to prove Senator Delivers
utterance, and pledged nothing for the
future. 1t spoke only of the time at
which 1t was written, and anyone with
a grain Of sense knows that man
cannot be candidate for two offices
at one time The reference to candi-
dacy for the presidency alone was
enough, for it was and is known gen
orally that at some future time IL the
indications are right, Governor Cum
Minis would like to make presidential
race. This alone should have and un-
doubtedly did tell it's readers that
Governor Cummins would be in the

The IEsI oE CLEANLINESS.

BY means of map college In an
Iowa city calls attention to It's asser-
ton that the portion of the city where
it is situated is without saloons. a
population of 25o0O as designated on
the map, is free OF low resorts and
drinking places. This is advanced as
an argument in favor of the college
location. of the city in which 1t Is To-
Gated and the citizens who are the
city. Naturally, 1t Is to be inferred
that this is a good place to send the
boy to school. And as far as the argu-
ment goes it is worth notice and at
tention.
The situation could probably be
duplicated in every city of any size. 1t
is question whether clean district
in a vile city is highly commendatory
of the city as a whole. A city is no
cleaner than any spot of it that may
be reached readily by payment of a
nickle car fare. Simply because some
of us pick out district to live In and
fight for the cleanliness of our own
immediate vicinity is not prilna facie
evidence of high motives and clean
hands. The man who owns the worst
dive in town, may choose to live and
rear his family in this favored and
protected spot, and the money that
enables him to do it may reek of the
purlieus.
Cities, citizenship and safety are
scarcely to be marked off on a map OF
the cleaner residence districts 1t
isn't a fair showing. Most men build
their home nests in clean places.
The front lawn is not sure evidence
of high or low citizenship. Perhaps
some Of the citizens that make up the
classic and aristocratic localities
spread on the maps are collecting the
rents in the wages Of unnamable
shame from downtown dives If there
is not saloon in the district, how
many residents of Spotlesstown profit
from them, directly and indirectly?
Who owns the building? Who mulcts
the saloonist $25 month or more for
"consent?" This is the test of citizen
ship, the measure Of cleanliness. Is the
man who profits by panderers better
than the pander? Why?
Citizenship is not a thing to be
bounded by certain streets. Civic
cleanliness is not of locality. No city
is cleaner than its vilest place, no citi-
zen stronger than his weakness. A
cancer covered with a carnation Is q
deadly cancer still.
