Primary viii Decide IL.


In an interview, Governor Cummins
spoke as follows:
For myself, want the republicans
of this state to know that if there
are but two republican candidates for
senator and l do not receive major
1ty of all the republican votes cast
for that office i will not be a candi-
date against my opponent before the
general assembly; nor will | permit
my name to be used in that connec-
ton; on the contrary, will, under
those circumstances, give to my oppo-
pent the same loyal support that /
shall expect him to give me if | do
receive a majority of the votes. If
there shall be three candidates or
more, will observe in the same spirit
the purpose and intent of the law"
Senator Allison, in response to this
statement, gave out the following
statement to the press:
IF majority of the republicans of
Iowa shall express their preference
for another at the election to be held
next June under the primary law, l
will in absolute good faith cheerfully
accept their decision and withdraw
my name from further consideration
as candidate. l need not add that
under such circumstances I will do
whatever l can to Loyalty carry out
the spirit and purpose of the primary
law. If more than two candidates
come before the primaries l shall
feel the same obligation to abide by
the decision under the provisions of
the law. This view l have uniformly
expressed when speaking of the SUBJ
ject.''

COINED A BIG WORD.
Little Ono Wanted to Pick the "Un.
derchildrenable" Flowers.

When the first little granddaughter
was big enough to want to pick the
garden flowers, the grandparents tried
every guileful means to save their pet
posies from devastation. A truce was
reached when it was agreed that Har-
riet should let the garden plants alone
and pick only "children's flowers" a
descriptive name bestowed at once
alike on dandelions, buttercups,
daisies and clovers. After this there
was peace In the family. One day
Katherine, the newest granddaughter,
was contentedly pulling grasses while
grandmother shipped of blossoms
from the forget-me-nots. Katherine
remembered that fresh flowers had
not been gathered for the dinner Ia
BILE. She ran over to grandmother and
promptly coined one of the longest
words four-year-old ever used.
"Grandmother," she begged, "can't I
pick the underchildrenable flowers
for dinner?"

whole the most valuable asset in our
national life. There can be just as
real progress and culture in the coun-
try as in the city; especially in these
days of rural free delivery, trolleys,
bicycles, telephones, good roads and
school improvements. The valley of
the Mississippi is politically and COM
mercially more important than any
other valley on the face of the globe.
Here more than anywhere else will
be determined the future of the Uni
ted States and indeed of the whole
western world; and the type of civil
ization reached in this mighty valley,
in this vast stretch of country lying
between the Alleghenies and the
Rockies, the great lakes and the gulf,
will largely fix the type of civilization
for the whole western hemisphere
Already, as our history shows, the
west has determined our national po-
litical development, and the funda-
mental principle of present Ameri-
can politics, political equality, was
originally western idea.
Transportation Demands.
The wonderful variety of resources
in different portions of the valley
make the demand for transportation
altogether exceptional Coal, lumber,
corn, wheat, cotton, cattle-on the sur
face of the soil and beneath the soil
the riches are great. There are al
ready evident strong tendencies to in
crease the carrying of freight from
the northern part of the valley to the
gulf. Throughout the valley the land
is so fertile as to make the field for
the farmer peculiarly attractive; and
where in the west the climate be-
comes dryer we enter upon the ranch
ing country; while in addition to the
products of the soil there are also the
manufactures supplied in innumerable
manufacturing centers, great and
small. Cities of astonishing growth
are found everywhere from the gulf
to the great lakes, from the ALE.
ghenies to the Rockies; most of them
being situated on the great river
which flows by your doors or upon
some of it's numerous navigable tribu
taries. New mineral fields are dis
covered every year; and the constant
ly increasing use of all the devices OF
intensive cultivation steadily adds tc
thei productive power of the farms

the waters, but also of the soll. the
forests, the mines. and all the other
natural resources Of our country.
Many of these resources which wa
, have been in the habit of calling mex.
haustible are being rapidly exhausted,
or in certain regions have actually dis.
appeared. Coal mines, oil and gas
| fields, and iron mines in important
numbers are already worked out. The
coal and oil measures which remain
are passing rapidly, or have actually
| passed, into the possession of great
| corporations, who acquire ominous
power through an unchecked control
of these prime necessities of modern
life; a. control without supervision of
any kind. We are consuming our for
ests three times faster than they are
being reproduced. Some of the rich
est timber lands of this continent
have already been destroyed, and not
replaced, and other vast areas are on
the verge of destruction. Yet forests,
unlike mines, can be so handled as
to yield the best results of use, with
out exhaustion, just like grain fields.
Conserve Public Lands.
Our public lands, whose highest use
is to supply homes for our people,
have been and are still being taken
in great quantities by large private
owners, to whom home-making is at
the very best but secondary motive
subordinate to the desire for profit.
To allow the public lands to be
worked by the tenants of rich men for
the profit of the-landlords, instead Of
by freeholders for the livelihood of
their wives and children, Is little less
than a crime against our people and
our institutions. The great central
fact of the public land situation, as
the public lands commission well said,
is that the amount of public land pat
ented by the government to individu-
ais is increasing out of all proportion
to the number of new homes. 1t is
clear beyond peradventure that our
natural resources have been and are
still being abused, that continued
abuse will destroy them, and that we
have at last reached the forks of the
road. We are face to face with the
great fact that the whole future of the
nation is directly at stake in the mo-
mentous decision which is forced upon
us. Shall we continue the waste and
destruction of our natural resources,
or shall we conserve them? There
is no other question of equal gravity
now before the nation.
1t is the plain duty of those who
for the moment are responsible to
make inventory of the natural re-
sources which have been handed down
to us, to forecast as we'll as we may
the needs of the future, and so to
handle the great resources of our
prosperity as not to destroy in adj
vance all hope for the prosperity Of
our descendants.

Miner Is New Knoxville Head.
DR.. III. s. Miner of Fort Dodge has
been appointed superintendent of the
detention hospital for inebriates at
Knoxville, to succeed DR.. w. S. Os-
born, resigned Or. Miner was one OF
about fifteen applicants.
He will assume charge of the in
stitution about Nov. l. DR.. Osborn
will take up the practice of medicine
in Colorado. His wife has consump-
ton and he has found it necessary to
remove to that state in the hope of
lettering her condition.
DR.. Miner is a homeopathic physi-
can being the first member of this
school, it is understood to be given a
state institution superintendency.
Several years ago an unsuccessful eff
fort was made to pass law which
would require the election of a
homeopath to the superintendency OF
a state institution.
DR. Miner is graduate of the
Hahnemann Medical college of Chi
cago. He is about so yeras of aga
and has been in the practice OF med,-
cine for more than twenty years.
He has had experience in the treat
ment Of inebriates and dipsomaniacs
in institutional work in the state OF
Nebraska. Since then ne has mada
special study of the subject and ne
goes into the Knoxville institution es-
pecially well equipped for the work.
Whether he will adopt the new
policy of administering cures OF the
ratent medicine variety remains to bc
disclosed by his administration. Tie
objection of physicians to the so
called cures is not on account of the
fact that they are drugs, but because
the formula is not known to the world
and the medical profession.

PRESIDENT URGES WATERWAY
Sees Great Good in CanaEzation of
Rivers of Mississippi VaIley--Hopes
Agricultural Interests May Remain
Predominant in the Central States.

Memphis, Tenn.-President Roose-
welt spoke to vast and enthusiastic
audience on the subject of lakes to
gulf waterway, an audience CON-
posed of delegates to the convention
representing every state in the Missis-
sippi valley, of representative bust
ness men, public officials, including
the governors of more than 20 states,
and thousands of citizens of Memphis
and the south. He said in part:
The Mississippi valley is a magnifi-
cent empire in size and fertility. 1t
is better adapted to the development
of inland navigation than any other
valley in either hemisphere; for there
are 1900 miles of waterway now
more or less fully navigable, and the
conditions are so favorable that it
will be easy to increase the extent of
navigable waterways to almost any
required degree by canaiization. Early
in our industrial history this valley
was the seat of the largest develop
ment of inland navigation in the Uni
a, ted States, and Perhaps you will par
don my mentioning that the first
steamboat west of the Alleghenies was
built by Roosevelt, my great-grand-
Orleans trade, and in that year made
the trip from Pittsburg to New Or
leans. But from various causes river
and canal transportation declined all
over the United States as the railroad
systems came to their full develop
ment. 1t is our business to see that
the decline is not permanent; and it
is of interest to remember that nearly
century ago President Madison adj
vocated the canalization of the Mis-
sissippi
The Mississippi Valley.
In wealth of natural resources no
kingdom of Europe can compare with
the Mississippi valley and the region
around the great lakes, taken to-

fertile plain already surpasses all save
one or two of the largest European
kingdoms. In this empire a peculiar
ly stalwart and masterful people finds
itself in the surroundings best fitted
for the full development of it's powers
and faculties. There has been a great
growth in the valley of manufacturing
centers; the movement is good if ii
does not go too far; but | most earn.
