THE PRIMARY LAW.

The very fact that tue Legislature sa"
fit to regulate by law the nomination OF
candidates for Office by political parties
Bgui6e, the importance Of the primary
election. Heretofore it has been the
habit Of numerous well.ineaning citizens
t,ieave TO the politician" the nom'-
nations OF candidates, but TO 60 to the
polls at the regular election and vote.
For that reason the "poli,icians" exer.
eised q power far out OF proportion to
their numbers. To dictate who shall
run for Off ce in party Is going grea,
way toward debating who ehal hold Of.
fee. 1t has happened in this country
that the same ,se,tish interests dictated
nominations ia bo,hsparties. In such a
case it Is quite clear that The power to
nominate is also the power to elect. Ii
every well-Deaning citizen in tie city,
county or state gees 10 the polls at the
regular election, he cannot undo what
las been done at nominating conventions
controlled by few men for selfish pur-
poses.
Cleaner municipal government is the
dominant thought OF today. The gov
eminent Of municipalities, it 10 generally
recognized, has not been up to the
standard of the::government Of the states
and OF the United States. For years We
gave too little attention 10 the cities.
Meanwhile city officials were wasting
taxes and assessments in extravaganza
or corruption. Finally We came to re-
alize that there were great wrongs in
cities to be righted. All over the land
the movement in cities is against cor
ruption and incompetency and for eff.
cheney and uprightness.-Iac Ledger.

Ottumwa. Dec. 16.-An evening spent
in sincere endeavor to remove all SEM
blances of dissension caused by Evan
gelist Billy Sundays stay here, and
to restore perfect peace and harmony
among all Ottumwans, marked the
famous base ball players triumphant
farewell night in this city. 1t was a
service devoted to confessions, apollo
gies and explanations. Honest efforts
We're made to straighten out any mis-
understandings which may have arisen
as a consequence of diverting opin-
ions regarding the evangelist's WORK
and to smooth the wrinkles in the city
caused by the well-meant, but hasty
methods employed by those for and
against Mr.. Sunday.
Messrs. T. D. Foster, Samuel Ma
A. Sunday all took prominent part in
the preliminary addresses Of the even
ing, in their endeavors to be fair and
just. The apologies We're made direct
ly to the twelve signers of the letter
and petition issued Friday. suggesting
that Mr.. Sunday give all but $1,000
of his free-will offering to the poor Of
the city. Both Mr. Foster and Mr.. Ma
hon stated freely that their reply
signed by themselves and others
prominent in the city's business life,
was written hastily and signed hur-
riedly. They retracted the main OBJ
iectionable clauses in the letter and
apologized for the utterances. Major
Mahon spoke strongly for harmony
among Ottumwa business men. He
.,welt at length upon the real good
s,lt had been accomplished in the
,,ity thru Mr.. Sundays efforts AMI
urged that no hard feelings should re-
main after the evangelist had left the
city. Mr. Fosters statement follows:
II desire to apologize to this audi
ence for using the word dishonest in
my remarks last Friday night in con-
nection with the letter signed by twelve
citizens. After talking the matter over
with some of them and hearing their
explanation believe they were honest
in their convictions in signing the let
ter. I can not help but feel that they
made a mistake and doubt very much
if they would sign the same letter at
:his time. 1t is also MY opinion that
the request made of Mr.. Sunday to
turn over to the charities of our city
all the donations made him over $1,000
was neither business nor fair pro-
position
With the free will offering to Evan
gelist Sunday and the amount collected
for expenses incident to the building OF
the tabernacle etc. the big revival has
cost Ottumwa nearly $4,000. Several
OF the pledges have not been paid and
the committee in charge is anxious for
those who have not taken UP their sub
script:cns t.: dc so at once The num-
Der Of converts total $3.50.

Snecial to sARepublican.
Washington, Ia, Dec. 16-Farmers
and feeders turnout the entire state are
much interested in the case to be re-
opened by the Corn Belt Meat Pro-
ducers' association. Clifford Thorne,
the attorney for the association, who
has just returned from the annual
meeting of the meat producers, makes
resentative, of interest to all who have
been following the proceedings In the
fight begun over year ago:
There were two things asked for
in our original petition-a reduction
in the rates on livestock from Iowa
points to Chicago, and fattening in
transit rates to Chicago.
The interstate commerce commits
sion, in their decision, ordered the
railroads to give us fattening in trans
it rates, and announced their opinion
that the rates to Chicago from Iowa
PullilS lICl = lIldll lllS VI SGNSHSS INV e
miles east Of the Missouri river, should
be regrouped. The commission retained
the case until that was done. with the
privilege reserved to the petitioner of
re- opening the case if the railroads
failed within reasonable time to
properly revise the Iowa Chicago
rates. We believe sufficient time has
now elapsed. The railway companies
have failed to re-group the Iowa Chi
cago rates. That is why we are asking
the commission to reopen the case.
We hope to secure a specific order
from the commission, definitely fixing
the Iowa hicago rates.
The SO lines of railway extending
into ran@c territory, have complied
with the orders of the commission as to
ca;tening in transit rates. Today the
Iowa shipper can go to the western
and southern ranges, buy his stock,
ship them to his Iowa farm, fatten them
for six months or year, and then send
the cattle or sheep on to Chicago by
the payment of the thru rate plus Z
or 10 cents per 100 pounds. This means
a saving turnout the state of Iowa of
from $40 to $40 on every car of cattle
~ y
very few shippers have learned that
they can do this, and do not under
stand how to get the rate. Iowa is the
only state east of the Missouri which
has fattening in transit rates. This Is
the first time Iowa has ever had fat
tening in transit rates on cattle
THE feeding in transit rates have
not been applied by the railway COM
panies to Joint shipments over two or
more lines. We hope to see them adopt
such regulations, or else to secure an
order from the commission specifically
directing them to do so.
"A third item covered in our petition,
is that sheep in double deck cars be
given the same rate as cattle. Such
rule is widely followed in other parts
of the country, but has never been ap-
piled to Iowa traffic"
