These are merely a few thoughts in
passing. In the meantime peace is as
sured in Iowa republicanism by the
acceptance of the result of the pri-
mary Mr. Cummins staked all on the
outcome, fully minded to abide by the
result, even if that result had been
against him. He is entitled to the ben
eft Of that spirit. He will be elected
by the Legislature and he will enter
upon his services as senator, an of
flee that he has longed for and worked
for. In his Impotence he could not
spare even the old age and the hon
ors Of the late Senator Allison. which
was regretted by many Of his best
friends. But he has arrived" at last
and he has an opportunity to serve
his state and his nation and to help
heal the wounds that have been in
flicted on the party. For ourselves we
accept the result with good spirit and
In all sincerity and we hope that Mr..
Cummins may be able to make a ca
reer for himself in the senate. The
victory Is his. He has won it and he
has won 1t against opposition which
has been active and meritorious. 1t is
now for the republicans as a whole to
wish him well, and it is for him to
justify the majority in the choice that
they have made for the party.

THAT POSTAL DEFICIT.

The postal def1eit is large, the largest
in the history of the postal depart
ment. 1t amounts to nearly seventeen
millions, a vast sum of money, and

parcels post.
railroads do not appear to have been
given the consideration for which they
seem to call Rural mail delivery is
charged with the deficit. The mail
trains devoted more especially and at
immense cost to the rapid distribution
Of the influential daily newspapers Of
the great cities are not mentioned tho
they are an expensive part of the pos
tai outlay and much less necessary
than the proprietors and publishers
would be willing to admit. There are
no cbstly trains run in Iowa for the
benefit Of Iowa newspapers, but Iowa
newspapers supply nine newspaper
readers out Of ten with their resume
of the days news.
The complaint against rural mail de-
livery is unjust as the alleged necessity
of a parcels post to cover the deficit.
The parcels post insistence is open to
the suspicion that the mail order
houses, certain Wealthy and active pro-
prietors of cereal foods. etc, are be-
hind its propaganda.
For several years editorial mail has
not lacked proffered special articles"
and correspondence" offered free
which contained casual reference to the
parcels post as the hope of the nation.
It is not at all certain that parcels
post would not increase instead Of re-
duce the deficit It is certain that it
would largely increase the business of
certain corporations and add to their
profits.

HIS PLACE SECURE.

No Drawer, hrainier, cleaner man
than A. B. Cummins was ever hon
ored by public office in this state which
has given the nation and the world
some Of it's greatest statesmen and
publicists. He has had a stormy ca
reer In his political life. but thru 1t
all he has been the same cultured.
magnetic and forceful gentleman. He
has gained many notable victories and
suffered some crushing defeats, but
always he has gained in the estima-
ton Of those who know him best. Per-
sorally he is one of the most likeable
men in the world and his friends have
always maintained that the opposition
to Mr.. Cummins in this state has been
based on misapprehension and mis-
representation of his character and
purposes. Happily that is now large
ly a matter of the past. Governor
Cummins' position in Iowa politics is
secure and he and the state are to be
congratulated upon the result.

FALLAc1Hs OF GAMBLING.

burlington HaWkeye.)
This town ought to do something to
clean out the gambling establishments.
They are runnhg in open defiance of
the law and unrestrained by the city
government. Our citizens are apathetic
in this matter, having little hope of ac-
complishing anything under the pres
ent municipal administration. 1t would
seem to be a case where, the city au-
thorities failing to check the evil, the
county officials might step in effective
ly and render a service to the COM
munity.
1t is not merely question of morals;
it is situation affecting business in.
tegrity Young men, employees and
men holding responsible position, are
enticed into the gambling rooms, full
filling the adage, "a fool and his money
are soon parted" Employers dread the
effect of the gambling habit upon their
employees. It grows upon the victim
until moral restraint and self-respect
are lost, and he "plunges.'' 1t is a
menace to society, a vice so serious
that any community is justified in de-
manding the firm enforcement Of the
laws against it.
The thought entertained by some
business men that gambling helps
business" is a. fallacy pf the rankest
kind 1t undermines legitimate BUSH
ness and promotes the illicit. Gambling
is an occupation that produces nothing
except loss Of money, loss of char
acter and standing, loss of self-re-
spect and manhood 1t is an accessory
of debauchery, foe of every good
trait in human being.

The fact is that nowadays men buy
news instead of politics. Once they
bought partisan newspapers. Our grand
fathers either swore by or at the Chi

men subscribe to republican or demo-

cuts small figure against the news and
