WORTH REMEMBERING.
lGlidden Graphic.l

Do the voters of Iowa know that be-
fore the era of Cummins it was very
rare occasion when law suit could
be held before a judge who did not
have in his pocket free transportation
all that he desired for himself and
for his family if he wished it?
Do the voters of Iowa realize that
before Cummins there were from five
to a dozen or more of the shrewdest
lawyers and the best doctors in every
county in the state who held free mile
age or free annual passes for which
the only recompense they gave was
political service?
Do the voters OF this great state
know that before Cummins the nomi-
nations of all their state officers were
made by delegates who in nine cases
out of ten travelled to and from the
conventions on free transportation fur
nished by the political agents of the
railways?
Have we forgotten that before the
days of Cumnlins every law and every
appropriation made by the general as
semblies of this state were passed by
legislators, with but rare exceptions,
whose pockets bulged with free trans
portation?

BoIEs FOR GOVERNOR.


The nomination of General Weaver
would be party suicide. The party
would go into the campaign and come
out of it much stronger without
candidate than with General Weaver
for one. This is no reflection on his
personal honor, but his political views
have been altogether too much varied,
and at times they have been utterly
inconsistent with democratic princi-
pies, both old and new.
The Dubuque Telegraph Herald, the
leading democratic paper of north
eastern Iowa, proposes Fred p. White
for governor, calling him the logical
nominee. Mr.. White is q man Of
great natural ability, of clean private
life, Of devotion to all essentials OF
democracy. But he has been three
times a candidate for congress, Win
ming one election and making high
mark in the halls of legislation. He
has been twice a candidate for gov
ernor of Iowa. Under suspension of
the rules, Mr.. White addressed the
convention at Cedar Rapids last
Thursday. He said distinctly that he
had given all the service to the party
as a candidate that ne could afford to
give. And 1t is probably true that, &C
cording to his means, he has given
more than any other one man, dem

MISTAKES OF POSITIVE MEN.

Men who are positive as distin-
guished from the negative kind are
always subject TO criticism for the in
evitable mistakes of activity. Those
who wait before they act or speak are
less liable to error. Those who never
take a stand on any question until
public policy is we'll outlined by the
people themselves are able to avoid
criticism and even gain credit for SUI
perhuman wisdom.
President Roosevelt is a type of the
positive statesman in American life.
President Roosevelt is one of the kind
that does things. He does not wait to
find out what the majority Of the poll
ticians want, but he finds out what is
right, and then goes ahead. Some
times he discovers that he has been
too fast, or that later events have
changed the situation. But he has
never been accused of lacking the cour-
age to say which side he is on.
his methods, Governor Cummins, In
his New York address, said:
1T is said that he has made mis-
takes; l suppose he has, but the mis-
takes Of man who is trying to find
the safe path are better than the in
action of man who shirkS away, say
ing there is no path-let us be content
as we are 1t is said that he talks too
much 1t may be so, but | would rath-
er hear the voice of man declaring
what he believes to be true, even if he
is wrong, than to listen to the plati-
tudes of the man who is too cowardly
or too conservative to say anything"
No one could have better stated the
difference between the two types Of
statesmen-the path finder and the
path follower If the men of positive
convictions and those having the cour-
age for action never make mistakes,
there would be no opportunity for the
compromiSers and those who play be-
tween the lines. 1t is natural that
men who speak out early and fail to
wait for the crystallizing of sentiment
should err oftener than others. But
they are the real leaders. They make
sentiment. They crystalline senti-
ment They point the way They are
the real makers of history

Selecting Seed Potatoes.

The best time to select seed would
no doubt be at digging time II each
hill could be dug separately and note
be taken of the number of stalks IN a
HILL for then we would choose our SEED
from those hills which averaged the
greatest number of tubers to the stalk
providing they were we'll shaped and
were characteristic of their variety.
The number of stalks to the hill US
ually shows the number of eyes to the
seed planted and is no indication OF
proliiicness, but the number of tubers
set on each stalk does indicate this
quality. for each stalk is really an in
dividual plant, therefore the number OF
tubers set indicates the reproductive
power of the plant.
1t seems like heresy to say so, but
we prefer to choose seed from the hills
with many tubers to each stalk, tho
the potatoes are small, rather than
from the hills with two or three stalks,
each Individual supporting a smaller
number of large potatoes.
In the first place the smaller size
can be accounted for by dearth OF
rlanr food in the soil, not enough of
the needed elements being present to
feed the potatoes so they could grow
to a great size within the limits of
the life of the potato plant, and they
are small merely as a result of semi
starvation, while the potatoes few IN
the hill had just as much plant food
in their vicinity to draw on and 1t was
not shared by so many; therefore each
one got greater supply, hence the
greater development
This law Of nature holds good With
animals as we'll as plants, and we see
it exemplified in case of half starved
r,:nt.s of all classes of live stock.
AS these same runts, IN spite OF
retarded growth, may, if well fed, later
develop into animals that make fairly
good breeders, iif from families that
had good characteristics behind them,
SO these small potatoes will make
very good seed, and experience has
proven it pays to plant them.
1t does not pay, however, to impair
the vitality by cutting them in pieces
Plant them whole and secure a stand
to be proud of, but be sure the ground
is rich, so that it may support the
luxuriant growth Of tops which sprout
from so many eyes, as well as the great
number of tubers which are likely to
set.
Sort out the small potatoes and put
away first what are needed for seed
before disposing Of the rest, remem-
boring that it will take at least fifteen

RAILWAYS AND PUBLIC SENTIMENT.

Managers of some of the railways
of the country are dscarding the
public be damned" policy. Forced by
public Indignation and the enactment
of restrictive laws in many states. the
railways have been forced to change
their point of view. w. r. Begg, head
Of the legal department of James j.
Hills great system, in a recent inter-
view declared that I'VE should not be
dismayed at the mass of legislation
aimed at railroads. Generally speak
ing, the railroads have nothing to fear
from the people," because he says, they
aim to be fair and for the added rea-
son that the peoples own interests de-
mand fair treatment of railroads.
Assuredly the public aims to be fair
to rail corporations. The mutual in
terests of both demand it. But the
people can not be exactly fair, when
railroads seek to rule them; when they
oppose every restrictive measure pro-
posed: use trickery to control our poll
tics and our public officials and impose
the highest tariffs the traffic will bear.
Mr. Begg says the hostility of the
public towards railroads. If it exists is
due largely to a MISUNDERSTANDING
of railroad conditions In this Mr..
Begg is mistaken What hostility real
ly does exist is due to thorough UNI
derstanding of conditions-conditions
for which the railway corporations are
wholly responsible. The evils of which
the public has complained did not ex-
list when various and competing lines
were owned by many separate inter-
ests. AS long as the railways sought
business at competitive rates and were
satisfied with reasonable earnings there
was no hostility on the part OF the
public AS the companies We're merged
and gradually fell under control of a
few who had grown rich from their
legitimate revenues and richer from
the sale of watered stocks, increased
dividends were required The corpor-
ations organized their legal departments
into an intricate and well oiled political
machine, not only to forestall adverse
legislation, but to procure favorable
laws and low tax assessments Secret
rebates to Standard Oil and other cor
porations in which railway managers
were financially interested caused the
people to wonder for time if the In
terests of the railways We're really their
own, hence the enactment of many re-
strictive laws have followed.
The railroads have about concluded
to be good. The public will be fair. as
Mr.. Begg concludes-but only so long
as the roads are fair to the public. 1t
is up to the corporations themselves to
determine whether or not there shall
longer be hostility on the part of the
public.

CLARKE LARGER THAN FACTIONS.

Inc II. George w. SldIht, vi AQtl,
once speaker of the house of represen-
tatives, is candidate for the republican
nominated and elected to the office, he
will become president of the
senate and name the committees of the
senate which will act upon the i'm
portant legislation of the future. The
Times Republican has watched the
career Of Mr.. Clarke and knows of no
man in Iowa public life who is better
equipped in point of experience and
ability to fill this office. Mr.. Clarke
is one of the strong men of the state.
He would have been equally as strong
as candidate for governor, or for con-
gress, and if he is nominated and elect
ed he will be able to dignity the office
with distinguished service.
This view of Mr.. Clarke's fitness for
the office is shared by the most radi-
cal of anti-progressive factionalists,
whom Mr.. Clarke has been identified,
as was amply evidenced by what LATE
Young said Of him in the Capital upon
the occasion of Mr.. Clarke's recent APP
pearance before the Grant club. The
Capital then said editorially:
Hon. George w. Clarke, of Adel.
{01,j
before the Grant club. and was greet
ed with hearty and sympathetic APP
plause. 1t is an address that should
be repeated in every county in the
state. The ex-speaker did not mince
his words. He evidently did not care
who were hit. He hewed directly to
the line, and allowed the chips to fall
where they would. He is opposed to
bossism; opposing the idea that a man
must start after another office just
as he takes seat in the first one; thinks
politicians should not be assessed, nor
should they use their underlings as
helpers in political contests. He has
the idea that politicians should have
some modesty and that the only road
to promotion should be by duty done.
He did not forget Hon. Charles Aid
rich, who started the movement
against the railroad pass in Iowa, the
man who fought against the pass
when the pass was popular. Mr.. Clarke
gave utterance to one sentiment which
ought to have attention, Immediate at
tention. turnout the state He said
there were too many employees around
every general assembly. a majority of
them having nothing to do. He said
that such young men and young wom-
en- were not benefited by state employ
ment. Take it all the way thru, Mr.
Clarke's speech is keynote. 1t will
attract state wide attention and de-
serves to do so. Mr.. Clarke is not an
office-seeker, nor is he demagogue.
He is man of candor and frankness,
and the people of Dallas county know
him to be quiet and modest. If he had
not been quiet and modest, he would
today be the only candidate for gov
ernor before the republican party. In
a sense he is victim of bossism. But
he has no personal grievances, no
wounds of his own.
We invite the careful attention Of
the republicans of Iowa to the speech
of strong, capable. candid, honest
r.an-George w. Clarke
Such is the endorsement given to
him by the most radical exponent Of

Greer FORAGE for HOGS.

An especially timely bulletin has
just been issued from the Missouri
experiment station by Dean H. j. Wa
tiers, giving the results of some ex-
periments I'd determine the value Of
different forage crops for hogs.
Thirty-six pigs weighing about so
lbs each were fed in lots on different
forage crops in connection with corn
until they were made ready for mar
ket, accurate account being kept of the
cost of gains made.
In the cheapness of gains the feeds
used ranked as follows: Corn and
skim milk, cheapest; corn and alfalfa,
second: corn and red clover, third:
corn and bluegrass, fourth; corn and
rape, fifth; corn and ship stuff, sixth.
A saving Of about 75c a hundred in
the cost at gain was effected by using
green clover instead of fresh blue
grass. A saving of 81 hundred was
effected by using alfalfa instead of
bluegrass.
When it Is realized that alfalfa comes
on earlier ard when properly clipped
stays green all summer and until the
very hard freezes of early winter, its
Importance as hog pasture is ap-
parent Glover yields more forage per
acre than bluegrass, and as shown by
these experiments has much higher
feeding value. 1t is of the utmost i'm
portance. therefore, to provide this sort
of pasture for hogs rather than to re-
uuire them to run on bluegrass pas
ture, or even worse than bluegrass, a
timothy pasture, or even far worse
than this, to ,confine them in a dry lot
in the summer time.
This bulletin recommends a success
sion of crops for profitable hog pasture.
The bulletin is for free distribution
and may be had by addressing the ex-
pertinent station at Columbia.

A Common FEEDING Error.

A hog fattens more quickly by be-
ing fed no more at any time than 1t
will eat. 1t should always clean up
all in the trough. When it has fed,
clean out the trough and do not feed
again until you are sure that 1t is
hungry. 1t will lose less in weight to
permit it to go without food a day
than it would by continuing to feed 1t
beyond it's appetite. When hog be-
gins to feed indifferently food should
be discontinued until it shows signs
OF keen appetite. Overlooking Is one
of the most common mistakes Of hog
raisers.

WHY HE CAN'T WIN.
(Cedar RaDids GaZette)

With all due respect to General
Weaver, as a splendid man and citi-
zen, it will have to be admitted that
he has had his day in politics. With
out regard to his attitude on prohi-
bition or any other question. he could
hardly hope to win at the primaries
of his party or at the election. The
old man who can rally the young men
the active workers of his party-to
him, is the exception. And the man
who has the support of the younger
element is generally the man who wins.
A great many men who have been in
politics many, many years, do not real
ize that they cannot lead forever
