1REwlN AND TEMPLE AMENDMENT.

In this day Of the employers liability
bill recently urged and whipped thru
congress by President Roosevelt, it will
be interesting to recall the days of the
Temple amendment in Iowa. In the
legislative session of 1897, when the
revolt against railroad domination OF
the republican party was forming
among prominent members Of the leg
islature, there appeared bill to pre-
vent railroad employees losing their
right under the statute law to recover
damages from the railroad company
for injuries in case the employee had
joined benefit association and agreed
not to claim damages from the corpor-
alton. 1t seems that Mr.. Blythes CO.
road had benefit association among
its men, to which the corporation was
a contributor, but the men in joining
the association were compelled to sign
an agreement releasing the corporation
from responsibility or agreeing not to
sue the road for damages.
The lineup in the legislature was
strictly g. railroad and anti-railroad
lineup and it is interesting to note the
names Of those who voted. On the
question of committee substitute in
the senate are recorded such senators
as Dave Palmer, Carroll, Waterman
and Trewin, voting for the railroad
side of the controversy, while such
senators as Tom Cheshire, Ellison
Ericsson, Funk, Garst, Gilbertson. Healy
and Jumlin, all voted to protect the
rights of the workmen. Altho it was
two years before the factions began tc
take on form in the nomination of Gill
bertson and Martin for membership on
the executive council and four years
before TreWin was the railroad candi-
date against Cummins for governor at
the Cedar Rapids convention, the line
up shows distinguished array of
since-called Cummins men on the side
OF the employee with Trewin at the
head of the old railroad majority, talk
ink care of the interests.
The Cedar Rapids Gazette of the
time raised loud protest against the
crowd headed by Trewin. The Temple
amendment has been killed in the SEN
ate" cried the Gazette. ut has been
decided, practically, that men have no
rights that corporations are bound to
respect : Twenty-Five rpgues and
incompetents who should be deprived
of power to do harm. Not one of
these tWenty-fiy five senators should be
returned. Let the workingmen of the
state begin their campaign now and
keep it up" Railroad men are now
asked to send Trewin to congress
where he can look after the interests
on larger scale.

APPROVAL COMES LATE.

The Allisons, the Youngs, the
Laceys, the Perkinses, and the Trew-
ms profess to be friendly to the pro-
gressive laws that have been enacted in
Iowa during the past few years. Per-
haps they are sincere in their profess
sions. We hope they are. But not
withstanding these measures were all
enacted by a republican administra-
ton not a single county convention
controlled by these men approved them
and the state convention was as silent
as the grave concerning this record
for which there is so much professed
loyalty. Why this silence? Was it
mere oversight on the part Of all
these resolutions committees or are
there performances going on behind
the curtain not revealed to the gaze
of the audience?

CONGRESSIONAL INFLUENCE
Knoxyille Journal.l


The average man believes in the
principle of rotation In office. The
idea of an office holding or governing
class Is repugnant to every American
citizen He has been taught to be-
lieve that any man may aspire to any
office within the gift of the people. and
he does not like to see the door of OPP
portunity closed in his face. The idea
that 1t Is necessary to retain men In
public office year after year, in order
that the state or the district may gain
any influence in government, has been
carefully and sedulously cultivated by
the fellows who are in, despite the
fact that it is VIGOROUSLY untrue, but
the fallacy is breaking down at a rapid
rate. For instance, altho no man ever
entered the American congress under
more adverse circumstances than Rob-
ert M. LaFollette of Wisconsin. yet he
is today the strongest influence in that
body for good government. Attic his
colleagues refused to listen to his
speeches, and refused him assignment
on any important committees, yet. af-
ter only three years of service, he is
recognized as one Of the most potent
forces in the senate. Real influence In
the deliberations of any body of men
comes not from length of service. but
from those qualities of mind and
heart that furnish influence in every
walk Of life. 1t is the weakling that
must hide behind the flimsy shield Of
length of SERVICE" for his claim to
influence and power in congress as
we'll as elsewhere.

PAID TO ADVERTISE.
(Anamosa Journal.)

Publicity is what is needed in all
public matters. When the council
about two months ago considered the
matter of issuing bonds to the amount
of 100000 for water works, Mr.. Crit
nth proposed to take them at per
cent. Some of the councilmen We're
inclined to accept the proposition. but
Mr.. Conmey and others Insisted upon
calling for bids. The result OF the bids
was that the bonds were Hoated at .
per cent and in addition paid a pre-
MUM of Ss4S. 1t is figured thar
about $4,000 was saved to the city In
this one deal of advertising.

MUST LOWER THEIR RATES.
(Dayenport DEMOCRACY

Farm mortgages in Iowa, and in a
few Of the other well-settled states,
are recognized. as the best security
that can be found. But where the de-
mand was once strong it is now weak.
Western farmers have been getting
out of debt:. many of them have
money to loan. They have tens of
millions of dollars in the savings
banks: and their wants are mostly
supplied.
The insurance companies have large
accommodations of money which they
must invest: but they cannot do it
at the high rates that have prevailed
in the past. That fact will have to
be recognized

Judgment of this paper will be the
next great reform worked out"

The Sac Sun observes that "in every
part of the state the democratic news
papers are favorable to the nomination
of Senator Allison and there is every
reason to believe that more democrats
participated in caucuses against Gov
ernor Cummins two years ago than for
him."
SIN spite of the increased cost of
living" says the Clarion Clipper, lit
costs no more to dream this year about
summer vacations than 1T ever did"
The Scranton Journal contends that
TT ds a grave matter to set up our
own Judgment against the Judgment
of the majority of the republican vot-
ers of Iowa. AS for The Journal, 1t
has never had sufficient faith in its
infallibility to adopt such policy"
"Mr. Bryan may not be able to turn

essaying the feat If congress adjourns
without having accomplished anything
In the line of financial legislation" re-
marks the Sioux City Journal.
'"The hope of getting outsiders to
come into town and invest their
money while people who live there
and make their money there go else
where to find investment never grows
stronger" asserts the Council Bluffs
NonpareiI.
Every progressive republican in this
state should line up for Warren B.
Garst for governor" asserts the Grun-
dy Republican. "Mr Garst has a.
record unassailabe in every respect
and he is candidate for whom no ex-
cuses need be made"
when the votes are counted after
the primary there will be a clearer I'M
derstanding of Iowa politics than has
ever before been possible" observes
the Brooklyn Chronicle.
"Who Is the better servant of the
republican party" asks the Gldden
Graphic, "the man who got on the fir
ing line in these campaigns for a
cleaner party and better laws or the
one who, watching from afar, asked
only of the victors. whoever they
might be, that he be left undisturbed
in his Officer"
1.-The kind of weather we have been
having the past week has done more
to build up confidence among the
Iowa farmers than any quotations
that come from the stock market or
more than dozen regular or special
messages from the president" de-
clares the Grundy Democrat.

PRIMARY WILL DECIDE.
(Boone News-Republican.)


The start has been made for a fair
and square race, and it will be up to
the people to settle the question on
June g. The great body of republic
ans of the state are for allowing this
decision to settle all questions and for
united party after nomination day
There is no reason for qualifying this
agreement with the proviso barring
gross frauds" 1t would be just as rea-
sonable to provide IF the sun comes
up. There Is no indication but that
the 1908 primary will be conducted In
a more honest and creditable way
than any nominating contest the state
has ever witnessed. 1t will be time
enough to speak of gross frauds af-
ter they have happened, which is an
extremely unlikely contingency.
There is an overwhelming senti-
ment in the state among republicans
to abide by the decision of the pri-
mary. So strong. indeed. that it will
be necessary for any candidate for the
legislature to agree to accept the state
wide decision on the senatorship or -
defeated. 1t makes little difference
what the newspapers do. The candi-
dates for the legislature are the men
to be put on record. No man should
be nominated who is willing to en-
danger the chances of the party by
boiling the expressed will of the voters
at the primary. This fact Is being
recognized everywhere.
And thus the new primary law,
whose benefits to all parties are uni
versally recognized. will have as not
the least of its many advantages the
exceedingly desirable effect of reuniting
the republican party of Iowa.

methods of the Anti Saloon League to

so very violent and abusive that it
will defeat it's purpose, boomerang in
