PASS THE TICKET AROUND.

The Chicago Inter Ocean is inclined
to take a humorous view of the pro-
visions made for medical attendance
at the Republican national convention
in Cn1cago next month. 1t says:
Chairman Upham of the local COM
mittee of arrangements has appointed
forty physicians, eight for each day
of the five on which the convention
will probably be in session, and any
delegate or alternate, or officer or en-
ploye, or prominent friend of any
prominent candidate for a nomination,
who may have a pain or feel a gone.

signal an usher, who will signal a
doorkeeper, who will signal one of the
eight doctors in an ante-room, who
are impatiently waiting for some one
to get sick, Or even hoping that some
one may get sick, SO that they can
get in and hear what Is going on.
The Inter Ocean while believing
that nothing Is too good for the medl-
cal profession, nevertheless feels that
an injustice has been done to some of
the other professions. With people
clamoring for tickets to the conven-
ton and only relatively few secur-

should pass the tickets around. Some

THEY NEVER SLEEP.

The Des Moines Register and Lead
err We hope our readers will not in
quire into the authorship of the fol-
lowing paragraph until after they
have carefully read it:
"The great power concentrated in
the presidents hands by congress has
made the great corporations, includ-
ing the railway companies and bank
ing institutions, ambitious and eager
to control the federal government it.
self, and they are resolutely working
to control it as far as they can by
the force of capital, but as unobstrusi-
vely as possible, 4 Every fresh
extension by congress of the presi-
dents power over corporate interests
has made the large corporations, in
dustrial, railway and financial, with
their enormous capital and resources,
more and more bold and determined
in their efforts to control the presi-
dency, if indeed that is possible, and
this motive underlies a great and
growing amount of corruption in our
national politics.
If we should say that Mr. Bryan
was responsible for this outgiving no
surprise would be expressed But
Mr.. Bryan is not the author. 1t is
Henry Clews. the Wall street banker,
who in an address in Manchester, N.
H., said this ard much more of sim
liar Import.
Without stopping to consider the
reason Mr.. Clews gives for the activ-
ity of corporate wealth and politics
just at this time, is it not we'll that
every voter IN Iowa should open his
eyes to the fact itself that ''the great
corporations, including the railway
companies and banking institutions,
are resoluteiy working to control as
far as they can by the force of cap
ital?"
This is not Mr.. Bryan for it nor
Senator LaFollette, nor Governor
Cummins, nor Governor Larrabee,
nor Henry Wallace nor Judge Cow
an. 1t is Henry Clews, probably the
best known banker Of Wall street.
No one can question that Mr.. Clews
knows what he is talking about. And
no one can assign motive for telling
what is not true.
We commend Henry Clews to those
who believe there is no occasion for
keeping the fires of reform lighted in
Iowa.

years Numerous attempts had been
made during this period, to bring the
powerful corporations under legisla-
tive control but without permanent
success. The cooperation of the gov
ernor and the Twenty-second general
assembly had at last brought a
remedy for many of the evils and ex-
tortions practiced by the railroads
which had hong oppressed the people.
The legislation of that general as
sembly which was strongly urged by
the governor, devised and applied
measures of control by law which have
stood the test of time and the courts.
But the evil effects of the railroad
free pass for officials and other inn
entrenched that all attempts to eradi-
cate that dangerous form of bribery
was left over for the advent of Gov.
A. B. Cummins who became governor
January 1, 1902.
The session of the legislature which
convened in January, 1890, had to
elect United States senator and
there was a strong element which de-
sired the election of Gov Larrabee
to that important position. The great
service he had rendered the people
IN bringing railroads under the control
OF law rendered him the most popular
public official of Iowa and large
majority of the people of the state de-
sired to have him continued in the
public service. He declined, however,
to enter the contest for the place
against Mr.. Allison who was nomi
mated by the Republican caucus for
reelection; Notwithstanding which
many members of the general assemb-
ly cast their votes for Gov. Larrabee.
Gov. Larrabee's speech delivered at
West Union recently on the senatorial
contest now on in this state, a
synopsis of which was published in
the Courier Saturday, May %, should
have been, and probably was, read
by the Courier constituency III this
and the adjoining counties No bet
ter presentment of the issues between
the progressive and standpat forces
than Gov. Larrabee's can be made.
Every voter who is only seeking to do
the right thing in this matter of the
senatorship should give to Gov LARA
bees address a careful reading Dur
Ing his four years as governor in his
ASHt LOT square deal Tor all the
people, he, like the present governor
encountered the wrath of the
corporations of the state, the COM
muntty of interested people, people
who believe that instead of this be-
ing government of the people, for
the people and by the people, seek to
make it a government of the corporate
interests for the corporate interests
and by the corporate interests.
