THE SITUATION GRAVE.
Boone Newsl

The real question is, how long are
the progressive republicans of iowa
going to turn the other cheek also.
They have been patient beyond meas
ure with the ''heads win tails you
lose" program. 1t began In the eau
Gus which nominated Senator Gear on
the brink of the grave. in which the
progressive republicans took part and
altho defeated by only two votes,
swung In line for the party nominee.
In 1906 Governor Cummins was the
regular nominee for governor, and
large number of standpatters tried to
defeat him In 1908 Senator Allison was
the regular nominee for senator, de-
feating the governor after warm con-
test, and the progressives swung IN
line for Allison. Now Cummins is
the regular party nominee for senator
and the standpatters threaten to bolt
him. 1t happens that there are some
standpatters on the ticket this year.
The News Republican never advises
boiling, but is it within reason to ex-
pect that the rank and file of the Cum
minis adherents will stand idly by and
see him knitted and on election day
walk UP and vote the straight repub-
lican ticket?
This paper deplores the situation.
1t was for an honest amendment of
the primary election and nothing more
at the special session. Peace on 81 bas-
is Of putting the question "back to the
people, was possible. That was shown
by the peace conference. The business
of the legislature was to amend the pri-
mary law, and let it go at that. But
they got into middle. A test vote
came UP on the senatorial question. No
matter how it came up, all good repub-
licans are bound to abide by the will
of the majority. The standpatters. for
once ought to show disposition to
swallow their dislikes and submit to
party regularity when it goes the 9TH
err fellows way. The party can rot eX-
list on the theory that when one wing
is In majority everything is lovely, but
when the other wing is in majority,
the minority will bolt.
Support the regular ticket, gentle
men. no matter how CALLING. and get
into the game for the next expression
of popular will at the polls

the sixty-six had been standpatters
there would have been an election of a
standpatter to the senatorial vacancy
yesterday and Cummins would be tell
ing his friends to support the ticket to-
day but, while sixty-six progressives
are some more than forty three stand
patrers in a party caucus, they are not
enough to elect over a combination of
forty-three boilers with forty-six
democrats and adjournment is merely
the acceptance Of the inevitable.

No moRE CHEAP CORN PRODUCTS.

With the, announcement. that meat
prices will be no lower for a long time
and are likely to be higher the con-
vtction grows strong that the days of
cheap meat, corn and all corn products
are gone never to return. Seven cent

mark offer no immediate prospect for
cheaper steaks and rib roas,ts. Mutton

cations of the experts, buh beef and

erican meal. are high, will remain high
and probably go. higher. Few farmers
are willing to feed 70-cenr corn, into
cattle and hogs and take the chance
OF the market. SO when we order a
porterhouse cut extra thick it will be
necessary to count the cost this win
ter.
Population increases but there is
small accession to the acreage where
on corn may be grown profitably. Ev-
cry additional boost to the census
means a tilt to the prices of corn prod
ucts. The immense consumption OF
breakfast foods has made new mar
ket for corn Corn is king in this
country and is taking on the airs OF
autocracy. The cortland is all under
cultivation. There is no more cheap
cortland and there will never be cheap
corn as we still understand the term
when applied to our principal cereal
crop.
Just one method remains. We must
raise more corn on the land that grows
it. The possibilities Of the corn crop
are but beginning to be apprehended.
So long we have scratched the sur
face of the generous soil and been

AEAlR AND RIGID PRIMARY.

The Iowa legislature has adopted one
OF the things for which 1t was con-
vened. 1t has instituted a special and
secondary primary to be held on the
day Of general election for the filling
of vacancies in any party's nomination
Of a United States senator. The hope
was that such law would relegate the
factional issue in republican politics to
the primary vote and thereby HIT 1t
from or the backs of republican can
didates generally, but the unpreeedent-
ed action Of a standpat minority IN
boiling the nominee Of the republican
caucus for senator has largely pre-
vented the short cut to party peace in
tended. However, a correct principle
has been recognized in the passing or
the amendment, namely that all the
members OF a party are to vote again
upon their choice for United States
senator until the legislature Isl finally
instructed upon this point by direct
vote Of the people.
The details of the amended law are
comparatively unimportantg except tina.
1t should be known that the amend
ment was drawn largely by two stands
pat lawyers who Were conspicuous
among the boilers If it is not entirely
satisfactory to their peculiar class OF
republicans, they must assume respon-
sibility for It's deficiencies. The inten-
ton OF every member was to provide
an exclusive primary. one in which the
voting would be confined to the bona
fide members OF the party holding the
primary. Thus the plan Of requiring
primary participants to vote for cer-
tain candidates on their ticket was
abandoned only because of Its very
doubtful legality and a written dec
laration Of party fealtS was provided
In It's stead. 1t Is a waste of breath
now to argue this point of legality, for
1T is enough to know that the two best
lawyers among the bpltiipg minority
faction joined with the attorney gem
eral in belief that the so-calIed peace
conference plan was illegal.
Under the primary now provided the
republican voter this fall will simply
sign an order blank requesting that he
be given a ballot to be voted in his re-
publican primary IN this order blank
he will declare that he affi]iates with
the republican party, that he intends
to support its nominees generals
and that he did not enroll in any 9TH
err party in the primary in June. 1t is
q reasonable statement altho suf-
f1ciently drastic to confine the primary
to those who, in the main, affiliate
with the republican party. The only
unfortunate thing about it is that the
mere fact OF a signed statement being
required will operate to exclude voters
who are fully entitled to participate in
a republican primary. However, if all
factions can not accept 1t as a fair
list Of rules for their game, it will be
because they are not willing to abide
by any rule so long as the game goes
against them.
