STATES INTERESTS PARAMOUNT

Orange City Herald: Three months
after the election of j. H. Gear to
the United States estate he died.
Mr.. Allison. who is older than Gear
then was by many years and who has
been honored by the state far beyond
the period of natural expectancy. who
has defaulted the state on important
occasions because of his age,- Mr..
Allison now asks tue state of Iowa to
return him to the senate for the
seventh time. The state of Iowa has
a right to look after its own interests
at the ,r ent time. There is plenty
of history to show that Senator AL
lison. during his thirty-s;x years in
the senate. has been thinking more of
seat in the senate than he has the
state of Iowa. He has. it is true.
succeeded in maintaining a tariff on
wheat. but the significance of that
fact is not especially great according
to his own words. The newspapers
which supported Mr.. Perkins in the
! last campaign are all for Allison.
He has been for quarter of cen
fury they allege. chairman of the
great committe on appropriations and
/ is today the unquestioned leader of
the senate. Not one of these news
papers has been able to point out a
single measure of benefit to the state
during his long years of service. The
sentiment which would return him to
Washington is one born of the loaves
and fishes. a sentiment diligently
promoted by those who have been
beneficiaries of senatorial politics. II
the state of Iowa proposes at this
time to select public servant on the
score of efficiency the choice will be
soon made and happily made.

LAFE YOUNG's OPINION

Mr.. Cummins is a man of ability
and courage and has been attempting
to voice the popular sentiment in Iowa
for better political methods and
cleaner politics. The Capital believes
in Mr.. Cummins: has confidence in his
judgment, his republicanism and his
patriotism. His whole career as a
lawyer and as a public man vouch safe
these things. The opposition to Mr..
Cummins has been cold blooded and
heartless. Because of the treatment
bestowed on him. thousands of repub-
licans have been attracted to his
standard purely as a matter of JUS
tice. ~ es Moines Capital.

effects of a long continued process

effects of long continued process
which is breaking down the isolation
of nations.
3'Wiuh the breaking down of is0la-
ton that makes a common opinion
possible. the building up of standards
of conduct is being accomplished by
the formation and establishment of
rules that ar. being gradually taken
out of the domain of discussion in
to that of general acceptance pro-
cess which the recent conferences at
The Hague have played a great and
honorable part. There is no civil
lied country now which is not sensi
tive to this opinion. The Difference
shown to this international public
opinion is due in proportion to great
ness and advances in civilization.

NO CAUSE FOR CRITICISM.

Three republican papers in the 10th
district are opposing the election of
Congressman j. P. Conner and none
of them have produced any argument
that can convince the voters that he
should not be returned. He has stood
with the people, he has fought for the
principles advocated by President
Roosevelt and has looked we'll to the
interests of the old soldiers in his
own district. His record is good
clean one and we believe the voters
will show their appreciation of his
work and give him a great majority
at the June primary. Monitor.

WHAT CANDIDATES PLEDGE
Jefferson Bee


While the newspapers are quib-
bling over the exact construction to
be placed on the senatorial primary
election, it may be enlightening to
refer again to the rules OF the contest
as laid down and accepted by the two
candidates themselves. over their sig
nature. at the opening of the cam
paign.
Senator Allison said: eff ma
jority of the republicans of Iowa shall
express their preference for another.
at the election to be held next June
under the primary law. l will in abso-
lutte good faith cheerfully accept their
decision and withdraw my name from
further consideration as a candidate.
l need not add that under such cir
cumstances l will do whatever I can
to loyalty carry out the spirit and
purpose of the primary law. If more
than two candidates come before the
primaries, shall feel the same OBJ
legation to abide by the decision I'M
der the provisions to the law. This
view l have uniformly expressed when
speaking of the subject"
Gov. Cummins said: "For myself,
| want the republicans of this State
to know that there are but two re-
publican candidates for senator, and if
l do not receive majority of all the
republican votes cast for that Office.
will not be candidate against my
opponent before the general assem-
bly,; nor will permit my name to be
used in that connection. On the con
trary. will. under those circumstances,
give to my opponent the same loyal
support that shall expect him to
give me if | do receive a majority OF
the votes. If there shall be three
candidates or more, will observe in
the same spirit the purpose and in
tent of the law"
The editor of The Bee wants no.
body to doubt his absolute fidelity tt
the results of the primary election as
contemplated in the law and inter
preted in the above frank and cleal
statements of the candidates. He
considers his carrying out of the
sovereign will of the majority of the
republican voters of Iowa in this mat
ter sacred obligation, any evasion
or lodging of which would be an ir
redeemable disgrace.

THE TRAGEDY OF LIFE.

But few days ago the sun was
smiling from cloudless sky. Warm
breezes gently breathed their mes
sages of Spring, the birds sang with
joy as they built their tiny nests, the
fruit trees were decked in bridal
beauty. each branch a fragrant rain
bow of promise of the generous fruit
age of the year.
Oh, the delicate, beautiful bios
SONS. the tiny. perfect buds. Each
containing in itself the promise of a
splendid ful6llment of the mission
of a flower. What exquisite coloring
How daintier their fabric than the
finest silk: How sweet the prefume
How altogether perfect and beautiful
and full of promise.
And then came the bitter. pitiless
hail. The branches tossed in anguish,
the trees bowed their heads in grief,
and the tiny petals were beaten. beat
en-. crushed. bruised and broken. torn
from the parent stem. taken from the
mother heart of the tree whose very
llfe-blood had been given so freely to
bring them into bloom; driven. pounded
into the earth. until the ground about
was white. not alone with the cold
and cruel hail. but with the tiny.
perfumed petals that would never
again dance with Joy to greet the
morning sun. or feed their sweetness
to the bees or delight the hearts of
men with their beauty.
And then the work of destruction
was completed. The warm breezes.
beaten back snow and the North
wind claimed their sovereignty.
And where was life and joyance
and beauty and the carolling of
birds and the sounds of childish voices
at their play beneath the fragrant
branches. succeeded the GOODNESS and
the desolation of death. The trees
stand bare and gaunt and gloomy
Gone are the flowers that made them
beautiful. gone is the promise Of the
fruitage.
They seem to cry out to US in an
agony of spirit. they seem to implore
the cruel North wind to take them
too. For it is the greatest tragedy
that. having lost their all. they still
must live. barren mockeries of the
glorious. throbbing, life-giving parent
trees they might have been.
This is the tragedy of the tree.
Why it is SO. God knows. We cannot
tell.
For the human heart the tragedy
would be the same. hopeless. irretr ev
able. if one did not have faith, faltl
that the petals are not lost for aye
faith that the fragrance. the essence
the spirit Of the little human flower
shall live forever in Gods Kingdom.

THE TEMPERANC E MOVEMENT

The big state of Illinois with its
great Chicago and large cities such
as Springfield. Freeport, Peoria and
East st. Louis is having touch of
reform along temperance lines. The
state law now provides for the various
townships having right to vote
whether there shall be saloons in the
territory. and over two thousand have
gone "dry'
At later election certain towns
and cite S in dry townships voted for
saloons. and this fact was hearolded
with great JOY by the liquor interest.
Then came supreme court discision
holding that the township unit pre-
vailed. and that municipality could
not vote saloons if the township had
voted none. The law was upheld
along many points favorable to the
closing of saloons. Very soon there
will be law of congress that liquors
cannot be shipped from out of the
state to "dry'' township or city.
That law will effect Iowa. and of
course every state in the nation.
Those having experience in life know
that the voting out of saloons does
not entirely wipe out the trafice and
drinking of liquor. but nevertheless
a great gain, has been made in the
past year by the men and women who
would wipe the liquor traffic out of
existence.

This thought and this alone has
power to cheer the fainting heart. TO
quiet the voice IF rebellion against
Gods will. to make it possible to go
on faithfully with the now empty
round of life and duty.

Here ere = few Of the striking
epigrams which were appreciated
bv those who listened to the de-

The printing press and pro2a-

Sacred stupidity and clersgman
laziness has kept the press aad the
pulpit apart in soul saving
The men Of keen business mind
advertise extensively in the paper. "
The church, the greatest bust
ness on earth. seldom gives II an

Stop our general criticism. DO
not bunch all editors and tag as

The weakest thing preacher
ever did is to fight a newspaper
The biggest money-eater on
earth is newspaper; and next TO
the preacher in receiving compen-
sation for his work is the editor.
"All the equipment of the papers
and editors of note are with Us Tor

Christianity.
what we want is more point

Remember that II thing IS
dead when uttered by living voice
that it will be thousand times
dead when laid out in cold type.
I'VE find reporters in the New
Testament. and from that day till
this they have had an important
part in the bringing Of the world
to Christ
Leave out the editors work IN
