A CONSPICUOUS FIGURE.

The death of Senator Allison of
Iowa removed one of the conspic-
uous members of the senate and a
long and highly honored citizen Of
Iowa. Senator Allison has been in
Ill health for some time and a siren
uous primary campaign in which he
recently was chosen to succeed him
self in the senate, did not contribute
to his health or vigor. 4.E.....
As member Of the senate COM
mittee on finance and as a statesman
Senator Allison held high place. He
has been in congress for many years
and was one of the oldest members
of that body in point of service as
well as years. His death will be a
distinct loss to Iowa and the nation.
1t is likely, also, to result in another
political battle in Iowa as to his sue
.cession, in which Governor Cummins
will probably be a conspicuous figure.
Cummins was the candidate against
Allison at the recent primaries and
was defeated and he has now an
nounced himself as a candidate for
the full term, beginning next year
with a promptness that would in
dictate his earnestness if not a toe
great regard for the late Senator
Allison. E.s.

WOMAN BUILT A BUNGALOW.

Had No Assistance Even IN Placing
the Big Heavy Rafters.
A neat little bungalow located IN
the outskirts of Long Beach. built by
a pretty little woman, is attracting
attention. The builder is Mrs. Frank
Nottingham, who is a prominent work
er in the Wv. C. A.
Miss Gertrude Gilbert, matrolr for
the Y. w. C. A, wanted home, owned
a lot and had about S12O with which

PEELED to hire carpenters at SO a day.
Mrs. Nottingham talked the matter
over with her and finally said she
would undertake to build it and would
not charge her a penny for her labor.
Though she had never built SO much
as a chicken house before, the plucky
woman was confident. Armed with a
rusty saw, Ratchet, plane and level,
she started to work. She devoted ex-
actly 400 hours to the undertaking
and a short time ago turned the house
over to it's owner. The bungalow Is

an action will be brought to compel
the county auditor to certify the
names of Democratic nominees who
did not receive the required per-
centage for nomination. There seems
to be an impression that this case
will bring the constitutionality Of the
whole primary law into question.
We do not so understand it. The
cane would affect this particular pro-
vision of the law, which might be
set aside without affecting any other
feature of the law not attacked.

MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
CANNED SPEECHES.

Canned speeches seem to be the
novel feature of this campaign, each
one of which develops something
distinctive. Canned oratory'' is or
atory, picked or preserved in a
photograph record, ready. to spout
forth at any or all times without
any other effort than the turning of
crank to wind up the machine. How
efficacious it will be, remains to be
seen. We have some doubt of its
exact value in political campaigning
Whether the voters of the country
will reach that stage of hunger after
political speeches, even from such
speakers as Taft and Bryan, that
they will sit and listen to long I'M
windings of eloquence from a horn
with an occasional whirr and f1ut-
ter as the needle scratches on the
disc, remains to be seen.
There is nothing about it, it would
seem, that would inspire enthusiasm
We cannot imagine an assemblage
of distinguished persons listening
gravely to a canned" speech and
bursting into loud applause of a
talking machine. But the scheme
may have it's good uses and it is not
for US to cry it down. There are
many dangers in it, however. We
may find some inscriptions polite.
ian uttering forged speeches, in
which Mr.. Bryan may be represented
as defending the trusts and Mr.. Taft
shouting for sixteen to one. Z
There is one feature of the matter,
however, that unfolds possibilities
for future generations, and that is
the preserving of great memorial
speeches on monographs for ou1
progency. Imagine being able to
listen to George Washington as he
delivered his farewell address, to
hear Alexander Hamilton discuss
finance, Or to listen to Lincoln's
Gettysburg address as delivered by
che martyr himself. The phono-
graph, it seems to us, has possibili-
ties far beyond the canned" cam
pafgn speech. r..

OPINIONS OF THE PRIMARY.

Opinions of the primary law are
varied and a resume of them pub
lished in a recent issue Of the Jour
nal of Minneapolis, as affecting the
results in this state, shows that po-
litical leaders and public men enter
tain widely differing views as to the
merits of the direct primary. In fov-
Or of the law it is argued that it
does away with 'boss" rule and pre-
vents the evils possible under the
old convention system. Against the
law it is urged that it. favors the
wealthy candidates; that the evils of
the old system are by no means done
away with, and that it is expensive,
cumbersome and ineffective. q @
Doubtless there is some truth in
all the criticisms that have been
made. for it, and in the statements
regarding it's merit. The primary
has some advantages over the old
system, largely, we believe of theo-
retical nature, and it has some bad
features that it will be difficult to
eliminate. The experience of the
first trial may prove advantageous
in suggesting amendments.
The objection to too great de-
votion to principle Or a cause is
that it resents changes, even though
they may be improvements. The pri
mary law is by no means perfect.
If its ardent supporters are fair
enough to admit it's Weaknesses and
assist with such improvements as are
feasible, it may be possible to get
far better system of making nom
nations than we now have or have
had. The over zealousness of de-
voices not infrequently stands in the
way of Improvement quite as much
as the bitter opposition of enemies.
1t will be mistake to argue that be.
cause we have direct primary sys-
tenn it is the perfect system of max
ing nominations. The principle OF
the direct primary is meritorious, no
doubt. The effectiveness of the law
in practice can be attacked. a..

Of Milbank, Twin Brooks, Corona
and Wilmot and d schedule will
be drawn between these four
teams on May lSt, at Twin

meeting called by President
Coulter of Twin Brooks. The
neighboring towns were con
suited on the league proposition
but no other towns seemed will

Milbank will be stronger this
year than last.
