toWA,s NEW SENATOR.

Senator A.. B. Cummins was not
i sworn in ut the opening session yes
Eterday. as the rules provided that he
could not take the oath of office I'M
it'll after the official announcement OF
the death of his predecessor, and that
announcement was not made until
the last moment, when the senate adj
Fiourned as mark of respect to the
late Senator Allison. Senator Cum
minis will be sworn In today. and he
will take big seat under favorable
auspices. Walter Wellman in a spec
ial article IN the Chicago Record-Her-
aid today had this to say of the stir
made by Iowa's new senator on his
first appearance in the senate:
This was essentially a day of the
!, human nature side of Congress; In
the Senate, where the session lasted
only fifteen minutes, Senator-elect
Cunmins of Iowa was easily the cen
ter of attraction. He was pointed at
and gossipsd about by the people in
1.-THE galleries, and on the floor scores
iof senators came UP to shake the
hand of the famous IoWan who has
sought a seat in the senate, 10, these
many years, persisted in spite of an
! opposition that would have crushed
many a weaker spirit and won out at
last. He occupied a front seat on the
Democratic side Of the chamber, and
both before and after the brief SEES
sion held an informal reception of
those who wished to shake his hand
and offer their congratulations.

SPARKS WOULD
CHANGE The LAW
REPRESENTATIVE SAYS PRESENT.
PRIMARY MEASURE A DIS
ADVANTAGE.

Contending that the alphabetical or.
der IN Whicn the names are placed ON
the primary ballots is an Injustice 10
candidates whose Initial letter in the
names are far down and for those
whose names begin with A, B. q q.
u are at great, advantage, Represen-s
tat1Ve Clyde @. Sparks is urging that
the law be amended by the coming
general assembly. In support Of fiis I
views. Mr.. Sparks puts UP the follow
ing argument:
An analysis OF the primary vote OH
last June shows that the order In
Whlch the names Of candidates ares
printed on the primary ballot has too
much to do with the result of the
election. The primary law Directs
that. the names shall be printed In all.
phabetlcal order, and under the appli-
cation OF this law the mere fact that
a candidates name begins with AL
would be real political asset This
is not fair either to the other candi.
dates whose initials are farther down /
In the alphabet, or to the voter who
naturally places his pencil mark OPP;
posite the first name on the list or
candidates.
An illustration is found in the CON.
tests over the Republican state nom.
nations. The standpatters met in
Des Moines and selected slate. and
the Cummins men did the same. the
intent was that either ono or the 9TH
er of these states would be nominated
entire; the Cummins men did not IN.
tend to nominate standpatterg. and
vice versa; yet the ticket actually
nominated was composed OF both
Cummins men and standpatters, be-
cause of the fact that so MANY voters
marked the square opposite the first
name; Carroll. standpatter, won Nv
about the same majority. I believe.
that Byers, progressive, did, and SO
on. so far as remember, without ier-
ception. The situation was a1msot the
same here in the county In our party
here in Wapello county; we had six
contests for nominations; and the
candidate whose name was first: on
the list was nominated In each OF
these contests. KendalIs large vote
over Roninger was partly caused by
this arrangement. as was Cunn1ins'i
large majority over Lacey. This first
place on the list is good for, 7 be-
lIeve, ninety per cent of the indiffer-
ent vote
81 think the coming general assem-
bly, should amend the law before the
spring primaries. SO that each candi-
date shall have fair chance before
the voters. 1t would be difficult VITO
frame a method which would settle
the order in which names should be
placed and yet be fair to all. but It
can be done in some way. It should
he done before the February primary
for city nominations. and IL not, the
attention OF all voters in all parties
should be called to this condition thai
they may remember to take the time
and trouble to properly mark their
ballot

BUY THEM NOW.

In Mr.. Bryan's paper. the CommoneT,
editorial objection is raised to the
campaign for the early Christmas
shopping. The Commoner says:
buy your Christmas presents early.
Well do no such thing. Well wait I'M
til the last minute, and then We'll get
into the rush and have our toes step,
ped on. our skirts torn, our hats
crushed, our coats ripped and our col
lars wilted-but through it all Wen be
as happy as kids Just out of school.
This cold, calculating, tine-saving,
tnerve-conserving, mechanical method
iof observing the Christmas season
does not make a hit with u.s.
Now in theory the Commoners
view, which may be taken to be Mr..
Bryan's view, is very fitting and prop
ter, just as many other views expressed
by Mr.. Bryan and the Commoner are,
But 1t will not stand the strain of a
practical test. If everybody took tbs
advice SO joyously given by the Com,
moner there would be such rush and
jam at the last minute that few who
went through it would confess to be
ing as happy as kids just out 'f
school," The Christmas cheer and the
Joys of mingliDg with the holiday

presents are all stored under the beds

AS. TO BACHELORS.

The poor bachelor gets it on all
sides. Calumny has been heaped up
on him by the hosts of reform since
the day OF the first reformer, and no
one has dared to champion his cause.
A. st. Louis woman, Mrs. Leonora
Lake, makes the latest attack upon
him. Here is what she says:
1T is the bachelor who today is the
great evil Of America. 1t Is the
bachelor who fosters the rum evil and
who spends bis time in dives. 1t is
habits he learns as bachelor that
ruin him as a married man. Reformers
should drop the rum ell for awhile

So the bachelors might as we'll be
ready for it. Most any day the re-
formers are likely to rally around Mrs.
Lakes banner and swoop down upon
the defenseless celebate. And evident
~ there is to be no quarter. The man
whose bachelorhood is forced upon
him will stand on an even footing
