THE DIFFERENCES IN THE MORNING.

In an editorial article republished
in another column referring ITO q
movement on foot to elect Mr.. Lacey
into the long term and bunko Cummins
out of it, the Cedar Rapids Repub-
lican says it has heard Of such sug-
gestion, and also has heard that few
men about headquarters in Des Moines
were unreconciled That paper points
contemptuously to the source OF the
noise thus:
One space-writer in Des Moines has
been filling certain outside papers, like
the Minneapolis papers, with that sort
of stuff. He gets paid so much
column for it and 1t is certainly
astounding and sensational enough to
attract attention and to secure publi-
cation. But there is not a word of
truth in it,
1t may be in rather bad taste to re-
fer to bygones in this hour OF mutual
ttust and harmony, but the recollec-
ton that this space writer" once had
the entree to every standpat-if the
term standpat is now permissible -
paper in Iowa recurs irresistably.
He was Just as truthful then
as he is now, just as careless
of being paid for space filled as he
is now, quite as astounding then as
now. The space-writer of today was
dignified into a political writer then
by need of him and his ilk. He per-
haps begins to- realize why men en-
ploy scavengers today and request
them to stand from between them and
the wind tomorrow.
However. bygones are bygones. at
least during. good behavior. There is
not the slightest doubt that the men
in the standpat faction propose to
stand squarely by the result of the
primary. The scavengers are annoy
ing, somewhat noisome, but entirely in
cidental.

THE FACES OF the POOR.

In the midst of the corn harves,

bounteous crops and the prospects OF
continued prosperity comes a stor,

and cold IN land of plenty ano
among IL full fed and happy people
Arriving to the authorities for aid he
seems tu have been given scanty con-
sideration. He was sick, starving
1reezine OF course he died. Then
the officers awoke to the gravity OF the
case. The man had been dying and
they had neglected him.
Men ought not be permitted'to die
of starvation in land of fairness such
as Iowa. That human being should
die thus in an Iowa city. is an indict-
ment, not only of that particular city
hut of the state 1t doesn't matter how
he came to be hungry and exhausted
and dying. Time enough to inquire
| into that when he had been fed and
warmed. Here was a human being
sick and starving in the center of COM
fort and luxury surrounded by thou
sands of other human and naturally
humane beings. And they let him die
We have not forgotten the lesson
of the good Samaritan. We are only
neglecting it. The authorities in Bur-
lington are as we'll disposed as those
anywhere else and the people of that
city as kindly and as quick to pity ano
relieve. We have all fallen into a
carelessness of the very poor, the sick
worn out. discouraged, the down and
outs. We feed them when we must
in a perfunctory fashion that COM
mends us little to each other and less
to God We do not mean to be cruel;
we only forget that carelessness OF
human suffering is superlative cru
city.
For our own ease of mind, If for
no other and better reason we should
take more heed to the unfortunate.
Success, even partial success, has its
responsibilities. Police, magistrate, Cit
izen need a change in their attitude
toward the clown and out" whether
they are down and out by misfortune
or thru elaboration. None ever falls
low enough to be beyond pity or rises
high enough to deny that he is his
brothers keeper. The face society
turns toward the unfortunate and the
criminal classes is spur to anarchy.
