/ Charles NJ Schwab, president of the
| Bethlehem Steel company, has closed
| his seven million dollar house in New
York because he says he is too poor
to live in it. He is going back to
| live in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, back
where he used to be so happy and so

and wife who loves him and knows
how to cook, can be happier than any

! Yes. great victory has been won in
the United States. Mr.. Carnegie paid
twenty thousand dollars to the cam
paign fund. Mr.. Rockefeller paid one
hundred thousand dollars to the cam
paign fund, the other managers of the
great corporation contributed freely
and they won a great victory for them
selves. Is there a man in the United
States who is not a fit subject for the
insaneN asylum who believes that they
contributed those large sums for any
other purpose than because it would be
to their own financial advantage to do
so? They are able f1nanciers and know
what they are doing. Was it for the
purpose of giving employment to the
three million American citizens now out
of employment in the United States :?
was 1T for the purpose of feeding and
clothing the three hundred thousand
needy children in the United States ?
Was it for the purpose of making the
deposits of poor men and widows safe
turnout this country? Was it for the
purpose of securing an income tax that
would compel nillionaires and cor
porations to pay their just share of
the tax! is 1t not apparent that they
made those contributions because they
desired special privilege from that ad :,
ministration and knew they would get
it. Yet it was a great victory for the
corporations but the brotherhood of
man was ignored in the conflict. One
minister in Newton last Sunday had
the courage to say that the election Of

LET'S BE 4GooD WINNERS

The ready acceptance of the majority
of standpatters, standpat newspapers
and those who have been bitterly OPP
posed to Governor Cummins, should be
taken by the victors for all that it is
worth. When the leaders of the Bit
come down town the morning after
with assurances that I'm Cummins
supporter this morning" they should be
met half way in welcome. So far as
Cummins is concerned. the fight is
over. He will be senator from Iowa.
There is no occasion to engage in re-
prisal against men who have given it
up and laid down their arms.
Some few there be who hint darby
things OF .he senatorial nominee. These
however. arc helpless in their desire
h ioIate agreements and nullify the
will of the republican voters. Their
predictions are born OF bitter disap-
pointment They know Cumnlins will
be one of the strongest and most be-
loved senators of those Iowa has sent
TO represent her in Washington. There
Is no need for anger or excuse for
reprisal upon these.

Let it be understood however that
-l1mmins and the reforms Cummins

Of the victory. Let none suppose that

principles OF the creed tlaC mas been
termed "cumnlinsism" by its opponents
in Iowa. The good work VIII go on;
perhaps not SO rapidly as it has done
in the past decade, for the work of the
past few years has left less to be ac-
conlplished. But it will go on Now
that the intense personal feeling that
has goaded some republicans into viru-
lence against the governor has to a
great degree lost its target it will go
on assisted and demanded by hundreds
of those who have been counted as
against it.
The hard loser can hide if his feel
ings thus incline him. He can be
grouchy if he chooses, that will be ex-
cused by the wise and condoned by
the sympathetic. The winner has plenty
over which to be happy, He has not
the slightest excuse to cry woe to the
vanquished' If he is big enough and
strong enough to deserve what he has
won, the best proof he can offer of his
desert is to drop the quarrel until new
occasion provokes it. And let us hope
that new occasion will not soon arise
in Iowa. Let's be good winners, not
humble, but good winners.
