EASTERN OFFICE
BRYAN AND SULLIVAN.

1t is possible that the tremendous
faith of some democrats in MI Bryan
fearless devotion to principle will be
given slight shock when they learn
that he has offered the olive branch to
Roger G.. Sullivan, the Illinois leader,
upon whom he cast such contumely
and bitter invectice year or more ago.
Mr.. Bryan is quoted as saying that
the contest between Sullivan and him
self has been dropped and that he Is
ready to accept Sullivan as good
democrat if he Is able to retain lead
ership of Illinois democrats. Yet it Is
not so long ago when Bryan, who was
not then so formidable q candidate for
the nomination of his party, and whose
hopes OF ever reaching the white house
II object to him (Sullivan) as a polti-
cal associate, My political asset is the
confidence the people have in my sin
certify, and do not want to have that
confidence shattered by intimacy with
men of his political methods" Perhaps
Mr. Bryan has found that Mr. Sullivan
has reformed and has been born anew
in the political world? Or can it be
that the Nebraskan's ambition to be-
come president has made him less SEN
sitive to the principles of his political
associates? Possibly the value of his
political assets have changed with the
needs of the hour. Sullivan as po-
litical opponent when Bryan was not
looking for anything and Sullivan as
an opponent in practical control of u
l,nois democrats when Bryan needs his
support, seem to have been two diff
ferent propositions.

THE RURAL HIGH SCHOOL.


More and more does the farmer
realize that if a high school educa-
ton is a good thing for the children
Of his brother who dwells i'm the city
it will be no less a good thing for his
own children And the boys and the
girls from the farms are very much
in evidence In our city high schools.
And while they may not be strong on
social affairs and may not go in for
fraternities, they generally stand very
we'll toward the front in their classes.
The farmer. as a rule, is a pretty
good hand at figuring. And he has ar
rived at the conclusion that the city
high school is costing him considerable
money. He also finds that larger
number Of children from the country
would attend high school IL the high
school could be brought to them, In
stead Of taking them to the city.
And so the demand for country high
schools is springing up. And here and
there In Iowa in well-settled commu-
mites. rural high schools are to be es-
tablished and no doubt ere many years
have passed the rural high school will
be found everywhere in Iowa, and It
will be attended by the brightest boys

ENDORSED BY THE PEOPLE.

One of the things which was not
vention at bes Moines is that of leg
allied reduction in railroad rates.
The reason why the men who di-
rected affairs at Des Mones did no.
ndorse this reform and utter congrat-
ulations on those who have brought 1t
about, is SO obvious that no person
need be reminded of the fact. The
abolition OF the political pass is close
ly linked with the reduction in pas
senger fares. and there are persons,
it must be remembered who bemoan
the fate of the pass.
But the 2-cent fare has come to stay.
There has been great increase in
travel since the 2-cent fare went into
effect. Perhaps it was not all due to
the lowering of rates; but some of the
increase can be traced to that source
beyond question. The railroad COM
panies claim that there has been less
money received from passenger fares
than in other years. This may be
true. Their estimate of an average OF
just trihe over 2 cents as their re-
ceipts from passenger travel, counting
in the free passes and all, may have
been inaccurate. But the loss of in
come has been in fact comparatively
slight.
The fact is that the railroad COM
panies are not going to be able to con-
vince anybody, even a southern Iowa
U. s. court. that the present low rate
is contiscatory. They had said all
along that it would be confiscatory and
on-remunerative. Neither is true.
The rate is here to stay. And the pass
is gone.
But there is an Endorsement of this
condition of affairs, this splendid re-
form, which need not be overlooked.
1t is the Endorsement Of the common
people. The political manipulators
will not say a good word for the re-
form. But the people will give the re-
form their Endorsement in a manner
most emphatic. And if the people ap-
preciate this reform it matters little
what the politicians think about it.

CLOSE TO HARMONY.

Iowa republicans have differences Of
opinion as to policies and persons, as
to methods and men, as to platforms
and candidates But after all these are
differences easily removed.
They are today practically united In
support of Judge Taft for president
Some of them would prefer some 9TH
err man for president Some of then
feel that Taft is not the man. The
majority are unquesttonably not only
satisfied with Taft but are earnestly
for him not only because of his charm
ing personality and his good fellow
ship, but because they believe in the
things that he does. Iowa republicans
have not found it impossible to agree
as to candidate for president.
Then as to principles, be it recalled
that for several years the majority OF
Iowa republicans have been earnestly
insisting upon an examination of the
tariff schedules with q view to revision
to perfect the tariff system and te
make it conform more nearly, if that is
possible, to the republican ideal. A
minority have opposed this. Upon
this disagreement factional division
has been made.
But this week Iowa republicans who
eta, IN .isfinO that tar
|iff Schedules ought not to be touched
have Joined with the advocates Of tar
if revision in placing the party in this
state squarely upon the platform OF
Mckinley, Roosevelt, Taft and Cum
minis. A way has been found to
eliminate that element of apparent dis
cord.
At the state convention only one
disagreement arose and that was over
the personality Of ambitious men. I,
was first shown in the vote to seat in
the convention a delegation from Bur
lington "headed by j. W. Blythe" The
majority in control of the convention
carried the motion. 1t was equivalent
to a formal welcome back to leadership
of the party Of the man who for sew
eral years has been In at least partia
eclipse. It was so understood and was
SO intended. That is a purely per-
sonal matter.
This personal disagreement was
shown a second time in vote to in
struct Iowa republicans how they
should vote at the primary, or perhaps
how the legislators should vote OH the
senatorial matter despite the primary
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1908-03-20

and possibly in defiance of the will OF
the republicans. 1t was vote to IN
struct as to a matter which had not
been submitted to the republicans for
which no test had been made. Again
it was personal matter, relating
wholly to one candidate for office, and
the vote was taken for and against
injecting into a convention without
reason, strictly personal matter re-
ating to the choice of the people In
leadership.
Upon both Of these propositions, both
personal rather than political the vote
was substantially the same Every per-
son who voted against a formal well
come of the return of corporation boss
ism in Iowa voted against having the
state convention forestall the voters in
the matter of their choice for senator.
The pathway to perfect harmony
ought to be plain. Now it is men
rather than principles who stand in
the way of harmony. The ambitions of
men serve to divide the party. II these
ambitions We're put away there would
then be no reason for factionalism. If
men We're content to leave the choice
of candidates to the people them
selves, to permit the greatest freedom.
to observe the primary law in letter
and in spirit, a long step would be
taken toward elimination of all differ
ences.
Iowa republicans are very close to
that harmony about which Il good deal
has been said by persons who don't
want any kind of harmony. If at the
primary the republicans choose candi-
dates who represent the principles
which have now been fully agreed upon
as sound then there will be harmony
and 1t will last.

THE EVE OF LIFE.
flDes MoiueS Tribune.

1t is not necessary that man should
die when he reaches an age which UNI
fits him for active physical and mental
labor 1t is then that he should be
able to quaT the sweetest nectar from
life's cup. unless he is the victim of
incurabe disease or racking pans.
Such "a philosophy as that advocated
by Osler and Meredith would extract
from life its sweetest anticipations
and rob men of that ambition ana
hope which nerves their hands ana
brain to the best achievements

Cedar Rapids fully justify the expec-
tations of those who were confident
that when participation in government
was given to the voters they would
embrace the opportunity as they never
did when government was two or three
degrees removed from them by eau
cuses, convention and legislatures. The
vote in each city is said to have been
as large as in any general election. 1t
is of LEGS present Importance that the
voters chose wisely among the cand-
dates than 1t is that they came out to
express their choice. A sense of per-
sonal responsibility for the character
and fitness Of candidates will develop
under practice.
