ACKNOWLEDGING DEFEAT.

AS an evidence of the hopelessness
in the Allison cause as viewed by his
own partisans the Cedar Rapids Re-
publican has this to say of the pri-
mary law:
Dispatches emanating from Des
Moines corroborate the oft repeated
assertion, that the primary election law
is nothing more or less than a skill
fully covered pitfall, designed in the
interest of the senatorial aspirations of
Governor Cummins and for the pur-
pose of catching the unwary demo-
cratic vote at the June primary"
If the primary law was designed in
the interest Of Governor Cummins'
senatorial aspirations 1t will be be-
cause majority Of the republican vot-
ers Of the state express preference
for him as their candidate. Under
the provisions of the Jaw no democrat
can have his vote recorded for Cum
Minis without he deliberately chooses
to vote republican ballot and only
republican ballot. Under the old eau
Gus system he could enter a republic
can ward caucus without losing his
opportunity to take part in the dem
ocratic caucuses later. But Cumnins
has been winning under the old system
and the new law was devised to make
it Impossible for democrats to vote
on republican nominations. 1t could
hardly be expected that the law would
seek to prevent a majority of the re-
publican electors voting as they please.

LIVESTOCK GROWERS ATTENTION.

Judge Cowan, of Texas, was the at
torney who appeared before the inter-
state commerce commission represent
ing the Texas Cattle Growers Assoc
citation. He was then retained to fight
for rate regulation in behalf of the
National Livestock Association. His
work was Of such force and effective
ness that President Roosevelt used him
as a confidential advisor in the fight
for the rate regulation bill. Now Judge
Cowan writes to the farm paper edi-
tor in Iowa, Henry Wallace, stating
that the fight for rate regulation is
only begun, that the law must be fur
Their improved, and that the livestock
interests of the country need friend
in the senate like Governor Cummins.
He says:
Please write me about the progress of
the senatorial fight in Iowa. Governor
Cummins is, candidate for the sem
ate, and l hope you are able to give
him your active support. When he APP
peared some three years ago before
the senate committee on interstate
commerce, in the hearings on the rail-
road question, l became impressed that
he was one of the few men who
seemed to understand the great ques-
ton that was before the country, and
to have both the legal knowledge and
the courage to take the peoples side
In effective manner, against the trans
portation companies. Such men in
public life are singularly scarce. l
have watched his career since, and
observed that your state legislature
has enacted some of the best laws in
country, along this same line Of cor
poration control and regulation of
transportation. l can not but assume
that your governor must have had to
do with these things; and the oppor-
tunity Of his coming to the senate
stock and farmers interests. The peo-
pies side Of these questions needs
men with his legal experience and ca
pacity, uninfuenced by the habit"
standing for the interests of compro-
missing away the rights of the public.
He is not the sort of man to be driven
to panic by the mention Of c onsti-
tutional difficulty. or the fear that
watered stocks may get dividend.
He knows all about the constitution
and It's interpretations. He would be
q tower Of strength in the coming
fight, which,is going to last for good
many years before it is settled; for it
will not be settled till it is settled
right; that is to give actual investment
what it is fairly entitled to, but to pro-
tect the public against pillage.

as wise part Of the plan OF creation

days than formerly. but people in lat
er life die younger. Once arrived at
adult age, the average man or woman
mas fewer years of survival to expect.
This seems on the face OF 1t so sur
prising q statement that in order to be
accepted 1t should be backed up by
data authentic and indisputable. Such
data are furnished by the figures OF
the insurance companies (Which all
agree on the point), but it is easier to
refer to the government census reports,
which tell the tale in simple and con-
vincing fashion. Even during the
last fifteen years the death rate among
both sexes has risen very consider
ably
Health cultures statement must be
accepted as fact And here again
nature works out q problem hard to
understand. Unquestionably what Is
known as civilization does shorten the
life of the present product OF the times
we live in. Nature formerly had full
sway with the young, in fact does yet
in uncivilized communities. The sur
vival Of the fttest Is no idle dream.
But we laud ourselves with the figures
of the Iessened death among children,
forgetting that nature silently works to
undo our artificial results. The incu-
bator saved child increases the in
surance company's death rate fifty
years afterward. The Indian papoose
that escapes with his life from un-
natural food as we call 1t, from the
rigors Of winter when not sufficiently
clothed, does not increase the census
reports of death from pneumonia two
generations afterwards. Our present
customs and procedure previous to and
at the time of child birth are humane
in the extreme. but the weddings thus
saved by the thousands, do not grow
into the stock of the German peasants
family.
And so we are forced back to the
general proposition, man makes little
permanent improvement on natures
work in the animal or vegetable king
methods of reproduction. Nature is
wasteful apparently in a surplus Of
seed. Nature apparently only gives life
to destroy 1t, this in the millions Of
cases where life is barely OF seconds
duration. Nature seems to take de-
light In the humiliation Of the young
at every step. Famine. pestilence, war
and disease are with the human FAM
fly every hour. They are always fac
tors in the destruction Of the lower or
der Of the animal creation. In the
vegetable world the elements conspire
to kill off all life. Early frosts de-
stroy the blossoms, late frosts the ma
ture fruit. Drouth and sunshine in the
extreme destroy the work OF the farm
er. In word nature seems to waste
a vast amount Of energy to produce
results. $3.50

LOGAN IS
INSANE

w. r. Logan of Glenwood Springs,
the well known loan agent who has
been visiting this city for many years,
has been declared insane in Glen
wood Springs and has been sent to
the asylum.
There are few men better known
in western Colorado than W. r. Lo-
gan. For many years he was en-
gagged in the newspaper business at
Buena Vista, conducting the Chafee
County Republican. He then en-
gagged in the loan business and had a
large business throughout all of west
ern Colorado.
The announcement that he has
been adjudged insane will be received
here with the greatest surprise, as
he has never been known to act
strangely and there was not the
slightest suspicion that he was men
tally unbalanced.
He was a man of very fine dispo-
sition and numbered his friends by
the thousands. Several years ago he
removed from Buena Vista to Glen
wood Springs and has conducted his
business from that point for the past
few years.

MORE RADICAL THAN ANY
HEARST'S OWN PARTY
IBy Associated Press. I


Chicago, July 2S.-The indepen-
dence party, which last night
launched itself fully into American
politics by opening it's first national
convention, was early today engaged
in the construction of platform and
the selection of it's first presidential
candidate.
The enthusiasm shown at last
nights meeting was taken by the
leaders as a happy omen, and they
labored today with great cherfulness.
Whether or not the nomination is
to be the result of dictation from any
source, there is no possible doubt
that the platform will be the outcome
of decision entirely free from dicta-
ton from any sort. Planks by the
dozens on every question shave been
rained upon the committee. The
general sentiment favors more rad
ical expression on the labor injunc-
tions than either the democratic or
republican platforms.
Californians are strongly pressing
for a forcible declaration against AS
iatic immigration and strong plank
on this subject is looked for. 1t is
also probable that financial plank
in favor of the issuance of all money
direct by the government instead of
through national banks will be in
corporated. The overcapitalization of
industrial enterprises will be de-
nounced.
Despite Mr.. Hearst's repeated dec
larations not to accept the nomina-
tion for the presidency, the Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey delegations
have decided to vote for him, and
New York will do so at the first op-
portunity.
The friends of Thomas Hisgen,
Judge Reuben Lyon of New, John
Temple Graves and Milton w. How
ard of Alabama all express confidence
in the success of their candidates.

ARM NEARLY
BLOWN OFF

very deplorable accident oc-
Cured this morning to one of a par
ty of campers who were returning
home from Enoch's lake, where they
had been camping for several weeks
past.
Roland Pemberthy, while attempt
ing to pull shotgun from the bot
tom of the wagon in which the par
ty were retur ming, received the full
load of shot, the accident being
caused by the trigger getting caught
in the wagon in some manner, eX-
ploding same
In the party, which was under the
chaperonage of H. r. Pemberthy, who
was driving the team and an uncle
of the young man who was shot, were
Misses Ruth Newton, Louise Mat
thews, Gladys Wells and Laura
Rhone, besides Roland Pemberthy
and Walter Hatch.
The party had taken an early
start and were probably 20 miles
from this city, driving along in all
merriment, when a squirrel was no.
ticed running along the road.
The young ladies' thought it would
be great fun to shoot the little AM
NAL, and Roland Pemberthy, after
the team had been stopped, started
to pull the gun from the bottom of
the wagon when he received the full
load of buckshot in his left arm be-
low the elbow
The arm was frightfully shattered
and the young man, who is only 1G,
but very tall for his age, suffered
great agony
Every possible aid was gwen the
young man, but he still suffered very
greatly
Walter Hatch mounted a horse,
which was being led, and rode to this
city as fast as he could to obtain the
services of a doctor, and, when the
party reached point about miles
south of the Gunnison bridge, DR..
Day met them and dressed the shat
tered arm as well as it was possi-
BILE to do at the time.
He was brought to this city and
taken to the home of his father, A.
NJ. Pemberthy, at the corner of Firth
and Ute streets, where he was given
the best of attention by DR.. Day.
This afternoon DR.. Day and another
physician were in consultation, and
it may be necessary, owing to the
nature of the wound, to amputate the
boys arm.
The accident threw a gloom over
the very merry party which had had
a splendid outing.
DR.. Day said that all that could be
done had been done by the young
ladies to make comfortable their
young companion.

LOVE CERTAINLY FOUND
WAY TO WEDDING
Especial to The sentsnelN

Cripple Creek, Colo, July 2S.-A
marriage at the county Jail occurred
under unusual circumstances last ev-
ening when Professor Hans Albert, a
local character, and Miss Grace Had
sell of Ottumwa, Ia, daughter of
United States Marshal Hadsell, were
declared man and wife by Rev In
man, a Methodist minister of Gold
field, Colo.
Albert's arrest was caused Satur-
day by the girls father to prevent
the marriage, the charge being in
sanity.
Last evening, after Judge Thomas
had ordered the man s removal to the
Work sanitarium, Pueblo, Miss Had
sell, in company with Miss Sween-
ey and the minister, visited the Jail
and asked to see her lover The re-
quest was refused by the jailer, who,
regarding the incident closed, went
upstairs. During his absence a box
was procured and placed outside of
Albsrt's cell wintaw.
Miss Hadsell mounted the box and
clasping her lovers hand through the
window was made his wife.
A license had been secured several
days previous.
Deputy District Attorney C. A. Gil
lette declares the marriage illegal
and void, since Albert has been pro-
nounced insane by the court some
months earlier.
Miss Hadsell stated last night that
had they apot been allowed to marry
both would have su'cided, as a pact
had been entered into by the couple.
