An Iowa Primary.

Senator Allison carried the republican primaries
of Iowa against Governor Cummns by 10000 ma
ority and will be elected United States senator to
succeed himself, although Governor Cummins rep
resents the reform element in Iowa that has three
times carried the party and the state
Senator Allison has been long time in the SEN
ate-onger than any other living man. and that is
about all that can be said in his praise He is a
corporation senator, the defender of predatory
wealth, the right hand man of the Aldrich- Elkns-
Foraker combination and strongly backed by the
railroad influence of his state.
He is everything that the dominant faction of his
party in Iowa is not. Yet the dominant faction su
tilted itself by permitting him to emerge from the
voting contest with strong majority against the
who is the personication of all that the faction
stands for, including "the Iowa idea" pertaining to
the revision of the tariff.
Mr.. Allison is anti-revisionist, in opposition
to the sentiment of his state although he does not
admit his position that issue, any other issue.
He is responsible for class legislation than any
other alive, his opportunities having been
greater through the habit the state of Iowa has fall
into of electing him every time his term expires.
The progressive republicans of his state could per-
form valuable service for the country at large by
uniting with the democrats on the legislative tickets

of power in the national senate and house of
representatives If that time ever comes they will
assert their power and demand that their right to
live their religion and practice polygamy unmo-
Tested anywhere in the United States shall be recog
nlzed The only way to avert that peril is to sub
init to vote of the states an amendment to the
constitution prohibiting poygamy and polygamous
cohab1tat1on recommended by President
Roosevelt i'll his message to congress year ago last
December.
AS the president has not been true at all times to
the position against polygamy occupied by him in
the message referred to- his vacation in the inter
est of party emphasizes the danger that moves the
Christian Advocate to urge the adoption of a con-
stltutional amendment to outlaw poygamists.
If Mormon influence trade the electoral vote
of state for recognition in the United States SEN
ate it may be time able to exchange something
political for the privilege of Giving its religion"
That, if achieved, would amount to national protec-
ton of the practice of polygamy, and if in state,
why not in all states?
1t would be better forestall the temptation that
may to some political party in power by the
enactment of a country wide law making polygamy
national crime, punishable under the laws of the
nation. Such provision would halt the progress of
Mormonsm, which would be useless to its votares
without the privilege of accumu1atng wives and it
would then speedily disappear from the face of the
earth
poygamy Brigham Young and his apostles were
quick to adopt his idea and succeeding prophets and
apostles have maintained it with Jealous loyalty to
the faith that commands many wives for the faithful
The with which the Salt Lake hierarchy ne
gotiated with the republican party for seat in the
United States senate for the polygamst teacher,
Smoot, ought to fix the attention Of the people of
the nation at large upon the to all the states
in the growth of that has no other excuse
for existence than the expectation that it may
time be licensed for the general practice of poly
gamy
The Christian Advocate recognizes the danger
and puts forth a plea for amendment to the fed
eral constitution providing adequate punishment for
the crime of poygamy anywhere within the jurisdc-
ton of the general government.
1t is not fair to place upon few new mountain
states the burden of conflict for the suppression of
crime for which the entire nation is responsible.
But for the negligence of the United States govern
ment there would be no polygamy in Idaho today.
1t is therefore the duty of all the people of the
United States to unite with Idaho in accomplishing
he suppression of the evil that was delivered full
grown to Idaho by the government of the United
States.

TRYING ID STIR UP
 ROW IN MEXICO Enemies of Americans Are Sowing Seeds of Discomfort IRRESPONSIBLE CAMPAIGN Capital Has Been Made of the FIeet,s Stay at Maedaena and the Fact
 That Many Criminals Are
 In Mexico.
IRRESPONSIBLE CAMPAIGN

Washington, April 5.-While the official relations between the United States and Mexico were never more cordial than now and there is nothing in material in- terests or desires of either country which conflicts in the slightest degree with the other officials of the American state de- partment have become suddenly aware of the existence and rapid growth of a public sentiment in Mexico of distrust and suspicion of Americans and Ameri- can intention respecting Mexican terri tory
 This condition is made more exasperat- ing, but none the less harmful and em- barrassng, from the fact that it is en- tirely gyoundless in fact, and the officials declare has for it's basis nothing but irresponsible newspaper gossip and criti- cism. Such, for instance as a lurid de- scription of Magdalena bay, where the fleet has just concluded target practice, with hint thrown in that the location and natural surroundings are ideal for a naval rendezvous and target practice and that the place ought to be bought from Mexico. Just such comments as this. printed without the least official inspira- tion or sanction, wholly misrepresenting actual conditions, are believed by Ameri- can officials to be entirely responsible for the distrust rapidly developing in Mexico The officials also assert that southern and western newspapers have indulged in what is regarded here as unnecessary criticism relating to the extradition of criminals, have magnified labor troubles in Mexico and made comments irritating In character regarding the control of the Colorado river as a boundary stream
 Added to the accumulation, and per- haps the only thing which is complained of officially by Mexico is the seeming security and asylum afforded here to per- sons regarded in Mexico as conspirators and revolutionary agitators.
 Knowing the cordiality and sincerity between the two governments, the lack of desire for any portion of Mexican territory and the vigilance which is be- ing exercised against harboring Mexican propagandists. American officials feel the more keenly their lack of ability to cope with a situation entirely out of official control, but none the less chargeable to the nation.
 Attention is called to the fact that the comment which has been indulged in by the American press has found it's way into and been repeated in Mexico, where the construction placed on it has been serious and the feeling engendered de- cdedly hurtful. If allowed to continue most disastrous results are predicted.

 Among the members of the late MT. Moves family present were two sons, Frank B. Moves of Chicago. president of the Associated Press, and Theodore w. Noyes assistant editor of the Washington Star. Also present were number of the
 members of the Oldest Inhabitants asso- citation of Washington, of which MT. Moves was a member
 The speakers dwelt upon the high place Mir. Moves made for himself in journal ism, of his stand for clean methods. Vice
 President Fairbanks said it is fin the highest degree important that here at the national capital where our laws are en- acted. that the men who preside over our
 journals should be lofty in purpose and of incorruptible integrity" Such man, the vice president said, MT. Moves was.
 Secretary Root drew a lesson from the life of MT. Moves, which, he said, it would be well for the young men of the coun- try to emulate Let them know said the secretary that good citizenship is
 honored Let them know that pure and upright life is honored. Let them know that to speak and to write and to teach the truth without swerving is an honor. It is well that our people should understand that such a memory as we here testify to can be left by man who has held no public office; that our young men snoulu understand that it is not necessary Tor them to become President or cabinet of ficer or senator or judge In order to be honored and loved
 "The great need of peaceful prosperity of justice of humanity depend not upon the men in high office, not upon the men whose extraordinary and exceptional aoii- ities enable them to do great deeds, but it depends upon the loyal citizens or America, upon such lives as Crosby stu art Moves led"

PLUCKY WOMAN
 KILLS A BURGLAR Negro Enters House and Is Shot Through the Head DESPERATE FIGHT ENSUES Assailant Climbs Into Window and Grabs Aged Man, But His Daugh-
 ter Shoots Negro After
 Several Attempts.

Montgomery, April 5.-Mrs. Ed Jones, a prominent woman of this city, shot and killed negro burglar at her home here at o clock this morning.
 At the time the shot was fired the bur- glar was engaged in hand-to-hand struggle with her aged father, Barney Rhody, and was attempting to pull him out through window, where a negro confederate stood to aid the burglar
 The inmates of the house were aroused by noise just under MT. Rhody's win dow. Mrs. Jones went into her fathers room to investigate, and in so doing aroused her father, who was still asleep. Upon awakening MT. Rhody threw open the window and was seized by the bur glar, and a desperate struggle then en- sued. Miss Maud Rhody. a younger sister with an iron rod, which sine used with telling effect upon the negro, who never for an instant however, relaxed his hold upon MT. Rhody.'
 Seeing her father about to be overcome and dragged through the window, Mrs. Jones pointed her pistol at the negro s head and pulled the trigger, but to her dismay the rusty revolver only snapped. Coolly readjusting her aim the deter mined woman again pulled the trigger, and when there was no explosion from the weapon she prayed in despair, but tried third time. With the fourth pull of the trigger there was resounding dis charge of the revolver that drowned the crash of blows which rained on the ne- gros head from the iron rod. which was still being used by the younger sister. The negro fell back into the yard with d bullet in his brain and died soon after.

 We have nothing to gain by treaty with Colombia. We never go to that country, while, until luckily we have more than enough ColomDlans here If the United States wants a Fanama- Colombia treaty it should impress upon the Coom- bians the necessity of complying with the provisions of the canal treaty. It is not fair that Panama should always give and never receive anything for the sacrifices the canal has cost us."

The bills, embodying the recommendation of Governor Hughes to this effect are a special order in the senate for Wednesday. The legislative leadership profess to believe that the bills will be undoubtedly passed and sent to the governor for approval.
 In postponing final action upon the measures Senator Raines, the majority leader at whose personal request the date was fixed, virtually made himself responsible for their passage, and he admits no doubt that this will be the result.
