cUMMINs DEFEATED IN IOWA.
(Minneapolis Journal.)

Governor Cummins appears to have
met his Bull Run in the Iowa senatorial
primary. The result Of Tuesday APP
peared to be foreshadowed In the pre-
cedfng contest for the control of the
national delegation. Cummins denied
that 1t had any bearing upon the state
fight. AS it looks now. the same repub-
licans who lined up against Cummins
then have lined up for Allison now,
and have beaten him. In beating him
for senator they have struck him two
blows in one, for the nominee of, the
republicans for governor Is also anti
Cummins. This means that If Allison
should die or retire during the next two
years the senator by appointment
would be not Cummins, but selection
of the standpat element in the party.
Governor Cummins has been a great
figure in the republican politics Of the
west. Fits defeat does not mean his
elimination. but It does mean that he
must begin at the bottom again out of
office and build up his Influence with
the voters anew. He will be obliged to
wait for chances and issues to do this.
Undoubtedly they will come for the
standpat element in the Iowa repub-
lican party is composed Of men who
believe in the machine. They will rule
Iowa as they ruled it before the adj
vent Of Cummins, from the railroad Of

MONEY FROM THE MAT.

| Commercialism and transforming
are not the only ways of amassing
wealth these days. Neither has the
Iowa farmer, with his model agricul-
tural acres, the most profitable line of
lifework Sports are getting to be a
means of piling up fortunes far be-
yond what was dreamed by the most
optimistic followers of athletics Of a
| comparatively few years ago.
Here's Iowas. own Frank Gotch,
whose success is being celebrated to-
| day in his home town, Humboldt,
where all his townsmen are fairly
grinning with delight because they
number among their citizens the
worlds champion wrestler. 1t is safe
to say that Gotch has lately been
making more than the $4,000 a year
awarded by the nation to its presi-
dent, which figure is time-Worn for
/ purposes of comparison.
This man is 80 years old, and since
his recent match with the Russian
"lion," George Hackenschmidt, whom
he threw in match lasting over two
hours, is in demand almost every
where on the globe, for merely exhibi-
ton purposes, to say nothing of the
various matches which have been Of
fered him. But the home demand for
l Full {oH
and he prefers for the present to re-
main in his native country-incident-
ally because it pays just as well, if not
better.
Gotch gets 500 per night from the
managers Of a vaudeville circuit in
which he is appearing. He has roy
atty from moving picture machines
which took views. of his match with
the Russian grappler which of itself
is more than comfortable income.
The machines number eleven and are
said to be rented at $1,000 per week
each, total of $1,000 and we are in
formed that Gotch's share of these re-
ceipts is 20 per cent, or $1,000 week
ly. Neither the vaudeville act nor the
moving picture income can be expected
to sustain the present figures indef1n-
itelv, but as long as Gotcf remains
undefeated it is safe to say that he
will have the income of a multimillion-
aire
We are told that he is temperate
and thrifty individual, and that he
saves and invests his money. This is
certainly very sensible in him and
greatly to be commended, especially in
view of the number of men engaged in
various lines of sports who let their
money go as easily as it comes. Gotch's
profits as a result of the recent cham-
pionship match should at a very mod

evenly divided he would have failed to
win, while fully 1880 more republicans
favored him at the primary than fav-
ored the other man. What is there
wrong about giving every voter his
say?
The Council Bluffs Nonpareil voices
the sentiments of the entire standpat
press when it says: "Dolliver can take
part in the next presidential campaign
as g. United States senator, quite as
effectively as he could as candidate
for the vice presidency"
The Burlington Hawkeye has
launched a campaign for the repeal Of
the state wide primary law which sug-
gests what Mr.. Blythe would like to
have done to the two-cent fare law and
other reform legislation. The Hawk
eye says:
"That the people of Iowa would rel
egate the state wide primary law to
the scrap pile, had they a chance to
vote on the subject just now, there can
be little doubt. The present law is cum
bersome. inadequate, unfair, expensive
and, some legal minds think, unconsti-
tutional."
Governor Cummins gave up law
practice worth $4,000 per year to him
when he entered politics. His return to
the practice will not be without Its
compensations. The people of Iowa
have. decided that they do not need
$4,000 lawyer at $4,000 salary.

NO PROTECTION FROM FIRE.

| How little do we provide for fire pro-
| lection to our farm buildings. In cities
and towns provided with Well-equipped
| and we'll trained fire departments, a
timely alarm generally suffices to sub
due u blaze so far as the owner of the
threatened property Is concerned. In
rural districts, however, it is different.
When a house or barn takes fire in the
country, in the majority of cases, the
building is totally destroyed, the occu-
| pant rejoicing if he is able to save Its
contents which, too, frequently is i'm
| possible.
| OF course the wise farmer has his
dwelling and outbuldings insured, us
| ually for an. amount sufficient to COW
err the expense of material and outside
labor necessary to replace them when
destroyed, but when everything Is con-
sidered, the fullest possible insurance
never covers all the loss sustained,
and in many cases only small part
of it.
Every newspaper reader is aware Of
the alarming frequency Of these disas-
trous fires, and, considering the alb
sence of any preparation for them. 1t
is surprising that they are not more
frequent Some time ago a farmer
who had recently erected a magnificent
barn and filled 1t with hay, grain and
other valuable property usually found
in such a structure, invited two visi-
tors to inspect the building. One OF
them remarked that he would remain
outside because OF his lighted pipe
pay any attention to that here" and
for twenty minutes the lighted pipe
was carried where an escaping spark
might mean the loss of a three thou
sand dollar building and it's contents.
There are said to be several forms of
portable fire extinguishers on the mar
ket. Every barn and outbuilding as
well as every farm residence ought to
be supplied with some of these chem
ical extinguishers They may not be
needed for years If ever-but when
they are needed they are worth often
times thousands of dollars. They are
safer and better than water. because
they can be handled by one person and
are ready for instant use. while water
in a well is practically almost useless,
and even water in an elevated tank is
a clumsy means of fire fighting unless
the place is supplied with abundant
hose easily and quickly available.

The conference of experts at Ames,

on the Falkland islands, where he was
consul OF the United States" says the
Burlington Hawkeye. "He is a states
man out of a job. and is coming home
because the consulate is to be ahol-

the falkland islands, but all the other
islands as a place of residence, as COM
pared with Iowa? Mr. Rowan is to be
congratulated upon the fact that the
change gives him aln opportunity to
