TO MAKE OR BREAK RESULTS.

There will be convention of repub-
licans held in Waterloo tomorrow. AT
present the only factional disturbance
that can arise Is the selection OF a
state central committee. 1t is more
than likely that the success of the Al
lison ticket in the primaries has car
ried with it enough standpatters IN
county delegations to give majority
Of the congressional districts to that
faction in the caucuses, even tho there
might be some uncertainty as to who
would control the convention as q
whole.
The time is opportune for modi-
cum of sanity in party management.
There is an election coming this fall.
The faction that was defeated polled
95. 900 votes, and was willing to abide
by the result, but the performance In
Chicago made great many OF them
mad. It would be an act of wisdom to
so conduct the coming convention as to
heal over some wounds. bunch OF
ss5 900 votes is no inconsequential fol-
lowing to be ignored or even to be an
tagonized.
The primary has given to the win
ming, faction the head of the ticket In
this state. The only thing that can
be fought for will be a state central
committee. For the success of the men
who have won nominations 1t would
be far better to have committee al
most evenly divided than to have one
at all one-sided, and an attempt to
make a clean sweep would probably re-
suit in disaster. 1t should if it does
not, for it certainly would not qualify
as good management.

shaw's Life Principle.
washington Starr

Leslie NJ. Shaw of Iowa, formerly
Secretary of the Treasury, has a
story on tap to fit almost every sit
uation that presents itself.
He was governor of Iowa when
President Roosevelt invited him to be-
come member Of his cabinet. He
went to Washington in response to a
summins from the White House. While
Mr.. 'ShaWs appointment had been
rumored, it had not been announced
officially. and a persistent rumor was
in circulation to the effect that he
would not accept the cabinet offer,
Several correspondents waited on Mr..
Shaw at his hotel to learn his inten-
tons regarding the matter.
'sWhen was boy" he said, "1
started off one day on fishing trip
with another boy. We had long
tramp to the fishing place, and as the
weather was warm we got very thirsty
and coming to farm house my COM
panion suggested that we stop and get
drink of water The lady Of the
house not only gave us dring out of
a nice tin dipper but insisted upon us
taking some pie. Bill, my companion,
took large piece, but from diffidence
or something, declined. Bill looked
at me with amazement
"Les,' he said, always help yourself
to pie when it is passing
'~That was pretty sound advice, and
I have acted on that principle eyer

BOSSES DO NOT RULE.

President Roosevelt has been ac-
cused Of "bossing" the Chicago con-
vention, and doubtless an effort will be
made by the opposition to argue that
| In doing SO political crime was COM
mitted.
It Is probably true that the presi-
dent exerted an influence on the work
accomplished in Chicago. In doing so
he exercised his right as a citizen, as
republican, and as a leader OF his
party But the convention was not
bossed by Roosevelt The nominee Of
the party had been decided upon by the
people weeks before the delegates as
sembled In Chicago. The convention
simply ratified the decision Of the rank
and file Of the republican party, moth
ing more. Primaries are becoming the
rule In many states, and thus the
bosses are being deprived of their
power and the exercise Of assumed
privilege.
The Chicago convention was not UNI
like a majority Of national conventions
of both parties in recent years. With
few exceptions, the nominee for presi-
dent has been known weeks in advance
and the conventions are little more
than { ratification meetings, with the
added. power OF defining the issues on
which the campaign will be waged.
The Forakers, the Platts, the Penroses
and those of their class who once may
have dominated and dictated have
been shorn Of their powers. and the
people rule.
Bryan will be nominated by the dem
ocrats at Denver.
His selection will mot be due to the
influence Of the party bosses, but
rather the reverse. Majority senti-
ment among the democrats both north
and south Is for Bryan for leader in
the coming contest, as it was for Taft
prior to the Chicago convention. The
charge of bossism is not justified. in
either instance.

TEASING THE BRIDE AND GROOM.

At Newton the other day, Robert
bod, contractor, and Mrs. Lillian
Morrison, a widow Of reputed wealth,
decided to get married. The time was
set for Q o'clock, and the place selected
was the home Of the bride, who is not
simply a woman of means, according
to the story. but is Z. business woman,
being engaged in handling abstracts.
They intended to start at once to the
Pacific coast on a wedding trip. but a
bevy Of busy bodies up at the court
house, hearing of the Joyful event,
planned to impede the progress of the
happy pair. 1t was arranged to ap-
propriately decorate the train on which
the bridal couple expected to ride with
banners, flowers, ancient footwear, rib
bons and other articles which would
indicate by no uncertain meaning that
there was bride and groom within.
The newly married couple intended
to take the train at Grinnen, and it
was at that point that arrangements
had been made for the decorations.
They started for Grinnell in an auto,
and the funmakers followed in another.
The bridal machine broke and the pair

endeavored to give their tormentors
the slip by going q Colfax in a good
auto. THE merry nskers went to Des
MONIES to hunt for them, but failed to
locate them.

you put 'em in a salt lake or pond.

CHICAGO LADIES TO FARM.
(Dougherty WORLDLY

And SO a number OF Chicago ladies'
are to take up land and so in for
artistic farming. Not scientific farm
ing merely tho that doubtless will
be continued, but artistic farming.
Why not? Women have gone into
artistic bookbinding and other sim
liar pursuits. They have their art
craft, and If they can now persuade
people that farming is one Of the fine
arts it will speedily become popular,
and "back to the land" will no longer
be an empty slogan. Soon we shall
see dairymaids and shepher1ssses ar
tistically arrayed in the fiction and
paintings of the eighteenth century.
Chicago has long aspired as an art
center. If 1t can only lift farming
into the realm of fine art its dream
will be realized and farmers sons and
daughters will everywhere rise up and
call it blessed.

/ therefore, the governor has always
been strong with organized labor. His
success at the convention mentioned
really marked the beginning of what
might be called his labor record.
His friends say that the working
men have been loyal to him in every
contest he made, and that their sup
port may be relied on in the coming
campaign.
1T would seem almost superf1uous
to remark that the president, with his
pre- eminent political astuteness. has
not overlooked the friendliness of labor
to Cummins; likewise it is only ration
al to assume that the weight of Secre-
tary Tafts judgment was thrown into
the scales to the advantage of the
governor.
Offsets Injunction Record
IF Taft is to be assailed because he
issued injunctions against labor lead
ers in the great American railway
strike decade and half ago-in-
functions which were never questioned
by a superior tribunal-and difficulty
is experienced In meeting them. Cum
Minis record will be pointed to as
guaranty of the kindly feeling of the
prospective administration toward the
wage earners. This, in the event Ia
Dor Is not satisfied that the anti-in-
junction plank placed in the platform
last night is sufficient evidence of Its
interest.
"Altho the so-called conservative ele-
ment of the republican party OF Iowa
stubbornly fought the proposal to nom
mate Senator Dolliver for vice presl-
dent, 1t is perfectly willing to acauiesce
in the nomination of the governor for
that office In fact, the men composing
this wing of the party are really FOR
him. Former Director of the Mint
George f. Roberts and Maurice d. o.
Cornell, solicitor of the treasury at
Washington, both rabid anti-Cummins
men. who were most emphatic In their
predictions that their state would go
democratic If Dolliver laid aside his
toga and Cummins sought to take 1t up,
approve the movement in behalf of the
latter for second place, which was
started in earnest last night.
these men and others identified
with their factions, have an idea that
the governor would no longer be an
obstacle to their control of the Iowa
political situation if he should be
transferred to Washington to preside
over the senate, altho they may be
mistaken in their conception OF the
result"
