PASSING OF CummINs.

There can be no question but that the
recent primary means the weakening
of Gov. Cummlns as moving factor
in the politics of Iowa. Much as
this may be regretted by his friends.
it is nevertheless fact that the pass
ing of no single individual is of vast
Importance. Some day Iowa will be
obliged to stand the shock of the
death of both the recent candidates
for Senator.
1t would be calamity however if
the healthy radicalism which the best
class of Cummins supporters repre-
sent should also pass from the stage.
In Iowa. democracy long since lost
its function as an opposition party
sufficient strength to be effective, and
the Progressives took that place.
In this line the Progressives have
accomplished much. They have lift
ed the state out of the rut of railroad
and corporation control and despite
the pessimistic view which many dis
appointed ones will doubtless take W
doubt if Iowa will ever return to that
complete and debasing servitude
which characterized it fifteen and
twenty years ago.
Gov. Cummins was defeated by the
ambitions of his friends. Successive
campaigns created obligations which
he could not we'll deny. Mr.. Prouty
had rendered signal service and the
Governor was forced to endorse him
electing Prouty, but losing hundreds
of votes or himself. The imaginary
service rendered by Mr. Woods as
state chairman, prevented Gov. Cum.
minis from requesting that he with
draw. In the same way persona
ambition brought Pickett and Good
into the field and incurred for the Gov
,ernor the active opposition of Birdsal
and Cousins and their friends. These
congressional fights alone are enough
TO account for the Governor s defeat
In the l0th district the same en-
ergy employed to elect Cummins tina
was used to defeat Conner would hav,

THE PREVENTIVE OUNCE

We have been cautioned so much
of late that we have taken an overdose
of honesty at the hands of the Presi-
dent that there is danger that the
conservatives will overdo the matter.
1t will require some time to edu-
cate the masses to a belief that the
law against highway robbery should be
temporarily suspended. There is danger
that the shrewd political wire -puller
may carry the return wave too far.
Democracy carried it too far with
its ''safe and sane candidate four
years ago.
The nomination of Taft on an
emasculated platform will not be
strong with the voters. The nomina-
tion of Roosevelt on Roosevelt plat
form would be the wisest course the
Republican party could pursue. The
nomination of Taft on Roosevelt plat
form would satisfy the majority of
the voters, but the nomination of Taft
ON Joe Cannon-Aldrich platform
would be little short of suicide.
Iowa politics prove that it is much
better to compromise on candidates
than to compromise on principles.
Every compromise Iowa republicans
have ever made where principle was
involved has weakened the party as
whole. That two factions could
fight for months and then. for the
sake of party, snuggle down on a
platform in which either one or both
of the factions did not believe. has
helped to bring party ties into con-
tempt with the average voter.
There is danger that conservatism,
glutted with recent successes, will
alright the voter who has not been al
together displeased with the Roosevelt
system of giving honest men their
dues and dishonest men their dues
| likewise.

The Cedar Rapids Republican
speaks rather boastfully of the reced-
ing wave. the wave of conservatism,
the backward step. 1t cites US to
Iowa and to the Georgia primary in
which Hoke Smith. prohibition and
railroad control were all repudiated.
The Republican seems to gloat over
the fact that the people are not
steadfast in their desire for reform
and that the corporations are about to
come into their own once more. The
Republican can congratulate itself
that it has never receded in it's own
work for reform. An advance is a
prior requisite to any recession.
Neither can the Republican be &C.

GLADYS GREY SEEKS DIVORCE
Actress Takes Stand In Her Suit
Against Middlebury Husband.

Middlebury, Jan. 20-Considerabl,
interest was manifested here toda,
when the ease of Mrs. May Tyrell, 4
former Middlebury girl, now playing
with the Lorne Elwyn company under
the name OF Gladys Grey, was called in
Addison County court.
The actress seeks divorce from her
husband, William A. Tyrell of this
town, on the ground of refusal to sup.
port. She left Middlebury five years
ago TO join the company Of which she
is member, and has appeared in re-
pertoire plays throughout the country
and frequently in this state.
William A. Tyrell, who is stone
cutter, did not appear in court and was
not represented by counsel. Mrs. Ty.
rell took the witness stand, Attorney
James h. Donaway conducting her
case. She was put through rigid ex.
animation by Judge Miles for more
than an hour. The court then took the
matter under Amusement, no decision
being announced.
