Tama. May 2.-Ex- Senator E. G.
Penrose, of this place, is stand
patter, so called, but Mr.. Penrose is a
man with the welfare of the republi-
can party at heart, hence he depre-
Gates the efforts of some the would
be members of the next legislature
to annul the primary law. by an
nouncing their intention, if elected, of
casting vote for United States SEN
ator as the preference of their county
is shown on the ballots. Mr.. Penrose
prefers to have William b. Allison
his own successor, but following the
example of his candidate, he is will
ing to have the votes of the whole
state settle the matter. For this as
we'll as many other reasons Mr.. Fen
rose retains the respect and good feel
ing OF many "progressives" who are
working hard to send Mr.. Cummins
to the senate.
Just why the average westerner, not
to say Iowan, has the same feeling
towards "a plug hat" that a bull has
for red flag, is hard to explain, but
it is true. A man wearing a silk hat

men in the east sport the tall hat
none of them out here dare to do it
that is, while on duty. There is
vague report that one or. two travel
ing men living in Marshalltown have
been known to wear one Sunday while
attending church services, that is 60
ing and coming, but when the story is
run down and names mentioned. their
going to church is as improbable as
the story of the hat. SO when last
Monday a gentleman entered c. &
n. w. smoker. with a leather hat box
in his hand, there was great uneasi-
ness shown Several knights of the
grip put on immedia tely a knowing
smile The very suspicion that there
was a silk hat in the car, even inside
the box. stirred up bad feeling. What
might have happened will never be
known. for the brakeman settled mat
tiers when he went thru the car, ac-
cidentally (?) kicking the hat box
across the car. whereupon the owner
carefully picked it up and returned
to the ladies' car. He didn't care to
smoke.

How altogether perfect and beautiful
and full of promise.
And then came the bitter. pitiless
hail. The branches tossed In anguish,
the trees bowed their heads in grief,
and the tiny petals were beaten beat

And where was life and joyance
and beauty and the carolling of
birds and the sounds of childish voices
at their play beneath the fragrant
branches. succeeded the GOODNESS and
the desolation of death. The trees
stand bare and gaunt and gloomy.
Gone are the flowers that made them
beautiful. gone is the promise of the
fruitage.
They seem to cry out to us in an
agony of spirit, they seem to implore
the cruel north wiu to take them
too. For it is the greatest tragedy
that. having lost their all, they still
must live. barren mockeries of the
glorious. throbbing. life giving parent
trees they might have been.
This is the tragedy OF the tree.
Why it is so, God knows, we cannot
tell.
For the human heart the tragedy
would be the same. hopeless, irretriev-
able, if one did not have faith. faith
that the petals are not lost for aye.
faith that the fragrance. the essence,
the spirit of the little human flowers
shall live forever in Gods kingdom.

While the Pioneer Press has no in

congress from this district. We refer
to James w. Good, an attorney of

most desirable congressman, we ver-

Buck, depot agent Of the Iowa Central
at ST Anthony, how much pleasanter
would be the life of the travelling pub
lie. He was born neat. His depot floor
is not only swept but mopped and to-
bacco spitters know they will be ar
rested il they defile 1t. But more. he's
crank on keeping the grounds
around the depot raked and clean, and
he actually has a flower bed OH the
railroad ground across the depot and
is now preparing the soil and flower
beds. Two and three years ago his
flower garden at this place attracted
as much attention from the passen-
gers in the cars, as did last year his
chained pet wolf, that got away and
which another man shot to get the
bounty offered.

over night in number of little towns
in Iowa and has Just found out to
his own satisfaction why the farmers
boy goes to the city to live. It's this.
he wants somewhere to spend his ev-
enings (his leisure time) and in the
little Iowa town there's nothing to do,
or see. or hear, unless he Is satisfied
with the society and conversation OF
the billiard room In a dry town or the
beer saloon in a wet town. OF course.
If he's Of religious turn Of mind the
weekly prayer meeting breaks the
monotony of existence, but there's a
great big crowd of young men In
Iowa, who do not care to spend their
evenings in the billiard room. the sa-
loon or the prayer meeting. What this
young man does evenings. when he
goes to the city. will not be touched
up at this time, but that the amuse-
ment. the recreation. that is neces-
sary part of all young mems lives, is
sadly wanting In all of our small and
many of our larger towns is apparent,
when one spends the night in small
country hotel. There's absolutely
nothing to do, to see or hear. This Is
why the medicine show finds 1t pays to
stay week or two In little town Of
200 inhabitants. This is why the re-
vivalist frequently stays in such a
town two or three months. It's fact
in one Iowa town revival meetings
were held thirteen months In success
sion in one church building. In that
town there was something going on
for all that time.

1.-THE cause of prohibition is the
cause of the church. If, an April Z,
Illinois should vote in favor of prohi-

power In the future the two political
parties will have to make terms with
the church. This would mean the
church in politics. Whether it will be
we'll for the country to have the
church in politics can only be an
sweled by studying the condition of
those countries Where the church is in
politics now, and also of those coun-
tries in which the church has been in
politics in the past.
""rhe prohibition candidates are, as
rule, men selected by the church. II
they should be elected to office they
will and shall obey the people who put
them in power, which means that pro-
hibition, If successful, will turn over
the interests of secular state into the
hands of the ecclesiastics.

Having overthrown what the church
considers the worst evil. it will then
attack what it considers the worst
evil: Sunday desecration-such as

turn its attention to the next worse
