IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES

Here is the standpat argument in
full, declares the Fonda Times: Help
the corporation and railroad interests
of the state to pound 'Cummins' into
the earth; drive out of public life Of
ficials who think for themselves and
fail to do the bidding of Blythe and
Hunter" and other railroad attorneys;
and if Allison should fail at the pri-
maries, elect a democratic legisla-
ture This is loyalty to republican
principles and harmony with VEN
geance; but its the program in 1908 OF
the men who bolted the party ticket in
1906"

Quoting the statement that "even
the standpatters now favor a mild
form of tariff ripping" the DEBORAH
Republican says: "a mild form, Ell?
We tariff rippers' never dared sug-
gest special session. Like all new
converts, they had to go us one bet

LET us tote fair, treat all the can
didates with respect, vote our choice

advises the Oelwein Register.
Senator Dolliver is campaigning
against the majority in his town, coun-
ty and district" declares the Britt
News, "and we predict that he will
find out after the second of June that
he has gone against the majority in
the state"
The Pocahontas Record believes
that 1.-The farmer who does not help
himself at the primary election will
deserve and will suffer in the future,
rs in the past, in the game of tariff
revision to be played the same old way
II the standpatters can effect 1t, leaV-
ing him out in the cold and keeping
the fat for the over-protected manu-
facturers. The farmers will be safe
with Cummins."
'The people want a man who has
the courage of his belief, even tho he
be mistaken at times" insists the
Baskerville Enterprise. "They have
no patience with a man who thinks he
can juggle himself into their affec-
lions, stand on all sides of all ques-
tons, and never become Identified
with single movement that is of ben
eft to the masses"
"cummins talks and Allison saws
wood. That's the difference" says the
Fort Dodge Messenger, to which the
Williams Wasp responds: But the
trouble with the senator's saving is
that he follows the chalk line marked

A Funny Picture.

Secretary Wilson of the department
Of agriculture concluded in Washing
ton a recent address on agricultural
economy with an ancedote.
II used to know a clergyman" he
said, "who owned a fine farm, and ran
it on very economical lines, so that
it paid splendidly.
Sometimes, tho, am afraid this
good clergyman carried his economies
q point or two too far
"Thus, as he was taking his usual
daily stroll over his rich, broad acres
one morning, he saw a plowman, while
the horses rested, sitting on the handle
of his pillow. 1t occurred to the minis
ter that he paid this plowman 10 cents
an hour, besides board, and he stopped
and said, gently but reproachfully:
"James, wouldn't it be a good plan
for you to have pair of pruning
shears here, and be cutting a few
bushes along the fence while the horses
are taking their short rest?'
James returned the minister's seri-
Gus gaze. and in the same gentle yet
reproachful voice he answered:
"Look here. sir, wouldn't it be a
good plan for you to have tub of po-
talOeS III Tue pulpit, anu WliHc liey 10
singing the hymn to peel 'em for the
pot?'"
The War Upon the American Saloon.
In two thirds of all the territory of
the United States the saloon has been
abolished by law. Forty years ago
there were 100000 people living in
territory where the sale of liquor was
prohibited Now there are 36,0O0,O00
people under prohibitory law. Since
that time the population of the country
has scarcely doubled, while the popu-
lation in prohibition territory has in
creased tenfold. There are 20,000,00O
people in the fourteen southern states,
II, 900, 900 of whom are under prohibit
tory laws in some FORM In 1900 there
were 100000 under prohibition in
the United States; now there are 49,
100000. In eight months statewide
prohibition has cleared the saloon from
an area as great as that of France. In
that area there is a solid block of ter
ritory 300 miles north and south by 72O
miles east and west, in which on the
first day of next January a bird can
fly from the Mississippi to the Atlantic
ocean, and from the boundary of Ten

matte corps and many other notables
we're also in attendance.

early on. hand and in the corridors
and on the floors of both chambers
there was much good natured ban
tering among the victors and the
yanQuished in the November elec.
lions.
The opening of the session in the
senate was without incident. The
appearance of Vice President Fair
banks was the signal of round of
hearty applause from both the men,
bers and the galleries. Immediately
following the prayer of the chaplain
Dr.. Edward Everett Hale, the roll
was called by states. Albert B.
Cummins, the successor of the late
Senator Allison Of Iowa. was ap-
plaudd when the oath was taken.
The opening of the session in the
house was attended by scenes of
greater activity than those witness
ed in the upper branch. A round
Of applause swept through the gal
leries when Speaker Cannon appear
ed on the rostrum and raped for
order.
