THE AGE QUESTION.

Those Jealous friends of Governor
Cummins who are so anxious to Os-
lerize the great leader of the United
States senate would do we'll to re-
member that the governor himself is
no spring chicken. 1t is quite awhile
since he wore pinafores. Should he
live till the next session of the Iegis-
lature, at which time the vacancy
caused by the expiration of Senator
Allison's present term will have TO
be filled, he will then be 80 years OF
age, and will have reached period
in life which would cause even his
warmest admirers TO pause and con-
slider whether it would be doing him
personal service to elect him TO the
United States Senate, in view of the
subordinate position he would be
obliged to occupy on account of his
newness and inexperience in National
legislation it would be many years
before he could hope to WELD much
influence in the Senate and by that
time there would be demand for a
younger man. For our own part. we
think the state should retain the ser
vices of Senator Allison as long as he
lives, for no man within her borders
can fill his place at the present time.
He is at the head and it takes long
time to beign at the foot and reach
that place. But when the time is
reached when Mr.. Allison can no
longer serve the state and nation, his
place should be filled as far as it may
be possible to fill it, by a much
younger man than Governor Cum
Minis. The governor is in some re-
spects brilliant man and there is not
many who are disposed to underrate
his ability in certain directions but
the bad balk he made in his unfortun-
ate letter to W. II. Torbert, together
with his vacillating attitude in the
Davenport affairs, at time when
courage and decision of character
should have been shown. will cause a
good many people who have been
kindly disposed toward his candidacy

presumed. will be in no haste TO pre-
JUDGE their own future by helping to

statesman, who even at his adj

to reflect the highest credit both upon
his state and nation. Wait bit.
Iowa is rich in material to choose
from and when the time comes. the
man for the place will be found.

Yes, Iowa is for Taft, as the Repub-
lican declares. But it does not state
the matter correctly. The Cummins
faction did not first fall into the Taft
column. The standpatters of the state
have been for Taft since his name was
first suggested. The Cummias faction
waited until it saw the tide coming
in and then declared for Taft in IA
perfunctory manner Several things
have happened the past few weeks to
lead to the belief that the most prOmi-
nent men of the Oummins faction are
not at heart for Taft. 1t is noticeable
that Immediately after the last meet
ing of the state central committee the
Cummins members of the committee
were wearing and distributing
throughout the state LaFolette buttons,
and it is believed that Gov. Cummins
personally favors Lafollette; that he
knows the sentiment in Iowa is
for Taft, and that he hopes
to pack the delegation to the national
convention with delegates nominally
for Taft, but ready to be swung to
LaFollette in case he should develop
strength in the convention. Direct
information to this effect has come
from LaFollette workers in Wisconsin.
IOwans should see to it that their
delegates are personally for Taft. and
that there will be no monkey bust
ness" this year.

is 1T TRUEa

Gov. Cummins claims lie is squarely
with Roosevelt. The President asked
for and obtained measure for the
regulation of Inter Com
merce' and the measure is doing the
work nicely. Gov. Cummins talked
before the Senate committee on inter
state commerce; but not suggestion
he made there was incorporated in
the bill nor did his plan receive the
approval of the President.
Gov. Cummins does not abuse or
villify Sen. Allison; but he takes
Judge Proutv with HIM to do that.
Who is Judge Prouty? Is he the gen.
tleman of walnut lumber and logs"
fame? Yes. Is he the Prouty who
spent fabulous sums to defeat Hull?
He is the same Prouty. Is man to
be judged to some extent by the COM
pany he keeps? Yes
Did Uummins in speech at Min
neapolis declare that the Dingley tar
if robbed the people of more money
every year than all the graft of all
the insurance companies had done
since their organization? Yes. Has
the President asked for revision of
the tariff! No. Is Cummins with the
President? No.
Did Cummins ask for revision of
the national constitution: Yes. Did
he advocate reciprocity with Cana
da: Yes Just after his trip to Mani
toba and the purchase of Canadian
lands. Did the matter meet the APP
prevail of Roosevelt? No. Did the
Dolliver- Hepburn bill meet the ap-
prevail of Gov. Cummins? No. Did
the bill pass: Yes Did it receive
the approval of President Roosevelt?
1t did.
The facts are that Gov. Cummins
has been using the name of President
Roosevelt to couture applause from
the people. His friends have tried
to make it appear that Cummins is al
most the twin of Roosevelt in point
of originality while in fact the two
men are no more alike than root Gel
lar is like palace on the Hudson. -

TRIAL OF SCUDAM0RE
DAMAGING EVIDENCE AGAINST
PENSACOLA CASHIER.
EmnIOyes Of Bank Swear to Raising Of
Paper and Forging Of Notes

C0mducf.

Pensacola. Fla. Feb. 5.-(speciaL)--
The preliminary trial Of George c.
scudamore, depossd cashier Of the PEN
sacola Bank and Trust Company, COM
menced here today, and although o
number of witnesses were examined
the case was not concluded but went
over until tomorrow morning.
E Scudamore q charged with srnbesxie-
ment, forgery and utteFing forged pa
per and a number Of employees Of the
bank testified to irregular transactions
while Scudamore was cashier. One OF
these was in the drawing Of New York
exchange for $500 in favor Of Cincin"
natl bank for which Scudamore gave
his personal check. This exchange 1t
IL alleged, was then raised by the
cashier to $500. Another exchange
issued by the bank OF which no record
was made FOR $4,000 in favor Of q
Mississippi bank.
An ALIGNMENT forged note with the
name Of w. e. Mathis attached was
placed in evidence. It was for $1,000.
There are numerous other notes al
legged to have been forged, New York
exchange and drafts to be introduced
in the case before It IL concluded.
Throughout the day Scudamore sat
with his brother in one corner and paid
absolutely no attention to what was
being said. Frequently he would jump
from his chair and went to leave the
court room or answer the telephone
when 1t rang.
This strengthens the belief that an
insanity plea will be made by counsel
for the defense.
