WARE THE GREEKS.


The deep, dark designs of Governor
Cummins to control the state delega-
ton to the national convention have
been scented, sleuthed, unmasked, ex-
posed and duly lamented and de-
nounced. That he says he is for Taft
and the delegation should be, and that
in this the reactionaries accord, does
not mitigate the deep dnmnation of
the governors course.
Possibly, G. rnor Cummins cannot
comprehend this sudden outburst Of af-
lection for Taft on the part of the ele-
ment that openly or covertly has OPP
posed the Roosevelt policies, and when
in line is so only because whipped in.
He may suspect that the Greeks are
again bearing gifts. He may doubt
their sincerity, especially as most of
them roar Cannon or Fairbanks as
gently as a sucking dove. 1t is just
possible that they may be for Taft
now with the intention of being
against him at the opportune moment
in the convention when he will be
chucked overheard and the safe" man
be run in. On the whole record there
seems to be justification for the gov
ernor's dissemination to walk into the
reactionary parlor.

Now, let's see State committees
nor as the basis upon which to appor-
ton delegates in state conventions for
some time. A year ago, when many
republicans were threatening to bolt
Cummins because of the viciousness
of the Blythe press, they were warned
repeatedly that if they did it their
counties would lose representation in
the next state convention. Disregard
ing the danger they bolted and voted
for the democratic candidate, and now.

patch to the New York Herald. Last
June Mr.. Randall planted a test patch
with peanuts. and the results have been
such that he expects even more profit
able returns.
The peanut kernels were planted in
sandy soil. and Mr. Randall gave to
them the same care that is usually be-
slowed on corn crop. When the
vines began to spread. all cultivation
was stopped. and the harvest, while
not Of marketable abundance, has re-
vealed the fact that the particular
Montclair soil which Mr.. Randall Sc
lected is almost equal to that OF Vir-
ginia in producing fine COOLERS. Last
year Mr.. Randall planted only the
red husk varieties, and the yield IL
much larger than after similar expert
ments in 1906, when he planted the
yellow skinned variety.
MIR. Randall expects to devote lar
ger acreage to peanuts next summer,
and an effort will also be made to In
duce farmers and truck gardeners In
the northern section Of New Jersey to
devote a portion of their tracts to test
patches, so that more definite results
can be obtained The profits in pea
nuts are large, and the cultivation and
harvest require less work than sim

GOING INTO DEBT.

Going into debt Is good or bad ac-
cording to the kind Of debt which
| is assumed. The man who runs up
debts at the store is simply eating up
now what he ought to have later on.
He lis preparing to beat somebody or
I to go hungry while catching up with
his bills. He is worse than the Katydid
who sang all summer, making no pro-
vision for winter, for he has deliber-
ately eaten up in summer the pro-
visions which he had for the winter.
He is more than likely to resort to
the loan shark and pay ten per cent
month interest which is equal to 12o
per cent year, or the equivalent OF
throwing away more than half the
amount of loan without getting a
chance to eat any Of 1t at all. The
man who runs in debt at the store or
who lives beyond his income is worse
than foolish, he is extending press
ing invitation to disaster.
The man who goes in debt for
home. for farm, for a business prop
erty or for any piece Of property
which has intrinsic value, the man
who takes on debts Of this kind merely
makes a contract with a savings bank
which forces him to save from his in
come and accumulate a competence.
The man paying himself poor for
home will have the home to show Tor
his sacrifices. Some day it will shelter
him and his family when his earnings
are impaired. The man wac gets under
a mortgage on his farm, goes to lift
ing the mortgage instead of buying
uxuries, and in time he owns prop
erty which will work for him and turn
over to him and to his children its
earnings for all time to come. The
man who goes into debt for BUSH
ness. if he buys with wisdom, begins
to deny himself until he has a business
paid for which will work for him in
the future. Going into debt for prop
erty is wise and prudent in princi
pie, provided it is done With discretion.
And there's the rub. Many man
has overestimated his strength. He
has bent low under q load which
strained his back and perhaps fell
down upon him. Going into debt for

the duty of the respective states
formerly composing the confederate
states of America to care for the
worthy and needy confederate
soldiers out Of their state treasury as
many of thern are now doing with
great iberality."
There is something worthy of re-
spect in that attitude. 1t recognizes
that whatever the southern people may
think about the war, the older genera
ton in the north, now passing rapidly
away cannot see it in the same light
they do, and should not be called upon
to contribute to anything in the ma
ture of a reward for those who OPP
posed the union in the dark days OF its
history. The southern states are able
to take care of their own, and Will do
so. On the surface 1t might seem an
evidence of reconciliation to pension
the men of both armies from the ma
tional treasury: but the action of the
Tennessee veteran is stronger evidence
than any such policy could be. for 1t is
manly recognition of the right of the
north to hold to its opinion of the war,
even tho that opinion is contrary to
the belief and teaching Of the south.
That is spirit far more worthy Of re-
spect than would he shown by a de-
mand for national recognition of the

THE DEFEAT CANNOT END THE
LID"
(Ceda, Rapids Gazette)
If Davenport defeated the commits
sion plan because it feared the lid"
would be forced onto the city to a
greater extent than now prevails, or
even that the present lid" would be
retained, Davenport people are more
illogical than they have been given
credit for bellS. The comalisst IN plan
has nothing whatever to d. with q
lid" The commission plan provides
for no additional laws; the laws now
on the statute books govern. or are
supposed to govern, all cities, and
those laws can be enforced just as we'll
under one plan as another. The Off
cial who is sworn to enforce cid" laws
does not need a commission plan back
of him; that has been demonstrated
by the compulsory obedience. to law in
Davenport, in Dubuque. and other
SoSAAAo
under the old system OF city govern
ment Mere than that, the rejection
of the commission plan by any city IS
no guaranty to such city that 1t can
any longer violate law with impunity.
We have come upon an era of law en-
forcement, and laws are going to be
better enforced, whether a city has q
number of aldermen elected one from
each ward, or whether it has a mayor
and four aldermen, all chosen at large.
The commission plan is plan for
the running of a city on a business
basis; of giving the taxpayers dol
lars worth of service for every dollar
expended; of hiring directors of a
business institution, giving them au-
thority to do the business of the city
and holding them responsible for the
doing of that business.
That's all. And the statutes are go
ing to be obeyed under that plan, or
if that plan is not put in force.

those days the vice president was a

John Adams served two terms as
vice president while Washington was
president, and then was elected to the
chief place; but that was under the
old system by which the candidate
having the highest electoral vote be-
came president and the second in
order the vice president. In this
way, when Adams was elected presi-

opposing party, became vice presi-

not a majority of the electoral vote,

Four years later. Jackson and Cal
