EXTRA SESSION INDICATED,

The legislature has adjourned until
Nov "a at which time it will reconvene
to perform it's constitutional duty of
electing senator to the United States
congress. the duty which the law COM
manded it to perform at this time but
which was made impossible by forty
three republicans who refused to per-
nit the election of Cummins. SO far as
the progressive cause is concerned no
particular harm has been done by adj
journment and, perhaps the general
republican ticket has been even as
sisted. altho the democrats have fair
complaint to make and can rightfully
charge the republican members with an
evasion of their constitutional duty
solely for partisan purposes.
However, irregular as the proceed
ings are it is probably the best that
could have been done under the cir
cumstances. The deadlock which ex-
listed would have entailed useless ball
loting for an indefinite period and a
months deadlock as has often occurred
in other states would have cost the
state infinitely more than an ad-
journed session under the contract
which the republican members have
signed agreeing to vote as a party unit
for the successful nominee of the pri-
mary.
On the whole the wisdom of calling
the extra session has been vindicated.
Governor Cummins believed in the
public policy of selecting the senator
ial nominee of dominant party by
direst choice of all the voters and the
special session has provided for 1t.
He had also discovered a condition of
factional strife which promised defeat
the legislature that if he had per-
mitted senatorial campaign to go on
in the old way, in which. as Dolliver
puts it, the senatorial candidates Sc
lect the legislature, a republican state
would have been turned over to the
democrats. The unprecedented bolt
Of factionalists in the legislature has
uncovered to the public the very con-
dition which the governor could see
and signed truce to let a primary
settle the row may yet save the party.
If 1t does the extra session will have
served the republican party, while if
1t does not conditions will not have
been made any worse than they were.
If the standpatters who have been
willing to disrupt their party and
throw Iowa democratic in order to de-
feat Cumnins will now put UP a man
for senator and have fair test at the
primary the row may be. lifted off the
backs of republican nominees for other
offices.

A HUMAN INTEREST STORY.
Iowa City Citizen).


| This is not an ordinary story, in
which everything ends happily. The
element of awful tragedy has entered
The story is not yet ended but it is
true.
In the little town of Manson, Iowa,
has lived for many years man named
Brown. Gambler Brown people
called him, to distinguish him from
other Browns in the community. His
business was to play poker to win,
and he nearly always won He was
different from most other gamblers in
that he did not drink or indulge in
riotous living. He was quiet and gem
tlemanly in demeanor. we'll liked per-
sonally, took an interest in base ball
and other athletics, and was known
as square sport--except when he
played poker; that was business with
him. He was the sort of a man that was
always picked to umpire a base ball
game. Both sides knew they would get
an absolutely square deal.
Brown saved his money and invested
in real estate. lie became the owner of
several brick blocks. He was known
as an enterprising citizen and 10
cal capitalist Of course everyone
knew he was a gambler, and good
many disapproved of his business but
he was not ashamed to have it known.
He said, that If he was good citizen,
paid his debts, contributed to public
enterprises and attended to his own
business, it was no concern of the COM
munity If he INDUCED the fancies of
the many men in Manson and sur
rounding towns who thought they
could win money from him. There
were those who accepted this reason
ing as good. tOhers began to believe
that Brown was greater menace to
the community than if he had been
6issolute gambler; for gambling as
business looked to many of the boys
and young men as an easy way to sic-
cess in life. The wives of the men
whose money he took did not like
Gambler Brown. But this talk was all
on the quiet. 1t never got into the
newspapers. Brown had beautiful
home, and an attractive wife who was
an active member of the church and
popular in society. His old father and
mother made their home with them
and life was pleasant and successful.
Enter trouble! Two or three years
ago Brown began to show symptoms
of tuberculosis. In the past year his
health declined rapidly. Just before
he made arrangements to go to

But the son was compelled by his
weakness to go west, leaving the
parents under the care of his accom-
plished wife She fretted under her
burden. which prevented her from
accompanying her husband. Her
greatest fault was high temper.
Quarreling with the old folks began.
Last Saturday morning both she and
the father, aged seventy-tWo, were in
ungovernable rage over some trif1ing
thing connected with the care of the
elderly lady. She started upstairs, he
says, with a threat to kill his wife.
He picked up an Indian club in the
hall. followed her and beat her brains
out on the bedroom floor, splashing
the walls with her blood, while the
old lady chung in terror to the door

the terrible reason for his wife's sud-
den death.
If the devil himself could have
had the ordering of events he could
hardly have devised more diabolical
torture than has been visited upon

story? Find it for yourself if you
think there is one. We are not GER

Certainly every human being can pity
this tortured man. once happy in his
home and successful in the business

SCHOOL HOUSES AND BARNS.

The farmers of Magnolia township,
Putnam county. Illinois. have equipped
$4,000 school house to take the
place Of several old fashioned schools.
The more distant pupils are brought
to school each day by two wagons, at
the cost of cents per pupil daily.
Four teachers are employed, two in the
grades and two in the high school
branches, which include domestic sci
ence and agriculture. The lowest wages
paid to any teacher is $50 per month
and laboratories are provided for the
searching of science. The pupils of this
school are lacking none Of the advant-
ages that are given the children in
town.
OF course this kind of school costs
more than the little red school house
and the school girl teacher at $25
month. On the same principle and for
the same reason an automobile costs
more than a cotton mule. We have
practically given up the idea that we
can have opportunities for a good de-
ucation without paying for the educa-
tional facilities that a good education
demands The Illionis farmers who
have spent their money to bring the
higher education to their front door
