Some days since the Herald offered
the suggestion, that If there is to con
tinue to be- republican party in iowa
1t is high time that another peace
conference was called, and get-to
gether program outlined again. Since
then history has been made rapidly
and the danger line has been drawn
nearer home. The Sixth District is
now resting on volcano that bodies
no good
The ominous rumblngs that pre-
coed an eruption were heard in Des
Moines on Taft day, where large
number of the leading politicians oil
the Sixth district were brought to
gether informally OF this meeting
the Des Moines Daily News OF Mon
day Said
"A large number of representa-
tive Sixth district republicans got
together today to talk over the
political situation in the district.
In the meeting is seemed to be
the universal sentiment that the
Sixth district should nominate a
candidate for congress who will
stand by the administration and
the republican party.
"Mr. KendalPs course In voting
with the democrats against his
party was unanimously condemn
ed" Ha'1'' vs. ~t1'EtH&i2 E'u, rs.
simultaneously with the publication
Of the above in the News came an
Interview published in the Des Moines
Daily Capital:
Congressman Nate Kendall of
the Sixth district pleads ignor
ance of the real meaning of the
letter writing that is being done
apropos of his recent public ex-
PLANTATION of his refusal ito vote
for the Payne tariff bill. 81 don't
know what is in the air." said the
congressman at the the Slavery
last night when asked the mean
ing of the open letters which
were being addressed to him by
Major Lacey and H. l.. Water
man.
Answering the suggestion that
possibly it p6rtended opposition
to his nomination to succeed him
self the congressman replied: If
have not served the republicans
of my district it would be good
thing for the Republican party if
such was the 'nfeaning. BY this
| mean that ii the republicans
are not pleased with my record
they should oppose me at primar-
les and not give me nomination
without any opposition and then
knife me at the polls as they did
two years ago. - ."+
No doubt much Of the evidence that
has inspired most of these charges
and counter charges grew out of mis-
understandings, and failure on the
part of each faction to appreciate
what the other is doing and trying to
do. If the contention is not nipped in
the bud, the breech will lead to DEM
ocratic victory in the Sixth district, a
result which we believe both sides
would heartily deprecate and regret.
The household is disturbed and the
family seems divided, and the Herald
believes that now is the time for a
conference, or some sort of an under.
standing. Let us hear and consider
The words of the peace maker, THAT
the use of the surgeons knife may
be delayed, and the services of the
may be avoided.

our NeIeHaoR,s OPINIONS.

Sigourney News: Speaking of Judge
Preston, we are reminded that Judges
Preston and Willcockson, of this dis
trict, VIII be up again for reelection
this next year. 1t has always been
customary to give the judges three
terms. This next year should be no
exception. when such excellent Off
GERS as we have now, are to be voted
on. They have been painstaking,
careful, judicious, and an honor to
the bench which has been so ably
filled in the past. There should be a
settled conviction over the district,
that even a suggestion of change in
these two men, will be crowned upon.
Judge Clements, who has made an
excellent presiding judge, is finish
ing his third term, and will not again
seek reelection.
New Sharon Star: The forever pes
ky newspaper correspondent at polit-
ical centers is about the most unre-
liable and unnecessary parasite that
affects the public welfare. He is for
ever inventing some sort of story
concerning the intentions of public
officials, and cares nothing whether
there be no truth whatever in his pub
lished surmises, if only he can draw
his pay while serving a scheming
soulless masters They diligently
avoid truth and fact, indulge in fiction
that they may keep the public in a
senseless turmoil. Just now'they are
trying to make it appear that Senator
Dolliver is scheming to kill off Cover
nor Carroll, fearing that gentleman
may have designs on Delivers seat
in the senate. Doubtless Dolliver is
not unduly alarmed, is entertaining no
designs against Carroll, who is prov
ing himself a good governor without
making any silly show of himself.
There is room in Iowa for both these
big men, regardless of the red shirt
wavers for pay in Washington, Des
lMoines and elsewhere.

NEW HOMESTEAD LAW.

There are seven states and two ter
ritorieS where the settler is permitted
to enter upon 800 acres of land be-
longing to Uncle Sam, instead of the
160-acre homestead tract, which is the
limit everywhere else. But it is only
certain sort of land that our beni-
ficent government will let loose into
private hands in this large a chunk.
Congress on February 10 of this
year, passed what is called the zen.
larged homestead act. 1t was to
permit the settler to take a sufficient
acreage OF non-mineral, non-timbered
and non-irrigable' land, so that while
he might dry farm" on part OF it,
the remainder might be allowed to lie
fallow each season, that congress en-
acted this measure. The provisions
OF the new law apply only to certain
lands in Colorado, Montana, Nevada,
Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wy
oming, and the territories of Arizona
and New Mexico. Up to the present
time there have been designated by
the secretary of the interior as prima
facie subject to entry under this act,
in round numbers: ~
In Colorado ....... 20, 250, 900 acres
In Montana ;. 26,00O,OOO acres
In New Mexico ...... 1,550,000 acres
In Oregon ,........ 100000 acres
In Washington $500. 3,500,OOO acres
In Wyoming ......1 II 900, 900 acres

designated under special provision
