IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.
The Mason City Globe Gazette sur
misses that If Dingley and Mckinley
were alive they would most likely tell
the conferees to bring in the Dingley
bill as compromise measure and go
home"
The Si8ax City Tribune ventures
that The president may continue to
ignore the insurgent forces, but it was
nevertheless from that source that the
call came which reused him from his
golf game and caused him to place a
proper valuation on his promise"
The love-sick SWANS of Des Moines
should not be down-hearted at the
edict prohibiting spooning on the CAPT
pol grounds. Cupid never has been sue
cessfully circumvented. The love that
laughs al lock smiths will surely give
the state officials the merry lla Ia in
this instance" thinks the Waterloo Re-
porter.
The DEBORAH Republican says: "All
that Iowa farmers ask or need now is
fair weather. a temperature of 20 q So
degrees and no storms save moderate
rainfall. not TOO frequently. In this
vicinity everything has gone along
nicely up 10 date. We need it in this
region. in order to even up the hail
storm OF 1903
THE press dispatches tell us that the
lottery for western Indian lands will
begin Aug 8 And yet your Uncle
Samuel discourages lottery schemes
and bars them from the mails-eX-
cept his own" comments the Fairfield
Ledger.
Whether or not Attorney General
Bvers is right in his contention that
the world now in the law limiting the
number of saloons means the day the
law was passed is a question for the
courts TO determine, but at any rate
those aldermen in the various cities
who We're so anxious to stretch the law
te its limit in order to save the sa-
looms do not appear in a very good
light" concludes the Newton Record.
This is the time of the year when
thousands go away from home to be

quitoes and to eat food that they would
not eat in their own homes. But it is

Probably not until the millennium
will freight rates be fixed to the per-
feet satisfaction of both the shippers
and the common carriers philoso-
phzes the Des Moines Capital.
"One glance al Iowa impels some of
US to wonder why any man wants to
leave the state And a million glances
do not lessen the wonderment," ac-
claims the Cedar Rapids Gazette.
The Lake View Argus says: 1.-THE
reception to be given the Iowa senators
at Des Moines on their return from
Washington, will be deserved. No state
has more reason to be proud of their
senator's than Iowa. Their work and
speeches during tine long drawn out
tariff debate put them in the front
rank of great men in the senate"
Congressman Woods is on the right
track. If he can succeed in getting the
manufacture of paper from corn stalks
on its feet in the commercial world he
will render the country more service
than any chautauqua speaker on the
, list. Iowa raises corn stalks and it uses
print paper; Congressman Woods is
working along the right line" asserts
the Carroll Herald.
In the opinion of the LeMars SEN
tinel The Cosson laws are justifying
their passage by the influence they are
