FOR PARTY UNITY.

Editorial in Senator Young's paper,
the Des Moines Capital: Senator
Cummins in an authorized interview
with the Register and Leader, prac-
tically says that he Is opposed to
the restoration OF harmony in the re-
publican party of Iowa. He is oppos-
ed to considering any man for sena-
tor who is not called a progressive.
Readers of The, Capital will reme1n.
Der that in the harmony meeting
held at the Auditorium a few days
before the election, Senator Cummin6
insisted that the man should be
placed above the party. His utter
ance was dramatic and is easily re-
called
Now the senator abandons that po-
sition. He goes further. He places
a faction above every man and any
man. His doctrine is that any pro-
gressive is better than any other man.
If the legislature carries out this
doctrine, there can be no political
peace in Iowa. There are 100000 re-
publicans in Iowa who are not will
ing to concede that all the good men
are In the progressive faction.
We admire the senator's candor
He leaves no doubt as to his position.
He is against the junior senator He
prefers any man as candidate for
senator in preference to Young.
This brings up the entire subject
as to what constitutes genuine re-
publican. -
We take II that every republican
in Iowa is In favor of radical legisls.
tiou in control of corporations, and
is IN favor. of the enforcement of
every law now on the statute books
for the suppression of trusts and
combines. The law against trusts
aud combines could not be stronger
than 1t is. either in this state or in
the nation. The federal attorneys
are working night and day to break
up the trusts. Fines and penalties to
the amount of millions have been
paid into the federal treasury by the
trusts which have been prosecuted.
There is not a republican in Iowa
that is not as radical upon these sub
3ects as any so-called progressive
could be.
So far then We have found no diff
ference between the iso-called factions

BILLY" SUNDAY.

Rev. Sunday is surely the steam
caliope of the anti-saloon campaign
His clarion notes may be full of dis
cords, but he makes himself heard
and all ears are intuitively attuned
to catch the, chords and to hold them
in either praise or contempt. When
he is in town there Is an unsettled
feeling among the grown ups that is
akin to the emotions of the small
boy who Is stirred by the big steam

not for this inspiration, his one-day
efforts in towns like Fort Dodge, Des

lasting influence.
And, as the passing OF the caliope
might leave regrets of the tinsel and
the saw dust, were il not for the ring

Car and Wauon Mix,

w. Reed McMurray, a coal hauler
residing on the Beacon road, figured
in street car accident this morning.
Mr.. McMurray was crossing High ave
nue. at the intersection Of Third street
with load of coal The wagon and
horses were struck by the car. Mo
toripan Fox did not see the wagon
until too late and Mr.. McMurray could
not get off the track In time TO avoid
a collision. The wagon was broken
considerably and the coal scattered
over the street. One of the horses
was slightly injured, but Mr.. McMur.
ray escaped unhurt.
Today completes the fourth year in
tive service for Motorman George
Fox and the accident this morning
was the first of that nature he has
had since he has been in the employ

has been equalled by any motorman

BASKET BALL..

Burlington, Dec. Especial: What
will probably prove to be the snap.
piest game of the season took place
last night in the local gym: the Os.
kaloosa "Y' and the local five being
the contenders.,
The first half was married by some
very rough playing, the Oskaloosa
boys, owing to their advantage in
height and weight, were probably the
rougher Burlington was the first to
score basket in the game but the
Oskaloosa boys quickly evened up
and then until the end of the first
half it was nip and tuck, the final
score of the half being % to II in Os-
kaloosa's favor.
The ten minutes rest our boys had
between halves seemed to agree with
them, for they came back with vim
that showd their hard practice had
not been entirely wasted, and they
quickly took the lead. which they
maintained until the end of the game.
The final score was A to 33.

SIXTH DISTRICT VOTE.

The official canvass of the vote
polled at the recent election has
been made and published in all the
counties making up the Sixth dis
trict. From these tables are CLEAN
ed figures which show that Hon. N.
L. Kendall was elected to congress
over Hon. Dan w. Hamilton by a
plurality of 1,419. This shows a
great gain for Kendall over the vote
polled two years ago. In 1908 he ran
against the same opponent and his
plurality over Hamilton at that time
was only 2S1.
In 1908 Kendall lost Davis, Keokuk
and Mahaska counties. This year
he lost Davis, Wapello and Keokuk
counties. Kendail's gain in Mahas.
ka county was 497. The other coun-
ty showing big gains was his home
county of Monroe. where his plural
ity jumped from sos in 1908 to 1854

IN THE PHILIPPINES.

f The report of the Secretary of
War upon his recent visit to the
Philippine Islands has just been is
sued by the war department. Dur
ing the secretarys stay in the is
lands, from July "a to September 3,
he inspected practically all the pub
lie institutions and army posts and
held many public hearings. The adj
ministration of the various depart
ments were found to be in gener'
ally satisfactory condition.
The secretary of war speaks very
sympathetically of the aspirations
of the Filipino people for independ,
ense and says that the public eX'
preston is very general in favor OF
same, but that many of the conser'
vative and most substantial men
would view such result with con-
sternation.
Referring to the fitness of the Fill
Pine people for self-government, he
says:

ted Filipinos-many men of talent,
ability, and brilliancy-but the per-
centage in comparison with those
who are wholly unframed in an un'

INSTANT DEATH COMES
Fred Miller of Eddyville Expires on
Street from Neuralgia.

Fred Miller, a prosperous and well
known resident, of Eddyville, mer-
chant and real estate dealer, was
found dead on the street in Oskaloo-
sa about nine o'clock Tuesday even
ing. The man had probably died of
neuralgia of the heart and death had
come to him almost instantly.
Mr. Miller was on his way to the
Rock Island passenger station. The
trouble struck him as he was near
the Hostetter residence, corner of
First street and Third avenue. He
sat down on the terrace for few
moments and was assisted to his
feet by a passerby. The man seem

dition, directions becoming confused
and he started east. He had proceed:

East and fell back dead.
The body was first found by Earl
Barnhart He tried to arouse him
and failing was enroute to tele-
phone when Miss Jeanette Davis
came upon the form lying at the side
of the walk and was much frightened
The screams of the girl alarmed
the neighborhood and number oil
people soon gathered about the place
and the call for assistance came from
several phones. Officer Charles Bri-
ney was at the place among the
first. The ambulance was called
and the badly was removed to the Nc
Curdy morgue. Papers and letters
found on the body identified the man
as Fred Miller. of Eddyville, and a
relative of the Crosson and the Tur-
ner families of this city. Relatives
were reached by phone and J. M.
Crosson, of Eddyville, a brother-in-
law hurried to the city. He says that
the deceased had been a sufferer
from neuralgia for years and that at
times the heart had been involved.
The sufferer had consulted physi-
clans and knowing the gravity OF the
trouble had told members of the

some day and that he would die sud
denly just as brother had died be-
fore him. Fred Miller was a widely

He had been successful in business

Then the difference must be upor
the tariff
A tariff commission is at work try
ing to discover if some tariffs are
higher than they ought to be. The
progressives concede that the tariff
question shall not be reopened until
the tariff commission reports certain
facts, making the reopening neces
sary. We suppose this to be the
position of President Taft
Then it being conceded that the
tariff question is not to be reopened
until the commission has reported
| that such reopening is necessary
what difference is there between the
factions on the tariff?
Senator Cummins says he is in ia
por of tariff high enough to pre-
serve the American market for the
goods made in America. The editor
of The Capital says he is in favor OF
tariff high enough to preserve the
American products, both of factory
and farm. \;
Now what difference is there be.
tween the senior and junior senator's?
The editor of the Capital is in ia.
vor of every good law which can be
proposed upon any subject. He is in
favor of every proposition which will
help the people of the United States.
He refuses to be considered fac
ZIONIST He is in favor of peace in
the republican party of Iowa. Discord
has gone on long enough.
The editor of the Capital believes
republican president should be
elected in 1912. To that end the re-
publican party ought to get together.
The republican party cannot get to-
gether by one faction laying claim to
everything there is. 1t cannot get
together if the word progressive" is
to be misapplied and misconstrued
to wipe everybody else off the map.
The rank and file of the republic.
can party of Iowa Is in favor of peace
within the party. b~
The present legislature was made
possible by standpatters voting for
progressives and progressives voting
for standpatters. If the doctrine laid
down by the senior senator had been
adopted by the party previous to the
election, the present legislature
would have been democratic.
There is one progressive senator
elected by two standpat counties.
There are standpat senators and rep
resentatives elected from progressive
counties. These matters could not
have been possible except that the
rank and file of the republican party
we're anxious and are anxious to get
together. There would be no trouble
except for the leaders.
We appeal to the republicans of
Iowa. The editor of The Capital is
candidate for United States sena-
tor on the doctrine of united repub-
lican party. On this platform he is
wiling to win or lose.
The wheel will not turn with water
that is past.
The issues OF last year are not the
issues-of today. The issues Of today
viii not be the issues of 1911, ..a. o.
The editor of The Capital once
more appeals to the republicans for
their support. Every republican
who is in favor of party peace can
conserve that end by using his in
fiuence with his senator or represen-
tatiye for the editor of The Capital
for United States senator.
