policy of the party through its leader,
the President, and by the party in
Iowa through its convention. 1t is
safe to say, that the party, as whole.

that it will be incorporated in the
next national platform. In view of
these things the Burlington Hawk-Eye
concludes that
THE friends of the administration,
both the regulars and progressiyes,
will do wisely to give it their imTnedi-
ate support. And that involves its re-
endorsement by the next Iowa state
convention.
IF the action leaves Mr. Cummins
holding an empty bag, 1t will be his
own fault-a lack Of political acumen

his intense desire to put Taft in

limb of any who chance to be in the
vicinity at the time.
Quite recently the situation has be-
come the more grave by reason OF
the fact that former occupants of the
unsafe building are returning and
taking up quarters in 1t. If any of
them, or any passersby, should be kill.
ed or injured by the collapse OF the
structure, which seems imminent, it is
a question If the city would not be
liable for damages. The city, through
its council. is responsible for the con-
tinued existence Of the builG;ng and
could hardly hope to escape the legal
consequences of it's negligence. In
any event the failure of the city com
missioners to perform their duty in
the premises is inexcusable, on the
surface of things. The best reparation
they can make is to act in the mat
ter without further delay. Every day
adds to the gravity of the situation
and the danger to human life.

MERlTEp REBukE.

Senator Cummins Is given stern
rebuke for his recent sensational ut
terances by the London National Re-
view, publication noted for its
friendliness to America. A recent
issue of the Review says:
ut is time that the American peo-
pie got a grip on themselves and
realized their folly. One needs not
fear to be called an alarmist or to be
charged with exaggeration when he
points out that speeches such az

house of representatives few days
ago said If revolution comes in the
near future to protect the peoples

his theories are In direct opposition

LAFE YOUNG AT IOWA CRY.


Hon. Late Young OF Des Moines
was one of the speakers at the Iowa
City chautauqua the other DAY and
scored a distinct success. He had
originally intended to speak of his
tour around the world, but instead dis
cussed some of the advantages of
Iowa, branching out here and there
along collateral lines. His address is
pronounced by the Iowa City papers
one of the finest of the course there.
Mr.. Young administered a scathing
rebuke to the many citizens of Iowa
who have in the past started their
home in this state comparatively poor
and having at last by hard work and
careful saving amassed a fortune,
packed up and left for q SUMMER
cline, there to spend all of their mon
ey. Why" said the speaker, IF
every cent which has been made in
Iowa had been left in the state there
would today be enough money to build
fine modern home on every forty
acres in the state, with fence around
the place, all good machinery in the
barn, and even enough to build fences
to keep the chickens and hogs out of
the door yards. Iowa is so rich that
we have to lock up the state at night
to keep the other states from coming
over and stealing our soil for fertiliz-
err"
The senator took several minutes
in comparing Iowa and California,
where so many thousands of Iowans
journey annually with their hard
earned dollars obtained from the
bounteous and productive fields of
this state. Among other things, he
said:
California tells ABOUT sending a
train load of oranges valued at $685.
600 to various points in Iowa-Des
Moines, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, etc.
Why, there are 100000 worth Of
hogs being shipped out of this state
regularly and yet you don't hear much
about it. OF course, hog doesa t
smell as nice as does an orange. but
it is all there. | have lots of respect
for a hog and will take off my hat to
one any day.
Mr.. Young declared that what the
young men of today need is 80 per
cent energy and 10 per cent brains,
and il any change is necessary, give
the lad less brains and more energy.
He said he had told senator that he
ought to be boiled in oil for introduc-
ing bill saying that no boy under
fifteen should be allowed to work. II
the boy doesn't work then he will
never learn. The speaker maintained
that if the young man does not learn
a trade before he is any older. ! he
erer does learn, it will be in the pen
itentiary.
Further along in his address Mr.
Young took the audience into his con-
fidence to the extent of saying that
his ambition had always been to have
a newspaper that was newspaper
and to be able to pay his bills. He
said that when he had accomplished
that he could afford to go into politics,
but politics with him is merely side
issue and is one thing even the prl-
mary cannot take away from him.
