for the benefit of his fellow men, n

HAVE FAITH IN CUMMINS,

Senator Cummins, in his letter to
the T.-R.. has made ii clear that the
objection which he and almost the en-
tire Iowa delegation have 20 the Knox
Taft Canadian reciprocity bill. is that
the bill does not reciprocate with the
agricultural interests of the middle
west for the things these interests are
asked to yield Cummins insists that
he stands for real reciprocity, the same
as he did in his Canadian reciprocity
inaugural Of 1904. but that he demands
now as he did then, a baygain which
Will be advantageous TO our country.
1t does NOT require much political ex-
perience 70 realize that Knox, the
crea ture of the Pennsylvania machine,
would take care of his friends in max
ing deal with Canada and hence it is
useless TO question Cummins' judg-
ment upon the details of this bill when
he says that it favors the syndicate ted
interests at the expense of the agricul-
tural west and it must be confessed
that nine out OF ten progressives in
Iowa who have been disappointed that
Cummins and the progressives in con-
gress did not line UP for the bill have
themselves been shouting for Canadian
reciprocity per Sc without so much as
having read the specific schedules OF
this bill.
tor Cummins statement should simply
create Indifference on the part of pro-
gressives toward the bill. Reciprocity
with Canada, which was genuine, IS a

BOYS SIZE.

The Sioux City Journal Is much eXer-
cised over the candidacy of f. D. Chas-
sci for the office of secretary of state
After minimizing Mr.. CHASED as a
politician" and accusing him of hav-
ing been one of the first men
to adopt and advocate the progressive
policies which have been enacted into
wise and salutary laws in Iowa the
journal finds there is nothing to show
that Mr.. Chassel is entitled to prolong-
ed and unusual reward"
The conclusion is Journalesque. The
lose. The newer idea of office as an
opportunity of service and the office
holder chosen because of capacity and
fitness is slow to learn
Z. D. CHASED is d great deal moro
than politician. He is a highly eff
cient. hard working honest public ser
ing been IA long time ago representa-
tive in the assembly from Plymouth
county and later state binder. In the
years he has served never has any
voice been raised to assert or hint that
he has not given the office full atten-
ton, that he has in any way neglected
his duties or that his conduct of the
offices he has held has been marked by
aught but the truest integrity. That is
not to be said of all who have held the
office that Mr. CHASED will resign
is one public official against whom no
voice has been raised in honest criti-
cisln Of faithfulness of his service that
man is Ed CHASED.
Mr.. CHASED will probably be the next
secretary of state in Iowa. If so it will
come to him less as reward than
from the sense of the voters of Iowa
that CHASED is d business man and that
his office will be a business office and
that he is too valuable a man to lose.
This assertion will be corroborated by
standpatters as by progressives. Chas-
sci is par excellence a man who knows
now 10 conduct state business, who will
conduct it in absolute fairness to all
and who is trusted by all irrespective
of faction or party.
Mr.. CHASED had the courage TO stand
by his convictions in a certain memoir
able gubernatorial campaign. 1t is
something the Journal is unable to for
get. 1t is best to let bygones be by
cones whenever it is possible but Mr..
CHASED and his choice for the COVER
norship will never be forgotten at Sioux
City. The progressive who supported
Perkins in that pre-convention cam
paign may be forgiven much. The one
who refused to support him will be for
given nothing. That is the size Of it..
And in all candor it is boys size.

WIRE COMPANIES AND TREES.
rCedar RAPIDS Republican,.

One reader has made inquiries as to
the right Of wire companies to cut the
tops out of trees and l0p Off branches
to make room for their wires. We do
not believe that any company has such
rights. Property owners have the right
to plant trees in the parkings and have
the right to plant them and to care for
them and the right to shade. they
should also have rights to protect them
against vandals with axes. A telephone
company can not, at Its own sweet
WILL chop off trees. They have done
30 in many places. but we believe with
out authority They have a right to
use the streets, It Is true, but so have
the property owners the right to use
the streets for trees. Shade trees be-
long to a city Just as much as tele-
phone wires. It would be impossible
to make q homelike city without trees.
Trees have some important rights.
There is always room for wires under
ground. where they belong in the final
analysis. City councils should place
severe limitations on the rights Of wire
companies to play havoc with the trees.
1t should be a matter Of careful con-
sideration and in no event should wire
company be given rights that interfere
with the trees that are cherished by
property owners and the public alike.
If they have to cut down or cut back
too far any valuable trees, 1t will be
better solution to tell the company to
dig into the ground and bury their
wires Eventually. all wires will have
to go under ground anyway.

HAS WILEY FOOLED US?

Nevertheless, popular belief that
"big business is after DIR. Wiley prob
ably will serve to save him from the
consequences OF his indiscretion. II
there We're no politics in the incident he
might be dismissed on the pretext Of
fered, to the satisfaction Of most Of his
critical associates. But the press has
boosted Dr. Wiley and the public is
convinced he is the most important in
dividual in the administration OF the
pure food law. 1t also is convinced that
the drug men, the whisky men and the
whole brood Of food adulterators are
after himc because Of what he tried
to do to them in the public interest. If
he should be dismissed his technical
violation OF law would seem insigniti-
cant In comparison with the other ex-
PLANTATION of his dismissal. Therefore
1t may be predicted. unless 1t can be
shown that DR.. Wiley's offense tnvol-
we'd outright graft, which Is unlikely,
President Taft will choose to overlook
the technical violation Of the law
rather than adopt a course that would
be open to such general misconstruc-
ton.

NO WOLF At The DOOR.

The reports of unusual drouth and
the prediction of crop failure has had
their effect upon general business.
When persistent talk of crop failure is
INDUCED in it always has depressing
effect. Thousands of Iowans own farms
IN the drou-fy sections Of the north
west and thousands of others are writ
ing back of complete or partial fall
ure. But it sounds worse than 1t is.
There is no general crop failure. The
facts are by the government reports
made up from statistics gathered from
every county in the United States that
this crop scare is like the crop scares
of other years, more scare than reality.
General failure occurs in this country
very seldom and at long intervals. Corn
and cereals rose in price on the recent
yaer's crop bids fair to fall below the
mighty figures of last year and some
stocks fell for the same reason. But
last year was an exceptionally prolific
year ana the demand was LOT all It's
produced.
The fact is that the government
report was more than fairly good.
Corn the greatest of all the crops,
will probably be a somewhat smaller
yield than it was last year. 1t must be
remembered, however. that last year is
passed far above the 5000, 600, 900
bushel mark. and left all the records
ia rbehind. Based on the acreage and
condition given out by the government,
