CLARKE AND PALMER.
IIowa City Republican,

The Republican does not believe
there is a man in Iowa who can now
enter the race and defeat George w.
Clarke for governor. He is a clean
man of ability and fairness, and VIC
hope he will receive the nomination.
Still il Colonel Palmer enters the race,
his friends will go with him. He can
come as near defeating Clarke as any
man in Iowa, and there is nobody
whom the Republican would rather
see governor, but it believes that the
best friends of Colonel Palmer are not
urging him into a contest where he
would most likely be defeated. But
Colonel Palmer can be nominated Tor
lieutenant governor. This is time
when republicans should be getting to-
getter, not further apart. With Clarke
and Palmer for leaders. there would be
harmony and that would help to elect
a solid republican delegation to con-
gress. 1t will not be an easy task to
elect republicans to congress next year
in several districts. II we have strong
state ticket, it will help very much.
The Second district can be redeemed
with a strong candidate. fair state
ticket and decent platform, but 1t can
not be carried II we are to have a

APoLI1IcAl OBITUARY.

Leslie NJ. Shaw, It is announced has
quit politics. So much the newspaper
interviewers were informed by Mr.
Shaw on his recent trip to Des
Moines. If Mr.. Shaw is to be taken a.
his word he does not know anything
about politics east or west. He is out
of the game.
Perhaps it would be nearer an ahso-
lutte statement to say that politics quit
Governor Shaw. There was time
in Iowa when his political word stood
against the world with perhaps an ex-
ception or two who need not now be
parrcularized. Keen, shrewd and
capable Shaw rose rapidly in politics
once opportunity was given him. He
had powerful backing which he took
care not to ALLEVIATE. He was stump
speaker par excellence and Won a per-
sonal way to the franchises of the
people. He was treasurer of the United
States. And then all at once politics
dropped him. His popularity faded n
Iowa and in his old district.
There was a reason Governor Shaw
had the greatest opportunity that has
been given to any man for many years
in Iowa. Like many a successful and
shrewd man before him he took the
wrong turning. He stayed with the
politicians and the people went or.
Either he misjudged the strength Of the
popularity. Perhaps he deliberately
flung aside his possibilities in politics
to stand pat with those who had been
his political companions, but that is
not like Leslie NJ. Shaw. At any rate
he chose to oppose reforms which the
voters demanded. to assume that the
common voters were unfit to govern
themselves and to name the men they
desired to represent them in office.
Shaws opposition to the primary and
the manner Of that opposition was the
final act which separated him from his
popularity with the voters

Ono Hundred Per Gent Babies.

(SC. Faul tlOneeT FTeSS).
The Iowa women, even without that
saving grace. the ballot, are determin-
ed to save Iowans, nay. to make an
Iowan the future Greek. the perfect
specimen Of the human race.
To this end the club women Of the
state are studying physical perfection.
and they are making every effort to
put their knowledge into practice.
They are sending to Europe an Iowa
woman physician who is to study
methods and standards in all the Euro
pean countries, so that Iowa may know
and compare itself with other coun-
tries. This physician will be gone one
year, studying at the expense and un-
dor the direction OF the club women Of
the state.
But this is not the first advance re-
corded. Iowa already possesses a baby
which won first place, 961k per cent,
in a state wide contest with other
babies.
Still this is not sufficient. The repre-
sentative Iowa baby must be brought
up to 100 points, and all babies of Iowa
must be representative. A campaign
is on looking toward the instruction Of
every Iowa mother in the needs and
possibilities of child welfare; theory is
not enough: from now on every infant
in Iowa will be the subject of prac-
tice: and he, and she, will become per-
feet The race Of Iowans bids fair to
be talked about.
Such a standard is Of interest to ev-
cry other state in the union. For Iowa
is the average state OF the forty seven.
In every way Iowa is average. in the
size of its farms, the general quality Of
its soil, the general intelligence Of its
people. II Iowa can make a baby Of
100 points average, it will have done an
immense service to the other states.
They will have to accept the average.

SETTLING OTHER PEOPLES ROWS.

President Taft is correct in his con-
vlct1on that the Turko Italian trouble
belongs among European nations and
concerns the United States very little.
In fact the fight in Dame Europa's
school appears to be none of our BUSH
ness and an excellent thing to keep
out of. There would be but one ex-
cuse for any Intervention by the United
States and that would be upon request
OF the embattled nations themselves
However we have had one expert
ence as arbiter of national quarrel
at the end of a great war 1t is not
one which induces TO hurry forward
with proffers Of interference There is
Very small gratitude either in Russia
or In Japan for the settlement of their
peace treaty. 1t was good job never
thelesss and under the circumstances
the part Of this country to accept the
responsibility but with all respect to
the great president who acted as arbi-
ter Of that dispute we need not rush
TO engage in the judicial department
Of world politics again.
About the best thing men and ma
tions can do is to keep away from
fights and warfares in which their own
interests are not seriously involved.
The willing person who breezes for
ward to act as arbiter between man
and wife usually displays marked I'M
willingness to further service of that
nature Let Europe settle her own
rows among her own nations. keep off
the grass of South America and re-
spect the Monroe doctrine generally.
