The people misiudge alfalfa. They
nisjudge it as the billed clothes story

According to this libelous yarn. a
Harvard professor visited the west on

complained about this.

rancher. 7 don't seem to get my rest.
My boots especially incommode me-
so the llospitable rancher stretched
a cowskin across the shack. and that
night the Harvard professor slept in
his long white nightgown by himself.
"a. daybreak the night foreman
came in while the professor was still

SHOPMEN.S WELFARE LEAGUE.
Waterloo Courierl


II there IS any movement that should
be encouraged by public spirited citi
zens OF Waterloo it is the newly organ
lied 'Shopmen's Welfare League" This
is an organization of shop workers for
the furtherance Of physical. mental.
moral and social welfare of the en-
ployes of the more than one hundred
factories of the city. Its management
will hold social. religious and athletic
classes after working hours for the
benefit of the members
There is no class of men so much in
need OF these aids as the workers in the
shops for the reason that their working
hours exclude them from many Of the
activities INDUCED in by other men,
while their surroundings and compan-
ions are not always conducive to the
highest moral encouragement. Busy
men from other walks of life may spend
precious time in endeavorng TO make
shop mems life brighter and cleaner
tuence as an organization among the
shopmen themselves.
This is enacting into reality the mes
sage brought by Billy Sunday-the
brotherhood Of all men in the cause of
righteousness. This is carving into
fruition the amalgamation and level
ing OF all classes OF people under one
banner which was begun at those
memorable meetings. We wish the new
organization healthy growth long
life. success and God-speed.

WHERE cr'MM1Ns IS A F-A1LUR

iSioux City TribuneJ
There is leadership in politics. or in
public life. that should give a larger
following than the personality of any
leader. II is the leadership OF intellect.
OF a good heart represented by sound
mind.
AS machine leader. as boss. as an
organization worker. Senator Cummins
may be put down as a complete failure.
Any man in his position with the in
st1nct of Il boss would have interfered in
'he struggle OF the legislature this
year to select his colleague. Every
man with the traditions Of machine
politics in his heart feels that the sena :
tor missed great opportunity when he
falled to concentrate public opinion up-
on some one man; when he refused to
declare in favor OF some one man upon
whom his friends and supporters might
unite But Senator Cummins has never
assumed to interfere in such a way or
under similar circumstances He at
tends to his duties. does what he thinks
ne ought to doand appeals to the en-
tire public for Judgment upon his rec
ord 1T is the wonderful ACCOMPLISH
ments OF the man that make him one
OF the leading figures in the nation to-
day.
Failure to interfere in the election OF
successor to Senator Dolliver un-
doubtedly piqued every friend worthy
to be that successor. but reflection will
teach those who may be peeved that
the senator has done the fairest by
them. the most that he could reason
ably do for them when he kept his
hands OF and kept the field open for
every friend to have fair trial on his
individual merits. The Tribune feels
that time will justify the course Of the
senator In this, Meanwhile, 1t agrees
with Governor Larrabee. in the letter
following. that the senator's good
work has already far exceeded ANYTHING
they had any right to expect In the
end this good work will outweigh, on
the side OF the senator. all criticism Of
him because he will rot be a boss.
