The custom of giving state off1c-
ers a third term ought to be knock
ed in the head and slung to the
scrap heap along with other dis
carded rubbish. A state officer, as
well as county or city officer,
ought to go before the people on
merit. If he is worthy and capable,
well and good, but to re-elect man
simply because custom" says he is
entitled to the Office is political non

Some, determined to make career
resolved upon success, look upon ev-

an enemy. They fight the battle,

"to ride through slaughter to a

It is said that DR.. Harry F. Web

that the country might know who
they are. 1t is one of the marvels
that many women will condone man
for an offense for which they would
scathingly denounce one of their
own sex.

If Senator Kenyon succeeds in
getting his Jail sentence clause to
the antitrust bill through congress,
and it receives the signature of the
president, the trusts will be more
particular about obeying the law.
The combinations of great wealth
have little fear of fines. They can
boost prices little and make the
consumer pay court costs, including
the penalty. Such charges go into
the expense account and become a
part of the cost of production. But
when the president of big trust
finds himself behind the bars, in
company with his associates in au-
thority, he will think out some way
to do business according to law in
the future. 1t is not the desire of
Senator Kenyon "r those who stand
with him in this matter, to have
anybody jailed, but it is his wish
as well as the wish of others, to
have the law obcyed and there is
little doubt but that it would be

came much cheaper. Following is

The iowa City Republican was the
first paper in the state to advocate
a presidential preference primary in
Iowa next year. 1t is therefore up
to the Republican to present con-
crete plan by which primary can
be carried out. The editor of the

il he can get volunteers to dig up

The jefferson Free Lance says
that Carl F. Kuehnle of Denison,
who recently returned from a trip
to Europe, has decided not to enter
the gubernatorial contest. When
Mr.. Kuehnle left for the old home in
Germany he said that he would be-
come a candidate upon his arrival
home if the outlook seemed favor
able. AS he has decided not to go
into the contest it is conclusive evil
dence that the outlook is not as
promising as it might be.
When President Taft was at Lar
annie, Wyoming, he spoke to four
hundred school children and piled
them with questions. He asked
them how high it was there. If
they had governor. Whether
Wyoming is a state, or a territory
and If they had senator's The chill
dren answered the questions prompt

ed, what do your senators do?" the
entire four hundred were baffled and
silence reigned supreme. That is a
mighty hard question, even for
adults.
If Gov. Carroll is going into the
insurance business as soon as he gets
out of Office, as reports say, it is to
be regretted. Until the election OF
Gov. Cummins it had been the GUS
tom in this state for ex-state officers
to organize insurance companies,
some of them not of the most sub
stantial character, and use the pres
tige the official position had given
them for advertising purposes. The
stationery Of such companies con-
tanned the officiary somewhat after
the following fashion: President,
Ex-Governor So-and-so; Secretary,
Ex-Treasurer John Doe; treasurers,
Ex-Secretary of State Honest John
Skinfint, etc. Gov. Cummins put
the ban upon this sort of thing and
it has been very unpopular in Iowa
since Cummins assumed the func-
lions of chief executive ten years
ago.
