THE KINDERGARTEN

How wonderful, how wonderful,
These kindergartens be, |
The children quite amaze me
with
The things they bring to me,
They learn to make a peanut shell
Into sugar bowl,
And how to weave red stocking
yarn
Around a doughnut hole.
They learn to ply with skillful
The most artistic capers
And build gorgeous milk-stool
with
Sweet purple tissue papers.
And then when Saturday is come
They stay at home and paste
Pink parasols on fathers pants
And cats on mothers waist.

cUMM1Ns FOR PRESIDENT.

W eDSIeT tlty Herald.
The announcement of the candidacy
of A. &. Cummins for president is
authoratively made from Washington.
It is said the delegatio will give him
support and that he has had encour-
agement from many sources outside of
the state. Mr.. Cummins ought to have
every republican vote in Iowa. He is
a man who has been true to every trust
reposed in him. AS a lawyer he was
true to his client; as governor he was
true to his state, and as senator he
has been true to the cause Of the peo-
pie. There are few men equal to him
in the nation in mental equipment and
self poise. His record in the senate
where he has successfully met in the
arena of debate such men as Aldricn,
Root, and the rest demon strates that in
mentality he has few equals and no
superiors, in the greatest deliberatiye
body in the world. On the great
questions of the day ne is thoroughly
and accurately informed and his views
are in accord with the progressive
thought Of the time. His manners are
courteous and affable and while sur
rendering nothing Of his own ideas he
is tolerant and respectful even polite
to all his opponents. He could never
have made the campaigns he made in
Iowa without money or influential
backing had he not possessed a person
al magnetism which drew men to him
and caused them to spend their own
time and money to advance his politi-
cal interests. Cunlmins is personally
honest and clean in his political life.
His methods are honorable and
straightforward, and his purposes high
and patriotic. There has been a good
deal OF talk Of harmony lately; A. B.
Cunlmins is Of the caliber Of our
greatest statesmen. He is OF presi-
Dental size. Why not give him unit
ed and ungrudging support in the in
terest of the best state in the union?

HELPING WOOoDRW VII SON.

Colonel Wattersons attempt to clear
Colonel Harvey in the matter of the
break between Woodrow Wilson and
the editor of the Harper publications
is in the nature Of a Wilson boost. tho
doubtless intended to have the opposite
ehect. Colonel Watterson and Colonel
Harvey seem to have been hand and
glove together as Wilson boosters. The
Wilson campaign needed funds and the
political coionels proceeded toward rails
ing them. Watterson asked Thomas F.
Ryan for money. He says as the cam
paign proceeded the name Of RYAN
came naturally" into his mind and
knowing him to be Virginian and "a
disinterested man" he appealed to him
1t also appears that when Wilson found
out that this appeal was made he flew
up and created the notable breach be-
tween himself and Harvey and Waiter
son. Wilson refused to ride on any
Ryan money and angrily repudiated
the fnanciering of his friends Then
in the classic language of Kentucky
there was sheol to pay and no pitch hot
Whichever way it came about and
Colonel Wat,erson's explanation must
be taken as candid and truthful. Will
son seems TO have come out of il in
way which will make for him in the
minds of the democratic commonalty.
The biggest thing in the row is that
Wilson refused to be Ryanized That
sticks out And when the voices of
contention are stilled it will remain
prominent. That he had a row with
Harvey and Watterson over an appeal
made on his behalf TO big business to
capitalize his campaign. that he re-
sented the suggestion which such an
appeal always carries with it, isn't 60
ing TO hurt Wilson seriously
| If Colonels Watterson and Harvey
keep up the present gait they are going
to do more to make Woodrow Wilson
popular than all Ryans money could
! have done had the editor of the Louis
vile Courier-Journal succeeded in his
endeavor and Wilson been amenable sin
the hands of his friends"

HER COURT OF LAST APPEAL.

A woman OF "a died as charity pa
tient in an Iowa hospital one day last
week, a woman whose brothers denied
her, whose sisters never spoke her
name to their children and whose
father had cast her off. The minister
who said the short service over her
corpse APPEALED TO Gods mercy for the
worst of sinners and read the story Of
Christ and the scarlet woman as q
message of hope. For this was a lost
woman, who had lived in disrepute and
died of her sins, who had seen the in
side of reformatories and jails, had
eaten vicious bread and Haunted in
silks won with a shameful wage.
Men judged ana condemned her. The
respectable family, Of which she was
an unmentioned member, drew a sigh
Of relief when the sodden cemetery
clay had hidden its disgrace. Judge
and jury, they agreed in the verdict
and it's penalty here and hereafter. It
was the easiest way. She had no ad-
vocate to plead for her.
It is good to believe that her case
will come before the Supreme Judge on
appeal for this earthly verdict and it's
penalty lacked much Of justice. Fourteen
years ago this sunken derelict was one
Of the brightest, most innocent and

I
Albert B. Cummins has announced
his candidacy for the presidency, and
the tongues in Iowa have been started
to wag.
While Cumulins is not our first choice
at this time the nation might go far
ther and do worse than coming to Iowa
for the senior senator.
We know that some will try to raise
a laugh. but we thing that these
Handsome Albert" slurs have about
run their course. While a. B. Cummins
has been sneered at, abused and ridi-
culed, ne has been going ahead and
making d record that the state and ma
ticn may we'll be proud of.
We think it is high time that the
press of the state quit throwing un-
deserved slurs at the men high up in

posed TO Mr.. Cummins should make
their fight in dignifed manner.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

The situation in business is OF
mixed and varied character. While
there is a lessened demand for iron
and steel products-a natural reaction
from the November and December &C
tivity-the volume Of business is we'll
maintained in spite of the falling OH IN
new railroad buying. Large orders for
plates are reported and an advance IN
wire is announced. AS against the
slight recession in iron and steel, there
is a notable growth in the activity OF
the dry goods market in most or It's
branches. cotton goods being in in
creased demand, wool doing well IN
spite Of the strike situation in New
England, and silks being in better re-
quest. The cold weather, while retard-
ing operations in some sections, has
greatly benefited certain trades and on
the whole has helped retail distribu
ton.

on the extent of the European demand,

increase in its use for new domestic
enterprises, Notwithstanding the sound
underlying conditions. Foreign eN-
change is at the highest point in two
years, a natural consequence OF cheap
money. A recent advance in bar sill

during the latest week it aggregated

ports were $15,2O2,S 31, a large increase
over the twop receding years and 81

New business in iron and steel in
cludes additional orders for about 20O,-

of plates and shapes for vessels, and
contracts have been placed for two
large freighters Off delivery on the
lakes next summer Trade in the dry
goods market showed noticeable ex-
nansion this week. Demand for cotton
goods was more general. and while
there was some tendency towards con-
servation, there was good buying in all
standard lines and little or no COM
