The Democratic Lineup.

The apparent play of the Clark
forces of late has been to decry Will
son as lost hope in the democratic
presidential race, simply to dismiss
the New Jersey governor from all
consideration. But that will not quite
work when the situation is canvassed
from a disinterested point of view.
Indeed, Wilson's managers cite the
figures to show that he will go into
the Baltimore convention with the
largest pledged delegation, 366 to date,
Jas against Clark's $40, Underwood s
Sc, Harmon's S5, Foss' SO, Marshall's
80, Baldwins IA and Burke's 10. None
|of these figures in themselves really
|amount to anything when it is re-
membered that it takes two-thirds to
nominate. Governor Marshall of
Indiana is being mentioned more and
more as the man who may win the
nomination, while it is possible to find
many leaders who say off hand that
both Wilson and Clark are out of it.
With Mr.. Bryan yet to reckon with
and ever yet, the democratic situation
is purely guess. There are reasons
that seem to make Harmon and I'm
derwood impossible, but such reasons
to an outsider do not suggest them
selves strongly as to Clark, Wilson
Bryan or Marshall Marshall is being
groomed as a man who has offended
nobody and could be endorsed by al
factions. This may yet make him the
nominee and then defeat him in No
vember-Omaha Bee.

Overdress and underworld, lack of

sinatiOn, one degenerate creepS into
the house at night and with his axe
murders helpless women and children
in their sleep, another abusing the
power of his profession, seeks by an
onymous attack to wound and to en-
ter the life of one equally as helpless
bitter the life of one equally as help
less to defend as the woman murder
ed in her sleep. The deeds show equal
courage. No-not equal courage, for
the midnight assassin takes some
chances while the assassin of charac-
ter does not.
There is no justification, no excuse,
no defense for such crimes as these.
No matter what jealousy may rankle,
no matter what insane hatred, no
matter what rage Of envy, there is no
justification, no defense, no palliat-
ing circumstance. 1t is the accepted
theory that the Villisca murderer
Drained the sleeping women and chill
dren because of his hatred of one
member of the family. Perhaps the
same motive applies in other cases,
but even so, there is no Justification
no defense.
But in spite of assassins, either of
the body or of the soul, we have in
creasing faith that the spirit of chiv-
airy is not dead.
At Villisca the horror at the crime
is shown by the hot anger of the peo-
pie and for such other equal crime,
the cold contempt of decent men and
women is equally indicative of the
feeling of the community.
There are men to whom "noblesse
oblige" means something. 1t means
the right to protect the weak, not to
SANDER them; it means the courage to
meet an equal foe on equal terms; it
means the obligation to be gentle
men. These men are vastly IN the ma
jority; the others are but foul excres-
cences defacing the otherwise fair
form of American manhood.

THE PITY OF 1T.

The finest thing that walks the
earth is a young and innocent girl.
When God, out of his perpetual kind
ness and loving mercy, gave a girl
baby to family He has granted one
of the supreme gifts of His power.
Nothing in all the world approaches
in purity of physical beauty and sweet
ness of mind the innocence of girl
hood. 1t is as sacred as the ark of
the covenant, a holy thing to be kept
in tenderness and guarded with fidel-
ity. With a girl baby is born infinite
possibilities of goodness or of impur-
ity. In the travail of childbirth is
born responsibility Of parenthood, not
alone the responsibility of parentage,
but general responsibility for the
training and teaching and guarding
of that child from evil which rests
upon every decent man and woman in
the community and state and nation.
For as we are our brothers keeper
SO are we parents and guardians of all
children.
But how much do we realize this
responsibility? The streets of every
city after nightfall are moving pic.
lures of parental and neighborhood
irrespcS sibility and denial of the
claims of childhood. The story OF the
young girl gone wrong is told over
day by day, with tears and with
sneers. But the pity of it, the terrible.

The Supervisorship,.

Despite the warnings of Me- Chas.
Smith, the veteran democrat. OF Union,
the democratic electors failed to give
place for a representative, of the
west side of the county on the super
visor ticket. The democrats of Union
and Boyer have stood firm for the
party for years, but now their cry
goes UNDECIDED. On the east side of
the county there can he found two
members of the board practically liv-
ing in one township. Mr.. Holland is
at Vail, and Mr.. Hagge. while credited
to Hayes township, is to all intents
and purposes resident of West Side.
There is no fairness and justice
about this placing of supervisors. One
of these gentlemen should have volunh
tarily declined to be candidate, but
the best of men, once in, want to keep
right in as Office holders. This; is
most evident from the willingness of
the present occupants of the cuurt
house to run again.
As the Germans and the Irish voters
make up the strength of the, demo-
cratic party in the county it is but
natural that they hold the Offices of
supervisor among themselves.
The democrats of Union who are
largely of those whose parents were
born in America, put forward one Of
their number, Mr.. Fishel, for super
visor. He is most capable man, is
young, full OF business ability. His
case was placed before the democratic
voters.
The justice of his candidacy was
unheeded, and as far as the demo
Gratis are concerned, the board of
supervisors remains in the hands of
the voters whose votes make up the
bulk of their party.

cHlvALRY.

It is many years since Edmund
Burke lamated, "The age of chivalry
is gone"
It is true that the armored knight
has passed. that the joust and tour
ney are gone. that the glittering
pageant of the Field of the Cloth of
Gold will never mere be seen; but we
viii net yield that the spirit of ehiv-
airy is dead.
Valor, honor, courtesy, truthfulness,
respect for women, strength for the
weak, we're all parts of the knightly
code, and we do not believe that these
have passed from the hearts of mon.
We believe there are still those who
have chat chastity of honor which
feels stain like wound" who are
valorous in the cause of right, who
are courteous and kindly, who are as
tender and considerable with the weak
as they are bold and courageous with
the strong.
That there are exceptions, that
there are men clinging eagerly to the
title of gentleman, who are unmind-
full of the TRUTH who show their cOur-
age by waging anonymous war on
women, but proves the rule, and the
adherence with which such actions
are held by the good people of any
community is but higher proof that
the spirit of chivalry still lives.
The gentle Louise NJ Alcott, dearly
loved of our childhood, once said
1.-THE only chivalry worth having is
that which is readiest to pay defer
ence to the old, protect the feeble, and
serve womankind regardless of rank
age or color"
We believe this "only chivalry
worth having" is not extinct and that

Dunn of Cerro Gorxo.

The brilliant young democrat, Mr.
Dunn, of Mason City, is to be congrat.
ulated on his termination for governor
by his party in Iowa.. Coming, Oh the
field of action at time when demo
cratic success in slie nation seems in
view by reason of the division of, the
republican party, Me-. Dunn has be-
fore him an important political career.
Gifted with the power of animating
oratory he came to the front as lead
err among those operating along farm'
ers' cooperative lines. Mr.. Dunn be.
gan his career opposing combines and
capitalistic forces trying to run a
farmers elevator at Burchinal, Iowa,
the next station south OF Mason City
on the Great Western. There was the
usual struggle to get tire railroad
company to give the site for an ele-
vator on, the right of way. This was
taken up with the railroad commits
sioners resulting in an order for the
farmers to build if they wanted to.
Dunn entered into the fight with the
enthusiasm of youth. TO him. the Of
fcers of the old line elevator company
were devils with horns. They re-
presented monopoly, plutocraGy, mon
ey power, arrogant capital thu forces
intent on grinding the laboring class
es into industrial slavery. He read
with devouring passion, the wrds OF
Bryan and his early speeches were
rehashing of the high sounding
OF the Peerless LeadaH..
Cerro Gardo County, under tina wise
leadership Of Norman Densmore was
one of the first in the state to start
sane moment for cooperation among
the farmers, and the atmosphere was
such as to- cause Mr. Dunn to forge |
to the front as an exponent of al state
wide association along this line. Such |
was his enthusiasm that he was made
secretary of the farmers cooperative
plants In this office he was dilligent
and became we'll known. 1t is not
difficult to see that with his ambition
gift of speech, cunning to ride \ pop
liar movement, he would come to the
'front.' as candidate on the democratic
ticket and be chosen. He is a, man of
'hrewdness and ability, and Will have

Recently Sent Out.

Washington. Dec. a. There is

nations of j. G. Peters as register
and James w. Roberts as receiver
of the Great Pals land office.

These nominations will be referred

probably will remain there until

If it is done, Senator Meyers

by President Wilson to
