Young is sitting in seclusion, moping
over his defeat for the Senatcrship, he
does not know the man. 2Ir. Young
is not built that way. He is a valiant,
courageous man who can give and
take with equal grace. hard fighter
he IS also a good loser. He will go
right on boosting for Iowa and for
the republican party. and will con-
tinue to be factor in both state and
national politics.
Early in his campaign. Mr. Yiung

PRIMARY PUBLICITY.


Every time we have primary cleo
ton we hear much complaint about the
large amount of money which IL ex-
pended by candidates and their friends
in sending out circulars and printed
matter to the voters. 1t is said that it
costs 5000 to properly circularize the
state with one cent envelopes and
enclosures. This, indeed. Is a burden to
candidate and practically shuts out
a man Of moderate means from enter
ing a primary contest. We believe tina.
North Dakota has the right idea on
this subject. as its law provides for
publicity for all candidates being made
Under state supervision. About twenty
days before the primary publicity
pamphlet is issued and mailed to ev-
cry voter. A schedule Of prices which
is charged the candidate for this pub
licity costs at the rate Of SO to 500
per page. A candidate is limited to
three pages. 1t is said that for this
years primary that 80 per cent Of the
county officers and IS per cent Of the
candidates for congressional and state
offices have taken space in this pub
licity pamphlet.

AT MARKET DAY.


We went to a church market the
much Of anything; we have gone to
ter, going thru snow and rain as well
as sunshine, and in each instance we
have come home with q biscuit or two
perhaps few cookies and maybe
pint of beans. The reason for our
meager list was not our unwillingness
to buy. rather 1t was that there was
nothing much to buy due to a peculiar
condition OF affairs.
Every market We have attended we
have seen elegant cake. pies. bread
and various good things Of the kitchen
placed on sale, only to be Informed
when we sought to purchase. that the
article in question had been sold the
day before to some member of the
society holding the market And this
seems to be the plan on which the To-
cal church markets are run. Mrs. A.
tells Mrs. 3. she Will take her cake
and Mrs. B. takes Mrs. AS pie. And
when this exchanging within the par
ticular church giving the market has
been completed, there remains but lit
tie for outsiders save a biscuit or two
few beans, and his trip for nothing
After carefully considering the mat
ter we have reached the conclusion
that the ladies could save a lot of time
and energy by disseminating the pub
lie market and merely establishing a
mutual exchange. since that is about
what the market has become. We have
heard objections from the ladies'
themselves to the present condition of
affairs, and no doubt there will creep
into the church market in due course
Of time. that new commandment, Love
thy neighbor as myself" and the pub
lie at large will stand an equal chance
with the ladies giving the market, and
the cakes and pies and choicest things
will not be bargained for in advance
but will be sold over the counter as
they should be.

Topics of the Times

When it is remarked that the fire

their capital and yet divided forty per
cent on stock holdings last year per-
haps the defeat Of Senator Van Law
finds one avenue Of explanation.
Lafe may be getting along in years
but he can still skin the cat" like a
twelve year old.
II every man S.ho would like to
have ticket to the convention cou!o
get it and be present viva voce vote
of the entire republican party could
be taken and the matter settled off
hand.
Ed Chassers victory is one most
gratifying TO his hundred thousand
friends over the state. Most Of Chas-
sells active friends accepted AS fore
gone conclusion that Chased must be
from the very nature of the man the
choice Of the voters and forgot to
boost for him. In consequence thous-
ands of votes went for other candidates
that ordinarily would have been for
Mr.. CHASED. who Is one OF the truest
progressives and straightest men and
mos. valuable public officials in the
state.
This Kenyon Young contest is, as
Lafe himself concludes fair test Of
progressiveness and standpattism in
-
patism is dead. Its tail may wriggle
Until shutdown but it is dead just the
same Why not come from the funeral
and start right?
The Sioux City Journal says Mr..
Young is "impulsive and given 70
zeal" 1t consoles him with the thought
that possibly the man defeated is the
man who has Won" 1t is kindly act
no doubt of intent to comfort and as
suage but the Journal understands that
the swelling which follows political
singing is slow to subside. Never the
less the Capital applied the poultice at
once. The Journal, however good its
intentions, can hardly tell LATE how to
take beating. consistently.
The best way out Of the cul de sac
in which the republican party finds
itself is to nominate A. B. Cummins
and get together and elect him.
The Kenyon victory did one thing;
it brought the Cedar Ra pids Republican
out strong for Kenyon. The Republican
can save more grease from fallen
slice Of bread and butter than any
other newspaper in the state.
Nobody would object TO the cost OF a
senatorial bath. even at IS throw if
it really made them all clean.
Now get to Senator Lorimer's case
as soon az possible. Get rid of him.
He has stuck around the senate long
enough.
An ounce Of decent and honest &C
ton on the part Of the national COM
mittee is more than tons of campaign
literature afterward.
It is perhaps poor consolation but
Paul Stillman can have more fun with
the Jefferson Bee than he could have
had In congress. And Jefferson is a
better place to live in than Washing
ton anyway. A fellow has real neigh

MA1 CAN NE nn2

"A common inquiry by church broth
erhoods and kindred organizations is:
What can we do for the children. what
can be done for the neglected children
and the children Of the poor? To this
they may add what can we do for the
children who are growing up in i,ht-
eracy and whose opportunities of edu-
cation are foreshortened. For. accord
ing to the Child Labor Bulletin, a nsw
quarterly issued by the national COM
mittee on child labor, there are more
than 100000 illiterates in the United
States, and one in seven of all children
between 10 and IA are not in school.
Iowa is not North or South Carolina.
Neither is It Ohio, Oklahoma Illinois
or Michigan. The Carolinas connive
with the manufacturers in child slav-
cry. The other states mentioned above
throw legal safeguards about childhood
and make provision from the public
funds for the assistance of widows
with children. Iowa pronounces against
child labor but forgets the widows.
When the organizations which in the
spirit OF helpfulness and the sincere de-
sire to be Of assistance asks these
questions one answer Is ready and at
hand: Help the widows with children.
That opportunity is open in every town
and city in Iowa. It is under the eyes
and at the hands Of the seekers for
avenues Of helpfulness There isn't

usually with enthusiasm a proposition
TO spend $4,000 to 5000 year making
streets attractive and beautiful with
electroliers. 1t is to the credit Of the
citizenship Of the city that We do 30.
But how would we consider a PROPOSE
ton which would appropriate 500 an
nualiy to each Of twenty-five widows
with children whom they are endeav-
oring 20 bring up In decency to decent
future citizenship? Would our answer
be enthusiastic or even affirmative
and would 1t be entirely crsditable to
our own citizenship?
How can the widow with children
who goes out to work for the price Of
daily existence watch over her chill
dren and without her watchfulness
what Of the children. How can the
boy Of II stay in school when few

tory while his mother grows more hag-
gard day by day over the wash tub?
When the church brotherhoods and
the other organisations which are built
and maintained about the new spirit Of
humanitarianism and religion meet, let
them consider the widow and her chill
