cuM'M1Ns' CANDIDACY.

Iowa can present the candidacy OF
Senator Cummins with full knowledge
that its favorite son possesses by as
large a degree as any candidate yet
mentioned the statesmanlike qualifica-
lions for this highest office in the
United States. Progressive beyond
doubt, he is withal broad minded, ap-
preciative Of the theories and desires
OF all classes Of republicans. Honest to
the core, he is well versed in those
subtle arts of legislation which are cal
culated to make him not merely an
enthusiastic but an effective champion
Of the peoples rights. The state Of
Iowa has no hesitancy in presenting
the name Of Cummns against all ira
ditions that she is located this side OF
the Mississippi river, is solidly repub-
licaa and has never dared to hope for
the honor before.
That Senator Cummfns will have a
large support outside Of his own state
is already apparent. The candidacy is
pleasing both in the east and in the
west. The prestige gained by Iowa
whether the senator be successful or
not will be Of lasting proportions, and
the good will due to a reunited repub-
licanism in this state will be an effect
OF untold political value. Iowa ana
Iowa's favorite son are to be congratu-
lated on the important decision reached
at Washington last Saturday.

STICKING TO THE JcR.

A. =. Kepford's candidacy for lieu
tenant governor is an opportunity to
shift q man from a department where
he 10 extremely useful to another
wherein he may or may not be sue
cessful. Mr.. Kepford has been the
Iowa missionary against tuberculosis.
In this field he has been highly use
full and has now attained to personal
acquaintance and standing with the
press and with persons which would
double his usefulness.
With full appreciation of Mr.. KEEP
ford's exceptional abilities in general
and with understanding and sympathy
for his personal ambitions it would
seem pity to take him from his great
work just at the climax of his useful
ness. The system is now organized
fairly. Kepford is the best man in the
state to direct it. He can be more USE
full to Iowa as a publicist on tuber
culosis than any other and than he
could be as lieutenant government.
Modern life has become very much like
a well organized factory. The division
of labor is systematic. The heads OF
departments are specialists
Mr.. kepford would no doubt make
an efficient lieutenant governor He is
a man Of high class ability. But if he
were to stick to the job he has he
could be especially valuable.
Where men are especially useful is
the real place for their service.

good in the senator's candidacy in two
ways. If the senator is accorded his

test. and wins, he would Go everything
to his power to ohliterate factional

farm in those days was not bed of
roses for a boy, or for anybody else, so
far as comfort goes, and Gaynor had
blade a rod or SO to cover a hill of
corn. So he wrote to Mr.. Greeley, ask
ing whether he had best come to the
city. Greeley told him to stay away
from this modern Babylon" In telling

Gaynor added that he tried to keep
away but drifted to the city at last,

Greeley is probably standing pat on
