CUMM1NS' COURTESY.

The Des Moines Capital and the
Sioux City Journal complain bitterly
because Senator Cummins is report
ed to have said to Philadelphia
newspaper man that the districts con-
trolled in Iowa by President Taft are
and have been known for many years
as the Burlington Reservation
They say that this wholesale impeach-
ment Of the motives of the Taft sup
porters is an insult TO Iowa. Too
bad. isn't it? There has been scarce
~ an issue Of either of these papers
in the past six years which has not
published assaults of the most vicious
character upon Senator Cummins and
his supporters. Thru a campaign Of
abuse. insult, cortumely and outrage
Gus falsehood, continued over half
dozen years. Senator Cummins has
never failed to preserve his dignity
and courtesy. LATE Young. himself says
that Senator Cummins treated him
with the utmost courtesy and consid-
Grafton while in the senate. He treats
everyone that way. 1t is one OF the
many fine things about Cummins that
has bound his friends to him with
links of steel. He is too big to engage
in the nasty game of mud singing and
billingsgate practiced by his oppon-
ents in Iowa, chief OF whom are Young
and Perkins.

combinations for pelf and spoils.

ference of opinion as to this. Where
fraud or trickery is attempted. the
courts should be appealed to for RELIEF.
No justification should be afforded BY
any side for charges of violence,
