DOING THE SILT"

[Cedar Rapids Republican,
Senator Kenyon is very hopeful and
ex-senator Young is absolutely sure.
They are pair Of fine fellows. and 1t
is too bad that they have to be run
ming against each other. One or the
other ought to have waited until the
next time.
THE PROPS AT AME9.
[Iowa City Republican,
A story county man, writing to the
Register and Leader, complains that
Professor Kennedy of Ames has been
putting up Autographs for George w.
Clarke in Story City, and asks. why
don't the professors at the college at
terd to the work they are hired to
do?" The Register and Leader heads
the communication professional Jeal-
ousy."
The story county man Is apparent
ly correct in stating that "the profess
sors OF Ames college are out actively
working against their confrere.",
Their reason cannot be included In
the term professional jealousy, how
ever There are numerous reasons
why they are against Holden. They
know, in the first place, from the rec

Holden is not qualified to hold any

PRIMARY sTAY-AT-HoMEs.

If bill was introduced In the
coming legislature to repeal tne
primary law, there would be tre-
mendous protest from the 40 per cent
OF the voters, who, two years ago. die
not think enough Of the primary to &c
to the polling place, and express theiI
choice for nominations upon theiI
party ticket.
Two years ago, IN Greene county
more than a thousand republicans ddo
nos go to the primary election.
What would these thousand repub-
licans say If the primary law was tc
be repealed? AS a matter Of curiosity
we would like 10 take down, by phono-
graph. their remarks upon the subject
A reproduction Of same, in the usual
way. would not make very harmonious
music.
The farmer says. I'm too busy n
the fields to go to the primary"
To a large extent the farmers
prosperity depends upon the good
management OF the business affatrs
Of county, state and nation. Can II
be then, that his fields are more i'm
portant than his vote?
With centralized voting places. a.
we have in Greene. the average
farmer does not have to be away
from his fields more than two hours
in order to cast his vote. Some
would require more time. but many
OF them can make it in one hour
In two hours the ordinary team car
go four miles and back. and allow
time to vote. But suppose it takei
three hours. Isn't three hours time
devoted to looking after mans rights
as an American citizen, worth the ct.
fort?
The reason many wrongs have beer
perpetrated, in politics and officia
afYairA in the past has been be-
cause Of the indisposition OF thu
citizen. He has not always taken al
interest in the selection of thos'
who have had charge Of public onice'
and public expenses.

HUGHES OR CUMM1NS!

It is becoming more evident every
day that Taft and Roosevelt are oee-
tined to eliminate themselves ana eacl
other from the presidential race. a
third candidate is now looked to IN the
east as we'll as in the west as GER
tainty. Strangely enough there seems
to be a paucity Of sound material. Inere
has been a great deal of talk IN 1aVof

court. But 1t is doubtful II Hugnes
would accept a presidential nomina-
ton, which is only a bird IN the oush'
at the sacrifice Of his present positlon'
which is a bird In the hand and no'
one to be despised. 1t can also be saio'
almost with certainty, that justice

would not aspire to the succession

There was just one element of
strength Mr.. Taft reatined with the
people and that was pity born of their
beliefe that while he meant to do
right he failed because Of bungling

We are so positive that we can re-
lieve constipation, no matter how
chronic it may be, that we offer to
furnish the medicine free of all cost

We think that it is worse than use
less to attempt to cure constipation
with cathartic drugs. Cathartics may
do much harm. They may cause a
reaction, irritate and weaken the
bowels, and make constipation more
chronic.
Constipation is often accompanied
and may be caused by weakness OF
the nerves and muscles of the large

you must therefore tone up and

them to healthier activity.

UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
ITEMS.

Governor Chase s. Osborn will de-
liver the address on the occasion of
the Washington birthday celebration.
In 1904 there were only twenty
four University of Michigan alumni
organizations Today there are an
even hundred, with others still form
ing. No other fact is needed to indi-
cate the far-reaching influence of
Michigan's greatest institution.
Within the past two years the Gen
eral Alumni Association of the Uni
versity has organized an Alumni Ad-
visory Council, which is made up of
members elected by the various local
Alumni Associations that have fifty
members or more. This Council has
already expressed itself as heartily in
favor of carrying forward the cam
pagn for funds for the erection Of the
new home for the Michigan Union.
Within the past year the Univer-
sity has taken steps to effect the or
ganization of all the counties in the
state. Over forty Of these local asso-
Citations have been organized, and in
every instance some representative
of the University has met with them
at their first meeting. in many cases
President Hutchins himself There
remain only twelve counties to be or
gained. This work will undoubted
ly be completed before the end of the
present year
These county organizations are pri-
marily intended to bring the great
body OF Michigan's alumni within
the state in closer touch with the
University; to let them know what
the University is accomplishing; to
ask for the moral support and inte-
rest. There are nearly ten thousand
graduates within the state of Mich-
gan. Once definitely organized, these
alumni will exert a powerful influence
for good in helping the University to
achieve its highest efficiency in serv-
ing the state.
Flourishing alumni organizations
exist, not only in all the large cities
of the United States from New
England Association in Boston and
the large and exceedingly enthusiast
tic organization in New York City, to
San Francisco, Portland, and Los An
geles, but in Porto Rico, the Hawa-
ian Islands, the Philippines and ia
pan. The recent alumni dinner in
New York City was the largest event
of the kind ever held in the United
States. There was almost a thou
sand alumni in attendance, and among
them were twenty members of Con-
gress.
An annual athletic tax of FIVE dol
lars. to be added to the regular en-
trance fee, was adopted by the Re-
gents at thir meeting last week. This
fee will admit all students to every
game or contest, and will be imposed
upon the women as we'll as the men.
Three-hfths of the tax paid by the
women will be credited to the inn
provement fund for Palmer Field, the
girls outdoor playground A per-
manent fund will be provided for the
maintenance of Ferry Field, the mems
athletic grounds. Any student who
objects to the additional tax may petit
ton the Regents to have the fee alb
rogated in his own case.
