cummins Defeats Himself,

Coon Rapids Enterprise: The ten
Cummins delegates to the national
convention have acted like a bunch of
boobies as regards Cummins' inter.
ests, though dispatches state on the
advice of Senator Cummins, himself.
Their first break was in voting for
r. E. Hart for national committeeman
and against John T. Adams, the lat
ter being elected, and again for Nc
Govern for temporary chairman OF
the convention, thus lining UP with
the Roosevelt faction. They thus d.
rectly by both votes antagonized the
Taft forces, which are in the major
ity and able to name the dark horse,

ii would seem has healed the doom of
Cummins as possibility Ones fool
friends are his worst enemy But in
this case Senator Cummins appears to
have digged his own grave. Senator
/ LaFollette took the more sensible
course and advised his delegates from
Wisconsin and North Dakota to vote
for Root, which many Of them did.
LaFollette could now more easily land
as dark horse than Cummins Sen.

possible chance he may have had to

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFoRM.

The platform adopted by the nation
al Republican convention in Chicago
last week is one on which ali Repub-
licans can unite. It's full text has al
ready appeared in The Gate City, but
lest all have not taken time to read
it there Is appended herewith a
number of the fundamental articles
of the Republican creed:
We believe:
In our self-controlled REPRESENTS
tive democracy; u
In government of laws, not of
men;
In order as the prerequisite of prog
ress;
In an untrammeled and independent
judiciary;
In the constitution of the United
States.
We affirm:
That the rights of every individual
to the freest development of his own
powers and resources and to the con-
troll of his own justly acquired proper
ty shall not be interfered with or de-
stroyed
That the social and political struc-
ture OF the United States rests upon
1 the civil liberty of the individual.
! That for the protection of that lib
/ erty the people have wisely, in their
state and national constitutions, put
/ definite limitations upon themselves
and their governmental officers.
That to enforce these limitations
to secure the orderly exercise of gov.
ernmental powers, and to protect the
rights of even the humblest and least
favored individual, are the functions
of the independent courts of Justice
! That an orderly method is provided
by which the people may, when they
choose, alter or amend the constitu
tional provisions which underlie theil
government; that until these provi
sions are SO altered or amended, il
orderly fashion, it is the duty of the
courts to see to it that they are en-
forced
That the Republican party uphold:
at all times the authority and integ
; rity of the courts, and will ever insis
that their powers to enforce theil
processes, and to protect life, liberty
and property, shall be preserved in
: violate.

make tool chests, or rightly to dis
criminate between good and bad fic-
ton.
There seldom is that apt co-opera-
ton between journalists and educa-
tors of community which might
make each group far more serviceable
to the other than is now usually the
case. The Journalist has right to
expect to find some of his best copy
in educational news and in interviews
with educators about civic issues,
large and small, national and local
On the other hand, the educator has g
right to insist that journalists shall
conserve and not destroy intellectual
and ethical ideals either created or re
enforced in the schools, and that the
newspaper read by the child shall
neither vulgarize nor deceive with
statements that are consciously or I'M
consciously inaccurate

that Roosevelt made the nomination

GODS FLOWERS.

GODS FLOWERS.
think they are Gods flowers that
blossom year on year
Deep in the silent places where no
man knows the way.
Far in the tangled thickets, In coun-
tries lone and drear,
On the unconquered hilltops where
vagrant breezes play,
They bud and bloom and wither, they
grow and droop and die
They quaver to the raindrops. they
laugh back at the sun
We call them wasted flowers, such
folk as you and l
But the good God who makes them,
He sees them every one.
The vines are more patient, they
wake to living green,
When comes the call Of summer
their banners are upfurled,
They stop not for complaining because
they are unseen,
They only know their duty within
their silent world
But one day when, unnoticed, they
have done all their task
There comes pilgrim faring on his
unending quest
And he finds shade and comfort
wherein to lie, and bask,
Finds soothing shade and shelter,
and quietness and rest.
Uncounted roses echo the redness OF
the dawn,
Store in their hearts the sweetness
of all the honey dew;
The winds catch up their petals and
bear them on and on
Down trails and over pathways thai
no man ever knew,
But one day some wayfarer comes OF
the perfect rose
And marvels at Its sweetness ant
wonders at its grace,
And all that day thereafter whateve
way he goes
The blessing of Gods flower Hume
his wearied face.
So, then, they are Gods flowers; the.
nod along the I'LL,
They blaze upon the prairie in cal
petings of gold;
They march in summers phalan
across the frowning hill
Until their hidden message the silen
places hold.
A simple thought they foster; Tn
kindly word or deed
May seem to be forgotten in days c
stress and strife,
But every heart-born kindness vi
find your fellows need
And blossom Gods flower
some ones desert life.

The Quality Of the Fight

The following. editorial, taken from
the Sioux City Journal and presumably
written by its editor, Mr.. George Per-
kins, delegate-atlarge is interesting
reading these days:
Here is something for all Republi-
cans, SO called regulars and so called
progressives, to keep in mind for the
good of the party: Theodore Roose-
welt was beaten in the Chicago con-
vention as fairly as any Republican
presidential candidate ever was beat
len in a close contest before a Repub-
lican national convention. Roosevelt
was defeated under the rules, regula
|tions, presidents and practices that
have obtained in Republican president
ial campaigns since the early days of
the party. No old laws were violated
and no new laws enacted to accomp-
llish the downfall of the strenuous one
| from Sycamore HILL So far as polit-
fical ethics are concerned the Chicago
convention was more ethical than the
one in which Roosevelt directed the
Operations Of the steam roller four
years ago.
| The columns of the pro-R Roosevelt
press have teemed with accusations OF
lthievery on the part of the Republican
national committee, the credentials
committee and finally the convention
was filled with similar accusations on
the part of excited Roosevelt parti-
sans. All this outcry was made on the
theory that Roosevelt delegates who
had, been regularly and fairly elected
participation in the convention. No
doubt thousands of good people have
taken these accusations at their face
value. After the excitement is over
every fair minded person will give the
convention the benefit of whatever
doubt there may be until convincing
evidence of crookedness Is produced.
In this connection it should be re
lmembered that Roosevelt raised the
icry of fraud early in the campaign. II

in the North Dakota primary by La

not been fer the frauds practiced b.

lit will be noted that the Roosevelt
forces did not contest the election o
la single New York delegate. WheI

ON every question the minority cared
to submit to the convention. There
was no gag rule.
If the Roosevelt forces had control
of the convention it is certain the
Taft forces would row be protesting
against the unfair and arbitrary man
ner in which the majority had used its
power. It is easy for the side that is
beaten to think it has been unfairly
beaten. When, however, good fight
has been fought and won in the open
under the rules 1t is up to the losers
to accept the outcome. Otherwise party
government must be failure.

ADVANTAGE FROM THE MA
TlONAL DEBT.

The bigger the national debt, the
greater is the national supply of
money under the archaic financial
system under which business in the
United States is forced to operate. If
the national debt were cancelled to-
morrow, there would be no currency,
because all currency is based upon
government bonds The value of
the crop which has just been har-
vested is about equal to the national
debt. But If the proceeds were used
to pay the debt, all currency would
be automatically retired and there
would be no money, except limited
supply of gold, with which to pay the
farmers for their work. All business
and commerce would be paralyzed.
Every country In the world, except
the United States, has a scientific
currency based upon gold and sound
wealth-producing activity, instead of
upon the public debt. President Taft
is attacked by Colonel Bryan, Mr..
Wilson and Colonel Roosevelt for his
support of the senate monetary bill,
which would furnish currency elias
tic enough to stretch so as to move
the bumper crop.
