THE ISSUE.

IDs.: Moines Register and LEADER
We are in the midst of one Of the
mightiest revolutions which ever shook
humanity.
The people vii! have their way no
matter what instrumentalities are
adopted as the means 70 work out the
will. The initiative. referendum and
jrecan are mere instrumentali.ies

Ilieve in competition and rivalry Ny
whole public life has been devoted 10 a
fgh. against monopoly and the power
Of monopoly. If you can curb the un-
due and unfair advanta ges enjoyed by
few the fair distribution of the fruits
of toll among all classes is sure 10 fol-
low naturally.

that earned by the other 10000, 900. The
determination to eradicate these spe-
cial advantages is the basis Of the
peacsble revolution now going on in
this country.
The people do rule. they always have
ruled. they always will rule
No man should talk of the people
in the third person.-Senator Cummins
/ before the Polk county convention.
F., Senator Cummins sounded the key
note Of the progressive movement.
1t is not the method by which we
shall accomplish what is to be done
! it is the achievement
Human rights is the gist Of the
American experiment. Just at this
| time human rights IS more or less a
problem of property rights.
| Every man is entitled to every cent
that he earns. but not to any share
| Of what some one else earns"
That sentence may be made Fourth
OF July platitude or it may be made
| the platform of a peacable revolution
| in the United States.
! Senator Cumnins' whole public ser
vice is the Interpretation his candi-
dacy gives.
| At time when others are sidetrack-
ing on incidental issues it is well to ge,
back to the inspiration of the progress
sive movement.
! The fight for the square deal viii
not be won by aiming at the outer
rings Of the target of privilege, it will
| be won only by aiming at the bullseye
In ten sentences Senator Cummins
has come nearer to the situation thar
all the other candidates in all theil
speeches.

WOMAN IS ON HER WAY.

Much o. the common talk 70 the
effect that women are unified for
practical duties OF politics seems 20 be
disproved by reports OF a session Of the
Political Equality Club Of Des Moines.
1t appears that connected with the SUI
fragist movement in Des Moines is a
mems cooperative CLUB which has a
secretary. II further is suggested thai

ans bequest 10 The suhra gist couse
Certain suffra gists proposed TO Gust
the mere man and put a woman III
his place. The row started as natur-
ally as in any other organization
wherein an office that pays real money
was made by the leading feminine de-
fender OF the secretary that the move
against him was that a woman might
be given the position as state suf-
frage campaign manager because Of the
belief that the office carried with 1t a
salary to be paid from the $1,000 be-
quest referred to. The fair suffra gettes
stamped their dainty feet and made
noise enough to drown the speaker who
had just gotten into the swing of ar
impassioned appeal. Accusation fioated
back and forth. The newspa pers ha6

THE TIRED SCHOOL GIRL

/ he itE-D 81 t1ool. LIttt-.
Manson Democrat
Have you ever observed ;he girl
coming home from school With three
or four books? Instead OF looking
light, strong ana free. she too often
appears weak and tired. The i'm
preston We receive is that she is
0v@-worhel. while the truth is that
the advance lessons il each book are
l~i:i.ng, by no means too great, We're
she strong and healthy. 1t is not
the mental work which is breaking
her down, but the lack Of physical ex-
e-cise 10 build her I'D.
l. the body. during the growing
years, is called on to do nothing which
even half develops it. while the brain
is pushed 10 its utmost, does it take
long 70 decide whether such a COURSE
is light oneo Leaving out entirely
The discomfort 10 the body. is that 4
rational system Of education which
leaves girl .iable 10 become weak. i
not 50 already. before she is well on II
middle ageo Is this not giving great
care 10 her moral and mental educa :
ton alone, and actually doing nothing
for her physical nature? Certainly, this
is ar irrational and one sided course
ard is sure to develop a one sided
person.
A ROTTEN NOMINATING SYSTEM.
Nevada Representative
The idea that Roosevelt and Taft are
Of the same political order is utterly
dissipated; but the rule Of kowtowing
10 the administration holds absolutely.
This is not a repu blican sort of bust
ness. 1t involves the republican party
in -he worst scraDe that this party
ever has been in. We have had faith
and we have faith that the republican
party has in it enough Of virtue to get
itself out Of the scrape; but it has got
to get out And there should be nc
installing the issue. 1t Is not the third
term but the presidential self perpetu-
alton that threatens the destruction of
the republican party. The profound
question is that of recovering for the
republican party the power to make its
own nominations. We hope this may
be done without returning to Roose-
welt, and we are very sure that the
nomination of Cummins would be
vastly more to the good of the party
and to the satisfaction and approval OF
the country. But as for Taft; he never
would have been president but for this
rotten nominating system, and he
would not now have serious chance
for denomination but for that same
system, and if he and the system
should be continued the mind pals at
the thought Of what Taft would pick
for the party and the country to fol-
low him. and the thing to do is to
| beat him and abolish his system.
