When Judge Prouty was a candi-
date for congress against Hon, j. A.
T. Hull he pranced up and down
the Seventh district like a roaring
lion. Now the Judge is as meek
and humble as a little lamb. Re-
sponsibility makes a difference.

Fred Myers, postmaster at Deni-
son, has resigned the position. We
believe this is the first time in the
history Of Iowa when a postmaster
drawing a salary of $4,000 per year
let go Of it voluntarily. There is no
danger, however, of the Myers way
becoming q c%ontagion.

Chairman Hilles is the champion

1t is said that President Taft has
a remarkable memory. However, he

not holding an Office or was not a
candidate for office.

Probably the chief reason why
congress does not adjourn is because
members seeking reelection are

A FEW YEARS AGO.

Freeman-Tribune, June 26, 1906:
There is no danger of the republican
party of Iowa being disrupted unless
the railroad machine carry out their
plan to steal the state convention! If
they have a majority of the fairly
elected delegates there will be no
disposition to question their right to
control, but the republicans of the
state will not quietly submit to such
brazen grand larceny as Hunter
wants to commit in order to land
Scott and Delaware and other coun-
ties in the standpat column. The
buying of a county like Chickasaw
might be tolerated, but such a bung-
ling job of theft as has been under
taken in Scott and Delaware is too
brazen to ask anybody to uphold.
June 26, 1906: Gov. Cummins:
I am not a standpatter in anything.
1 am one Of those who believe that
high as we are camping tonight up
the mountain of civilization, we
shall camp still higher tomorrow
night. In the matter Of tariff l
want to see resolutness enough,
courage enough to take a schedule
down when it ought to come down,
and / want to see the spirit in the
party that will enable this to be
done without disturbing the thous-
and and one items of the tariff law
about which there are no COM
plants. I believe there are some
things here that ought not to be,
and I do not intend to leave them as
blots on our civilization if anything
l can do can remove them"

LOOKING BACKWARD.


Hampton Chronicle, June, 1906:
The victory of Gov. Cummins in this
county Friday was most gratifying
to his supporters. The Perkins peo-
pie put up a hard fight, but the
1000 majority for the governor
shows that the people of this county
desire his nomination. The result
in the state at this time shows the
governor to be in the lead. The
people are with the governor in this
fight for reform, but the railroad
machine is making the biggest fight
in the history of the state to defeat
him.
Freeman-Tribune, June 10, 1906:
| Republicans of the state can now
see the necessity of a statewide
primary law such as Gov. Cummins
has advocated. Under such a prim-
airy the d~isgraceful proceedings in
the caucuses at Waterloo, Cedar
Falls, Red Oak and other towns
could not take place, and there
would be an end to such purchases
as took place in Chickasaw and Du-
buque counties. If Gov. Cummins is
reelected and a Legislature chosen
in sympathy with him on this ques-
ton a primary election law will be
enacted that will insure honest and
fair nominations.
Freeman-Tribune, June 10, 1906:
Ralph Robinson of the Newton Jour
nal, one of the grand old men OF the
Iowa press is now in favor Of a state
primary law. Mr.. Robinson was
formerly opposed to such a law,
but the Jasper county v
ton converted him. He was in Des
Moines the other day and was
"seen'' by the interviewer of the
Register and Leader, who reported
him as saying:
Il never saw anything worse than
this except once, that was in Illinois
when / was reporting the democratic
convention and some one started a
riot by calling another attendant at
the exercises several names. The
first thing I knew whiz went q GUS
pidor acros the desk in front OF
me and then the storm broke.
What did you do?" why, sir,
what do you suppose a man of dis
erection would do in a democratic
riot? / sat down under the table
and continued to take notes"

term six years. The six years is all
right, but if the people want to
elect a man to a second, third,
fourth, fifth or any number of terms
they ought to have the privilege.
Let the people rule. The constitu-
ton already hampers too much.

Prof. Wilson is not showing the
courage of his convictions, He ar
CUES that protection is wrong in
theory and in practice and ought to
be wiped out. But the process mus
be slow, gradual. If the principle
and practice are wrong why not
wipe them out at once? The soon
err a robber is put out of business the
better for the country.
Senator Kenqon's frank statement
that he will support the republican
ticket is nothing more than was ex-
pected of him. He is the nominee
of the republican party for senator
and could not be expected to ask for
support from a party while he was
opposing it's head. There are just
two honest courses open to republi-
can candidates this year. One is tc
support the ticket, if they car con-
s~cientiously do so. If they cannot
do that they should withdraw. Sen
ator Kenyon has demonstrated that
he is no trimmer. Upon two differ
ent occasions he has spoken in fav.
or of the ticket since the republican
national convention and those who
know the man will believe him sin.
cere. Progressive republicans who
are supporting Roosevelt will re-
spect Kenyon for the stand he has
taken. How different is the Kenyon
way from the Prouty way. Mr..
Prouty lodges the question, Kidding
behind a law which he CONSTITUTES tc
his own liking to fit the present sit
uation. y,..a~

SAYS Bro. MCGUIRE of the jack
son CASH Book:
The editor of the st. Louis
Republic who has been writing such
strong editorials in that paper,
telling why Champ Clark should
be nominated for president, has
quit the Republic and gone to take
the position as editor of the New
York World where he will write
just as strong editorials trying to
show why some other candidate
should be nominated. Thus it is
the syndicated plutocratic press
"moulds public opinion" The
editors of that class of papers are
mere intellectual machines, grind
ing out ''influence" by the meas
ure for the purpose, and in the in
terest of, the men behind the
scene who own and control the pa
pers.
l endorse every word of this. If
the heart be not behind the pen,
its product is as sounding brass
and tinkling symbal. Ii is a COM
mercial product, to be rated not
by the honesty of conviction but
as a commodity p~urohasable, even
as the fatted steer and the blooded
roadster. When | read an edito-
rial l like to think that the writer
is barring his heart to me-not
putting words together in sentence
es which belle his own convic-
tons, and selling his English at
SO much per to the first customer
that offers a price. 1t is this COM
mercialism of the daily press
which has, to a great extent, de-
stroyed its usefulness as teacher
and leader. IT'S pity that the
Hydes, the Greeleys and the Danas
are of the past.

HON. w. r. PAINTER of Carroll

Will Painter was elected to this

than embarrass his party with a
contest which would prevent legis.
lative work until settled, he let
his opponent have an Office to

think MI. Painter is entitled to the
nomination for this reason alone,
and for the reason that he has
superior qualifications for the Of

SENATOR HEPBURN, of Idaho,
has made three separate attempts
this winter to have the Canadian
Reciprocity act repealed. Inas-
much as this act was not accepted
by Canada, there is no earthly
use repeating it. But Hepburn
has a reason. Along with the Re-
ciprocity act Congress passed an
acttoremove the duty on Canadian
wood pulp. This became effective
with the passage of the Recipro-
city act, and did not require the
concurrence of Canada. To re-
peal the whole act would also re-
peal this provision, hence the
paper trust is extremely anxious
to have the Reciprocity act repeal
ed. Newspapers have, from time
to time, fully demonstrated Hey
burns uselessness. Hence he is
anxious to "get even" AT least
that is the charitable explanation
of his activity.

IT seems to be unfortunate for
Mr.. Cowherd that he was so late
in making his intentions known to
enter the gubernatorial race. The
sentiment had begun to center
around other candidates before he
made his wishes known. The
Democratic party had a strong
candidate in Mr.. Cowherd four
years ago, but he was defeated as
the result of pickering in his own
party, and not really on account
of his unpopularity. We under
stand that Attorney General Major
would not have announced for
the governorship if Mr.. Cowherd
had made his wishes known a
year ago.-DeTter Messenger.
