Bomb. Deadly Work.

Paris is truly a city Of tragedies.
At a quarter past eight the other
morning there was a terrific bomb ex-
plosion on the Place de Montrouge.
Policemen rushed up, and found q
young man of eighteen, Alfred Hervo.
shrieking with pain. and rolling In
agony on the ground. His face and
hands were covered with blood and
his clothes were burning. Two police
men put the fire out, put Hervo in a
cab, and took him to the nearest hos
pital. The other policemen found the
bomb 1t had been made Of two metal
soap boxes tied together, and filed
with powder and nails. Hervo declared
that he knew nothing about the bomb.
He was ON his way to his work, saw
the thing lying on the pavement, and
kicked it OFF into the gutter. 1t broke
open. and wondering what the black
stuff in it was, Heryo lit match and
bent down to find out. An explosion
followed.

CUMMINS' CHANCES.
[Algona Advanced


In the opinion OF many competent
political observers Roosevelt's entry
into the presidential race makes the
nomination Of a dark horse a pregnant
possibility. The president will control
most of the southern delegates and at
the worst. with What support he Sc
cures in the north. will be able to make
very formidable showing. Roosevelt,
of course, will have a big following.
But the prospects are that neither of
them will be in a position to control
the situation. Thus, if they lock horns,
as such irreconciliable elements are
quite likely to do, there will be a break
sooner or later on both sides to some
other man. That man, it is conceded
on all hands. is more likely to be Sem
ator Cummins than any one else.
The senator is leading progressive,
yet he mas managed by the exercise
Of great tact to keep on good terms
with all the great stan6pat leaders,
except possibly, the president. He is
not regarded as a radical like LaFol-
lette and in the east he is considered
less dangerous than Roosevelt.
Senator Cummins' lightning rod in
view of the present situation is there
fore nothing TO be, sneezed at. He has
a real chance. and this being the case,
there should be no more talk in Iowa
of a delegation opposed to his ambi-
tons

EExINs THINGS UP Al HOME.

Texas. once a longhorn but of late
years rapidly grading up to a high
standard Of general purpose, refuses to
grow unduly excited over presidential
campaigns either deiIiooratTic Oh re
publican this year and proposes to fix
things up at home. The Houston Post
advises as much and argues that there
is a great deal doing at home which
should be kept going. The especial
thing the Post suggests is in the line Of
better highways.
Texas is making good roads and likes
it as far as she has got. Recent pub
lished statistics estimate the total
mileage of public highways in the state
at 14o, 00o OF this total, it is estimated
that there are 1880 miles of improved
highway, of which $500 miles may be
considered Of the highest grade. The
coming year will see the total of i'm
proved highways considerably aug
mented. and the unimproved CORE
spondingly reduced. Last year bond
issues to the amount Of sS,915, 500 were
voted on and carried in Texas counties,
which is more than twice as great as
the sum voted for this purpose the
preceding year
There is not the slightest reason,
however, to prevent good citizens from
taking deep interest in national af-
fairs while fixing up things at home.
Indeed the man who isolates his in
terest to state matters lacks much Of
general citizenship. There Is nothing
in the argument that those who are in
terested in national politics must neg
lect their duty to their own states and
communities. On the contrary men
with the broader understanding Of citi-
zenship are invariably leaders in the
processes of fixing up at home.
But aside from all that the figures
Of what Texas has done and is doing
in the matter of good roads and of
what she proposes to do is stimulating
Texas wants population. She wants
the right kind Of immigration and is
going the right way about to secure it.
II there is one thing more than another
which brings desirable immigration in
to a state, boosts the value Of farms
and crowds home markets good roads
are the one thing.

NOT HIS STRONG CLAIM.

[Des Moines Register and Leader.]
Governor Carroll is making be-
lated attempt to give certificates Of
character to the two public utilities
bills the legislature wisely disposed of
during his term.
Iowa should have a public utilities
law, but when 1t drafts one 1t should
not be such law that the confeder-
ated corporations Of the state will feel
like maintaining lobby in Des
Moines at great expense to push it
thru.
The governor will have no trouble
in quoting many wise and good fea-
lures from either bill. They were pretty
shrewdly drawn. 1t is not worth
while now to revive the other features
of them both. nor to point out again
why they were rejected. 1t is enough
to say that they were rejected. and that
the vote against them grew in just
the proportion that their true inward
ness was disclosed.
Governor Carroll has many claims
upon the friendly recognition Of the
state. but his Endorsement Of the
public utilities mea sures of his ad-
ministration is not one Of them.
