A STORY AND A LESSON.

A little story is going the rounds
which carries an important lesson to
corn farmers. At the Iowa corn show
one ear Of corn on exhibition was an
easy winner over all competitors
Shape, size and kernel, the Judges
placed it first. Some Of them pro-
nounced it the beS; ear ever exhibited
at the Iowa show. But the germina-
ton test proved that ii was utterly
worthless as seed ear. 1t had been
frozen and the germ was dead. Not
kernel sprouted.
That's the story and the lesson.
Enough said

Seconded CiIley.

One of the most famous dueis IN
American history was the duel pc
tween Jonathan Cilley and William
]. Graves. which occurred In Febru-
arv 1885 This duel has peculiar
interest to Iowans because George
w. Jones, who later became one OF
the first two United States senators
from Iowa. was one of the seconds.
Jones at the time was delegate 10
congress from the territory OF Wis
consin and he had been busily en-
gagged in securing the establishment
OF the territory OF iowa. Mean
while says DR. Parish in a biography
Of George W Jones, which has re-
Gently been published by the State
Historical Society OF brIowa. ION an
afternoon in February out near the
boundary line Of the District OF Column
bia, four members Of. the lower mouse
OF congress were engaging in func-
ton. which was far from legislative.
AS result Of a challenge for the SAT
isfac,ion of honor. Mr.. Graves Of Ken
tucy and Mr. CIley of Maine, STOOD
some eighty yards apart and fired upon
each other with rifles The third ex-
change of shot was fatal to Cilley, who
died in the arms of his second. George
w Jones Henry A. Wise OF Virginia
was the second of Mr.. Graves. A
more detailed account Of the duel Is
told by Jones in his autobiography,
which follows the biography by Dr.
Parish.

IN WASHINGTON COUNTY.


The result in Washington county
shows a substantial growth Of pro-
gressive sentiment. The county was
fairly progressive at the last primary.
One fair test was the vote on Colo
mel Palmer who carried the county by
only one vote while Thorne carried =
by 315. In this case both. Of them got
a few votes from the opposite faction.
but after making due allowance for
this there would seem to be substan-
tia1 progressive majority. The delega-
tons were also progressive but only
by a majority Of six. This time there
Is large progressive majority IN the
county and the delegations are two to
one progressive, The principal pre-
cincts carried by the standpatters are
carried by a narrow majority, like
eleven in Oregon, six In Crawford and
two In Jackson. This shows q strong
progressive sentiment everywhere and
speaks well for the future However.

While it has been a slow process it is
remarka BILE that there should be any
Improvement at all in the circum-
stances and evidence of actually good
conditions depressed by various causes.
Europe Is suffing acutely from the
trade restriction brought about by a
shutting down of industries unable to
procure fuel. Other countries not di-
richly affected are benefited tenn
porarily by Europe's plight. In the
end, however, strikes, no matter where
they occur, entail a general loss in
which, directly or indirectly, the en-
tire world must share, but in the face
of it all recent trade Improvement has
been noted particularly in the United
States.
Developments of the week offer some
announcement to the business situa-

KENYON VS.. YOUNG.

tNanc hester Press (StanGpab ]
The Press is earnest in the hope
that the people Of Iowa Will return
Mr.. Kenyon TO the senate. He is a
splendid type Of young. clean and
Conscientious American manhood. II
Iowa Will retain him in the senate,
she Will develop statesman for
whom IN time no honor will be con-
sidered too great We have a high
personal regard for Senator Young,
his opponent, but Mr. Young is at
the age when 1t is fair to presume
that his opportunities for leadership
in the senate and for bringing dis
tinction to Iowa In the councils Of the
nation would not be SO great az those
Of Senator Kenyon. No one attempts
TO disguise the fact that eninence In
the United States senate, as IN the
house, is not obtained by brief terms Of
service. Senator Cummins is vastly
more influential in the senate than he
was during the first two years of his
service IN that body. Senator Kenyon
is ircrea sing in popularity and strength
as the sincerity OF his convictions and
the vi-ility Of his beliefs become rec
ognized. He is a modest man and it
is hard for him TO assume the role of
office seeker. The more reason, then.
why his friends in all sections OF the
state should rally to his support and
remove every element Of doubt as to
his nomination at the primaries.

THE DECADENCE OF THE DAY.

st. Patrick's day is following the
Fourth Of July AS our children know
little Of the roaring OF anvils and the
shouting Of Calithumpians so shall!
their children lack active knowledge
of ST. Patrick's day parades. AS a
national and racial holiday the 18th Of
March grows decadent
What is st .Patrick's day without a
parade to us of that elder generation?
To us who have seen Wicklow in line,
marching with Mayo and Cork, who
have heard the cheer Of the sout' Of
Ireland when its blood was high with
memories of 'es and mayhap a smoky
dhrop Of poteen? What does the silent
green of the shamrock say TO US who
have seen the Tapping Harp borne be-
fore mile long files of high stepping
ory of lowlying Irish hills and bogs
emerald in the spring sunshine? Who
have seen Rafferty, ahead on horseback
no prouder Of his place than O'Shea on
foot at the tail OF the procession? Who
have heard an Irish crowd hurroo TO
the eloquence Of John Finerty whin
Jawn was at his besht?
A ST. Patricks day parade in those
old stalwart Irish days is picture to
recall 1t flowed between the crowded
sidewalks like mighty torrent and as
n
for nothing except a brick building or
a baby that had slipped from its
mothers side to wander into the street
Twas "Faugh a ballagh" to all else
Glory be, he was a bold man who at
tempted to cross thru st, Patrick's
day parade, a fool who spoke in dis
paragernent and a maniac who wore
yellow.
You. son, whose father shaved on
the siction. whose mother saved with
the desperate thrift she learned across
Of Notre Dame or some other college
that you might be a dochter or a
la aver, wear purple and fine linen
live on the avenue instead of in Shan
tyrown, mayhap write Hon. before your
name. You, granddaughter, who have
attained social leadership whose tongue
has lost every taste av the brogue'
never take shame TO yourself for your
forbear who marched as a religious
and patriotic duty on St Patrick's day;
for he and Nora Murphy, your grand
mother. who sung Brennan on the
Moor" and keened at wakes and went
mad with memory on Ireland's Day
were the foundation Of all Of you. In
many ways Pat and Nora were bet
ter and drawer than any son or grand
child Of the breed.
But Ohone, we miss the old times.
Musha. avick what's ST Patricks day
without a parade.

THE POUNDING" PROCESS.
TMapleton Press


When Cummins made his last fight
for governor We heard man high up
in the standpat faction make speech,
and il was devoted to ridicule and
personal abuse against Cummins. He
didn't discuss the primary law. the
two-cent fare law and the anti-pass
law, for which Cu,nmins was making
his fight. He told how Cun.nins looked
when he came into a hall to speak
Said among other things that Cummins
If they would let him introduce one Of
the roosters. He ended up with the
statement that he never did like d
handsome man. Just as if man should
be blamed just because he was Gre
ated handsome.
That sort Of thing has been kept up
to this day. A. B. Cummins record
as governor and senator has been with
out scarcely flaw. and the service he
performed for Iowa was greater than
that Of any other governor.
The little minded fellows can't say
much about his record, but they keep
up the foolish slurs about Handsome
Albert" and Our Albert"
1t remains. however for an editor
in southern Iowa to go the limit. He
recently said that "Cummins scared
Dolliver into his grave" OF course, all
this rot is grabbed UP eagerly by some
Of the big dailies. as is every other
mean thing that is said against Cum
Minis.
1t seems to us that this sort of thing
has gone so far that all honest men in
either faction should frown it down.
AS we said before. common decency
ought to be a factor in our politics.

NIGHT HAVE TOLD THE TRUTH.

Nevada Representative
The Cedar Rapids Republican is
much disturbed because the repub-
lican convention Of the Seventh dis
trict Tuesday at Des Moines declined
to give to President Taft a vote of con-
fidence or something Of that order. but
on the contrary extended its COM
mendations to Senator Cummins only.
We were not at the Seventh district
conventions; but the principal resolu-
ton adopted there was taken with very
slight amendment from the story
county Republican resolutions OF last
week, and with them we are somewhat
familiar. There was not any peri
commentator of Taft in story county,
and we fail to see why the omission at
Des Moines Of something of the sort
should be the occasion for grievance.
The district convention, like the Story
county convention, was met to oppose
the renominatoin Of President Taft;
but if the Taft administration has been
such that it is worthy Of real COM
mendation there is very little occasion
for opposition Therefore the request
for endorsement while opposing was
request for hypocritical expression, ana
the ma JOfltE III lllS OiStltA WV ~Ai@A
should not be ceEsured for refusing 10
be hypocritical To be sure, entire
candor might have suggested eolns
ahead and telling the truth about the
Taft administrations: but even the :
Story county convention forebore to 90
that. What was accorded in each IN
stance was the mercy of silence, ana
such silence was mercy. The TAFT ao-
min.stration has betrayed notably the
cause Of protection. and il has not even
kept the republican faith in the matter
of Appointments to the supreme court
II undertook to undermine the policy
Of Interstate commerce regulation by
offering the Wickerstam bill, ana il
has very greatly embarrassed the en-
forcemert Of the rate law by securing
the establishment of the SPECIAL court
of commerce The Cedar Rapids Re-
publican or other friends OF the presi-
dent ought rot to complain because the
Seventh district convention said noth
ing about Taft. It might nave said
about Taft some Of the things IT pe-
lieved and so made the matter very
much worse

We believe under the old caucus system
the, county would have been lost.
Scarcely half 80 many would have at
tended. It was noticeable that large
number Of standpatters were on hand
in many precincts at the first tap OF
the bell and had there been caucuses,
they would have been over and stand
pat delegations selected in two min-
utes. Being primaries. the laboring
man, the business man and the farmer
all had q chance to vote and they did
vote. The ward heeler cut little figure.
1t was fair expression of the senti-
ment and we believe that nearly ev-
cry county in the First district would
so the Same way in primary anu
with a fair organization.
