THE INDIFFERENT VOTERS.


The Marshalltown Times Republican
was not pleased when 1t looked over
the Marshall comfy returns and found
that Senator W. g. Allen. Of Fairfield
regular. not to say ''standpatter," had
polled a plurality of 124 votes over
E d. Chassell, one OF the most proni-
nent progressive leaders In the state
of Iowa. After thinking things over
the Times Republican filed the follow
ing editorial explanation:
ed Chasselrs vote in Marshall
county illustrates the advantage of po-
sition on the ballot. It also illustrates
what sometimes happens to good
man half way down the blanket tick
cts we vote nowadays. Shorten the bal
lot"
Evidently Senator Allen had the
good luck to draw nrst place for Mar
shall county In the game Of rotation
and the Times Republican probably. is
correct in concluding that the happy
accident won for him a good many
hundred votes
The Jefferson Bee also was panied
when it scanned the Greene county
returns and found that Mr.. Ketchum
of Marshalltown, had polled in that
county 800 more votes than Mr.. Otto
sen, of Ottosen. Mr.. Ottosen was not
so prominent progressive as Mr.
Chasseil, but ne was progressive, and
he was depending upon greater pro-
gressive rallying to his standard

over the regular incumbent. Moreover

IT LOOKS BULLY.

Senator Kenyon wires from Chicago
in connection with the Cummins move
ment that cit looks bully" This may
be an infringement on a Roosevelt ex-
preston. but the meat of it is that Cum
Minis chances are growing a the hours
go by and it becomes more evident to
the Taft leaders that the choice is be-
tween the nomination of Roosevelt and
a shift from Taft to a new man. The
presidents closest supporters are now
convinced that his nomination is
equivalent to defeat at the election. 1t
is scarcely conceivable that they will
choose to assume the responsibility be-
fore the party of deliberately forcing a
nomination which would be but the
foreruner Of disaster in November, A
natural supposition would be that the
Taft forces are gathering their strength
to the defeat Of Roosevelt even more
than toward the nomination of Tart.
And in that determination lies Iowa's
best chance
It is more than a chance. it has
grown to real opportunity. 1t needs al!
Iowa behind it. The nomination OF the
Iowa man is the logical solution of the
President Roosevelt have set the party
Their savage contest which has aroused
the deepest passion and resentment be-
tween their followers has made the
nomination of either most inadvisable.
There has never been any savagery OF
political hatred for Cumnins outside Of
his own state and such bitterness is
now confined to few persons here.
The standpatters of Iowa and for that
matter everywhere else, infinitely pre-
fer Cummins to Roosevelt. They will
vote for Cummins if he were to be
nominated. perhaps not joyfully. but at
least in a solid vote. they would get
behind his campaign. if not enthusi-
astically, still with purpose and ef-
fectiveness.
gressive whose record and personality
appealed to conservatives. as Kenyons
candidacy afforded opportunity for
standpatters to vote for a progressive
who stands for the things they feel IN
their hearts to be the best things for
the whole people and the new revival
Of popular control Of common priv
ileses. as Kenyon became basis OF
harmony and breach Of factional
breastworks so the Cummins candidacy
offers opportunity Of harmony In the
national party problem. The party can
win with Cummins and come out OF
the election stronger and unified.
The country at large would relterate
Senator Kenyon's telegram. If the con-
vention shall nominate the great Iowan
with the clean, upright. statesmanlike
and consistent record. the rank and
file of the party who are now trembling
for the fate of the party would say, 1T

SPECIAL INTEREST OR POT LUCK.

Because the Jefferson Bee has dis
candidate for railroad commissioners
lost Greene county by not having sec
ond place on the ballot and because the
Times-Republican has remarked that
Ed Chassell. progressive candidate for
secretary Of state lost Marshall coun-
ty for the same reason, the Sioux City
Journal believes that these two pro-
gressive newspapers have admitted the
primary system Of nominations to be a
failure.
The Journal should recall the state
conventions OF the past when at the
close Of the day with all Of the leading
candidates. disposed of. the hall would
be almost emptied Of delegates rushing
for early trains out Of town The con-
vent1on clerks would cali the roll on
railroad commissioner and a single
man, probably local railroad attor-
ney, would answer for whole county,
and the railroad commissioner would
be nominated with the utmost intel
ligence to be sure, but what was the
result?
The trouble with both the railroad
commissioner and secretary Of state
was that the contest was not exciting
enough to arouse public interest. Two
years ago when Thorne ran there was
q real public interest. The public gen.
orally. when informed, supposed that
Chassell would win easily and in fact
no one had any objection to him.
The shorter ballot means a concen-
tration Of responsibility. For instance
for presidential electors? Why not
leave that to convention or even tc
the state central committee? The coun-
ty superintendent should be appointed
by the board Of supervisors and the
superintendent OF public instruction
should be appointed by the executive
were appointed by the executive coun-
Gil it would tend to center responsible
ty and hence center public interest up
on the nominations for place on that
council. Why not approach the com :
mission form Of government for the
state by making the attorney general
the fifth member OF the executive
council and then concentrate all the
minor officers under the authority OF
this commission?

A close description Of some of the
costumes which are worn by many
Girls from IL years old upward is not

The End of the Day.

The End Of the Day.
The years have slipped away and LEFT
him old,
His tired hands unfit for tasks,
And SO. with eyes turned toward
eternity,
But little of the world he asks.
Nor does he sit and dream of days
gone by,
But while the shadows finger late.
The final call, the summons clear and
sweet,
At the end of day he doth await.
And bravely doth he face the coming
dawn,
No night for him, with faith SO Hne,
And soon the faint and far of sounds
of life
In one great silence will combine.

The GOOD LADY HARDlNeE.

Oar heart has been touched BY the
news conveyed by cable from distant
ludia concerning the devotion Of Lady
Hardnge I'd her husband, the Yiceroy,
manifested when some crazy galoot
hurled bomb at the latter.
our first dispatch informed us that
Lady Hardinge, who was with his
lordshlp at the time Of the catas-
sophe. accompanied him to the hos
pital and it also added that she was
deeply distressed. While not directly
stated, We might easily have surmis-
Cd that the good lady was ready to
swoon. if indeed she did not actually
reach that degree of emotional pertur
baton
All Of this-to put it in popular par
lance was exactly as it should be,
but we cannot refrain from expressing
onr admiration and commencing her
fsdysAip for thus molly standing by
l.sa l,cer husband IN the hour Of mis-
fortune rather than taking hike for
home and chasing off at once to some
social function. as the average woman
might be expected to do.
Striking as was this first evidence
Of wifely devotion. It was not the eli
max of Lady Hardinge's tender care
fcf her stricken husband. The next
day the cable informed us, Lady
: Iisdmeo eeaaains vita him. New
that was too much to expect Of any
woman and we had no idea that she
would continue at his bedside, espec-
ially in view Of the fact that it was
time Tor Christmas shopping and no
doubt, also, She might have been hav-
ing a good time at the picture shows.
Bat She did nothing of the kind, this
woman Of remarkable devotion she
remained with her husband.
II We had entertained any doubt as
to the unusual character Of her lady
snips devotion, it would have been en-,
tireiy removed by the mere fact that
the correspondents OF the press asso-
Citations took the trouble to record the
remarkable facts to which we have re
Ierfed, hnrdening the cables and tele'
graph wires with these touching Incl
dents. We don't suppose there IS q
woman ia the world who would not
have done exactly the same thing nn
der the circumstances, but as long al
We have to pay for such news, wei
have 70 insist that Lady Hardinge is
heroine.

rHE NEW CURE FOR coNsUMP-
TloN.

The friedman treatment for con-
sumption has recently been announced
in most sensational way, through the
newspapers Of an American newspaper
syndicate. According to the Journal
Of the American Medical association
this method OF treatment does not APP
pear to be based on any new principle
.It represents another effort 70 utilize
for curative and preventive purposes
the antigenic substances in the tuber-
Gle bacillus, without at the same time
introducing any toxic or harmful sub
stances. In order to secure this effect
living bacilli. devoid OF yirulence, SO ii
IS asserted, are injected deep into the
muscles. These bacilli are said to be
deriyed from the turtle, but the method
by which they are rendered harmless
is withheld This secrecy is not in
accord with the ethical standard Of
scientific medicine. The report as to
the results Of the practical use Of this
carefully guarded secret shows, first,
that in the experiments on guinea pigs
complete protection has not been OBJ
tanned Furthermore, there are no in
dications that it has been possliie 70
cure tuberculosis guinea pigs by this
method The treatment consequently
lacks an experimental basis. A really
and promptly effective cure for tubef-
culosis should cure tuberculosis in
guinea pigs and other animals The
injections so far made by Friedman
in children seem to indicate that the
fluid injected is harmless in children
and that is all. We have no evidence
that the injections will prevent tuber
culosis in children, and from the ma
ture OF the case 1t will be exceedingly
\ difficult to dctsrmine what the effec
Of such injections really is. The al
legged curative effects do not seem {
be any more pronounced and defnit,
than those obtained with the various
forms of tubereulin when properl,
used Besides, the use Of this fluid il
probably not without danger In view
OF these considerations says the Jour
nal, there is not sufficient warrant TO
any other attitude toward Friedman

cism It concerns secret procedur

Taxing Their Time.

1T seems to me" said the man who
looked at his watch frequently, that
these pay-as-you-enter cars stop
longer to let of passengers than the
old-fashioned cars do. Am I right?"
"You are, said the conductor. and
the reason is that people who wish to
leave press the button and then sit
still till the car stops. and we have to
wait till they walk the whole length
Of the car. Under the old system they
couldn't be so independent. Before
they could catch the eye Of the con.
ductor most passengers not only had
to stand up, but to walk half way back
to the door, 50 by the time the car
stopped they we're right there ready to
step off, The new way may be more
convenient, but It eats up time"
