The place to make Kenyon senator
Is in the primary. There Is no other
way. 1t is up TO the northern Iowa
progressives to send him there. Senti-
ment and desire TO retain his services
there will not place him there. The
man who wants TO see Kenyon senator
must vote at the primary. The oppo-
sition will be there from early morn
ing until the vote is counted. Nothing
will be left undone to assist LATE
Young.
The interests are against Kenyon.
His activity in trust prosecutions
brought the threat from Armour. the
packer, that Kenyon should be obltt-
Grated. All the trusts are against him.

Isn't it time that the northern Iowa
man who demands good government

cheers the efforts of such men as Ken

count the stay at home progressive as
the main element OF their strength.
The danger TO Kenyon is not in the
Young votes but in Kenyon votes
which do not reach the ballot box. The
danger to Kenyon lies in the overcon-

THE IOWA SITUATION.
[Sioux City Journal.]

The state of Iowa is certainly to be
congratulated on the good form that
has accompanied the senatorial cam
paign OF Col. Young and Senator Ken
Won. Not once has either candidate
yiIified his opponent or everstepped
the bounds Of entire good taste in his
treatment OF his competitor. Indeed,
this has been true Of all the candidates
for all places. There has been bit
OF bushwhacking against Holden, but
none Of his opponents has been shown
to have been concerned in this. 1t has
beer a brotherly campaign through
out.-HarIan Republican.
II may be we already have "a greater
Iowa"
The senatorial campaign, now near
it's close. has been an improvement on
the campaign of four years ago. The
credit may belong in part to the cam
didates. and possibly the newspapers
are to be considered The newspapers
have been devoted to the Taft success
sion. and possibly there has been SUI
hctent vent in that to explain the ap-
parent gentiHty that has otherwise
prevailed. Nevertheless. Col. Young
and Senator Kenyon are entitled to
commentator for their moral conduct
and the quality OF their language.
The same il measurably true in the
gubernatorfal field. with George W.
Clarke the leader in progressive cour-
tesy. It is to be conceded. however,
that the element Of luck is to be con-
sideSed
Col. Young has been in the cam
uaiRn since the legislature chose mis-
eucceseof. He determined at once to
take his case to the people, and he has
been doing Whist he could to win their
hearts. He has Sustained from often
yive part.sanship. His themes have
related to Iowa. its early struggles and
its present opportunities. He has pre-
scented pictures OF travel and world
civilization, He has been as one on
the lecture platform with delightful
story and with el0quence suited to all
OCCASION There il no doubt the de-
uarture from the ordinary method Of

THE FALLING FROM TAFT.

ne New YORK w GRID is out in edi-
torial urging the nomination Of Wood
row Wilson as the only man who can
hope 10 defeat Roosevelt. The World
is convinced that Roosevelt will be
nominated a, Chicago 1t is reported
from Washington that Taft leaders like
Smoot and Penrose and Crane, closest
confidants of the administration have
concluded that Tafts nomina ton is
impossible. They see no future for the
president. That is only another way
of saying that they foresee Roosevelt's
nomination.
Looking for a man with whom to
heat Roosevelt in the convention or al
the polls is no easy job. Woodrow Will
sor: nor any other democrat can do the
trick in November. The only place TO
beat Roosevelt is in the republican
convention and the prospects are not
dattering TO those who desire his
downfall at Chicago. 1t is pretty hard
TO stop Roosevelt once nominated
there viii be no stopping him. He will
win over any candidate the democrats
can put up.
Consider the present campaign.
Roosevelt, We are told had passed.
When he came out as a receptive can
didate the prophecy was that he was
dead as doornail and didn't know it.
Then the colonel began characterist-
ically receptive" campaign. He i'm
mediately began to receive" what he
was seeking. He bucked down thru

his gains and is within sight Of his
he comes before the whole people, if ne
is nominated as seems likely, he will
play the same game with the sa me re-
suits. For Roosevelt still remains the
most popular public man in the United
States. and the surest vote getter.
1t would be better for some reasons
gressive and trustworthy. Colonel
Roosevelt, having achieved his vindi-
catoin might assist to this solution il
he should choose to do so, thus adding
at once to his popularity and his fame.
But Roosevelt wants to be president, it
is to be assumed that those who voted
and worked for him want him to be
president. It looks as tho he would
| be president.
At any rate the Taft contingent from
Iowa could do not better than to sup
port soiidly the Iowa candidate. 1t
would be a bitter pill for some Of the
| delegates to swallow, but it would be
| IN the interests Of more heaIthful
condition Of republicanism in Iowa
The handwriting on the wall has a
progressive slant from Maine to Mex
leo and there are to be other years
and other candidates.. II the stand
pat contingent wish to play good pol
tics they Will save what they can out

THE PITY or n.


The finest thing that walks the earth
is . young and innocent girl When
God, out OF his perpetual kindness and
loving mercy. gives a girl baby TO a
family He has granted one of the su-
prerne gifts OF his power Nothing in
all the world approaches in purity Of
physical beauty and sweetness OF
mind the innocence Of gnlhood 1t is
as sacred az the ark of the covenant,
a holy thing to be kept in tenderness
and guarded with fidelity. With a girl
baby is born infinite possibilities Of
goodness or OF impurity. In the ira
vail of childbirth is born responsibility
of parenthood, not alone the respon-
sibility of parentage but a general re-
sponsibility for the training and teach
ing and guarding Of that child from,
evil which rests upon every decent
man and woman in the community and
state and nation. For as We are our
brothers keeper SO are We parents and
guardians of all children
But how much do We realize this
responsibility? The streets Of every
city after nightfall are moving pictures
Of parental and neigh borhood ire
sponsibility and denial OF the claims of
childhood. The story of the young
day, with tears and with sneers. But
the pity Of il, the terribleness and
wastefulness and pity Of It all. And
We go Of nights past the dark stair
ways whence comes the whispering Of
girlish voices. see the childish maidens
wandering at will here and there the
helpless prey Of every proving animal
and wonder how God came to entrust
a girl soul to such parents as theirs
must be.
Sympathize with them as We must,
the parents Of the young girl who goes
wrong are in ninety-five cases out OF
the hundred the persons most respon-
sible for her downfall. Whether il be
carelessness or that idiocy OF man
agement into which some fathers and
mothers twist love for their children
the cold fact remains that the fault
Is more at home than elsewhere. II
Is idle to rail at conditions in general,
unjust to blame schools and other in
stitutions which have partial care OF
the children while the carelessness Of
fathers and the laxity or foolish fond
ness Of mothers operate with natural
impulses to the wreckage Of morals
and lives.
Overdress, and under work lack Of
any responsibility in the home or
abroad, social idiocy. the natural de-
sire for a good time and the parental
weakness which listens to the plea

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES..
The Washington County Press pre-

The Manson Democrat complains
that Manson is cursed with two or
three men who seem to have nothing
TO do but CAD up and down Main street
and buttonhole business men to pour
their wisdom, their troubles, or their
advice into unwilling ears. You can
not look up or down the street AT any
hour in the day without seeing some
one OF these busybodies with a bust
ness man cornered and their tongues
waeging like a sewing machine shut

but attending TO their own business.
They have been attending to the bust
ness Of the school beard for that body
during the past several weeks and they
are busy, also, With politics just now"

against the candidacy of George Clarke

thus far this year. Judge Kenyon has
spent but $1,000 Of his hard earned
cash. But LATE has had a lot of fun
out of it. His story OF Hickory Ridge
With his sweet singer, Harry Murrison
has been a continuous vaudeville and

The Grand Junction Globe says Mr..
Young Is corporation man today. just
as he has been all his lie, and just as
he always Will be. He is asking the
people Of Iowa, the majority Of whom
are progressives, to send him to Wash
ingron as senator, and yet he allows
his son to make the statement In their
paper, the Des Meines Capital, that all
prosressives are hypocrites and liars
Senator Kenyon has made a remark
