If the Iowa senators are careful
to stand courageously for the right
at Washington they need have small
care for the reorganization of the
Republican party.-Newton News.
That ought to be true, but it
isn't. Many a man who has stood
for the right has been defeated and
many man who has stood for the
wrong has been elected. Wasn't Nc
Kinley right in 1890 when he led
the fight for the protective tariff
bearing his name, and wasn't he and
the republican party ANONYMOUSLY
defeated at the following election?
Then wasn't Mckinley and his par
ty called back in 1896 and weren't
they called back because they were
right in 1890? Fact Of the matter is
the people were wrong in 1892
when they defeated the republican
party and the people got right when
they called the party again to pow
er in 1896. Does Bathhouse John of
Chicago stand for the right? Hard
~. But Bathhouse has cinch on
the voters of his ward and is as
sure to win as election day is to
come around. Public men in posi-
lions of trust and responsibility
ought to stand for the right and let
the matter of reelection take care
Of itself. We believe both of the
Iowa senators are doing what they
believe to be right and they are con-
scientiously devoted to the interests
of the people. But there are thous-
ands of voters in Iowa who do not
think so and If the number increases
to a majority, as is not impossible,
the senators will be defeated.

"The shattered republican party
faces still more serious splits" is
the way one newspaper head writer
puts it. We should like to know
how a split could be more serious to
the party than it was last fall. Pos

will lose Vermont and Utah at the
next election.

The Des Moines Capital OF Mon
day contains a big fiaring three

case correctly. The defendant in the
case must prove that Roosevelt is a

Newspaper publishers cannot be
too careful in guarding their col
umns against all sorts OF grafters
and free advertisers. Newspaper
publicity is one OF the valuable
things of the world and publishers
ought to sell it at it's value instead
of permitting themselves to be
worked.

OF course, Mrs. Wilson, wife OF
the president, who went stunning
in disguise, did not want the public

keep it quiet.

Republican, and voted in the COM
mittee on credentials to cut down
southern representation, but the
convention rejected the suggestion.
Now Mr.. Brant thinks this one pro-
gressive political act of his life is of
enough Importance to brag about,
and he is right. It is something un-
usual for a standpatter to favor any
proposition that is less than one
hundred years of age.
In Chicago they have number
of organizations to seek out needy
persons and distribute charity where
it will do the most good. 1t has
been claimed that when indiscrimin-
ate giving is INDUCED in many un-
worthy people receive aims, and it
is pointed out that these associa-
lions can investigate and ferret out
the imposters. Possibly that is true,
but the expense of this service seems
very high. According to reports it
costs on the average SO cents for
each dollar these organizations ham
die. In other words, the giver gives
81 for each forty-seven cents that
finds way into the hands OF the
needy.
Henry B. Robinson of Kenosha,
Wis, had an idea and has capitaliz-
ed it. The idea will prove profitable
to Mr.. Robinson and his bank. The
idea is this: He decided to give a
bank book and a one dollar deposit
to each baby born in his county.
Last year over eight hundred babies
were born in the county and each
Immediately had deposit at the
bank. Nine times out Of ten the
parents take pride in the deposit
and see that it grows. Besides. the
bank is getting a lot of free adver-
Using, and that is worth consider
able. Mr.. Robinson figures that in
fifteen or twenty years these babies
will become money earners and they
will be partial to his bank.
The Mcnamara brothers and most
|of the officials of the iron workers
union were convicted of blowing up
property with dynamite and in one
case of destroying life. Now the
president of the great American
Wooden company is on trial for an
offense equally pernicious. No mem
bers of an Industrial class should be
held In blame for the actions of 9TH
ers of that class.-Waterloo Cour-
Ter.
OF course an innocent member OF
a labor organization should not be
held blamable for what other mem
bers do. 1t might also be observed
In this connection that organizations
OF capital that obey the laws should
not be held blamable because some
other organizations of capital dis
obey the laws. Let every tub stand
upon its own bottom.
There are just as many heroes in
the world as ever, and all that is
needed to demonstrate that fact is
the opportunity. A few days ago a
lad Of fifteen was carried over the
dam at Waterloo and it seemed that
he must drown. The dam is quite
high and the water very swift and
turbulent. Ed Chapman, an aged
man, proprietor of the boat house
at that place, saw the threatened
drowning of the lad. He was above
the dam with his boat and immedi-
ately steered for the swiftest point
in the river and shot over the dam
amid the excitement and lusty cheer
ing of the crowds that had congre-
gated on the bridge spanning the
river at that point. His boat dis
appeared in the spray and froth be-
low the dam, but reappeared and the

A southern paper wants to know
what would happen If a japanese
Christian attempted to attend 9
white church in California. That is
a. hard question to answer. But we
all know what would happen to q
negro Christian who tried to attend
a white church in the south. He
would in all probability be burned
at the stake.
Colorado's new minimum wage
law, just signed by the governor
creates a commission of three which
shall, upon the appeal of women OF
children workers in any industry OF
in any community hold hearings
and Ak a minimum wage which shall
be binding upon employers and en-
ployes alike. But what would hap
pen if the employees refused to work
for the sum indicated?
The republican national commit
tee, in session at Washington Satur-
day, decided to call a national con-
vention sixty days after the ad-
journment of congress to take up
the matter Of holding convention
for the reorganization of the party.
This is victory for the progressive
element Of the party and gives some
hope that the party may again be-
come dominant in the nation.
Hon. H. c. Brandies Of Avoca,
Iowa, is an enthusiastic advocate OF
alfalfa raising in this state, and he
has reason to be. Last year he had
eleven acres in alfalfa and forty
acres in timothy and produced the
same number of tons of each. AS q
ton OF alfalfa is worth as much OF
more for feeding purposes as a ton
of timothy it is no wonder Mr.
Brandies is a booster for alfalfa.
The libel suit Of Col. Roosevelt
against that Michigan editor is Civ.

idence of his best personal friends
and men whose word and character
are above reproach, the colonel is
not drinking man. In fact his per-
sonal habits are good He doesn't
even use tobacco. No man who works
as Roosevelt does could drink to ex-
cess.
A. H. Davidson, secretary of the
state executive council, estimates
that the cost of the eighteen city
blocks which the state is going tt
buy to extend and beautify the cap
itol grounds, can be purchased fol
$500, 900. That will be terrible
blow to Dave Brant, who insists II
will cost s10.000,O0O. In twenty
years that ground will be worth ter
times what it will cost the state

The Des Moines Capital is full Of
grit and enterprise and does things.
The appropriation Of $4,000 by the
state for the purpose Of defraying
the expenses Of Iowa soldiers to the
reunion at Gettysburg was not large
enough by several thousands of dol
lars and the Capital started out to
raise the shortage by popular sub
scriptions. Up to date it has rails
ed $1,1O4.75 and the indications are
it will raise enough to make 1t pos
sible for every old veteran who
wants to go to do so without ex-
pense to himself. The Capital de-
serves much credit for what it is do
ing in this matter.

try will agree with Mr.. Bryan in

a misspent life. He has told them that

made lawyers out OF youths who were
bent on machipery. and made mechanics
out of misguided young men who were
