Obituary.
CUMMINGS.

Margaret Viola, the little daughte,
of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Cummings, was
born in Howard County, Iowa, June
q, 1903, and on October 20, 1913, she
departed this life to join her little
sister Irene in that Home of the
Blessed. ...-. ~ q. =.
Few and short were the years allot.
ted to her, in which to brighten the
home of her loved ones. God in His
mercy called the loving one to Him,
away from this world of strife and
sorrow and pain, and though we miss
her and our hearts are sad, we would
not recall her again.
Margaret was a bright, loving child
and by her cheerful disposition won the
hearts of all who knew her. Though
she had been ailing for some time, her
untimely death was a Sudden shock to
her loved ones. She bore her suffer
ings bravely, seldom uttering a COM
plant, and not until Sunday, when the
last spark of celestial fire was at it's
lowest ebb did she give up. All that
loving hands could do was done, but all
in vain. She gradually grew weaker
until Monday night, when death came
to her softly as sleep to babe. Little
we deemed it possible, as we looked
upon her radiant WITH joy and happiness,
short time ago, that the scared leaves
of autumn would be rustling over her
grave.
She leaves to- mourn her loss,
sorrowing father, mother, three
sisters and five brothers, many rela-
tives and lost of friends.
After Requiem Mass and an
eloquent sermon as a last loving tribute
to the departed, by Rev. Father MUIR
tagh, all that was mortal Of dear Mar
garet was laid to rest beside her little
sister in Saint Joseph's Cemetery.
IN MEMORY OF MARGARET.
Dearest daughter, sister, loved one,
Laid in LIES young hours to sleep;
May the Angels sweet protection
Ger thy peaceful slumbers keep
Loving hands would fain surround thee,
Crown thy life with sweetest flowers;
With fond hopes and memories tender
Ofthe childhood's happy hours.
Nearby loved ones gone before thee,
Gently breathing: "God knows best;"
We will sadly, sweetly leave thee
In thy long, eternal rest.
When the vesper bells are pealing,
And the stars CLEAN high above;
At thy grave, so fondly kneeling,
We will whisper words of love.
And when LIES long, weary autumn
Watts us to that Other Shore,
Will you meet us? VIII you greet us?
Where we meet to part no more.
..-.. "A FRIEND.

Our Washington Letter.

Our Washington Letter.
Secretary Of State Bryan returning
from bis recent trip to Iowa brought 9
hopeful report to President Wilson Of
conditions as he found them in the
state. MIR. Bryan told the President
that he talked with representative
citizens gathered from all parts of the
state and found them in hearty accord
with the administration policies and
that they had unbounded confidence in
tho Presidents ability to put through
the legislative plans he is furthering
to carry out the comprehensive policies
to which the Democratic party is
pledged.
Secretary Bryan found a strong
undercurrent Of opinion among the
Democratic leaders that Democratic
Senator would be elected in Iowa next
year to fill Senator Cummins' seat.
He found this to be true for two
reasons. First, becaus: the party is
stronger in the state, has ADLER leader
ship and is fortified by the confidence
gained in the election last year when
the state was carried for President
Wilson. And, second, because there is
q strong protest against Senator Cum
minis in his own party. The Senator
lost his conservative support when he
bolted the Taft nomination last year
and supported Roosevelt for the Presi-
dency. He alienated much of his Pro:
gressive support because. in effect, he
supported the Payne.Aldrich tariff law,
which previously he had classed as
crime, by voting to continue it on the
statute books when the Underwood
tariff bill was up for adoption in the
Senate. There is more popular ap-
prevail among Progressives to the
course of Senators La Toilette, Repuh-
Lean, aid Poindexter. Progressive, in
this particular, as both showed consist
ent action by voting for the Democrat
ic bill when it carried the provisions
for which they had been contending.
On two occasions during his Iowa
visit Secretary Bryan paid high COM
pliments to Congressman Maurice Con-
molly and to ulge the people of the
third district to send MIR. Connolly
back TO Congress. ...
Cong, eesman Pepper was honored
Last week in being appoipted az one Of
the ffty-six members OF the House TO
attend the dedication of the restored
Congress Hall in Philadelphia where

patrick from old soldiers in the sixth
district, who. though Republicans,

that President Wilson has won many
friends by his fidelity to duty in re-
naming on the job all summer to urge
he measures which he believed the
,eople are demanding.
''From the letters l am receiving
I'M amazed how strong the President
Is with people of all classes" says
Kirkpatrick. HE is re-
ceiving enough Republican support for
bis policies to indicate that the people
hold him to be bigger than his party.
