AS TO SENATOR cUMMlNs.

Iowa City Republican: The Repub,
| lcan Is not inclined to enter in and
offer solutions for great and perpleX-
ing problems when others are more
able and better situated to do effect
live work and giving them careful con-
sideration. We have been greatly in
| terested. in the efforts of Senator
| Cummins to reorganize the republi-
lean party upon basis which would
enable him to come back to the party
which he deserted in the last presl'
dental campaign. He has offered va
lrious plans for getting back and
| bringing back other boilers, all OF
which is patriotic from the standpoint
of possible party success. He has
made a number OF suggestions, which
are well in their way SO far as ma
tional unity is concerned. But here
I in Iowa we have a problem, and that
! is how to unity and harmonic the re-
pubIjcan party. II is well known
that about all the trouble up to date
has been caused by the Cummins
domination, Maybe Cummins is
right and his opponents are wrong
but that is not the question. There
are many thousands, of republicans
who have been voting the ticket right
along, who will not play with the
senator. They do not consider him
a good republican. They claim he
has been insolent and dictatorial. 1t
is their intention to defeat him next
year if he is a candidate for senator,
if it is in their power to do so, and
it is very likely they will have the
votes to do the trick. But even II
they do or do not defeat the senator,
the fight that will be made upon him
would wreck the party and probably
give the state to the opposition.
The Republican believes that Cum
minis should step down and out 1t
believes that the obligation: resting
upon him demands that he do this In
case he does. those opposing him will
not ask that somebody be chosen SEN
ator who is as obnoxious to the sena-
tor and his friends as the senator is
politically 10 others, but they are will
ing to accept moderate man, one
who would be acceptable to all re-
publicans. '.'.
Senator Cummins would make
friends by accepting the situation and
giving way TO some acceptable candi'
date. or the party" should take things
in it's own hands and retire him for
chilly at the June primaries. 1t is
about up to the senator to say wheth-
er or not he will force fight which
probably would mean his own as well
as the defeat of the entire republican
state ticket and a majority of the
legislative candidates. ~
Is the ambition of one man worth
the cost?

IOWA IN BLANK VERSE.

Ralph Bolton, secretary of the
Greater Des7 Moines committee, has
a rival in his praises of Iowa, in the
person of H. n. Harwood, secretary
of the Associated Advertising Clubs
of Iowa. His efforts are in blank
verse, but they are none the less elo
quent, as the following resume will
prove:
Although much of Iowa's wealth
springs from the soil, its manufacture
ed products were worth over half the
agricultural products last year Now
il has the worlds greatest water pow
er to drive its wheels, so that re-
markable industrial future for this
commonwealth is assured.
Iowa has a productive climate, be
cause IL per cent of the rainfall
comes in the six months of crop
growth. and the extremes in tempera-
ture are tempered by dryness which
makes II easier for man and beast.
"Iowa has more miles of railroad
than Missouri, or Indiana, or Ohia, or
Michigan, or Wisconsin, or Minneso-
ia. There is 40 per cent more mile
age in Iowa than in. Nebraska.
Iowa is a wonder in its apple pro-
duction. For three years lowa's
Jonathans and Grimes Goldens have
taken the blue ribbon away from all
competitors, from Oregon, Idaho, Col
orado, Montana, Washington and Mis-
souri,.
Iowa horses are worth over four
times the amount of silver minted in
the United States, Alaska, the phil
ippines and Porto Rico in 1912. At
that, Iowa ranks sixth among the
states in the number of automobiles
in proportion to its population.
"Iowa's sheep in 1912 were worth
twice over the entire Oregon apple
crop of 1910.
The value of Iowa's 1912 eggs
alone is equal to all the gold mined in
California last year.
But there is something in life be-
sides mere wealth and there is some
thing in Iowa besides the richest va
rieties of agricultural gold mines and
the best sort of Industrial advantages,
"Iowa's population is good. Its
people are descended from the early
pioneers of such states as Pennsyl'
vania and Ohio. and from the thrifty
element of northern Europe. Iowa
homes are real homes and the chill.
dren are brought up under the best
sort of influences. There are over
forty colleges in Iowa, fifteen OF which
are OF the highest rank.
"The per capita wealth OF the resi-
dents of this state approximates ~,
800. The Chicago Tribune gave the
per capita wealth in the city of Chica
60 as $1,000 few years ago.
"The Iowa farmer is the very rich
est in the world today, according to
the latest government bulletins.
"Of national banks, state and trust
companies and savings banks, New
York has 913. Illinois 1,020 and Iowa
1879.

YOUNGEST IOWA VETERAN.

"Who is the youngest veteran OF
the civil war in Iowa?" asks the Des
Moines Tribune, and then proceeds to
say:
1T is question that most of the
old soldiers themselves are unable
Eto answer. So far the distinction has
lbeen simmered down to two men,
namely. William G. Eichelberger OF
Bloomfield and II. c. Klingman OF Des
Moines. by
'Eichelberger is brother of Judge
+. w. Eichelberger. On the I'D OF
next October he will be So years old.
In 1862, when he lacked one month
of being Is years of age, he enlisted
with the Twenty-Fourth Iowa infant
nv as a drummer boy. For six months
he STAYED with this regiment, but at
the end of that time was rejected be-
cause of his extreme youth. A short
time later he enlisted in Company b
of the Forty-fourth Iowa and served
with that regiment during the remain
| ing years of the war.
"Eichelberger claims the honor OF
being the youngest old soldier in
Iowa. He said that he has investi-
as possible and has been unable to
find anyone younger. But II. Z.
Klingman of this city believes that
he can give him close race for the
honor in Iowa, and If not quite as
young as Eichelberger can at least
lay claim to being the youngest veter,
an in Des Moines.
"Mr. Klingman was Is years old
when he entered the service. but he
did not enlist until 1854. He was
| born August II, 1S4S, and will be. 80
years old this year. That being the
case he is a few days over two
months older than Eichelberger.
"Klingman is a veteran of Company
A. One Hundred and Seventy-second
Ohio infantry. In fact, he is the only
4 yeteran of that company living, not
1an6ther otficarn or private, Of the com
1 pany being alive. .,. -, 80,
There are a few others who claim
to be the youngest veterans in the
Estate, but these two seem to have the
field pretty we'll to themselves"
(Mr. Klingman was for many years
a resident of Oskaloosa.)

IOWA CROP SERVICE
Review Of the Past Week by Di-
rector of Weather Bureau.

Des Moines, Ia, June 17.--With the
exception of light local showers over
the northern half of the state on Fri
day night or Saturday, the week was
dry and generally clear. The temper
atures were, however, unseasonably
low during the first four days, and
light frost occurred in many localities
on one or more, nights. While the
weather was too cool for corn and
garden truck all conditions were ex-
|ceptionally favorable for field work,
and the cultivation of corn has pro-
crossed rapidly. About all of the ear
lily planted fields have been plowed
once and many of them twice. Prac-
Itically all of the corn is planted but
some low ground that was intended
for corn Is still too wet to pillow and
will be used for cane, millet or buck
wheat. The acreage of corn will,
however, be about the same as last
year. The cool, dry weather has
been beneficial to small grain, most
of which is heading nicely and is in
fine condition Considerable alfalfa
was cut and put up without injury by
rain, and clover will soon be ready
to harvest Haying will begin in the
southern counties during the coming
week, with every indication of heavy
yields. Strawberries are beginning
to ripen. but need rain to mature a
full crop. The week closes with
much warmer weather. and all indica-
tons are promising, but rain would
be acceptable to soften the surface OF
the ground. .' de-. ~,

fires. After a brief talk upon schools
and school methods in general: Mr..
Roe took up the subject of prevena
tion of fires in the school buildings
He showed how the construction of
buildings is responsible for many
fires, explained the proper methods
of guarding against blazes by watch
ing the heating and lighting systems;
and discussed the various methods of
cooking, gas ranges. cook-stoves, etc.
and told how the danger of fires may
be eliminated, or at least, reduced to
a minimum. He pointed out the fact
that a great many fires attributed to
incendiary origin are really caused by
lighted match heads. and urged eau
ton. in the handling of matches. His
concluding point was to argue for an
absolutely safe and sane Fourth. in
which fire-crackers and fireworks
would have no part whatever. and
gave statistics showing the loss of
life each year through the medium of
the annual celebration methods now
in vogue '" 'a o " So w.t. - 'r
