SENATOR c. a. CARPENTER.

The death Of Senator Carpenter, OF
Columbus Junction. removes one OF the
most prominent attorneys and pub
lic;sts Of southeastern Iowa. He was
endowed with a fine intellect and 80
far as he permitted himself to en-
gage in a political career he ranked
high among his contemporaries. he
was not without ambition in politics,
served his senatorial district in the
Iowa general assembly with ambition,
and could easily have gone to con-
gress from the First district had ne
so decided His devotion TO the pro-
fession Of law. the duty he felt ne
owed 10 business affairs in which ne
was interested, or in which ne repre-
scented others. constrained him 10 turn
away from political opportunities In
later years the state OF his health was
a factor in lettering him from taking
public position, and coincident there
with was a growing disaffect!on upon
his part toward the attitude Of the re-
publican party in It's national organ
izatton and in the First Iowa congress
sional district.
Breaking away from long standing
personal and political friendships. Sen :
ator Carpenter allied himself with Sen
ator Cummins, without. perhaps, being
altogether in sympathy with some OF
the latter's idiosyncracies, but rather
using the alliance to attain change OF
leadership and platform deliverances
of the republican party OF which he
had been life long member.
Politics seldom conduces to any
body's personal happiness. and we
doubt if 1t ever brought TO Senator
Carpenter the satisfaction and peace OF
mind he had anticipated.
However much the Hawkeye differed
with Senator Carpenters alignment In
Iowa factional politics, II has always
recognized in him many most estim bic
personal qualities, admired his ability
in his profession, and his public spirit
and real merit as a citizen: and il has
freely and frequently so expressed it
self And now. when the unexpected
end has so suddenly come, 1t renews its
tribute of good viii, and its need OF

tented to be dull. - We waste our
sense Of pathos very strangely over

favorably commented upon in the
press. We seem to be ready for that
form Of self criticism, And may we be
also ready to take 1t to heart and to re-
form our lives in accordance with such
sentiments
We believe a better era 10 really
dawning. We seem to have outgrown
the intense worship of money and ma
terial things with which we were once
afflicted. The man who merely makes
money Is not 80 highly esteemed
among US as once he was. We are
thinking more OF the man who lives
wisely. who takes other things also In
20 consideration.
We are. as people, giving more
time to things that are really more
worth while. The very amusement
craze with which we are now con-
vulsed. in form OF pictures. dances ana
so. may mark q change of attitude. For
the present we are going to some ex-
cesses, but we win get over them. The
changed viewpoint will be the main
thing gained.
We think more Of music. We are be-
coming a nation OF music lovers. we
are again beginning to read even poe

are not going 20 be satisfied TO be q
