TIE NEXT CONVENTION.
rchol5or Mali

The Mall believes that 1t Is generally
conceded that Senator Cumnnins Is
more largely responsible than any 9TH
er man for the fact that there will be
a national convention Of the republican
party cut of its natural :ime- Whether
Mr.. Cumrlins remained in the repubh-
can party thru farseeing selfish am
bition or whether 4, was because OF
love and loyalty eor the party must be
left for the individual mind OF friend
or foe to determine for himself. The
fact remains. We believe he is being
credited for his good fight for the
dominance OF progressive principles
within the republican party.
What will be the result OF the special
convention is another matter and one
for which Mr.. Cumrnins will not be re-
sponsible. The time to find out what
the Old guard really intends to do In
the matter of the adoption Of progress
sive principles is before election. the
convention will be one Of the most
Vital conventions ever he!u by the par

THE PETITION OUTRAGE"

The drouth at Des Moines has re-
vived suggestion thru newspapers OF
saloon towns that the mulct law should
be repealed and local option subsu-
tuted. They want a vote on the ques-
ton. We are told how un-American
the petition is how much more Amer
lean the ballot would be. The news
papers at Waterloo are markedly
ynciferous in this matter. especially
the Times Tribune which for reasons
sufficient to its owners favors saloons.
From Cedar Rapids the same sugges-
ton is frequent
Strange, isn't 1t that this recogni-
ton. Of the un-Americanism OF the PEI
titaon should have awaited the time
when the petition should embarrass
the saloon? None may recall such
vigorous protest when the aulct,
framed in favor Of the saloon, was
delivering the gods according 70
schedule. It was an excellent system
afford1ng personal liberty and the like
% long as it was the useful adjunct
OF the saloon business" And immedi-
ately It became a menace to those in
tSrests 1t was found suddenly to be
Nn-American and outrageous.
The general press of the state is
not to be fooled by this new recogni-
ton Of the Outrageous character Of
the petition. The fact is that if any
system Is truly American the plan OF
petition is the one. The right Of petit
ton has been held constiutionaliy
sacred. It is part Of the Declaration
Of Independence. Why deny the sa-
loon interests right thus confirmed?
Moreover it is American to get the
Sefse Of the community. It Is Amer
lean to say that in a matter of such
moment as this to the general health
ana morals that the name Of good
cittsen and taxpayer shall count for

IOWA, LAND OF CERTAINTY.
FDes MOineS

The soil OF Iowa was put to a severe
test during the cropping season OF 1913.
The same drouth affected the other
corn states. The Iowa sol! stood the
drouth and produced 33s $4,000 bush
els. making an average OF 81 bushels
to the acre Illinois came in With
285. $1,000 bushels, eauallne an aver
age Of 81 bushels to the acre. Kansas
Jared the worst and produced % 1871, 900
bushels, while Oklahoma comes along
with 56936000 bushels. little more
than half OF the crop for the year be-
fore. The Iowa soil has depth, there
fore can take care OF excessive mots-
ture OF excessive drouih. 1t is the one
sure crop state in the union. For three
years we have been predicting that the
time would come, after the opening OF
the Panama canal, when every acre OF
Iowa corn producing land would be
worth $500. This was a shocking pre-
dicsion at first, but has now attracted
many believers. About month ago
William Galloway, the we!i-known
Waterloo mail order merchant, sold
farm near Waterloo a. $500 per acre.
So we shall not have long to wait for
two acres OF land on a nice prairie to
bring $1,000 This is far cry for the
honesteader OF 1871.
