There viii Be No War in Party.

Washington, D. c., May 14.-When-
ever E. G. Dunn of Mason City, who
was the democratic candidate for gov
ernor last year, calls State Chairman
N. F. Reed reactionary of the worst
type; whenever Louis Murphy takes
pains to point out that his appoint
ment as collector of internal revenue
did not come through National Com
mitteeman Martin j. Wade and that
the democratic state organization had
nothing to say about the appointment
of Jerry B. Sullivan to the board of
general appraisers, or the appoint
ment of Judge Anthony Van Wagenen
to be United States attorney for the
northern district OF Iowa; whenever
any other big democrat in Iowa
throws a brick at one of the family, or
any other evidence of party dissen-
sion appears, then is Senator Albert
B. Cummins pleased and happy.
This scrap that is on between the
Wilson men and the Clark men IL
Iowa is nuts for the senator" said
one of his friends, discussing the man
ner in which the former stigmatize
the latter as "reactionaries." The
senator hopes to see this breach wild
enlso that it will somewhat Offset the
division in the republican party. The
scramble over patronage will weaken
Representative Pepper, as a senator
ial candidate, in the opinion of Sena-
tor Cummins, as ii is reported by his
friends. The senator is said to hold
the opinion that for every friend Pep
per makes by an appointment to of
fee, several enemies will be made.
Peppers friends, on the other hand,
do not think anything of the sort.
They say that the appointments are
being made upon the recommends
tions of the county and district chair
man and that no democrat outside of
the Second district is going to hold
Mr.. Pepper responsible for his fail
ure to land an office.
Iowa democratic leaders in Wash
ington are quite well aware of the
fact that Senator Cummins would be
pleased to see serious dissension in
their ranks, but, according to their
declarations, he will not be satisfied
in this. They say there will be no
war in the party and that Senator
Cummins will get precious little dem.
ocratic help in his struggle next year
for reelection to the senate. Dem
ocrats take grim pleasure in remind
ing one another of Senator Cummins'
famous Hamilton club utterance that
In his opinion the worst republican is
better than the best democrat
From all appearances the senator
next year, if he shall win the republi-
can primary in June, cannot hope to
have much democratic support in
November. The support from other
parties will have to come mostly from
the Progressives and Socialists.

looking glasses? Anyway, what
do we of southern DeSoto care for
the fine spun yarns as to the ease
with which DeSoto county can be
bonded for half a million dolla RS
to build 200 miles of hard roads
The expert seems to have cut
the estimate so miles; 200 miles
of 900 miles will Ielve 700 miles of
public roads in DeSoto county ex-
actly as they are now. And where
will the money come from to open
up new roads, if the bonding
crowd takes the bulk of the taxes
to pay interest on the bondsg
Within the boundaries of the
proposed new county twill be en-
tirely practical to improve, main
tain and open up new roads as re-
quired with an annual tax of five
mills. The nature of the ground,
as is we'll known, is such as to
make the great majority of the
roads good by simple system OF
grading and drainage. AT Platt,
Fort Ogden and few spots about
Shell creek, there will be required
some extra work; but give us the
amount of tax which of right be-
longs to us and we will have good
hard roads so quick and sudden as
to gain the admiration of all good
road advocates.
And as for bonding or bondage
for road purposes for the south
ern part, it is, to say the least alb
solutely silly and childish.
Respectfully,
