training. He has a healthy body
and a clean mind. In the first few
weeks, or even months, of his city
experiences he may fall victim to
these conditions. But he soon per-
ceives their real nature and rises to
his feet again.
The city boy, when he becomes a
victim of the vicious circle, finds it
almost next to impossible to rehabili-
tate himself. He has not the physi-
cal and moral stamina to make his
fall stepping stone to something
higher and better. The murderous
gangs of New York are made up ex-
clusively of city bred boys.
The lesson which the committee in
question should draw from the facts
uncovered is not alone that the coun-
try boy must be protected from the
destructive influences that are so pre-
valent in the big city but that all
boys must be protected. The thing
to advocate is the abolition of the
agencies Of evil and destruction. The
big cities should be made safe for all
boys, country boys as we'll as city
boys.

THE COUNTRY BOY.

Chicago Tribune: A movement tc
protect the country boy has been
launched in New York. A committee
which has been studying the subject
finds that the young man from the
rural community who comes to the
metropolis in search Of opportunities
is surrounded on all sides by I'M
worthy and even destructive influen-
ces. AS the number of such boys from
the farm who seek the city and its
opportunities annually is between
10000 and 10000, the committee
thinks it is high time an organized
effort was made to protect this army
of youthful pilgrims.
The facts uncovered with regard to
the unwholesome and destructive in
fuences of the big city warrant
broader Interpretation than that the
committee accords it. The country
boy falls a victim of these evil in
fuences, the committee says. But so
does the city boy. In fact. it has
been shown again and again that the
city boy Is hardest hit by these in
fiuenees. The boy from the farm
who comes to New York or Chicago
has back of him years of wholesome

gether too much stress laid upon par
ty loyalty. Democratic leaders are
now shouting for party loyalty and
it is only a matter of time until this
blind partisanship will put the dem
ocratic party just where the republi-
can party now is--down and out
What the country needs is men who
will serve the country. Men who
will not serve the party when the
party is not responsive to popular
rights and the precepts of the square
deal. If the people of Iowa want to
punish Senator Cummins for the rec
ord he has made they will have that
privilege next year, but if they do it
they will set back the movement, for
time at least, which is disenthral-
ling the people from the bondage OF
party. A party is entitled to the 10y
al support of those who affiliate
with it only when 1t stands for right
principles.

We cannot look, however imper-

gaining something by him. He is
the living life-fountain, which it is
good and pleasant to be near; the
light which has enlightened the
darkness of the world: and this not
as a kindling lamp only, but rather
as natural luminary, shining by
the gift of heaven; a flowing light
fountain as say, of native original
insight, of manhood and heroic no.

California is almost as much inter-
ested in good crops in Iowa as
Iowans are themselves. Good crops
and prosperity in this state means
big business in California taking care
of the tourists from Iowa, and as
Iowa always has good crops and pros
perity, California is assured of a
good business in tourists.

We are not disposed to advocate
the election of a democrat to the
United States senate from Iowa, but
for the benefit Senator Cummins has
been to the party, the severe criti-
cism which the party has sustained
at his hands and the i'll treatment
which he has accorded it, the party
could not suffer more if he was de-
feated. If he Is to receive the sup
port of the republican party for
United States senator next year he
should be made to stand up and take
solemn oath and furnish salts
factory guarantee besides that he
will not, if elected, betray the party
in the future as he has in the past.
-Denison Review.
The Review takes the view that
the party is the thing to serve. The
interests of the people is a second
airy matter. The republican party is
now down and out because so many
of its leading representatives could
not look beyond the party and see
the things the people wanted and
were entitled to. If Senator Cum
minis, or any other man, should sign
such a guarantee as the Denison pa
per demands, he ought to be defeated
by even a greater avalanche of pop
ular disapproval than that which ov-
erwhelmed William Howard Taft.
The man who is broad enough to
represent great state in
any legislative body ought to be
broad enough to break the shackles
of party bondage when the public
welfare demands it. We have alto

The fight on Tammany in New
York resulted in the indictment of
5000 heelers for false registration.
People out in country towns wonder
why the fight is not kept up the year
round and year after year when such
results are possible. But the answer
is easy. The people of the big cities,
just like the people of the smaller
towns, get tired of a continual jan
gle. Many of the smaller towns have
exactly the same kind of a political
proposition confronting them that
the people of New York have, only
in lesser degree. Yet the smaller
towns are Indifferent. In fact they

Hon. Frank P. Woods is leavinf
no stones unturned to secure re-elec
ton to congress from this distric,
and it Is said that his private secre.
tary, who is now canvassing the dis
trict, is much encouraged at the out
look. However, everything is not as
rosy as it might be. There is talk
of Thor Hanson of Bode entering the
contest for the republican nominal
ton. Mr.. Hanson is a strong man
and would undoubtedly give Mr..
Woods a hard race. And it is not
absolutely certain that the republi-
can nominee can win in this district
next year. The district is strongly
progressive and there is talk of Judge
Quarton of Algona entering the race
on that ticket. Mr.. Quarton is a
good campaigner and if he should
take the stump, Mr.. Woods, if Mr..
Woods is re-nominated, would be re-
CURED to state his position clearly,
something he has not done since he
first entered congress.

shows that the people of that district
prefer Sulzer to a tool of Tammany
and that they believe the fight start

ried forward. They evidently believe
Sulzer is the man to lead and for
that reason have commissioned him
to represent them ia the state legis-
lature.

Who does the Register mean by

is the same it has been for twenty

most publishers in Iowa. Job work,
too, is practically the same price it

The funniest part of the election in
New York is that the great daily pa
pers of the city were on the winning
side. The big newspapers in New
York, Chicago, Des Moines and other
cities are continually fighting graft
and it is seldom that they see their
efforts to elect clean men successful.
The grafters have the saloons, the
brothels, the police, the gamblers,

it is almost impossible to dislodge
them, because a sprinkling of decent
voters join them at the polls.
