Old line Republicans IN conference
at Des Moines one day last week de
cided not to put candidate into the
field against Senator Cummins. The
Gate City regards this conclusion as
"a wise one, and it is supported in
this opinion by the Iowa City Re
publican which says:
The conclusion is wise. first, be
cause nobody OF any standing would
make such g contest; and second, II
he did the drubbing in store would be
one to excite pity. This is not said
out OF any special desire to fatter
our senator. but because 1t is a fact
that everybody knows. and none bet.
ter than those who met TO confer. The
conferses appointed committee for
some purpose, Just what Is not very
clear from the calculation the confer
ence received from the unfriendly and
not over exact Des Moines newspa-
7ers.

Des Moines was something unheard

MEDICAL INSPECTION OF
SCHOOLS

Oakland, Cal, was the first large
city IN this country to employ women
nurses, under the direction of ply
stefan, to inspect every child in the
public schools. Reports Of the exami
nations are sent to the children's par
ents with suggestion that proper med
zeal aid be sought for the children
that are found to be defective.
A large percentage Of the parents
act upon the suggestion, and that per
centage is increased by the tactful
persuasion of the nurses, who visit
the homes Of the children and add
their personal influence to the writ.
tan advice.
The report Of DR.. n. K. Foster, the
medical director OF the public schools
shows the vital necessity Of the work
OF nearly 1900 children that were
examined last year more than 10000
showed remehable physical defects
OF course, some of these ailments
are slight, but that Is all the more
reason why thsy should be corrected
before they become acute. More than
AZ per cent. Of the defective children
had decayed teeth, % per cent had
diseased tonsils, IS per cent. were
suffering from eye strain or other
visual troubles, 10 per cent. were
mouth brsathers." per cent. had
adenoids, and another per cent. had
enlarged glands.
One hospital In Oakland alone
handling only the cases of poor chill
dren, gave 2,s49 treatments to So
boys and girls. The amount OF RENE
dial work that was dona at the pri
vate expense OF parents was OF course
much larger.
The most important part OF tbs
Oakland system is the work of this
visiting nurses, for they "follow-up'
the advice given by mail, and b.
their personal contact with children
and parents they educate the whole
body Of the people in the knowledge
Of sanitation and right living.
There is no reason to doubt tina
the same system and methods will b.
equally successful In Keokuk.

Governor Clarke on
Capitol Extension

Cedar Rapids Republican. Cover
nor Clarke spoke before the CONNER
ciaI Club of Sioux City last night by
invitation. upon the subject of capitol
extension. Advance copies of the
speech we're sent out to the newEpa-
pers OF the state with the suggestion
that # be printed in full. Space pre-
vents this paper from complying with
this request today, but as the COVER
nor will, no doubt. deliver the same
speech in Cedar Rapids during the
campaign upon which he has embark
ed, the people here will have an oppor-
tunity to hear all that he has to say
and that occasion will also be- pnre
logical for the publication OF his
speech
We shall, however, here and now
attempt to set out the proposition as
the governor of the state views 1t, and
his opinions are entitled to such con-
sideratton. As is known, to all inter
ested at all. Mr.. Rowley. citizen OF
Van Buren, county, who has been
somewhat strenuous in his opposition
to the plan and the taxes required for
1t, has lately announced himself as
candidate for the republican nomi-
nation for governor, as opposed to
Governor Clarke, who will be a candi-
date for denomination. For ourselves
we have not believed that the governor
should be defeated on this issue, nor
are We In favor Of making 1t politi-
cal. or campaign issue at all. Howev-
er. this may not be avoided now, and
having become an issue, the governor
is entirely right and wise in taking
it up promptly and fully. He owes
that duty to his party as well as to
himself
The Sioux City speech is a very
lengthy one. It begins by recounting
the story OF the building of the pres.
ent state house on grounds which it is
now admitted by practically all, are
inadequate as a setting for so i'm
portant building. He quotes from
messages Of governors, beginning
with William Lerabee In 1890, to the
effect that the state house grounds
ought to be improved and enlarged
1t is not clear that some of the gov.
ernors, had definite views as to en-.
largements of grounds, but all did
insist on improvements. most OF
which have since been made.
The governor then lays stress upon
the additional buildings needed for
state purposes, such as building for
the courts. and an arsenal, as well as
grounds for the statue OF Senator ALI
son. authorized by the legislature. The
governor. later on in his speech, also
cites what other states have done, OF
are now doing, along the same lines
and he appeals to Iowa to keep III
with the others.
He shows next that the matter, pre-
scented so often by the governors, was
fully discussed by the last legislature
He shows that such discussions

thinks, himself, that no additional tar

only one formidable rival, whose boast it was that he was the only man in Russia who could lift his anvil from the ground.
 When this boast came to the ears of Peter, that prince set out incognito with single companion and challenged the blacksmith to a trial of strength. With out a word the latter seized his ponder ous anvil with both hands, and, strainng his mighty muscles to the utmost, raised it foot from the ground. When Peters turn came he raised the anvil higher and higher until. to the eonsternation of his rival, he placed it on his shoulder and walked out of the smithy with it. So startled was the blacksmith by this ex- hibition of strength that he rushed away to summon the villagers to come and see the evil one who had run away with his anvil
