WHY NOT SAY SOMETHING?

A1uss fuss Is making within the
democratic camp over alleged mixing
up in republican politics by Meredith,
candidate before the democratic pri-
maries for nomination as senator. 1t
is said that he voted for Curnmins and
denied, that his farm paper spoke we'll
of Kenyon as q candidate for senator
and explained that an editorial writer
Kenyon, that it survived to the presses
and part Of the edition and that Mere
dith stopped the presses and killed it
the instant his eyes fell upon it. 1t
seems to be most important matter
in it's bearing upon Meredith's candi-
dacy before the democracy of Iowa.
Why so important? Suppose that
Meredith did vote for Cummins? He
was helpless as democrat If he
were seeking reform and progressive
legislation and clean handed admins
tration Of the affairs Of the state if for
no other reason merely because the
democrats were in hopeless and
helpless minority. If he voted for
Cummins he voted for a Clean, able
and high minded man and for policies
that have been since incorporated in
the national platform Of both great
parties. Then why protest so much
Why Is it essentially necessary that
Mr.. Meredith as democratic candi-
date must purge himself Of having ever
thought Of supporting with his vote 6
candidate outside OF his own party
when that was the only possible way
in which he could make his franchise
count fol better conditions better ant
more progressive laws and administra-
tive superiority? Surely Mr.. Meredith
does not condemn the legislation anl
the conduct OF state affairs during
Cummins' executiveship In Iowa? Mo-
1t may be inferred does he propose t
base his candidacy on the democratic
platform OF past periods for q demo.
cratic candidate upon one Of those old.
fashioned state platforms Of lows

A Chicago man tells OF a poker game
played In a Wyoming town, in saloon
where the barkesper, With tho assist

now and then on a tenderfoot.
One night such a specimen appeared
and after few drinks, was induced TO
"s,t in" for a while at 81 limit.
Matters progressed in the usual way
for bit; then an astonishing series OF
mods and wrinks began to pass aoout.
The bartender had signaled that the
tenderfoot held four kings on the draw
Then the betting began.
Presently a waiter brought sand
witches and whisky, in order TO dis-
tract the tenderfoot. While the latter
was disposing Of his drink the man
next to him slipped sixth card INTO
his hand, thus MULTIPLYING It.
The unconscious tenderfoot took up
a huge sandwich. bit off a large mouth
full. and began to bet again. He was,
Of course raised all around. He bet on.
and ate on, quite calmly. A big sum
lay on the table.
Then. very suddenly. the bartender
resumed his signaling. He was excited.
It was plain that things were going
wrong. The crooks. anxious, called
the tenderfoot.
The latter finished the last bite OF
his sandwich. took a big drink OF
whisky, and laid down his original five
cards. Then. in silence, he gathered
up his winnings, and took his leave.

We Must Be Patienter.

We Must Be Patiente~.
Setting the world UP wrong-you know
How the boy in the alleys sets nine
pins so!
And the men who come by to enjoy
the game
Find our afterwhile, and ;hey fire their
blame.
And they summon the man in charge
All, me.
This setting the world up wrong sets
Such passions and trouble and needless
wrath,
When the roses are making a rosy
path
And life IS shining with deathless
glory
But the world wants war in its daily
story.
We must be tenderer each to each
We must be trustfuller each with
all:
We must be patienter, ere we reach
The precipice where the best NAV
fall.
Patient and trustful and tender-these
Are the golden bonds of the death
less years
That bind us in grace to the melodies
That lift the shadows and dry the
tears.

AS OPPOSED TO "sK1NNING."


The time has come in Iowa for land
owners and land renters to get togeth-
err for the conservation of the soils, and
some land owners who farm their own
lands ought to act likewise. One-third
Of the farms in Iowa are cultivated
without regard to the conservation OF
the energies Of the soil. The sad tale
remains to be told and 1t will be told
in due time. What We need in Iowa Is
more acres In clover and grasses and
more cattle to eat the ughage and
return the fertility Of the soil back
to the land. We need twice as many
cattle in Iowa ard twice as much clover
as We are sowing now. The higher and
thinner soils ought to be growing Glow
ers one half of the time.

AN O'BRIES COUNTY INDUSTRY.
[OBrien County Democrat
The industry of raising wolves for
the bounty paid thrives we'll in O'Brien
county. There has been two litters
brought in SO far this spring for which
the county has been bled TO the tun.
Of $50 Under the law the bounty on
an adult wolf is $40, but the killing of
the adult would inture the business.
No attempt is made to catch the Old
wolves, instead they are fed and
watched and when litter of pups ar
rives the den is robbed and the coun-
ty pays the freight. Another law that
should be repealed, and when the
farmers chickens. young pigs and
sheep begin to disappear there will be
a general roundup and the whole pack
slaughtered without any expense to the
county. The payment Of a bounty only
paves the way for little easy graft.
