Of America has accepted as golden glory without

sparsely exhibited and tantazingly delicious.
The trumpet has survived triumphant in England
and "The Nation proudly backs 1t against all

The Governor and Police Reform.

Governor Glynn is represented as hesitatinS To
urre the lawmakers to pass Mayor Mitchels police
reform casures because he does not want to send
a special message on any local legislation That Is
q commendable attitude but, like most other things,
can have its exceptions 1t might help the Governor
to solve his little problem If he considered that this
city holds half the population Of the state and that
the matter OF adequate policing for that number Of
citizens is about as important as any primary law
amendments for instance which the Legislature
could enact
What is at stake in this issue is literally the safety
Of property and life in this city. Corrupt policemen
are inefficient policemen; corrupt and inefficient po
licemen 90 DOT give the city its moneys worth or
the citizen his due safety against lawbreakers 1t
is only necessary to cite the rangmen outrages to
emphasize the argument. Until the Police Commits
soner has power TO dismiss a corrupt inefficient
policeman, after due hearing, and until every mem
her of the force knows that no power on earth can
of the force is going 10 be crooked and worthless
10 that extent the police force is going to be value
less. If not an actual menace. To that extent the
life and property of citizens will be endangered
The Governor would not hesitate to recommend
legislation intended to protect the health of half
The people of the state. He favors the principle of
the Mayors legislation. There is TO real reason
why he should hesitate to urge its passage

BULL MOOSE LOSSES IN IOWA
More Details of Republican Gains in
the Middle West.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The recent special election in the
ID Congress District Of this state is quite
significant. It will be remembered that
tho member OF Congress just departed,
whose death necessitated the election,
was chosen without opposition In 1872. the
Republicans not caring to make fight
at the time and the Roosevelt men not
bringing out candidate. When the Gov
ernor fixed upon date for tho election
many of the Republicans thought 1t well
TO let this election also 80 by default
The Progressives nominated Charles
Hanley. on the same day Republican
convention was held at which William
Hayes, Of Clinton, was named. He de-
clined, and II looked as if the contest
would be between Hanley and Henry
Nollmer whom the Democrats had placed
in nomination. But when the Republican
Congress committee came together they
found a candidate in the person Of Harry
+. Hull, the postmaster at Williamsburg,
Iowa County. Mr.. Hull had considerable
personal acquaintance in the district,
having been a dealer in grain and ship
ping it. He went right into the canvass
vigorously, especially talking the tariff
and the injury it would bring on the agrl-
cultural population He had had only
few days I'm which to make the fight. but
he did it we'll, as indicated by the result.
The following official vote is well worth
studying in connection with the Presi-
dental and Gubernatorial elections OF the

AN ERROR.

In our last issue on page eight there
an article regarding the wife
of President Wilson. This article had
something TO say about Mrs. Wilson's
illness and as it read it was an article
that should have been used prior to
Mrs. Wilson's death.
AS this article is part of syndicate
matter furnished The Herald by the
American Press Association, the same
as is supplied to all the other daily pa
pers by syndicates of the same kind,
The Herald of course had no RESPONSE
bility in the matter and the appearance
of the article was due only to an error
of one of the employees allowing an
old piece of syndicate matter to come
in among current articles.
These errors not only happen to the
weekly newspapers but often our big
daily papers publish syndicate matter
which is glaringly in error. While the
article did not reflect in the least upon
the Presidents wife nor could it have
been taken as sarcasm, it was, how
ever, peculiar to some of our readers
to notice the article at this time, espe-
cially as Mrs. Wilson has been dead
for several months.
This explanation no doubt will re
| 'ieve a good many of the minds OF
those who read the article as to why 1t
had been published.

SECRETARY DANIELS HOPES TO

Il hope to be with you at the Cele-

That the officials of the nation are
keenly interested in the celebration
next January is borne out by the many
Iacceptances being received daily. Dur.
