A bunch of several hundred
Iowans .-eld reunion the other day
in California and it developed that
more than half of them were relying
upon rentals and money interests in
Iowa to keep them from getting hum

In which to spend money, but when
It comes TO making the coin of the

seat for any sister in the sisterhood

Senator Cummins has decided to
stand as candidate for reelection
and it is very probable that Iowa
will decide to keep him in the place
he fills so we'll. ~

The express companies, which for
years declared they were doing bust
ness at reasonable prices-about as
cheaply as possible-are going to
make startling reductions in order to
meet parcel post competition. Had
the express companies seen the
handwriting on the wall and reduc-
ed prices several years ago it is pos
sible the parcel post department new
er would have been established. The
loan companies are just now pursu-
ing a similar course. They are boost
ing rates, thereby furnishing the ad-
vocates of a government loan policy
additional ammunition. The rail-
roads, too, are doing the same thing
They are now demanding that they
be permitted to increase freight
rates. This, of course, will give gov
eminent ownership advocates some
good arguments.
The people of Ottumwa are talk
ing of building dam across the Des
Moines river for the purpose of gen
Grating power for their electric light
plant and will hold an election soon
to vote upon a proposition to issue
100000 worth of bonds for that pur-
pose. The time is coming when the
power of the rivers of Iowa will be
put to some service. It has been es-
timated that enough force goes to
waste each year by allowing these
rivers to remain Embarrassed, to
move every piece of machinery in the
state, to light every residence, fur

The day is coming when this vast

will vote the bonds and then see
that the money is judiciously ex-
pended.

The report that Secretary Bryan
would pull cut of President Wilson'S
cabinet in the event of war with
Mexico lacks confirmation. The Sec
rotary is not of a retiring DISPOSE
ton and was never known to resign
anything. 1t is admitted, however,
that the colonel is a man of peace,
that is, peace with honor, when
things go his way, but the way he
scattered brickbats in the Baltimore
convention demonstrates that he can
and will fight when fighting is nee
essarys in order to save the country.
Moreover, it will be, recalled that the
colonel enlisted in the army when
we had war with Spain and there is
every reason to believe that he
would have made a record for gal
lantry had opportunity been present

Several thrifty farmers of Ring

. few years ago, being lured by the
fascinating yarns of the real estate
agents, are back home. They have
fewer dollars than they had before,

The O'Connor-Kenyon campaign
contribution controversy raises the
question of whether if it is wrong
for a democrat to subscribe to a re-
publican's election fund it is right
for democrat to subscribe to a re-
publican's primary fund.-Boone
News-Republican
1t is not wrong for private citi-
zen to subscribe to any political
fund if he is doing it from patriotic
motives or through friendship for a
candidate. The evil of campaign
contributions lies in the fact that
designing men contribute in the
hope of personal reward later on,
such men not infrequently contribut-
ing to both sides. 1t is easy to I'M
derstand, though, why a prominent
democrat might conscientiously SUBJ
scribe to the primary campaign fund
of republican candidate and still
support the democratic opponent of
that man at the general election fol-
lowing the nominations. He might
feel that the republicans were going
to win and he might be patriotic
enough to want the place filled by

the republican best fitted for it, or
whom he believed to be best fitted.
Mr.. O'Connor has been personally
acquainted with Senator Kenyon

we believe he can consistently, as q
loyal democrat, do what he honor
ably can to bring about the nomina-
ton of his friend.

Polk county claimed that the Rock
Island railroad company had lodged
taxes to the value of $23,00O,000,
but the officials finally settled with
the road for $4,000 If the road
really lodged $23,O0o,00O in taxes
it made s22,s25,ooo by doing it.
Dodging that pays so we'll as that
ought to be popular in Polk county.
Such examples, though, are rather
discouraging to the man who pays

If shipments of corn from Argen-

for a restoration Of the tariff upon
that product. 1t is reported that
more than one million of bushels

from abroad since the new law took
effect. That is one way of reduc-

not very popular in such states as
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin

The Cardiff Giant, now resting at
Fort Dodge, is as big as the ordin-

were standing erect he would be 10
feet seven inches tall. He is three
feet across the shoulders and his
mouth is four inches wide. The
right arm from the shoulder to the
end of the second finger is four feet
and nine and one-half inches, length
of second finger is eight inches and
the circumference of the neck is
thirty-seven inches. This hugh mass
